Original back up data in different location

My wife backed her iphone up for the first time on a pc I already use for my iphone. Forgot to untick box syncing all contacts with outlook and therefore has lost pretty much all her phone numbers. I presume they're all in the back up file, but when I go to C:\....\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup the original back up file is not there (all later times when we synced again). After a bit of digging I've found a folder C:\....\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Backups\329440RZY7H\Structured which has loads of MDINFO and MDDATA files which were created at the time of the original backup.
I may be clutching at straws, but is this the original back up data that would contain all of the old phone numbers? If so how do I get the information to the correct location for iTunes to recognise it when I go to the Restore from back up option in Itunes?
Any advise greatfully received, Phil

Welcome to the discussions,
Every backup you make replaces the old one, so if you synced after that, your contact info is gone as well, because at that time your contacts were already damaged.
The only time a backup is not replaced is when it was used to restore your ipod, this backup will also show a time stamp.
All available backups are listed in iTunes/settings/devices. More info about backups, their content, location on your computer and much more can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • Why does PSE 10 Organizer jumble up photos on the same date from different locations ?

    I have PSE 10 installed on a PC with Windows 7. My camera is a Nikon D90 using a Sandisk 8 gb SD card. When I take photos at different locations on the same date and download them into the Organizer , instead of keeping the photos from the different locations together by location, it jumbles them all up. It does not keep them in order by time taken from first to last for that day , it just mixes them all up in random order. Why ?

    Hi Lyndy,
    When you use Albums and Keyword Tags, you aren't moving the images around (they stay in their folders) - you just look at them differently.
    What you can try is this:-
    1) select one of your folders in folder view so that it displays all of those images in filename order
    2) click on the instant album button (to the top right of the thumbnails)
    This will generate an album with the same name as the folder
    3) Now switch to Thumbnail view
    4) click on the new albumb name on the right side
    Now, all the images should be in date/time order - you may have adjust the options
    The real power of the Keywrd Tags is the many different ways you can look at the images.
    If you have a Keyword Tag structure like this:-
    Places
         Scotland
                Holyrood
                Britania
    Then if you assign the Holyrood and britania tags to the appropiate photos, there are various ways of viewing the photos.
    Selecting just Holyrood would show only the Holyrood ones
    Selecting Scotland would show both Holyrood and Britania ones.
    The only limit seems to be your own imagination
    I hope that gives you ideas rather than adding confusion

  • The way to synchronize data between different locations

    Hi all,
       Pls to guide for me the way to synchronize data between difference locations with SQL server 2000, SBO 2005A. Thanks !!!

    Hi Andy,
    As Ibai already replied in the SAP Business One Forum there are several options.
    If you want to use "SAP Business One Integration..." you may have to do quite some work to connect two SAP Business One systems ASFAIK.
    This hasn't been in focus for the first release of this integration platform (which is currently in Ramp-Up), but Integration to SAP R/3 / mySAP...
    Maybe some colleague - or partner developer who eventually already worked on that knows better?

  • Moving already backed-up data to different drive

    Hi all -
    I have about 700gb of videos that I want to move off my iMac's internal hard drive onto an external drive. The videos have already been backed up with Time Machine.
    After I move the videos to the external drive, I want to continue backups on that data, but don't want to create a duplicate backup of the data that's already there. What's the best way to do this? I'd prefer not deleting the backups so I can keep the history, but not sure I can avoid that.
    The only thing I can think of is to move the videos to the external drive, then create a link from the original location to the new location on the external drive so the original directory structure is intact. Will Time Machine see that as being in a new location and still do a full backup when it first sees it?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, klaus1! I looked briefly at the SyncTwoFolders link you posted, and it definitely sounds like something I could use.
    A couple follow-ups just to make sure I'm following correctly:
    - would SyncTwoFolders be needed only for the initial duplication, or would I need to keep using it? If the former, what's the difference between doing this and doing a straight copy?
    - would I set my internal drive "videos" folder as the source, and the external drive "videos" folder as the target? And would that then trigger SyncTwoFolders to start copying the files to the external drive?
    - after the above, I should now have two identical "videos" folders, right? I don't think I need to do the aliasing as these videos are my raw AVCHD videos that aren't referenced anywhere, and I can't play or do anything with them except to be imported into iMovie. So when I delete the originals, the target copy (on the external drive) becomes my only copy.
    - when I then start Time Machine backups on the external drive, does it know not to back those videos up? And when I add new videos, those will backed up by Time Machine as usual?
    Thanks very much for your help!

  • BACK UP DATA MISSING AFTER UPGRADE

    Hello again
    I am posting again my problem , maybe this time I can get some more help..
    I was using an older Itunes and 4.1 os on Iphone. I backed up iphone and restored it (TWICE) to check for data and eveything was there, after upgrading Itunes and OS to 5.0.1 , I tried to restore from the Previous Backup but lots of data was missing (contacts, pix,videos,songs,passwords) . What happened here ?
    I found 4 backup folders with dates :  20/jan/2012 (1 folder )  , 23/jan/2012 (2 folders)  and   26/jan/2012 (1folder) <---date of upgrade.
    (I forgot to mention that when i was upgrading the OS , I wasn't prompted to do anything by Itunes, Itunes upgraded and backed up the phone automatically.)
    I  looked inside those folders and found out that the folders from 20/jan and 23/jan contain identical info. but the one from 26/jan is different !!!!!
    1)does that mean that the original backed up info is still there but not ported over to the new OS ?!!!
    2)Is there anything in particular that I should look for in the backup folders ?
    3)assuming the original backed up data is still there , how do we make sure it is completely transfered to the new OS ?
    Regards

  • Newbie: how to pull data from different data bases to a central location

    Hello,
    I have no experience at all in Oracle; just in MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird for simple applications. I have this project where my Client wants to extract data from related 5 tables, from 12 databases in different locations. Table structure in all 12 locations are the same, and I need to consolidate information for reporting purposes. I was planning in developing a Delphi application for this purpose, yet maybe with pure Oracle SQL or Oracle tools can I automate this?
    Thank you

    Please clarify your term "database".Instance of an Oracle database, one in each of the 12 locations.
    Are the computers in all these locations available via Internet?My client can see all 12 databases from an Oracle database manager; I still have to investigate if its through Internet or private WAN.
    What RDBMS are all these data sources?I have yet to verify the precise Oracle version, yet I know its an old one: 7 or 9. Will confirm it.
    What flavor of RDBMS is the target data repository?Same as previous question
    Is this a 1 shot data load or an ongoing requirement to consolidate "new" data into repository?The require to pull data automatically, maybe a batch process done by night.

  • Batch processing: save processed file with same name to different location without moving the original

    Hi, I would like to denoise Voice Over files with help of Auditions Batch Process. However, I have to save the files with the same name as the original, so that I can simply relink them in Premiere. Since I do want to keep the originals, I would like to save the processed files to a different location.
    Unfortunately, Batch Processor adds " Copy" to the processed files and moves the originals along with the processed files to the new folder (causing Premiere to loose the original files).
    Can I achieve my goal with Batch Processor, and how would I have to configure it?
    Kind regards,
    Andreas

    Which version of Audition are you using? The latest ones allow you to specify where the batched files are saved and also if any Prefix or Postfix are added to the file name. These are all under Export Settings in the Batch Process pane. However you must have the Export box ticked to give you access to the settings.

  • When changing appointment on outlook after time they back on original time and date

    any help and tips will be appreciate
    Thank's

    Hi Rdanny,
    Do you mean both Organizer and Participants' meeting back on original time and date?
    Does the Organizer give others delegation permission?
    Does this issue always occur or just once?
    How about changing time in OWA? If you didn't try it, please try to change the meeting time in OWA for testing.
    If in OWA, this issue disappeared, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
    I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
    I suggest try to re-create the Organizer's profile to refresh the caches.
    Also try to check whether there is any related error message in the App Log.
    Thanks

  • HT204053 restore IOS to a different back up date?

    How to restore a different back up date on my IOS?
    I restored it to a wrong date, and now am missing APPS and information!!!!  Help

    You are missing information because you installed a new IOS.   IOS 7 replaced IOS 6 and would release all content.   Restore should put the most recent backup, back on the device.
    If you have a physical backup on the computer, you can select that backup to restore to the device.

  • How to store ASO dat file in different location

    Hello Everyone,
    i have a requirement where I need to store the .dat(ASO) file in a location other than the folder where the application artifcats are stored. In BSO, We can right click the database, edit, properties and in Storage tab we can choose where Data and Index files have to be stored. Do we have similar option for ASO too? because, the space we have for the application folders are limited and we have a separate SAN drive for storing data and index file and thats where BSO .pag files are stored. Since our ASO cube is growing I want to move the data to a location where BSO data is stored, i mean to the designated drive for data. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes, ASO has the concept of 'tablespaces'. There are four (default, temp, log and metadata) but you probably just want to move the 'default' and 'temp' tablespaces to your SAN location. Temp will look really small (i.e. empty) until you run a restructure or aggregation and then it'll explode to the size of the default tablespace so it's important not to miss.
    See the section on 'Managing Storage for ASO Databases' here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/asysadmn.html, or the 'alter tablespace' MaxL command here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_alttabl.html.
    EDIT: Actually, looking at the documentation, I see that you can't move the metadata or log tablespaces. But you're probably only going to care about 'default' and 'temp' anyway.

  • Mac mini server on two different location

    Hi,
    With my partner we are working on very havy image file from two different location. we wont to be able to share those file to each other easly and quickly mad make sur those file are allways up to date.
    - My first idea was to install in my place one mac mini server with external hard drive (RAID 0) and install the same server in my partner place. then I would like to create a VPN connexion between both Mac Mini server and setup a kind of RAID 1 between then. link that if my partner modify an image file on the server, With a short delay I will be able to see it on my side. this solution would be the best for me as all the data would be save in two different location and I would not have any backup issue.
    I did not buy the MAC mini server yet but as soon that I know the best soluiton and that it is possilbe to do so I will buy it.
    - My second idea (if the first one is not possible or if you guy's convins me that my idea is stupide) would be to have one MAC Mini server in one location setup with an external hard drive in RAID 01. my partner will need to connect to this server through VPN. This solution seems to be a good option but my partner will need to copy the file in local to work on it (few Gb eatch file) and copy it back on the server when he finish to work on it.
    With this solution I will also need to organise manual backup through another hard drive to avoid to have all our data in the same location.
    Witch one of those solution seems the best and can work with MAC mini server? If you have another idea for my situation I m more then happy to read it.
    Knowing that other user may need to access to my file, is the MAC Mini server VPN connection safe and fast?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Chris.

    The fact that you are both working on multi-gigabyte
    files, the statement BDAqua made about network speed
    is a big issue.  Small incremental changes in a single
    multi-gigabyte file still require that entire file to be transferred.
    There in lies the big issue with network speeds.
    Basically, it seems idea 1 will probably not work well and
    besides, RAID is for local drives and not for over networks.
    One solution to the synchronization issue is have a single
    computer that has the application and the data and log into
    it and work remotely.  However, it sounds like these are image
    files and working and any kind of graphics over a remote
    connection is problematic unless there is a very high speed
    network connection.
    Second idea is the simple solution.  As for the backup, that
    can be automated with backup software and the backup could be
    put any where.
