How can I restore from a previous backup? I installed version 8 and is a disaster.

Restoring previous backup will NOT revert to the older version of iOS.
Downgrading iOS is not allowed.
What are your problems?
Maybe if you list them here we can help you to fix them.

  • How do I restore from a previous backup point in iCloud on an iPhone 4s?

    Just got my wife a 4s iPhone. During setting it up, I backed up to iCloud her calendar which wiped out her previous calendar that had been backed up from her iPad. Now the new, blank calendar is on both devices. How do I restore it and get out of the dog house?

    Hello Bobby,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with your daughter's iPad. 
    iCloud stores the three most recent backups.  If you would like to restore from your iCloud backup, follow the steps in the section titled "Restore from an iCloud backup" in the article below:

  • If I set up my iPhone 4S as 'New Device', can I restore from my previous backup afterwards?

    I need to restore my iPhone as I have forgotten my 'Restrictions Passcode'. However, I do not want to lose text messages. I know if I back up my iPhone before I restore it, the text messages will be saved on iTunes. If I restore it as a 'New Device' (which is what is required to unlock the passcode), will I then be able to sync my information (texts, music, apps, etc) that have been backed up? Please help!

    Well, if it were easy to get around this, there wouldn't be much point in having a restrictions passcode to begin with. You can try something like this to extract your messages, from your backup:

    Then achieve them on your computer.

  • I back up everyday and then my iphone synced before i could restore, how do I restore to a previous backup

    I back up everyday so that I can have piece of mind to restore, but my itunes synced and updated the backup to the way my phone was before I had the chance to do anything. How can I restore to a previous backup?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup to put everything on the new computer.

  • How many times can you restore from the same backup?

    how many times can you restore from the same backup?

    As many times as you want till you delete or modify it.
    It's YOUR backup, a copy of all your stuff.
    Not some copyrighted, access controlled bunch of bytes representing a picture, a song or a movie, with a bunch of lawyers from the entertainment maff1a hellbent on restricting what you can do with it.

  • Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

    iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.

  • I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

    I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
    You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.<br />
    A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":<br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
    You may need to add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

  • HT4859 How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

    How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

    You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone.  If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
    In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

  • I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C.  I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup.  Why is it doing this.  I did it twice yesterday.....

    I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C.  I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup.  Why is it doing this.  I did it twice yesterday.....  In addtion, those are the only options I have.  I cannot do anything else unless I choose one of the two.  Zero options.  Phone works fine though.

    I figure that either of those options will result in losing all SMS and data created since the last backup. Not a major loss, but ** annoying when nothing has changed and the time it will take to restore.
    When was the last time you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the backup is updated as the first step during the sync process?
    Is there anyway to recover this WITHOUT having to do a full restore or set up as new?
    In a word, no.
    If I do restore or set up as new, how do I know it's not going to do the same thing tomorrow (like a few other forums threads I've read indicate might happen)?
    There is no way to know for certain but I've never experienced the same in the first place. I venture to say having to do this is the exception rather than the rule.

  • HT4859 how do I restore to a previous backup?

    How do I restore to a previous backup?

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial device setup process.  If you have any newer data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  When you're done, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

    Can I restore from an iTunes backup after setting up as a new phone when a full reboot/restore has been carried out?

    As @wjosten says. Note, however, that it is important to NOT sync the phone after resetting it. A Sync will overwrite the backup that you want to restore.

  • My replacement 5S wont restore from a previous backup.  Im asked for a password and no password i use works.

    My replacement 5s wont restore from a previous backup.  I'm asked for a password and no password i use works.

    iTunes or iCloud? If it is iTunes, then it has an encryption password on it, and you won't be able to get the backup without the password. If it is iCloud, it would be your Apple ID password.
