Backup with iOS6, restore iPhone, restore backup -- will I end up with iOS6 or iOS7?

If I backup my iPhone5 that currently has iOS6, restore the iPhone, then restore backup -- will I end up with iOS6 or iOS7?  When I click "restore iPhone", a message appears that says the latest software will be installed.  I don't want iOS7 (yet).

Backups are data only, not iOS.
A restore will always be the current version of iOS for the device.

    If you never backed up your phone to iTunes and never backed it up to iCloud all of your content is gone forever.

  • Restoring iphone from backup

    is anyone else having trouble restoring iphone from backup since 2.0. it worked fine with 1.4 but i have tried it once with 2.0 and once 2.0.1 both times it said my backup was corrupt. this is getting real annoying.

    I'm about to just thow my iphone 3G out the window. I cannot upgrade the software without it hanging up and not finishing. Then I am forced to try to restore the phone, and it will not restore. I am taking it to an apple genius again today to get it restored. I have not gotten any information that has helped resolve this issue. I've been on the phone with a tier 1 and tier 2 support person for 4 hours about 3 weeks ago and I'm now in the same boat again. Any info on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated!!

  • I cannot select the last iPhone backup for a new iPhone restore

    why
    i cannot select the last iPhone backup for a new iPhone restore?

    Hey quarterback45,
    Thanks for the question. This usually occurs when your new iPhone is on a earlier iOS version than that of which the backup was created with:
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device

  • Photos in my from my iPhone have same numbering as photos from my dig camera.  They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name.  Help?

    Photos in my from my iPhone have the same numbering as photos from my digital camera.  They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name.  How do I get them all to save on my ext hard drive and hope do I prevent this numbering overlap in the future?  I'm really hoping I don't have to go through and manually rename every single picture.  Thanks.

    How are you backing up the photos?  The best way is to backup the library itself as that will preserve your organizational efforts as well as all metadata like keywords, titles, faces, places, books, etc.
    You can use a backup application that does incremental backups.  Thus only the first backup is a full one and subsequent backups just copy those files that are new or changed. I use Synk Pro.  The lower cost version, Synk, will do the same job.  Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com.  
    OR: upload your camera to a folder on the Desktop. There you can rename the files to something that is more informative than just the file name.  I use the date (international format) along with a brief desc: 2007-1-20-adian1stbday-001.jpg.  File renaming apps can also be found at MacUpdate.com.  Also you can give the folder an informatve name which will become the Event name when you import the folder of photos into iPhoto.

    how to restore iphon-without backup, after it synchronization from ipod

    Thanks Eric,
    After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
    There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
    DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
    I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
    Thanks for helping me out.
    Cheers, Rob

    Hey Oynkus,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5.  Did you update iTunes as well?
    If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
    Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help

  • In Apple Configurator, can I set up different sets of iPads with different apps loaded? Or will all iPads synced with Configurator be required to have the same build?

    In Apple Configurator, can I set up different sets of iPads with different apps loaded? Or will all iPads synced with Configurator be required to have the same build?

    Hi jshira86,
    You can definitely have different sets of iPads with different apps loaded. When you "supervise" your iPads, you will see that on the left side of the Configurator window there is a "+" sign in the lower left corner. Click it to create a new device group. With this new device group you can choose what apps and configuration profiles you want to install on that group of iPads. Create as many groups as you want to customize the apps and profiles you want on them.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn)

    Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn) Enter your DSL Account logon psassword to switch the internet connection to this computer. If I do that, other messages follow. I am usually able to switch connection, but can have only one device on internet at a time. Tried to correct problem using Airport Utility, but failed.

    Unfortunately, there is mass confusion about whether a device might be a modem or a modem/router since the terms are mixed up all the time. Even though a device might have only one Ethernet port, it can still be a router.
    If this is your "modem".......
    http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netopia-cayman-3341-router/4507-3319_7-30484785. html
    It is not a modem.....it is a modem/router. If that is the case, then the AirPort Extreme is not the only router on your network....it is one of two routers, and it should be configured to operate in Bridge Mode.
    Does this device appear to be your "modem"?

  • Problem restoring Iphone 4 backup onto my new Iphone 5 with Itunes!

    I just purchased a new Iphone 5, started it and in the configuration chose restore from itunes backup. The Iphone was connected to Itunes and the Iphone 4 backup restored onto my new phone, however only very few apps made it to the new Iphone 5! Any idea? Diskspace is the same on both phones and not full at all.

    iTunes 10.7 and the iPhone 5 require Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Mac OS X 10.6.8 requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM; to get it, click here, buy and install the DVD, and run Software Update.

  • Malware on my factory unlocked 4s?!? restore iphone or backup???

    I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4s (unlocked thru iTunes courtesy of AT&T when it was easy to do so...).  I have started to get spam ads which appear 'over' the lock screen of my phone.  These ads are in the same format as the reply from a T-Mobile short code - black background, simple white text, and a white 'Dismiss' button at the bottom of the screen.  The only way to use the phone again is to deal with the ad by hitting the 'dismiss' button.  In short, my phone is being taken over without my consent.
    I called T-Mobile tech support, Apple specialty department 3 times now.  The first time we went thru Safari and turned on block pop-ups, do not track, and cleared history/website data, then did a soft reset (held power and home button down until the device turned off, per directions).  This did not work.
    The next time I called, the person was familiar with many recent compaints on what they called 'Scensi Ads' (sp?), thought it was Facebook, so I voluntarily removed FB then did an iOS update which we thought would wipe any malware off in the process. Within 5 minutes of the update I got another ad...
    The last time I called I exchanged pictures of the ads, went thru a long discussion which was seeming to lead to nowhere, so I suggested removing ALL my apps, then doing a restore with only the factory apps.  They liked the idea if I was wiling to do so...
    So I've removed all my apps, then did a backup.  Now I'm wondering if I should do a 'restore iphone' or 'restore backup' ?  I'd like to keep all my text conversations/voicemail/call records/etc. (i.e. do the 'restore backup'), but am wondering if that's going wipe everything clean enough?
    If I do a 'restore iphone' how difficult is it to re-load my music files/contacts?
    Could this problem be coming from a source other than apps?  I'm  wondering if there is a contact I'm unaware of that is being exploited to make this happen?  I notice several contacts that I'm not sure how they got into my phone?
    If I do a 'restore iphone' to factory is there a way to selectively load contacts back on the phone (I've associated with Outlook - maybe I shouldn't associate with Outlook?)?

    UPDATE:  Was on the phone with T-Mobile last night for quite a while.  They told me they have no way of tracing these messages either(!).  They said if I removed all my apps and did a backup/restore, the only thing left was my apple id or the phone number itself.  They suggested I change my apple id and if that doesn't work then I need to change my phone number.  Very frustrating...
    Soooo, I figured what the heck and logged onto the site from the last ad from my home pc.  I posted a message asking them to remove my number from their flash text list and then another asking to remove my number and the messages from the message board when they had done so.  I expected another ad this morning but was surprised to see none. I also went back on the website and see my messages have been removed.
    Waiting to see what happens...
    Very disconcerting that no one can trace these flash texts.  I also see all over the web that these are prohibited here in the US - is this true?  Apparently newer phones are unable to do this but some older phones can still get these messages thru (and there are websites / jailbreaks that will let you do this also)?  Seems to be a problem overseas.

  • How to restore iphone from backup?

    I recently updated to 4.1 but lost all my contacts... how can I restore them from my itunes backup? thanks

    Maybe, unless there is a problem with your iPhone's backup and it sounds like there is a problem with it or you wouldn't have lost any contacts.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer and should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on your cell phone alone for this data, which can be lost or stolen.
    To restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, select Restore under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. When prompted to update your iPhone's backup, as the first step after selecting Restore, decline this prompt.
    Go to iTunes > Preferences. Under the Devices tab, how many backups are shown? If more than one, what is the date and time shown for each backup? If there is more than one backup, you may not want to select the current backup - select a previous backup when restoring your iPhone with iTunes. After the firmware is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore from the backup, which is the default selection. If there is more than one backup available, the most recent backup will be selected by default. If more than one backup is available, you can select from another or previous backup.

  • IPhone has been syncing for 2 hrs, now iTunes doesn't recognize my phone and is "restoring iPhone from backup"

    It's been a while since I've synced with my computer (yes, I'm still on iOS 4.0). Tonight I finally synced all my music, apps, purchases, etc. Tried to import all photos into iPhoto (tried 3 times) and about a third of the way through my 3,000 files it quit on me and didn't import a single thing.
    After I did a manual backup of the phone, iTunes said it would download the file to update my iOS to 5.0. Took almost an hour to get the update file... and now iTunes no longer sees my iPhone as "Erica's iPhone," it's just a generic iPhone symbol and it says "Set up your iPhone" / "This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or other device" / "Restore from backup" which started automatically. Am I about to lose everything on my phone?!?!?!
