Restoring 620 from backup

Hi,
yesterday I got a problem when installing amber update on my Lumia 620. Then I back up the contents and restore the phone to factory settings. After installing update I add my Hotmail account but it is not getting my backup content.
what I want to restore from backup
call list, email account settings, IE favorites and history etc...
let me know how to proceed
-Lasith

Yes, call history also restores from the backup
From what I found te backup will hold:
  App list (these will be downloading to the phone automatically once the restore completes)
  SMS
  Call history
  Settings
  Accounts (will have to enter the password again)
While I can see you might want to use backup differently it actually works pretty good this way. You register a new phone and you can restore from any available backups linked to your account.

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

  • Recovering Mac HD via Time Machine Backup fails because "Restore system from backup" doesn't show in Utilities Menu of original install. DVD

    Hi, after serious problems (troubleshooting didn't help) with my iMac G5 (PPC) running Mac OS X Leopard I've tried to recover my Mac HD via Time Machine (exactly as described by David Pogue on page 242 of the Leopard Missing Manual). However, "Restore system from backup" in the Utilities Menu of my original Leopard installation DVD failed to show up. What can I do?
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated -

  • Restoring System from Backup

    When the mac os x cd installer is running you can go to "Utilities" and "Restore System from Backup". Does this command install snow leopard and then add the time machine files or does it just restore the files (meaning you will have to install Snow Leopard first).

    Have a read here How do I restore my entire system?
    It restores both the OSX system and the user files (applications and data).

  • Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

    Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so.  Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards.  I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me.  that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer.  I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

    In the stupidly hidden user's Library->/Application Support/AddressBook/ labeled as AddressBook-v22.abcddb

  • Restore Files from Backup on Vista Home Premium ; HP Pavilion m8120n

    Hello,
    I backed up files on HP personal media drive M:HP8120 and did a full System Recovery on my HP Pavilion m8120n. Now when I attempt to restore files from a backup made on this computer, the message says there are no backups available on this computer.  I tried advanced restore/Restore files from backup made on another computer or restore files for all users on this computer.  I can see the file in Select the Backup set to restore window.  I select the file and in the next window, select the date to restore from, I get the message “Backup location is not available.”  If I click next, in the select the files and folders to restore window, nothing is listed.  However, I get the opportunity to restore everything in this backup -- add files, add folders, etc. If I click add folders, I don’t see drive M: but I see drive C: and D:. 
    At this point I am at a loss.  Can anyone shed light on my situation?

    Thanks for the info. It appears that your Time-Warner router is serving a public IP address.
    My suggestion is to use the D-Link wireless-router for your local LAN (connect the Time-Warner to the WAN input of the D-Link). If you're concerned about speed issues, you can connect your laptop into the LAN bridge of the D-Link.
    If you're worried about speed, you can do a simple before and after experiment to see if the D-link is degrading your I/O throughput. I've used sites speedtest.net with good success in troubleshooting bandwidth issues.

  • "Restore system from backup" doesn't work

    Hi folks! I've got a strange little problem and my normal rampage through Google hasn't dug up anything, so I figured I'd ask it here.
    I currently have an early 2011 MacBookPro running 10.6.8 on an Intel SSD. A few days ago I figured I'd install an XP boot camp partition for the occasional bout of gaming (mmm... Skyrim... *dreamy look*)
    So I made my Time Machine backup up-to-date, burned a CD with drivers, and let Disk Utility play with the partitions. Only thing was it said it couldn't do the job due to space issues and suggested I wipe the disk first.
    Ok, no problem. My Time Machine backup was snug and secure and I've got plenty of install experience. I popped in the Lion DVD I'd burned for my other iMac and booted from it. Strangely, it give me an installation error (I guess it tries to install automatically without user interaction). But that's fine since I didn't want to install Lion anyway (I'm addicted to SL's Spaces). So I ran Disk Utility again with the partitions the way Boot Camp had advised (GUID, 2 partitions). This also worked without a problem.
    Then I attempted the option "Restore system from backup" in the Utilities menu, and lo and behold: nothing happens. Nothing happened at all. No drive spin-up, no color wheel, no indication of any activity whatsoever. If I select any of the other options, it opens promptly, but clicking the restore option is as productive as a glob of ant spit on a meteor strike.
    So I figure, still no worries, maybe the Lion disk has issues. So I take out my Snow Leopard DVD and boot from that. Never gave problems before, but alas: the iMac refuses to boot from it and starts throwing out 3 beeps every 5 seconds or so. (Googling the beeps pointed me to memory issues. Wait.. Whut?!?)
    Okaaay. Then I tried it with my Leopard DVD. Once again, won't boot, beeps.
    The Lion DVD seems to be the only DVD I can boot my mac from. The only thing I can guess at is that Apple prevents us from installing with older DVD's because of driver issues, which makes sense I guess. But I had Snow Leopard running fine up until now. I've tried several different partitioning schemes including the default one for an installation, but no cigar. Both Disk Utility and futil show both drives are visible and ok.
    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your time!
    regards,
    Meindert Honig

    you should see the time machine come up and be able to select a date on the rite. the screen should look like its something out of star trek with several windows going back into a star like looking thing. if you see that then you want to do is select a date then click restore. you will be promoted that doing this will erase the computer, thats ok! its going to erase it and replace it with what your restoring.
    You're mixing two very different things. You get the +Star Wars+ display, with the timeline on the right, only when browsing via +Enter Time Machine.+ Restoring something from there +*does not erase your entire computer!+* It only replaces what you've selected to restore.
    If you do a full system restore (meaning boot volume), starting with your Install disc (per #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum), there is no "Star Wars" display, and only the drive/partition that you select as a destination for the restore is erased.

  • Restoring iphone from backup

    is anyone else having trouble restoring iphone from backup since 2.0. it worked fine with 1.4 but i have tried it once with 2.0 and once 2.0.1 both times it said my backup was corrupt. this is getting real annoying.

    I'm about to just thow my iphone 3G out the window. I cannot upgrade the software without it hanging up and not finishing. Then I am forced to try to restore the phone, and it will not restore. I am taking it to an apple genius again today to get it restored. I have not gotten any information that has helped resolve this issue. I've been on the phone with a tier 1 and tier 2 support person for 4 hours about 3 weeks ago and I'm now in the same boat again. Any info on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated!!

  • IPhone has been syncing for 2 hrs, now iTunes doesn't recognize my phone and is "restoring iPhone from backup"

    It's been a while since I've synced with my computer (yes, I'm still on iOS 4.0). Tonight I finally synced all my music, apps, purchases, etc. Tried to import all photos into iPhoto (tried 3 times) and about a third of the way through my 3,000 files it quit on me and didn't import a single thing.
    After I did a manual backup of the phone, iTunes said it would download the file to update my iOS to 5.0. Took almost an hour to get the update file... and now iTunes no longer sees my iPhone as "Erica's iPhone," it's just a generic iPhone symbol and it says "Set up your iPhone" / "This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or other device" / "Restore from backup" which started automatically. Am I about to lose everything on my phone?!?!?!
    Help!

  • HT4859 how can i restore files from backup after i reset my ipod touch?

    I rebooted my ipod touch how can i restore my back up files

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Rebooting your device is not the same as restoring it, to restore a device go to settings > general > reset > erase all contents and settings. Once you do this you will then be given the option to restore it from a backup or as a new iPod.

  • Restoring Music from Backup

    Hi Everyone
    Need some help from the experts here as I can't seem to work out how to get all the music on an old iPhone onto a new one.
    Will try and describe the problem as best I can.
    My husband will be getting a new iPhone 5 next week, this will be replacing his current 3GS. 
    This week I gave my son my old iPhone 4 to replace his 3GS and in the process of restoring his 3GS backup to the 4 we lost all his music.
    It restored everything (apps, photos, contacts etc....) but did not reload all the music he had on it.  So he had to manually reload all 1200+ songs.
    So....I want to avoid this when my husband gets his new iPhone 5 as he has over 3000 songs on the phone and doens't want to manually reload all 3000+.
    I, maybe incorrectly, understood that when I backed up to the PC that it backed up everything, including music, and would restore this, is this not correct?
    If it doesn't, how can I avoid losing all the songs on his 3GS when updating to the 5?
    Any help and advice is much appreicated.

    Thanks so much for the quick reply. 
    When you say 'sync' it back, does that mean he has to select each song one by one and transfer back onto his new iPhone?
    Sorry if I seem like a bit of a gumby.
    When I restored my son's iPhone 4 with his 3GS backup we did 'sync' (using the sync button on the bottom right hand of the screeen) but it still didn't bring back all his music.
    The ridiculous thing is I can recall a few years back doing this and it worked perfectly, so not sure what I am doing wrong.
    Both have their phones set to 'manually manage music' as they don't want all 20,000 songs transfered to their iPhones, could this be the problem?
    When I went into the 'Music' tab on the device and chose 'Sync' - it asked if I was sure I wanted to remove everything from the device, which is not what I want to do.  If I say yes will it delete eveything on his phone and will he have to start again?
