Photo recovery from itunes backup

Hi,
Today Apple swapped out my daughters IPhone 4S (for the second time in a week) as it had a repeat of a wi-fi issue. They asked me not to restore the iTunes backup as they think that the settings of the old phone may be causing some sort of firmware issue. There lies the problem, the phone is backed up but the photos and contacts are not sync'd to my computer. Is there anyway of extracting the photos from the backup to my pc without restoring the backup to the phone.
I have checked out a couple of extraction apps but they all want to charge me top dollar unless I just extract 1 photo or one contact at a time !!
Thanks in advance

Man, that MediaRECOVER worked great from a preview standpoint! I not only saw my previously deleted photos from the last "roll" but also saw additional photos as well from earlier rolls. I wish I had this a few weeks ago...
Anyway, I haven't purchased it yet as I am in process of erase and installing OSX on my laptop again. I may have been able to get the photos from the a target disk mode data pull onto my older mac, but if that didn't work I'll simply use my latest backup file to restore all of my lost photos and use MediaRECOVER to get the photos that I added after the last backup.
Thanks!!!
PS - For anyone considering using this, make sure you have a media card reader to create a disk image of the flash memory, and don't take any more pictures using that memory until you use MediaRECOVER. The next pictures you take will replace the "deleted" images if you do this.

My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

Hi, kformagg
I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
It worked very well.

Hey jtom234412,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
Thanks,

How to delete songs from itunes backup file

how to delete songs from itunes backup file

There is nothing to delete, as no iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup.

HT3406 If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old phone. Will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to the computer? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some

If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way? In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

Windows Server 2012 - Backup failing with Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed

Hi
We have a Windows 2012 server with Exchange 2013, all is working fine except now i am getting issues with the backup.
'Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed for the component Microsoft Exchange Server'
I have checked the database all is fine, i have created a new db and move all mailbox;s over and then removed the old db, i have enabled circular logging and then disabled it, it seems no matter what i do i cannot get a full backup!
i did have to restore the server once and the backups still worked for about 4 days after that and then stopped, i have also tried to remove and re add the backup role!
i am stumped, any advice would be great!

Hi
Ok, i created a test db and tried to back it up right away, it failed, i did not add any mailbox's to it either. i got quite a few events in the windows logs, as well as the same event above i got the following:

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

After resetting & restoring iPad from iTunes backup, I got A LOT of a problems

These might not me "A LOT :O" for you
But for me, I'm getting sorta mad that Steve Jobs is dead, apple went ⬇️DOWN
I have 2 problems:
Problem 1: after resetting and restoring from iTunes backup, i get all the settings back. But my apps didn't. If I download them, would I have my files back? Like my minecraft worlds? I had VERY important stuff
Problem 2: when I want to download a paid app like minecraft, and I downloaded it from the same apple ID, it doesn't say 'free', nor it has a cloud, But it says $6.99. Please help me. I have IOS 7.1.1.
Thank you,
Ab

[b]SOLVED[/b]
Answer for question 1: yes
Answer for question 2: follow these steps:
1) Log out of your apple ID
2) log back in
So hard

When restoring phone from iTunes backup can you choose what to put back on phone?

I got the iPhone 6 Plus and instead of restoring from iCloud backup I have to restore from iTunes backup, but I don't want to include my music just to have some more space left on my new phone. Is there a way to restore without my music??

Perhaps I've just confused everyone. In iTunes your media can be checked or unchecked. Unchecked items are usually not synced. By unchecking media in the library before restoring a device that was previously set up to include media it should be the case that no media is restored during the sync. Once the restore is complete you can then adjust sync options, recheck your content and sync your new selections. Since an entire class of media can be checked or unchecked with a simple ctrl-click this has the potential to speed up the restore phase considerably.

Restoring iPhone from iTunes backup

Sorry guys, I'm new to ios. This may sound like a silly question to many of you but I can't seem to get this working.
I seem to have lost my data in iphone 5s. It is asking to either setup as a new phone or restore from itunes backup. The last back i did was today afternoon when everything was intact. But once the iphone was connected to itunes, it automatically started backing up the device with no data (as it was wiped out), now when I attempt to restore from itunes backup all it does is restore from the latest backup.
This afternoon's successful backup does not seem to get listed in the list of backups. Am I doing something wrong? The reason for doing backup is to restore when in need. This does not make any sense to me. Please help.

Thanks @aHmAda1m33. I have installed and checked iTools - the previous successful backup is not listed but all others after reinitializing are listed. I've lost hope now :-(

HT201407 restoring from itunes backup

I believe I restored my phone and now It's on the "Set Up Your iPhone" screen. So when I click on "Restore from iTunes Backup" and connect it to iTunes my pc backs it up or whatever and then after it finishes which only takes about 1-2 minutes my phone will still be on the "Connect to iTunes" screen. And I keep unplugging my phone from my pc trying to see if that will make a difference and the screen will go away and it willl come back on but it doesn't. Any suggestions on what could be the problem? I really don't want to have to set it up as a "New iPhone" and have to start all over. And no I don't have a wifi connection that's why I was trying to avoid having to set it up all over again. But I might just have to. Anybody know what the problem could be? Or do I have to wait a certain amount of time after it syncs to my pc to give it some time to come back on?? PLEASE HELP!!!

I was becoming a little impatient so I just went ahead and set my phone back up as a new iPhone. Hopefully my pictures come back up there

I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...
