    I synced my phone this morning. I discovered a few hundred or two of my contacts, 34 are only there. I'll do a restore from a backup. I discovered that although I was backed up my phone several times during the past two months, only two are listed, this morning and the other in January. [angry face] I select the backup of this morning. It then gives me the error message "itunes can't restore iphone because not enough free space is available on the phone." I click 'OK '. (I have 25 GB free on the phone.)

    Then it reboots my phone. The error message that it could not connect with the phone because it is locked and needs the password. I enter the password and click "Retry." iTunes will connect with the phone. He soon begins to synchronize, even if I have in preferences to prevent automatic synchronization of the iphone.

    When it is finished syncing, I check my contacts. Still only 34. I go through the steps again. It is an infinite loop. He still made things even. Judge on three occasions.

    I restarted my computer, stopped, and then restarted the phone.

    What is happening, but better yet, how can I solve this problem and find my contacts?

    Thank you.

    If you are / use iCloud to synchronize your contacts, they are not in this backup.

    You can check on iCloud.com. How much are?

  • Restoring a backup problem

    I had to reload Windows XP Pro and erase all the data on my hard drive. Before proceeding with the installation of new I backed up my bookmarks using the backup tool Firefox - it created a "bookmarks" file which is a HTML Firefox file that I saved on a flash drive. After the new installation, I went to do the restore and it seemed looking for a '. '. JSON' file type because he would not accept the HTML file - the file 'backup' has not had a file with extension I edited the name to add. JSON and it still would not accept.

    Is it possible that I can restore my bearings - I have well over 100 that I wouldn't be able to go back and recreate.

    I said above that you can use the allowresetlogs_corruption initialization parameter and you can open the database.

I know how important it is that your iPhone can be restored properly! Read this article which has steps for you If your iTunes backup could not be completed or you can not restore from a backup. More precisely:

    Try again after each step

    1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Connect your device to your computer with a cable USB, then Select your device in iTunes. If your device does not appear in iTunes, you must correct this problem until you can continue. Or, if you have forgotten your password or your device is off, know what to do.
    3. Turn off your computer and your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Then turn on again them.
    4. If you use a Mac, skip this step. If you use a Windows PC and iTunes will not respond or never ends your backup, you may need to to update, edit, disable or uninstall your security software.

  • 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.

  • Can I reset my MacBook Air and restore the backup I made before to reduce others' storage space?

    Hello

    so I have the 126 GB MacBook Air. My problem is that the other takes 87 GB!

    So can I reset my laptop and restore the backup later like you do with iPhones to reduce the "other"?

    I guess this could work, but I'm afraid something away...

    I hope that there is someone who can help me!

    Thank you!

    There is nothing necessarily wrong with 'other' as long it's documents, etc. that you need.

    Make a backup and a restore just grow what you have now. I would not recommend it.

  • How do I restore the backup from iPad Mini if the button "restore backup...". "is grayed out?

    Hello

    Yesterday, I tried to downgrade my iPad Mini 2 (128 GB) of 9.3 to 9.2 of iOS in DFU mode. Before that, I backed up my iPad in iTunes. After decommissioning, apparently all of my 3rd party apps have been wiped out, and that left me with a huge 'other' part of the use of the iPad. So I decided to reset the iPad and erase everything. I noticed that after the reset, the iOS returned to 9.2.1.

    When I plugged the iPad to my computer later, and tried to restore the backup, I got the message "the backup cannot be restored for iPad because the software is too old". In addition, in the iTunes iPad summary page, the button "restore backup... "is grayed out.

    I guess it's because I backed up my iPad to iOS 9.3, and now it's 9.2.1. But y at - it another way to restore backup of iTunes? Or do I have to update to 9.3 first? iOS 9.3 is currently unavailable (last week it was, however).

    Thank you!

    You cannot restore a more recent iOS backup on a device that has an older iOS. You have saved when running iOS 9.3 and your device is now in 9.2.1. You must update the device until backup, you can ise. Unfortunately, as you know, the update is no longer available. Apple shoot because there were significant problems.

    Read more here.

    For those having issues with the iOS 9.3 update please read...

  • Restore the backup after using a temporary machine for 2 months?

    I had a problem with my MBP that had a new motherboard fitted.

    Before he went to the interview, I did a full backup and for the 6 weeks have used a temporary MBAir.  When I started to use Air, I have a full restore from backup that I thought that I would need only there for about 1 week.  I copied all my work files needed overall, but don't mind not upload any music, photos, etc.

    I now have my MBP back and need to restore from the backup, BUT I also want to be able to synchronize all my work files, so that new files, I added to my working directories or keep the files that I have updated in the last 6 weeks.

    Any advice on how to do this, please?

    Very difficult. Above all, it should only be done manually.

    On the laptop with clean OS... assistant migration allows to recover your files in the backup.

    The MBA, copy the files to the MBP... easy enough for documents etc... hard work with emails... etc.

  • Restore files, backup created using Vista, you try to restore using XP

    I've known a failuren hard drive on my laptop running Vista Ultimate.  I have a backup on an external hard drive.

    I'm still hoping that I can recover data from faulty hard disk, but it doesn't look promising.

    In the meantime, I'm trying to restore the backup files using my previous laptop, which is running XP.  When I try to select the files to restore by using the backup/restore application, it can't find all the appropriate files.  He seems to want a file with an extension "BKF", but I can't find the external hard disk.

  • Windows 7 backup problem

    Hello

    I put Windows 7 up to the top for the first time.  I used an external hard drive.  I am a beginner and I have a few questions, but also a problem that I need help.

    First my questions

    (1) I put in place by selecting "Let Windows choose."  Then I put the calendar to save "Every Sunday at 21:00."  Does this mean that it will create a weekly backup of the image of the system as well?

    (2) for scheduled backups happen, what I need to be logged on my Windows user account, or it will still too long my computer is on (for example, if another Windows user account is connected, but mine isn't).

    (3) what happens if I am connected to my Windows user account, and the power kick in his mode settings "sleep."  Always, it will automatically make a backup as expected?  Or I have to wake up manually my computer "sleep" for the start of the backup?

    Now my problem

    Before today, was the date then "backup" 2015/01/03 21:00.  So he must have created backups last night.  But my external hard drive only shows backups (which are dated) the first time I put up using "save now."  Yet, the "Backup and Restore" window says "last backup: 03/01/2015 23:33.»  But there are no files with the date 03/01/2015.  What should I do?

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you
