Need Urgent help please? I need to restore from a previous iphone backup.

Oops, I admit it - I messed up but need help please?? I received a replacement iphone today. My broken iphone OS and my itunes had the latest software updates and I did a full backup before going to the store to get the rerplacement. However, when I got home with the replacement iphone and plugged it in, it asked if I wanted to update the OS on it. I made the mistake of saying yes. It then made a backup of the empty factory settings from the new replacement and restored from that rahter than the backup I made before going to the store. Yes I know I should have said no and just did the restore which would have resotred my previous backup that I made before going to the store. Then after everything would be allright I could have told it to update the OS.
You can slap my in the face or I will do it myslef for making such a stupid mistake. All ready did the "I should have had a V" thing to my forehead.
After seeing the restore was fromthe factory settings rather than my earlier good backup, I went into my documents and drilled down to the mobile sync backup and saw that one of the three folders (with giberish as a title) has a lot of information with the date and time I did the backup before going to the store.
Could I possibly delete the later (factory setting backup) folder and then do a restore to get my good backup onto the iphone? I didn't do that yet in fear that it might mess something else up on the iphone and I wanted to check with you experts here first for guidance and assistance, PLEASE?
I'll be anxiously awaiting any help you can give!
Thank you!!

Hopt and OneOrangeTree, Thank you both very much for replying!!
It took me a long time to get back to the dissucison group because I tried both of your suggestions which therfore had to do about 4 restores. They take quite a while (about 50 minutes each actually). Your help got me half way there and is very apprecaited! I did manage (with your excellent help) to get most of my backup put onto the replaced iphone. the photos, music, and videos didn't get put over. I think I can move those back over by making sure they are selected in the seperate tabbed screens for the iphone. However, I can't get to those screens because every time I connect the iphone now, it brings up the "set up your phone screen". The one with the "an iphone has been previously synced with this compter" setup as new phone or restore from ....
Well I did the resotre from 3 times and that page still comes up when I plug in the iphone. Yes, I did close itunes, reboot the PC, and powered off the iphone and then brouhgt it back up before connecting (all several times), but itunes still takes me to the same "setup iphone screen".
Can you help me to get it to the standard iphone screen and there I will make sure the selected items are checked and do a sync.
Please know I do appreicate your kind assistance so far and hope someone can get me the rest of the way!
The "Backup" do not store your Applications, Music, Video's. It saves your settings, your application preferences, etc.

  • URGENT-Does Erase all Data and restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup??

    Does restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup?
    I made a Icloud back up two days ago. I have text messaged and sent emails since. I haven't backed up again yet and I was wondering that if I erase my phone and back up to that Icloud Back up made two days ago, the texts and emails I have sent SINCE then will be permanently deleted? AKA they can never be found again by anyone?

    That is correct you can only get back data that was backed up.

    Please help. I need to get my imace working again asap with all my information.

    First, to the why. Shear silliness. It's a long story, but I needed to access a website that was cached to view its source code (long story) but only the version in the cache. Unfortunately, I opened that website after the important code had been removed thus removing the old cache version (it's one of those sites that saves only your most recent visit). In an effort to retrieve this information I had the not so brilliant idea to restore my computer. I didn't realize at the time that I propably could solely restore just the cache and not the entire machine. However, in my mind it should have made no difference. Just simply restoring from a backup. Afterall, thats why we backup.
    Second, how early? To a version 12 hours younger. So, everything should have been up to date.
    Here's some even newer information:
    Last night, before your reply, I was able use the command + R function on boot up again. This time I reinstalled the operating system using wifi. The computer is now working, but did not restore. During the installation I was given the option using migration assistant to use my most recent backup. I did this, following the directions given (it's pretty simple--just click when it tells you to). Despite it saying that the migration worked my computer doesn't have any of my old stuff.
    I really need to get my info back. I had thought this is why we use time machine and allow it to backup my system a billion times. Its very frustrating that this is not working.

  • How do I restore from a previously used backup volume ???

    I have just added a 1 Terrabyte (1000 GB) firewire external backup drive for Time Machine's exclusive use - - because my chock-full 250 GB drive was so full that TM was forced to delete previous backups done only a few weeks ago in order to write new backups.
    So I have now of course designated the new 1 TB drive for TM and it's working fine.
    But....??????..... if I want to search my previous 250 GB drive for something older, how do I get TM to either search both drives (new and old) automatically, or enable me to browse from one volume to another while in the TM app ???
    I can't find any explanations of how to seamlessly manage easily and in a user friendly way this ongoing issue of having multiple TM volumes - each covering different periods back in time.
    If, in order only to search it, I have to go back to the 250 GB drive and re-designate it, again, as "The" TM drive, then won't an unwanted and unneeded full backup start and potentially erase what I am looking for ? The help files seem to be silent on this issue.
    The user interface ought to have a list of current and previously used drives to you can designate which to search before initiating a search and restore operation. does it exist in hiding somewhere ?
    Has anyone written a good manual for TM ?

    Michael Bryan wrote:
    Thanks a lot. I take it that I must resist the temptation to just directly double-click on the old volume from outside the TM app, and then "drag and drop" a found document back to where I want it and that it is vital to always restore from within the TM app.
    yes, you should definitely resist that temptation. all TM backups are tagged with "everyone deny everything" ACLs. copying them via drag and drop will keep those ACLs and will cause you all kinds of issues. you should only restore them from TM interface which will remove those ACLs.

    And when you do post to the Javascript forum (you do know that Java != Javascript, right), you might want to try less of a "do my homework for me" approach. I don't know about those forums, but if they're anything like here, they'll expect more effort and more specific questions from you than just "this doesn't work, please fix it completely right now." I also doubt they'll be any more impressed with your urgency than folks here usually are.

  • Issue with shared services - Need Urgent Help please!!

    Hello Experts
    One of my customer has installed a new instance of oracle and copied all the schemas and data over to the new instance.
    Now when they bring up shared services, have lost all our provisioning. None of the projects are recognized by shared serices and gets the following error when we try to bring up a user
    'xxxxx' is not a recognized Shared Services project. Please contact your adminstrator
    Is there something we need to do to restore Shared Services to its original state?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sonu
    Edited by: 637223 on Jan 20, 2009 2:19 AM

    hi,
    I doubt that "creating a new instance of oracle and copied all the schemas and data over to the new instance" will register the project with shared service and thats why giving error. Because when you install shared service, it asks you about the database name (oracle in your case) to register with. So even if you overwrite that database by new instance it gives error.
    Have you tried the configuration utilty ? Over there you can provide the new database instanse as your database and configure your shared service. Remember that you need to do a complete configuration of shared service , analytic administration services and analytic services. After configuring, Restart the system.....it should work.
    Hope this helps!

    James

    Try unplugging the AC adapter, removing the battery, then holding the power button down for a minimum of 30 seconds.  Then plug the AC back in and try to power it up.  If it does, good.  If not, repeat the proceedure only time only plug the battery back in.  If this still doesn't work you'll need to send it in to either Toshiba or to some repair shop that has an EProm burner such as http://www.aqstech.com/ as you won't be able to fix it at home.
    And next time DO NOT FLASH FROM WITHIN WINDOWS.  NEVER, EVER, EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FLASH A BIOS UNDER WINDOWS.  Always flash a bios from an actual Dos Prompt.  The BIos File from Toshiba provides instructions inside the Archive once you decompress it on creating a Bios Flash CD (and you can use a ReWritable CD-RW so you don't waste a disk) that should be used.

  • Need urgent help please PS + Lightroom instalation

    Hi,
    I bought some days ago the Monthly pack of Photoshop and Lightroom (12,99/month)
    Before I had the trial version. A friend of mine told me to unistall ADOBE programs before buying the Photoshop and Lightroom. I did it, or better I thought I did it. When I check in the Application I found them there and when I click on the Uninstal the program pop out a window with the message "you have to download the latest version of Adobe Application Manager". I did it, but when I try to delete the old Photoshop the window pop out again and again, and it doesn't let me download and install the Adobe Creative Cloud I bought
    PLEASE PLEASE ANYONE WHO CAN TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO?

    IreneOO I would recommend you begin by completing the steps listed in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.  Once those steps are completed then please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for information on how to install the Adobe Creative applications included with your membership.

  • I need urgent help please

    I have an iPhone 4, I bought it unlocked and I'm using that plan that MetroPCS has to unlock it and what not.
    There's a sim card in there and everything.
    Yesterday I went over a friend's house and he barely has any signal but that's ok.
    I came home and iMessage was just not activating.
    I've been resetting it and restarting it and I've been trying everything. Everything.
    iMessage just WILL NOT activate. I even made another account.
    Please help me out.

    I tried most of that and it still doesn't work.
    Thing is my iPhone since it's with MetroPCS in the phone setting it says "Unknown" in phone number.
    And when I try to put in my number it says "Phone number could not be saved."
    Also iMessage was working perfectly fine.
    When I sign in with my Apple ID it STILL says waiting for activation but I can still send iMessages?
    Also my number is gereyed out but it's not checked.
    Please help.

  • 8800 Scirocco Problem - Need Urgent help please an...

    Got lots of pics and texts over the festive period and lots of those pics of my 18mth old son.
    Noticed over last few days that the phone would take ages to come on after entering the PIN CODE which it accepted. Eventually the Menu screen came on though.
    Today however the battery went so the I charged the phone as usual and then switched on . Screen lit up with NOKIA then requested my PIN CODE which i entered and this then said ACCEPTED and then the Nokia logo and music and then a lit screen and nothing. It stayed like that until eventually the screen light goes out. Then eventually it just switches off. Ive kept repeating this and pressing buttons after the Pin Code to no avail altho it will let me enter numbers on the screen but nothing else really.
    Orange have arranged a replacement tomorrow night. What can I do to retrieve the contact names and numbers and all the photos I have and texts ? I will be so devastated to lose the pics of my little boy which are irreplaceable.
    ANY HELP GRATEFULLY RECEIVED or is this a lost cause ?
    thanks
    AJ

    If the data you want is held on the fone then you may have an issue if the fone wont even boot up.
    How are you having it replaced.
    ie: Are they sending you a replacement by courier with the faulty one being picked up at the same time ? if so it is lost.
    A Nokia engineer may have been able to try and boot up the handset to try and recover the pics etc.
    Try removing the battery for a few minutes to soft reboot the handset back up.... worth a try !

  • Using LOOKUPVALUE--need urgent help please

    Hello,
    what im trying to do is grab the first date when someone bought a product. I have 2 tables. 1 where my products are registered with product ID and the other table shows when the item was bought. What im trying to do is show in the first table only the date
    where item was first bought. Im using lookupvalue and gives me an error because I have repeated itemsID  in the dates list.
    How could I only grab the first date??
    Thank you

    Power Pivot Pro and
    "The Italians" have been the richest sources for me.
    What that measure does is find the smallest value in your fact table - MIN( ... ), but this function is evaluated in a special context.
    CALCULATE() allows us to change the context that we evaluate a function in. What we're doing is changing the context so that we evaluate MIN() only on the rows in the table specified by FILTER().
    FILTER() takes a table, and then iterates row-by-row over that table, performing the logical test that we specify. It returns only those rows that have a true value for that test. The test is checking that the [itemsID] on the current row (current row in
    our iteration using FILTER()) is equal to the [itemsID] from the row of the product dimension that this whole expression (CALCULATE( MIN(...), FILTER(...))) is being evaluated for. EARLIER() says, "I know my current row refers to the current row in my
    iteration through FILTER(), but there is also a current row in the table where this calculated column is defined - give me the latter meaning of current row."

  • Need urgent help - how to call a procedure from sql returning a rowset

    Hello,
    I need to send a SQL Query from a VB application to let it execute on the oracle DB. This query needs to call a procedure/function, which returns a resultsets, so that i can to a (Where x in ( <call procedure> )). Would result in Where x in (50,100,3094).
    Is this possible in oracle, and how?
    Thanks.

    Hi Daniel,
    I had a similiar problem yesterday.
    Thanks to the nice people in this forum I was able to figured that out.
    So here is a PL/SQL Oracle 9i code for your reference.
    You can create and test it using the SQL Plus console.
    I used this stored procedure in my VB .NET and worked fine!
    I am enclosing the VB code in this reply as well.
    One last note: in order to test it in the VS .NET, don't forget to download the Oracle ODP driver for .NET
    Good luck!
