Can you sync/ restore an iPhone 5 with ios6 using backup data from an iPod touch 4g running ios5?

Ok! So I've preordered my first iPhone ever, the iPhone 5. I will finally be letting my iPod touch go!
I've synced my iPod touch 4g to iTunes so that once I receive the iPhone, I can plug it in and restore and sync all my purchased apps, etc. However, the iPod touch is on ios 5. I do not plan to update and back it up on ios6. Will there be any issues. When I try to restore my iPhone 5 on iOS 6 using data from a iPod touch 4g that ran ios5?

It should be fine.  I restored my new iPod Touch from the backup of my iPad.  You will have to reenter keychain items like passowords since keychain items only restore back to the same device unless you use an encrypted backup.  The iOS of the target device (phone for you) has to be at lest as great as that of the source device.

  • Can you safely restore an iPhone with an iPod backup?

    I'm upgrading my iPod touch (on 4.3.3) to an iPhone 4S (on 5, obviously) and am trying to transfer my songs, videos and apps WITH app data to the iPhone. I have everything I need on iTunes already. If I plugged in my iPhone and synced my iPhone, I'd imagine I'd have no app data. What I was thinking is backing up my 4.3.3 64G 4th Gen iPod Touch, and restoring that on a 5.0 64G iPhone 4S. Is this possible, or will iTunes think of the iPhone as an iPod, which could end up with messy results, to say the least.

  • Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

    Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

    No you don't. You log into iTunes with your Apple ID but you can use one Apple ID for iTunes and a different Apple ID for iCloud. On your device go:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and sign in with a new Apple ID
    This will only change the Apple ID for iCloud and both devices will continue to download apps and backup to the shared iTunes account.

  • Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

    All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc.  Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones.  I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
    It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch. 
    As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great.  And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen.  And cool colors! 
    Don't know if this helps . . .

  • I can't sync/back up iPhone data to my computer b/c iPhone screen is shattered and i cant unlock it to enter in my passcode. How can I sync my broken iPhone with my computer and back up my data so I can sync and transfer the data to my replacement iPhone?

    I can't sync my iPhone and back up my data with my computer because iTunes says to enter the passcode into my iPhone to unlock it, but I am unable to unlock and enter in my passcode on my iPhone because the screen is shattered. I have my replacement iPhone with me and I'm not going to activate it until I can sync/get the data from my broken iPhone. I have the envelope to send my broken iPhone back to the Verizon store or whatever so that's not a problem. I just can't sync my old iPhone with my computer.
    Thanks.

    No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
    I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
    Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
    Thanks.

  • Can i sync 2 different iphone with 2 different numbers using one apple computer?

    can i sync 2 different iphone with 2 different numbers using one apple computer?

    You can sync as many devices as you like to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep it all straight by device, including separate backups.

  • Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help

    Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help

    Yes i had not taken back up before restoring it. However i was just going through some links on the net and there is a software available for MAC to retrieve such lost data. But the point is will the said software work on iphone as the OS is not MAC..
    Will have to give a try to this. If successful will share it with all. Anyone else has any idea about this please so share.

    Thanks

    I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
    What is "it" and what is "windows"?
    Maybe:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • How can you transfer data from an ipod touch to the itunes library without having all your data deleted?

    I have a laptop and the hard drive had to be replaced because it WILL NOT work (This broken hard drive will be refered to as "HD1" from now on). So I had no choice but to have HD1 replaced with a better hard drive (the new one will be refered to as "HD2" from now on). I had HD1 for about 5 years, but what is stuck on HD1 is my itunes library will all of my music, like I said before HD1 will not work so I cannot retrieve any of my itunes data, or any data to be exact. But also, my data that was synced in HD1's itunes library is also on my ipod touch, which is still functional for the time being. HD2 has been installed and working perfectly and I installed itunes on it as well. If I synced my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library, all of my music on the ipod touch will get deleted. What I'm trying to do is have all of my music on my ipod touch transfered to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted.
    Key things to remember:
    -"HD1" is my broken hard drive
    -"HD2" is my new and awesome hard drive
    -I can't access HD1 at all because it doesn't work
    -I have an ipod touch with all of HD1's music on it
    -HD2 has an empty itunes library on it
    -I need a way to transfer all the data on my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted
    Is there someone, anyone who can help me out with this?

    I think so when you sign in your itunes library with your apple id which you were using on HD1 the data will be transfered or simply use icloud.

  • Can you sync your ipad & iphone to the same itunes account yet or?

    its been over year now and the iPad 2 is out, its apparently evident that when something goes wrong no one response here with a solution, can you or can you not sync both a iPad and iPhone with the same iTunes account flawlessly yet, because i helped over 4 people to do this and every single method seems to be work arounds.
    has anyone figured out how to sync both devices to the same itunes account with out work arounds after all your apps get scattered outside their folders?

    You have always been able to sync as many devices as you like to one account/library/computer.
    Plug in one device, select what you want to sync, then sync.
    Unplug that device.
    Plug in the other device, select what you want to sync, then sync.

  • HT4972 Can you sync and back up with a dial up connection

    Can you back up iPhone 3GS using a dial up connection?  If not what other options?

    If you are trying to back up to iCloud, I don't think so.  But even if you normally back up to iCloud you can still perform a manual backup with iTunes.  Just connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Backup.  This will create a backup on your computer which can later be used, if necessary, to restore from using iTunes.

  • HT1212 hello i forgot my passcode and i need to restore my iphone with out loosing its data can u please help me

    can u please say me how to restore my iphone wen i forgot my pass code with out loosing its data

    If you have not had a backup of the data before, you need to check this support document you linked here from about removing the passcode. Without a current backup, you are going to lose data.
