Itunes restore deleted icloud restore
Hi,
I'm facing a bit of a problem here.
I had two separate backups, each containing different data, one using itunes and one using icloud.
Once I had my new iphone I restored using icloud first, faced no problem there. I then restored using itunes, you know to get the other data. this deleted the data from the first icloud restore.
I beleive I did this they wrong way, any way I can fix it?
Any way I can get the data from the icloud back again?
help would be very much appreciated!

Next time do backups on both (iCloud and iTunes) so that the data is the same.
Or not ... sometimes it is preferable to have a different backup in case something goes awry. I do my daily backups through iTunes, but once a month (or more frequently) I will do an iCloud backup which can not only serve to rescue me if I need to restore while away from home, it can also get me back to a known state in case a corrupted state gets into my daily backup.

I have had to restore my pc to a place back in time when it worked correctly. This meant that iTunes was deleted. I have now downloaded the latest version of iTunes but I cant sync my iPad with it. I get the message that this iPad is synced with another iTunes Library and cant sync to this one. Thankfully all my music library is on iPad. I would be grateful for some help on this issue
Its solved I just restored it to that point

How to restore a deleted iCloud storage backup?
I deleted it all to free up the free 5 GB storage and now on my iPhone 5s some of my Contacts are missing a phone # info and some of the Contacts are missing entirely. Thank you.I used this to restore my deleted notes from Time Machine, hope this helps others
closed Notes,
turned WiFi off,
entered finder/go+option/ to 'get to library': /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/
entered TM and selected the 3 files/ hit restore/ keep both (just to make sure, then I deleted the newer file, not the 'restored' file when this worked out)
opened notes and my deleted notes were back so I copied my notes into pages as a backup,
turned on WiFi and the notes disappeared!
replaced my restored notes by copy/pasting my backups into notes/iCloud....
notes/mac would not show across iCloud.... don't remeber this being an issue prior to Mavericks when 'all' notes were selected?
Apple needs to hear from us so they can fix glitches like this. TM was created for instances like this, hopefully this is just an oversite. Pass this along to Apple Feedback/iCloud/bug. If enough of us flag such issues, hopfully it's addressed on the next update.
Dear Apple, this should be much easier than it is. We should be able to open Notes, go into Time Machine, and restore anything regardless if it's on my Mac or on the cloud. -
hi all!
Reseting ipad, we are asked to restore info from icloud or itunes. If we choose icloud, the info will be restored, but the apps on the ipad should be downloaded from app. store! because icloud can't save the applications. and If we choose to restore with itunes, the apps will be loaded quickly ,But still we need our info in icloud. and if we go to icloud backup , from ipad settings, we just have one choice: back up now! that backs up the new info, not our backed up info. but we need our backed up info.
After I restored my ipad I chose itunes restore. now how can I get my info of which is backed up from icloud?bechosken wrote:
My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes
This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
That's not quite what it said. Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera. -
When I update itunes it deletes the library file, and when I restore that file from the previous libraries or my backup, itunes will run but tell me "the iTunes library file cannot be saved. A folder was specified instead of a file" How do I fix this?
Hi there Br0x,
You may want to try rebuilding the iTunes library as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I am not able to restore neither from iTunes nor from iCloud. The proble with iTunes is it says that the backup is corrupted or incompatible. And I am not able to connect to iCloud for restoring. I have IOS 7.0.4 when I have taken the backup.
iCloud does not connect and it says Request Timed out.
Not Sure how to restore my iPad.
Please help!!
Thanksmy problem is with I cloud not iTunes what's up with apple haven't they got the brains to sort out this prob, that they have to let the "community " know instead of helping to fix the problem without having to go through all the hassle of signing in writing a small blog & then leaving it until someone bored with time to write their blog to at some point fix the prob or not ! oh nearly forgot my prob like

TS4036 Can I restore my iTunes from the iCloud on a PC?
I recently lost my hard drive and had to get a new laptop. I had everything backed up to the iCloud but the only thing being restored to my iTunes are the things I purchased on iTunes. I had some CDs that I had imported from friends that are no longer there. Is there any way I can restore a laptop iTunes from the iCloud?
The backup only includes music purchased from the iTunes store. (It actually doesn't include the music, it just redownloads it from the iTunes store when you restore the backup.) Music in your iTunes library is expected to be in your itunes library. If your hard drive failed and you don't have a backup of your iTunes library, the music imported from your CDs is gone and will have to be reimported.

I had bought iPhone 4 from OLX. When i had deleted iCloud account and restored my iPhone it is still asking me about Apple I.D to activate my Phone.. Why is it so..?? Suggest me a possible reason for my Question so that i may continue using my iPhone...
I dont have any contact detail of that person whom i had bought this phone..If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync

Does itunes restore deletes everything permanently?
I had an iPod Touch 5th generation 16gb for iOS 7.1.2, and sold it off to eBay. I used the iTunes restore option to restore it into a new device by downloading the core software from Apple's servers, and starting fresh. I am just wondering does iTunes restoring to a new device permanently deletes everything on that iPod?I see software that claims to crack the security of iPods and iPhones and retrieve lost or deleted data.
The erase all contents and settings effectively deletes all of your information. I say effectively because if someone wanted to spend enough money they could retrieve information, but that will cost a very large sum. Only alternative is to destroy the device or have access to a high security erasing system that will overwrite the storage multiple times.
You can feel comfortable that your information has been erased on the iPod you sold...retrieval would not be worth the effort. -
can anyone help me please. i stupidly deleted icloud as i thought that was what was giving me problems with phone. didnt realise it would delete all my contacts as well. i then, again stupidly I think, synced my phone backing up the phone to the computer and probably overriding the cotnacts that were on my computer? Anyway, can anyone tell me how you back up from the computer BACK TO THE PHONE to see if I can get my contacts back? Would be very grateful if you could give me the step by step idiots guide as I am really nervous around technical stuff

Again thank you SO much for helping with other problem = a real relief.

HT1918 How Do I reverse my main Apple ID email address with my Apple (iTunes) Restore email address?
How Do I reverse my main Apple ID email address with my Apple (iTunes) Restore email address?
Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device). -
How i saved my ipod from the itunes restore loop
this is a success story, i hope it will help others to save their ipods too. my ipod is a black 30gb 5g (late 2006) whereas my system is leopard 10.5.4 and itunes 8.0.2. but i'm sure it will also work with another ipod, mac os x and itunes version.
*what happend:*
my ipod fell on the floor from about one meter height. it was not the first time that's why i didn't really worried about any damage. but this time it was different.
*the symptoms:*
my ipod showed a white screen with the text "Connect to your Computer. Use iTunes to restore.". i connected it to my mac, the ipod mounted on the desktop with a generic white harddisk icon. then i started the restore process inside itunes. after about a minute the ipod restarted and instead of showing me an installing-progress-bar the ipod showed me the same white sceen again. after the fourth or fith restore i realized that i was cought in the itunes restore loop.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1441?viewlocale=en_US
*the solution:*
i searched the internet and came across a lot of articles that described the same problem as mine but none solved it. then i stumbled over a very useful post in the forums. it proposes a lot of solutions. maybe it is useful to read it before you continue with my post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4531234
+note: the following procedure will delete all the data on your ipod.+
1. connect your ipod to your mac. wait until it is mounted on the desktop. if the ipod isn't mounted put it in disk mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
2. ignore any message from itunes and open the "Disk Utility" application inside your "Utilities" of the "Appplications" folder.
3. choose your ipod in the sidebar. switch to the tab erase.
4. choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as volume format. leave the other options as is.
5. click on the "Security Options …" button. in the sheet choose "Zero Out Data" and click on "OK".
6. click on the "Erase …" button and wait for about two hours. it will take longer on a bigger harddisk.
7. the earse will end with an error message telling you something about invalid data. ignore it. this is because the harddisk can't be partitioned without the correct drivers form the firmware.
8. eject your ipod and reconnect it to your mac. itunes should now start with a message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes". click on "Restore" and wait.
9. after a moment the ipod should restart and an installation progress bar will appear. do not disconnect the ipod and wait until the install is complete.
10. the ipod will restart and now you should get back your normal ipod interface. congratulations, you saved your ipod!
if the described procedure didn't solve your problem you can put your ipod in diagnostic mode to see where the problem may be. for this you need a wall power supply or a fully loaded ipod: http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml/

Can you tell me if you do this will I lose the TV shows that I have purchased and downloaded on ITunes 7.0. I am having serious problems installing CD's. Everytime I open the new version and install a CD, my computer keeps restarting and then says there was a serious error to my computer. Sometimes, it mentions DVD 43, and sometime it mentions a video device driver, my this is a new computer not even two months old. I have the old version still installed on my laptop and was wondering about moving it over to the main PC, but would hate to lose my purchases.

My computer crashed and dont have itunes backed up, how can I get itunes restored.
my computer crashed and dont have itunes backed up, how can I get itunes restored.
Your media is only where you put it.
If you have failed to maintain a backup, then you may seriously be out of luck.
Apps can be redownloaded as many times as you like.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, then it is possible to redownloaded music via iCloud from the purchase history in iTunes.
Outside the US, you can try contacting iTunes customer support. Just keep in mind they are under no obligation to assist simply because the customer failed to maintain backups of the customers purchased content. -
After I did a backup from iTunes I noticed 3 of my contacts were gone and then tried to restore from a old backup, worked once and now it won't again. Why is iTunes restore not working correctly?
I thought all my contacts were saved in iTunes, never had this problem before. Besides manually restoring them myself, is there any other way to retrive them?iCloud
