Restoring from an older backup and then restoring to latest backup

Okay where to begin.... By removing an email account from my phone, I ended up deleting all my 'notes.' Unfortunately I had encrypted my backup and therfore cannot find a third party software that can restore just my notes. I also found how to rename an old back-up, then (after unchecking 'encrypt backup'!) create a new backup in order to have multiple backups. My plan is to now restore to my first backup, recover my notes, then restore to my latest backup. My concern is that I will lose the pictures from my camera awesome app that I have taken since my fist backup, or even the ones before. There seems to be issue access those pics through windows explorer. Through research I have found that I do not understand what is and what is not backed up (to the detail at least that I am concerned with i.e. photos within a particular app). So what can I expect if I move forward with my plan or is there a way I can just restore/view my notes from the original encrypted backup? By the way I do in fact remember the password for the encrypted backup.

To quote myself:

  • Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

    Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

    If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
    And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
    To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
    It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

  • Restoring From An Older Backup Than The Most Recent One Occurred.

    Hi,
    Today I was backing up my iPod touch as per usual. I waited and waited (it took a fair while). When it finished I looked a the usage of the device and it had changed alot. I was very confused. I looked at my songs and they had all been wiped off. I went to restore the device to the latest backup but by the time I had done that the whole iPod had backed up again. This means I cannot find the backup before that.
    My question is does it save older backups automatically anywhere?
    Thanks,
    Liam

    Do you have a backup of your computer system from an earlier date?  If so you can replace the current backup file with the one from the earlier date and then restore that backup.  In Vista, your backup file is located in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup (substitute your login name for user)

  • Restoring a IPhone from a older backup before a new one.

    Last night around 8 I restored my iphone to mess with downgrading to a older version then 1.1.3. I did a backup to make sure when I upgrade back to 1.1.3 that I will get everything back. It took a long time, but now when I go back to restore from my backup, all it shows is a backup date of when I was done at 2 in the morning. Where did the older one go? I was docking and undocking my phone and shutting it off and resetting itunes so does that mean that it overrider the older backup?.
    Does this mean that my backup is now empty and all my contacts and settings are gone? Please help! Can I choose to restore from the older backup from 8pm? I already did the newer restore but never synced all the way because of time, and so far all my contacts are empty!

    Itunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the backup each time there is a change. The only way I know of to keep this from happening is to pull a copy of the backup out of the itunes folder and store it somewhere else. That way you can always drop it back in at a later date if you need to.
    Windows users can find the backup here: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Mac users: Username/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup

    If you have Time Machine and it ran after the backup you want and before the current backup you can restore it from the Time Machine backup.

  • I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod.  At some stage I lost the music files from my library.  Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again?  I stupidly synced the wrong one.

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

  • I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have.  To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
    Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them).  You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another.  You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

  • I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues.  The screen is very slow to respond.  When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on.  I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on

    I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues.  The screen is very slow to respond.  When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on.  I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off.  It is very, very frustrating.  The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly.  I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues.  They tell me to do different things that never help.  We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues.  Help!  It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract.  Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

    I have done that several times.  In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly.  I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time.  It never does.  After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying.  I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not.  I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine.  I know I got a bad phone.  Verizon just does not listen.  It is a bad phone.  I just want a new phone that works properly.  Is that too much to ask?  I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one.  Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this?  It shouldn't be this difficult!  Help please!!!

  • How do I take an iTunes library from an older HD and dump them into a new library on a Macbook?

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro back in March 2012 to replace a deceased iMac G5. Assuming all my music was dead and gone, I began building my new library on my Macbook ever since. Recently, I was able to remove the hard drive from my older G5 and found out it still worked. Now my problem is that though I'm able to add all my old missing songs into my new Macbook, it's missing "Date Added, Plays, and Playlists". I tried copying over the "iTunes Library.itl" file, since I read that this is where all your info is stored, but it's asking me to replace the already existing iTunes Library.itl with the older one I'm trying to import.
    Replacing the newer .itl file with the older will only create a new problem with the info of the songs that were already on my laptop. 
    Any one have suggestions?
    Thanks a billion!

    Please check in Settings: General: Keyboard: International Keyboards how many there are and which.
    If there is more than one you can either delete the ones that you don't use, or if you want to type on different ones at different times you can change between them using the key with a world that appears when you are using the keyboard.

    How large is your movie?  Is it possible that you could output it as a QuickTime file and then burn that as a data DVD?  Is uploading to YouTube an option?

    It's all very confusing to me, I need some answers from experienced customers.

    I already checked. I purchased my iPhone 3G on the launch date back in July '08. I've paid the bill the day my bill was issued, days ahead of its due date, and for some reason, even through it's magic 8-ball wisdom, said I was not eligible for and upgrade. Not till Dec. of this year at least.
    So even though my phone is now technically 'mine' and off their contract, they still won't unlock it for me? How come?
