Restoring Images from  Backup?

I went to the Apple Store today because my iPhone has been having problems, the battery has been draining way too quick. The guy in the store did diagnosis on it and said it was a problem with my software and said he had to reinstall it like it was a new iPhone. When he was done and I got home I realized I did not have my photos from the phone backed up anywhere, other then in the iPhone backup that iTunes runs. Can anyone tell me how I can restore these photos PLEASE? I am quite upset because I have many photos of my dog who passed away this past September on there.
I appreacite any help!
Thanks,
Tom

The only photos that are a part of your phone's backup are photos that were in your camera roll. If you have not synced since you got home, you may be able to restore these photos if they were included in your phone's backup. First disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes. In windows, this is in the edit menu. Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC, right click the phone in the device pane & select restore from backup. Select your most recent backup, if more than one is listed. This must be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content. If the photos in question were in that backup, they will be restored to your phone.

    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.

  • 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'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!!

  • How do I restore OD from backup, when current OD is corrupt?

    Hi everyone!
    Let me first say I am a newbie.
    I was given the task of maintaining a 10.5.8 server and its replica. The problem I faced right away was not being able to add/remove users in Workgroup Manager (buttons are grayed out).
    The 'LDAP Server' (Open Directory -> Overview) on the master is stopped, but runs on the replica, if this is relevant.
    After reading some articles on this forum and elsewhere I realised the OD is corrupt and needs restoring from a backup. There IS a healthy backup at hand, which I managed to restore onto a test machine, freshly loaded with 10.5.8 (Server Admin -> ServerName -> Open Directory -> Archive -> Restore from:)
    However, when I try and do the same on the OD master, it doesn't work. I enter the backup file's password correctly, it displays the 'Restoring' progress bar for a few seconds and then nothing changes - no change in the list of users in Workgroup Manager, buttons still grayed out and the LDAP Server still not running.
    Here is the Configuration Log (Server Admin -> ServerName -> Open Directory -> Configuration Log), I've changed the domain name to 'MYDOMAIN' :

    I don't know what to do and will appreciate any help I can get. Please note I am a relative newbie and if it comes to demoting/promoting servers I will need step-by-step instructions.
    Thank you in advance for your replies!

    There must be more to it than that. Simply dragging images from the iPhoto application window does not move (or remove) files. The only way I can reproduce what you've described is to command-drag files or folders directly from the iPhoto Library folder using the Finder. Anyway, if your photo database wasn't corrupted at first, then dragging files directly back into the iPhoto Library folder would have done it for sure.
    To rebuild your photo database, start iPhoto while holding the shift+option keys. Don't release them until you're prompted to confirm the intent to rebuild. Click "Yes", then click "Save".

  • How do I restore photos from backup into iPhoto 2?

    I tried to create a backup of only one roll of photos in my Photo Library, but when I dragged it to an external hard drive, instead of copying it, it moved it, so that afterwards I could no longer use iPhoto in my computer to open any of the pictures in that roll (the number of the roll still shows in my Photo Library, but when I click on it, it appears empty). I then tried to restore the roll by copying it from the external hard drive into the Library/Pictures folder in my computer, but the pictures still do not show up in iPhoto (I'm using version 2). What am I doing wrong?

  • Lost playlists after restoring itunes from backup

    My wife took the imac to the apple store and to diagnose the problem with the slot card reader they erased the whole computer.  I restored everything from a cloned backup of my entire HD that I made the day before using carbon copy cloner, but when I launch iTunes all of my playlists are gone.  I have tried to remove the "itunes music library.xml" and itunes Lib.itl files and reimport them by "Importing PLaylists" multiple times and it hasn't worked. Also when I do this procedure the itunes layout of the Artists/Albums/etc converts to a new format with a much smaller font and I can't seem to change it back to the way I was used to seeing my Music (with the 3 wide columns of Genres/Artists/Albums at the top with a light blue background color).  I tried recopying the entire itunes folder from the backup and that restored the itunes window to the way that I had it setup previously but the playlists are still missing.  Any advice for restoring my playlists?  Can I use Time Machine to help me?
    Thanks

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    The images are from Windows XP but you get the idea. Your Mac library file may omit the .itl extension.
    See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working I'm told Carbon Copy Cloner can do the equivalent of this Windows based backup tip

  • 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?!?!?!
