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 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 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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
My restored iPhone didn't get all the apps back even though I manually made a backup in iTunes before restore. Now what?
There's some timelapse apps, for example, that contain a lot of data (several GBs) that I really wouldn't want to lose.

i recently bought iphone 4S and i had before iphone 3GS .
Now i wanted to transfer my data to my new phone and i had a back-up code which i never used cause when i used to connect my old iphone to my pc it was sync automatically and i didn't even remembered that i had input a code for my back-up so i cannot possibly remember it.
There is NO preference for changing the code via e-mail as every application devices services etc provide. I went to the i-storm which is the 'authorized' retailer for Greece and since i haven't bought the device from their store. (i bought it via my mobile company but it's APPLE for god shake.)
i have contacts photos messages from 1 and half year time which i cannot let go. Also, imagine to write one by one contact (680 contacts) If i knew that i wouldn't buy Iphone in first place.
How do you get all of your contacts back after you retored your iPod onto your iPhone?
