Restore iphone from previous back up

I have recently deleted lots of apps, info from my iPhone 5, thinking I would restore it from a back up later. But when I connect to I-tunes, it only gives me the option of restoring from the most recent back up, or some from over a year ago.. I want to restore it to a back up from two weeks ago, but I can't find it, or none of the hundreds of back ups I've done in the past year, can this be done? Or are those back ups gone? Thanks if u can help

The password would be either your iTunes ID password or your admin password for the Computer.

How to restore iPhone from a backed up backup

A customer of mine recently had her iPhone fail and has just received a replacement. During setting it up it seems she overwrote her previous backup and lost all her data. How that is even possible boggles the mind but luckily I had insisted on a previous occasion that she invest in some online backup. Happily this allowed me to retrieve a previous backup folder that does contain all her stuff. Now I can access all that stuff via iPhone backup extractor so I know it is a valid backup set that contains everything she needs BUT naturally she would prefer to have it all restored to her phone.
Sadly this old backup is not visible to iTunes and iTunes does not give us the option of restoring from another folder or a previous backup.
I tried replacing the contents of the current backup folder with the contents of the older one and restoring but that didn't work. The backup seemed to restore OK but none of the old stuff was copied back. Interestingly a new folder with a new UUID was created in there (unfortunately I didn't have time to try overwriting that folder).
So the question is: how can I restore this backup?
Best regards,
Roger

How to restore iPhone from previous backup

Hi all, I'm really hoping someone can help me. I tried updating the OS for my iphone thru iTunes. It backed up my phone,
then tried to do a restore (said time left was 19 hours - this lasted for about 7 hours before I unplugged the phone from computer).
I have located the last backup I would to be restored to my phone but when I plug my phone in to the computer and try to do a
'restore backup' it says the phone does not have any backups. iTunes does not recognize the last back up, how do I get it to recognize
it? I have lost everything off the phone and now it looks like a new phone to iTunes. HELP someone please!! Thank you!

When you activated and setup your new 5S, you should've had the option to restore from your backup.
If you have no data on your 5S - then go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipie your phone clean as new. Go thru the setup and you'll see restore from backup or set up as new, choose the icloud backup.

Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

Why is restoring iphone from back up taking so long?

why is restoring iphone from back up taking so long? i'm updating the software on my iphone 4 and started it yesterday... then my imac goes to sleep and not sure if the update is continuing... it says time remaining 31 minutes... then 33... 35... 37... it just keeps getting longer... what gives?

Hello,
How much data did you have on your iPhone? Usually this restore is a lengthy process, so I reccomend leaving it overnight.

Your error is connect to hardware, try these steps to solve it:
Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

If I restore my new iPhone from the back up of my old stolen one.. Will I still be able to track the stolen?

My iphone recently got stolen so I purchased a new one and plugged it into the computer and it gives me 2 options:
1. Set up as new phone
2. Restore from backup of "___'s phone"
If I restore it from the back up of my stolen phone, will I still be able to track the stolen phone still? Thanks

What I mean is still track my stolen one. I don't know if this will make sense to you but I'm thinking that if I restore the back up data on this phone..on my stolen phone it will like forget the icloud account or something and think this phone is the stolen one so when I go to track the stolen one, it will show that phone as the one I have now because I restored the back up from that phone.

How to restore iphone from an older back up

I have just upgraded my iphone 4s to IOS7. somehow my back up was not picked up properly after the installation.
I still have the old back up in the folder C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup.
How can i restore my iphone from this back as the option is not coming on the itunes version 11.1.0.126. i need my messages,contacts and pictures as they have all been lost.
Please assist

Restore the device again, when prompted to restore as new or from backup select from backup. iTunes will then prompt with the available backup options to restore from.
Sounds like you may have elected to not use the device as designed.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service. If this had been done it would be a simply matter of syncing the back.
Relying on an iPhone for sole storage of pictures/videos is extremely unintelligent. Like with all digital cameras, pictures/videos taken with the device should be copied off the device to a computer regularly to ensure they are not permanently lost in the event the device is lost/stolen or simply fails.

Help, I have just restored my iphone from last back up to retrieve vital messages that somehow disappeared. Now I have lost the most recent messages, calendar details and photos. How do I get them back?

I have an iPhone 5S

You restore from the backup that contained them.
Restoring from a backup is all or nothing. It completely overwrites the data in the phone when you restore. You can not combine the contents of a backup with what's currently on your phone.

Reinstalled maverick on Mac mini 2010 now can't restore files from previous backups

Reinstalled maverick on Mac mini 2010 now can't restore files from previous backups can't even roll back to previous setup

This is typical Mavericks.
Was the old backup taken from Mavericks install?
Did you already start TM from the new install and thus totally foul up and corrupt your old backup?
You will need to try migrate assistant.. and if that fails you will need to manually pull your files from the old backup if you can still access them.

I recently backed up my iPad and then I restored it to factory settings. Now, I want to restore it from the back up that I created, but it will not accept my Apple ID password. Is there any way that I can save my data?

Hi,
As I have said in the title, I was supposed to do a restore on my iPad for work. I backed up the device and then I restored it to factory settings as I was instructed. Now that all of that is complete, I tried to restore it from the back up point I created and it will not recognize my Apple ID password. I really hope that I won't lose all of my data, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried entering my password numerous times. I really hope that someone can help me.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.
