Restoring backup to iDS 5.2 from iDS 4.1
I have iDS 5.2 running wid iMS 5.2 on my windows box, along a iDS/iMS 4.1 running on Solaris box.
Here what i did to backup data on Solaris and to restore it on windows box.
1. used a command line utility (db2backup) on solaris box, because i was unable to backup the iDS 4.1 from console.
2. Downloaded the backup directory on Windows box through ftp.
3. Used iDS 5.2 console to restore the backup files.
Failed to read the backup file set from:backup path Restore failed (error -1)
Please can any body tell me where i'm making the mistake ???
db2backup is version and OS specific. You DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS.
db2bckup also will overwrite the config section of your directory, if you could make it to work, and that would give you a DS that won't start. You don't want that.
What you do want is to use the Console to export to ldif.
Export everything except your o=NetscapeRoot section.
then import that into your Windows box, also using the Console. You will want to edit the ldif file with something like wordpad, as the
host
variable needs to be changed, so your users are able to use your iMS on windows. If you don't, the server will try to forward mail to the old solaris box, and your users won't be able to log in.

Have tried over and over again. Won't restore backup onto new iPhone 4. I updated the software first, have tried wiping phone and starting fresh. Continue to get message at an error occured. Sometimes it says (-1).
Well, the obviously solution is to use separate Apple ID's for iCloud.

Is it possible to restore backup that has been deleted from the repository?
Hi,
with Rman 9i I do a full database backup including the current controlfile each night (with the catalog option). If the backup has been successful all backups older than 3 days are deleted (because of a lack of disk space).
Now I have to restore a backup older than 3 days which can be written back to disk from tape.
On disk there is a backup still available which is 2 days younger than the one I have to restore. That means in its controlfile the backup to be restored doesn't have the status DELETED yet.
Can I restore this controlfile first, then resync my catalog and restore the old backup after the entry is back to the catalog ?
How do I specify which controlfile and which backupset should be restored ?Hi ebrian,
thank you for your quick answer.
Just to be sure that I understand you right:
I startup the database in nomount mode.
Then I restore the controlfile from the backup which is 2 days younger than the one I have to restore because this controlfile contains the desired backup record with status "not deleted". Is that right ?
Each of my backup consists of 3 backup pieces. How can I find out which of the pieces contains the controlfile ? Or can I try one after the other until it works ?
After the controlfile is restored successfully I use the following commands to restore and recover the database:
rman target=sys/<syspw>@target_db
run {
alter database mount;
allocate channel c1 type disk;
set until time '<point of time a little bit prior to the point of time of the backup to be restored>';
restore database;
recover database;
release channel c1;
open database resetlogs;
exit;
Because of the "resetlogs" I take a full backup of the database afterwards.
For the future I intend to change the process of deleting backups as described below:
* delete them from disk with operating system command not with the rman delete command
* configure retention policy to recovery window of n days (n = number of days backups are preserved on tape)
* start rman script each night: \\ allocate channel for maintenance device type disk; \\ delete obsolete; \\ release channel;
Is it possible to restore each backup from tape if required with the procedure described ?
One last question concerning the recovery:
instead of the "set until time " before using the "restore database" command is it possible to specify a concrete backup to be restored (e.g. specifying the exact time it is taken or the backup piece numbers) ?
Thanks in advance. -
Restore backup iOS 8.1.1 from 8.0.2
hi there. ive purchased a new 6 plus. looking to restore from my backup this morning but the iOS from this morning was 8.1.1 and the version on the new phone is 8.0.2 - the error "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (8.0.2) on this iPhone
how do i restore to this mornings backup please?Set up the phone as new, not from a backup. Then go to Settings > General > Software Update. After it updates, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will let you go through setup again, and this time choose Restore from Backup.

I would like to know if "Restore Backup" to my new phone will load up all the information I have which backed up from my other phone. I only "clicked" on "Backup" when I connected the new phone to my computer. I was afraid to click on "Restore Backup" to have all the other information I had from my other iPhone load up to my new iPhone. Hope you can help. What is the difference between "Backup" and "Restore Backup"; is all that different from synching.Thanks. Ana
That's up to you. Do you want the data on your old phone on your new phone? If so, you follow the directions here:

If you want to setup your new phone as a new device, then there is nothing you need to do. -
Unable to Supervise & Restore Backup. iOS 7-7.0.2 Configurator 1.4
I have just finished a deployment of 530 iPad 4's in the school where I work. Everything went fine with 6.1.3 and configurator 1.3. Since then, configurator has automatically downloaded and installed iOS 7... Which would be fine, if it worked.
I figured out all issues related to the activation and no longer have issues there.
The steps I go through are as follows:
Supervise a device.
Make setting changes (like disabling keyboard clicks)
Restore Backup
Prepare for new devices by enabling supervision, restoring backup, and selecting the profile from configurator to install
Plug it in, and wait.
It fails every time at the "waiting for device to respond" stage. The error it gives is that the USB cable is unplugged. I have even elminated my hub and am trying to do this straght from the Macbook Pro.
I am also unable to revert back to iOS 6.1.3... I have tried everything on the internet listed and it still fails at the screen that says:
On top of all of those issues, the kids that have updated to iOS 7 are all having issues downloading apps... I made sure that my MDM is enabling installing apps... they can go to the app store, but when they download them it just says unable to download and gives the option of Retry or Done. Any advice for this issue?
Please help.. I have to make sure every kid has an iPad and can install the apps they need for school. I am just about out of options... APPLE... ANYONE??? Can I downgrade back to Configurator 1.3 somehow? HELP!Hi MrMeansMTA,
Yeah, there are a lot of issues that many of us in schools are experiencing. See this post for a collection of issues that we are hoping Apple will fix. You should add your issues to the list: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5379636?tstart=0
Regarding your attempt to downgrade to 6.1.3... unfortunately Apple has stopped signing all versions of iOS 6 for iPad. So even with a complete wipe of an iOS 7 iPad in an attempt to restore an old iOS 6 encrypted backup, a restore via iTunes will force the device to check in with Apple and the latest version of iOS 7 will install on the iPad. I've also tried importing an old ipsw file for 6.1.3 into iTunes and into Apple Configurator to try and force loading iOS 6.1.3, but niether iTunes or Apple Configurator will install it.
And with Apple Configurator even if you were able to downgrade to AC v1.3, it doesn't work with iOS 7...only v1.4 works with iOS 7. So unfortunately once an iPad is updated to iOS 7 we are all forced to upgrade AC to v1.4.
As far as the downloading apps issue, the times that I have seen this are when the app isn't compatible with the iOS version on the iPad. For example, an iPad on iOS 6.1.3 trying to download an app that only works with iOS 7 will get the "Unable to download - Retry or Done" message. I wonder if the opposite is happening in your case... where an app isn't iOS 7 compatible yet and they are trying to download a version for iOS 6 or earlier. On top of that, I would recommend the student try a "reset" (different from restarting) on their iPads (Hold down on both the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues).
Another possibility for this error could be due to your web filter settings. Did you attempt to block iOS updates with your web filter? You or your network engineer may have inadvertently blocked app installs. Check with your filter guy to see what the settings are.
Hope this helps. We're all struggling through this and feel your pain!! Good luck man.

I'm trying to update my iphone 4 and in order to compelte the restore backup from itunes i need to turn off the 'find my iphone' but i cant get passed the restore backup stage - what should i do?
Hi beckiewinter!
I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:

HT1766 how do i get to a restore backup from earlier today that was accidentally overridden?
I accidentally restored my iphone back to factory settings and cannot get back to the restore backup that happened at 9:25 this morning because when i was trying to figure out the password, i accidentally overrode the backup. I'm freaking out. i use this phone for work but also have a lot of photos on it that i had not yet taken off. HELP ME!!!!!
IF the photos were not on the camera roll they will not transfer over in a backup. If they are from ana lbum you will need to sync your iPad air to the computer that they came from.
If they are on the camera roll make sure you restored from the most up to date backup -
IPhone 6 photo and video retrieval after restoring backup from my old iPhone 5 unit
Hi,
I was so excited to use my new iPhone 6 and started taking photos and videos with it. Not to mention that the photos and videos were of my all-time favorite artist during his much-awaited concert . When I got home, I forgot to download all the media files first to my desktop before performing "restore backup" via iTunes so all my old iPhone 5 settings could be duplicated in my new iPhone. Now, I can only access the photos/videos taken from my iPhone 5 in my iPhone 6. Not sure if I could still retrieve the new photos/videos taken recently using my iPhone 6 when they seem to have been overwritten by my old iPhone files. Please help.
Thanks!Correction: the message that iTunes hangs at for hours on end was "Waiting for changes to be applied".

In the context of restoring a drive from a backup, i copied /etc/sudoers from my backup. Now it does not work due to the permissions not being correct (even though it was copied via sudo cp -rp)
Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.) -
Is there a way to selectively restore a new 16 gig 4s from a 32 gig 3Gs backup?
Not sure whom I'm addressing (is this a forum?), but I'm hoping to get some tips for my situation:
I have a 32 gig 3Gs and I want to move all of its data (minus a bunch of photos and music that won't fit) to my new (used) 4s.
I would really like as much of my texts, apps, settings, data, etc., as possible to remain.
What are my options?
Thanks!
My computer is a 2007 (ugh) MBPI just went to backup my 3Gs and it won't let me do so because I don't remember the encryption password from a previous backup. Any ideas?
From here...
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device. -
