Can you restore an iPhone without deleting all of your progress in your apps?

Hey,
I was just wondering if it was possible to restore my iPhone 4 (version 4.2.1), but not delete all of my precious progress in the apps I have??
Please reply soon.
Thanks

Restoring will reset your iPhone and then iTunes will present you the options of:
- Configure as a new iPhone
- Restore from a back-up
By restoring the back-up all progress that you've made since that back-up will be lost. You can check the time & date of the back-up by going to your iTunes Preferences, category "Devices".
Regards,

  • How can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data

    how can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data. unfortunately i have deleted few of my old photos and restored them from my old backup. i got the deleted photos but lost my recent data and photos. how can i get those too.

    You cannot. However, if your back up is through iTunes on your computer and you do an internet search for something like "iPhone BackUpExtractor", I believe there is software that will help you access the SQL database that is your back up. You may be able to pull out what you need.
    Once you restore from a back up, any data that was on the phone is gone.

    You should ALWAYS import all pics ( and anything selse for that matter) before any update. 
    If you failed to do this, then the pics are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.

    Well, I believe I found it.....
    When I connect the IPhone the device name pops up under devices in the selection column. Right click on the device name and select "Back-up".....
    If this is incorrect please let others know as I won't be able to because my wife will have destroyed all computers in the house for losing her data.

  • How do you restore your iPhone without deleting all your apps?

    Ok so I'm trying to remove Cydia from my iPhone 4, and I wanted to make sure it's fully removed. I managed to delete the app straight from my iPhone by force deleting the Cydia Installer package, and the icon is totally gone my iPhone. I deleted it because the jailbreak is eating up my battery. However, I don't think the jailbreak is completely removed.
    Question: How do you restore your iPhone from iTunes without deleting all your apps and everything from your iPhone? Like when I click restore it says it will delete it and you will have to repurchase your apps. I have tons of apps and I don't want to spend my money for the same thing twice! I want to know how (step-by-step) to back up and restore your iPhone without it messing with any of the photos, apps, etc.
    Also, will updating your firmware to 4.1 wipe out the jailbreak?
    Thanks a ton.

    How do I know if it's on my computer?
    If you bought the apps via iTunes, they will be on your computer. If you bought them with the iPhone, syncing would have transferred them. Look for them in:
    ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications
    Photos taken with the iPhone are transferred via iPhoto or Image Capture when the phone is connected to the computer. Other photos on the phone must have been synched from the computer, so should still be there.

  • Can you restore an iPhone from a backup that was done from a different iPhone?

    Here's the scenario.  I've been backing up my iPhone 5 on iTunes so there's a backup file there but that iPhone is damaged and might not be recoverable.  If I get a replacement phone, can I still use that backup file to restore the new phone despite the fact that it'll be a different serial number etc. than the phone the backup is based on?  Can I restore an iPhone 4 as well as an iPhone 5 from that same backup file?

    Hi Guchman,
    Yes you can set up a new phone from a backup from another phone as long as the iOS is the same. Here is a support article that should help:

  • I was updating my iphone in itunes, then it said the update went wrong and now does not recognize the phone. Says that it is an unknown iphone and I must restore the phone. How can I get it back without deleting all of my stuff?

    I was updating my phone in itunes and the "update went wrong" and now the phone is not recognized by itunes. I unattatched the phone and it wont turn on or off, just shows a picture of the itunes symbol and a usb cord. In itunes it says that it is an unknown iphone and is in recovery mode so I need to restore the phone. If I restore the phone I loose all my pictures, which I dont want to do...and my contacts. Is there any way around this, so I can get my phone back to normal without wiping it all out? Thanks

    To be more clear:
    Was you phone hacked/jailbroken BEFORE you hooked it up?

  • Can you restore an iPhone from an iPod backup?

    Hi Everybody,
    I plan on buying an iPhone 4S (64 GB Black) on Friday, and have been using an iPod Touch 2nd Generation (8 GB) for over a year and a half. I love my iPod, and have a lot of pictures, data from apps, et cetera stored on it, and I would obviously want them on my shiny new iPhone, running the way they did on my iPod. I am especially concerned with game progress, as I love my iPod as a gaming machine and hope that my progress would transfer over to my iPhone.
    I'm wondering if I will have the option of "restoring" my new iPhone from the iPod backup. This would save me a LOT of time.
    If so, how much of the data would sync over? Would it be literally everything?
    Lastly, would data from apps I've deleted also be synced over to the iPhone? I have way more than 8 GB worth of apps, and I've deleted some of them along the way. They're still stored on my computer, but no longer on my iPod. Would their data be on the iPhone if I reinstalled them on my iPhone?
    The iPod touch is running iOS 4.2.1, and the iPhone will be running iOS 5.
    Thanks for taking the time to look at my question, and I hope you can help! It's certainly appreciated!

    When I got my iPhone 4 earlier this year, I was able to select my 2G Touch's backup to transfer all my app data, preferences, etc. over to the iPhone.  There's no guarantee this will work with iOS 5 and iPhone 4S, but I don't see why not.
    But assuming that is will work as in the past, during the iPhone setup process you will be prompted to either set it up as a new device or from a backup. If you select your Touch's backup then all the settings and preferences you've set on the Touch will be applied to the iPhone (minus passwords, for security reasons).  If you have any media (apps, music, etc.) in your library that are not currently on your Touch, all you need to do is tweak your iPhone's sync settings to pick additional (or different) items.
    However, one caveat that I learned from my experience -- As the iPhone setup proceeds, it will get to a point where everything's set up, but it has not sync'd anything yet (I think by default it will wait until you click the Sync button). Before you sync the iPhone to your library, eject the iPhone and go into the iPhone's settings and sign into your iTunes account, then re-connect to iTunes and then sync your content. If you don't sign in before syncing you may get error 13 (that drove me batty until I figured this out).
    Also, if you're going to continue using the Touch, then I'd recommend re-naming your iPhone after it is set up so that subsequent backups of the two devices are easily distinguished from each other, in case someday you want to restore from a backup.

  • Can i restore my iPhone without the SIM card?

    HELLO! I have a new issue.
    I updated my carrier plan. It started in April 2012 and finished in April 2014. I got an iPhone 5S in that transaction, but my old iPhone 3GS works yet.
    I want restore it to delete ALL DATA (it's so slow), but i'm not secure, usually the iPhones require a SIM Card to activate the phone. Really, it have a SIM Card, but isn't working, the carrier deactivated it and ever says: "No Service".
    Should i restore it by iTunes to iOS 6.1.6?
    Thank you!

    Your iPhone just needs to have a SIM in it in order for the restore to complete - the SIM does not need to be active. As long as it's present in the phone, the restore should complete unless there's another issue with the phone

  • How do I sync apps stored on two computers to my iPhone without deleting all of the apps on one or the other?

    I would like to have all of my phone apps in one place (home computer), When I switched from laptop to desktop the phone apps in itunes didn't migrate to the new computer. I try to sync the phone to the desktop all of the old apps that are on the laptop are deleted and vice versa. Is there some simple solution that I'm missing here? Suggestions?

    Whenever you sync to a different iTunes library all will delete all iTunes media (apps, music, etc.) will be deleted and replaced with the media in the new library.  To prevent this, transfer your apps and other purchaed media to the new library and establish syncing with the new library without data loss, follow the steps in this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
