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.

  • 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 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:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • HT4859 How do I restore from an iCloud backup that isn't saved on my computer?

    When I connected to iCloud with iOS 6, everything on my phone was somehow lost. The most recent backup still exists on my iCloud accound, but not my computer. How can I restore this iCloud save onto the phone without using the computer?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You'll need to restore the device from the settings menu, when it restarts the set up assistant will prompt you to restore from iCloud or as a new phone.

  • HT4859 My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues.  What I would suggest you do is the following:
    If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
    Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on.  This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
    Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.

  • 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.

  • Restoring from a previous backup

    I synced my iphone with itunes and it has replaced all my contacts with my outlook contacts.(I was only trying to sync my outlook calendar)
    Is there a way of restoring to a previous backup, ie: I backed up the phone the day before this happened and it was all OK but I cant seem to find out how to restore to that particular bacup date.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Hi wjosten,
    The purpose of this thread is only what I have been asking for, nothing more, no strings attached: I want to put my iPhone in the settings they were before.
    Where can I find on my iMac the copy of my iPhone's backup file. Since I do incremental backups, I probably have access to a previous iPhone backup not showing in my iPhone's preferences.
    As for tethering, when you pay 30$ a month for a data plan, there is not fault trying to use more efficiently a 6GB plan used only for 50MB each month. Money is a concern for either party. If a company can make money there no point of being faulty by trying to save some.
    Regards.

  • How do I restore iTunes library from Backup files on External Hard Drive?

    How do I restore iTunes library from Backup files on External Hard Drive and keep the new iTunes library on the External Hard Drive. I have all the media and playlist and .xml .itl files, just want the iTunes to recognise the content.
    I backedup my iTunes content by dragging to External Hard Drive. Formatted and reinstalled OS. My iTunes content is so large, that I wish for the Library and content to remain on the External Hard Drive. I have all the music files and playlists, I just cannot get the iTunes application to display all the content. Hoping to Not have to drag and drop all the content to be recopied into new iTunes organised files.
    Troubleshooting this by researching other conversations on the web, I have come stuck for a solution. One Troubleshoot told me to hold down the Command key and then lauch iTunes and a dialogue box will appear to Choose a new library, however when I try this, no Dialogue box appear to give me the option!?

    It sometimes has that funny switch symbol on it too.
