How can I restore notes on iPhone from my icloud backup?

Restore the backup. Backups are all or nothing.
If notes were synced to iCloud, simply sync them.

How can I restore my iPhone from a different backup?

Okay I don't know if this is possible, but it would really make my life easier if someone knew how to do this.
My old iPhone was named Joe's iPhone. It had all my contacts, pics, apps, everything. That phone broke and my Mom gave me her old iPhone, both are 3g. So on my computer I obviously had sync'd my old phone (Joe's iPhone) and backed it up. Can I restore my Moms phone and boot it up with my old backup so I'll have all my contacts? I've tried restoring it, but I also backed up my Mom's phone on my computer so whenever I restore it, it just comes back with all her contacts. I want to chose to restore from my old phone backup.
Is this possible? Can anyone walk me through doing that?

Hi Joe,
Just right-click on the iPhone(on the left side of iTunes, under Devices) and then choose Restore from Backup. Then choose the backup that has the date and name of your previous phone.

HT1766 how can i restore my iphone from an old backup?

hi! does anybody know how to restore from an old backup? I backed up my phone this morning and deleted a bunch of pictures on it to see if it would help with the issue of it being slow, it didn't. When I plugged up my phone back in, it automatically backed it up again. Now, when I try to restore it - I only have the option from the latest backup, but I need to restore it from this morning. Please help!

Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

I lost all my contacts. How do i restore my phone from an icloud backup?

I tried to restore from the cloud today after my contacts disappeared. I went to Settings-ICloud-Contacts and turned off my contacts. Now the phone is stuck on "Turning off contacts." Apple wants my serial number, etc., to help, but I can't get that info from my phone because....it's stuck on "Turning off contacts!" I really hate IOS 7.

HT1414 How can I restore my CONTACTS from the icloud

How can I restore my CONTACTS from iCloud ??

You re-sync them by setting up your iCloud account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and turning on the 'contact sync', assuming that's what you were syncing them with before. If you were not syncing them with iCloud (syncing is NOT the same as backing up), then you will have to re-sync them from whatever you were syncing them with.

How can I restore my iPhone 4's iOS5 backup without restoring iOS if the option to "Restore from Backup" doesn't appear when I right click it in the device list?

(Lengthy question, I know Let me explain.)
A few days ago, I decided to clear out the music on my computer. So, I copied everything out of iTunes to my external hard drive (podcasts, music, movies, tv shows, books, and apps) and deleted all that I could find, including the iTunes folder. I forgot that the iTunes library files were in there, and those went too; unsurprisingly, I was greeted with an empty library when I next opened iTunes. After adding all my files back from my external hard drive, everything's all good there - no lost files, everything seems fine. However, since my library is a "new" library, iTunes wishes to erase everything on my iPhone 4. Which is also fine, for everything except my apps. I'd really rather not lose all my application settings and data that are saved in my backup. But, I cannot just "Restore from Backup" by right-clicking my device in the list in iTunes, so... I haven't synced my iPhone since I did this, so all of my data is still on there, but it's in the backup as well. If I have to erase all iTunes content, I definitely have to be able to restore the backup over it since I don't want to lose all my settings and Springboard layout. I'd prefer not to restore iOS because I don't want to go from iOS5 to 5.0.1, nor do I have 8 hours to download the IPSW file on my super-speedy internet connection Any guidance on restoring my iPhone from its backup?

Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

How can i restore my iphone from a back up that is not listed on itunes

I need to restore my iPhone from a backup that is not listed in the itunes backup section. I only did it at 6 pm yesterday. Is there a way to find this backup on my computer and return it to the itunes backup list?

Normally backups are incremental, and you can only restore the latest. EXCEPT that a backup of an earlier version is archived, and the first backup of the new version is thus complete. You should be able to restore a 6.1.4 backup to iOS 7. Click the Restore Backup button. The dialog that comes up should have a dropdown where you can select a backup to restore. If the old one does not show up it cannot be restored.
However, since you appear to have a Mac, if you use Time Machine you can restore an earlier backup over the current one from your Time Machine history.
You can also back up to iCloud, even if you don't sync to it. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
One well hidden feature (for future use) is archiving backups. If you go to iTunes Preferences/Devices, right click on the current backup and choose "Archive". The next backup you make will be a competely new one, and the old one will be preserved and can be restored at any time.

How can I restore my iPhone from icloud with 2 different accounts?

I have two accounts. When I restore my iPhone from icloud with account A, the apps I bought with account B cannot be restored. What can I do?

The iCloud account is different from the iTunes store account, although you can use the same ID for both. in your case you can only use one iTunes account at a time to get previously bought apps, music, etc.Once you change to the other one, the stuff from the first account is deleted. In other words you can only realistically use one iTunes account. The same goes with iCloud. you must now decide which account for iTunes you want to stick with. apple does not let you merge two iTunes accounts.

How can i restore my iPhone from an older back-up?

Hi there,
Recently, my iPhone 4 was restored by Apple. When I plugged my iPhone in to iTunes it automatically synced and did a back-up. It then restored my phone with the apps and music that were on my phone at the time of the last back-up, however not with the contacts or photos.
Is there any possible way to restore my iPhone with the photos and contacts that were on my phone at the time of the last back-up? Is there a way to restore your iPhone from an older back-up (not the latest one)? Please help!! PLEASE!!

Hi AnaMusic,
Thanks for your reply. I don't really understand your answer though. I plugged my iPhone into iTunes with the intention of restoring from my latest back-up as I have lost all my photos and contacts on my phone. However, when I plugged it in it automatically did a sync and a back-up. Now when I click restore from back-up it just restores to what I have on my iPhone now, because that was the latest back-up (it did it automatically). Do you understand what I mean?
What I am wondering is whether or not I am able to restore my contacts and photos from my last iTunes back-up (before today's one)?
Thanks.
P.S - My photos and contacts did not save to Address Book and iPhoto if that helps.
