  • 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!!

  • Why is restoring iphone from back up taking so long?

    why is restoring iphone from back up taking so long?  i'm updating the software on my iphone 4 and started it yesterday... then my imac goes to sleep and not sure if the update is continuing... it says time remaining 31 minutes... then 33... 35... 37... it just keeps getting longer... what gives?

    Hello,
    How much data did you have on your iPhone? Usually this restore is a lengthy process, so I reccomend leaving it overnight.

  • HT2966 I changed a repeating event and this ****** DELETED 10 events. How to restore this from timemachine backup?

    On the iPhone you can change how many times an event is repeated. I changed that number from 10 to 11 and it automatically deleted all my 10 events and replaced the valuable notes with *nothing*.
    I do daily backups with timemachine, but cant seem to find a way to restore the events - since I already made a lot of changes today.
    next question: is there an ical alternative, which is actually safe to use for business?

    For anyone else that may be in a similar situation, I can confirm that this does actually work.
    I am unsure why I was not able to mount the original sparseimage that I copied to the USB drive before, but I have gone through the entire process again and I could successfully mount the TM sparseimage onto my MacBook and restore files from within it using TimeMachine to my Mac.
    This is a Disaster Recovery solution only needed for if both my NAS and Macbook get stolen or damaged so I am happy with this solution for now.
    I will try the restore process several more times from my monthly backups to reassure myself that the first failure to mount the sparse image was an anomaly.
    This is the process that I have tested:
    Configure MacBook to backup to TimeMachine Service running on QNAP NAS device.
    Perform regular backup of QNAP NAS Device (Linux) including the TimeMachine backup data to an external USB drive with encryption enabled and store this device safely off-site
    In time of loss of both NAS and MacBook, Time Machine data can be recovered to another Mac without the need of the NAS  using the following process:
    Mount the external drive containing the backup of the NAS filesystem (ext4) which is encrypted onto a Linux host so it is readable - use the cryptsetup luksOpen options to access the encrypted filesystem then mount it.
    Mount a n empty HFS+ formatted USB drive  on the Linux host
    Use Rsync to copy the sparsebundle from the external NAS drive backup disk to the root of the USB Drive
    Insert the HFS+ formatted USB containing the sparesbundle into the Mac's USB port
    Double click the sparsebundle to mount it onto the Mac as a Volume
    Using Alt button and the TimeMachine icon, select use alternative backup disk and you should see the TM backup in the sparsebundle
    Enter TimeMachine and you should be able to restore any/all files
    Hope that helps someone else and thanks to LaPastenague for pointing me in the direction of some of the answers I needed.

  • How to restore iphone from backup?

    I recently updated to 4.1 but lost all my contacts... how can I restore them from my itunes backup? thanks

    Maybe, unless there is a problem with your iPhone's backup and it sounds like there is a problem with it or you wouldn't have lost any contacts.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer and should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on your cell phone alone for this data, which can be lost or stolen.
    To restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, select Restore under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. When prompted to update your iPhone's backup, as the first step after selecting Restore, decline this prompt.
    Go to iTunes > Preferences. Under the Devices tab, how many backups are shown? If more than one, what is the date and time shown for each backup? If there is more than one backup, you may not want to select the current backup - select a previous backup when restoring your iPhone with iTunes. After the firmware is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore from the backup, which is the default selection. If there is more than one backup available, the most recent backup will be selected by default. If more than one backup is available, you can select from another or previous backup.

  • How to restore iphone from an older back up

    I have just upgraded my iphone 4s to IOS7. somehow my back up was not picked up properly after the installation.
    I still have the old back up in the folder C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup.
    How can i restore my iphone from this back as the option is not coming on the itunes version 11.1.0.126. i need my messages,contacts and pictures as they have all been lost.
    Please assist

    Restore the device again, when prompted to restore as new or from backup select from backup.  iTunes will then prompt with the available backup options to restore from.
    Sounds like you may have elected to not use the device as designed.
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.  If this had been done it would be a simply matter of syncing the back.
    Relying on an iPhone for sole storage of pictures/videos is extremely unintelligent.  Like with all digital cameras, pictures/videos taken with the device should be copied off the device to a computer regularly to ensure they are not permanently lost in the event the device is lost/stolen or simply fails.

  • Need to restore iphone from icloud but my icloud and apple id for apps are different. How do I do this?

    I had to erase my iphone 5 and do a full restore from my icloud back up.  My icloud is under one apple id(email address) and my apps and itunes are under a different apple id (since I had itunes long before my iphone). How do I restore my apps?  Thanks

    I have always had two different ids as long as I have had my phone.  Can i restore them from a itunes backup?

  • Iphone Will restoring data from backup remove unlock?

    Hello,
    As the thread title says, will restoring my iPhone data from a backup remove the unlock?
    I called at&t today to have my phone unlocked.  The tech support representative told me to plug my phone in and restore it through iTunes.  It prompted me to back up my data which I had it back up my data.  Then it restored the iPhone and when it was done, I had a message that says congratulations your iPhone is now unlocked.
    From there, I got a prompt in iTunes to setup my iPhone and I chose to restore the data from the backup that was created before I restored it to unlock it. 
    Will this remove the unlock?
    Thanks,

    I just want to post this information here to let people know in case they get any questions.
    I have tested it out with restoring the phone from the iCloud and the phone remains unlocked.  This took me a lot of time and repeated restores  from the iCloud backup and the backup made in iTunes when the phone is connected.
    Restoring from iCloud does in fact allow you to keep your unlock.

  • How to restore iphone from an old back up not listed?

    Hello,
    I've read all through this forumn but still can't quite work out my problem - which is probably simple for peeps with apple smarts...
    i backed up my iphone last week on my laptop in anticipation of updating to iSO5.0.1.
    so today I updated to 5.0.1 on my home desktop, and could have sworn i backed up correctly, but it didn't so it restored to a year ago, it had -50 error now that i think about it.
    i thought its still okay as i knew i had a recent backup on my laptop. When i connected my iphone, it synced and apparently backed it up. now cant seem to work out how to restore to an older back up - it only list the one today.
    can someone tell me how i can restore to a back up that is not listed (only todays is) as i really want my contacts and calendar back?
    any help would be greatly appreciate,
    jackie

    i need to restore it from an earlier back up... is this possible???
    It isn't an issue if you still have the backup, either on your computer or in the iCloud. You cannot restore to a backup that you have deleted.
