Restoring from Backup - Google Map Locations???

Do all my saved Google map pins / locations come back if I restore from backup?

In a word, yes.

  • Restoring from backup to new location + not wanting files renamed

    Hi there - I am a newbie to this forum.
    I have a Win XP machine that recently needed to have the hard drive wiped and the OS re-installed. Fortunately I had a recent backup of all my data so I'm in a good starting position for a restore. However I have some questions as the re-install of the OS has had a change in profile name.
    Before my machine was wiped, I had a "Daniel" profile and so my "iTunes Media folder location" was set to C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel\My Documents\My Music.
    After my PC was rebuilt, a new profile was created called "dnl". iTunes has been re-installed (version 10.1.2.17). The first time I launched iTunes the "iTunes Media folder location" was set to C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music. I did NOT choose to have iTunes browse/load my files and so currently iTunes shows no files or playlists.
    I have recreated the C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel\My Documents\My Music folder from my backup so all the music files and the previous libraries are presently in this location. However even if I change the "iTunes Media folder location" within iTunes to point to the "old" location, it doesn’t find the files or libraries.
    I have tried deleting the following files from C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music\iTunes:
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    I did this assuming that the next time iTunes was launched, it would refer to the old location (as specified as my "iTunes Media folder location"), find the old library files there and use them. However it seems to ignore them and simply re-creates the files above in the location I deleted them from.
    So…I am unclear as to the best strategy to have iTunes point back to the old location to find the music files and retain all the playlists I had.
    I found this thread: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364. It mentions a method that will find all the files in the old location and move them to the new location, retaining playlists, artwork etc. Once the data has been copied, it advises to delete the files from the original location.
    However I see that it mentions checking the ‘Keep iTunes Media folder organized’ option. From reading other threads I know this to be a source of one very irritating problem – it renames all the file names. I have specifically ripped my music using software other than iTunes for the express purpose of being able to tag the filenames with more specific info than iTunes would. I like the files to named <artist>-<album>-<track no>-<track title>.<file extension> and am not a fan of the very basic filenames that iTunes assigns.
    So…I want to have iTunes simply point back to the old location and not do any file renaming. I am happy enough to have iTunes simply point to a location that isn’t technically part of my current profile. I don’t have a desperate need for the files to be moved to the dnl profile.
    So…I am guessing there has to be some other file (or registry setting?) that knows where best to point to? Can this modified?
    I would be appreciative of any assistance.
    Thanks!

    Hi Daniel, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The default location for the iTunes library folder is <Profile><Music>iTunes with the media folder at *<Profile>\<Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media*. For XP the <Music> folder is My Documents\My Music.
    When iTunes starts up it looks for a set of library files in the last location it used. If that location is also the default location and it can't find the library files it assumes it has just been installed and creates a new set.
    Changing the location of the *iTunes Media* folder in preferences does not change which set of library files it opens, nor will it automatically detect all the media in that location.
    Ideally you should restore the folder iTunes and all its subfolders from your backup into *C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music* and start iTunes. All should work perfectly and, as far as iTunes is concerned, you will be using the same library as you used to. Any iDevices should sync without problems.
    If you media was not is the usual locations or you are unable to restore the entire iTunes folder then things become more complicated. Post back if you still have trouble and I will try to go into more detail.

  • Trying to restore from backup of IPhone 4 onto New IPhone 5 - Message "ITunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".

    Hi
    I'm trying to restore from backup of IPhone 4 onto New IPhone 5 in iTunes but getting message:
    "ITunes could not restore the iPhone "iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
    I've repeated the backup of my old phone but I'm still getting the same message.
    Any ideas please?

    I just spent 3 hrs with AT&T tech support. No visual voicmail! i wiped phone 3 times, reset. everything no visual voicemail.
    I can access it through dialing holding down 1 then enter password, bu t Visual voicemail is DEAD. ATT says apple has major bug and fix won't be out until OCT 5th.
    If you Google it it lights up like a cristmas tree! Verizon is also inodated.
    1. Fake Map app usless Apple is fixing it though
    2. Batt is a joke, last like 2 hrs
    3. No visual voicemail
    4. Face time on ATT no longer works on cellular data per apple design.
    We need Steve Jobs!! he would have fired somebody for all these mistakes.
    Nopw i am locked into crashing my car because i have to type in numbers to here voicemails.
    Come on Apple send us a rebate or a Iphone 5 that meets the specs stated on the box and advertisments.!!
    We love Apple and dedicated, but this one is a joke.
    Not to mention you jacked us all being locked into 2 year plans with Verizon or ATT.
    No face time unless i buy a Bucket of 5 gb over celluar?  give me a break Take care of us apple Buy ATT and igve us unlimited plans with facetime and data you got enough money!

  • Safari 8 hover does not work over google map location pins

    OS X 10.10.1,   Safari 8,  Java 8-25
    I have always had little odd things not work when using safari on a large % of websites I visit,  the latest issues are
    no response when hovering over google map location pins, travel site calendars not opening or responding to mouse, drag and drop
    show the item being dragged several inches away from the actual pointer, some links don't respond, missing items
    or odd layout with print or pop ups going off the screen on some website pages, zooming in and out does not help. I have none
    of these issues when using Firefox or Chrome. Been using Safari for 4 years now.

    Have you tried a PRAM and an SMC reset? They're longshots, but don't take long to try.

    Have you run Apple Diagnostics from the disc(s) that shipped with the computer?
    Since the problem occurs in all browsers, it still sounds like a video hardware or video RAM or maybe a software issue having to do with layers and rendering.
    The map layers aren't getting rendered, or if rendered, aren't getting displayed.
    Do you have any browser add-ins? Pop-up blockers?
    Since you have two video chipsets, it's possible that might be related to the issue.
    This non-Apple website talks about switching between chipsets on the various MacBook models so equipped, and points to a free 'donationware' program for the menubar that lets you easily switch between chipsets:

    Trying to think of other software that might help pinpoint the problem, does the iPhoto Slideshow 'Shatter' template work? Working properly, it 'shatters' images into several color layers and rotates them in and out to build and deconstruct photos.

  • My iPhone's "Other" capacity has suddenly jumped to 56G out of 64G. Yes, you read that right. Every time I try to sync to recalculate, it gets worse! Please help! Can't even restore from backup now, since my backup is all "other"!

    I have fully up-to-date everything on my iPhone and computer and iTunes. I have an iPhone5 and MacBook Pro. I synced my iPhone this morning and it has 12 or so gigs of free space (even with my music and some photos on it). Then I deleted some voice memos in iTunes, and wanted to sync again to reclaim the space. When I tried, it said I had 29G of "other" data and that my phone was way over capacity and can't sync. I tried a few online solutions to force it to recalculate, but now it says it is about 90% "other"!! Only 8G of 64G free, and "other" is the ONLY thing in the summary bar.
    I un-checked music for syncing, thinking that must be the problem. It did not help.  Now there is nothing on my phone except "other", according to iTunes (not even photos).
    I cannot restore from backup now, since the backup includes the giant "other". I don't want to delete my info on my phone knowing a corrupted backup is my only alternative.
    Help!

    Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone. 
    My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac.  As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is. 
    Any thoughts on this?

  • 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 try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • No restore from backup option in iTunes after ios 5 installation

    I had a similar problem.
    I was backing up my phone in iTunes, checking the backup folder in windows 7
    "\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\"
    and the backup was created successfully there.
    But under "Edit -  Preferences - devices - device backups" list no backup was showing there and as a result no "restore from back up" option was available when I right click the device.
    I uninstalled

    Opened iTunes, conected my iphone, right click the device and hit backup.
    After backup finished I closed iTunes and moved the contents back to the Backup folder in

    opened iTunes again and under "Edit -  Preferences - devices - device backups" I could see all my back ups!
    Also after I conected my iphone this time when I right click the device the "restore from back up" option was available again.
    Hope it helps..

  • HT203977 Are there any ways to reverse 'Restore from Backup' option on iTunes after restoring?

    Are there any ways to reverse 'restore from backup' on iTunes after restoring was completed? My last backup was actually a year ago, I think I've lost all my contacts and photos from a year ago till now. Any way to recover this?
    i haven't been using iCloud or Google contact as backups either.

    No, unless you have a later backup.

  • How do I restore from backup manually?

    Hi i lost everything on my iphone so now I'm trying to restore from backup. When i right-click on my iphone in itunes and click "restore from backup" I can only see 5 backups from last year, 2010.. But when i look in <Drive>:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup there's 2 more from august this year. How do I restore my iphone using these maps/files. Thank you

    The restore from backup process is all or nothing, & if you've been told NOT to restore from backup, there is no supported way to "selectively" restore an iPhone backup. You can use third-party software to "extract" data from your backup:

  • Leopard Install-iCal won't restore from Backup.app (.Mac User)

    I have an iBook G4, 1.2GHz, 1.25GB RAM. I backed up all files using .Mac's Backup, performed an erase and install of the system, and set up .Mac sync preferences at startup (under System preferences--all .Mac options were checked, to include Calendars). After installing apps and restoring my iCal files from Backup, I opened iCal, and only the default Home and Events calendars were shown; all my backed up calendars were not shown.
    I appears that you need to disable (uncheck) the Calendar sync preference in the .Mac sync preferences PRIOR to accomplishing the restore steps in the posted solution: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306482
    After restoring the files, open iCal to ensure that all calendars are in the application. You can then return to .Mac Sync Preferences and select (check) the Calendars preference.
    I also recommend deleting the iCal plist file, located in Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
    Deleting this file will restart your initial iCal configuration; this file be recreated at iCal startup.

    Hi, I figured it out. Here's step by step on how to do this.
    1) go to "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" and make a copy of the folders to my documents (or wherever you like).
    2) sync your iPod with iTunes to get all your apps back onto your ipod (your saved data won't be back yet).
    3) close iTunes
    4) iTunes will have overwritten your old backup, so delete the folders in "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" and copy the folders you copied earlier (from my documents) back to "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup".
    5) open iTunes and restore from backup.
    all your app data should be there and everything back to normal.
    Everyone should make sure that you back up your iPod backups from the backup folder every once in a while, because you could need them sometime in the future if iTunes decides to rewrite over your backup.
    Also, never try to restore your iPod from backup without first backing up your backup (yes, iTunes is crazy). If you do something wrong, the next time you connect your iPod, all your hope of being able to fix it will be gone.

  • Restoring from backup & bootcamp

    I have a new hard drive (replacement as a result of a sudden failure) and now preparing to restore from backup. My backup is a bootable clone in an external drive, from which I'm now running. Yeah I'm on the spare tire, so hopefully no accidents before I get to my destination.
    Originally I had OS 10.7.5 with a boot camp volume for Windows XP Pro. The Win partition had only apps and not data, so losing it was no real loss. I can reinstall Win XP along with all the Win apps.
    So I'm now in Disk Utility trying to figure out how to partition the new drive, but I remember boot camp did that for me. Or does it? My fully functional OS 10.7.5 cloned volume is Mac only. It did not include the Windows volume.
    How should I proceed to restore from backup and create a Windows partition?
    For example, I'm looking at the partition schemes in the DU options, and they read:
    GUID Partition Table
    Apple Partition Map
    Master Boot Record
    Yet I remember boot camp did it for me so that I can get Apple software updates directly from within Windows.

    A note previously posted by The hatter .
    Windows 7 system backup and restore - Apple's goofy HFS read-only interferes with system and file backup.
    For future reference here are some comments on Boot Camp backup that I have collected from this forum.
    WinClone was handy for XP users but doesn't for instance check for errors during the backup only during restore.  It was discontinued at 2.2, all 2.3 versions are hacks (removal of the OS check seems to be the main thing)
    Acronis 2011 w/ plus pak, didn't work well previously
    Ghost 15 - probably not
    Casper 6 works for Windows on Boot Camp only but some report it failed.
    CopyCatX is more lengthy and sector copy so takes the longest.
    Paragon Hard Drive Suite 2011 because it works great and they have CampTune

  • Restoring from Backup-"backup session failed"

    Hello, everyone.
    I recently upgraded to iOS 4.1, and now I can't restore my iPod from a backup.
    When I attempt to, I get the error message:
    "iTunes cannot restore "The Awesome iPod of Pure Awesomeness" because the backup session failed."
    Yes, that's what I named my iPod.
    After searching a bit, I couldn't find any threads in this forum or results from Google about how to resolve this. Could anyone here help me?
    EDIT: To clarify, restoring from backup worked in all previous iOS versions.

    As for the battery problem, if your ipod touch/iphone has multitasking capabilities, try holding down the home button for four seconds, finding the Game Center icon in the list of currently running background apps,then stopping the "Game Center" process in the background by tapping the minus sign at the top left of the icon. But I'm also annoyed at this firmware update.

  • I just got a new iPhone 6 but when I did the restore from backup of my old iPhone 4; none of my pictures were there and almost all of my calendar was missing. Can anyone help?

    Hi, I just bought an iPhone 6, 64GB and had everything ready to do the "restore from backup" from my old iPhone 4 8GB. It kept stopping and I'd have to start over from the beginning. When I finally got it to do something with the help of my provider(who had walked me thru from the beginning anyway); I figured I was all set. Then I went to see my pics to use one for my lock screen and there were NO PICTURES AT ALL and only part of my calendar came over. I'm missing a lot of future appointments that I know are set up. I made sure not to wipe out my old one yet; as I will have to since I did the trade in plan; so I still have my old iPhone 4 and it has everything in it, in addition to having the backup on two computers in the house.
    I also tried syncing it after the restore since things were missing, but that didn't work either.
    I would appreciate any help so I can use my phone and get going with it.
    Thanks!

    Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

Maybe you are looking for
