Accidentally back up my new iPhone and it replaces my old iPhone backup

Hi everyone, need help here.
Today i went to my local telco to have my iPhone 5 changed due to some problems. and before that, i backed up my phone this morning at 10:25am. Then i changed my old phone to a new one and i came home to restore my 10:25am backup to my new iPhone. But i clicked wrongly, instead of clicking restore backup, i clicked onto back up now. and now my 10:25am backup is replaced with 3:03pm backup. Any ways to help me undo this action?
Please help!
Jeremy

Is there nothing from your old backup on the new phone?
Start with deleting all content on your iphone as if you are running a fresh iphone and connect to itunes to perform backup from "10:25am" backup.

I accidentally backed up my new iphone to my moms icloud account she's currently using. If i erase all content does it erase everything on her phone also? or just off the phone im using

So i just bought a new iphone and was trying to back it up onto my computer. I accidentally backed it up onto my moms icloud account that she is currently using. If i erase all content and settings will it delete everything in general or just off MY iphone that im currently using? I just need to reverse it but i don't want to delete all of her data, etc.

Hi brifuhrman,
Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll down to the bottom of the screen. Click on Delete Account and type in your Mom's iCloud password when it asks. Follow the prompts to finish deleting the iCloud account from your phone.
Once you have deleted that iCloud account from your phone, see if the things that you no longer want on your device are gone. If they are, then sign on to iCloud with your own iCloud ID and you will be ready to go.
If there are still things you need deleted from your device then start from scratch by doing a Reset All Content and Settings.
Cheers,

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?

"gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

Hi Khuram1981 - thank you thank you thank you! All sorted! dont suppose you know how to fix another problem I have??? for weeks now, since updating to ios5 I think, for some reason every time I have tried to log onto app store it says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE. It's nothing to do with my computer, and I've been to the Geniius bar but they couldnt help and nothing I seem to do lets me update my Apps and even worse, I cant even buy any more. Any suggestions?
Again thank you SO much for helping with other problem = a real relief.

I am trying to back up my new iPhone after downloading/updating iTunes with iCloud. I get this message: The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permiss

I am trying to back up my new iPhone after downloading/updating iTunes with iCloud. I get this message: The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permiss
how do I find the file and replace it or install it?

I'll reload it tonight when I get home...basically, I bought a new iPhone and downloaded some new medical apps. also had to download an update for iTunes into my mac laptop so I could access iCloud (which was NOT on my prior iTunes software)
When I synched my new iPhone with the newly downloaded iTunes, I registered my iphone and tried to "back it up" to iCloud and the message indicating that "the required file was not found or has a permissions error...." popped up.
How do I correct the permissions error, or...am I able to do this somewhere? Or...how do I find the file that is missing?

I'm backing up my new iphone 5 from icloud and it's taking forever to download my photos. It being going for four days. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm backing up my new iphone 5 from icloud and it's taking forever for my photos to download. It's been going for 4 days. It's downloaded 1400 out of 1900 photos. Am I doing something wrong?

I think you may not using the right technical terms. When backing up to icloud, there is no way you'd get a message saying things will be wiped. This message may be displayed when you are performing a RESTORE from a backup and then trying to cancel it.
If you are doing a restore, then you can reboot and restore again.

i don't see a way for you to back up your phone, because it will require you to unlock the phone.

HT4913 My laptop and iPhone both crashed I have lost all my music contacts everything is there a way to get any of it back on my new iPhone ?

My laptop and my iPhone both crashed I have lost all my contacts music and pictures is there anyway of getting any of it back for my new iPhone 4S

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, tehn you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Everything else is gone, if you have failed to backup or sync it to icloud or some other cloud service.

I accidentally set up my new iPhone 4S as a new phone instead of backing up from my iPhone 3. Is there any way to get all my texts

I accidentally set up my new iPhone 4S as a new phone instead of using the backup I had from my old iPhone 3. Is there anyway to get my texts & contacts from that old backup now?

Neither of the above two posts will help you. If you want to restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone, you will have to start from scratch. On your new phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Once done, you'll now be able to restore the backup of your old phone to your new phone.

HT201302 How do i get photos from my old iphone saved on a flashdrive to upload to itunes so that i can get them back on my new iphone?

So I needed to get a new iphone because my old one had a broken lock button and it was in my warranty that i could get a new one for free so i did. Knowing that, before the switch of phones i downloaded all of my pictures and videos onto my dell laptop under windows photo gallery thinking that i could transfer them back onto my new iphone once i got it. I thought that i knew how to do this but i guess i dont. i uploaded all of the photos from my laptop onto a new flashdrive i just bought hoping that i could some how transfer the photos to my desktop computer that has itunes on it. i was also unsuccessful in doing this so now i have no idea what to do! please help!

You need to put the folder of pictures somewhere on the computer that contains iTunes. After connecting the phone to the computer, selecting the phone and looking in iTunes, go to the Photos tab and select these photos and sync.

HT1766 After I backed up my new iPhone with content from my old iPhone, all of my new content was deleted. How do I retrieve it?

After backing up my new iPhone with content from my old iPhone, all of my new content (photos, voice memos, etc) was deleted. How do I retreive this?

If you just bought the iPhone today, the first time you connect a new iPhone or iOS device to iTunes the first time that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new iOS device, or set up the new device as a new device.
Sounds like you did the former and if so, this did not include backing up the new iPhone first. All data on the iPhone was replaced with the backup for the iPod Touch. The data that was on the iPhone at that time is gone.
