Need help with backup for iphone 4

hey all,
i just upgraded to IOS 5.1.1, and i was pretty mad to find out all my contacts were wiped out after i did this. so i plugged it in my computer, went into iTunes, and tried to restore from backup...well, that would have worked out fine, except it keeps restoring to an old back up from April 17...no matter what i do! i'm trying to use a backup from May 20.
So here's what i'm doing, if anyone can give me insight, by all means!
Restore from backup > iphone name: (here on the drop down list, i see my phone name and various dates including april 17, 2012, and may 20, 2012, which is the date of back up i am trying to use. below the drop down menu, it reads "Last Backed Up: 4/17/2012". but if there are more recent dates listed in the dropdown, doesn't it mean the last back up was whatever date listed in the dropdown??
at any rate, i choose the may 20 back up, and i get a pop up window that says "A more recent backup from 4/17/12 is available for the iphone..." and gives me the option of "use newer backup" or "use older backup". well even if i click the newer backup, it only uses the 4/17/12 backup, not may 20 one. if i click older backup, it gives me a backup from a LONG time ago.
so does this mean i don't actually have a backup from may 20?? i see that the file from 5/20/12 is there when i go to my mobilesync > backup folder on my computer...so i dont get what the problem is. i even tried deleting the 4/17/12 folder from there, and went back into itunes...no luck.
i dont think the upgrade in IOS shoudl be affecting this? afterall both of the backups i listed were both of the old IOS...
any help? thanks a bunch!! i would really appreciate it.

You do know that contacts are NOT part of the iTunes backup, right?  The only part of contacts that get backed up is the information needed to maintain your favorites and recent call log.
Contacts are meant to live permanently on your computer (Outlook, Address Book) or a cloud-service (Google, iCloud) for safekeeping and archival.
Sounds like you might not have been using your phone as recommended and that your contacts are gone.  That's unfortunate.  Now might be a good time to review the User Guide to refamiliarize yourself with the way you should be using your phone to minimize data loss in the future.
Good luck.

  • Need help with ringtones for iphone

    can someone just let me know were to look for the buy button for ringtones

    At the bottom of the "Create Ringtone" screen, there is the Preview button. To the right of the Preview button is the "Cancel" button and the "Buy" button. I had problems finding it also until I reset my screen resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768. It just wouldn't fit on the screen.
    My screen resolution is set at 1024 x 768 and I still cannot see the "buy" button. Quite frustrating.

  • HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5

    Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused.  I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side. 
    Good news,, I dont need a super giant system,  I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
    I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to..  So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
    I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with.   So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there.  I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
    WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW?  WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
    cs6:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
    4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
    4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
    1280x900 display
    7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
    Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Any responses would be great.  I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questions

    All the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine.  They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine.  Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
    Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
    Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
    All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later.  I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive.  It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives.  Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
    Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
    All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS.  There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also.  There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
    Notes on all the current iMacs
    iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives.  If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
    All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
    It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
    Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X.  And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two).  There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks.  If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
    For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it.  You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer.

  • Need Help With Download For Airport Express

    Ok, computer dummy here needing help with airport express. We were given airport express last night from a friend who recently purchased a newer gadget. He told us we would need to come here to download the operating system. I see lots of links to updates but no links for someone like me who has never had anything like this on my computer before. Does anyone know what link I would need to use? We have a pc with windows XP. Thanks so much for your help!

    Hello jesschambers. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) doesn't have an "operating system" per se, but it does have built-in firmware which pretty much is the same thing. In addition, in order to administer the AX, you will need the AirPort Admin Utility for your Windows PC.
    Here are the links for the latest versions of both:
    o AirPort Express Firmware Update 6.3 for Windows
    o AirPort 4.2 for Windows

  • Need help with pagination for book

    I am working on a book and need help with the pagination. I was able to make the TOC and front matter show the numbers as Roman numerals, and the body of the text as Arabic numerals, but I can't figure out how to restart the numbering sequence for the body of the text. So the front matter is numbered i-xvi, and the text is 17-681. I need the text to start with the number 1. Each subsequent chapter is a section break as well, if that makes a difference.
    Many thanks,
    J

  • Need help with coding for HTML5 Video with Flash fallback

    Hello, need help with my coding in Dreamweaver CS5.5 for HTML5 video with Flash fallback. Not sure if the coding is correct. Do I need anything else Javascipt etc?

    The reason you see a blank page is because it's trying to load the file that is pretty humungous and there is no preloader. So, you see a white screen till it complets loading.
    Also, the reason why its loading a SWF file and not any of HTML5 type video is because your doctype declaration is XHTML1.0 and not HTML5.
    Change the 1st line in your .html file from:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    to:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    Then see if your HTML5 video types load with <video> tag.

  • [Solved]Need help with backup-manager

    So I'm trying to set up backup-manager to make.. well, backups. Their wiki has been shut down thanks to spammers, and ours has no specific entry for backup-manager, so I will have to do it with its man page and the (well documented) config file. However, I still have some questions. Sorry in advance for the amount of questions and the length of the topic. I just wanted to get this clear in one go.
    First: I want to make a *full* system backup, so that I can restore my system in case of breakage without reinstalling. When I looked at creating backups in the past, I noticed some folders don't necessarily had to be backupped. What folders in / could I skip?
    Second: I chose the tarball backup format. Would it then be safe to comment out all the other variables (for tarbal-incremental/mySQL) backups?
    Third: Now there were some parts of the config file that I didn't understand. I hope you can explain some of those parts to me.
    # Number of days we have to keep an archive (Time To Live)
    export BM_ARCHIVE_TTL="5"
    That means the archive it creates will be removed after 5 days - but what if I copy it to my external hard disk? I don't think it will delete it then, so would it be safe to comment this out - or what will it do if I just keep it this way?
    # At which frequency will you build your archives?
    # You can choose either "daily" or "hourly".
    # This should match your CRON configuration.
    export BM_ARCHIVE_FREQUENCY="daily"
    I either want to make a backup when I want to, or weekly - not hourly or daily. Is this possible with backup-manager?
    # Do you want to purge only the top-level directory or all
    # directories under BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT?
    export BM_REPOSITORY_RECURSIVEPURGE="false"
    I don't understand that option. Could you explain me what it will do? Info: BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT is set to my home folder. It's the place where the archives are stored.
    # Do you want to replace duplicates by symlinks?
    # (archive-DAY is a duplicate of archive-(DAY - 1) if they
    # are both the same according to MD5 hashes).
    export BM_ARCHIVE_PURGEDUPS="true"
    Will this harm anything in my system?
    # Do you want to dereference the files pointed by symlinks ?
    # enter true or false (true can lead to huge archives, be careful).
    export BM_TARBALL_DUMPSYMLINKS="false"
    This would 'destroy' all symlinks, no? I'm going to keep this at false, but I would like to know.

    Tried to do a selective upgrade & broke something this morning so I tried restoring my CompleteRaid0 backup, worked like a charm.
    This is the latest backup script I'm using:
    #!/bin/sh
    # Little script to tar up the important root folders.
    # To untar, use:
    # tar -xvpzf /path/to/backup/<date>-backup.tar.gz -C </path/to/root>
    echo "Do you want to clear pacman's cache before tarring up the root folder? This will save time in both the tar- and untar process."
    echo -n "(y|N) > "
    read a
    if [[ "$a" = "n" ]] || [[ "$a" = "N" ]] || [[ "$a" = "" ]]; then
    echo "Pacman's cache will not be cleared."
    else
    echo "Pacman's cache will be cleared now, please wait..."
    pacman -Scc --noconfirm
    echo "Pacman's cache succesfully cleared. Continuing now..."
    sleep 2s
    fi
    DATE=`date +%m%d-%H%M%S`
    CB=CompleteRaid0-$DATE.tar.gz
    NB=FreshInstall-$DATE.tar.gz
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    echo "Proceeding with Fresh Install backup $NB."
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    sleep 5
    cd /
    tar -cvpzf $NB --one-file-system \
    /boot \
    --exclude=/$NB \
    --exclude=/dev \
    --exclude=/etc/fstab \
    --exclude=/home \
    --exclude=/lost+found \
    --exclude=/media \
    --exclude=/mnt \
    --exclude=/proc \
    --exclude=/root \
    --exclude=/sys \
    --exclude=/tmp \
    mv $NB /home/chuck/Backups/
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    echo "Sleeping for 10 seconds."
    echo "Proceeding with complete backup $CB."
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    sleep 5
    tar -cvpzf $CB --one-file-system \
    /boot \
    --exclude=/$CB \
    --exclude=/tmp \
    --exclude=/mnt \
    mv $CB /home/chuck/Backups/
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    echo "Backups Complete"
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    sleep 10
    exit 0
    Restored it with this:
    #!/bin/sh
    # To untar, use:
    # tar -xvpzf /path/to/backup/<date>-backup.tar.gz -C </path/to/root>
    tar -xvpzf /home/chuck/Backups/now.tar.gz -C /
    mkdir /proc \
    /lost+found \
    /sys \
    /mnt \
    /media \
    /mnt/bind/Downloads \
    /mnt/bind/Pictures \
    /mnt/bind/Maintenance \
    /mnt/bind/Music \
    /mnt/bind/Backups
    exit 0
    Of course the directories already existed so that part was unnecessary & only needed if I had restored onto a fresh installation.

  • Need help with backup and clean install

    Need Assistance with G5
    Background
    I'm an inexperienced Mac user with a G5, twin 2.0 gig processors and 1.5
    gig ram. The OS is v10.3.6. It is the latest OS that will not slow down
    internet (Safari/Mail) applications. Anything newer has really slowed internet applications down big time.
    Current Problem
    I've probably messed up my hard drive by switching back and forth
    (archive/install) from newer to present OS. I now have corrupted data and
    while my Mac is useable, several things do not work (disk utility, printing
    and possibly more). I have a mixture of new and older versions of
    these applications/utilities in my OS.
    Going Forward
    I believe I need to wipe out my hard drive and do a clean install. I also have a Mac mini which I can use (I believe) for backup via firewire.
    Backup
    Is everything I need to backup in the "User" folder? My spouse and I have
    separate accounts and a shared account on the same Mac, with a total of 8.5 gig of data, mostly photo's and music. We want to save that and the usual preferences and favorites/bookmarks/addresses/email, etc. It would be nice if all I had to do was drag the user folder into the target drive.
    I'd appreciate any assistance. I have more questions which I'll get to later, but I need to start somewhere.
    Thanks all
    Mac G5    

    Backing up your Users folder will save everything in all the accounts on the computer including pictures, music, preferences, etc. as long as they were kept in that folder.
    If you have File Vault turned on you should turn it off. The "correct" procedure for transferring to your Mac Mini is as follows:
    1. Turn both computers off. Connect them together with a Firewire cable.
    2. Boot the G5 into Target Disk Mode.
    3. Then boot the Mac Mini normally. The G5's hard drive should be present on the Mini's Desktop.
    4. Create a new folder on the Mini and name it something appropriate like G5 User Backup. Drag the Users folder on the G5 into this new folder on the Mini.
    After the transfer completes you should verify that everything has been transferred and is there in the folder.
    5. Drag the G5's hard drive icon from the Desktop to the Trash or CTRL-click on its icon and select Eject from the contextual menu.
    6. Shutdown the G5 and remove the Firewire cable connecting the two computers.
    You can now proceed to fix the G5. Because you are planning to erase the hard drive I would like to suggest you do an extended format to prep the hard drive properly for your restoration:
    1. Boot from your Panther Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    You can then quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Now proceed to reinstall OS X. Be sure you set up your accounts with the exact same usernames and passwords as you used before.
    Once you have completed your reinstallation on the G5 you can restore your Users folder from the Mac Mini.
    1. Shut down both computers. Connect them with a Firewire cable.
    2. Boot the G5 into Target Disk Mode.
    3. Boot the Mac Mini normally. G5's hard drive should appear on the Mini's Desktop.
    4. Open a Finder window on the G5's hard drive and drag the Users folder to the Trash (don't delete yet.)
    5. Now copy the saved Users folder from the Mac Mini to the G5 (only the Users folder, not the folder in which you stored it.)
    6. Eject the G5's hard drive from the Mini's Desktop and shut down the G5.
    7. Disconnect the Firewire cable.
    Now restart the G5. If all worked well it should start up normally and you should find everything normal in your accounts.
    There is one potential problem in all the above. All your account preferences are contained in the Users folder. If you have any corrupted preferences, they will still be corrupted and may continue to cause problems. If that's the case you may need to trash the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder's contents. Hopefully, this won't be the case, but you should be aware of the possibility.
    If eveything is working normally you can empty the Trash and delete the contents. Same on the Mac Mini.

    i have to apologize to jittei for the misunderstand i do not know which defination of terms is for which line of code but i know what they do, to solve the problem i have actually made another class in the workspace file called students and now all the bottons work, all i have to do now is properly arrange and put in some additional lines of code and it will be completed. teacher gave me the idea of putting in a new class to help in calling codes from other subclasses in the main program. ah well guess non of you could think of that thanks for the help-ish and hope yall will atleast try to be nice to new people that come in the room. the new coding is:
    of course all the commented out lines are not being used in the program anymore but just there till i have the program working with everything in it runs and performs the actions required now though ^_^

  • Need help with LikeFilter for querying the keyset instead of value

    Hi,
    I'm looking for help with the LikeFilter.
    I need to query the cache to get all entries with key starting with a particular string.
    I could see samples using LikeFilter for querying the values in the cache but not the keyset.
    Can someone help?
    E.g:
    Cache Entries:
    abc123 - value1
    abc234 - value2
    bcd123 - value3
    I want to get all entries with key starting with 'abc'.
    thanks,
    rama.

    NJ, thanks for the quick reply.
    I tried something similar (as below) but this code gives me 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/tangosol/util/ValueExtractor'.
    KeyExtractor extractor = new KeyExtractor("getKey");
    Filter filter = new LikeFilter(extractor, id+":%",'-',false);
    -rama.

  • Need help with backup files made by HP Recovery.

    So in 2011 I had made a post about a DV9 series HP laptop I had that I felt needed a harddrive. Well the laptop has been sold to a friend of mine and he has since fixed the issue it had. My curent deboggle is trying to deal with the 36GB of data it backed up onto an external USB powered harddrive. The information was saved from a system that ran Windows VISTA, on that same DV9 Pavilion. I have a new laptop and it's a Pavilion DV6 running windows 7. Is there some sort of 3rd party application or an uncommon HP utility that can open, run or modify. Specificaly I need to some files but not all, but if my only option is to extract all then that would be fine also. There is an executible in the backup folder but it doesn't extract anything it just locks up. 
    For the TLR portion, need to access backup files made on an older HP laptop with windows vista to a newer HP latop running windows 7.

    Terribly sorry for the post, I should have researched more before posting. I found the answer to my issue in another thread here on the HP forums! Thanks so much!!
