My iPhone 4 wont 'restore from itunes backup' after updating
I just backed up then updated my iPhone 4. When it was finished it said a problem occurred and I had to restore it. When it finished restoring and I went to sync it and restore from the itunes back up, to get alll my old stuff back, but my phone is staying on that set up screen, and keeps saying connect to itunes even know it is connected and has already synced.
and nothing is going on my phone.
The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.

I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?
Hi, kformagg
I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
It worked very well. -
i just received my iphone 5 upgrade in the mail today. trying to set it up and dont know if I am supposed to set it up as a "new iphone" or "restore from itunes"?
If you have a backup, restore the backup. It will restore the settings you had on your old phone

Problems to restore from iTunes backup after upgrade to iOS6
Could anyone tell me where I should be able to find my taken photos with the iPhone and the Notes I have made in the backup? In other words, where should the iTunes backup be stored on my computer and would I be able to transfer it to my iPhone4 with the iOS6 without restoring it from the backup as that doesnt work for whatever reason. I have tried it a million times and I have officially given up to get all information for all Apps back but my photos and Notes would be fantastic.

I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?
Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ... -

I'm setting up my new iPhone and already have an iTunes account. It's asking me if I would like to set up as a new iPhone, or Restore from the backup of my iTouch. If i set up as a new iPhone will that delete all my music from my previous iTunes account?
It will not do anything at all to your computer.

someone tell me how I can sync my music to my iPhone without it saying on itunes "set up as a new iPhone" or "restore from the backup of: iPod"
You must be trying to sync it with a different computer than the one it used last. No, there is no other way to do this.
The iPhone may be synced to one and only one computer at any given time. If you choose to sync it to another, you can do that as often as you wish, but its content is erased first. -

HT201407 restoring from itunes backup
I believe I restored my phone and now It's on the "Set Up Your iPhone" screen. So when I click on "Restore from iTunes Backup" and connect it to iTunes my pc backs it up or whatever and then after it finishes which only takes about 1-2 minutes my phone will still be on the "Connect to iTunes" screen. And I keep unplugging my phone from my pc trying to see if that will make a difference and the screen will go away and it willl come back on but it doesn't. Any suggestions on what could be the problem? I really don't want to have to set it up as a "New iPhone" and have to start all over. And no I don't have a wifi connection that's why I was trying to avoid having to set it up all over again. But I might just have to. Anybody know what the problem could be? Or do I have to wait a certain amount of time after it syncs to my pc to give it some time to come back on?? PLEASE HELP!!!
I was becoming a little impatient so I just went ahead and set my phone back up as a new iPhone. Hopefully my pictures come back up there

If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way? In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone? Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

You don't even have to do to an erase all content and settings.
Just connect the iPad to iTunes. Once it appears on the left, right click on it and select restore from backup. It's that easy. -
Anyway to restore from iCloud backup after initial setup?
I purchased a new 5s today - my old 4s was backed up to iCloud - the store moved my contacts but I guess they skipped the cloud restore part so I don't have any of my apps - is there anyway to restore from cloud backup after initial setup? I think I can reset it but not sure how to do it and I'm afraid of what it will delete if I reset - please help - I could reload my apps but it won't keep my data right? Thanks
You should check to make sure that your contacts/information is in your iCloud by logging into iCloud.com. You can also plug your device into iTunes and check when the most recent iCloud backup was before restoring from it.
If your information is there, then you can go through the activation process again pretty easily by going into Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Then you can just restore from your iCloud backup. -
i bought a brand new 5th gen ipod touch. im trying to restore from itunes backup. then it says connect to itunes but my hp laptop is not syncing it. when i plug it in it does nothing but say connect to itunes... how do i fix this?
Hey jtom234412,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:

Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
Thanks,
