Restoring an old back-up? Everything gone! Please assist.
Hi all,
My mother wanted to update her 3G, but she did not have iTunes installed. I installed it on her computer and ran the update. Because it automatically had "sync contacts to Outlook" checked off when iTunes was installed, it wiped all of her contacts. In addition, it wiped all text messages, pictures, everything except for her Apps. Now, I'm trying to figure out a way to restore to an old back up with the contacts sync'd. I assume that it creates a back up when you choose to update?
Is there any free way of restoring from an old back up without buying that awfully expensive "Time Machine" ?
