Problem restoring backup data

Backed up to iCloud just a few minutes ago (it took 30 minutes to complete) so I could wipe my iPod. Wiped it but now it tells me the backup is unusable. I get the same message with the previous two backups it did over the last couple of days. I have successfully logged into iCloud on the computer. I have attempted this a dozen or so times over the last half hour.
Any suggestions? I'm a tad frustrated, thank God this isn't my phone.

Hi
I have the exact same issue on my brand new iPhone 5s - allthough the massage i get is Could not log into the server. There is something wrong with the connection.
Did you get your issue solved?

I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

No, you should not. There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

That usually means that there is something wrong with the backup and it cannot be used. You can try restoring the backup again, but if you continue to get the same message all you can do is restore to a different backup, if you have one.

Cannot restore Backup data on Z2 Android 5.0

Hi everyone,
So I just been upgrading my Xperia Z2. The phone was on Android 4.4.2 when I used the Backup & Restore application to backup my System apps data, and some of my Downloaded apps with data. I had to upgrade to 4.4.4. I think it was a mistake that I didn't make a backup on 4.4.4 as well. Now I've upgraded to 5.0, and all of my apps & settings were kept, but I wanted to start clean, so I did a factory reset.
Now when I'm trying to use the Backup & Restore app again to Restore the backup file I made on 4.4.2, a window pops up saying "Cannot restore, Selected backup records cannot be used due to incompatible software versions. Please select a more recent backup file."
So the backup files are present, everything else works on the Z2...my question would be what should I do now to be able to restore my backups?
Thank you all,
David

The back of my z2 cracked during the winter so 3 weeks ago i sent it to sony so that they could fix my back glass, by the that l had not received lollipop at here in the US it was not yet available. So they asked me to backup my information as they would reset the phone when it got to them. So i tried to backup using PC companion and i failed so i decided to backup on my SD card using the backup and restore application in the applications menu. So this week they sent the phone back to me and it had been a update to lollipop, when i tried to restore my backuped data from my SD card it would not let me with an error message saying there is incompatibility or OS. I call sony to help me about it they could not help me

HT1766 I am trying to restore a new replacement phone from an icloud backup but it is telling me there is a problem with backup data. The backup was done under 7.1 and I think the new phone still just has 7.04. My itunes backup was lost last week...sugges

I am trying to restore from icloud but it appears the 7.1 it was backed up in and the 7.04 on the new phone won't allow it. My itunes library was lost last week due to computer crashing and having to be restored. I have a clean very current icloud back up done on March 21st but I cant seem to get it there. Suggestions please?

You will have to update the iPhone to iOS 7.1 if that is the iOS the backup was done in. You cannot restore a newer iOS update to a phone with older iOS. Once you update the phone, you will be able to restore the backup.

Problem restoring backup.arc file

Hi all!
i've just reinstalled the latest firmware for my e65 and i can't get my phone to use the backup file (backup.arc) done before the operation.
it just says "now the phone will be rebooted" and, after the reboot) nothing happens. it hasn't restored nor my contacts or applications nor my settings
what could i do? help!

The problem seems to be changing my iCloud address. I went back to my old iCloud address and tried importing the abbu backup file. That didn't work but I was able to restore the Address Book from Time Machine and all is back to normal.
I'm thinking removing contacts, calendar, etc. from iCloud sync, then changing my iCloud address, then reinstating iCloud sync might work. But I don't think I'm going to mess with iCloud for awhile.

Problems restoring Backup after disk crash & exchange

Recently, the harddisk in my iBook started acting up and eventually died. I had made a backup three days prior to the crash, so I still have (most of) my data.
I brought my iBook to an Apple repair shop, where they mounted a new hard disk. So far so good.
Unfortunately, I've been trying to put my backup on the new disk for the last five days, without succes.
At first I thought it might have had to do with the diskimage I had, like "unreadable" names, but even after rewriting the image to a read/write one, and deleting or renaming the files that had unfortunate signs in it, I still keep getting an error, namely
" An error (2) occurred while copying. (No such file or directory) "
I can't find what's going wrong, I tried everything I could come up with - even simply extracting the files to the disk, but this of course skips most of the hidden files; and when doing this from within the terminal, I still get "Permission denied" errors...
If anyone could help me on this one, I'd be very grateful!
Ah yes, the backup is on an external FW disk, from which I can also boot - which is what I'm doing right now as well; so it's not that I can't write to the disk because it's busy as the bootdisk.

*\mood happy*
Booting still failed this morning... So I thought I'd delete some files from the image to make it copy faster...
I tried Silver Keeper again (when choosing a source, it asks whether one wants the destination to become bootable); and this time - it worked.
I have CCC as well, but haven't tried it.
Anyway - the disk has now been restored and is bootable, so I'm happy. I'll still have to copy back a few directories (the ones I deleted, together around 40gigs, homemade pictures and movies... Not really necessary for a diskrestore at first, I figured), but it works now.
Thank you again; for helping me, but also for teaching me (indirectly as well) a few things about the Mac filesystem.
*end of report with a successful recovery*

HT1766 Problem restoring backup to ipad

when i try to restore the backup it asks me for a password and i forgot what password is. How can i restore the back up to the ipad

You can't. You can keep backing up using that backup, but you can never restore from it without the passcode. The suggested fix is to restore as new and start all over again.
iTunes and encrypted backups
In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt 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.

IBM T43: Restore Backup Data

I created a backup file before restoring my T43 laptop to its factory default settings. After the restore, I ran the backup utility to restore my backup files. Problem is that my files that I backed up is not appearing anywhere.
I selected the option to restore my files to the original place, but the files are there when the backup utility "successfully" restore my backup files.
What can I do to get my files back? I need them.
THANKS for any suggestions!

I just manually copied everything across in the end, so no worries.
Apple very graciously just replaced an early 08 MBP with a new unibody one, so I can live with doing it manually.
Fantastic. And worth the extra time
Enjoy.

Trying to restore backup data from a 6280 to an N7...

Guys please help, I'm so gutted about this. My 6280 is damaged & I have no screen, so haven't been able to read any text messages for the past two weeks. However I've constantly backed all these up via PC Suite & have the copier files on my system. But when I try to locate these via the backup application within Suite, with my N73 connected, it doesn't show?! What'd I do?
