HT1766 iCloud Backup, Restore iPhone to Factory Setting

If I restore my original iPhone (4s) to factory settings which will erase all saved data/information, will my back-up files in iCloud be deleted too? I am planning to give my old iPhone away. Thanks.

No.
A an iCloud or iTunes computer backup must be deleted manually. The backup is not erased when restoring an iPhone even when restored as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

    one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working .  May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • HT1766 I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!!  HELP!  iCloud backup/restore did not work

    I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!!  HELP!  iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.

    If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
    I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

    If you mean you want to restore from an iCloud backup, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again and when given the option choose to Restore from iCloud Backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766).

  • Why can't I migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore?? (Says incompatible.)

    Why can't I -simply- migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore??
    (The 4GS says it's incompatible with 3GS iCloud Backups and so it cannot restore them.)
    I've had to use a computer with iTunes, but surely iCloud can be used fior this?

    You need to update your 4 to newer software to restore from icloud back up, until then you will get incompatible message. So steps are - set up your iphone 4 as new. Update. Erase. Restore from cloud backup. If you update does not take long you should be all set within an hour.

  • I recently brought a iphone 3gs and had it unlocked then my boyfriend restored it to factory setting now my screen just has the apple icon stuck on it any suggestions as what to do?

    It is now locked to the original carrier. Sounds like that was Orange. Only the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize the unlock of the phone. You may be able to use it again on Orange, or if they provide unlock services you may be able to get it unlocked, however I have read of many phones that have been hacked to unlock not accepting the factory unlock. This support document will explain about some of the problems you have been having. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • I have an ipod touch it is either a second or third edition and i have just had to restore it to factory setting as it was not working and now the wifi on the device is no longer working. Is there anything i can do about this?

    i have an ipod touch it is either a second or third edition and i have just had to restore it to factory setting as it was not working and now the wifi on the device is no longer working. Is there anything i can do about this?

    Is it this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

    how can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

    When you made the backup, you may have told it to encrypt the backup so that you can recover iPhone to factory settings successfully.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Therefore I used the normal iTunes backup and restore found under the Summary tab in iTunes. If your data is still on the other phone, back it up again with iTunes. To use iTunes you have to start it, connect your phone to the computer with a cable, then select the iPhone button near the top right corner of the screen. Be sure not to check the encrypt button.

  • Serious iCloud backup restore privacy issue

    Hi, I am concerned about the iCloud backup restore. I just restored my iPhone 4S with iCloud backup restore. After that, It ask for my Apple ID username and password. This is where I'm concerned. There was already filled in email address from people I dont know. It was asking Apple ID because it was trying to restore apps. So after I put my Apple ID, it keep on asking Apple ID, but showing different email address in the username field. I guess its other iCloud email address. So is this a known issue or am I the only one who got to see this while restoring with iCloud backup?

    You are not alone and there is another discussion HERE

  • My icloud backup from iphone 4 abnormal size. What is using that space?

    My icloud backup from iphone 4 uses 2,9GB of data even with all backup of apps are set to off including camera roll. I have tried to delete the backup a few times to no awail as the new backup is as large as before. I have an Ipad that only uses 700mb approx same settings but with most of the apps syncing.
    Both the phone and the ipad have some 300apps on them but since we arent syncing the actual apps i guess it doesnt matter.
    Mail sync off
    Contact sync on
    Calendar sync on
    Reminders sync on
    Bookmarks sync on
    Notes sync off
    Photo stream on
    Documents and data off
    Find my iphone on
    The above are the same for both phone and ipad and should not be affecting total backup size?
    Best Regards
    Mr.Riwa

    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.
    Alternatively, if you delete your existing iCloud back up and start the back up again, the next back up will be the same size as the phone tells you is needed to perform that back up.

  • My ipod classic 160 gb suddenly became 0 kb free after i restored it to factory setting

    my ipod classic 160 gb suddenly became 0 kb free after i restored it to factory setting. it should be a lot more. I dont know what to do with it. I tried resetting it, but it still says "0 kb free" in the setting area.

    For your info,
          restored it to factory setting
    means erasing everything in your iPod, and putting back factory defaults, ie no music.
    read this Apple Support Article on Restore
    You must have music in your iTunes Library and then press SYNC  button in iTunes, which will populate the iPod.
    Watch this Apple Support video on Sync iPod
    If you dont have any music in your iTunes library or somewhere in your PC, then buy some or import from CDs.
    Have a nice day!
