Restore: How to check whether most recent back up is in iTunes or iCloud?
After the most recent update, my phone went into recovery mode and I can't get around going back to factory settings.
As I was looking at posts about how to restore, I saw a screen shot that shows the options "Restore from iCloud" and "Restore from iTunes".
Problem: I don't remember if my last backup was with iCloud or iTunes. I remember looking at both options a few months back but don't remember if I changed from one to the other or not.
Question: Is there a way to see where the most recent backup is (that is, iCloud or iTunes) without committing to choosing one or the other? How can I check what my most recent settings were?
I also have an iPad, and under "iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Backups" it shows my iPhone, and latest backup date for iPhone via iCloud (January). I believe I have backed up since then. If iCloud isn't showing a later backup date, would that indicate that I switched to iTunes for backup at some point after that date?
I want to restore from the latest one so I lose as little data as possible!
Thank you~
Hey kinsola!
It looks like you have already found the page that shows you what backups you have saved in iCloud and the dates associated with this one, so here is an article that will help you see your iTunes backups and the dates associated with those so that you may compare and find the backup you want to restore from:
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
I will highlight the portion of that article that I believe will be most helpful below. This section will navigate you to the information about the iTunes backups, but you don’t have to follow the information about deleting any backups unless you feel like you need to delete any old backups:
Deleting a backup in iTunes
If you want to delete a backup created by iTunes, follow these steps:
Open iTunes Preferences:
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences
Click Devices (the iOS device doesn't need to be connected).
iTunes will show the phone number, IMEI, and serial number of the backed up iPhone when you position your mouse pointer over a backup (iTunes shows only the serial number for iPad and iPod touch). You can use this to find the backup you want to delete.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Braden

my iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?
also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ -
I've back-up the iPhone 5 several times now then connected the iPhone 5s but the back-up isn't listed. In fact the most recent back-up available is Nov 2013 but I've been backing up each fortnight.
If the 5S is already active, you will not see the backup for another device. You will need to erase the 5S back to factory default, and when prompted during the setup, choose restore from backup instead of setup as new.

I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I just want the old version of it back since I apparently can't download the Adobe stuff that is necessary to keep my computer safe from Hackers. It sure would have been nice to know there was an issue with the new Firefox Update BEFORE I uploaded it. I have Vista which is usually an issue with both Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run much of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox openedI have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

Your system status should tell you that. Any logged in screen of your solution manager system --> Status. Component Version should be as "SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0" to be Ehp1 or "SAP Solution Manager 7.0"
Hope this answers your question.

How to check Whether the File is in Progress or used by some other resource
Hi All,
I am retrieving a file from the FTP server using Apache commons FTP.
I need to check whether the file is fully retrieved or in progress.
for now i can able to use the file which is partially retrieved. it is not throwing any file sharing exception or i am unable to find whether it is in progress.
How to check whether the file is in progress ? or The file is accessed by some other resource ?
Pls Help me.
Thanks,
J.KathirHi Vamsi,
Explicitly such kind of requirement has not been catered and i dont think you would face a problem because any application that is writing to a file will open the file in the read only mode to any other simultaneous applications so i think your concerns although valid are already taken care off .
In the remote case you still face a problem then as a work around. Tell the FTP administrator to set the property to maximum connections that can be made to ftp as one. I wonder if you have heard of the concept of FTP handle , basically the above workaround is based on that concept itself. This way only one application will be able to write.
The file adapter will wait for its turn and then write the files.
Regards
joel

My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same. Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

It may be in the process of making room. What version of OSX are you on? (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network; Lion has improved it greatly.)
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. That should help you figure out what's going on. If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster. -
How to check whether the Application Server directory exits or not
Hi,
I have a selection screen in which I give the Application server file name(UNIX file) as input. Here, I would like to check whether the Server directory exists or not.
Let us say, the path I gave in the selection screen is /usr/sap/tmp/testfile.txt . Here, the file name is testfile.txt and the server directory is /usr/sap/tmp . I would like to check whether this directory /usr/sap/tmp exists in the server or not. I am not bothered about the file name as I am going to write data into the file. I am mainly concerned about whether the directory exists in the server or not. and one more thing... this is the Application Server path not the Local path.
Can anyone help me on the same how to check whether the server directory exists or not.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Pradeep.Also you can use the FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING for this purpose.
Store the directory name
l_dpath = p_file+0(l_no).
Validate the directory of the application server
CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'
EXPORTING
dir_name = l_dpath
TABLES
dir_list = l_i_dlist
EXCEPTIONS
invalid_eps_subdir = 1
sapgparam_failed = 2
build_directory_failed = 3
no_authorization = 4
read_directory_failed = 5
too_many_read_errors = 6
empty_directory_list = 7
OTHERS = 8.
If any problem occurs with the directory then display proper
error message
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
Display error message
