Lost photos during a restore from backup on iPhone 4
This evening I lost important photos taken this past weekend when I tried to restore text messages to my iPhone 4. I didn't sync my phone prior to performing the restore. My last back-up was on 6/12. I restored everything from 6/12 and before, but lost everything from 6/13 and on. Can my photos be located and restored to my phone?
Why not? If old data is recovered by restoring, then new data after last back up lose. If keep new data after last back up remain, lost old data can't be regained, even may be user's lack of knowledge, iPhone should not be for the people of one class...I am really sad for all who suffer the lost of their hearts (valuable data that can never be recalled) like me. How can I continue to use idevices?????

Hi
I'm trying to restore from backup of IPhone 4 onto New IPhone 5 in iTunes but getting message:
"ITunes could not restore the iPhone "iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
I've repeated the backup of my old phone but I'm still getting the same message.
Any ideas please?
GerI just spent 3 hrs with AT&T tech support. No visual voicmail! i wiped phone 3 times, reset. everything no visual voicemail.
I can access it through dialing holding down 1 then enter password, bu t Visual voicemail is DEAD. ATT says apple has major bug and fix won't be out until OCT 5th.
If you Google it it lights up like a cristmas tree! Verizon is also inodated.
1. Fake Map app usless Apple is fixing it though
2. Batt is a joke, last like 2 hrs
3. No visual voicemail
4. Face time on ATT no longer works on cellular data per apple design.
We need Steve Jobs!! he would have fired somebody for all these mistakes.
Nopw i am locked into crashing my car because i have to type in numbers to here voicemails.
Come on Apple send us a rebate or a Iphone 5 that meets the specs stated on the box and advertisments.!!
We love Apple and dedicated, but this one is a joke.
Not to mention you jacked us all being locked into 2 year plans with Verizon or ATT.
No face time unless i buy a Bucket of 5 gb over celluar? give me a break Take care of us apple Buy ATT and igve us unlimited plans with facetime and data you got enough money! -
Apps fail to install during iPad restore from backup
I made a clean backup of my iPad2/iOS6, rebooted everything, then tried to restore from backup and there's a bunch of apps that failed to install. I've repeated this process 3x; every time it seems to be a different # of failed to install apps (3-80!!). I now have almost a full page of icons/folders with blank install bars under them.
Did anyone find a solution to this?!Haven't tried setting up as new. I did the restore and then when itunes asked me, I selected the restore from a backup that was created yesterday. I'll try setup as new first and then restore from backup after? It's going to be a real pain if I have to start everything from scratch :(

No Camera App after restore from backup on iphone 4
OK so I backedup my iphone 3g which was on 312 on itunes 9.2 before my iphone 4 arrived today. I restored from backup and all of my apps restored. I can't seem to find the camera app! It's driving me crazy that I am trying restore the iphone 4 as a new phone but downloading the iOS4 firmware for iphone 4 is taking more than 3 hours for some reason.
Has anyone seen this?Why not? If old data is recovered by restoring, then new data after last back up lose. If keep new data after last back up remain, lost old data can't be regained, even may be user's lack of knowledge, iPhone should not be for the people of one class...I am really sad for all who suffer the lost of their hearts (valuable data that can never be recalled) like me.

How do I restore from backup on iPhone 4S?
I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 on Wednesday and last synced it with my Mac on Thursday night at 11:30pm before going to bed. I bought the iPhone 4S on Friday morning and started it as a new iPhone. I think that I did something wrong, because I never saw the option to "Restore From Backup" so that I could port over my last iPhone 4 with iOS 5 back up. Can someone tell me if/how I can do this? Maybe I need to restore my 4S and start over. Thanks in advance for any help.
Thanks Bryan. Sorry to sound like such an idiot. The first time I tried that, but backup options didn't auto populate. I restored the 4S and followed your advice above. Worked like a charm.

Stuck on "waiting for changes" to be applied during a restore from backup
I am on an iPhone 5s and before installing iOS 8, I made sure to create a backup of everything on my phone onto my laptop. The iOS 8 download completed and during the install, it would get stuck on a white screen with a black apple and a status bar 1/4 complete. I waited several hours and nothing changed, so I talked to someone at Apple and they said that I needed to restore the iPhone, get iOS 8 up and running, then restore my phone from my latest backup which was made with the most recent version of iOS 7. The restore on the phone worked fine to bring it back to factory settings, then I went to restore from my backup on my laptop and this seemed to be working fine as it had my text messages, emails, etc., but it only has 1.5 pages of app icons (half of which are blacked out) and my iTunes remains on Step 5 of 5 "Waiting for changes to be applied". After several hours, I cancelled this backup restore and attempted to do it again, but the same thing happens. Is it possible to have a corrupt Backup? and if so, what should I do?
Thanks.Try this previous discussion:

Lost recent info when restored from backup
When I connected my phone, it automatically asked me if I wanted to restore from a previous backup. Without thinking, I clicked ok, and lost all my recent info - contacts, TM's, and songs, etc. Is there a way to get it back?
I've undone restoring my phone before, and it has worked, but I don't think I ever backed up my recent phone before it wrote over it with the old backup.To my knowledge, now that you have "restored" your phone using a previous backup, that's what you've got, if you didn't create a backup of your device prior to re-syncing. You should still be able to push your contacts from your email provider to update but any entered manually are probably gone.

Text contacts when Restored from Backup on iPhone 4S show up as phone numbers
I upgraded from a 3GS to a 4S. Setup went smooth enough, but (almost all of) my texts are showing up as phone numbers instead of being connected to their respective Contacts. Texting works whether I text the "phone number" or if I text them as a Contact (for which their names show up properly in Messeges app). Any ideas on how to fix this? All my texts are still there... it's just REALLY sloppy and it's driving me crazy... =(
Are you on Verizon? Several other threads have had this problem. Solution below, see if it works for you:
Here is the summary of the steps I took to correct the issue:
1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
6) Open the Message App to verify the fix.
If you are still broken, kill the Message App again, then reboot your phone.

I recently got a new iphone 4. Before plugging it into my Mac, I had taken a ton of pictures with it. I finally plugged it in to update my phone and get my music from my Mac. In the process, I selected "restore from backup". After losing all of my new pictures on my phone, and not syncing my music, it seemed like the worst thing I could have done. Is there any way to retrieve these pictures? Any help will be appreciated.
The pics are gone. This is what a restore is. You erased your iphone, reinstalled your software, then added back your settings from the date of the last backup.
You should have imported your photos to your computer as you would with any digital pictures, before any restore or update.

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?
Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!
If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.
Best,

After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all. Everything else seems to by fine, however. I have all my apps, contacts, even my photostream back, but my camera roll has said "downloading 137 of 1,345" for two days. I really don't want to have to start over as the whole process took almost 3 hours. Help?
Someone mentioned that syncing with ITunes, making sure that photos are being synced - even with an empty folder, fixed the problem. I tried it and it didn't work for me. Anyone got any answers that don't include losing the photos or erasing and restoring from backup again?
