Restoring my 3GS enterprise profiles to iPhone 5 via iTunes, not working

Hi.
I have my main iPhone, 3GS running 5.1.1, having two essential enterprise profiles, coporate mail and enterprise WiFi profiles. I keep a regular complete and manual backup of the iOS w/ iTunes. Profiles were configured on a coporate notebook which I don't have my hands on at the moment, where iPhone backups are taken only from my personal computer, a Mac.
So I get my hands on a brand new iPhone 5, running latest iOS, 6.0.2. I activate it by inserting the nano sim provided by our local operator, I plug it to my Mac to restore latest phone backup on it. I finish restoring *everything* and getting all the stuff of apps, apps data, pics and mailbox perfectly to my new iPhone, wait a minute! Except for the enterprise profiles.
What should I do to get the profiles back. Why iTunes is not backing/restoring them? I can't switch to iPhone 5 as a main phone without these, it will not workout for me.
Appreciate your inputs and help.

If you have not already reverted the look and feel to be like iTunes 10 then
View > Show Sidebar
View > Show Statusbar
click on the black arrow in the search box and untick Search Entire Library
Now you should be able to drag and drop onto your phone or use the sync pages

Sending jpg to iPhone via mms not working

I'm trying to send a jpg from my email to an iPhone via mms, i'm using the correct format [email protected] but the iPhone gets an error that reads:
The part image/jpg: name=name.jpg; x-unit-mode=0644; x-mac-hide-extension=yes was removed form the message as not supported.
Any ideas?

You cannot send an image to an iPhone using @mms.att.net. mms.att.net was a workaround for phones that are not capable of email. If you want to send an image to the phone, just send it to whatever email address you are using on the phone.
I dont buy that answer, i can send pics to my friend that has a normal flip phone that way. I also send .3gp movie files to my iphone 3G as a work around of not being able to attach/select video file to send via mms. You can however, forward a video clip that was sent to you. Are youy sure its not a formating of the jpg files or something, im fairly certain i have sent my own phone pics from my e-mail.

Sync Google Contacts via iTunes not working

Hi
Just got a new Macbook with Yosemite and am syncing my Google Mail, Calendar, Contacts with the Macbook without difficulty, I have disabled iCloud syncing for Mail, Calendar, and Contacts.
Now, I want to get Google Contacts set up on my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) as a stop gap before getting a new iPhone down the line. However, I can't find a reliable way of getting my Google Contacts on to the iPhone 3G.
Exchange Sync and CardDAV do not work. I don't mind syncing via iTunes but I can't set this up either. Despite telling iTunes to sync 'All Contacts' it won't sync those from my Google account. Only contacts in 'On My Mac' group sync across, but I don't want to manually keep track of and copy new Google contacts into this group just to sync.
Why won't iTunes sync the Google contacts group - currently it is the only group in my OS X Contacts.
I have reset sync and reinitialised the iPhone to factory image - neither works.
Any advice appreciated.

try rebooting the appletv.
also, you have a first generation appletv but have posted in the second generation appletv forum.

Excel from PC to iPad3 Numbers via iTunes not working

I'm trying to add a couple excel spreadsheets to Numbers on an iPad3 from an XP machine via iTunes. The iTunes interface shows the files to be added to Numbers, but after I sync the device the files are not shown in iOS Numbers. I synced a pdf to GoodReader with no problem, but a Word file to Pages failed too. What is up?

That's possible I suppose, but this is a work/enterprise iPad in a federal office and the email system would require a complex two-factor authentication process via Safari. The files are supposed to be transferable via iTunes, which is infinitely simpler for the user to manage. I should also mention iCloud is not an option.
I'm wondering if it's a file-compatibility issue. I thought iWork (even the iOS version) was pretty good abotu MS file formats.

Trying to listen to WFAN via iTunes - not working

I can successfully listen to WFAN in NY via QuickTime and WMP. I'd like to try listening through iTunes, but cannot get it to work. I have the URL which ends in .asx. I can listen to the sample Apple provides in help, so I would guess my firewall is not the issue. Is this type of URL not compatible with iTunes? Any suggestions?

I think what im doing is right but i keep getting
errors...therefore...its wrong..i don't see any errors posted, so it must not be wrongThe error occurs because the OP did not use BSD-style braces.

Transfer apps from iPhone to iTunes not working

I have tried this on iTunes 8.0.1, 8.0.2 and 2.1, 2.2 firmware without success. For a good while now, I installed apps directly onto to my iPhone and never bothered to sync up regularly. As a result, I have over 20 apps on my phone that are not on iTunes. Last week when I finally sycn with iTunes, it usually hung on copying the first app for a long time and if I leave it on long enough, it shows that all the apps are copied. Yet when I check iTunes apps, they don't show up. I have tried this many times without any success. Does anyone know a remedy for this?

In iTunes, go into the AppStore (not on the phone, but computer) and just redownload them. If you paid for them once already, it will NOT recharge you.
Of course use the same account you used on the phone.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Your apps / music / photos etc are stored in iTunes on your computer.
Just do the Restore then re sync your iTunes media.

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(
