I have never connected my iphone5 to my computer because the computer was broken. Now that it is fixed, I want to know if I will lose all my photos and texts on the 5 if I restore from last backup of my 4s?
If you restore to an older backup, you will get the content that is in the backup. Everything on the iPhone will be erased and you will be brought back to the time that backup was made. See this document prepared by another user about syncing to a new computer https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

My iPhone keeps switching between turning wheel and iPhone logo so I need to restore from last backup. I just really want to keep certain videos and pictures from the Video Safe app which were added to it after the last backup.
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

The iCloud backup does not include non-Tunes purchased music and photos that were synced to the iPod. The iCloud backup does not also included a few other things included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does also not included non-iTunes purchases and photos synced to the iPod.
free programs like iFunBox with copy non-iTunes purchased music and some other things from iPod to computer. A paid program like TouchCopy is needed to copy photos synced to the iPod to a computer. -
itunes will not recognise my encryption password even though it has been reset. cant restore to last backup?
I'm not aware of a way to reset the password for an encrypted backup. If you have forgotten the password for an encrypted backup, your only alternative is to put the phone in recovery mode and restore it as a new device. Your data will be lost.

Moved from an iphone 4s to a 5...Do I "restore from last backup" or set up a new phone?
I just went from an iphone 4s to a 5 and I'm trying to set it up and I don't know if I am supposed to back it up by "restoring from the last back up ? Which I thought was last night, but apparently it is saying my last backup was Nov. 14th. Or do I choose "set up a new iPhone"? Which do I choose?
My new phone automatically grabbed all my contacts and caldendar, notes, etc from the cloud, just don't know what do do from here.you can get your playlists and apps back by syncing with itunes.
restoring from a backup is generally the quickest way to get everything back on the phone. -
How do I restore from last backup before IOS upgrade?
How can I restore from last backup before IOS upgrade?
You need to go into Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.
Once done you will be back as though it is a new iPhone and you can setup from the iCloud backup. -

If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?
If I create a new apple ID will I lose all the apps I have purchased with my original ID?
I set up FaceTime and Messages on four different devices with only one Apple ID. I used the exact method that is described in the video that AnaMusic has provided to you in the link in her response above. That method worked fine for my family, but you can create new Apple ID's just to use for FaceTime and Messages if you like. Many users prefer doing that as opposed to adding new email addresses.
IMO - using unique email addresses (like in the video) makes sense, because we (my family) all have different email addresses anyway, and it was very simple to add each family members email address to both apps and remove my Apple ID email address as the contact address on each device.
BTW .... if you are using your Apple ID on both devices - your phone number should be the number that is showing in the settings - not you daughter's. Did you set up the Apps with your Apple ID? -
Hi, I need to re-format my hard drive, as it has a virus and is corrupted- so I will lose all my data including my itunes software. I guess I will need to reinstall itunes again - but if I do this will, I lose all the music that I have bought or imported into my library? How do I reinstall my library/playlists to the new itunes?
ThanksMake a backup of your media and other important files.
Just to be safe, make a backup of your entire iTunes directory.
Restore computer or do whatever it is you need to do.
Restore your media and other important documents.
Install iTunes.
Try using search next time... this gets asked way too frequently. -
Out of the blue, about 2 weeks ago all of my contacts, calendars and notes disappeared. Messages are only displayed by the phone # they came from, not with contact's name. When sending email I can type part of the email address in and the email from my contacts auto fills so I know the info is there somewhere. I've followed the links for "restore from prior backup" and I get to the manage storage and my device. I click the device and the only backup that shows is one from today, not the auto backups from before the mysterious data disappearance. HELP!!!!!
What happens if you go online to iCloud.com? Do you see your contacts or calendar there? If so, try going into Settings on the phone and turning off iCloud sync for calendar and contacts, then turn it back on. Are you syncing notes with iCloud, or with an email account?

Just installed 7.02 and only get itunes icon and usb cord. Why should I have to connect to itunes ? If I do, will I lose all of my photos ? Shouldn't I get free service for their software problem ?
You don't have to update to 7.02 if you don't want to, though this update does fix a few glitches in 7.0.
Before updating, you should always back up your data - it's standard practice. I've never lost pictures in an iTunes update.
Perhaps you could elaborate on the comment, "Just installed 7.02 and only got itunes icon and usb cord." What problem are you having, exactly.
Your next question confuses me. "Shouldn't I get free service for their software problem ?." What free service were you looking for? You can always go to your local Apple store for help, or ask questions here for free. -
I have an iPhone4 and after being connected to my PC iTunes failed to update the IOS software. The phone display now shows the iTunes symbol and asking me to connect the lead. If I do so, iTunes detects phone in recovery mode and asks me to restore before I can use iTunes. If I select it, will it delete all my photos, videos, contacts and messages? Please note: I'm not an apple expert so would need help on this....
regards Haley StoneYes, due to Incomplete Software Update on your iPhone your Device is now in Recovery Mode and you cannot take a Backup now. But if you have taken a backup earlier then you can Restore that backup on your iPhone after you Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings.

If I upgrade to ios 5.1.1 on my iPhone, will I lose all my apps or have to redownload them?
Or how can I prevent this?Now everything should remain the same as it was prior to the update.
But a good practice is to always do a backup prior to any update - "Just in case" -
Hello, I recently updated my ios to 6.1.1 (iPhone 4s Vodafone uk), had a lot of trouble last night as my phone wouldn't install the ios and wouldn't restore to the last backup. Spoke to AppleCare and they helped me out, but my phone still wasn't restoring on my windows computer (I normally sync using windows). So I then connected my phone to my MacBook as a last resort and the update and restore worked fine. Only problem is that the last time I backup my phone on my MacBook was around November 2011, so I have lost a fair bit of data. I have now connected my phone to my windows computer, and now I'm a bit worried to whether I should restore my backup & iCloud backup on the windows computer onto my phone, my last backup on my windows computer was done last night (12/2/2013). Will all my data be restored back to last night and will the ios 6.1.1 still remain?
ThanksKnowing where backups are stored is one thing, interpreting them (and getting them back to your iOS device) is another!
If you did your sync, but no backup immeiately after it (for some reaon some people do) then you may have success. Without connecting your iPad to our computer, go to the screen I mentioned in my earlier post and put a tick in the box PREVENT IPOD .... FROM BACKING UP AUTOMATICALLY and click OK. Then connect your iPad and restore from the previous backp if it is there! You can then go back and change the PREVENT...... setting.
When you get this all sorted out you can consider iCloud for additional backups. If you do not use iCloud routinely then you can switch it on temporarily to do a manual backup, even multiple backups.
However, you can trick iTunes into doing additional backups by changing the device name. For instance, you can do a backup under the device name of, say, Liam's iPad, then change the iPad name to Liam's iPad 1, Liam's iPad 2, etc with a backup under each name! Whichever backup name you use in due course to restore your iPad is the name that will appear as your device name under Settings on the iPad.
