If I restore my iPhone as a new iPhone, what will be saved?
Supposing I log into the same iCloud account, what will transfer to a 'new device' restore?
specifically, contacts, calendar, saved passwords in keychain, known wifi networks are what I am wondering about.
Thank you
If you restore as new and add back what you sync with icloud - then that is what will come back to your phone.

If i register my iphone on a new comp what will i lose
help
Actually, you will not have to reinput them all. All you need to do is make sure you have a supported application on the new computer to accept contacts and calendars, ensure there is at least one unique contact and calendar entry (something not already on the iPhone) and then sync. That will trigger the sync to ask if you want to merge the contacts and you say yes. That will take care of them.
As the previous poster said, you would lose your music if you have not backed up your iTunes and transferred it to the new computer. Even if you have copied it over, iTunes will tell you it will erase everything, however since it is available on the new computer, it will sync right back. -
I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?
No, you should not. There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

Can I restore my info to a new iPhone 6 plus using a backup of an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.2?
Just bought a new phone and want to import all my app settings and information. I have heard all the complaints about iPhone 4s running iOS 8 and don't want to update until I have it preinstalled on a new 6+.
Can I restore my info to a new iPhone 6 plus using a backup of an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.2?
or would I have to upgrade my 4S to iOS 8, backup, and then restore the new phone. I need to ensure that my 4S powers on and works so I can receive trade in credit for it (~$200), so this is worth a bit to ensure that my 4S stays functional.
ThanksYou can load a backup from an earlier iOS version onto a device with a later iOS version, but not the other way around.
If you're going to do this, I'd recommend doing a backup of your 4s to your computer (not iCloud) and load the backup onto the 6+ from the computer. You can try an iCloud backup/installation, but also do a local backup in case something goes wrong. A local backup is more comprehensive than an iCloud backup, and in my experience it loads more reliably. -
how can I restore a back up of an old iphone to a new iphone (after I accidentally started a "new" iphone name?
Unfortunately you do not have direct access to iOS backs in iCloud.
I am not sure what you mean by:
It's locked with an enterprise (third party code)
Do you mean it is a corporate device and managed by Mobile Device Management software?
If so the IT department can reset the passcode.
Other than that, there is no third party iOS app that can lock the device at that level unless it is jailbroken and then no one here can help you. -
i made a backup for my old iphone 4 on my computer and now i want to restore my data to my new iphone 5 but i forgot the backup password. what should i do?
you can't recover iOS crypted backup password, for security purposes. your backup is useless. sorry.
if you still have your old iPhone, make a new back-up -
I restored my iphone because I have hundreds of apps and wouldn't want to delete them. Well I don't want to exactly permanently delete them. I just want them off my iphone as it makes it laggy and kills the battery. So I backed it up. However, I am wondering if I can restore them after settting the iphone as a new iphone. The latter is an option which exists after you restored your iphone. I hope you know what I mean. I also wonder if you can restore one app at a time manually.
ThanksJust use Itunes to mark which apps you want on the phone and which you don't. No need to wipe the phone as Itunes is an wasy way to manage your apps.

Hi Khuram1981 - thank you thank you thank you! All sorted! dont suppose you know how to fix another problem I have??? for weeks now, since updating to ios5 I think, for some reason every time I have tried to log onto app store it says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE. It's nothing to do with my computer, and I've been to the Geniius bar but they couldnt help and nothing I seem to do lets me update my Apps and even worse, I cant even buy any more. Any suggestions?
Again thank you SO much for helping with other problem = a real relief.

I just upgraded from the iPhone 4 to 4s. I had backed up the old phone backed up to iCloud. How do I restore that data to my new iphone? Even though I had photostream on, it never synched. I installed iCloud for the pc and can see the backup up in the cloud. I just want to get all the data to the new phone.
When you go through the new phone setup, it should ask if you want to setup as new or restore from iCloud. If you have already setup as new, you will have to reset the 4S to factory settings, and go through setup again.

I have been restoring the backup into a new iphone for a week. My pictures do not get restored however. Is there anything I can do?
Not unless the phone was backed up to the icloud or in iTunes at some point. I know you said it's crushed but can it be connected to a computer? If so you can still back it up in iTunes and then when the new phone comes use iTunes to restore that back up on it.

I have the lastest itunes software but I'm trying to restore a backup onto the new iphone 5s and I get an error message and cannot restore? Any advice
If iTunes is otherwise working properly start with TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, otherwise move on to Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

so, i bought the iphone 5s..but i took a few photos with it 1st before syncing it to the computer and restoring backup of the contents of my old iphone.now, the new iphone's photos are lost.is there any way to get it back?
No. When you restored the backup of the old computer it wiped out everything on the phone.

Hi
I'm trying to restore from backup of IPhone 4 onto New IPhone 5 in iTunes but getting message:
"ITunes could not restore the iPhone "iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
I've repeated the backup of my old phone but I'm still getting the same message.
Any ideas please?
GerI just spent 3 hrs with AT&T tech support. No visual voicmail! i wiped phone 3 times, reset. everything no visual voicemail.
I can access it through dialing holding down 1 then enter password, bu t Visual voicemail is DEAD. ATT says apple has major bug and fix won't be out until OCT 5th.
If you Google it it lights up like a cristmas tree! Verizon is also inodated.
1. Fake Map app usless Apple is fixing it though
2. Batt is a joke, last like 2 hrs
3. No visual voicemail
4. Face time on ATT no longer works on cellular data per apple design.
We need Steve Jobs!! he would have fired somebody for all these mistakes.
Nopw i am locked into crashing my car because i have to type in numbers to here voicemails.
Come on Apple send us a rebate or a Iphone 5 that meets the specs stated on the box and advertisments.!!
We love Apple and dedicated, but this one is a joke.
Not to mention you jacked us all being locked into 2 year plans with Verizon or ATT.
No face time unless i buy a Bucket of 5 gb over celluar? give me a break Take care of us apple Buy ATT and igve us unlimited plans with facetime and data you got enough money! -

Photos and some other items are added back after the restore has completed, you may need to wait a while. -
"Could Not Sign In" when Trying to Restore Icloud on a brand NEW Iphone 5S
"Could Not Sign In" when Trying to Restore Icloud on a brand NEW Iphone 5S
It says "there was a problem connecting to the server?"
Wi-Fi in range, ID and Password Correct.... What is going on?Check that the email address is correct for your login. You'd be surprised how many times I've seen people see the prompt and just go with a password and not realize that the email address was wrong.
Aside from that, you can try resetting your password via the iForgot app.
If you forgot your password, you can easily recover or reset it using iForgot. For security reasons, Apple cannot reset your password for you. To protect yourself against unauthorized purchases to your credit card, do not give out your password to anyone.
NOTE: If you attempt to sign in to the Apple Online Store numerous times with the wrong password, you will see the following error message: “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons." To reset your account, use iForgot.
