Non-recurring calendar entries did not restore from backup

I synch contacts and calendar from PC, music and video from Mac. In the past, when I synced a new iphone for the first time, the backup on Itunes on my Mac automatically restored all contacts and calendar entries onto the new iPhone. Today, however, when I did the maiden sync on new 3GS (old iphone was first generation), my contacts and settings seem to have generally been restored, but none of my calendar entries made it over except for a few repeat calendar entries. I'm assuming I will pick up the missing calendar entries when I do my first sync to PC, but does anyone have a theory as to why this happened? Shouldn't all contacts and calendar entries be restored from the backup on the Mac, even though I do not keep my contacts and calendar on the Mac? Thanks for the help.

Follow up to my post -- I now realize that the contacts that got restored to my 3GS are in fact way outdated -- so it appears that the backup from which I restored, while it seems to have had current settings, had very outdated contacts and calendar. It may be that at one time the backup process captured contacts and calendar but no longer does, which I guess means the user has to sync to the computer where he syncs contacts and calendar to get current data onto the iphone (just like I did for music). This may sound obvious to most people, but bear in mind that my 3GS got a list of contacts (and some calendar entries) from SOMEWHERE when I synced to my Mac, even though my Mac has no such data (it is on my PC in Outlook).

When I updated by iphone with IOS7, my calendar entries did not follow the icloud. I am only showing pre set calendar entries for the year?

When I updated by iphone with IOS7, my calendar entries did not follow the icloud. I am only showing pre set calendar entries for the year and lost all other calendar entrie and it will not take any new entries. They show up in my outlook, but not on my iphone, which they did before I updated my software to the new i0s7

Before syncing, select each calendar on your Mac and back it up by going to File>Export>Export. If anything goes missing, you can use these to restore your calendars.
Have you tried simply force closing the calendar app on your iPhone? To do this, double-tap the home button, locate the calendar app, then swipe up on the image above the app icloud to close it and tap the home bottom. Then test your calendar again.

I just upgraded to the 5s but the sales lady did not restore from my last backup with my 4s. How do I get my pictures and settings restored?

I just upgraded to the 5s but the sales lady did not restore from my last backup with my 4s. How do I get my pictures and settings restored? I cannot seem to get it to give me that option. Can anyone tell me what to do? Thanks so much!

If the phone has already been set up, you will need to go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to be able to go through the setup again. This time use Restore from Backup.
This will walk you through the setup screens:

I did a restore from backup and lost all of my picture and videos from last night. Can anyone please tell me how to get them back from the cloud?

I did a restore from backup this morning. After it completed the restore I lost all of my pics and videos from Saturday. Can anyone assist in retrieving my files from iCloud? Thank you.

Have you not backed up or transferred your movies to your computer at any point before you dropped your old iPad?
If the only copy of these movies was on the old iPad, and that iPad is now gone, then so are the movies that were on it.

I just got a new iPhone 6 but when I did the restore from backup of my old iPhone 4; none of my pictures were there and almost all of my calendar was missing. Can anyone help?

Hi, I just bought an iPhone 6, 64GB and had everything ready to do the "restore from backup" from my old iPhone 4 8GB. It kept stopping and I'd have to start over from the beginning. When I finally got it to do something with the help of my provider(who had walked me thru from the beginning anyway); I figured I was all set. Then I went to see my pics to use one for my lock screen and there were NO PICTURES AT ALL and only part of my calendar came over. I'm missing a lot of future appointments that I know are set up. I made sure not to wipe out my old one yet; as I will have to since I did the trade in plan; so I still have my old iPhone 4 and it has everything in it, in addition to having the backup on two computers in the house.
I also tried syncing it after the restore since things were missing, but that didn't work either.
I would appreciate any help so I can use my phone and get going with it.
Thanks!

Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

HT3576 How can I get rid of "Connect to itunes to use push notifications" pop-ups. I just had to replace my iPhone 5 and when I did a restore from backup, most of my apps will not let me in becuase I cannot get past the"connect to itunes..." message.

My iPhone 5 was distroyed so I replaced it with a new iPhone 5 yesterday. I did a restore from a backup that i had performed a week ago. When I tried to use the phone several of my apps would not let me in becuase they continually gave me a popup message "Connect to Itunes to use push notifications". I click ok and the popup comes back. I have shut my phone off several times. I have complete closed the apps several times. I have even deleted the apps from my phone and reinstalled. All to no avail. Please help - does anyone know how to fix this?

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

Music not restoring from backup during new iPhone 5 setup

Quick question. Recently puchased iPhone5 and need to transfer everything from old iPhone4. I've performed a manual backup in iTunes. When connecting the new phone and selecting restore from backup, it restores everything but the music and the playlists. I have no idea why. This process worked with my phone, but when it comes to my wifes the music never restores. The only difference between the 2 devices is that she likes to manully manage her music, so the sync only checked items and the sync music boxes are unchecked. I don't see why this would prevent the music from being backed up though. Any suggestions?

Instead of manually managing the music on your iPhone, manually manage the contents of a playlist and auto-sync to that playlist. You're doing the same thing, just managing a playlist instead of your phone. The beauty of this is that you never lose track of what you manually chose to sync to your iPhone.
Oh that's what I do now, lol. I just (naively) assumed that my phone was doing that for me, so to speak. When I first put music on my phone (manually) I assumed that if I manually synced my music, the information relating thereto would be included in my backup data. If I had known it wasn't, I would have dumped all my songs into an "iPhone" playlist and then copied that playlist to my phone. Problem solved. I just didn't know that at the time.
iTunes, and Apple in general, does so many good things that this clearly isn't a huge complaint. But it strikes me that most people who manually selected their "iPhone" music probably don't want to "lose" that carefully selected music when they upgrade their phone. And maybe I'm an idiot but it took me a little digging to wind up here to find out why my music hadn't transferred, and how to go about "rectifying" it (ie you bloody can't, really, you just start anew).
Maybe I'm asking too much, but I find it strange that there isn't an import feature on the iPhone - provided the corresponding file is found on the iTunes being used. Especially since it's the same computer the phone is synced to, to begin with. A) I'm giving music to myself, B) I'm not even giving myself music, because I already have the corresponding music in iTunes, so there's clearly no threat of file-sharing. Barring that, maybe a warning when you choose to manually sync music to your phone. (Apologies to Apple if I'm wrong, but I don't remember seeing one.)
Again, this clearly didn't ruin my life, but everything on my phone synced seamlessly except my music. It only took me 15 minutes or so to recreate my iPhone playlist, but it took me a good hour to figure out why I had to (and how to avoid having to in the future). It was a strange hiccup from a company that pretty much always makes my life easier (unless I need to run Flash).
In the end I got to read a bunch of Allan's posts, which did provide some entertainment

IPhone not restoring from backup

When I try to restore my not jailbroken iphone 4 from a backup on itunes, it completes about 70% of it and then stops. The progress bar stops moving, and I have left it overnight and when I come back it hasn't progressed at all. I have tried it multiple times from multiple backups done on different dates. What should I do?

Sorry, there is no way to preserve your data. The restore from backup process is all or nothing.

Optonline emails not restored from backup

After restoring new ip4 from backup i noticed my optonline emails (inbox and sent) were not restored. My yahoo emails (inbox and sent) were fine. Anyone with an optonline account lose their info? btw i did put my optonline password in settings for incoming and outgoing and i did test it and it works fine going forward, just lost all old emails.

I did not hear about other having these issues... They way you backed up your data should have worked! The only thing I could think about why it did not work, is that you presses sync instead of Backup my iPhone. An therefore the Backup was not fully done (like your mac only asks you to import/save applications from your iPhone to your iTunes library if you hit Back up... if you hit sync it will not ask you.)
I guess you do not want to use iCloud for your Keychain because of security reasons... well there are 3rd party solutions like 1 Password that let you sync your password over Wifi... so your data never gets stored on a server at apple or anywhere else in a cloud. But it is quite expensive to buy 1 Password for your mac and your iPhone.

In case you do not remember all your passwords this might help, but i never tried it myself:

IPhone will not restore from backup after upgrading to iOS4

Hey guys,
I updated to iOS4 just fine on my iPhone 3G 16gb model. Unfortunately, what occurred after that is what's giving me a headache. Whenever I try to restore my iPhone from the backup I created, my laptop keeps freezing when it hits about 8-10% completion. It has no major problems with freezing or locking up, and I'm pretty sure that my iTunes is the problem. My phone will now no longer play my music, nor will it even display half of my custom ringtones(even though they appear on my ringtones list under my iPhone in iTunes), nor will it display any of the songs that I purchased through iTunes on my phone recently.
Most of the other features are working fine, though I have not tested everything. I still receive text messages, phone calls, and can access the internet, so it works how I absolutely need it to, but this is becoming an extremely frustrating ordeal. Please let me know if anyone has experienced something similar or knows of a solution.
Thanks!

I can't find anything specific on that error code, but this Apple article may give you some ideas on how to fix it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
You may have to "Restore as New" if you cannot get it to restore from a backup. You will lose your game data but that is about the extent of the effect.

Photos not restored from backup?!

I backed up my iphone 4 and then restored it to original settings. When I tried to restore from my back up on itunes my music and photos were gone. I do not know what to do, any help? If I took the phone to an apple store would they be able to fix it? or if i took it to my carrier, I have insurance for my phone but im not sure if they cover restoring photots, etc. Any help would be great.

Folder not Restoring from Backup

Anyone have an issue when they have had to restore their phone that they don't get their folders back? The apps just get scattered all over the home pages and I have to re-create my folders on my iphone. Same has happened for my wife on the same PC. Can't find a setting that controls folders.

You might ask in the iphone forums. More folks are likely to have one...I'm guessing. I just have a nano.

Upgraded to 5.0, restored from backup and see no apps

I decided today to upgrade to iOS 5.0. I first transferred the apps, did a backup and went ahead and told it to upgrade. After the process, I noticed I had a bareboned iPad. Just the stock apps and none of mine. I then did a restore from backup and it's the same situation.
Why didn't the restore bring back the apps?
Now I have to download them agian from the AppStore

All apps on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer - along with all other iTunes content selected to be transferred to your iPhone. iTunes content is not included with your iPhone's backup including 3rd party apps. After downloading an app with your iPhone, the app should be copied to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so - the same after purchasing music with your iPhone.
You can re-download an app with iTunes on your computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

Used iTunes to restore from backup and the Apple ID that shows up is a very old one

I have an iPhone 4s. I recently lost all of my contacts for some mysterious reason. I personally think it's a conspiracy by Apple to force me to upgrade to a new phone. Anyway, I hooked my phone up to my computer (Windows 7) and from iTunes I went to Devices, Restore from Backup. I know that within the last few weeks that I backed it up onto iTunes but I cannot figure out from the newest iTunes how to find it. So I restored the backup but it backed up from November of 2012 (I am only assuming this because the most recent pictures that are in phone are from that date). It did restore my contacts from 2012 but there are no recent contacts in there plus I lost all my photos from November 2012 on. Which is no big deal. My problem is that the Apple ID that is showing up is from a very old account. The e-mail address is no longer even valid.I tried to delete iCloud from my phone so that I could put it back on with my new Apple ID but I cannot remember the password of my old id. When I go to reset my password for my old id and the security questions come up the first thing it asks for is my date of birth. When I put my date of birth in it says:
The authentication information provided does not match our records. Please verify your personal information and try again.
I know that I did not enter the wrong birth date when I first set up that account. So now I am stuck because I cannot get any further without that date of birth. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP. PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
PS-Not sure if this matters but I also upgraded to iOS 8 directly before I did the Restore From Backup.

Hello risenhauer,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To reset your Apple ID password without knowing your security questions or have access to the email account, you will need to contact Apple Account Security in your country. Links to contact can be found in the article below.
