How do i restore my old phones Backup on my new phone

I just had my phone replaced and cannot figure out how to restore all my information that is (or atleast should be) on backup on my computer?

When you connect your new phone, itunes running, Right-click (or Control-click) your phone in the device pane, and choose Restore from Backup. Follow this by syncing your itunes content back to your phone. The only things that won't ne restored are passwords for wifi & email. These are not restored for security reasons.

  • I got a new iphone 6.  When I restore my phone from my icloud backup my most recent photos and messages not restored from icloud backup.  How do I get the most recent backup onto my new phone?

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.  
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
    Cheers,

  • I got a new iphone 5c for Xmas and my laptop is registered with my iphone 4, which I no longer use or have hence the new phone lol. How do I remove the old info and register my new phone? Will it let me?

    You do not register the phone with the laptop. If you are using the same Apple ID on the new phone as the old, you will have no trouble. Connect the phone and you can restore from a backup of the old phone, or just sync your new phone if it is already set up, with the laptop, managing your content in iTunes.

    Yes.  It will only erase the phone, not any data or backups from icloud.com.  If you think it was stolen, you might want to read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668.

  • HT1766 I just restored my old iphone data to my new phone. When I tried to send an email, it kept asking me for my email password. I couldn't remember it and kept trying over and over. Now email wont send and I keep getting a Cannot Send Mail:

    I restored my phone data onto my new phone. When I tried to send email it asked me for my email password, which I couldn't remember. Now I keep getting an error message whenever I try to send an email. How do I reset this so it works?

    Until you can enter that password it kept asking for, you won't be able to send mail. You need to go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Email Account you are referring to>SMTP server, and make changes there. If you cannot remember your email password, you will have to get in touch with your provider to be able to change it.

  • How do i download my last iCloud backup to my new phone?

  • How do I restore a Time Machine backup from a newer MacBook Pro to an older MacBook Pro?

    My MacBook Pro is in the shop and am using my older MacBook Pro in the meantime. I want to restore my older computer with the lastest backup from my newer computer, but I'm not able to see/access the backups from my newer computer - I can only see the backups from my old computer. Any suggestions?

    That is probably due to the older computer being too old.
    You can do a manual restore to a USB drive plugged into the computer. Then select the files you want.
    See pondini Q14-17 on restore.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Particularly 16 and 17.
    You tend to migrate from older to newer computer and OS.. and it is not going to work the other way around.

  • How do I retain my old number? After my new phone has arrived?

    Hi Can some one please inform me how to retain my old mobile number after I have received my new phone?  I have had my number since 1992 & do not wish to change it. Thanks  Kathy

    Assuming you recuested an upgrade you will receive new phone and a NEW sim. You would need to power off your old phone and insert new sim into your new phone then LEAVE your phone connected for a minimum of 4 hours. Please note that the activation of the SIM might take up to 24 hours. As soon your sim is activated you can use your previous/old number.

  • HT201269 I am trying to restore an old back up to a new phone but it will not allow because it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the password I am using is the only password I have?? Help?  What does this mean?

    I am trying to restore an old iphone to a new iphone but it will not allow becaue it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the passwork I am using works for my ITunes account and is the only password I have..?? Please help!!  Thank you.

    When using the iPhone with the Windows OS, you need to have the Apple Mobile Device Service running. It should start automatically when you start the computer, but sometimes things happen. Use this support document to try and restart the service. See if that helps.

  • How can I restore an old iPhone backup from Time Machine?

    Hi there,
    I lost my iPhone 4S but have a extra iPhone 4 (used for travel) that I would like to restore the 4S backup to.
    The problem is that the backup of my 4S has somehow disappeared from itunes and the only one that shows up is the iPhone 4 backup even though they are set up as different devices with different names. I know that the backup for my 4S is included with my Time Machine backups (on external harddrive) but I can't find the files. Also very strange is that I don't have the folder "MobileSync" in /Library/Application Support/MobileSync on my computer. I can't find that folder anywhere.
    My computer is less that 6 months old and I know that I have not deleted that folder or any other that are preinstalled.
    I'm using OS X 10.9.4 and I don't want to restore my hole computer from Time Machine, just the files that hold my 4S backup.
    Also note that I have not backed up everything from my 4S phone to iClould so that's not an option.
    I've tried everything including:
    - Restoring the settings on the iPhone 4 to factory settings and then connecting to itunes.
    - Deleting itunes and restoring it from Time Machine at a date that i knew had the original iphone backup.
    Who ever can solve this for me deserves a gold medal. I'm truly desperate. I've searched all forums and haven't found a solution for this.
    Thanks.

    Correct.
    You need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/.
    The ~ indicates your User folder not the top level /Library/ folder.
    Click on the desktop, then hold Option and go to Finder menu Go and Library will be there (only when holding Option as it is hidden).

  • How do I restore a Time Machine backup to a new hard drive in an iMac 5.1?

    Hi all,
    I recently had a hard drive failure in my mid-2006 iMac 5.1 and have now installed a new drive.  The iMac was previously running an up-to-date version of OSX 10.7 - Lion.  However I've struggled to restore the machine from its Time Machine backup, trying using both Setup Assistant which has never allowed me to overwrite my startup files with the restore, and several attempts using Migration Assistant and following Pondini's Migration Problems tutorial, which worked partially, but has left me with a series of files/folders, many of which have Permissions problems.
    The most recent attempt, using Migration Assistant is giving me a new error message:
    You can't transfer from your other Mac to this one because your other Mac uses a newer version of Mac OS X.  You must upgrade this Mac before you can transfer from your other Mac.
    I'm getting it that the Time Machine data is more current (in terms of OSX) than my desktop machine - which I have prepared using my Snow Leopard start-up disc (but wonder why this is the first time that I'm getting told this on attempting to restore).  But how do I get my iMac to a state whereby I can restore from the Time Machine?
    I can't upgrade the Mac using Software Update as this will only get me to OSX 10.6.8 (which is where I currently am, although some applications don't seem to want to work in this state - App Store, Safari on occasion); I can't download OSX 10.7 from the App Store as it is no longer there, and I can't install OSX 10.8 as my iMac is not compatible with this release.  I seem to be stuck in an infinite loop from which I don't seem to be able to get out of.
    Can anyone help at all?
    Many thanks in advance for any contributions & apologies if I've omitted any crucial information that might be needed to help me out.
    Paul

    Thanks den.thed,
    Apologies for not replying back sooner - I've been away.
    Although your suggestion helped me in getting a copy of Lion that I could use, it didn't help with the restore from Time Capsule issue.  I had to download the Lion app onto my MacBook & then transfer it across but it wouldn't let me upgrade my OS for some reason, so I ended up wiping the iMac completely and restoring via my Snow Leopard install disk.  For some reason, this time, it let me have the option of using Setup Assistant to access the Time Capsule for a complete restore.
    Now, over a week later, with various bits of tweaking and reinstalling some apps that didn't seem to come across, I have my system back.
    Thanks for the help anyway.
    Cheers,
    Paul

  • HT2731 How can I restore my old itunes account on my new computer?

    Our old computer crashed and we now have a new one.  Am I able to find all of my itunes songs and get them on this computer if I never backed them up?

    Yep. If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, you should be able to retrieve most, those that are available at least, of your purchases. Check this article on how to download past purchases and all other articles related:
