How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?
How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone? I did something wrong as now nothing is on my phone but several questions such as language, etc. They keep repeating. When I turn phone completely off, the same thing happens when I turn it on. It is very frustrating now to have no phone service or anything at all on my phone.
It sounds as if the phone is waiting to be activated. Did you update software or something like that on the phone? You can either try to finish the Setup routine, or you can connect the device to iTunes on the computer and then after selecting the iPhone in the device pane, click on the button that says Restore a Backup.

just got an iPad 2 and neither Keynote nor Pages were compatible. when I updated iOS as requisited, the backup from iTunes didn't work. the iPad doesn't connect to iTunes. what do I do?
Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Restoring iphone backup from itunes account with multiple phones.
Hi, I wonder if anyone can please help.
Problem as follows:
Backed up/synced both my wifes and my iphone 4 to the same itunes account on Macbook. Wifes phone gets stolen, so get myself new iphone 5 and new Macbook. Managed to set up and get my data onto new phone without any problems, so all sorted.
I now want to pass on my old iphone 4 to my wife, but I cant restore the back up from her stolen phone on the old Macbook as itunes seems to only recognize and associates this phone with its last back up containing my data. Is there anyway that I can restore from the stolen phones backed up data? I have tried restoring the phone to factory settings, but then I still only get the option to restore from that phones original back up.
Would be grateful for any help.
ThxYes it is possible. Just log in on both phones using the same iTunes account info.
As far as synching goes, iTunes remembers the info you want synch'ed on each phone separately.
If you download an app on one phone and pay for it, it will be free to download on the 2nd phone as long as you use the same iTunes login -
I don't know if I'm repeating my question. I can't restore my ipad after updating to latest ios. The battery went low, I had to eject and plug in to charge. The set up will not complete without resoring from icloud or itunes (i backed up to computer using itunes) or setting up the ipad as a New ipad. I want to restore all my stuff but the message I get in itune says "Find my ipad must be turned off before 'ipad' can be restored". Go to icloud settings on your ipad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring your iPad.". I cant' get to this setting on my ipad because the set up is not complete!!! I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid if I set up the ipad as new it will backup the new ipad over my previous backup and then I will loose all my photos, songs, aps, notes,......
I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''( -
When I try to turn on my new iPhone 5s, the ONLY options it gives me is to either backup from the iCloud or restore backup from iTunes. I have already restored the backup from iTunes, so I don't know why it keeps telling me to restore the backup. And why won't it give me any other options? I can't text, call, etc. My phone will do NOTHING.
Any suggestions?It seems you restored from a blank back up if it is still asking you to choose one of those options. Set it up as new then manually restore from back up with iTunes on your computer and be sure to check the date of the back up an which phone the back up is from.

Hello Ann Marie Henry,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to restore your backup from iTunes. I recommend reviewing the following article to resolve an issue like the one you described:

I'm trying to update my iphone 4 and in order to compelte the restore backup from itunes i need to turn off the 'find my iphone' but i cant get passed the restore backup stage - what should i do?
Hi beckiewinter!
I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:
iCloud - iPhone User Guide

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

After moving from Canada to the US, getting a new iPhone 5C, and restoring my backup from iCloud, I can't update my apps. I get an error message that my account is not valid in the Canadian App store and I must change to the US store. How do I do that?
Change here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
You must have a verified billing address & be located in the country whose store you are trying to use. -
I have an iPhone 4, and waited a long time to update my iOS because I heard the new ones were buggy. Finally I had to update to iOS 6, but then iTunes automatically synced with my new phone and erased my backup. I lost everything on my phone.
1) I have a Time Machine backup that I completed yesterday. If I take my phone to the Genius Bar tomorrow, will they be able to use it to recover my content?
2) I have heard of this happening to a ton of people, how can Apple sit by and let this happen? (More of a rhetorical complaint than a question, feel free to ignore...)
Thanks,
Sarah.Hello rustyfeathers,
The backups certainly can be restored from Time Machine, and here is the location where they are:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
From: iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
And in case you need some assistance with restoring from Time Machine, here is the article for that:

How can I restore an old backup from iTunes?
I would like to restore a backup from yesterday. The most current backup was today because it is set on auto backup. When I select 'Restore Backup', the only option I get is the file from this morning.
I have already located the file I want to restore and saved it to my desktop. How do I select that file in iTunes when I try to back up?
Thanks.
