If i set up my Iphone 5S as a new phone will I be able to restore it with the backed up files later?
I am trying to sync music from my itunes account and I cannot do it. I have read multiple suggestions to restore iphone 5s factory settings and it will work but
I am concerned that I will lose everything on my phone. If I do this, can I restore using the back up on my IMac? I am running Itunes 11.1.4 and the IMac is running OS X 10.6.8 , the Iphone is running 7.0.4. Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated.
If you didn't choose to transfer an iCloud backup with the setup assistant after the welcome screen at the Verizon Store, nothing was transferred to your iPhone at that time. Visual voicemail messages are stored on Verizon servers and re-downloaded.
If you restored your iPhone with iTunes on your computer when returning from the Verizon Store, did you choose from the backup of your previous iPhone? You can't know what was available on your new iPhone after restoring it with iTunes if the welcome screen doesn't go away after doing so.
You can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes again from the backup of your previous iPhone which I assume is what you want to do. Not sure why Verizon would transfer anything to your new iPhone when you have a backup for your previous iPhone.

Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4? Or do I have to set up my iPhone 5 by using my iPhone 4 backup (I'd rather not)?
Contacts are not stored in a backup, so a restore will not bring them in. Contacts, along with all the other Apple databases (log into icloud.com with a browser and look at the various pages - this is what I call the Apple databases) are contained in their own locations on the servers. You should be able to take a new device, go to Settings>iCloud, log in to the icloud account, then turn on the services (e.g. contacts) you want to sync. They will then be synced to the device. That has nothing to do with a restore and with the old iphone 4. As for apps, their listing and locations on the screens are stored in a backup. If you don't restore, then go to the itunes app store, look under Purchased Apps and download them again.

If I set up as new iPad, will I be able to restore from a previous backup later?
I stupidly encrypted my backup on my iPad, restored it thinking I knew the password, and now have a factory set iPad and a locked backup. If I set up the iPad as a new device, will I still be able to restore it from the backup that is already there at a later date if I remembered my password?
Yes, with the password you can unlock the backup.

I bought a new iPhone 5 a few months ago, and havnet plugged it into my itunes until now, and I do not want to set it up as a new phone, because it will get rid of everything I already have on there, but I also dont want to restore from my last backup with my old iPhone 4. I want to add music that i have on my itunes, but i dont want to start over fresh. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Those are your only choices.
You should simply transfer everything from your iphone to your computer. Then you can sync it back. -
If I were to exchange my iPhone 5 for a new one, will I be able to get it immediately on the spot?
Having some issues with the wake/sleep button and I'm thinking of getting it exchanged for a new set in Singapore. However I'm living in Malaysia and I would like to know how long would the replacement process be. Thanks!
An iPhone is supported only in the country in which the iPhone was originally sold. If you are living in a country other than the one in which you purchased the iPhone, you will not be able to get service there. You will need to take the iPhone back to its original country or send it to someone you know there to get it replaced.
As to the process, that will depend on the country of sale and from where you purchased the iPhone. If you can clarify that, we can provide more specfic information.

How do I connect my Iphone 3GS to my new laptop? Downloaded Itunes only to be told there is a problem finding my 'pairing' don't know what this is, any ideas?
You might want to take a look at Printopia....although you may find that you need to have the printer connected directly to your computer for this work.
If you try it out, please post back with your results.

everything updated and works fine in itunes. Slide the hello screen, Pick a language, country and connect to wifi. then it asks to setup phone again. repeat the "restore from itunes backup" which it does and eveything repeats.
Yes, if you choose to set up as a new phone, you will be able to restore from a backup later.

hello
Hello, haqmona.
As you setup your device as new, you will need to follow the steps as outlined in the article below to restore from your iCloud backup.
iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521
I would recommend creating a backup via iTunes on your computer before processing these steps.

I accidentally set up my new iPhone 4S as a new phone instead of using the backup I had from my old iPhone 3. Is there anyway to get my texts & contacts from that old backup now?
Neither of the above two posts will help you. If you want to restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone, you will have to start from scratch. On your new phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Once done, you'll now be able to restore the backup of your old phone to your new phone.

Can i set my iPhone 4 as a new phone then use iCloud to get information from before restoring the phone? I've restored my iPhone 4 thru iTunes and now trying to set it up using iCloud but it says 'no back ups available'.
I was upgrading my OS system thru iTunes but the plug on my macbook came out and battery ran flat half way thru. This jammed my iPhone 4.
I think it's to do with the OS system. That if i take it to the previous OS system it might work. But since i'm in phone set up mode i can't get into general setting to change it back.
So can i set it up as a new phone and then use icloud to restore info? Or shld i set it up thru iTunes and then iCloud (but since it jammed half way thru upgrading and i've restored i don't think iTunes has any of my previous info)? Or is there something else i can do?No. You can set up as a new device or restore from iCloud or iTunes. It looks like you backed up with iTunes, so you can't restore with iCloud. To backup your device in iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and activate it

How when uve set up the iPhone 5 as a new phone how do u get ur stuff from ur iCloud's account I've logged in to it but its not given me an option besides back up now which I've done but still nothing?
If you want to restore to an iCloud backup, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.

If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?
I have this exact same issue. Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud. This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation). How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back? I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-legend (next paragraph is taken from the review since there is no direct link to the review.
Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue. I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web. Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock. -
