  • Cannot restore the backup of the iPhone

    I just did a DFU restore on my iPhone 5s. I am running Windows 7. I have created a complete PC Backup in iTunes that is listed in the devices list in the preferences.  When I try to restore this backup on the restored phone, that the backup is not available in the drop-down menu of the backups.  Only my iPad is here.  I think that remember me something related to the backup that was created with an older version of iOS.  The phone 9.2, I think it was an upgrade after the DFU.  My iPad has 9.2.1 and I thought they were on the same version.  Anyway, how to restore the backup that is listed in the devices?  I have not either a backup for this phone.  I have to downgrade the phone to the previous version of iOS?  This seems strange to me.  Or maybe that I have to get the phone on instead of 9.2 9.2.1?  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    As far as I know, iOS 9.2.1 is a beta, so maybe it's the cause.

    BTW, discuss software in beta on a public forum is not a good idea.

  • Cannot create the backup on Vista computer

    back up files
    After working OK for 3 years, the backup system stopped send me monthly reminders to save about 4 months ago. Last month, I changed the settings to include the data drive (where I store files) and makes a full backup manually (which took 5 DVDs). This month I can't create a backup copy at all. Whenever I click on "Save files" it sends me through the box of 'continue' and then look back to where I started.

  • Cannot restore the backup to iCloud. Stuck on "remaining time: estimate.

    I bought an iPhone 6s a month ago. Saturday, the screen is dead - they said it was a bad card, so they gave me a new. Initially, the restoration of iCloud seemed to work very well, but some of my app data has not loaded up. These data are really important to me, so I thought I could restore the device again and see if it would transfer the data. Now it is stuck on "remaining time: estimated...» "FOREVER.

    I tried the hard reset a dozen times. I tried to restore back to factory settings. I tried to load the old backups. No matter how long I leave Restoration - I left it all night - I I found with the message "cannot restore backup iCloud," no matter what backup I use. I talked to Apple Care. No one can understand why it does not work. The guy at the Genius Bar said it might have to do with the fact that my carrier settings were not switched correctly when they gave me the new device. He has updated and was told to wait another day and try again. I did this. It STILL gets stuck on screen and didn't budge!

    What could possibly go wrong? Why does a job the first time and now this? The only thing I can think is that it is a problem of iCloud... So frustrating! Help, please!

  • Cannot restore the backup folder

    I had a problem with my laptop HDD (bad sectors) and I had to format it.
    Before formatting it, I saved the profile folder in my external HARD drive.
    I tried to restore the profile but it does not work. It only contains the folder "Cache" (12 MB), "mozilla-media-cache" folder (0 KB), folder "OfflineCache" (11KO), folder "startupCache" (1.06 MB), folder "thumbnails" (50 KB), urlclassifier3.sqlite and urlclassifier.pset
    I can't find cookies.sqlite, formhistory.sqlite, etc..
    Is it possible to restore all of the folder "cache" or in any other way? My hard drive now low level formatting, in order to restore the old data is impossible.

    Thank you in advance.
    

    Unfortunately, this isn't your profile folder. You saved % LocalAppData%\... but instead, you must have backed up % AppData%\...

    Disk cache contains files of web site such as pages, images, and scripts. It is practically useless for the purposes of restoring a backup.

    I highly recommend to keep good backups of your data somewhere other than the player in question. Bad sectors are not a good sign and may indicate larger problems to come.

  • Cannot restore the backup in iTunes

    Hi all

    Hope that you guys are doing well.

    I need your help in order to restore my iTunes backup.

    It is encrypted and I forgot the password.

    Is there a way I can break/crack it.

    Please guide me how can I restore my backup now?

    Kind regards

    Himanshu Jadon

    Unfortunately, without this password, your data is gone. You have to start over.

    If you use iCloud, contact information, etc., must fill up again when you set up the phone, and you can synchronize content back via iTunes.

  • Cannot restore the backup of the image to the new SSD, said player is not connected

    Windows 7-64 bits, hardware upgrade of the HP DM1Z.

    I have a computer HP DM1Z. "Home Premium" Windows 7 64-bit (again, as in Feb)

    I decided to replace the current hard drive 320 GB WD with an Intel X 25 - M 80 GB SSD drive.
    Initially, I bought Acronis ' True Image ' to do the download of the OS (the computer has not much on since it's new).
    Computer problem closing occurred. A few times my attempts. Acronis has been unable to solve this problem. I cancelled the Acronis.
    Decided to call HP. I did a 'clone' on 4 DVDs via an external DVD burner.
    I swapped hard drives.
    At startup, I've indexed PF9 & got the "Recovery Manager". Keyed "Minimizes Image Recovery" to re - install the operating system. Progress was halted when a pop-up "target drive is not connected". I tried this same routine with "Recovery System", and the end result is the same.
    With "HP support", I keyed PF10 and did a diagnostic test. The new SSD worked. "HP support" indicates problem was probably the Windows 7 software.
    I had checked the Microsoft Web site, and the Intel X 25-M is compatible with Windows 7, 64 bit.
    What gives? Registry software is with the motherboard, I think. Replace large GGB to small GGB SSD hard drives seem to be no problems from what I've read. What solution can there be? What I need to re-purchase the retail of Windows 7 to replace the OEM Windows 7 to make it work? This is not good.
    would appreciate help from anyone in this case. Thank you.

  • Restore the backup files. Windows Vista Expert needed!

    Help!  Recently, a virus wiped out my operating system (Windows Vista).  C drive my PC had literally nothing about it.  Then I got a new VISTA OS installed by a repair shop.  I tried to restore my previous configuration from the backup I had on an external drive, using the Vista Backup & Restore utility.  This "worked" except that he restored the backup files in a separate location on the C drive.  Using the windows Explorer I see all those files that have been restored in a folder named "Thom".

    However the new Vista installation has the user name "Thomas" where a configuration complete, (Documents, Favorites, desktop, etc.), was created.  When I connect, it's the config I see (new office, new files and folders for this new user, 'Thomas'.  I want to use the configuration, (files, folders, office computer), under the former name "Thom", not this new one, "Thomas."

    I'm afraid to just delete the files under Thomas I'm afraid I'm going to destroy my access to Windows in general.  Currently, I show only a user account in the control panel.  I don't have the 'Thom' user in the folder of the user within the new configuration.  How to delete files and folders under Thomas and use files and folders in the folder named Thom that is located on drive C?

    All restoring the backup files are there, they show just a folder on drive C, titled "Thom".  When I connect to my pc it takes me to your desktop created by the new facility.  I need ALL the files in the backup (office, e-mail, files & folders), not the Setup program created by the installation of the new Vista.  I want to be able to connect to windows and have it use the backup files, which are located in this folder named "Thom" which show on the C drive.

    Can I simply combine or merge or copy the files in the folder 'Thom', I want to use in the files of the same name, (contacts, documents, Favorites, desktop), which are under the name of "Thomas"?  Can I remove folders under the user 'Thomas' and all it's files and records and hope that windows then takes me in the files that I want to use?

    I use my laptop, (HP Pavilion, 64-bit), for business and I'm dead in the water until I can access my old configuration.  I am on day 5 of this disaster and I am desperate, please help!

    Hello Reggie999,

    Thanks for the return of the response.  You can move the files/folders in the 'Thom' folder in your new user account 'Thomas '.   Or another option would be to create a new user account and call it what you want, then move the folder in this user account.

    If you create a new user account and move your files/folders to this account, it would be nice to delete the user account 'Thomas '.  Just make sure that you have all of the files in the profile that you have recently created/added.
