I restored a backup from my ipod to my iphone, now my iphone thinks it's my ipod
Hi all,
When I got an iPhone 5, I restored a backup from my iPod 5 over the top of the iPhone.
Now my iPhone thinks it's my iPod.
Really, my only problem is when I use iMessages through my iPhone to my iPod, I get the message on the iPod but also right back on the iPhone like it's an incoming message.
Any ideas?
Really, my only problem is when I use iMessages through my iPhone to my iPod, I get the message on the iPod but also right back on the iPhone like it's an incoming message.
If you go to Settings -> Messages, you should see a list of addresses under "You can be reached by iMessage at." Uncheck the email address that the iPod uses and you should stop getting those iPod-only messages.
While you're there, also check the "start new conversations from" on the iPhone and make sure it's your number. That setting has a tendency to shift to an email address after a restore, which might be exacerbating the situation
(While you're still there, Settings -> General -> About -> Name to rename the iPhone to something besides the iPod's name!)

How to restore a backup from 32G device to 16G iphone
I lost my iphone5 few days a go, and then I bought a new 5s. But I didn't remember which capacity I used for my iphone5. I thought it was 16, then I bought 5s in 16G. When I got home, I tried to restore my 5s with the backup from my lost phone on iTunes. However, it said to me that my phone doesn't has enough capacity for restoring. I would like to have my photos and messages back, not necessarily all the apps, so what can I do?
You will need to select via iTunes, what you want to restore. Look under USB synching:

HT1414 having trouble restoring the backup from icloud to my new iphone
I cannot restore my icold backup to my new iphone. Any tips?
If your backup is newer than the iOS on the phone, you cannot restore from that backup until you update the iOS on the phone first. So is your backup from a newer iOS than what is on the phone? If so, update the phone and then restore from the backup.
If you would share what happens when you try or provide seem more details - it would be a little easier to offer suggestions. -

After moving from Canada to the US, getting a new iPhone 5C, and restoring my backup from iCloud, I can't update my apps. I get an error message that my account is not valid in the Canadian App store and I must change to the US store. How do I do that?
Change here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
You must have a verified billing address & be located in the country whose store you are trying to use. -
Hi,
I plugged my iPhone for the first time to my computer. The iTunes screen automatically came up and asked if I wanted to register/set-up my iPhone as new phone or using the backup from my iPod. Without knowing what was going to happen, I clicked on the backup from my iPod and then I lost everything I already had in my phone: mostly contacts and pictures. Although afraid of the answer, is there a solution to retrieving the info, especially the pictures?
Thank you!by any chance did you do a back up to iCloud? if not there isn't a way to retrieve lost info with out a back up.

Problem Restoring iTunes backup from DVD
I've searched and haven't seemed to find an answer to my particular issue, so if this has been asked and answered apologies. Here's my situation:
I am able to backup my entire library on my windows computer to move everything over to my imac. During the backup I didn't get any error messages. I restore the backup from DVD but for some reason one of the disks just will not restore and I have to keep skipping it. I can open it up and I see the files there, compilation folder with songe folders inside, some audio books, an album or two purchased from iTunes and a few albums from CDs that I actually own the physical media. I presume something is corrupted but don't know what.
My question is this: has anyone else experienced a similar situation and if so, were you able to get the disk to restore? If not, is there a way that I can select just the items from this bad disk to backup so that I don't have to do the entire back up again? As previously mentioned, I can browse the "bad" DVD and can see the items and folders? At the very least, I'd like to backup and restore the itunes purchased music and audio books and compilations; the other items I can just import from the cds that I own.
Thanks...I'm really getting frustrated after having tried this five or six times.can somebody help i/m basically having the same problem but my error message says an unknown error occurred

I tried to restore backup from itune to my new iphone 5s but have forgotten the password what should I do?

Which password?
If you mean the passcode to your iPhone, here's the solution:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you mean the encryption password to your backup on your computer:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore. -
