How to restore to backup to a iphone 4 that is in recovery mode

Need some help please.... so I tried to upgrade to IOS 6 on my iphone 4 and it got stuck in recovery mode.... says connect to itunes. Luckily, I backed it up to itunes before it got stuck in recovery mode. But my qusetion now is how to I get the phone back to the backup copy I just made? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks!

Foremost, I would strong strongly recommend that you don't connect your iPhone to iTunes again to Sync it. Doing that might risk over-writing the data present in the backup and you might loose stuff.
This is what you can do now:-
Get a backup recovery software to extract data out of your iphone's bacup (which you luckily created just before bricking our phone). I have personally used Total Saver from myphonedata and it worked pretty well on my Mac. There are other options if you look around, but I found this one to be offering much for for less.
Post recovery of your data, simply setup your iPhone as a new iPhone - this will wipe out everything, but you already have the important ones backed up from the step above!
Cheers

  • How to restore my iphone 3G when is on recovery mode all the time.

    My iphone 3G is always in recovery mode showing on the screem an usb pointing into and Itunes icom.  I can not unlock it.  How I can restore when I am using windows 7 on my pc? As well I would like to let you know that I am not sure what kind of programs I need to download to resolve my issue. I have heard about "tinyumbrella".
    I have some pictures and videos that I do not want to loose. I would appreciate any kind of help to sort out my problem.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Kind Regards

    1.  The latest iOS version available for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1, not 4.3.5.  Do you actually have an iP3GS or was your iP3G hacked to install 4.3.5?

    2.  "I tried to restore it but it came up with an error."  What EXACT error?
    3.  "i restored but some things were erased"  What "things"?  Did you get an error again.  Were you restoring as new or using a backup?
    4.  Did you ever restore the phone as NEW without using a backup?

    No there's not.  Otherwise that wouldn't be very secure, would it?

  • How to restore the backup which we taken from db13 ?

    Hi .........
    I am taking full back up from DB13 to hard disk and tape drive every day.
    Please tell me how to restore this backup which is taken from db13.
    4.7E, MSSQL , Windows 2003 server.
    Gayatry.

    If its the same server you took the backup from the backup history for the DB will be stored against it. If its a different server you will need to catalog the backup tape to read in the history/contents.
    Lets assume its the same server, with the same file locations.
    From SQL Ent Mgr - with SAP stopped.
    right click  the DB
    select restoredb
    select the set you want to restore from the history
    select the options you need (ie leave off line for addition TL restore, or bring online)
    It really is that simple - you cant go wrong (assuming you select the correct set!)

    Is it a problem to restore a backup from an iPhone 4 with IOS 7.1 to iPhone 5S with IOS 7.0.1 ?

    Yes. You cannot Restore a Backup to an Earlier version of iOS.
    Your iPhone 5s needs to have iOS 7.1 to match your iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1

  • How to restore my backup in laptop from external drive

    How to restore my backup in my macbookpro from external drive

    Hello Jayrajjpatel,
    It sounds like you have a Time Machine backup on an external drive that you would like to use to restore your computer. The following article will help you get that done, named:
    OS X Mavericks: Recover your entire system
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14185
    If you’re restoring your system because of a problem with your startup disk, repair or replace the disk before following these instructions.
    Make sure your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on. If your disk is on a network, make sure your Mac is on the same network.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    Select “Restore from a Time Machine Backup,” then click Continue.
    Do one of the following:
    External backup disk: Select it, then click Continue.
    Time Capsule: Choose your network from the AirPort menu on the right side of the menu bar, and then select your Time Capsule and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
    Network backup disk: Select it, then click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
    If necessary, enter the name and password you use to connect to your backup disk, then click Connect.
    Select the date and time of the backup you want to restore, then follow the onscreen instructions.
    After you restore your system, Time Machine may perform a full backup at the next scheduled backup time. This is normal. Time Machine resumes incremental backups after the full backup is completed.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Restore from backup of my iphone is taking a long time

    Restore from backup of my iphone is taking a long time, so far about 12 hours! Is this normal?
    I updated to ios5 and all seemed fine, later I realised that my music wasnt on the iphone, so pluged back into my computer and it said that the restore of the iphone had not completed successfully (or something along those lines). I went to restore from backup and selected restore from a back up of my iphone. All appeared to be going ok with the time remaining coming down to less that 10 seconds now for the past 11 hours it has been increasing and now the time remaining is about 17 minutes!
    Anyone know whats happening? Or what I should do? If anything, or should I just leave it restoring??
    Thanks for any help.

    A bit late, but I wonder if a Reset would be enough? Or even just turning it off and back on?

  • Can you restore a backup from an iPhone 6 to an iPad 2?

    I bought my wife an iPad 2 and I want to set it up to be just like her iPhone 6 (absent the iPhone only apps, obviously). However, I cannot seem to get it done.
    I do not use iCloud backup - this is from a backup on a Mac running Yosemite via iTunes.  Both devices are running iOS 8.1.3.
    I select 'Restore Backup', then select the backup of my wife's iPhone and I get a message: "Settings and data from some apps are not compatible with iPad and will not be restored." I figure this means it will restore everything except the iPhone specific apps.
    I click 'continue' and it appears to go through the restore process, but then nothing gets installed on the iPad.
    Thoughts?

    I restored a backup from a DIFFERENT iPad (mini) to my target iPad 2.  I have not been able to restore the backup from the iPhone to the target iPad.
    I have tried the following:
    Backup of iPhone 6 to target iPad 2 - Fail
    Backup of iPhone 5S to target iPad 2 - Fail
    Backup of different iPad mini to target iPad 2 - Complete
    So the target iPad 2 will take a restore from a different iPad (mini), but not from two different iPhones.
    Is it just me, or can such a restore just not be done?

  • HT1766 how to restore older backups? I can only access the latest backup but I need the one before that.

    How to restore older backups? I can only access the latest backup but I need the one before that.

    You would only have that backup if you saved it somewhere.
    Itunes only keeps the latest one.
