Iphone Backup restore Help please

Does anyone know how to restore your backup after the "restore iphone backup" option is gone, Without having to restore the phone again

Turn the iPhone off by holding the top key then sliding to OFF.
The Hold the Home KEY only while connecting to iTunes.
The iPhone will then need to be restored and you can choose from where to restore it from. It should pop up when you click restore with the option. If not then hold Control or Option on a Mac while you click Restore.

  • Lost iTunes iPhone info (restore help please)

    hi all.
    i got a prompt when downloading a free pdf reader that i had a "new" or "altered" iPhone on my MacBookPro and i told the prompt to use the newer version and then it told me that it could not download (i think) because there was no iphone or something like this.
    now i see that i have nothing listed for my Phone in iTunes. by which i mean i am not seeing an iPhone listed when i would have though something should be listed even if the phone is not plugged into the computer.
    does anyone know if there is a good explanation on how to RESTORE the data from my phone to my laptop? or maybe i am misunderstanding what is going on? i basically want to make sure i know what to do before plugging the phone into the computer and attempting to get the data back to the laptop.
    thanks for any help

  • I manually deleted my iphone photos through windows explorer now it wont sync new music or backup. any help please?

    i manually deleted my iphone photos through windows explorer now it wont sync new music or backup. any help please?

    If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
    You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
    If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.

  • I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

    I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud.  Any thoughts?

    There are two aspects to iCloud.  One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud.  The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
    First to get an iCloud account:
    If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration).  If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
    Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
    To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7).  Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
    The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html  You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
    So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address.  You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

  • My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
    Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
    Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
    Is the TC new? If old how old?
    If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
    Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Use WPA2 Personal security only.
    Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
    Tell us how that goes.

  • Mail won't keep password saved on iPhone 4. Help please?!?

    I am suddenly unable to retrieve email. iPhone 4 will not save my password in settings.
    I am able to configure my email successfully on a different iPhone (3GS).
    Help please!
    Thank you!

    cutwright 93,
    I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
    (I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
    1. On the phone, go to Music.
    2. Click "More."
    3. Click "Shared."
    4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
    5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
    The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

  • Iphone failed restore, HELP!

    Deep breath!.....Few weeks ago i noticed a few problems starting with my iphone 3gs. First thing was that music that previously played fine stopped playing (but was still playing in Itunes) then video's taken on the iphone itself wouldn't play desite the fact they had peviously, it said the format wasn't supported? Anyway at the same time itunes started crashing when syncing with the phone occasionally, this seemed to happen after i upgraded to 10.3....so i uninstalled (as apple instruct you to) and reinstaled 10.2.2 which had been fine, but the issue was the same. Anyway tonight it synced ok so i decided to do a system restore to see if that would solve the issues with the music and the videos.  The restore got so far through (about 1/4 on the phone progress bar) then it just stopped working, there was no error message and itunes itself didn't crash, the restore just stopped working. I left it for 45 mins, turned off my firewall and AV but nothing at all was happening so i disconnected the phone and then an error message (14) popped up, all i can now see on the phone screen is the apple sign and the task bar up to where it was when i disconnected. Anyway i decided to once again uninstall itunes (properly again) and reinstall 10.3.1 to see if that was any good. Now when i plug the phone in it doesn't even load itunes up automatically and isn't even recognised in Windows (7 64 bit). Just nothing at all seems to happen, although the drivers seem to be there when i checked the system settings. I've been to the services screen in windows and the apple mobile device and ipod service settings are all correct so i'm now totally stumped! Any ideas?!

    Hi Jeff,
    It sounds like you want to unlock your iPhone and tried to restore it but ran into an issue with that process. If your carrier gave you a new SIM, you can unlock the iPhone without restoring it as shown in the first article below. If you do not have another SIM or just want to resolve the restore issue, try the suggestions in the second article.

  • Ipod touch scree frozen on zoomed mode despite restore  - help please

    my ipod touch screens have been frozen on zoomed mode . i did a restore thro itunes and even then it remains in a zoomed mode . screen is not responsive . any help please or is it a vist to the genius bar.

    Hello manickam,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    See this article about how to disable the Zoom feature. Keep in mind that the controls or actions to navigate with your iPod will be slightly different due to this feature being on, which would explain why you are getting no response when touching the screen.

  • IPhone Backup / Restore questions

    Maybe this has been covered here, but I am confused about backing up the data on my new iPhone -
    1) When iTunes says "backing up iPhone" before the sync . . . what is it backing up? Contacts? Music? Pictures? Applications?
    2) What does Restore do? It seems to indicate you will lose all of your data on the phone if you run restore.
    3) If I replace my phone . . . or Apple does at some point for a battery . . . will the Backup/Restore features in iTunes restore all of my contacts, music, pictures and applications to the new phone?
    While most things with the iPhone seem pretty intuitive, this whole process has me confused.
    Dave

    The backup that is created and maintained by iTunes stores data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, SMS messages, notes created with the Notes application, recent calls, call favorites, data created and stored by 3rd party applications, and photos captured by your iPhone.
    No need to backup iTunes content since your iTunes content remains on your computer and should be included with your computer's backup.
    Regarding contact information and calendar events, the iPhone is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. The exception to this is with an Exchange account or MobileMe account, which provides for over the air syncing with this data.
    With Vista, you can sync contact information and calendar events with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or Windows Contacts for contact information.
    A Restore completely erases your iPhone followed by re-installing the current firmware version. After the current firmware version is re-installed, you are prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup (which is the default selection), or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    This must be followed by a sync with iTunes to re-transfer data not included with your iPhone's backup such as all iTunes content, 3rd party applications, contact information, calendar events, bookmarks, and photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.

  • Backup/Restore Issues - Please Help

    I decided to update my software last night and it bricked my iPhone. After several attempts I was finally able to get it back to the factory default installation.
    Because of the multiple unsuccessful attempts, my restore list has been over-written by bad backups. Now I can't find a way to recover my good backup. The available restore list only shows backups from these bad backups and one from over a year ago. Did itunes delete all of my backups between now and then? Is it possible to recover them? I'm using a PC and I checked the backup folder in my profile. It is only showing 8 folders (there are also only 8 in the itunes restore list). Is there anything else I can do? What happened to all of my good backups?
    Please help. Thanks

    Is there any activity which is physically opening this file or some process that is reading this file in edit mode?
