How to restore my iPhone 3G, ios 3.1.3, from backup without updating.

How do I restore my iPhone 3G, ios 3.1.3, from a backup without updating. I need to restore my ical entries and they are wiped out on both my main and backup drive and mobile me. My phone is also wiped out and I think my back up may be my only hope of getting that info back. Every time I try to restore using itunes 5.1 itunes only shows me th option to restore and update. Not just restore. Will the option to just restore from the last backup present itself in the process or do I need to shift click or something? Thanks for your help...

Can't I fake it out so it just leaves my ios as it is but restores files and settings? ios 4 doesn't really work well with the 3G models. They get slow and buggy. Isn't there some way to just put the ipsw file somewhere and point to it? Or, is there a way to just rip the ical info outof the backup files. That would work to.

How to restore purchased ringtones after IOS 8 update

I have iPhone 5c. After I did the IOS 8 update and then the ios 8.0.2 update, I no longer have my purchased iTunes ringtones (I only have three that I purchased). It shows I purchased them in my iTunes store and my music icons on my phone. But when I go to settings and sounds and tones, they are not there. Trying to figure out HOW to restore them to my iPhone.
Help? I am an idiot, so I would appreciate step by step directions. Thanks!

How to restore new iphone when ios is not compatible

Greetings. Trying to set up new iphone 5. Backed up iphone 4 (old phone) with icloud. In going through the set up process with iphone 5 (new phone) I am stuck at the "choose backup". It is not allowing me to select the most recent back up because "No iCloud backups are compatible with the versin of IOS (6.0.1) on this iPhone). Any suggestions? Thanks.

You will have to setup as New, then re-install your content from your iTunes Library or re-downloading: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

How to restore safari bookmarks after osi update

how to restore safari bookmarks after ios. update

The only way is to restore from a useful backup, if you have one.
If you sync the iPad to iTunes and use Time Machine regularly, you would likely have the appropriate backup to restore from. In that case:
Restore the iPad backup set from Time Machine from a date before you overwrote the bookmarks. The location of the backup is ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ (you can get to it by pressing Cmd+Shift+G in the Finder and entering this path).
Connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from the backup.
If you use iCloud Backup, then you can restore from iCloud and choose which date's backup you'd like to restore from. You can check if you're using iCloud Backup by opening the Settings app on the iPad, then going to the iCloud submenu and looking at the status right below "Storage & Backup", where it would say "iCloud Backup is off." (or "iCloud Backup is on.", as the case may be).
In any case, keep in mind that restoring from a backup means you lose all application data changes after the date of the backup.

HT4061 How to restore my ipad after downloading itunes?

How to restore my ipad after downloading itunes?

Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Back up your device.
Transfer and sync content to your computer.
Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button.
Click Restore.
After a restore, the iOS device restarts. You should then see "Slide to set up". Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
If needed, restore your device from a previous backup.
If restoring does not finish successfully or if a restore error appears, see iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages.
Additional Information
If your device is continually restarting, not responding, or showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, place the device into recovery mode and try restoring again.
Devices with cellular service should activate after a restore. If activation is not successfu, see the options below.
Symptoms
Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
"The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
"iTunes was unable to verify your device."
Resolution
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Applefor assistance.

I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.2 but it says I'm unable to because my backups aren't compatible because they're iOS 6.1. Please help!

You can restore to a backup made on a device running a higher iOS version; it must be the same or lower. Update your iPhone 5 in iTunes, set it up as a new iPhone, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to erase the phone. Go through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. After updating you'll be able to restore to your backup.
