Does Restoring backup from iTunes overwrite newer data on the iPhone?

Yes, if that new data hasn't been backed up yet.

  • When I turn on my new iPhone 5s, I have to select a language and county and then my only options are to restore backup from iTunes or restore from iCloud.  I have already restored form iTunes, so what am I doing wrong?

    When I try to turn on my new iPhone 5s, the ONLY options it gives me is to either backup from the iCloud or restore backup from iTunes.  I have already restored the backup from iTunes, so I don't know why it keeps telling me to restore the backup.  And why won't it give me any other options?  I can't text, call, etc.  My phone will do NOTHING. 
    Any suggestions?

    It seems you restored from a blank back up if it is still asking you to choose one of those options. Set it up as new then manually restore from back up with iTunes on your computer and be sure to check the date of the back up an which phone the back up is from.

    Which password?
    If you mean the passcode to your iPhone, here's the solution:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you mean the encryption password to your backup on your computer:
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

    Hi beckiewinter!
    I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:

  • I get an error from iTunes saying it cant recognize the "iPhone"

    I just upgraded to itunes 7.6.0.29, after that got a pop up with a message from iTunes saying it cant recognize the "iPhone" and to detach it and try again.
    Just for verification uninstalled 7.6 and reinstalled 7.5. The problem went away. Then upgraded the iPod Touch software to version 1.1.3
    Thinking that with the new SW version in the iPod maybe the problem went away upgraded again iTunes to 7.6 just to get the same error again.
    Any way to "fix" this? or should I re-install 7.5 and wait for 7.7?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi there,
    follow the following steps below and it shud sort ur problem.
    "THE FIRST AND FOREMOST BLUNDER THAT WE HAVE DONE IS OUR ITUNES VERSION SHOULD BE 7.6 IN ORDER TO UPDATE THE IPOD SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE TO 1.1.3 FROM WHAT EVER OLDER VERSION WE HAVE."
    *MAKE SURE THE ACTUAL EXISTING VERSION OF THE ITUNES ON YOUR
    COMPUTER/LAPTOP
    STEP 1:Friends what I have done is I disconnected my IPOD from my laptop and
    firstly downloaded the ACTUAL (EXISTING OLDER) ITUNES version (7.5) that I
    initially had while i was DOING THE BLUNDER OF UPDATING THE FIRMWARE TO
    1.1.3.
    YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE OLDER VERSIONS FROM THIS SITE:
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/?3694
    STEP 2: Once the ITUNES (older version) dump is available on your computer
    uninstall the ITUNES and all the IPOD related stuff from your computer
    from Start>Control panel>ADD/Remove programs.
    Step 3: Restart ur computer and reinstall that older version ITUNES software
    again.
    Open the ITUNES software.
    Step 4: Now connect your IPOD and the ITUNES will prompt you that an IPOD in
    recovery mode is detected. It will ask you if u want to recover it to the
    factory settings by clicking on "restore" under the "summary" tab on
    ITUNES. Before doing this the very important step we need to do is to
    UPDATE THE ITUNES VERSION FROM THE EXISTING OLDER VERSION TO 7.6 WHICH IS
    VERY IMPORTANT.
    STEP 5: To do this click on the HELP menu on the top and click on CHECK FOR
    UPDATES. Thats it the ITUNES will be updated to latest version which will
    allow us to update the IPOD'S FIRMWARE to 1.1.3 as well.
    STEP 6: Now go to the summary tab of the IPOD and click on restore> wait for the
    restoration process to carry on and the IPOD should be running back to
    normal.
    WELL FRIENDS THIS WHAT I HAVE DONE ON MY IPOD AND THE PROBLEM IS SORTED.
    I HOPE THIS SHOULD SORT YOUR PROBLEMS AS WELL.

  • What does this mean? iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons"

    Can anyone help me please? My iphone originally was linked to my PC. I downloaded over 3,000 pictures from my PC to my iphone. Since then my PC broke and now I have a macbook pro and the macbook doesn't recognize all the pictures from my pc. I get the following message.
    -iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "Daniel's iPhone" because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons".

    Hi,
    I picked up on this Post as I was searching for "iChat" in non iChat places.
    A Mac will contain a Folder for "iChat Icons"
    It is kept in Hard Drive/System/Library/Application Support/iChat icons
    There are about 9 sub folders here including Planets, Guitars, Feng Shui and so on.
    They are normally accessed in iChat to be your Own Buddy pic.
    They way you have phrased your posts suggests you have a folder on your phone called "iChat icons" which may have been created by the PC.
    For people who know more about iTunes than I do to help will need to know where this Folder is exactly.

  • Lost one app restoring backup from iCloud to new iPad

    I got a new iPad and started to restore the backup from iCloud. Everything else but my VLC player was restored.
    It is still on my MacBook and iTunes but won't sync to my new iPad.
    What can I do?

    If you've previously synced the iPad with iTunes on your computer, you can check there for a backup. Just connect the iPad to the computer and right click it in the source list, then choose restore from backup.
    I don't think you'll ba able to use that iCloud backup, see this article -> iCloud: Troubleshooting restore issues with iCloud Backup
    Error: "Your iPhone cannot be restored because there is a problem with your backup data. Choose a different backup to restore from."
    Your Backup does not appear to be usable. If you receive this alert, you should check the iCloud System Status at the iCloud Support website to make sure there are not any issues occurring with iCloud Backup. If there is not a widespread issue notated on the iCloud System Status, the error may self-resolve if you wait several minutes and try again. If issues persist, you should contact iCloud Support via the iCloud Support website.

  • Cannot restore backup from itunes

    Help   I went to the Apple Store to ask them to fix my iphone 5's power button last weekend and they gave me a replacement phone. After I took it home, I tried to restore the phone using iTunes (I created a backup from my phone the day before I visited Apple store).
    And now itunes is telling me that it cannot retore the backup because it exceeded the size of my phone. I don't know what to do... Any ideas? I want to get my photos/videos/messages/contacts back.
    If I knew this would happen, I would have never gone to the Apple Store in the first place

  • Syncing photos via iTunes - getting new error message" "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost"

    I am trying to sync photos in a dedicated file on my desktop with the photo library on my iPhone 4S.  Something I have done many times before. 
    Since upgrading to iTunes 11 I get this message "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost" midway through the sync.  I do not understand this as I am syncing via the USB lead, so how can the connection be lost?
    Bascially I just want to update the photos on my iPhone with new photos I have added to the file I use on my computer.
    Any help or ideas would be gratefully received.  Thanks.
