Restore incremental back up from Idisk  OSX 10.4.11

Backed up Contacts using Backup program via Idisk to MobileMe (or .Mac). Trying to restore Contacts to the Address Book following a complete reformat. Open application Backup, choose Restore. Window opens asking, "where is backup you want to restore". Choose Idisk but the Backup folder is grayed out. Can you restore these incremental backups to your computer?
Thanks in advance...

seems like we are facing the same problem. All tech supports indicates I can go for Leopard but not Snow Leopard because we do not have at least 1Gb Ram

    I did a back up from my iPhone 4 on iTunes but I don't seem to be able to restore on my new 5c

    Restoring from an older iOS to a newer iOS version is fine.  It's going the other way that would be a problem.
    You do need a late version of iTunes on your computer to be able to work with the new iPhone.  The current iTunes version is 11.1.3.  If your iTunes is old, download the latest from

  • How do I restore the back up from my old iPhone 5 which is IOS 8.1.3 to my new iPhone 6 which is IOS 8? It's not coming up as an available back up restore option?

    How do I restore the back up from my old iPhone 5 which is IOS 8.1.3 to my new iPhone 6 which is IOS 8? It's not coming up as an available back up restore option? Am I able to set up as a new iPhone and then update the new phone to IOS 8.1.3 and then restore from my old iPhone 5 back up at that stage?

    Setup your new phone, then update to iOS 8.1.3. Once done: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings". At the setup screen you'll now be able to select your old phone's backup.

  • HT204053 How do I restore a back up from two weeks ago from my icloud to my iphone

    How do I restore a back up from two weeks ago from my icloud to my iphone

    If you apps are still in iTunes, you should be able to sync them back to your computer.  Otherwise, if you have iOS 5 (5.01) on your phone you could redownload them by launching Apps, press the Purchased button at the bottom, press Purchased at the top, then Not On This Phone.  This will list your apps and allow you to redownload them.  If you've purchased apps using multiple Apple IDs, you will have to sign in to each of these IDs to be able to download all your apps (by going to Settings>Store>tap on the Apple ID, sign out, sign back in using another ID).

    Your entire second paragraph is so confusing I am going to ignore it.
    But I may be able to answer your first and third paragraphs, which seem to address the same question.
    I wonder where your iPhone states it was backed up yesterday.  I am going to assume that you see this under Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    If that is true, then the backup from yesterday is in iCloud.  The one and only way to restore an iCloud backup is to do this on your iPhone:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    That will cause your iPhone to begin a setup process.  As part of that process, assuming you enter the same Apple ID you used when you created the iCloud backup, you will be offered the opportunity to restore from it.

  • I want to restore a back up from icloud from last year but it has disappeared! can i recover older backups?

    I want to restore a back up from icloud from last year but it has disappeared! can i recover older backups?

    No, once removed, backups cannot be recovered.  Also, Apple will remove backups after 180 days of inactivity, which sounds like what happened here.

    when i plug my phone into itunes it is wanting me to restore my back up from my previous iphone which I do not want, what do i do?

    If you are concerned that iTunes will really set it up as a new phone and wipe your data, then create an iCloud backup first, and then use iTunes.

  • Trying to restore and back up from icloud but its asking me for someone elses password....?

    Hello, I had to restore my phone to get the new ios7 and now its asking me where I want to back up from. I want to do it from icloud and when I type in my apple id and password, then I agree to terms, Then it asks me to sign into tunes and gives me a random email (Iwatts30@yahoo) and asks me for the password... which obviously i dont have. Any suggestions here...

    The phone is asking for a password, or the backup is asking for a password?
    If it's the backup, then it's whatever password was set up for that data backup.
    If it's the phone passcode lock, then you need to restore the phone first.

  • Restoring old iweb site from idisk

    THrough sheer ignorance, I created a "new Site" in iweb, not realizing it would replace my exiting website, which is far more important. I want to restore my old site. I am able to access the old site through idisk, but have no idea how to relink it so that it reappears as my website. (Someone suggested opening the index.html in plain text editor and correcting the URL, but I have no idea how to do that. Tried opening it in "text Edit" and no URL is there)
    Appreciate any help!!!! This is killing me!

    TextEdit is what is says - it is an html editor so that you use it to edit html code, so not url will show up as it does in Safari etc. Safari is a browser and TextEdit does what it says on the tin - edits html code.
    The easiest way is to go back into iWeb and open your domain file with the site on it and re-publish all of that site and it will be back at the top again. That is assuming that you have the relevant domain fiel and have not deleted it?
    If you publish another site in iWeb, assuming that they have different names, they will not cancel each other out, but what will happen is that the second published site will be at the top, so all you need do is re-publish your original site from iWeb and it will be back at the top again.
    You can always get to all your iWeb sites via the url http://web.me.com/username/sitename so Site1, Site2 etc.

    theres the article to uninstall itunes properly. follow the step 1 completely and then reinstall itunes.
    if that doesnt work then the problem is either antivirus on ur pc or its ur phone.

  • Does the sms cache come back after a restore and back up from icloud

    My phone is running sluggish and I want to do a restore. In addition to this I would like to get rid of my old deleted messages that still appear in spotlight search. I'm
    Not country in the same country as my mac so I can't back up via iTunes. I was going to back up with icloud and imatch. I have two concerns though before I do this.
    1. Will all my old sms caches just come back with all those deleted messages I had. Are they saved in my last back up or will they disappear as there saved to the phone itself (which will be wiped via the restore0)?
    2. Secondly I want to get my old music back and as I'm away from home for over a year I need to do this via imatch. Will my imatch subscription still work and will it bring in all my music I had previously.
    Thanks for any help.

    currently in the same country*

  • HT1766 How to restore iCloud Back Up from an Older iPhone Model to New

    I lost my iPhone recently. I purchased the latest version (my previous version was older model), and attempted to restore an icloud back up that had all my photos / music, but it won't let me. Keeps telling me my account has been locked, and to reset password, but I've already done all that / verified applied ID, etc. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I need to get my photos / music off of iCloud. I also pay for storage so I'm not sure why it's holding my stuff hostage.

    Restoring from an older iOS to a newer iOS version is fine.  It's going the other way that would be a problem.
    You do need a late version of iTunes on your computer to be able to work with the new iPhone.  The current iTunes version is 11.1.3.  If your iTunes is old, download the latest from
