  • Factory reset or restore from backup?

    I tried removing a Windows partition the wrong way and I am unable to restore to a single partition.  So I have the Macintosh HD and BOOTCAMP disks.  The data on the BOOTCAMP disk was erased using Disk Utility.  How do I restore to a single partition?  Factory reset or restore from backup?  My back up was from before I added the Windows partition but I have a gut feeling that's telling me this might not work.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It looks lke you erased the Boot Camp partition. To delete it, try opening Boot Camp Assistant. If it can't delete this partition:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the hard disk at the top of the sidebar.
    2. Go to Partition tab, choose BOOTCAMP on the bar and press - button to remove the partition.
    3. Press Macintosh HD at the bottom right corner, so you will be able to drag it to the bottom of the bar, and press Apply.
    4. The Mac OS X partition will be using all the space of your hard drive and the Boot Camp volume will have been deleted

    While updating my iphone 4s to ios6, I had to restore it. Now every time I connect to itunes, I get the "Set Up Your iPhone" window with the set up as new iphone and restore from backup options. After the restore, I got everything except my apps and music back. Do I need to set the phone up as new again?

  • Can I back up computer with time machine on lion then reinstall snow leopard and restore from backup safely

    Can I back up computer with time machine on lion then reinstall snow leopard and restore from backup safely?

    If your machine came with Snow Leopard or earlier and you have your install disks, yes, you can reinstall SL. However, you will need to erase the entire hard drive so you will lose all your files. Also note that there are some apps (such as Mail) which can't be downgraded "automatically" such as with a restore from Time Machine. Here is some info on TM:

  • My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed.  After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work.  I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
    It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder.  Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore.  Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

  • HT201210 Synching iPhone after factory restore and restore from backup; synching appears stuck on Step 5 of 5, "waiting for items to copy."  That message displays for hours with no apparent progress.

    Synching iPhone after factory restore and restore from backup; synching appears stuck on Step 5 of 5, "waiting for items to copy."  That message displays for hours with no apparent progress.

    I never had this problem, but just noticed it happening.. Please note it's a BUG. I went out and bought a 128GB  iPhone just to hold all my songs. It wouldn't work. This never happened with the iPhone 3/3s/4/5/5s but started happening with the iPhone 6. After 40 hours of working through all possible solutions on the web and with Apple cares support (supposedly senior level) They finally suggested what the problem was. I had "Convert higher bit songs to 128  aac" Checked. This does not work One more thing when I unchecked that, the sync took like 3.5 hours instead of the 9-12 hours is usually took even on the smaller iphones. I have 98.7GB of music. Before I was just syncing a list of specific songs.
    The syncing seems to be random when it has the problem though.

  • Backing up an iPad/iPhone and Restoring from Backup

    To preface this post, I have always had Apple products and currently own an iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro. I have also spent about 4 hours on the phone with Apple support staff and they recommended I make a post on the Apple Support Forums.
    Basically, this is a warning that when you backup your iPad or iPhone, Apple only backups contacts, notes, photos, calendars, and mail.
    According to the third representative I spoke to, Apple does not, I repeat DOES NOT, actually back up music and playlists in your iTunes on your devices or backup the apps you have on them.
    I had to get my iPad replaced because the smart cover was corroding and I did a full backup before I brought my iPad in to the Apple store. When I tried to restore from backup, everything but my iTunes libraries and my apps reappeared. For most, the iTunes wouldn't matter, but I was using a newish computer and had not yet organized my music library, although I had transferred all the songs back from an external drive. The apps are always a pain, since you have to manually download all of the ones you want after going to your purchases in the iTunes store.
    However, a helpful thing I did learn, despite the fact that all my music from my iPad was gone, was that you can restore old playlists by quitting iTunes and going to Finder > Home > Music > iTunes and selecting iTunes Music Library.xml and dragging it to the desktop. Then you open iTunes and click File > Library > Import Playlist and select iTunes Music Library.xml from your desktop.
    Anyway, this is one of the first times I have been thoroughly fed up with Apple: if their policy is to not back up music or apps when a user clicks backup, then they need to make it clear. Before I restored from backup, those files appeared in my iTunes as if they existed, although according to my Apple representative, they never did.

    All the information about what gets backed up is available from Apple.  Here's the article explaining what is contained in iTunes backups (see "iTunes will back up the following information"):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Most people will not have the unfortunate coincidence that you had wherein you wanted to restore a backup because your iPad needed replacement and simultaneously had an issue with your computer that had been storing your music.
    So although the iTunes backup does not contain your music, you could subscribe to iTunes Match as described here and get that music all stored in the iCloud for you.

    I hope this helps.

  • Backup for Iphone4G and restore from backup to Iphone4S,but can not sync the applications? What's going on ??

    I backup my iphone4g in Itunes and then restore from backup to Iphone4S, the contact numbers, messages and pictures all can sync..but the applications can not sync? What's going on ?? Anyone knows?? Is the problem about the Itunes? Cos I am using Itunes 10.5...

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
    Thank you for any help you can give.

  • After ios 5 update and restore from backup my passcode doesn't work, what happened?

    yesterday iupdated my ipod touch 4g to ios5 and i selected to backup from an itunes backup i made yesterday morning, but after doing so, my ipod went to sleep, and when i tried to unlock it, it told me ipod disabled wait 1 minute, after a minute i tried again but then  it said wait 5 minutes, why isn't my passcode working?

    Restore from Backup once more. Passcodes are not restored in backups, so you should be able to get on the iPod without a passcode, then go into Settings and set up a new one (or the old one if you want).

  • IWeb wont work after MAC OS X upgrade, and restore from backup

    I upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.2, and reinstalling iWeb 08, and restoring my website from backup, iWeb does not recognize my existing website. When I opened iWeb for the first time, it had the option for creating a new website, not recognizing my existing website. I could not see an option to "open" or "import". How can I get it to recognize my existing iWeb website?
    We website is located in my <user home directory> Root directory. I have also tried placing it in the <user home>\Sites directory and relaunching iWeb with no success.

    I made a full backup of the hard drive before I repartitioned it for MAC OS X. I Once the install completed, I copied over the <user>\Domain-Name. I wasn't aware of the one in >library>application support. I went and looked on my backup and could not see anything resembling my domain name or iweb under >library>application support. Can you give me a little more information on this or where it could possibly be? I'm sure that I'm really close to getting this figured out.
    Thanks!

  • HT1782 How to reformat the disk and restore from backup

    DISk utility found errors that could not be repaired. The instruction said to back up all files and then restore with backup. How do I do this? Will the restore also restore the errors?

    Backup all you data using Time Machine or a clone program. Boot into the Recovery Mode (command - R during a restart), erase the disk and reformat it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). From the Options button, choose GUID. The restore may or may not restore the errors, depending on what caused the errors.

  • IPhone unlocked and restored from backup .. still unlocked?

    I recently unlocked my iPhone 4S through iTunes successfully receiving the "Congrautlations...." message. However, after this I restored it from a backup as to not lose all of my contacts, texts, photos, etc. Now it says my carrier is still AT&T. By restoring the phone, did I cancel out the unlock? Do I just have to restore it to factory settings and lose all of my data? I've read thoroughly Apple's instructions and it does not state this anywhere. Thank you!

    Yes, the instructions for the unlock came through ATT&T. I'll copy and paste the text from that e-mail (from July) here:

    2. Ensure the original SIM card that came with this device is inserted in your iPhone.
    3. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.

    You can't install Adobe applications by copying from a backup.
    Start by cleaning out all the CS apps using Adobe Cleaner Tool:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then download a new installer from here:
