Restored from backup
Users do not have permission to open their folders within their home folders.
Is there a way I can restore permissions on the home folders for each user in bulk, I really do not want to restore permissions manually per user 1500 times
any help appreciated

Hi Agebrah,
If you set up your iPhone prior to your restore from backup, have iCloud, and had Photo Stream turned on, there is a chance that those photos may be in your Photo Stream. You may find the information in the following article helpful:

  • "iCloud Restore from Backup" gives error "Incorrect Apple ID or Password"

    I have an iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.2) that was just replaced at the Genius Bar today due to some intermittent camera and home button issues.
    Everything was normal when starting up the newly exchanged phone that they gave me. It gets through the activation step in the startup process and when I get to the screen to select "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter my Apple ID and password it instantly spits out an alert that says: 
    Incorrect Apple ID or Password
    Try another Apple ID
    (  OK  )
    I have entered, what I know to be, the correct username and password now 10+ times and it gives me the same message.  I know it's correct because I am able to login to icloud.com, appleid.apple.com, the app store on my iPad normally with the same login credentials and everything works.  But something about the startup screen is not accepting my username and password.  They fishy thing about it is that it doesnt seem to check for the server, it just seems to tell me its incorrect before even taking the time to check whether it's incorrect or not.
    Naturally, the next thing I did was a DFU restore of the phone to make sure it wasnt a software issue and that it had the lastest software update.  All the same results.  If I go down the path of "Set up as new iPhone" it activates normally and then I can even log into iCloud normally from inside the OS once I've gotten there.  That, however, does not help me get my backup text messages, photos, apps, app data, etc.
    Anyone else having this issue? I never usually have issues with my iPhone/iPad and this one is especially infuriating.
    Any help/information would be much appreciated.

    Freddie,
    I associated my Apple ID in their system as an Apple Reseller account because I was working for a third-party Apple Authorized Dealer a few months ago.  After that point, this is when I noticed this happened.
    Tier 2 of AppleCare told me they believe this is the reason I've been having problems being able to restore because Apple Reseller accounts are not "iCloud Eligible"
    I replied and told them it was ok for them to remove my account as reseller status and after multiple attempts to reach the advisor assigned to my case, he stopped responding.
    I fear I may be out of luck.  Are you by any chance an Apple reseller or associated with an Apple reseller?

  • Why am getting a "error occurred while restoring from backup" message when restoring using Time Machine?

    Hello
    I recently made a Bootcamp partition with Windows 7 (which incidentally went absolutely fine).  In that partition I wanted to split it for some certain files, but on doing so I appear to have completely tanked my hard drive - I've pretty much wiped the entire thing.  I read afterwards that creating new partitions within Windows is a big no no Bootcamp wise, and this wasn't something I knew about before.  Lesson learnt!
    Either way, I had a backup and though it would be simple enough to restore from that backup, but about 2% in it it pops up "an error has occurred while restoring from backup, please restart and try again".  After a few tries, this didn't work, so now I'm worried that my backup is corrupt.
    I'm not sure why the backup would be corrupt as this was made with no problems as normal.
    I've already tried the standard restore with no success (obviously), and I've also tried re-installing the OS up to the first boot, then trying to restore (thinking that the error was a result of a missing Recovery HD, which the re-install would create) and this was with no success also.
    My final idea was to just erase the drive and re-install the OSX, and then when it prompts me, restore the files from the Time Capsule.
    Am I onto the right idea, or is there another way around this?  I'm just very worried that my backup has become corrupted for some reason and I've lost everything on there.
    Specs are:
    MacBook Pro Mid 2012 OS X 10.8.5;
    Bootcamp 5 (Windows 7);

    I'd agree. As long as you've gone this far, I'd probably start from scratch with your MBP, back up any critical files on it, wipe the whole thing, and do a nice clean reinstall.
    I'd try to repair the backup drive with disk utilty and then see if you can restore the minimum of essential documents from it to the MBP. If Disk Utility can't fix it there is a small chance that a third party utility like diskwarrior or techtool could repair it. DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery or Techtool Pro 7
    If you can get your essential documents off the backup drive, then I'd wipe it and put a new time machine backup on it. If that doesn't work, then I'd replace the drive.

  • Error code: 16 when restoring from backup file

    I've just restored my macbook pro and tried to restore from backup Photoshop file, now I get the code Error: 16. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you!
    Roferr

    Open the Terminal.app
    Copy and paste:   sudo chmod -R 777 /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe
    Press Enter and supply your password if asked.
    If that does not work, do a reinstall from the discs or installer.
    Migrating Adobe programs from another Mac or restoring from Time Machine breaks the licensing.

  • Restore from backup gives a cryptic error - help please!

    Hi,
    I have a iPhone Classic (pre 3G), with Software v 2.0
    I wanted to get back some files that an application created (recorder) which got erased on upgrading the application!
    So, I did a restore from backup operation via iTumes v 7.7
    My phone is restored to factory settings, and when proceeding to the next step with the screen
    "Restore from backup of..", I simply get an error after lot of disk churn
    "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "xxx" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored.
    I am very disappointed lately with a series of issues with Leopard and now with the iPhone.
    Thank you in advance.
    Anand

    I had the same exact problem. I decided to quit iTunes (praying it would work upon reopening). I got the same error message on the first 5 backups I tried. Eventually a back-up from almost 2 months ago worked. I lost a lot of info but was thankful it worked.
    Oh wait! Well I'll be darned. It DIDN'T work. As soon as it was "done" restoring, it brought me to the same "Set Up Your iPhone" screen. Only to go through the same thing again.
    Bottom line: 2.0 Software/7.0 iTunes are completely screwed up. I'm thoroughly ****** off.

  • Ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • How to restore from backup when there is always a code -50 error ?

    I recently upgraded my iphone 4 from OS4 to OS5. 
    Everything went well until the phone prompts me to connect to itunes (the cable to itunes picture).  itunes keeps on giving an error saying restore cannot be done and the code is -50.
    I'm thinking of "restoring from backup" option in itunes, but is there a possibility of the error coming out again ?  Currently I have the apps recovered, but not the contact list.

    After reading your post I had a look at "man
    reconstruct". I'm not clear about the "f" flag, you
    suggest it, and the man page says "useful for
    restoring backups" - but the example on the man page
    does not use the "f" flag. I'm not sure whether I
    should / shouldn't use it.
    Up to you to decide whether to trust the man page or me
    Just kidding. The -f flag will make sure subfolders containing messages will be take into account as well.
    But you are saying
    that if I just reconstruct the ONE mailbox then it is
    only that one where I need to fix the ACLs? That is
    much better!!
    Yes, just that one. (Unless your database is already broken for some reason and you need to do a full reconstruct, but you should see this in the logs)

  • IPod touch 5th gen restore from backup error

  • Is it possible to retrieve a backup that is not available on the drop-down bar in iTunes "restore from backup"?

    I was attempting to sync my phone so that I could get all of my pictures on the computer to free up some space on my phone. I have done this several times before with no problems. An error message popped up informing me that I needed to update my phone before I could sync my info. During the update, an error occured again so I tried to eject the device so that I could worry about it another day. After ejecting the phone, it kept showing on the display that it was still connected to itunes. I couldnt turn the phone off or anything, it was just frozen there. So, I hooked it back up to the computer and it prompted me to do an update on itunes to fix the problem. After updating itunes it said that i should restore the phone to it's original settings and then restore from backup. It performed a backup when I initially plugged the phone in the first time. After deleting everything off of my phone, I then attempted to restore from backup but got an error message saying that there was not enough free space on my device for me to restore my info...but I had just taken it off the phone. I stepped away from the computer for a moment and when I got back, it had performed another backup of my basically blank device. Now the only backups that I can pull up on itunes are from after everything was deleted from my phone. All of my information is gone. I know this doesn't really make any sense, but I have no idea how else to word it or how to fix it. PLEASE help! I have several pictures of my newborn son and pictures and videos of my husband's recovery process from a severe brain injury.

  • HT4946 cannot find itunes backup on my PC (win xp). want to move over to external hard drive to restore from backup bc PC not enough space

    i just restored my ipad2 to iOS 6.1.3 yesterday. i have been trying to restore from backup, but i keep getting error messages from itunes (running latest version of itunes) that says there is not enough space to save the backup on the computer. i have tried clearing up as much space on my PC (windows xp), but there is still not enough room. and ive tried disk cleanup on my computer and resetting the ipad and running it through recovery mode (as some articles sugggested it would help with restoring after failed attempts). i read on another question in the apple support discussions that someone just moved his whole backup folder into his external harddrive and then he was able to restore from backup.
    the backup is definitely saved on my computer (itunes confirms that), and the backup folder is supposed to be here  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\, but im still not finding it with that file path. i get as far as "username" and then i dont see "application data" and so on. but when i try searching that file path in google chrome, i find it and i see it, but its strange that i cant find it in the "docs and settings" folder in my C drive.
    please help! i just want to be able to move the backup folder to my external to restore from backup. thank you in advance!!

    Thank you! I was able to find it. Im sorry, i have a few follow up questions. Does the iTunes have to be running from my external as well to do the restore from backup? And if so, how do I move iTunes to external and run it from there? Also, I just copied over the "backup" folder (last part of that file path to my external, is that enough, or did I have to copy it starting from the beginning (docs and settings and so forth)? Lastly, when I select restore from backup in iTunes, would it automatically know that it's the copy on my external to restore backup from? Or do I have to delete or do something with the original file path in my computer?
    Thank you!

    I think it's QuickTime player causing the problem, when I try to open it I get the windows error that an error has occured
    Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
    Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
    Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
    If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
    (If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • HT1766 i am trying to restore my iPad from a backup.  I do not get the option of restoring from backup.... I only get restore to orginal settings?

    I was attempting to update my ipad to the newest OS system and it crashed... I came back with it saying that it had an error and did not update.  Now I only get the iTunes logo on the ipad witht he usb cord picture. 
    I have gone into iTunes & it says I have to do a restore.  But it does not give me the RESTORE from Backup option.  Only the Restore to Factory Settings.  Is this normal?
    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Hi I am trying to restore my iphone from the itunes back and  it is asking me for a password, I don't ever remember putting a password in. how do i get the password reset?
    You can't get it reset; if you could there would be no point in having it. If you have an encrypted backup there are two ways this could have happened:
    You checked "Encrypt Backup" in iTunes at some time in the past, either intentionally or by accident
    You have a corporate MS Exchange account and your Exchange administrator installed a security profile on your phone that requires the phone'a contents to be encrypted. This, in turn, requires the backup to be encrypted for obvious reasons.
    In either case you were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after whichever of these happened. So think about what you might have entered for a password at that time. Fortunately you get an unlimited number of tries. Other threads on this subject have shown that it is always a password known to the user, so it wasn't something made up by iTunes. Also, everyone who has figured it out has found it to be a different password type, so try your Apple ID password, your computer's login password, your WiFi password, your corporate domain password, etc. And try passwords that may have been changed since your first backup. As a last resort there is a professional password cracker available, but it isn't cheap - it's targeted at the law enforcement market - from Elcomsoft. There are also some scam password crackers available that don't actually work and possibly steal your information. It's likely that a developer of one or more of these will post a response with a link (possibly hidden) to their "product". So before clicking any links you might want to install the Web of Trust plugin that keeps track of scam sites and warns you. http://www.mywot.com.

  • Block corruption - cant restore from backup

    Hi,
    we have development database 11.2.0.1. There was problem with storage, and as a result there are two corrupted blocks in data files.
