Please HELP very important video lost after restoring from backup

I used my iphone 4 to record me preposing to my fiance and then today I stupidly sync to computer and restore from my 3GS backup before backing up the video files. Is there anyway to get the video back? Please help this is the most important thing in our life. Anything, Anyone please help. I am very devastated right now!

Too be honest. If you recorded the video on the iPhone 4, and then synced the iPhone 4 to iTunes to the computer it is usually connected to, then the video should be backed up.
I'm not sure though, how you managed to have your iPhone 4 up and running, but then restore from a backup from your 3GS?? If you have synced your iPhone 4 to iTunes before, then the backup will have been from the iPhone 4. You get the option the first time you connect the iPhone 4 to iTunes, to either setup as a new device or restore from a backup (that's if you have had a iPhone previously). You can restore the iPhone (which would set it up has a new device, which would remove everything off of it). If you have done this, has far as I know the old information off of the iPhone, would be still there until you synced the iPhone to iTunes again.
In Windows, the library file for iTunes is in username (whatever you are called) music/iTunes, the library file is called iTunes Library.itl, also in this location is the iTunes/iTunes Media folder, in there should be any video/s that have been synced from your iPhone.
Other information off of the iPhone are in the following location:
(You will need to first make sure you have Windows set to show hidden files & folders), Username/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer
I hope you manage to find your video.

Rebuilding a folder structure lost after restoring from backup

The external hard drive I was storing four years worth of photos on crashed the other day, and I learned the hard way that they weren't on the backup drive like I thought they were. Luckily I was able to recover at least most of them using FileSalvage. Unfurtunately, my ~15,000 images are now in three folders based on file type (JPG, TIF, DNG/NEF), don't have their original file names, and aren't in any particular order.
Is there any way short of manually sifting through the files for me to rebuild the year/month/day chronological folder structure I was storing them in?
I'm running Lightroom 4.0 on a OS X 10.8.4.

One option is to use Smart Collections to have Lightroom automatically put files into collections by either capture date or edit date. You can create the collections by year, month, day, a range of dates, etc. If you want to have four years of photos grouped by month, you'd have to create 48 Smart Collections for the 48 months (if you have photos captured or edited in all 48 months).
Then if you want to put them into Folders, just drag the Smart Collections to the appropriate Folders. But note that this will move the files on your hard drive into corresponding folders as well.

After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.

After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all. Everything else seems to by fine, however. I have all my apps, contacts, even my photostream back, but my camera roll has said "downloading 137 of 1,345" for two days. I really don't want to have to start over as the whole process took almost 3 hours. Help?

Someone mentioned that syncing with ITunes, making sure that photos are being synced - even with an empty folder, fixed the problem. I tried it and it didn't work for me. Anyone got any answers that don't include losing the photos or erasing and restoring from backup again?

After restoring from backup on a new phone (same model, just replacement) all my apps are showing as waiting....I have sync'd but still without any joy - this has been going on for hours

It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.

How can I see my messages after restoring from backup?

I have 2.1gb of messages saved in my storage on my 4s but they're not in messages after restoring from backup.
How can I get all my messages back in my message app because I know they're their it's just a matter of getting them restored into the app.

When you restored your phone from an old backup, it wiped ALL data from your phone and replaced it with the data from that backup. It's like your phone went back in time.
Your data that was on the phone before you did the restore is now gone forever. There is no way to get these data back.

After restore from backup, iphone is not getting start, only apple logo is there on screen

after restore from backup, iphone is not getting start, only apple logo is there on screen

Hi there.
Try some basic trouble shooting steps first, before looking into some advanced issues that might be causing this. The first thing I would try, is holding down the power button and home button at the same time until the screen turns off on you. See what steps you can take from there, if any.
Kind Regards.

New photos/videos gone when restored from backup. Why?

Just got the iPhone 5 over the weekend, which was a huge upgrade from my 2009 3G!
I didn't get around to plugging the phone into my MacBook Pro until today. When I synced my new iPhone, I clicked "restore from previous backup", which then it put all my old photos from 3G onto iPhone 5.
However, when this happened, all of my SMS and photos/videos that I took over the weekend are now gone. I presume the iphone replaced the new photos with my old ones?
Is there any way I can get those videos and photos back? Please let me know!
Thanks

When you restore from the backup you only get the data that was contained in that backup. You will lose any data on the device that occurred after the backup point.
Restore = Replace data on device.
It does not "add" that data to the existing data on the phone.

Having a hard time rebooting iPhone 5 after restore from backup!

Here is my problem, my new iphone 5 did a restore from backup from my 4S. It took awhile because I have a lot of apps. Unfortunately not all the folders were intact. I heard that you have to do a double restore from backup. Once I did my 2nd restore from backup, the phone goes through a reboot process. I get the apple logo and then a blank screen. I have tried holding the home and top button with and without it being plugged in. I got it working and did a restore from backup again, thinking the folders would be restored. It did not work again. After trying about 5 or 6 times, I finally got the phone to come up again. Unfortunately I still have not gotten my folders back they way it was. It's partial and now I don't want to try to do another restore from backup. So I guess itunes is still not fixed in terms of restoring apps and folders they way it is supposed to be. Anyone else have this issue?

Sorry to say my friend, but any second you going to lose from that moment on is a lost second. I d like to wish you luck and after all said and done - get back here and tell me if I was wrong. BTW if those were text group messages, your phone was never a problem.

No Camera App after restore from backup on iphone 4

OK so I backedup my iphone 3g which was on 312 on itunes 9.2 before my iphone 4 arrived today. I restored from backup and all of my apps restored. I can't seem to find the camera app! It's driving me crazy that I am trying restore the iphone 4 as a new phone but downloading the iOS4 firmware for iphone 4 is taking more than 3 hours for some reason.
Has anyone seen this?

Why not? If old data is recovered by restoring, then new data after last back up lose. If keep new data after last back up remain, lost old data can't be regained, even may be user's lack of knowledge, iPhone should not be for the people of one class...I am really sad for all who suffer the lost of their hearts (valuable data that can never be recalled) like me. How can I continue to use idevices?????

After restoring from backup, iPad hangs after sliding to unlock-I have to reset every time to get it to work--Any fix?

I have a first generation iPad.
After having crashing issues I restored from backup.
Since restore, whenever I slide to unlock, it hangs for few minutes. Then I get a pictrue of the spinning circle but is doesn't spin---just hangs there--frozen.
I have to reset the iPad to get it to function every time (holding down the home button/on-off button).
Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue?

Seems to have something to do with the passcode. I turned the passcode off and now there are no issues.

Bug in iphone 4s - Red icon shows after restore from backup

Hi All,
I think i have found a bug with the iphone 4s.
If i restore to new with the latest software 5.0.1 the little red icon does not show on the settings tab but then if i do a restore from backup it shows.
This is annoying and is clearly a bug as the phone is upto date.
Anyone else having this issue?
I think it might be because i installed the update from 5.0 to 5.0.1 via the phone and not the pc.
Cheers

If you have back up your notes, you can restore from the backup.
To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
1. Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
2. If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup
Solution from Apple.com: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone data recovery software is your last shot! I used iTunes Data Recovery and it worked well. It's easy to use. Just a few clicks you can get all your photos back. Here is a step by step guide for you: http://x.co/3Q8U3

Please help me - importing videos

Please help me if you can... I just finished converting a video on Videora, and now I have located the file, but I cannot drag and drop it into iTunes. I have tried going to File > Import... locating the file, and entering it, but that has not worked. Then I tried putting the file as a desktop icon and dragging and dropping it into iTunes, but that appeared to have failed also. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated - please!

I have the same problem too. I downloaded videos from limewire and it says that its a WAV file or something but its really quicktime. Maybe I have that backwards but I wonder if it can be converted to the correct file that the ipod plays.

Please help, very important file corrupt

Hi,
I am writing my final thesis, (more than 100 pages) and indesign crashed this moring while writing. Now the file can't open anyware anymore. I am using CS6 trial version, and even on other mac and pc it will not open anymore.
How can I get my file back? Please help me..
Thanks a lot!

It's usually a bad sign when the file will no longer open even on another computer. Do you get any error messages?
Find, and empty, the InDesign Recovery folder in your user library to keep ID from crashing over and over when it tries to open the bad recovery data. (The recovery folder is in the same folder where the InDesign SavedData file is stored, and the path information for your OS can be found in Replace Your Preferences Note that this folder is gong to be a hidden folder if you run Lion, so you need to display hidden folders in your search).
Once that is done, start InDesign and use FIle > Open... to navigate to the original location where the file is saved. Tick the radio button to "Open as a COPY" and cross your fingers. If you are REALLLLLLY lucky it will open, and if it does, IMMEDIATELY export to .idml, then save the file with a new name as a backup, too. File > Open... and open the .idml file you just made, Save As to yet another name and you should be good to go.
If it doesn't open, do you have any backup copies someplace? If not, you best hope is probably Markzware: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form
Now some advice on preventing this from happening again (though a crash is outside your control). First, never work directly off a removeable drive, if that's your habit. Copy the file to the hard drive, edit, then copy back to the removeable drive. Do a Save As from time to time to clear out the old, useless and inaccessible change data from previous sessions and reduce the file size. Make backup copies every day. If you do the save as each time you are done working, and add a versioning sequence to the name or something similar you take care of two birds with one stone.

HT3603 camera roll is empty from my pic after restore from backup!!! plz help

Hi, I have restored my iPhone to factory defaults and after that i choose the option to restore via iCloud since i already Made backup for all my applications and pictures ...but unfortunately
- All my applications, SMSs, contacts, etc. were restored successfully
BUT My camera roll (pictures & videos) was not restored at all since when im looking to the camera roll nothing inside it
i wait too much this problem since 2 days until now nothing important
It remains empty. It only downloaded the last 15 pictures from my Photostream.
I'm sure my restored iCloud backup should still contain these pictures as it states that the backup size is 3.7 GB.
My camera roll was about 2,2 GB so that makes sense since now when i go to the details of the icloud backup
it still appears this information but where is my pictrures i have done restore and backup 3 times but nothing appear
in the camera roll!!! so please help me in the problem specially i still not make any changing in the icloud backup

I just restored my new ipod from a previous one that had everything on it. Camera Roll, apps, music, stuff from I Am T-Pain. This is my 7rh iPod.

But now, I have no pictures.on my camera roll, no data in any of my apps, just the music is the same. Im so incredibly ****** off. i don't think there is a way to fix this :'''''(
