Restored phone from old backup have i lost my new photos?

I was given a replacement iphone 4 because mine was stolen. After using the phone for a couple of weeks - and taking lots of photos on it - I plugged in my phone to my macbook in order to back up the new photos I had taken on the phone. While I was on itunes I was asked if I wanted to restore my old phone settings and install new software, and i said yes. It asked me if i wanted to carry on with this while the phone was synching with the computer and i said yes.
But then I saw photos from my OLD phone on my phone and also loading onto iphoto, with the computer asking if I wanted to download them.
I then couldn't find my NEW photos on my phone or on iphoto.
Have I lost the new photos?
I went into 'finder' on my computer, found 'backup; and can see hundreds of files, with the time that I was restoring my phone at same time as i was installing new software -
Are these files my new photos?
And how can i open them?
Thank you!

yes, you have. Restoring your phone from the other backup wiped out any previous data you had on your phone. Since you never backed up before, there's no way to get any of those data back.

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?

Itunes restored phone with old backup...

Hi.
The past two times I have synched my phone with my itunes It has seemed like it has synched absolutely fine, as it usually does, taking the usual amount of time etc. Both times I have restored it with a backup as I often do since 'other' ends up using up much of my memory If I don't restore it every now and then. When I've done the restore It's somehow restored it with a backup from January, meaning every message, photo I have taken/saved.....anything from before January has been deleted. I was super cautious after last time so when I was checking to restore from my backup I made 100% sure It was the most recent backup from today I was restoring it with.
As soon as it was all complete, I went on my phone to discover it's done the same again. I dont' know if this is a synching issue or a restore issue but I'm upset that I have lost 5 months worth of things.
Does anyone know what the issue could be?

When you clicked on restore, after restoring, you should have had the choice to restore from backup. How often do you backup the phone? If you have done another backup/sync since you restored the phone, the old backup may have been overwritten. You can connect the phone and choose restore from backup and see if there is an old backup listed. Remember if you restore to that backup, anything that was done since that time will be lost as well.

Please Help - restore iphone from old backup

Dear Applers,
i got very complectated case,
i use Apple iPhone 3G (3.1.3) & Mac Book Pro (iTunes 10)
i took backup for my phone at 12 pm, at 5 pm i deleted my messages by accident and when i connected my mobile to the computer to get back my things the computer automaticilty synced my mobile and took a new backup at 5 pm.
when i right click > restore, the computer show me that the last backup is at 5pm which is i dont want because it doesnt have my data, i want to be able to restore from the backup that i took earlier that day.
i tried to go to Users/ Library / Application Support / Mobile Backup and i found that my old files still their beside the new files
i tried to delete my new backup files from this directory so that way it take the backup before it. it didnt work .. it just deleted every thing
i really dont know what to do i feel like my data is here but i cant access it
Please Help,
Thanks

To be able to read the content of those files inside the backup folder, you'll have to use special software like "backup extractor" http://supercrazyawesome.com/ for example. But don't use the original folder to test, copy it to another place on your HD and use this copy to try.
Some files are not replaced when a backup is made, only files that changed in data are replaced, as far as I know.

When restoring phone from iTunes backup can you choose what to put back on phone?

I got the iPhone 6 Plus and instead of restoring from iCloud backup I have to restore from iTunes backup, but I don't want to include my music just to have some more space left on my new phone. Is there a way to restore without my music??

Perhaps I've just confused everyone. In iTunes your media can be checked or unchecked. Unchecked items are usually not synced. By unchecking media in the library before restoring a device that was previously set up to include media it should be the case that no media is restored during the sync. Once the restore is complete you can then adjust sync options, recheck your content and sync your new selections. Since an entire class of media can be checked or unchecked with a simple ctrl-click this has the potential to speed up the restore phase considerably.

How to restore/duplicate from old backup

Hi All,
RMAN Version : 10.2.0.4
Repository Version : 10.2.0.4
OS : AIX 6.1
Target Database : 10.2.0.4
I have set the RMAN retention policy to 10 days for my database say "BCMT1". I have duplicated this database successfully to "RTEST", but i have restored from backup within the recovery window period.
what if, i want to duplicate/restore backup which is older then 10days and which is marked obsoleted & deleted from RMAN repository but available on tape ?
Below is script to detele the obsolete backup:
run
crosscheck backup;
DELETE NOPROMPT EXPIRED BACKUP;
DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE RECOVERY WINDOW OF 10 days;
}Script to duplicate the database:
run
allocate channel DSK1 type DISK;
allocate auxiliary channel DSK2 type DISK;
set until time "to_date('09/24/10 17:00:00','MM/DD/YY hh24:mi:ss')";
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO RTEST1;
}Below are configuration parameters:
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 10 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/oraclebackup/BCMT1/%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default

CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/orapltp1/product/10.2/dbs/snapcf_BCMT1.f'; # defaultCan the catalog command be used to register the old backups with RMAN repository and then restore from those backups ?

Thanks for quick response...
Again one question.....
Since i have deleted the obsolete backups, that means this information is also gone from RMAN repository too.
Here is the Scenario:
1) I have backups available on disk from 23rd Sep 2010 To 2nd OCT 2010, So, i can easily restore/duplicate my database with in this time period. (RMAN repository have this information)
2) I have backups available on tape from 1st AUG 2010 To 1st 22nd Sep 2010. Now, if i need to restore/duplicate database to 26th Aug 2010. I have deleted the obsolete backups, so information gone from repository. How to proceed ?

I went to upload new music to my husbands phone (5c) which had never been plugged in to our computer. I accidentaly hit restore from old iphone, and now his phone is restored to his old iphone. He lost all new contacts,and photos,etc.Can he get this back?

It replaced everything with old phots, ringtones, sounds, and his homepage for safari is different.

Reset the phone in settings and when the set up gives you the option to back up from iTunes or iCloud. It's possible to get most of the lost information back if you back up from iCloud after resetting the phone.

New iPhone restore from old backup and lost new photos

Hi there
I recently got a iphone 5 and from the excitement of seeing Obama in cape town, took pictures of his speech and even recorded my friends shaking his hand and have brief converstaions. Now when i connected the new phone into my mac, itunes requested a restore from old backup. So agreed, not knowing that all the new photos / movies of the US president would be deleted!!!
Can i reftieve them or not. and why doenst Apple provide such informaition to users for new restorations?
Please help!

Same problem. My wife lost her iPhone 3Gs while on vacation. Purchased iPhone 5 on the trip and took pictures with it. When we got back home I clicked restore from a previous backup and all the pictures disappeared.
I wonder if Apple is reading this thread. ?????????
NO... What did you expect the phone to do when you restore from a backup.
You should've imported the new pics to your computer as you would a digital camera..

How do I get my new iphone restored with my old backup? my old iphone had ios5 and the replacement phone i got has ios4 and it wont let me backup my phone because it doesnt have ios4... i cant get ios5 without restoring my iphone and backing it uo

Basically, i need all my old stuff from my iphone 4 with ios5 onto my new iphone 4. The new phone i received only had ios4. I went to get all my contacts and backup from my old phone onto my new phone and it wont let me because my new phone is only ios4 and my backup from my old phone was in ios5. I cant get ios5 on my phone without creating a new backup of my new phone, which has nothing on it. If i restore it as a new phone and backup virtually nothing from my new phone, will that get rid of all my old backup stuff from my old iphone?

Bottom line is you CANNOT restore to a phone from a backup that has a more recent iOS which is what you're trying to do. Just can't be done.

Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

Hi! I have lost mail for a month and I want to ask you to restore it from the backup.

hi! I have lost mail for a month and I want to ask you to restore it from the backup.

Nobody here can restore your email for you - we're just other Apple users like yourself.
Responsibility for backing up email is yours, so you'll have to restore it from your own backups.

Hard disk crashed, restored data from tape backup, Firefox not showing bookmarks. What is the location of bookmarks & favourites to ensure I have restored the correct file?

Hard disk crashed (XP), restored files from tape backup using Retrospect onto new Windows 7 laptop. Started up Mozilla after restore but bookmarks and favourites are missing.
I still have access to the backup tape and files. I was wondering whether the bookmarks are kept anywhere special other than the Mozilla program file that I restored.

HT4946 When I restore my phone from a backup, isnt it suppose to give me all my apps back as well??

When I restore my phone from a backup, isn't it suppose to give me back all my apps as well?

No it is not, a back up holds App Data but not the app itself
Apps are transfereed to iTunes by a method called "Transfer purchases" aswel as all purchases from the itunes or app store on the device.
If the apps are on iTunes you need to sync them back to the iPhone.
If the apps are not on iTunes on your pc/mac make sure you are signed into the correct Apple ID then go to App Store>Updates>Purchases here it will show you a list of the apps you have downloaded/purchased with that Apple ID. To download them simply click the cloud button with the arrow in the middle to the right of the app.
