Will I be able to restore a 3.1 backup after upgrading to 3.2?
I recently had my phone replaced because of the random shutdown issues that came along with the 3.1 software update. The phone came with 3.0.1 installed, and since I didn't want to risk ending up with the same problems all over again, I didn't install the 3.1 update. However iTunes wont let me restore from the backup I made of my old phone, event though it's supposedly only restoring contacts, SMS messages and app settings. Once whatever software that follows 3.1 is released, will I be able to restore from the 3.1 backup that I have?
all long as the iphone software is the same or a later version then the backup file then you will be able to restore the phone from that backup... so in your case updating to 3.x (x= the next update) then you can restore from that 3.1 backup you have

I lost my iPhone. If I wipe the device will I be able to restore my old iCloud backups to my new iPhone when I get it?
Yes. It will only erase the phone, not any data or backups from icloud.com. If you think it was stolen, you might want to read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668.

If I set up as new iPad, will I be able to restore from a previous backup later?
I stupidly encrypted my backup on my iPad, restored it thinking I knew the password, and now have a factory set iPad and a locked backup. If I set up the iPad as a new device, will I still be able to restore it from the backup that is already there at a later date if I remembered my password?
Yes, with the password you can unlock the backup.

I have just got ready to sync to a new computer (my old one got restored and all backups were lost ) and update to iOS 5.
I finally manage to recreate my old iTunes library on my new computer and transfer my purchases, sync my iPod an dback it up.
With all that done, I go on to update to iOS 5... But low and behold I get error code -43 "An error occurred while backing up this iPod-43 Would you like to continue to updte this iPod? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPod"
I have seen this solution to the problem on another section of the forum:
---dex12
This solved my questionRe: iOS Update error -43
I restored my phone to original setting. (backed up before I did this)
It then installed iOS 5 automatically, and then I got the option to set up as a new phone or use last back up...so didn't lose anything.----
I have backed up my iPod touch, and am ready to restore, but amm worried that if I do restore, I won't be able to restore back to my backup afterwards, this will mean losing some data. I just need confirmation that I will be able to get "the option to set up as a new phone or use last back up," as i really don't want to restore and find myself with an empty iPod.
If it possible to do this, please coudl someone post a step-by-step guide on how to update using the afformentioned method, just to give me (and many others) peace of mind.When you restore an iOS device the IOS version that will be on the iPod after the restore is the latest available for that model device. For the 4G iPod that would be 6.1.6

HT5661 will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?
I have an iPad Model MD371LL/A that i'm selling. I will buy a new one as sonn it releases the new model.
Will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?Yes.
The only 'catch' you may encounter. Let's say your old one is running iOS 7.1.1, and your new one is running iOS 7.0.6, you will first need to update your new one to be running 7.1.1, then y ou can restore it from the backup of your old one and make it a near clone of the old one.
Chances are you won't encounter this, but there have been instances where folks get a broken ipad replaced and try to restore the new one from the backup of the old one and since the replacement is running an older iOS than the replaced one it doesn't work. In that case you set up the replacement long enough to update the iOS then restore it.
But, likely what will happen for you is what happened for me when I bought a new iPod Touch. I did a full backup of my old one then wiped it. Brought the new one home and during hte set up process I had a choice 'set up as new or restore from the backup of the old one'. I chose restore and my new one was a near clone of the old one. I still needed to set up wifi and enter a few passwords to websites, but the data and contents crossed over.
If you are selling your old one you may want to read this about wiping your device to make it usable by the buyer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 -

I am using a Mac Leopard and want to know if I upgrade to Snow Leopard (so I can use the new Lightroom 4) will any of my programs be affected. I will not be able to restore some software and want to know if I'll lose those programs with the upgrade?
Hello,
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they do still have it:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
And it's been reported that if you have a MobileMe account Apple will send one free.
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode. -
Restoring files from Time Capsule after upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
I just purchased Time Capsule so I could back up all 105GB of data from my 2 year old, iMac 24 running Leopard.
I've been having issues, especially with Safari, so I'm (finally) upgrading to Snow Leopard.
My Time Capsule is being used as a SAN and is joining my already existing network via ethernet connection.
When I install Snow Leopard, I plan on blowing out Leopard and running Snow Leopard fresh from scratch, not doing an upgrade.
Will I be able to restore my files, iTunes, and photos from Time Capsule like if I were moving them from a flash drive, even though my iMac has changed?
I don't know if I'm thinking that Time Capsule is getting an image of my iMac and when I blow it out and load Snow Leopard on it, it won't be able to read it again...
But I'm thinking if the answer if yes, which mean I could move files backed up from my iMac to my MacBook Air. Right?
ThanksAnyone has an answer?

my iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?
also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ -
Can I restore from an iTunes backup after setting up as a new phone when a full reboot/restore has been carried out?
As @wjosten says. Note, however, that it is important to NOT sync the phone after resetting it. A Sync will overwrite the backup that you want to restore.

Apple's U/I target demo lately has been women. Sad fact, but already proven by several design study articles and business analytics that look at which market share demographic was growing fastest when it parsed through Apple's sales.
http://www.businessinsider.com/is-ios-7-for-girls-2013-9
It's sad that women are a target demographic? Why?
As part of that demographic, I can't say that I get the feeling that Apple is trying to appeal to me. It seems to me that they are assuming that ALL of their users are fairly clueless, not just the female users.
I hardly think the interface changes are due to a desire to market to women. They certainly aren't impressing me, whatever the intent. I don't hate the look of Yosemite, but I don't like it, either. The translucency is a bizarre touch, pointless in terms of function and at odds with the generally joyless flat aesthetic. -
HT4528 How do I restore all my photos? After upgrading my iPhone all photos were gone.
How do I restore all my photos? After upgrading my iPhone, all my photos were gone.
What photos?
Photos taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore. If you failed to do this, then they are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup.
Photos synced from your computer should still be on your computer an in you regular backup copy of your computer. -
everything updated and works fine in itunes. Slide the hello screen, Pick a language, country and connect to wifi. then it asks to setup phone again. repeat the "restore from itunes backup" which it does and eveything repeats.
Yes, if you choose to set up as a new phone, you will be able to restore from a backup later.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I recently had my hard drive crash on my MacBook Pro (OS Lion 10.7.5). I was able to restore my new hard drive from my latest backup, but since then have been unable to access Aperture Library from another application. When I 'request' an upload --- like to Drop Box, iMovie, or anything --- and it drops down the window for you to choose which library you want to choose from, Aperture is not acknowledged. It will show my iPhoto Library and Photo Booth.
I can export from Aperture to Facebook and Flicker, but not from the other direction. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
BrendaBrenda,
Do you mean, the Media Browser is not showing the Aperture Library? What version of Aperture 3 do you have, and where is your Aperture library stored, on your system drive or an external drive?
For the Aperture Library to be visible in the Media Browser you need to have enabled the generation of previews in the Aperture "Previews" preferences. Do you have the option enabled "Share Previews with iLife and iWorks"? And have you the generation of previews enabled?
One other reason for Aperture not showing in the Media Browser could be a corrupted Aperture library. I suggest you try the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" and repair your Aperture Library. Start with reapairing permissions, then try the other options, if necessary. See:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Another reason may be a corrupted preferences file; remove your Aperture preferences from your User Library, see Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics, the paragraph on removing preferences.

Léonie
