  • HT1766 Where is my old backup stored? Because of auto backup, I can't see any of my older ones and with new ios erased all my data and it kept backing up the "new" setting

    I plugged in my iphone and then itunes says my iOS was old and need update. Hence I update it to 7 where it erased all my data to start with, and it was actually backed up before it was erased.
    After the new iOS was installed, it just couldn't restore the old data and instead it kept auto back up the new setting.  I called apple help line and the guy said whatever is on the itunes list is all there is. But because of the auto backup, the whole list is full of new backups without my old stuff. Is there anyone who can tell me whether these files are overridden or instead just not showing on itunes, and where can I find it?
    Thanks lots

    When you restore a device, a new backup is created and the old backup has a date added to the backup name.
    Look in iTunes prefs > Devices.
    The current backup will not have a date in the name. It will show the date on right side.

  • Will the new update erase all my iPad2 content

    Was just on the phone to the Support Express line ( re a problem that this forum had already solved for me) the guy said I needed to install the update but added its would erase all the content on my iPad. Have only had the ipad2 for 2 weeks and just got it loaded with the stuff I need (not all through iTunes) so would really rather not have to start from scratch. Does anyone know if this is true?

    Yes, that's correct. You need to sync your iPad first to create a current backup. Note that anything you've downloaded to the iPad that's not in iTunes will be lost. Syncing is one way - iTunes to iPad. See
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
    When you update iOS your device is first completely erased. Then the new iOS is installed. You will then be asked if you wish to restore as new or from a backup. If you choose the backup then everything that was most recently synced with iTunes will be restored.

  • Will updating my ipod touch with the new update erase all my pictures/music/apps?

    I want to get the new update, but I have music on my ipod from other people's computers. Is updating my ipod going to erase everything on it and start all over?

    The update itself will not affect your music. However, anytime you do a major update like this one there is a risk that there could be other issues that would require you to restore your device (not likely, but possible). Therefore, you should back up your device before you do the upgrade.
    Back it up to iTunes on a computer, or to iCloud. Then do the upgrade to iOS 7.
    That way, if you do have an issue that requires a restore, you can restore it to the backup you created.

  • How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

    I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
    How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
    Thank you

    Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
    You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

  • My iOS remains the same as whats inside my iPhone I bought it 18months ago, which is version 4.2.1, I am told by an Apple shop that its too old to do a proper update, unless all my data will have to be erased !! is this true ?  if so, how to get round it

    Be sure to do a backup before updating as protection. Photos should
    be synced with your computer, music should be in iTunes, documents
    should be backed up on your computer as should contacts in whatever
    program you use on your computer. You should already have backups
    of your important information to prevent loss in case of theft, crash,
    physical damage. The question is not if your hard drive will crash but
    when, and you iPhone is not a backup device nor fit for the only
    source of any document, picture, music, movie, contact or otherwise
    irreplaceable information.

  • I have a new mac book, I have loaded all my old data on it via time machine. I want to now erase all that data so it is back to a new data free computer. it has yosemite, how do I remove all the data???

    I want to erase all the data I loaded onto my new macbook pro yosemite. I want to have it cleaned of all the data photos etc I have loaded so it is like a new computer again. I already have all this data on a hard drive so I don't need to back the data up.???

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Will the new ipod software update erase all of the music off my ipod??

    will the new ipod software update erase all of the music off my ipod??

    Unless you plan to restore it, if all you are doing is updating the firmware then nothing will be erased from your iPod. Even if it was you just have to reload from iTunes or your back up.

    I think those pics are gone. Sorry we cant help more getting them back. I would get a box account to sync to cloud so this cant happen again.
    I suspect playbook was not on fully when connected to PC and it suggested an update and showed a warning that it will erase all data that you might have over looked.

  • Will buying mountain lion erase all my data?

    I am quite interested in updating to Mountain Lion, as I have a very outdated Mac. However, I am worried that doing so will erase all my data. Also, will updating make my mac run faster? It has been working much slower recently. Its only three years old, 10.6.8. Please help!

    In addition to BT's comments:
    The OS X update process will stomp on your /Applications, but not on the content in /Users, which is where your login directory resides. Good backup habits are sound advice.
    Even if your three-year old Mac complies with the minimum supported hardware specs, it is very unlikely that a larger, more resource hungry Mountain Lion will give you more features and run faster on your hardware.
    If you wish to stay current with OS X releases, at some point, you will need to step up to a new or refurbished hardware purchase decision.

  • How can I erase all personal data from an e72?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    My one week old e72 came with a scratch under the glass. I have been a bit worried that any pressure on the phone in the future might lead the screen to crack, so to be on the safe side I am having the handset replaced straight away by my mobile network. 
    I am expecting a doorstep exchange in the morning, and they will collect the old phone all boxed up and provide a new sealed e72 in the box. 
    So, I need to delete all my information from the handset and memory card. So far I have formatted the memory card and done a factory reset from the phone menu, then a factory reset as detailed in another thread I found on here (* +3 + call). 
    But this hasn't removed my email accounts, text message inbox or calendar appointments from the phone, or removed applications that I installed. 
    Is there a simple way to erase all private data, as I really don't want the handset going back with all my work and private details on there.
    Solved!

    Yep, make sure it gets the most recent update when you get it (guide): http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
    I would recommend to use memorycard as messagememory. You fixe that in messaging->options->settings->other.
    Try to install all 3rd party apps on memorycard and stay away from awkward themes
    Clear the privacy data within the browser once in a while (if you surf a lot).
    As much free space on the phone memory seems to be a good thing. I had the E71, and E72 and never had better phones with better buildquality. The E72 is fast too.
    If you concider this thread as Solved, set it as solved and set the post you felt answered your questions as solution. Enjoy your new device!

  • How do I erase all my data from my iPad mini?

    I purchased a new Ipad mini yesterday.  I want to return it but first would like to erase all my data entered.  The only information I found on how to do this requires that one go to settings>general>reset>erase all data.  I tried this; however, my mini has no reset option in settings>general.  Any suggestions?

    On an iPad Mini the charger port is very small, the cable should look like this:
    The larger plug goes to the charger brick.  The smaller thinner plug goes into the iPad's port, labeled Lightning Connector in the picture below.

  • Installing iOS 5 erases all previous data

    Installation of iOS 5 erased all previous data on my iPad. Help! Prior to iCloud being in the picture, where were all my photos and documents backed up?
    I am attempting to locate the files which vanished upon updating to iOS 5 - hundreds of pdf files, thousands of uploaded photos, screen shots, saved photos from web, ALL GONE. So were all my acquired apps, although those have been replaced - now I can begin or attempt to reconstitute the complex folder structure (notes, notes 2, notes 3, etc.) which grew over the last few iOS iterations, from too many apps stuffed into folders with strict limitations on contents. Tedious, but possible. Re all the photos, I'm still looking for clues: Is solid state storage similar to that on disk drives – does deleted information still reside on the drive, just not on the index?
    Also, post updating, I am continually being prompted to authorize my computer, even though it is, and my Apple ID is intermittently rejected as if invalid, this is causing syncing challenges.
    Thanks.
    Weary of chasing side effects of upgrading operating systems.

    Same for me, when install was finished all was gone, but strange enough the disk space bar was indicating 14Go other and that was exactly my content "in app" without apps, photos, video and music. So this data was not accessible due to missing apps and all my photo/video/music was gone.
    I had exactly the same issue last upgrade, and last time I decided to resync my media content and started to add apps one by one again, and by magic almost all the apps managed to find back their data in the 14Go "other" that was still in the IPad. But I had to redo a lot of work like Icon position, some settings, and some apps didn't restore well. Took me a very long time and effort to get back to a nominal situation.
    So this time I deciced instead to click "Restore" before doing any sync and used the backup that was generated automaticly just before the upgrade to 5.0 (so still with version 4 of ths IOS)
    The process started, the Ipad rebooted and firmware was then loaded again (still 5.0) and the 14Go data from the backup was reloaded also, and this time after this quite long step, itunes started to restore apps, music, photos and videos one by one ... was quite a very long process but at the end all was perfect, storage was back to 40 Go including my 14Go data and all photos, videos and apps, with all setting perfectly restored.
    Hope this help,
    Patrick
