Lost iphone backup from itunes. Help?

Hi! I did a backup of my old iphone 4 on itunes, and then I did backup of my wifes iphone and my ipad and today when I was going to recover my backup to my new iphone 4 it was gone. And now I have nothing. Is there anything I can do to recover?

cannot restore from the only backup that appear on iTunes!: it is greyed
That means the backup is corrupted or was made from an iOS version later than what"s on your divice.  What iOS version was in the phone when you backed up?  Jailbroken?
Were you also syncing your contacts with iCloud or an app on your computer?

  • Accessing the iPhone backup from iTunes...

    I've found the files and all that jazz, but is there currently any way to decode the mdbackup files? I'm running with Windows Vista, so I'm sure it will be a difficult process.... I appreciate any help or advice anyone has to offer. ;D

    Does Apple has any way to help me recover some photos that I took using iphone 3g from the backup files. Unfortunately, the manifest file associated with those backed up photo files are corrupt and incomplete. As a result, iTunes will not restore that set of backed files. Those photos are very precious to me. How can I decrypt those .mdbackup files and convert them back to jpg files? There got to be a way. thanks for the info!

  • My iPhone Backup from iTunes is very very very slow.

    I have seen other people in here complaining that their iphone backups are slow but mine is really really really slow. I lifted my iphone connected to backup last night and in the morning it was still halfway done. When I come to work I connect it to my work computer and by end of the day it is only a quoter done. I don't have a backup and I am not sure what I can do to get this thing to backup.

    I'm experiencing the same problem. My iPhone have been backing up less than 1GB (744 MB to be exact) of data for over 12 hours and only less than 2/3 was completed. I then received a telephone call (that I missed) and it started ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!
    I have 2 systems Vista and Leopard 10.5.4 and same things happens on both system.
    This is extremely annoying, I've been trying to backup for the past week and just haven't been able to succeed.
    I was told the latest firmware would resolve this problem. So I upgraded to 2.0.1 and I'm still having the same problem.

  • Restoring iphone backup from itunes account with multiple phones.

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can please help.
    Problem as follows:
    Backed up/synced both my wifes and my iphone 4 to the same itunes account on Macbook. Wifes phone gets stolen, so get myself new iphone 5 and new Macbook. Managed to set up and get my data onto new phone without any problems, so all sorted.
    I now want to pass on my old iphone 4 to my wife, but I cant restore the back up from her stolen phone on the old Macbook as itunes seems to only recognize and associates this phone with its last back up containing my data. Is there anyway that I can restore from the stolen phones backed up data? I have tried restoring the phone to factory settings, but then I still only get the option to restore from that phones original back up.
    Would be grateful for any help.
    Thx

    Yes it is possible. Just log in on both phones using the same iTunes account info.
    As far as synching goes, iTunes remembers the info you want synch'ed on each phone separately.
    If you download an app on one phone and pay for it, it will be free to download on the 2nd phone as long as you use the same iTunes login

  • How do I get the "previous" Iphone backup from Itunes?

    I restored my Iphone but ran out of disc space on C:/ when I restored my backup.
    When I connected my Iphone again - it made a fresh backup of the restoed "clean" Iphone.
    How can I get hold of the previous backup?

    Hi Greg
    Thanks for reply. Yes - it unfortunately did do quick "blank" backup before I could stop it.
    When I go to Preferences and device - I do not see the older backups? FOr example I can see the following backups - but it does not show to select it:
    D:\Documents and Settings\Ario\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\f42dcf2432719c4572955dcab11b6e67439912b0
    I can also see other backups on my previuous PC:
    I:\Dirk Burned PC Backup\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\42212401cdb9ec1a500c9291bf83ca8661d55c2e
    I also have a 2 day old backup that I can see at my work PC in a similar way.
    Is there any way I can get to these backups?  When I log onto Itunes, and I right click on my Iphone, I can restore - but then the selection is only shopwing my latest backup - which is the blank one.

  • HT2188 I just got an iPad mini, when I try to upload my iPhone backup from my Mac i get the message to upgrade my iTunes. I can not seen to find where the download link is for iPads on apple website. Can anyone help?

    I just got an iPad mini, when I try to upload my iPhone backup from my Mac i get the message to upgrade my iTunes. I can not seen to find where the download link is for iPads on apple website. Can anyone help?

    The message is referring to iTunes on your computer, not the iPad : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    The built-in apps on the iPad can only be updated via iOS updates, so if your iPad mini is on iOS 6.0.2 then its up-to-date

    Hi beckiewinter!
    I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:

  • I had a problem with my iphone and had to restore and now i have lost all music from itunes any way to get it back ?

    i had a problem with my iphone and had to restore and now i have lost all music from itunes any way to get it back ?

    It should ne in itunes on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then - in the U.S only - you can get previous itunes purchases from the beta version of icloud.  Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

    No there's not.  Otherwise that wouldn't be very secure, would it?

    Does Restoring backup from iTunes overwrite newer data on the iPhone?

    Yes, if that new data hasn't been backed up yet.

  • When I turn on my new iPhone 5s, I have to select a language and county and then my only options are to restore backup from iTunes or restore from iCloud.  I have already restored form iTunes, so what am I doing wrong?

    When I try to turn on my new iPhone 5s, the ONLY options it gives me is to either backup from the iCloud or restore backup from iTunes.  I have already restored the backup from iTunes, so I don't know why it keeps telling me to restore the backup.  And why won't it give me any other options?  I can't text, call, etc.  My phone will do NOTHING. 
    Any suggestions?

    It seems you restored from a blank back up if it is still asking you to choose one of those options. Set it up as new then manually restore from back up with iTunes on your computer and be sure to check the date of the back up an which phone the back up is from.

    Which password?
    If you mean the passcode to your iPhone, here's the solution:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you mean the encryption password to your backup on your computer:
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
