Missing iOs backup

help please. all downloaded applications from my laptop including iTunes were removed after doing "Refresh your PC" (a Windows 8 procedure that changes your PC settings back to their defaults, lets you keep your files however apps you installed will be removed) since I was having some issues with my hard disk. i reinstalled my itunes and managed to restore my iTunes library following this procedure http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751. However, upon checking Edit > Preferences > Devices > Device backups, I found it empty. I also tried looking for the iOs backup data here: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\, this was also empty. Is there any way I can retrieve these iOs backups somewhere?

Doubtful.

How to relocate ios backup in Itunes?

How can I relocate the Itunes IOS backup in Mac? I dont have enough space on my main drive and I want it to save on my external drive. You cant just edit this yourself in Itunes (even after years). I think Apple did this on purpose so people will buy more Icloud space. Not very costumer friendly if you ask me. Also, I never see a video about it....how strange, because allot of people think this is handy. Because on a SSD on your mac it is not easy to backup 20gb for just your IOS divice and I use Ipad and Iphone.

Tnx, but I already saw that one ( it was the first search that I tried on). I google it after all. I'am actually looking for a video that shows me to doe this backup trick on the mac, because it is not working for me. I think I am missing something or I am doing something the wrong way. But with a video I can just do axaclty the same. Much easier. So I cant understund why I can not find a video for it.....but thanks for the link anyway .

IOS Backup Questions

If there is a better place for my issue, please tell me.
Yesterday I performed a Restore on both my iPhone 5 and iPad3. The settings on both were for iCloud backups. With the iPhone, I got options to choose from several iCloud backups. I got what I selected - but that Restore did not include some items such as Camera Roll images, modifications/additions to Grocery Gadget App, weather cities, etc.
With the iPad Restore, I was only given the option to Restore from my iMac and the most recent Backup listed was August 23, 2012 (there were maybe 6 others going back to right after the iPad3 was released - got it the first day) The Restore included as far as I can tell everything.
Both devices had iOSA 6.0.1, my iMac is 10.8.2
This leaves me with questions -
#1 How does one get to choose the restore from location? My iPad is backed up in the iCloud - I can see the usage from my iPhone (Settings; iCloud; Manage Storage)
#2 Are the items stored fundamentally different with a PC vs iCloud storage? i.e. do app settings get stored locally, but not in the cloud? If there is no fundamental differenece, why did I get a camera roll restored from the local/iMac backup, but not the iCloud backup?
#3 I have found the backups on my iMac and have dug far enough to know I have some old backups for devices I no longer own -- like the Original iPad and an iPhone 4. Is there any reason to keep these? Any danager in deleting all of them? How do I determine which BU goes with which device?
#4 iOS Backup Extractor is one tool for retrieving images form these backups. Are others better or commonly recommended?
#5 Is there any downside with forcing a local Backup on my iPhone and then using the clould at a later date? Based on my experience it would seem the local Backup has more data.

If you get the message "Backup not successful", I had the same problem.
My solution was to turn off some apps (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap my device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options) and try a manual backup. If it didn't work, turn off a few more apps and try a backup. Keep doing that until the backup works. Then try adding in some of the last batch of apps that were previously turned off - the objective is to find the app that causes the backup to fail. For me, I suspect that the one app I found had a bad data file that, when included in the backup, caused the backup to quit.
This can be a long process if you have a lot of apps that you originally turned on for backups.

[solved] missing latest backups for iPhone after getting replacement phone

Thought I would share this one in case anyone else runs into it.
My the speaker on my wife's iPhone 4 on Verizon had stopped working for phone calls for the second time and a restore didn't fix it, so she returned the phone and they gave her a new one at the store. We had made several backups over the last few days, the most recent was this morning.
So tonight we hooked up the new phone to iTunes and got ready to restore it, but iTunes said the restore was last updated in FEBRUARY. What?! My wife freaked out thinking all her photos etc. were now lost for good.
I held off on the restore and decided to do some checking around before doing anything. I found the folder where the restore files are, and sure enough I found files from today. I copied that folder just in case. I also checked in iTunes itself and the backups were listed. So what was up?!
It finally occured to me that we had recently upgraded her phone to iOS 5, but that the new iPhone 4 from the store was probably still on iOS 4 -- maybe iTunes was not smart enough to see this situation and tell us about it, and maybe it won't listed iOS 5 backups for an iOS 4 phone.
Well that turned out to be the case. But what to do to fix it? I figured if I could get iOS 5 onto the phone, we would be all set. But I didn't want to tell iTunes to label it as a new phone either -- I'm not sure if that would be permanent or what. So I took a leap of faith and held down the power button and home button simultaneously for a while, past the power off notification, until the phone prompted to be connected to iTunes to be restored.
Then I plugged it back into the computer (this is Windows 7, by the way). Sure enough iTunes said it detected a phone in recovery mode, and would I like to have iTunes restore it to factory settings and put on the latest iOS? I sure would, so I did that and waited...
After that was done, iTunes wanted me to active the phone with Verizon. We had already done that an hour earlier over the phone, but tried it anyway, and it failed. We ignored that failure and went into the phone in iTunes -- it now asked if it was a new phone or if we should restore it -- and the backup from this morning was listed. Phew!
Finally completed the restore. I noticed that all of the passwords for all apps were lost -- unlike with a normal restore/backup on the same phone -- but everything else (pcitures, apps, etc.) was there. Thank goodness!
So, if you have upgraded the iOS version and have to replace your phone and the nreplacement has an older iOS verison, then that may explain why your backups appear to be missing...

Yes, I tried. But nothing is working. I am feeling bad as such a costly phone stop working in 1.4 year ?
I am just sharing my experience.
I am not ranting but yes angry as I am eligible for upgrade in Nov 2012 so don't want to pay $149 for replacement as I can upgrade to iPhone 5.
Apple expert please help me how can I fix it. It's completely software issue.

Missing iPhone backup in iTunes from iOS5 update. What happens to the backup files from the update process?

My PC had a BSOD while restoring my data. After I restarted, opened iTunes, and connected my phone, the restore did not resume. (I have seen the restore process resume after an interruption.) I tried to manually restore the data, but iTunes does not list the backup that was taken during the update process. Is this backup stored in a different location or format? Is there a way I can get my data back? I tried an extraction tool from the web and it didn't detect the backup from the update.

Same with me; I only found one backup dating back from august; tried that and works fine. But missing all my pics/vids in between. I have been searching my pc for files that were created on the day of the OS upgrade, but could not figure out any backups...
Any help?
iPhone 4, Windows 7

Missing iTunes Backup files

I just did a sync with my iPhone 3GS 3 days ago, then today I upgrade my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6.0.1,
but I accidentally select new phone for my first sync.
Later on, I tried to find the backup files which I sync 3 days ago, it didn't appear in the list.
I only see the latest or the nearest date was a year ago, how is this possible?
Where is those I sync between 2012 and 2013?
Anyone has any idea how to solve this?
I am using MacBook with iTunes 11 to sync.

Did you back up to iCloud or to your Mac through iTunes?

Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup, or Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, and don't restore the iCloud backup.

Missing Device Backups in iTunes

After a new installation of Lion I restored iTunes from Time Machine. For some reason none of my Device backups are showing in the preferences pane. Any recommendations on how I can find the missing files in Time Machine and restore them to iTunes would be appreciated.

It only appears when a device is connected. If you have a device connected and it is not recognized, the following may help:

Missing database backup

Hi All,
I have an issue going on for weeks now.
I am running on AIX version 5.3 with oracle 10gr2.
Scenario:
I have recently setup our prod. environment to run on incremental backups.
Every Sunday a level zero will run which will delete older backups with recovery window of 2 days.
From Monday to Saturday a Level 1 backup is running.
So theoretically what will happen in my understanding should be there will always be two Level zero availabel in rman.
The behavior currently is, after two days from last level zero, the previous level zero aside from the current becomes missing.
I don't have any delete command for backups running on my level 1 scripts.
The strange thing was this, Rman doesn't report the other level zero anymore but physically the files were still there.
When I query from v$backup_set_details it didn't report the other level zero backup either but in v$backup_piece it shows those level zero pieces with status of not deleted.
Do you guys think that this is a bug with Incremental backups?
I would greatly appreciate your insights and feedback regarding this issue.
Regards,
Tim

My backup failed last sunday due to this issue so I have to manually delete the physical files. My /fra got full. Then re-run the Level 0 this monday.
As you can see. The level zero for July21 was gone.
Below is my the rman list backup yesterday. Level 0 is still present:

Info.plist, Manifest.mbdb, Manifest.plist, Status.plist files are missing in backup folder

I restored my iphone 5 to the default setting.
Before restoring, I backed up the data in iphone but backup files have been corrupted.
I found that Info.plist, Manifest.mbdb, Manifest.plist, Status.plist files are missing in the folder where the back up files are located.
(C:\user\user name\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup)
I copied these files from another backup in the folder of the corrupted backup, but it did not work on either itunes or third party software.
I even opened each of 4 files and modified the date, but still does not work.
I know I can change extension of each file in the corrupted backup folder, but there are more than 8000 files in that folder.
Is there any way to create the 4 files for the corrupted backup file?

I dont like some of the features in ios 7. i miss ios 6. is there any possible way to downgrade my ipod touch 5th generation to ios 6.1.3?

i upgraded my ipod touch to ios 7 for the first time and i loved it at first. but i dont like the texting. the keyboard is all glitchy. it runs slower and is just way to smooth for me. i dont like that. i want ios 6 back. i miss the way i was able to text people. i want the old facebook back. it was much faster. i want ios 6 back. is there any way to downgrade? i dont wanna have to leave apple and move on to android. thats what a lot of people down here are doing because no one likes ios 7. we want ios 6 back.

iPhone desn't allow you to use whatever iOS version you want other than the most current. There is absoluetly no way to downgrade, authorized or non.

Is it possible to recover overwritten iOS backups?

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, bofore i restored it to factory settings. when I then tried to restore my iphone to my backup, it was nothing there. I believe the old backup may have been overwritten automatically when i inserted my iphone to my mac again. is it then possible to recover these files somehow?

There is some way to simply download the iOS (as compared to download and install).
If you download and install, you are required to keep the iPhone attached to iTunes throughout the download. If you simply download, there is an "eject" button that shows up during the download, and you may press that and remove the iPhone from iTunes. I suggest this latter approach. Then once the download completes, you can reconnect the iPhone to iTunes and complete the process.

New to iOS - backup and security

Hi guys,
Just bought my first iPhone (3GS) so I'm a novice when it comes to iOS. I would appreciate if someone could answer a couple of questions I have regarding my device:
1. I am running Windows Vista, and noticed iTunes backs up my iPhone when connected. Is it possible for me to store backups of these backups externally so I can restore in the event of a hard drive failure?
2. I am reluctant to upgrade to iOS 4, solely due to performance issues. I am aware of an update to iOS 4 which plugs a security vulnerability relating to PDF viewing. Does this vulnerability exist in 3.1.3? For the record, I am not interested in jailbreaking.
Thanks in advance.

1. I am running Windows Vista, and noticed iTunes backs up my iPhone when connected. Is it possible for me to store backups of these backups externally so I can restore in the event of a hard drive failure?
Yes. The backup file locations are listed in:

(Click "Expand All Sections".)
Note that the backup does not include music, so you should also backup your iTunes library.

That may be a problem currently with the 3G, but not with a 3GS. 4.0.2 works fine on my 3GS.

IOS backup storage not on C: drive via Windows XP

Is it possible to store backup files of iOS-devices anywhere else but C: disk drive via Windows XP? I can't update my iOS-devices to iOS 5, because I don't have enough space on the C: drive and therefore I can't accomplish backup process.
Thanks.

You can redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink(shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool).

Using Time Machine to restore to new hard drive missing recent backups

On Mac Book Pro 2009 with OS X 10.5.8.
I have been backing up to Time Machine on an external drive since 2009. A few month ago I upgrade to OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Trying to install a new hard drive and restoring from Time Machine. Just before installing the hard drive I again backed up to Time Machine.
Trying to restore from Time Machine.
Note: this link shows the screen I am on. It isn't from my computer. Just showing for display purpose.

"Select a backup. Select the Time Machine backup you want to restore. Only complete backups of Mac OS X appear in the list"
The problem is, the most recent "complete" restore point in the list is August 2011 (OS X 10.5.8). How can that be? Over the years I have checked Time Machine and I have back ups way past 2011.
What should I do?
Thanks

So I just purchased an internal drive (separate from my system drive) to use as a Time Machine drive, for both of my computers (only one partition). Since they will be backing up every day, I will retain much more recent material in case of drive failure.
Let Time Machine back up every hour, as it's designed. That will protect you best.
My question is this - if I have a drive failure on my current internal system drive, and the internal Time Machine is intact, is it possible for me to take my external bootable backup (say 3 weeks older than Time Machine in how recently it was backed up), make a cone of that on a new internal system drive, and then use Time Machine to restore that drive to what is most current on Time Machine?
Does this question make sense?
The question makes sense until you realize that Time Machine backups contain everything you need (unless you do something silly, like exclude your system files).
Once the new drive is installed and formatted, you can restore your entire system from the TM backups faster than you can copy the clone to the new internal HD. See #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. Note that you use the Snow Leopard Install disc only for the Installer on it; you don't install OSX from it.
