If you have a backup, you can restore your last backup with itunes.

How can I restore my new phone to my backup?

It wouldnt let me restore from my old back up to a new phone, so it made me register my phone as new, now i cant figure out how to restore from my old one so i get all my contacts back.

Hello mel1089,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
There are a couple of factors that may be contributing in this case. You list 10.4.5 for your OS version. The minimum system requirements for iTunes are currently 10.4.9 or higher.
See the requirements here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
I would suggest updating your OS X and iTunes by running Software Update at least twice to get any availble updates.
Information on the restore/backup process can be found in this article:

The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
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 device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
Let us know if this method does not work.

How can I restore my contacts, when I have two phpnes on one account? In icloud are the contacts of the first phone, and in my computer is the back up of my second phone

How can I restore my comtacts from pc back up when I do have two phones with one account?the i cloud has contacts from one of the phones, and the pc back up from the other?

Hi Silky-Milky!
If I understand your question correctly, you are attempting to merge your contacts from your previous phone's backup into your iCloud account, then go back to using your new phone as normal, with the new merged database of contacts. I have an article that can tell you how to do exactly that:

How can I restore ringtones from my old phone to my new phone?

How can I restore my ringtones from my old phone to my new phone? I know I've done it before, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks!

If you purchased them from Verizon, you MAY be able to recover them by logging in to your account and checking under MyMedia to see if it's available. You may need to repurchase, since in most cases, ring tones are purchased for the specific device and do not transfer to a new device.
You can also use a service like Phonezoo to get ringtones; it keeps track of all your downloaded ringtones and wallpapers and you can get them again for a new device - and it's all free.

I had to restore my iPhone 4s and now my recent calls show only phone numbers instead of the contact's name. How can I restore the names to my recent calls list?

Are the contact details in your contacts app, the phone app uses the contact app to put names against telephone numbers.

I did a back up from my iPhone 4 on iTunes but I don't seem to be able to restore on my new 5c

Restoring from an older iOS to a newer iOS version is fine. It's going the other way that would be a problem.
You do need a late version of iTunes on your computer to be able to work with the new iPhone. The current iTunes version is 11.1.3. If your iTunes is old, download the latest from

How can I restore my data from a backup with different Phone name?

I recently had to restore my iphone which erased all the data. I have a backup of that data in iTunes and I want to restore it to the phone. However when I connected the phone to iTunes the first time after resetting everything, I accidently chose to create a new phone instead of restore settings and data from the backup.
My question is, how can I restore the iPhone from this previous backup? My iPhone is currently called "untitled playlist" and the backup is called "JC's iPhone".
Thanks,
Jeremy
ps. Sorry for posting twice. Nobody responded the first time, probably because I had a poor subject.

Jeremy,
If you restore again, you will be prompted to choose a backup or setup as a new phone again. Then you can just choose your old backup.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

Did you have the phone set to backup things to the One Drive on Microsoft servers?

How can I restore my Iphone 4 to a previous setting? I lost all messages and contacts when my itunes restored to a previous phone settings at a much earlier date.

If it is in recovery mode, there is nothing to do but restore. It is too late to salvage data on the device.

hmm thats kinda odd! how he managed to do that i dont know I thought the backups were locked per phone or phonenubmers serial. Anyhow IF you have no backup at all then you have lost everything. There is software out there that can recover data on the phone that was deleted.. I would personally click restore on Itunes and restart over. You cant get back what you lost that easy and software that does recover deleted data may not allways work 100% and costs money for the software..
Lesson learned huh..

I switched phone with my brother and i could sucessfully restore everything to the new phone except my imessages. how can i restore them? and why this phone doesnt let my use my number, just my apple id for immesage/facetime? please somebody help me!!

Hi Katrina - I hear what you are saying about the problems. I've been using a BB Pearl here in Canada since January and I had the same problems with PocketMac from the start. iCal dates getting strangely duplicated after syncing and contacts in AddressBook groups getting listed twice on the BB. The only solution I used was to have the Mac always override the BB when syncing. NOt perfect but for me it was the simplest way to ensure the consistency of the data and my own sanity.
If anyone has a better solution that actually allows a clean sync I'd love to hear it.
