Trying to transfer previous backed up data

Hi,
I backed up the data on two previous phones and now I wnat to transfer the photos from these files to either my existing device or to the media manager. I have tried everything on the desktop manager but can't seem to do it, any suggestions?

Most of the time photos are not stored on device memory. They are usually stored on the media card and are not backed up during a regular backup session with Desktop Manager.

How do I restore previously backed up data on itunes to my new iphone

I just got a replacement iphone5 from Asurion insurance company bc my original one got wet and wasn't working correctly. I backed all my data up to itunes. When I plug in my new phone itunes registers "two iphones" and it won't let me restore my previously backed up data onto the new phone. Does anyone know how to get around this so I can transfer my backed up music and contacts? thanks!

The lower section of the following has instructions on using iTunes backup to transfer to a new device and may have something that will help: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

Apple TV1 will NOT transfer purchases back to iMac

Hi All,
Last night I purchased two videos on my Apple TV (1st Gen). When I tried to transfer purchases back to my iMac, they did not transfer. I tried rebooting my ATV, then tried re-syncing, then I tried de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac, still no resolution. All the devices have the latest software updates as well as my iTunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the response WC. I will do what you suggested when I get home. So was I NOT supposed to buy those videos on ATV? And going forward, am I supposed to buy from iTunes only and stream it to watch it? Seems to be an inconvenient way of buying, if you're using ATV and you see something you like and you want to buy it and watch it immediately.

How do i transfer my iphone 5 data to my new 6 when OS sw is diiferent?

Im trying to move my back up data over from cloud from my 5 to my new 6 and it wouldn't allow me do to different sw.. help

If the 5 has a higher version than the 6, you need to set up the 6 as new, update to the latest level, do an Erase Contents & Settings, then Restore from the backup. You will find that restoring will be much more complete and will occur much faster if you redo the 5's backup using iTunes on a computer (Mac preferred), storing it on the local drive instead of the iCloud. Make sure it has a password (encrypted) and everything will get passed over. Of course, this assumes you still have the 5 on hand.

Trying to transfer photos from ipod to pc

I've got about a gigabyte of photos that I put onto my 60gb ipod photo. Recently lost all of the original files from my computer (pc), and am trying to transfer them back from the ipod. All I can see in the Photo folder of the ipod (using explorer, adobe photoshop, etc.) are ".ithmb" My suspicion is that these are readable only on the ipod, but if anyone has any other ideas for retrieving these photos, it would feel like a miracle; they're everything from the past year!!!

my best guess is that we didn't enable the "full resolution" option when transferring photos. This then made the ipod convert the original files to its own read-only format (ithmb.) The only thing I can find to convert these buggers is a mac only program, "file juicer"
If there are any confirmations or negatations to this comment, they would be much appreciated...

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. Help!

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the Library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. On opening the domain all I can recover is the many component parts, and when unzipped the code. Help! Mike

Code in a domain file - really? That is not possible because the domain.sites file does not contain any html or css code at all - the domain file is your iWeb data file and you won't see any code until you publish your website.
If you can see html code, then you have the wrong file and it is a published version of your site which iWeb can do nothing with - iWeb has no import facility so cannot open any html files.
Go back and ensure that you have the correct domain.sites files that can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and if you have Mavericks then you need to go to Go and press the alt key to reveal your hidden User Library, so that you can then get to Application Support and then iWeb and then your domain.sites file.
You will also need to go and download either DomainCracker or iWebSwitch which allows you to open individual domain files under Mavericks, because from Lion onwards, you cannot open individual domain files.
Also, it says that you are still using iWeb 08? If this is so, you'll either need to upgrade to iWeb 09 by going to Amazon and purchasing the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set, both of which contain iWeb 09 or you need to switch to newer software that is actively being supported and developed such as EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

Is there a way i can restore my mac to a previous date without having previously backed it up using time machine or disk utility?

So over the past few days out of nowhere my macbook pro has started behaving very erratically, i have yet had time to properly set up time machine on an alternate device and i was wondering if it was possible to restore my system to a few days ago? i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the most problematic programs but they still crash on open. My largest issue has been firefox which deleted all of my bookmarks and would not show a url in the navigation bar. as well as neither my trackpad or usb mouse would allow me to left-click until after i had restarted my laptop 3 times. Anyone have any ideas?

OS X doesn't have a "system restore" like Windows has.
You have to use TimeMachine or a external clone previously made.
My largest issue has been firefox which deleted all of my bookmarks and would not show a url in the navigation bar.
Uninstall all your add-ons, remove Firefox for now and use Safari
Use a external drive to make a copy of your user files only (not Timemachine) and disconnect all drives.
If you've installed crapware like MacKeeper you need to uninstall it here
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
If you've installed a always on anti-virus you need to uninstall it using the devlepers uninstaller
as well as neither my trackpad or usb mouse would allow me to left-click until after i had restarted my laptop 3 times.
Stick in your 10.6 install disk and reboot holding the c key down, boot off the disk and simply reinstall 10.6
reboot holding the Shift key down, then Apple menu > Software update to 10.6.8
reboot and try running all your third party software, a few may not work and have to be reinstalled as they insert kext files into OS X which you just replaced.
check the status of your plugins like Flash and Silverlight here, update if needed
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
Now go to System Preferences and create another new user and log into it, does things seem fine?
Now log into your original user, does it seem fine?
Now install Firefox by itself, does it seem fine?
Add add-ons one at a time in FF, does everything seem fine?
Try FF in the new user, everything seem fine?
It should be, you've just replaced your OS X, bundled programs and replaced Firefox.
If something still is occuring but only in that first user then you need to transfer personal files to the new user and delete the old one it's corrupted. You can re-create the first user again and transfer files back so things work again (itunes playlists etc.)
Next time make a TimeMachine drive or a Carbon Copy Cloner which is bootable and updates on your scheduale.

Tried to transfer all my data to iPhone 5 from iPhone 3GS lost my email and app data? Do you why and how I can fix this?

Hi...
Tried to transfer all my data to iPhone 5 from iPhone 3GS lost ONLY my email and app data? But weird thing is, its still on my old phone!!!
Do you know why and how I can fix this?
Shelley

How did you "try" to transfer this data? The only way to restore App data is by restoring from a backup that contains the App data, then syncing the Apps back to the phone. Emails are not included in any iPhone backup, only account settings.

I'm trying to transfer data (docs, emails) from G4 iMac running os 10.3.9 to brand new iMac on 10.8.1 I'm stuck, any help greatly appreciated. (Ethernet or wifi networking are both options if I can figure out how to get the machines to communicate.)

I have the old machine backed up onto an external firewire disk but can't hook that up to the new imac as I'm waiting for delivery of a firewire 400/800 adaptor - therefore starting the old machine up as a slave is also subject to the same delay.
I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine. By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.
- or use Migration Assistant but in my experience, Migration Assistant isn't very reliable and fails to migrate large amounts of stuff.

Ok, so while we all wait for ever, is there a way to revert back to the previous os and data?

Ok, so while we all wait for ever, is there a way to revert back to the previous os and data? I could wait a week for this mess to get worked out and I need my telephone. problem is I'm stuck in the loop too. will not connect and there I have a brick. sort of a shoot yourself in the foot process if you have a wiped phone previous to updating it. useless
anyone know how to revert? Verizon btw, had 4.2.10, tried for ios 5, tried for the gold, no win
Thx

I'm seriously thinking of downgrading back to Mavericks for one very specific reason - the Mail app. As a long-time Mail user, I've always had the Address Panel open down the left side of the Mail app, selected from the Window/Address Panel menu item. It showed a simple list of all contacts, or groups, and only the email address(es) associated with each one. Could select a group then click BCC or TO: or whatever. Could also select multiple addresses and pop them into the CC: list or wherever you liked. And within a Group (eg Work) could do multiple select, and also choose which email address to use for those who have more than one (eg work vs personal).
But - Apple seems to have removed it in Yosemite. The Mail app has NO WAY - at least that I can find - to access a simple list of contacts and email addresses from within the Mail app. What an absolutely stupid move, unless it's just me being dense and can't find it!
If anyone can point me to where or how to show that Address Panel in the Mail app, I'd be most grateful. Having Contacts app open all the time just doesn't cut it either, apart from not enough screen real estate. Contacts won't show you a simple list of people and email addresses like the Address Panel in Mail did. It shows you the full details, one at a time, for each contact. Which is absolutely NO good if I have to send out emails to 50 work colleagues, for example.
Why does Apple DO stuff like this? Like removing the sidebar in iTunes, for another example?
If I can't find an Address Panel for Mail, I'm going back to Mavericks. Anyone got any clues?

The password would be either your iTunes ID password or your admin password for the Computer.
