How do I restore old things to my iPhone?

I had an iPod Touch for about a year, and I just got an iPhone 5. When I plugged my iPhone into the computer, it automatically restored my iPhone to my iPod's settings from when it was last backed up (October). I backed up my iPod again today, but I'm still missing over 400 photos that I want to transfer from my iPod to my iPhone. How do I do that? By the way, I don't use iCloud.

I found out by googleing it:
go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. Complete the setup assistant after erasing your device (by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings) or after starting your new device.

HT1414 how do i restore old iphone 4s info to new iphone 4s

how do i restore old info on new iphone 4s

create a backup of your old phone either in itunes or icloud
then, get your new phone and restore from that backup. If it's restoring from an itunes backup, you'll need to plug it into that computer
if you're restoring the new 4s from an icloud backup, you can only do it from the setup process of the new phone

HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

Hi,
I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

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.

How can I restore Camera Roll to my iphone 4s? I have Photo Stream and am backed up on iCloud

How can I restore Camera Roll to my iphone 4s? I have Photo Stream and am backed up on iCloud

Syncing notes with iCloud requires it have the correct email address linked, as notes get synced with an email address.
Now, assuming that you have successfully set that up, though most people don't first time around, then if you deleted the note from the phone, it will have deleted from iCloud as well.
Meaning, unless you have that note located in a backup in iTunes or iCloud you won't be able to get it back.
You can restore the iTunes backup simply by connecting to itunes and hitting restore backup. Only thing is, any info that changed since the backup was made will be lost. (i.e. if your backup is a month old, your phone will look like it did a month ago, and only have that info on it.)
Or, you can restore from iCloud, which requires erasing all content and settings, then selecting that backup. SO, you can see the predicament.

I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone. How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone settings (photos/contacts/messages etc.) How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

You're welcome.
First check to be sure the new phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up (Settings>General>About>Version). If it isn't, you'll need to update the iOS first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the options, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your personal phone to restore to.
Be sure the phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

How can I restore deleted pictures from an iPhone 5 without back up?

How can I restore deleted pictures from an iPhone 5 without back up?

If you've previously synced the pictures to a computer (as is generally advised to archive them), then they are gone, unless you have backed up the device to itunes or icloud. If so, you need to perform a restore:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your phone. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
Note that you cannot restore just one file, it's all or nothing.

How do i restore the restricted passcode in iphone 5

Hi, SAVREET.
Thank you for the question. If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Below, I have included the article that walks you through the restore process.
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (Parental Controls)

Make sure to import all media, pictures and personal data to your computer prior to a restore.

How do I restore old mail from a disk copy of another computer's drive?

My old iMac died (non-intel iMac running OS-X Tiger) so bought a new iMac with Lion installed. How do I restore all my old emails to the new version of Mail?
I have a drag copy of the old iMac's entire hard drive saved on an external drive.
( This was how I did backups, just regularly drag copy the entire disk of each of my multiple Macs onto a large external drive. )

I have needed to do this today and it was quite simple.
After setting up Mail on the new Mac, from the Mail program;
File > Apple Mail (or other mail client) > Library (from your old Mac volume in the root) >Mail
Then pick the mailbox folder(s) inbox (POP-emailaddress Inbox.mbox) and select Choose.
If you want everything - Inbox, Sent, Draft, Deleted - just choose the whole folder(s).
