Iphone back up comes empty

I was restoring my iphone from my main back up and accidently unplugged it and when i try to redo it . i only get my contacts and numbers back. im assuming i made a new backup but when i lookinto my folder of the back up its still there all the pictures but when i try to restore it over and over again ... it does nothing . i tried dfu mode . recovery mode. deleted the back up and copied it back in but nothings working its not corrupted or anything and i see all the data 30gigs of it...

At least without 3rd party software, you can't go in and see the photos and other items saved by an iCloud backup. The closest thing to that you can do is go to Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage > and see the size and date. I have seen advertisements for an iCloud backup extractor but haven't tried it or heard from anyone who has.
With a backup done to your computer via iTunes, there are extractors that will allow viewing the files.
I insure all photos are periodically imported to my computer (via Photo Stream or USB) where I can see them and I insure my Contacts are synced to iCloud and my computer -- just in case there is a problem with a backup.

    I just checked out the info, the iphone video that was recieved was 25.9MB compared to the original slideshow on my iMac at 297.5MB.
    What would you recommend I do to share the file in the large format so the clarity is great?
    I was trying to avoid using a flash drive and having to mail all those out, but that may be my only option.

  • Syncing from iphone back to macbook?

    The hard drive 'died' on my Macbook just before the 3 years warranty was up so now have a new hard drive but lost all information and files (though tried with expert help - could not recover any). Now I would at least like to sync all the info/music/ical etc on my iphone back to my macbook but cannot see how - can anyone help?
    thank you!

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you replaced your hard drive, your phone, see your computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in Address Book & ical. The entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click(Control Click) in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    That's as good as it gets without a backup of your itunes library and other important data..

  • HT1338 What if doing this says that my software is up to date, but it isn't.  Im running Mac 10.5.8, so I can't get itunes 10.7 which means i can't put music on my iphone 5!  I am beginnging to think I should just take my iphone back because this is ridic

    I am trying to put songs onto my brand new iPhone.  I have itunes version 10.6.3 and it says that I need 10.7 or earlier in order to sync the IPhone, so I found that download, attempted to download it, but now it says you need Mac OS X 10.6.8 or better.  I'm running 10.5.8, can't find anywhere on the website an option to update my computer to 10.6.8, tried the software update option and it comes up saying my software is up to date.  I am now extremely frustrated and ready to take my iPhone back to future shop and to tell them to keep it.  I had this exact same problem when I got my new iPad in october.  It still doesn't have any music on it because I could figure this out.  Someone please help!

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

    iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

    You will either need to use iTunes Match or automatic downloads on it, or redownload some of your past purchases.

    Hi Nathanbeyondme!
    I have an article that can help you with that question:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Store your content in iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11421
    Safari bookmarks and tabs
    iCloud keeps your bookmarks and Reading List the same in Safari on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. On your Mac, Safari also uses iCloud to let you open tabs that are open on your other devices. You set up the Safari service in iCloud preferences.
    If you are having issues with syncing these bookmarks, you will want to reference the following article:

  • Is there anyway for me to recover the music i have in my iphone back to my itunes on my mac?

    is there anyway for me to recover the music i have in my iphone back to my itunes on my mac?

    Hello dayra. Just plug in your phone then go iTunes "File" -> "Transfer Purchases". If it doesn't work, you can use an iphone to Mac transfer program to help.I personally use this iPhone to Computer Transfer for Mac.It helps me to transfer my music, video, photo, ePub, pdf, Audiobook, Voice memos, Camera roll, ringtone, Podcast, TV Show, SMS, Contact and Call List from iphone to my Mac directly and safely.It works well for me,you can give it a try.
    Hope it helps.

    Normally you would restore the backup of the computer, but you say you don't have a backup of the computer. That is a shame. See this user hint to try and rebuild your library. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
