I have never connected my iphone5 to my computer because the computer was broken. Now that it is fixed, I want to know if I will lose all my photos and texts on the 5 if I restore from last backup of my 4s?

If you restore to an older backup, you will get the content that is in the backup. Everything on the iPhone will be erased and you will be brought back to the time that backup was made. See this document prepared by another user about syncing to a new computer https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I need to restore from last backup because my iPhone is having issues. I'd like to keep certain pictures and videos from my iPhone app: Video Safe. If I do restore from last backup, will the pics that I put on the app after my last backup still be on it?

My iPhone keeps switching between turning wheel and iPhone logo so I need to restore from last backup. I just really want to keep certain videos and pictures from the Video Safe app which were added to it after the last backup.

Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

TS4036 how do i restore to the backup before last

i need to restore my ipod to a backup from 2 days ago but i have buckuped since then
HELP

Apple states that it maintains up to 3 iCloud backups. To restore to an iCloud backup you have to erase your iPod, then go back through the initial setup screens. If you have any newer data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). You will then be given an option of which backup to restore to. Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

First, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and disable automatic syncing (iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"). Now connect your phone, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup. When done, you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.

Moved from an iphone 4s to a 5...Do I "restore from last backup" or set up a new phone?

I just went from an iphone 4s to a 5 and I'm trying to set it up and I don't know if I am supposed to back it up by "restoring from the last back up ? Which I thought was last night, but apparently it is saying my last backup was Nov. 14th. Or do I choose "set up a new iPhone"? Which do I choose?
My new phone automatically grabbed all my contacts and caldendar, notes, etc from the cloud, just don't know what do do from here.

you can get your playlists and apps back by syncing with itunes.
restoring from a backup is generally the quickest way to get everything back on the phone.

HT1766 How can I select an older backup to restore my device from, rather than restoring from last backup performed?

I did a backup after doing a sync with my iTunes only to find that I un-ticked the sync apps box, resulting in my apps to be deleted and most of them losing their data. I have all the data of these apps on backups I did previously to the most recent one but don't know how to select older backups.
Is their anyway to restore my device from an older backup, rather than the most recent one?

Knowing where backups are stored is one thing, interpreting them (and getting them back to your iOS device) is another!
If you did your sync, but no backup immeiately after it (for some reaon some people do) then you may have success. Without connecting your iPad to our computer, go to the screen I mentioned in my earlier post and put a tick in the box PREVENT IPOD .... FROM BACKING UP AUTOMATICALLY and click OK. Then connect your iPad and restore from the previous backp if it is there! You can then go back and change the PREVENT...... setting.
When you get this all sorted out you can consider iCloud for additional backups. If you do not use iCloud routinely then you can switch it on temporarily to do a manual backup, even multiple backups.
However, you can trick iTunes into doing additional backups by changing the device name. For instance, you can do a backup under the device name of, say, Liam's iPad, then change the iPad name to Liam's iPad 1, Liam's iPad 2, etc with a backup under each name! Whichever backup name you use in due course to restore your iPad is the name that will appear as your device name under Settings on the iPad.

How can I restore from icloud backup after activating replacement phone as new

I activated a replacement iphone 5. When I tried to restore from my iCloud backup, it said the os of the backup was not compatible with the replacement phone os so I chose the option to activate as a new phone. (Old phone was on 7 - replacement phone was sent to me with an earlier os).

Apple does provide instructions.

Restoring from last backup

Hello, I recently updated my ios to 6.1.1 (iPhone 4s Vodafone uk), had a lot of trouble last night as my phone wouldn't install the ios and wouldn't restore to the last backup. Spoke to AppleCare and they helped me out, but my phone still wasn't restoring on my windows computer (I normally sync using windows). So I then connected my phone to my MacBook as a last resort and the update and restore worked fine. Only problem is that the last time I backup my phone on my MacBook was around November 2011, so I have lost a fair bit of data. I have now connected my phone to my windows computer, and now I'm a bit worried to whether I should restore my backup & iCloud backup on the windows computer onto my phone, my last backup on my windows computer was done last night (12/2/2013). Will all my data be restored back to last night and will the ios 6.1.1 still remain?
Thanks

Can you restore from last backup, instead of restore from factory settings?

To make this short, my phone is having a few problems. They have been happening ever since my last sync. Is it possible to restore from the last backup, or do I need to do a complete restore? And if the latter, what will be missing after the restore- can I just restore and then put all my music/contacts/video/apps back on? Will I lose any content, such as pictures I have taken on the phone, text messages, calendar events? Is that not what the backup is for?
I believe this is a simple enough question to answer, so thank you in advance!

When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, there are 2 options. From your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
Your iPhone's backup includes data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, contact info, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, photos in your iPhone's camera roll, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app. All other data transferred to your iPhone from your computer via the iTunes sync process should remain on your computer.
Photos in your iPhone's camera roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contact info and calendar events is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup alone for this data and the same for photos in your iPhone's camera roll since your iPhone's backup includes other data.
When restoring, your iPhone will be erased and the firmware will be reinstalled. After the firmware is installed, you will be prompted to restore from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. This must be followed by a sync with iTunes to transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps, and any photos from your computer.
If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup or with the data included with the backup, restoring your iPhone from the backup will also restore the problem.
