ITunes backup issue

I am having iPhone 5, which i backed up twice a day using iTunes(11.3.1) on my macbook pro 15"(os 10.9.4) one at 3.15pm and 4.00 pm, in 3.15pm backup i was having 20 gb of pictures and after deleting them i have taken one more backup at 4.00pm.
Now when i am clicking on restore backup, iTunes is showing me only one backup of 4.00pm not the 3.15pm backup with 20gb of pictures.
Now how can i restore my 3.15pm backup with all pictures again?

iTunes only keeps one backup, unless you restored from a previous backup.
I did a backup yesterday as in the image above. Next time I backup that backup will be overridden. The other dates shown are from when I did a "restore from backup" – I could restore to those if need be.
I'm afraid you can't restore to the earlier time slot as it's been overridden by the latest backup.

  • Use iPod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 - issues

    Hi all,
    I've just used my Pod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 but none of the apps were installed on the iPad mini. Only the default apps are installed.
    None of the photos from the camera roll were installed either, apart from a few 'screen shots' I have taken.
    iPod Touch is iOS 6.1.6 and the iPad mini is 8.1
    There was a warning advising that some of the apps in the iPod backup might not be compatible with the iPad.
    If it makes a difference, I'm using one Apple ID for the App store and another one for iCloud. When I was prompted for the Apple ID during setup on the Mini, I entered the iCloud ID.
    Interestingly, when I went into the App store on the Mini it showed the ID I use for that rather than the iCloud one, which seemed good.
    Is this what I should expect to happen in this situation or am I doing something wrong ?
    Many thanks. Mark

    I've managed to get the apps loaded without having to do it manualy !! :-)
    It was a case of RTFM - I forgot to do a 'Sync' after restoring the 4G's iTunes backup into the iPad.
    Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
    For some unknown reason, the Camera Roll images and Videos still weren't restored to the new device.
    This is not too much of an issue because I've exported them out of the 4G using the awesome 'Photo Sync' app. Despite it's name it actually does an 'export'and not a sync, which I think makes image management easier on the PC side

  • ITunes backup encryption issue

    Hello,
    I've searched these forums to no avail so far.
    The issue is that I want to backup my iPhone to iTunes (already have an iCloud backup anyway). iTunes has 'Encrypt iPhone backup' checked, but I can't turn this off as I don't know the password. I have looked in devices and there are no backups related to this phone as I had already deleted them before. I downloaded the program from this link http://www.recoverlostpassword.com/products/itunes-backup-password-recovery.html and selected the one backup which is my iPad but it said no password found.
    Is there anyway to uncheck this box at all?
    Many thanks
    Jamie

    Hello Fezzzer
    If you do not know the password, the next step would be to restore your iPhone and set it up as a new device. The article below will explain further.

  • ITunes 10.5 very slow syncing with idevices not a backup issue

    I have the latest itunes 10.5.2 installed on my 32 bit Windows 7 pc.  Ever since i upgraded my ipod 4 and iphone 4 to ios 5 it syncs very slowly with itunes (1 song aka 5 mb every 2 min and takes like 7 min to start syncing). i have tried restoring my phone and ipod with a new profile, making my ipod or iphone backup to icloud so that kills the long backup issue, reinstallled windows and just have itunes, reinstall itunes and wipeout the appledrivers then reinstall.  The devices sync fine when i use a mac that isnt mine. i also have tried outher windows pcs with no luck. im out of ideas and im tired of wating 4 hrs just for a audiobook or a movie to sync.

    Yeah seriously, I have my first gen iPhone and never had a issue with it. Blackberry always had a horrible desktop manager for the PC for YEARS and I always had to debug the issues myself for clients. Unfortunately for a lot of my clients the Blackberry is a better device for business, just horrible desktop software.
    Eventually I'll push my client to move over to hosted exchange server, But for right now before making that push, I need to resolve this issue with the Blackberry sync. I would hate for all the work and conversion over to the Mac to be wasted over a simple issue that possibly can be resolved by a simple setting I'm over looking.
    It's also a possibility the extremely slow syncing can be caused by years of unorganized entering of contacts, but trying to sort out over 2000 contacts would be near impossible for a person with a busy schedule.

  • Help with backup issues on ITunes IPhone

    I recently updated to iOS7 however before this i did the following:
    1. i used a new ITunes on my laptop so i plugged my phone in a made 4 backup copies before restoring my IPhone
    2. I restored my IPhone fine and updated to iOS7 in the process once restored
    3. I went through the steps on setting up iOS7 and got the the 'Restore from backup section' - I selected restore from backup and it started retoring from my last backup with all my apps/Contacts etc, It said it would take 16 minutes to fully sync it all back
    4. However during this process my laptop decided to restart therefor stopping the backup sync
    5. I reopen my Itunes and my IPhone is available on my ITunes, i select 'Restore from backup' but it only shows a backup from 23:45 which is the time staright after my laptop restarted
    6. It doesnt show any backups previousl to this in my ITunes backups folders for some reason - I have lost everything from my Phone and i cant seem to see the previous backups - They MUST be somewhere as i backed up 4 times prior to this but only 3 backups are being displayed all labelled as 23:45, 23:45 and 23:46..

  • Photo recovery from itunes backup

    Hi,
    Today Apple swapped out my daughters IPhone 4S (for the second time in a week) as it had a repeat of a wi-fi issue. They asked me not to restore the iTunes backup as they think that the settings of the old phone may be causing some sort of firmware issue. There lies the problem, the phone is backed up but the photos and contacts are not sync'd to my computer. Is there anyway of extracting the photos from the backup to my pc without restoring the backup to the phone.
    I have checked out a couple of extraction apps but they all want to charge me top dollar unless I just extract 1 photo or one contact at a time !!
    Thanks in advance

    Man, that MediaRECOVER worked great from a preview standpoint! I not only saw my previously deleted photos from the last "roll" but also saw additional photos as well from earlier rolls. I wish I had this a few weeks ago...
    Anyway, I haven't purchased it yet as I am in process of erase and installing OSX on my laptop again. I may have been able to get the photos from the a target disk mode data pull onto my older mac, but if that didn't work I'll simply use my latest backup file to restore all of my lost photos and use MediaRECOVER to get the photos that I added after the last backup.
    Thanks!!!
    PS - For anyone considering using this, make sure you have a media card reader to create a disk image of the flash memory, and don't take any more pictures using that memory until you use MediaRECOVER. The next pictures you take will replace the "deleted" images if you do this.

  • Can not access Viber messages, photos & videos after making restore from iTunes backup

    Hello Viber Team,
    I have sent several help requests about my Viber issue but I did not receive any reply from anyone at viber's support team.
    It's highly seems the new viber app v5.1 which released on November 18, 2014 for iOS devices has a bug which deletes all messages and call logs once the app is updated to the new version. Because it requires for re-activation of already active viber account (as a new user) which causes this issue.
    As mentioned in viber website, the only effective method to restore in-app viber data is to restore from either iCloud or iTunes backup. I've tried both methods while I had backup from my viber messages in both backups. But after iphone is restored the app, on the first attempt to open the viber app, it crashes and deletes all messages and a popup window appears which asks for re-activation (while the account has already been actived) and I did NOT deactivated or NOT deleted before doing restore).
    I have also reviewed the other people's feedbacks in AppStore and it seems that I'm not the only person encountering with this technical issue. I'm  using iPhone 5S with iOS 7.1.2 and tried at least 10 times to retrieve my viber messages by backup restore, and not sure if the device's 64bit SoC has anything to cause this problem.
    Please inform me to find a solution for this disaster issue, or at least let me know if you're acknowledged and are analyzing the issue to provide a fix in your next update.
    Thank you.

    First, restoring from a backup you made AFTER messing with restrictions isn;t going to help you. Doing so will put the problem right back on your phone. So unless you have an earlier backup - you may not - you will have to restore as a new device.
    Second, don't know where you buy your cables but an Apple lightning cable is $19 direct from Apple. Sometimes they're cheaper if you buy from Amazon or other online retailers. And even less if you buy a reputable third-party cable (never buy off brand!).
    finally, a new cable does not necessarily mean it works, though that would be unusual. First try resetting your iPhone. This will work even if it's in recovery mode. Simultaneously press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
    If that works, your good to go. If not, report back. But again, remember, restoring that backup will place the restrictions back on your iPhone.

  • My iPhone got stolen - can I back up that phone's data on another iPhone from iTunes backup?

    Details: My iPhone 4 was stolen and I activated Lost Mode on iCloud. A lot of time has passed and I've given up the chance of getting it back. My question is this. I'm trying to back up a new iPhone with my old phones data that I saved on iTunes backups. When I try to back up my new phone with the stolen phone's data, it says I must first disable Lost Mode before I can do this. Since the phone was stolen, I can't use the phone to disable Lost Mode and I'm if I go to iCloud and remove the device permanantly from "my devices" I'm afraid it will delete my iTunes backup for that phone and all the data I'm trying to transfer to the new phone. Does that make sense? How can I turn off "Lost Mode" without deleting my iTunes backup for my phone that was stolen so that I can back up my new iPhone with my old phone's back up file on iTunes?

    Hi solo1212!
    Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

    Hey jtom234412,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:

    Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.

  • Don't want to include podcasts in itunes backup

    I just backed up my itunes library to CDs for the first time and was surprised to see my podcasts copying. I have the settings set to only keep unplayed podcasts, and all have been played and removed from my ipod. They are also un-checked in my itunes library. However, on my backup every single podcast was saved. Once I've played them, I have no need to keep them. How do I keep this from happening the next time I do a backup?
    Thanks.

  • What doesn't iTunes backup? Backup\restore resolves network comm problem

    What doesn't iTunes backup? An app of mine is having issues with certain communications, and backup/restore resolves issue. Deleting and re-downloading the app doesn't resolve. This isn't acceptable solution, so I want to know what isn't backed up to figure out what is going on.

    An interesting scenario. I thought deleting the app deleted everything, not only the app filesystem but NSUserDefaults, associated keychain items, etc. Does it matter whether you delete the app in iTunes or on the device?
    Rather than ask what iTunes doesn't backup, start with what is does backup.  See iTunes will back up the following information on this page for an extensive list.

  • Will the iTunes backup (from iPhone) save the library of music on the phone?

    I have about 30Gb of music in iTunes. I spent significant time selecting my favorite Songs/Artists to put on the iPhone 4s, since the phone only has 16Gb of memory. I want to make sure the libary of songs I currently have on the iPhone will be restored to the iPhone in the event that I have to restore from iTunes or iCloud. I regularly backup to both iTunes and iCloud. Thanks!

    As far as I'm aware, an iTunes backup of your iPod Touch only backs up things such as Apps, and certain other data. It doesn't backup your music.
    So assuming that the backup you're referring to is not a specific and separate backup of your music, then no, you will not be able to use the backup to put your music onto the new iPod.
    It's a bit late now, but for the future, you need to keep your music etc. in the iTunes Library - and back that music up, preferably to an external drive.
    As for your original issue - the speaker on the Touch not turning off when you insert the headphones, have you tried a reset of the Touch? It's certainly the first thing suggested in the iPod Touch forum.
