  • How can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data

    how can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data. unfortunately i have deleted few of my old photos and restored them from my old backup. i got the deleted photos but lost my recent data and photos. how can i get those too.

    You cannot. However, if your back up is through iTunes on your computer and you do an internet search for something like "iPhone BackUpExtractor", I believe there is software that will help you access the SQL database that is your back up. You may be able to pull out what you need.
    Once you restore from a back up, any data that was on the phone is gone.

  • I need to restore old messages approx 6 months ago

    I am in a situation where I need to restore some very old text messages for legal reasons as prooof of correspondance, I am not sure how to do that.

    Do you have a backup of the phone that was made when the messages were present? If so, you need to restore that backup to the phone. If not, then you're out of luck. There is no place to restore them from.

    Hi, I hope this question won't seem too basic but if I want to use a new larger external drive for my time machine backups, will it do a new full backup the first time I plug it in and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?

    Yes, it will do a full backup.
    and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?
    Only if you want to be able to go back in time to those previous Time Machine backups.  When you plug in the new larger external drive, you will only be able to go back as far as the first day you plugged it in and ran the first Time Machine backup on it.

  • I need to restore my backup

    I need to restore my backup but I cant because I have an ecryption password on it that I do not remember setting up and i have tried iPhone Backup Unlocker and also all passwords that I remember. I can not delete the backup like recomended. so what do i do? I have absolutly no reculation of setting up a password for it. please please please HELP!!!

    Have you tried your iTunes/Apple ID password. At times, this can be the default used for a backup encryption. Unfortunately, unless you know the password, there is no way to access this information from another source. Without the password, the backup is of no use and cannot be used to restore from.

  • HT1766 can you restore from a older\previous backup? My last restore point is today at 12:31 and I need to restore a backup done last week. Can i do this?

    Hi Xkandrux
    Do you mean if I go to edit-preference-device and delete all the recent backup except the older backup I want then it will appear when I select "Restore backup " ?

  • Help! I need to restore my backup from my computer to  my iphone, on the iphone screen the date I want to restore my backup from doesn't show up, how do I fix this?

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information on how to restore from an iTunes backup.

  • I need to restore the backup but my AppleID and password is not working. The message says "The password you entered to unlock your iPhone was incorrect." I know I am using the right password associated with my Apple ID.

    I need to restore the backup to my iphone 3gs but the password associated with my Apple ID. It says the password I entered is not correct. Should i be putting in my Apple ID password or would it be a different password to unlock the backup.

    I believe it is asking for the passcode you use for the screen lock on the phone.

  • Restoring old Backups?

    I need to restore some backups on DVD's done with the Backup program.
    All I see in Leopard is TimeMachine.
    How do I restore Backups without Backup?
    Will TimeMachine find and restore a Backup?

    You should be able to just use Backup to restore data into your new Leopard system. If it's not in the Applications folder (or Utilities), then you can grab it off your iDisk in the Software folder.

    This is what is backed up
    iTunes will back up the following information
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    App Store Application data including in-app purchases (except the Application itself, its tmp and Caches folder).
    Application settings, preferences, and data, including documents.
    Autofill for webpages.
    CalDAV and subscribed calendar accounts.
    Calendar accounts.
    Calendar events.
    Call history.
    Camera Roll (Photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken. Videos greater than 2 GB are backed up with iOS 4.0 and later.)
    Note: For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
    Game Center account.
    Home screen arrangement.
    In-app purchases.
    Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)
    List of External Sync Sources (MobileMe, Exchange ActiveSync).
    Location service preferences for apps and websites you have allowed to use your location.
    Mail accounts (mail messages are not backed up).
    Installed Profiles. When restoring a backup to a different device, installed configuration profiles are not restored (such as accounts, restrictions, or anything which can be specified through an installed profile.) Any accounts or settings that are not associated with an installed profile will still be restored.
    Map bookmarks, recent searches, and the current location displayed in Maps.
    Microsoft Exchange account configurations.
    Network settings (saved Wi-Fi hotspots, VPN settings, network preferences).
    Nike + iPod saved workouts and settings.
    Notes.
    Offline web application cache/database.
    Paired Bluetooth devices (which can only be used if restored to the same phone that did the backup).
    Safari bookmarks, cookies, history, offline data, and currently open pages.
    Saved suggestion corrections (these are saved automatically as you reject suggested corrections).
    Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).
    Trusted hosts that have certificates that cannot be verified.
    Voice memos.
    Voicemail token. (This is not the voicemail password, but is used for validation when connecting. This is only restored to a phone with the same phone number on the SIM card).
    Wallpapers.
    Web clips.
    YouTube bookmarks and history.
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
    You will see that contacts are backed up

  • Restoring old backup on new computer with new phone

    I wasn't prepared, but I backup up my wife's iPhone 4 on my laptop and then we went out to get her the iPhone 5. Came home, plugged in the new phone to restore, but said I needed the latest version of iTunes (11.0.1). But I can't download the new iTunes because I'm running 10.5.8 on this antique iBook.
    So I copied my backups to a hard drive, then transferred them to my work laptop (which is running 10.7.3) and downloaded the new version of iTunes.
    So where do I want to put the old backup so that iTunes will recoginize it? The "RESTORE BACKUP" button is currently grayed out.
    Also, I've never had any isses in the past, so I've never had to restore. Is there anything else I should be aware of?
    My wife is about to kill me over this little deal. Help please.

    Hey mate... well I never use migration assistant cos i always like to have a totally new system on the new computers without the quirks of the last one.
    Can you use migration assistant once you JUST to get hold of the Address Book or do you also need to import a whole bunch of other stuff... I just don't know cos I have never used it.
    Thanks heaps,

  • I need to restore old archives in primary, so that I could apply in standby

    Hi All,

    So need to restore primary Ist with these missing logs, Please let me know how would i go about it.

    Log Gap is :- 135098-138524 (~3427 logs)You choose option of ROLLFORWARD.. Hmm is it really necessary ?
    May be you have problem with only archive *135098* , which is not transferred, even though that archive not transferred the next archives of them will be transferred,
    So if you just restore only missing archives(very less) that should be fine.
    If you are sure that above all archives are not transferred then you better to go with RollForward.
    Already you did, still check this link might helpful. http://www.oracle-ckpt.com/rman-incremental-backups-to-roll-forward-a-physical-standby-database-2/

  • I need to restore my backup but can't remember my previous password.  What should I do?

    Hello,
    I was using a different computer and accidentaly erased all my info on the phone (iphone 4).  I'm trying to restore the backup but it's asking for a code that I had used previously and unfortunately can't remember.  I tried few things that i read online but no luck.  One of them was to extract the backup but the file where i can see the code is in plist and I cant read anything in it.  I did try to convert it but no luck. 
    Can someone please help me with this?  I could be doing smth wrong but i wouldn't know  

    Hey Mon_Cherie,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you have some questions pertaining to iTunes encrypted backups. The following article may help to answer these questions:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    iTunes and encrypted backups
    You can protect your backup with a passcode using the Encrypt Backup option in the Summary pane. Encrypting your backup will back up your Keychain. This way, email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some applications will be remembered when you transfer to a new device. Learn how to create and restore from a backup.
    When your backup is encrypted, you'll need to enter the password when enabling or disabling encryption or when restoring from this backup.
    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 choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
