Restore Doesn't Work As Described

I have an iPhone 4S. I use iCloud to sync the Reminders app to my Mac and iPad. I backup my iPhone 4S to my Mac - not to iCloud.  I accidentally deleted a lengthy Reminders *list* from the Reminders app this afternoon. Of course it immediately deleted itself from my Mac and iPad. So I immediately launched iTunes and restored my entire phone using "Restore from Backup" — an encrypted backup that I made well before accidentally deleting the list today.  But when I restored my phone, not only was that list I was hoping to restore NOT restored, but other lists were entirely missing. Not all my lists, just a few lists. The default (Reminders) list is there, as is a "Groceries" and "Market" list, but 2 other lists I'd created months ago are not restored.  What is the point of creating an encrypted backup of an iPhone if it does not restore all of the Apple-related apps and data?  How exactly are we supposed to backup the Apple-related apps and data to be able to restore things like Reminders lists, should they be deleted?  Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Reminders is not part of the iTunes backup

  • HT1560 What if Factory Restore doesn't work?

    What if Factory Restore doesn't work?

    As a last ditch effort, try the following:
    Power off the AirPort for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for another 10-12 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
    Release the reset button after the hold period, and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
    At this point, the amber should be blinking slowly, and you should be able to reconfigure it again using AirPort Utility on your Mac
    If a factory default reset does not work, the AirPort is defective and will need to be replaced.

    Thanks anyway for your help.
    But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
    Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted).

  • HT4623 if the phone we are updating is locked how can we 6.1 to 5.0 and what if restoring doesn't work at all...

    if the phone we are updating is locked how can we 6.1 to 5.0 and what if restoring doesn't work at all...

    iTunes will only ever install the latest version of iOS for the device, in the case of the 3GS that is 6.1.

  • Capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

    In Pages capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

    I think it does work as described, but the description is not very complete. Capitalization does not change any of the characters that you type; what it does is allow some of the lower case characters to display as capitals. If you copy the result and paste it as plain text, you'll see that the lower case characters are still there. It doesn't actually say anywhere that it can make capitals display as lower case, and it can't.
    The obvious way around this is to actually type what you want.
    The more powerful way is to install WordService from Devon Technologies which adds the functionality of Pages' capitalization menu as well a lot of other ones. WordService actually changes the character to the one displayed, and it works in most of the applications on your Mac.

  • How to restore a CD or .dmg to a disk? It doesn't work as described.

    To restore a .dmg file or the contents of a CD or DVD to a disk, I used to open Disk Utility, click on the .dmg file that I want to put on a disk, click the Restore tab, drag the .dmg to the source field and the disk to the Destination field.
    Now, on both my 10.6.1 MBP and on my wife's 10.4.11 MBP, dragging the CD icon from the desktop or finder window to the Destination field just won't take. If I try to drag the blank CD from the left column of DU, the whole window changes.
    The DU help menu says: "3. Drag the disk that will hold the contents of the disk image to the Destination field." That doesn't work for me.
    TIA for any ideas.

  • Ipod not recognized and Restore doesn't work

    i have an ipod classic 160 GB, with disk mode enabled. When i connect it to the mac mini, it calls up iTunes. but then the message comes up that ipod can't be recognized. So i have restored it (using the latest updates, by connecting to the net) and then synced. During ejecting the ipod too, the proper procedure has been followed. However, at the end of all of it (i have 10000+ items in iTunes and it takes a LOOONG time to sync), when i try to use the disconnected ipod, it shows 'No Music', 'No Playlists', no this, no that...
    I have also gone thru some other posts in this forum which suggested methods (such as getting ipod into disk mode and then connecting, trashing ipod software updates and reinstalling), to try to rectify the problem but there has been no difference And BTW, now i check, ipod shows 92 GB free (of the 160 GB). so what been copied, and where is it? or is the flash drive corrupted?
    Pls HELP, as I need the ipod and my music
    BTW, I think that this problem has become more pronounced since I installed the latest iTunes update (7.6.1)

    Try this...
    *Checking hard-drive for errors*
    Hold Menu+Select on the iPod for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Connect to your computer, closing iTunes if it opens. Run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the iPod. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of a successful restore.
    Once you've restored your iPod don't rush to dump all the data back exactly as it was before. Complex smart playlists can sometimes trigger constant reboots or dumping of the iPod's library. In addition, larger transfers can fail leaving data in an inconsistent state. Try this technique for populating the iPod in stages.
    *Break up large transfers*
    In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos etc.

  • Class unloading doesn't work as described in this forum !!!

    Hi,
    to the problem of dynamic class unloading many people in this forum wrote:
    - write your own class loader
    - load the class to be unloaded later
    - set all instances of your own class loader to null
    - if the work is done set all instances of the loaded classes to null
    - call the garbage collector and the classes will be removed
    I constructed a simple test for the problem:
    - the test class
    public class Impl {
    public String getVersion () {
    return "1";
    - instanciating the test class
    - printing the value of getVersion() to the screen
    - changing the return value of getVersion() and recompiling it (the test application is still runnig)
    - unload try (see below)
    - instanciating the test class
    - printing the value of getVersion() to the screen
    Back to the tipps above. Why doing this? The theory says a class loader stores every loaded class for
    suppressing unnecessary reloads. In reality the classes are NOT stored in the own class loader but in
    the parent of it. If no parameter is given to a class loader's constructor the parent of a class loader
    is the system classloader.
    Let's have a look at the source code of java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(...):
    protected synchronized Class loadClass(String name, boolean resolve)
    throws ClassNotFoundException
    // First, check if the class has already been loaded
    Class c = findLoadedClass(name);
    if (c == null) {
    try {
    if (parent != null) {
    ### here the loadClass() of the parent is called and the
    ### loaded class is stored within the parent
    c = parent.loadClass(name, false);
    } else {
    c = findBootstrapClass(name);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
    // If still not found, then call findClass in order
    // to find the class.
    c = findClass(name);
    if (resolve) {
    resolveClass(c);
    return c;
    My Idea was: Give a null to the class loader's constructor so the classes cannot be stored within a parent.
    Here my test class loader (it is build as it is described within javadoc of java.lang.ClassLoader
    except the constructor):
    import java.io.*;
    public class MyClassLoader extends ClassLoader {
    public MyClassLoader () {
    super ( null );
    public Class findClass ( String name ) {
    byte[] b = loadClassData ( name );
    return defineClass ( name, b, 0, b.length );
    private byte[] loadClassData ( String name ) {
    byte[] ret = null;
    try {
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream ( name + ".class" );
    ret = new byte[in.available ()];
    in.read ( ret );
    } catch ( Exception e ) {
    e.printStackTrace ();
    return ret;
    The loading of the class works fine
    ClassLoader cl = new MyClassLoader ();
    Class c = cl.loadClass ( "Impl" );
    Object i = c.newInstance ();
    Impl impl = (Impl)i;
    The class "Impl" was found and instanciated. But the cast "Impl impl = (Impl)i;" causes a
    "java.lang.ClassCastException: Impl"
    May second idea was deleting all instances of the class to unload from the class loader via reflection.
    A strange way I know but if this is the only way I will do it. But this doesn't work too.
    After deleting the class from the class loader and all its parents the class is still anywhere in the depth
    of the VM.
    Can anybody help me with this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Axel.

    I made a similar and simpler program and it worked:
    import java.net.URLClassLoader;
    import java.net.URL;
    public class DynamicExtension {
         public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
              URL[] ua = new URL[] {  new URL("file://c:\\TEMP\\") };
              URLClassLoader ucl = new URLClassLoader(ua);
              MyLoadable l =
                   (MyLoadable) ucl.loadClass("LoadableObject").newInstance();
              l.printVersion();
              Thread.currentThread().sleep(10000);
    //you have ten seconds to replace the old version of the LoadableObject.class file
    //so yo?d better had compiled the new one before executing this
              ucl = new URLClassLoader(ua);
              l = (MyLoadable) ucl.loadClass("LoadableObject").newInstance();
              l.printVersion();
              ucl = null;
              l = null;
              System.gc();
    public class LoadableObject implements MyLoadable {
         public void printVersion() {
              System.out.println("version 1");
         protected void finalize() {
              System.out.println("finalizing " + this);
    public interface MyLoadable {     void printVersion();  }
    C:\Java\TIJ2\Test>java DynamicExtension
    version 1
    version 2
    finalizing LoadableObject@1bd03e
    finalizing LoadableObject@4abc9
    The ClassCastException was due to the fact that one class was loaded by the system class loader, the one that appers as Impl impl = (Impl), and the other by MyClassLoader. That mean that they are different for the VM because they are in different namespaces: The namespace for MyClassLoader is the set of classes loaded by itself and those returned to it by his parent class loader as a result of a request to MyClassLoader?s parent class loader to load a class.
    Setting null for the parent of MyClassLoader was in fact the cause of the problem, because that caused a call to a native method called findBoostrapClass. I guess this method looks for the classes in the bootstrap classpath where MyClassLoader shouldn?t be. This causes MyClassLoader loaded the class itself. If MyClassLoader had had the system class loader as its parent the result had been that only one classloader would have loaded the class. This is what happens in the example above so no ClassCastException is thrown.
    In the source code for ClassLoader
    there is the following:
    * The classes loaded by this class loader. The only purpose of this
    * table is to keep the classes from being GC'ed until the loader
    * is GC'ed.
    private Vector classes = new Vector(); /*
    and:
    * Called by the VM to record every loaded class with this loader.
    void addClass(Class c) {
    classes.addElement(c);
    I would like to have seen findLoadedClass checking the already loaded classes in this Vector, but this method is native. Anyway, as the code for loadClass shows, the parent or bootstrap classloader is checked if findLoadedClass doesn?t find the class; Can we guess that findLoadedClass only checks the clases loaded by the classloader, not its parent?
    By the way, could an example like this be made in c++?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

  • N73: restore doesn't work after firmware update

    Hello!
    I just made a firmware update to my N73 with NSU, and the procedure completed with no errors.
    Just before the update I made a backup with the application in the phone menu; the app wrote a backup.arc file in the MMC.
    After the update I tried to restore the backup via the same app.
    Here's the problem: the app seems to work (but the "restore" lasts just 1-2 seconds), the phone reboots, but nothing is restored.
    Googleing aroung I found a solution: buy the Noki 1.7 software, extract SMS, contacts and files from the backup.arc, and put everything back on the phone...
    Is there another solution that doesn't involve buying this 3rd party software?
    TIA

    The phone is working well...
    I have been searching in internet, and there'a a lot of people with the same problem. Everybody tells to use PC Suite to backup... if I only knew before.

  • Restoring doesn't work

    Restoring my iPod Video doesn't seem to work as every time I restore it, it only continues to ask me to restore over and over again to no avail. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the iPod itself that needs service or if there's been a small step in Apple's support that I've overlooked.
    (All my iPod and iTunes software is up to date and I've just recently restarted my computer and updated/reinstalled my USB devices)

    Hi GenericUsername,
    It sounds like you might be having a issue of drive letter confusion here.
    Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter, by following the instructions from this Knowledge Base article, here:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive
    Also, you could try reformatting your iPod in FAT32 format, followed by a restore in iTunes, by following these steps:
    1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
    2 - When iTunes has finished syncing with your iPod, open "My Computer".
    3 - Right-click on your iPod, and click on "Format". (If your iPod is not showing in My Computer, make sure that disk use is enabled in iTunes).
    4 - Here, verify that your formatting settings are "Default", with the format type set for FAT32. Also, make sure that "Quick Scan" is not selected.
    5 - Then, click on "OK" to begin the formatting process.
    6 - When this is complete (it might take a while), make sure to restore your iPod in iTunes again, so as to properly reload the firmware back onto it again.

  • Songs replays over and over, tried restoring doesn't work.

    With my new iPod shuffle sometimes it replays songs and I had to skip, but then sometimes it can continuously loop the same song over and over.

  • Installed 4.0.1, bookmarks not migrated, backup exists but restore doesn't work. How do I get my bookmarks back?

    I upgraded to 4.0.1 today. After upgrading, I looked for my bookmarks but they were not present. I attempted to use the restore function. It appears to work, but still no bookmarks. I looked at my profile directory and the file I attempted to restore from under 'bookmarkbackups' has valid data in it. Why does restore not work? How do I get my bookmarks back?

    Woo,
    I reinstall the firefox (3.6.4 ) again. Then all of the above problems are gone. So, no need to worry....

  • White Screen - Hard reset, restore doesn't work

    So my iphone just passed it's warranty by 11 days. It is a 3G 8gb. I noticed the white screen thing and googled it. I found out how to do a reset with the home button and power, did that. Fixed it for a brief few minutes. Then white screen again. So I did the restore in itunes. Fixed it for a few minutes, then white screen again. All the functions of my phone work fine. I don't think I have ever dropped the thing. It has a hard case. Anyways, i can play with the phone by trying to bend it and the white screen disappears and goes back to normal. Then the slightest touch will set it back to white. Very strange, its very touch sensitive and I can manipulate it to get it to clear sometimes. My question is what is causing this and can it be fixed without going through apple? I pretty much have to buy a new phone, but upgrade to 3Gs isn't possible for 6 months. Thanks

    If an iPhone reset, restoring with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, and restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup does not resolve it, I don't believe you have another option besides going through Apple.
    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange which will include a warranty.
