Is there a way to bring back old backups that no longer show on iTunes?

I recently upgraded to an iPhone 5, while restoring said phone from an old backup, it was having being a bit buggy. So I chose to backup my old iPhone 4 and it wiped it clean and backed up with only my audio files. I have lost all photos, apps, contacts, and messages.
When I tried to restore my new iPhone 5 from the previous back up, the back up did not show. the only back up that shows is the empty one.
Is there ANY way at all to find the previous back up and restore from that back up? My pictures and messages are very important to me and I just want to have them back. PLEASE give any suggestions as to how to get them back.
Thank you.

Itunes only saves one active backup.  whenever you do a new backup the old one is overwritten

  • Is there a way to bring back the "Open a New Tab" option via right-clicking on the Tab?

    I just upgraded to latest version of Firefox (6.0). Yesterday it informed me that an upgrade to Firefox 5.(something) was available and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I went for it. However, I hadn't used it since then till today. Now when I opened it today it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to version 6.0. Without hesitation, I went for it too.
    While this version looks nice, it feels a bit odd to use it. Previously whenever I wanted to open a new Tab, I right-clicked on any of the Tabs (active tab or any other Tab) and after right-clicking, it had the option to '''''Open a New Tab''''' along with few other options. Now there's no such option. There's the + button to open a new tab, but what if I want to open a link in a new tab by right-clicking on it? Similarly the option to Open in New Window is also missing.
    Is there a way to bring back those previous Tab options/settings? If yes, how?
    P.S. In my bookmark toolbar, when I click on a bookmark icon, it has the same options/settings as it previously had in the last version I used (last version I used was 3.something; while I'd upgraded to version 5.something I hadn't used it except for opening the browser when it asked me to upgrade to version 6.0). Options on right clicking the bookmark icon are:
    Open
    Open in a New Tab
    Open in a New Window
    New Bookmark...
    New Folder...
    New Separator
    Cut
    Copy
    Paste
    Delete
    Properties
    I'd also like to mention here that I know of the shortcut keys; so please don't waste your time by trying to help me that way. Thanks.

    No. The Tab bar is a regular toolbar in current Firefox versions, so you get the normal right-click context menu of a toolbar if you right-click the tab bar.
    You can double click on empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab if you do not want to use the new tab button.<br />
    You can drag a link on that new tab button to open that link in a new tab.<br />
    You can also drag the new tab button on another toolbar if you would like that better.<br />
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"<br />

  • Is there any way to bring back the font type and background of Safari reader from iOS6 in to the iOS7 ? I really miss it, the new design is awful, simple and has now class at all.

    I agree with you, many things in the ios 6.x were more elegant. The reader was the most one of them. I think the ios7 wants to be the windows 8.

  • I have converted a number of songs to mp3 format on my iMac, is there a way to view just the songs that have been converted in iTunes?

    I have converted a number of songs to mp3 format on my iMac, is there a way to view just the songs that have been converted in iTunes?

    You can view tracks in a given format by selecting to show the Kind column. If you mean you want to determine which specific MP3 tracks you have that were converted by iTunes as opposed to being imported in MP3 format, Get Info on a track and look at the "encoded with" field.

  • Is there a way to bring back link information at the bottom-left when highlighting a weblink or email address in FF29?

    I used to use the Addon Bar in previous versions of Firefox...not sure why it was removed as a lot of people use it, but I now have the extension that brings it back. However....in previous versions of Firefox, at the bottom-left, there was a place where a link or e-mail address would be displayed if I hovered over it with the mouse cursor without clicking...that function seems to be gone now...? Is there a way to bring this function back in FF29? Also, why were separators removed....it seems like a pointlessly trivial feature to eliminate...I miss them for organizing my UI! :(
    Thanks for any help or suggestions! :)

    The feature that shows the link you are mousing over hasn't been removed in 29. Maybe the add-on you are using to restore the add-on bar is covering it. I've tested the Classic Theme Restorer and it seems to work correctly in this situation - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

  • Is there a way to bring back the old Expose?

    the main reason I loved expose was that you can move files between files with expose open.
    I'm an art director so I'm constantly dragging images from one photoshop file to another, or from one window into a photoshop file, and expose made this really easy to do. I could click on a layer or file, initiate expose and drag said file or layer to a new window or document.
    Now mission control is straight up pointless, other than just showing what windows are open it serves no purpose. I can't drag files between windows or open photoshop documents anymore, you can't click on a file and start to drag then double tap on your mouse to launch it.
    It really is a BIG flaw in lion. Everything else is great but why would Apple remove such a powerful tool entirely?
    Why no leave the option in to turn it back on like the old school scrolling (which is better as well)
    Come on Apple!

    Currently, the only way to get the old behavior of spaces back is to reinstall snow leopard. I am personally unaware of third party solutions, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

  • Is there a way to bring back the actual tab "bar"?

    So in switching from FF3.6 to 5.0 I have noticed that the actual "bar" that holds the tabs is gone.
    Observe:
    [http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg]
    It's visually slightly annoying to not have a distinct separator between the tab area and the button toolbar, but that is something I can live with.
    However I can NOT live with the extremely annoying functionality drawback that comes as a result of this. In 3.X and before you could right click anywhere in the tab bar and it would bring up the tab management menu. Now you can't bring up the menu from empty space because it treats that space as part of the rest of the UI and gives you a different menu, forcing you to mouse all the way over to a tab to accomplish the same end.
    So my question is, does anyone know of a way, or an addon, that can bring back the actual tab bar? I find all of these UI changes to be nothing short of infuriating. I swear, Mozilla, Facebook, Pandora, Google, and Microsoft must all be in cahoots with each other because they're all introducing horrible UI designs at the same time.

    Well I guess that's kind of cool that you can add buttons in the bar as well, but I honestly don't have a use for that and I think it would get in the way more often than not in most scenarios I can think of (there's a reason buttons were segregated from the tab bar and it wasn't tech limitations). The previous functionality is much more convienent and useful and, well, functional.
    As for why FF5, well I've had the FF5 installation since before 6.0 was out, but the UI changes angered me so much that I abandoned it after about 20 minutes and went back to using my 3.6 installation; I've been letting the community stew and cook up solutions to the UI problems (status4evar for example) and like any good stew, giving it more time is better. Also a whole bunch of my addons (some of which are mission-critical to my browsing needs) were not [and a small few are still not] compatible with anything above 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x so I had to wait for those (mmm, stew). And then to top it off I figure the possibility that I'll run into upgrade problems is smaller if I go through the chain of updates rather than jumping from 3.6 straight to 7. And don't get me started on the whole rapid release schedule. :P

  • Is there any way I can find old backups of iTunes itself?

    The last time I backed up iTunes was a couple months back, and when I opened it up today all my songs were gone.  I have no idea what happened to them, so is there any way I could restore iTunes to a previous state, if I haven't explicitly backed it up?  I would have used a Windows system restore back to a previous state, but lo and behold, it hadn't been turned on, so I couldn't restore my Windows to a point where my iTunes was still intact (which was just hours before discovering everything was missing)
    I'm sort of panicing here; I still have most of the stuff on my iPod Touch, and I guess I could use sharepod or something to get them off of there, but I didn't sync some of the songs onto it (and I would really like all my previous iTunes stuff back). I had about 18 gbs worth (1.7k+) of songs on iTunes too...
    Any help is appreciated!

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Is there a way to delete an old Backup

    I have gotten the message that my iCloud storage is almost full on my PC and was wondering if there is a way to delete an older backup to make room.
    PC Windows 8.1
    iPhone 5s iOS 8.1
    iPad mini with Retina iOS 8.1

    Hello Nlangston,
    If your iCloud storage is telling you it is full, then take a look at the article below to walk you through manage it so you can clear up some space. Remember you can always upgrade your storage if you so choose, but that does cost money and I have provided a link for the cost of that if you go that route.

  • Is there any way to bring back the Documents window? [Android]

    I liked the Documents window in the previous version where all the PDFs of the phone was shown, plus theor source folder was indicated. Now, it's somehow troublesome to go through my phone's folders just to look for a certain file.

    Hi Leslie,
        Are you using an Android device or an iOS device? My understanding is that you are able to find local files on your device but it is painful without a consolidated list of PDF's. In addition, if you are using an Android device can you please share your Android OS version (Settings-> About Phone) with us.

  • Is there any way to find out all songs that I purchased from the iTunes Store?

    I have purchased many songs from iTunes Store, and I was wondering if there was a way to find which songs I would need to authorize, so I don't bother copying them to my work computer.   I can tell if I do this one at a time, but I have over 10,000 songs to go through.do
    Thanks!

  • Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?

    I did a manual backup and wanted to restore the iPhone, but iTunes forced me to update the iPhone before allowing me to restore the iPhone...
    After updating, I realised that iTunes created a backup automatically without confirming with me, and now the latest backup file is not the one I wanted.
    Is there a way to get back the backup file I manually backup?

    Is there a way to get back a previous iTunes backup file than the most recent Backup?
    No, to the best of my knowledge the device backup area is simply updated with new information each time the device is backed up so there are no previous versions preserved. Once a backup has been used to restore a device however it gets locked and dated so that you could return back to that snapshot at a later date.
    Your manual backup should have simply updated the backup with any new data since the last automatic backup. Upgrading should not have overwritten a backup taken just before the upgrade with a, presumably, empty state. Have you actually tried to restore the current backup that is available? It may have what you want after all. You might like to try backing up the current state of the device to iCloud first, or if you have access to another computer back it up to that.
    N.b. I always disable automatic syncing of devices so that I am in better control of when data starts to be written, and in which direction it flows.

  • They changed the way we see our appointments. That's awful! Is there a way to chnage back to the "old" way when you could see all your appointments at a glance????

    They changed the way we see our appointments. That's awful! Is there a way to chnage back to the "old" way when you could see all your appointments at a glance????

    Maybe I'm fool, but how I get the "day view"? I have three options on the top line, an icon that seems a computer (a square and two lines), a magnifying glass to search a especific item and a "plus" to add appointments. The "day view" isn't any more there - that's the point!!! Using the first icon a get the full month-that uses 2/3 of the screen- and two lines of appointments...To see the rest I have to slide up and down the two lines taking care to not touch the month...

  • Is there a way to access my old Notes only? I still have my old back up but I cant sync to my phone or it will corrupt it.

    I am using an iphone 5. Recently it malfunctioned and I was told by apple that my old back up had a corruption with it an caused my phone to malfunction. Apple had to redownload the operating system. I was also told that I can not use my old back on my phone I need to delete it and manually download everything. I DID NOT USE ICLOUD. However I do have my old back up still on my mac in itunes. Question below....
    Is there a way to access my old Notes only so I can rewrite them in my phone? I still have my old back up but I cant sync to my phone or it will corrupt it. I just want to access my notes so I can type them back into my notes on my fixed phone.

    you can restore from your backup again just to get the notes. once you've restored from the backup, copy your notes into your icloud notes group or email them to yourself - basically, get them somewhere else so they're not just locally stored on the device. once you've moved your notes elsewhere, restore the device as new again like apple had you do. this will again put a fresh version of the operating system on your phone like it has right now
    there's no other way to access the notes that are in your backup
