PE6-I restored my backup but now don't see photos/slideshows etc.
I use windows xp and I backed up one of my catalogues then deleted it from my computer. I then restored it and was working on a slideshow just fine, THEN, when I later went in to work some more, my catalogue is empty!!!??? How do I get the photos and slideshow back. What happened??? I think the pics and everything are still in my computer, but I don't know why they are not in my catalogue.
HELP I have to finish this slide show....
Thank you!

I can't imagine why you would make a backup and then delete the original; nor does this count as a "backup" in any meaningful sense.
I then restored it and was working on a slideshow just fine,
Could you please state how you restored the catalog? Do you mean you restored the catalog file; or do you mean you restored the catalog and all photos? Still don't understand why you did this.

Don't you hate it when that happens?
Perhaps you opened a different (default?) catalog? Since you restored the catalog, you must know where the catalog file now resides. What happens if you look for this restored catalog file in Windows? Is it there? What happens if you double-click on it?

Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi
Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi
Is synching over wi-fi viable? I've never done it, but when I tried something similar back in the old Palm PDA days, it was S-L-O-W, slow as molasses. I realize that the i-device are far more modern with faster processors, but wondering whether it's even worth exploring doing this.

I've updated my phone and I've made a backup. but now it says I must enter my code to restore all my files and I haven't got this code. If I cancel the process or choose something else, all my stuff will be deleted, and I really don't want that.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!If, for some reason, your backup got encrypted and you don't know the code, you'll have to set up your phone as new device and start all over again without the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
If you can't get pass the lock screen, connect in recovery mode and restore the phone, you'll have the option to reset the lock secreen passcode.
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software. -
ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?
In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum. -
i got my new iPhone 5 and i connected it to my iTunes on mac and it ask me if i want to setup as new iPhone or restore backup and i restore back up but now i want to delete backup and set up as new iPhone, is the anyhow?
The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

In updating my iphone 5 for the new software ios6. An error occurred and now is asking me to restore settings. But I don't want torestore setting causing not all of my recent data has been synced and I don't want to lose my data. How can I undo this since i did not hit restore settings, yet i can't do any other move without restoring at this point. Any ideas?
You phone is in recovery mode. Your data is already gone.
Why you would attempt a software upgrade without backing up all your data first is beyond me, but to each his own.
In any case, sorry for your data loss. -
I misplaced my ipad, so I remotely erased it. Then I found it, but now I cannot use all of the options in the settings. I have restored from backup, but it still is not letting me use all functionality. Help!
Would throwing it in Recovery mode and restoring as new clear it up?
(same for Ipad)
Step 1: Turn off the iPhone. To do this press and hold the power button till you see the “Slide to Power off” screen. Now slide the button to turn it off.
In case your iPhone is stuck in an infinite loop and the previous option is unavailable, press and hold the Power and Home button till the screen goes off. Remember to leave both the buttons as soon as the screen goes off and before the Apple logo appears again.
Step 2: Connect the iPhone’s USB cable to your computer but not to your iPhone yet.
Step 3: Now hold down the Home button and while you are holding it connect the USB cable. Keep holding the Home button till you see the Connect to iTunes screen on your iPhone(Screenshot shown below). iTunes will show an alert saying a device in recovery mode has been detected.
Here’s what your iPhone screen will look like once its in the iPhone Recovery Mode.

I NEVER entered a password for the backup but now I want to restore my iphone and itunes asks for one. What can I do?
@Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up. -
I restored my iphone but now it will not power on fully. The Itunes plugin appears. I plug it in and restore as requested but the phone never restarts like it says it will. I have done this several times now but nothing. Suggestions?
Sounds like time to take it back to Apple for repair.

All contacts disappeared on iPhone - Can't restore from backup, iCloud now gone too
Just sitting and watching TV and having some minor text conversations on my phone (5S).. Next thing I know a message pops up without a name and the +1 area code an number.. The message is from the same person and number I was just texting. Strange I thought.. Pulled up my contacts and "no contacts" is displayed. Checked my settings.. iCloud contacts are still enabled.. reset my phone.. reset network settings.. nothing helped.. I thought, no big deal.. I backup every night.
First time restoring from backup, I saw all the contacts there and thought i was in the clear.. 10 seconds later, they disappear before my eyes! Getting very frustrated i tried an older backup. They don't even show up. I log into iCloud on my laptop and they are there for 2-3 seconds and disappear.
I've been using iPhone's since the original and have the new phone every year.. I pretty good with these phones, but this has me stumped/very frustrated. Has anyone experienced this or found a solution? I'm out all my contacts from the last 8 years.. Thinking I never had to worry because I've backed up!
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
RyanI don't think that is the case.. I noticed they were there when I would first complete a restore from backup but as soon as my apps started loading they would disappear again.
I got them back by immediately turning on airplane mode as soon as I completed the restore. I the turned off iCloud sync and selected keep contacts on this phone. turned iCloud back on and selected merge contacts.
First time I tried that it worked for a minute until the apps started to update again, I believe it might have been WhatsApp, then, what do you know, contacts gone again. I repeated the process and, this time, I deleted all my apps. Seems to be working ok now. All contacts have stayed.
Is it possible that an auto update for an app that accesses your contacts could have a bug that does this? Whatever it was, I am very glad I got them back.

I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. This is the same with many other apps as well and not just temple run. Is there anything I can do to get them back?
So, you need an older version of the iOS app, because the current version no longer works on your iPod touch.
If you do regular backups of your hard drive (as you should), such as by using Apple's built-in Time Machine (if you use a Mac), you may find the older version of the app in the backup archive, and restore it (replacing the newer version). They are stored in the iTunes Media folder, in the Mobile Applications sub-folder. You should then be able to sync the older version to your iPod touch.
I can't think of any other way to get it back...
NOTE: An 2nd gen iPod touch can run up to iOS 4.2.1. If your iPod touch is running something earlier, and that is why the app no longer works, you can also consider updating the iPod's iOS.
I use an even older iPhone (original). I avoid this potential problem by aways updating its apps on the iPhone, not in iTunes on the computer. When I do it on the iPhone, it will not download a newer version of an app that won't run on my old iPhone. -
Hi ... I had to replace my iPad and I want restore from backup but I forgot my password, is there any way of recovering it?
Would the backup be password protected? I don't know ... After you restore from a back-up, and if you have passwords set up, would the newly restored iPad require a password or would it be "live" for 5 minute or however long the iPad was set to wait to require a password? Maybe wiser heads can advise...
