I am trying to copy all my data from my torch to my bold siince the torch has to go for repairs, have tried deivce switch, normal backup and restore, backup through blackberry protect, everything else works fine except the copy of contacts, which obviously is the most improtant thing. when i try to restore the contacts through the DM, through the customize option where i can select what i want to restore (contacts, emails, etc) everything else is open to choose except the contacts, where i cant select the contacts as its marked in grey and a little piece of information below says this is only a read only data hence cant be copied.

I am trying to restore an iPhone 3 to a previous version. I keep getting the error message: "The backup "Angelo's iPhone" cannot be restored to this iPhone because the software on the iPhone is too old. To restore this iPhone from this backup, you must first set up the iPhone as new and restore the software to the latest version."
I have already done the following: -Updated my version of iTunes (current as of 6/17/12). -Restored the iPhone to factory settings. -Checked for updates, but it says the version is current.
I just installed "the latest" update - but just as the update program tells me to I made a backup to the SD card. But now the backup file cant be read back to restoration of the system.
Is there a way to go around this and open the backup file and extract some of the info?

I just connect iPhone 5 last night, iTunes asked for restore I thought it's back up by mistake. After restore all my photos from last two month gone and photo from last year come to phone! How can I get them back? photo are very import and memorable for me.
I just had my iPhone 5s replaced and restored from backup.
a) most of my apps were missing (meh, not a huge deal to purge)
but more importantly,
b) I can't download certain apps now. For instance, I try to restore Gmail from the cloud and I keep getting a "This item isn't available", which I find pretty unlikely for the GMail app.Â
Is this something with my account? Are others seeing this as well?

I recently restored my iPhone4 on my Mac computer and I'm absolutely freaking out because my iTunes will not locate the correct backup (even when I left click on the iPhone icon in iTunes tool bar and select "Restore from Backup"). However, I can locate the file on my computer from the Library/ApplicationSupport/MobileSync/Backup. I've tried dragging it a bunch of different places/renaming the file to get it to show up in iTunes but nothing's working I saw that before I completed the most recent backup, it said the date before that was around mid-Jan 2012. The only backup file my iTunes can find is from 2010! My phone is not jail broken but if that's what it would take to get all of my data back.... I'm basically deserate.
I previously had the iphone 4 but yesterday I upgraded to the 4S. I got home and restore all the information from my phone into my itunes account. This way I could plug in my new phone and do a backup restore to get all the apps, contacts, music etc on my new phone. However, within the past two months I have purchased quite a bit of music on my phone through itunes. Since then I had not synced my phone to itunes so I did that yesterday when restoring it. When I plugged in the 4S and did the backup restore, I do not have the songs that I have purchased within the past two months on my phone or in my itunes account. How do I get these back?
I just updated my phone using Nokia Ovi Suite and restored from a backup, now when I go to the Address Book, after 3 seconds it gives me "No settings found. Contact your service provider." error. I only use this phone for calling, no email/im services/texting, just calls so what is it trying to accomplish?
I've switched from the Blackberry 8520 To 9300, is there a way I can backup my contacts from 8520 and transfer them to 9300?Will it appear two profile BB on peoples BBM?
My iPhone5c failed and apple gave me a new one, so I followed the instructions and clicked 'restore and update' Amy's iPhone in iTunes, only after it went through the motions it is now calling the new phone 'Guest users phone' so I obviously did something wrong as none of my contacts photos etc are available.Â
Why couldn't it just have done what I wanted it to do..is there a way I can get back to the backup of my old phone?Â
I really screwed up and had to do a factory reset so I lost my apps and all my settings. The only thing that I see is the Memo app. The Restore has recovered most of my data. What's missing is all the memos that contain a ton of important info. What do I need to do to recover the data? The data was not restored through a restore from backup.
I lost my phone and needed to get a replacement. When I did, I started the activation process, but never got prompted to restore from iCloud, just from my last backup in iTunes. I've run the restoration, and the backup was pretty out of date. Is there a way to restore the backup I'd set up in iCloud at this point?
I've just updated to the new 2.1 and only 1 of my contacts has been restored?I downloaded the newest version of Back up and Restore before the update?Is there anyway I can retrieve my contacts?I've also had to re install the apps one by one too? A couple didn't restore at all? But the contacts is the main one!
I am having to do a hard reset on my phone to see if it fixes certain problems...HTC said my contacts were uploaded to my gmail is that true and how do they get restored to the phone...
I have the bold 9700 V5.0.0.321 I had all my contacts duplicated due to sync of my phone with the gmail.on one the contact it duplicate about 10 names and when i tried to delete one of them it deleted everyone of those names. I found out (maybe the wrong way) that you go to the address book press Options -> then press R S E T -> which deleted all of my contacts in the address book and now I cant restore it back. Every time I input the data names and numbers it wont save it. I had the back up but it says the DM doesn't recognise the data. Is there anyone that can help me on how to put my contacts back into my phone.
I've just upgraded my x10 to 2.1 and all of my contacts are not being restored, where are they? It took 10 minutes to restore the contacts so they must be there somewhere, does anybody know where?I've tried importing them from the memory card in the phonebook options but it says that it can't read the memory card.
