Trying to restore iphone 5 from previous backup---the restore is not completing so I'm not getting my pictures, text messages, or voicemails? What can I do? I know they are on the computer and in itunes..please help

Anyone have any ideas on the question at hand...

I haven't personally used it, but it's widely recommended so I suspect it's pretty good software. If your restore is failing it may be the only way to access your data again. And if the backup is failing because it is corrupt, even this may not work.
You won't be able to find you information on a different computer unless you backed up your phone on it (and you can't simply copy the backup from one computer to another as iTunes won't read it on the other computer).

How to restore iPhone from previous backup

Hi all, I'm really hoping someone can help me. I tried updating the OS for my iphone thru iTunes. It backed up my phone,
then tried to do a restore (said time left was 19 hours - this lasted for about 7 hours before I unplugged the phone from computer).
I have located the last backup I would to be restored to my phone but when I plug my phone in to the computer and try to do a
'restore backup' it says the phone does not have any backups. iTunes does not recognize the last back up, how do I get it to recognize
it? I have lost everything off the phone and now it looks like a new phone to iTunes. HELP someone please!! Thank you!

When you activated and setup your new 5S, you should've had the option to restore from your backup.
If you have no data on your 5S - then go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipie your phone clean as new. Go thru the setup and you'll see restore from backup or set up as new, choose the icloud backup.

I updated my iPhone 4S and now my iTunes (10.6.1) won't read it. It said to update, but 10.7 won't work on my computer because it's a Mac 10.8. I can't find the iTunes 10.6.3 anywhere. What can I do to be able to sync my computer and phone?

iTunes 10.7 does indeed work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Do you mean you have Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard? If so, and you updated your iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on some other computer, then you may be out of luck synching to your 10.5.8 system, but you can get and try 10.6.3 here:

Reinstalled maverick on Mac mini 2010 now can't restore files from previous backups

Reinstalled maverick on Mac mini 2010 now can't restore files from previous backups can't even roll back to previous setup

This is typical Mavericks.
Was the old backup taken from Mavericks install?
Did you already start TM from the new install and thus totally foul up and corrupt your old backup?
You will need to try migrate assistant.. and if that fails you will need to manually pull your files from the old backup if you can still access them.
See Q15 here.

Getting "not enough space on iphone" error when trying to restore iPhone from latest backup in iTunes.

Recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1.3 and lost all of my contacts after doing so. Tried to restore phone to latest backup performed in iTunes but I get an error message that tells me there's not enough space on my iPhone to perform the restoration. The ultimate problem I'm trying to solve is the loss of my contacts so if there's another way to solve that please let me know. If restoring my phone is a proper solution please help me do so.
1. How do I get my contacts back?
2. How do I restore my iPhone from latest backup when getting "not enough space" error?
Please help!

Contacts are not part of the backup. They are seperate and either you need to sync them with an email program such as outlook or use icloud mail,contacts, and calendars on the phone. Unless you did that then the contacts are gone.

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes but when i plug in my ipod it doesn't come up as a device so carn't sync. Its like theres something blocking my computer link with itunes please help!

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes but when i plug in my ipod it doesnt list any devices in itunes to enable me to choose my ipod to sync it. Its like there is a link missing or something blocking my computer talking to itunes. My computer itself recongnises the ipod but itunes doesn't. Please help!

This morning i tried unistalling that (didn't think it would make any difference as the programme wasn't active) once uninstalled i pluged the ipod in and hey presto it is now recognised by itunes, THANK GOODNESS. So panick over for now, thank you very much.

How to restore Ipad from previous backup that is not the restore list?

I did a firmware update for Ipad from 5.1.1 to 6.1
I backup my Ipad before I did it at 4.46am
Then I restore my Ipad so it will install IOS 6.1
However I accidentally set it up as new device with a differrent name (default suggested by itune which is "AL's Ipad")
Then I try to select my previous backup called "Ipad 3"
But I cant see "Ipad 3" from my restore list.
So can I restore my "Ipad 3" backup?

If you went through the process of restoring your iCloud backup, then tapped Show Older Backups when asked which backup to restore to and the backup you're looking for isn't listed, there's no way to recover it. You could check to see if you have an older backup on your computer that would have the data you're looking for by opening iTunes and going to Setting>Devices and checking the Backups list.

Please Help - restore iphone from old backup

Dear Applers,
i got very complectated case,
i use Apple iPhone 3G (3.1.3) & Mac Book Pro (iTunes 10)
i took backup for my phone at 12 pm, at 5 pm i deleted my messages by accident and when i connected my mobile to the computer to get back my things the computer automaticilty synced my mobile and took a new backup at 5 pm.
when i right click > restore, the computer show me that the last backup is at 5pm which is i dont want because it doesnt have my data, i want to be able to restore from the backup that i took earlier that day.
i tried to go to Users/ Library / Application Support / Mobile Backup and i found that my old files still their beside the new files
i tried to delete my new backup files from this directory so that way it take the backup before it. it didnt work .. it just deleted every thing
i really dont know what to do i feel like my data is here but i cant access it
Please Help,
Thanks

To be able to read the content of those files inside the backup folder, you'll have to use special software like "backup extractor" http://supercrazyawesome.com/ for example. But don't use the original folder to test, copy it to another place on your HD and use this copy to try.
Some files are not replaced when a backup is made, only files that changed in data are replaced, as far as I know.

My iphone 3gs is not showing in itunes despite restarting and reloading itunes,please help!

I have re-loaded itunes but my phone is not showing. I have run diagnostics on it as well but the tests show that the ports cannot find the device. Any suggestions are gratefully received.
Thanks.

when all else fails, take it to the apple store. They are very helpful and are fast! My iphone 4 is now acting up. It said it needed to restore to connect, so I restored it. Now it is saying that there is no sim card, ugh. I will be making my way to the apple store very shortly.....

HT4236 I've just tried to sync a photo folder from 'my pictures' to my Ipad but I can't find where they are or if it's worked. Please help

I've followed the instructions to sync a photo folder from 'my pictures' to my Ipad but can't now find it so not sure if it's worked or not. Please can anyone help?

If you've succesfully synced photos over then they should be in the iPad's Photos app - the folder should get it's own album under the Albums button at the top of the app. If it hasn't worked then the instructions that I usually give for syncing photos are :
If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense. To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on that left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

Can't send and receive SMS/MMS/iMessages after restoring iPhone from a backup

I can't receive and send any type of messages with my iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.1.6) after restoring it from my old backup (also 6.1.6).
Messages that I'm sending are disappearing immediately after the moment they are sent and they are never delivered. The first time I restored my iPhone I could send and receive messages for 1 day, and I couldn't do it on the next day. This time I was able to send and receive messages for 10 minutes.
I have used the methods Apple recommends for problems like this, but it doesn't help.

Hello StepanyanMuradyan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot issues with not being able to send or receive messages on your iPhone, I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting outlined below.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.

Take care,
