[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1856842, member: 46727"] If you are sure that you once had an older backup made with iTunes, it may be possible to restore that backup by restoring your iMac to an earlier date using Time Machine. I ran into that very problem you're having with my wife's iPhone. Fortunately, I had a Time Machine backup that I could use to restore my iMac to a date when the older backup existed. From that I was able to restore her phone's data. The current method of backing up iOS devices is done thru the Finder and there is no way to store more than one backup for each device. The current backup overwrites the previous one. Backing up via iCloud is a must in addition to iTunes or the Finder. [/QUOTE]
