ITunes doesn't restore backup with iOS 7

I have an iPad 2 Wifi 16GB with iOS 7. I made a backup yesterday, then restored the iPad and I tried to restore all data from backup. iTunes says "restoring backup to iPad", then the iPad reboots and iTunes says that the backup was restored, but the iPad shows the set up guide, so the backup is not restored at all. I also had a lot of photos in my backup and I don't have them in my iPad after restoring the backup, so iTunes restored nothing. What should I do?

Hello alessandroderoma,

Best of luck,

ITunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion

iTunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even tried to use Replace Information On This iPhone and it doesn't work. Any idea guys?

I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc).

I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

Are you using a valid Apple charger that came with the iPad?
Attempting to use a computer USB port, an incompatible charger, or attempting to charge via a wall socket that only receives power from a wall switch — can all lead to a low, or depleted battery condition. Has this iPad been wet, or dropped?
Verify all of the above, and correct. If the iPad still cannot hold a charge, consider taking to an Apple Store, or authorized service provider to evaluate it.

Updating to 11.1.4 iTunes on an iPhone 4 with iOS 7. Will iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4 still be able to use it?

I just got an iPhone 4, but I updated to iOS 7. I need to edit the music on it, so I tried to sync it to my Windows laptop iTunes. It doesn't use the older version that is still on my laptop. My mom's iPhone 5 has iOS 6.1.4. If I update the iTunes on my laptop to the newest version, will her iPhone continue to be able to use the newer iTunes without upgrading to iOS 7?
Thanks~

Updating iTunes does not remove compatibility with any version of iOS.

Updated to iOS 5.0 / restore Backup from iOS 4.3.3 not possible!!!

Hi everybody!
On Saturday I changed my iPhone 4 on the new operating system iOS 5.0, here the steps as I proceeded:
Usind iTunes 10.5.0.142
1) I'm beginning to create a full backup (as the backup was still iOS 4.3.3).
2) Then I wanted to select the previously downloaded "iPhone3, 1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw" update file (Shift-click the Update button and choose file).
3) In this process I was constantly getting back the error message "3002".
4) In various forums I have read to update the iPhone via Restore and choosing the "iPhone3, 1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw" file (Shift-clicking the Restore button and choosing file) and then restore the previously created backup (from iOS 4.3.3) so that messages etc. will be retained.
5) The Update via Restore (Shift-clicking the Restore button and choosing file "iPhone3, 1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw") works fine!
6) However, it can't restore the created Backup (from the iOS 4.3.3) because "it's broken or not compatible"
7) Downgrade to 4.3.3 iOS is no longer possible.
Can someone please help me?
I would be very grateful!
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards

I have been working on this for the last two days - and still no luck. Did a reset. Did a restore. Now I am doing "Set up as new phone." Not very hopeful, but will let you know. Even called the Apple Store, and they were no help. Does anyone have an answer?

ITunes doesn't connect to any IOS device

Regrettably I've installed IOS 8.0.2 on my iPad2 and now it is super slow. I wanted to do a full backup to my computer and then setup as a new device hoping a clean install would make it a little bit better. Unfortunately, I cannot get iTunes to recognize the device. I've gone through everything I can find online, I've uninstalled all of the apple apps and reinstalled twice, followed all of the steps in iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows to no avail. The iPad shows up in Windows, I choose the "Trust this computer" when it connects on the iPad but iTunes doesn't see it at all. I've also tried my iPhone 5 that still has IOS 7 and my son's iPhone6 and none show up. I'm thinking there must be some registry corruption or temp file corruption or something. Anyone have any ideas to try at this point?

PLEASE HELP! iTunes won't restore backup for iPhone 5

I get the error message that the backup is corrupt or not compatible. Anybody knows why?

Do you have any older backups, or was that the only one. While iTunes will overwrite regular backups that are done, if you have done a restore in the past, those are kept with a date/time stamp. If one isn't too old, you can try that, but remember that anything done since that date/time would be lost.
The only other alternative is to restore the device as new and sync whatever data you can back from the computer.

How do I sync iTunes Library in Mac directly with IOS device if I use iTunes Match?

When I turned on Itunes Match on the iPad and iPhone, my entire iTunes Library imported from the Mac using the iTunes sync process was moved to the Cloud. However, this means that I have to download all my songs again on my iPhone and iPad. I have 6,700 classical music songs, and this would take days! Therefore, I'd like to sync the playlist in my iTunes Library in my Mac with the iPhone and iPad directly using the iTunes sync, so I do not have to download them again one by one. How do I do this?

Turn off iTunes match on the device temporarily and sync whatever you want from iTunes using the iTunes sync. When you turn iTunes match on again the synced content should be supplemented by the ability to download the remainder of your library, it should not be deleted.

Itunes doesn't work well with icloud - will Match make it perfect?

I was quite excited by the security and convenience possibilities of icloud and music. I am very disappointed that I have to buy a yearly subscription service to get if to work properly.
I am about to go through the six steps to get match for itunes working. And *that* requires a computer that I don't have.
Background: When I heard about icloud I thought 'What a great concept! I can backup everything - I lose my phone, my music - no problem.'
Not quite. Aside from other problems with icloud (another post coming) itunes is NOT integrated with icloud. NEW USERS BE WARNED. Weird thing is that icloud works for everything else, even my 1800 videos and photographs.
I did a restore from icloud and about 30% of my songs did not show up, 25% of my playlists were greyed out (empty) and 15% had disappeared. Songs showed up in some lists (purchased) but not others (albums?) What the heck? I observed that going to my account at itunes store showed everything and there was a cloud symbol with a downwards arrow, i.e. download. I have slow wifi at home and no data service on my phone so this was a headache downloading all my songs one by one and reorganizing/creating playlists manually. Imagine if I had 50000 songs! This hassle was even though *all* songs were purchased from itunes. Nit a single ripped CD or torrented song.
Based on multiple previous disappointments and different stories depending on who I talk to at Apple I am skeptical of whether Itunes Match will truly make my iphone5 musical experience seamless and problem-free. I have 5000 songs from various sources (mostly ripped CDs from public libraries but also some internet sources) on a hard drive overseas and the concept of replacing them with superior bit rates and album art is appealing. But I am cautious. His do I know Apple doesn't change the rules 5 years from now - technically or legally? And if I miss a yearly payment will my songs self-destruct?

iCloud is not iTunes Match. The two services are seperate and distinct and one service does not require the other. iTunes Match does not use iCloud storage, nor is it a backup service.
iTunes Match only scans, matches and uploads tracks in an iTunes library. It does not not do this on an iOS device. You cannot even purchase iTunes Match except through iTunes on a computer.
You should take a look at this page to get a better idea of what iTunes Match is and does: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

Cant sync iphone 6 plus to itunes, can only restore backup or setup as new

I recently bought a new iphone 6 plus and set it up through itunes by restoring from the backup of my previous iphone.
Since then I have made updates on my new phone (installed some apps, updated IDs and passwords, etc), and most recently let it install the ios 8.1.1 update.
Today when I connected my phone to my PC to sync it with itunes, the only options I am given are for setting up the phone, not syncing it.
Specifically, it gives me 2 choices. 1) Set up as a new Phone, 2) Restore from this backup (the backup from when I already originally set up the new phone).
I do not want to restore the phone in either of these fashions, I only want to do a sync to a) get the updates on my phone backed up into itunes and b) install music from my itunes onto my iphone (which for some reason did not come across in the original setup).
How can I SYNC my phone without simply having to RESTORE it to the state it was some time ago ?
If I am having this problem now, it seems I would be stuck in this situation in the future too.

It's been almost 3 weeks since I posted this. Any suggestions on how to fix ?

Itunes doesn't see iphone on ios 7

Running 7.0.4 on iPhone 4S, Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 64-bit version of 11.1.3.
iPhone was previously detected by iTunes prior to update.
A second iPhone 4S running iOS 6 is consistently detected without any problems.
I have already tried all solutions given on this support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538) to no avail.
In device manager, no x or ! shows up.
iTunes already on latest version.
Tried multiple USB cables, all genuine. Tried multiple USB ports, all working but iPhone still doesn't show up.
Apple Mobile Device Support is definitely installed. Tried reinstalling AMDS and iTunes. Tried restarting AMDS. No good.
Tried installing driver from Common Files directory.
No software changes between iOS 6 and iOS 7 update. No possibility of third party software conflict.
Note: was able to restore the iPhone to 7.0.4 from 7.0.2 on my MacBook Pro so there's nothing wrong with the phone or cable. This is not a viable long term option for me, since the MBP is a work computer.
Please help if you know

Did a diagnostics test on iTunes. This first screenshot is BEFORE I plug in the iPhone.
After plugging in the iPhone and trusting the computer (this trust popup, by the way, continuously comes up EVERY TIME I plug the iPhone into the computer. Stopped popping up after the first time I plugged into Mac but it comes up EVERYTIME on Windows), I get the User Account Control popup asking for permission. I click Yes.
