My phone died! if i restore from i tunes is all phone numbers

my i phone died, if  i restore from i tunes are all phone numbers & information lost?

If you've been losing your phone as directed, you should have no data loss as you've been making frequent backups and synching your contacts to a cloud service or contact manager application.

    new 4s do I want to set up as a new i phone or restore from i tunes back up

    If you previously had an iPhone and backed up all your data before replacing it with a new iPhone you may well want to keep that data and restore it to your new 4S by selecting restore from backup.  If however this is your first iPhone then you should set it up as a new iPhone.

  • HT201250 When using the installation disc to start a Mac Pro that won't start; will the 'restore from backup' option erase all the data previously stored?

    When starting a Macbook Pro that has quit by using the disc that came with it, will the "restore from backup" option erase all previous data stored on the machine?

    As long as the backup on your external drive is fine, it will restore your Mac to exactly how it was on the date of that particular backup, all data included. I have used it before and have retained all data from the date of the backup.

  • Trying to restore ipod from one that died. But restore from backup is greyed out in the itunes menu.

    I have latest version of itunes on Mavericks, a brand new ipod nano, and I am trying to restore my old dead ipod from its last backup onto the new ipod. The previous (dead) ipod was inherited from my daughter and is called "Kim's ipod" and I didn't get the option to initialise with the same name when I first connected it to itunes. I suspect that might be the problem.
    Restoring from backup is greyed out in the file menu.
    This strikes me as a situation that shouldn't be too uncommon - I'm wondering what I am missing.
    - How to restore a new ipod from the backup of a new one
    - Why is the restore from backup option greyed out
    - Or, how to reinitialise the ipod so that the new one can have the same name as the old one in order to back it up.
    Or anything else that I might have missed. FYIY the new ipod is NOT in recovery mode.

    Hmm.  I came to realise iTune Match had downgraded 38 of my tracks, which I'd ripped from my own CDs long ago, with 256kbps versions.  I do have backup for the tracks, so I'd like to delete these 38 tracks (I've made a Smart playlist of them), deleting them from iCloud too; then with Match turned off, recover my originals (Add to Library) from an old Mac.
    Can't do it!  As Richard Tench said at the top, from 27 July 2011, Edit > Delete is permanently grayed out if you have opted for iT Match.  And for me on iTunes 10.6.3 (Lion 10.7.4), that's not all:  Edit > Cut and Cmd-x both just produce the Bonk sound.  My Macbook keyboard has no Del key either. 
    But all the above are only true with Match active.  Store > Turn Off iTunes Match will ungrey Edit > Delete (& fn-bksp etc I imagine).  So I would then be able to delete the tracks locally.  But of course, if you turn off iT Match you can delete all you like locally, but they will still exist in iCloud, and if I turn on iT Match again, the lower-grade 256kbps ones will come down from the clouds to replace my CD-ripped ones again!  Won't they?
    Is that right?  Is there any way to exclude these 38 tracks (out of ~6500) from iTunes Match so I can keep my better quality CD-ripped ones?  (Other than using Alt-Launch & creating a separate iTunes fileset for the 38 tracks - as you might have guessed, some of them fall right in the middle of albums.)   Help!

  • ITunes ask me to restore from a old backup all the time when I connect my iPhone5.

    Hi! My iTunes ask me to restore from a backup when I connect my new iPhone 5. I have done the backup process but it still ask me to do it. How do I get iTunes to understand that this is done?
    I connected my iPhone and restore it from a backup from my old iPhone 4. It worked well. But when i connect the iPhone to iTunes it ask all the time the same thing.
    1. this is a new iPhone bla bla or...
    2. restore from a old copy. (strange is that it says that this was done 1982 all the time?!?!).
    The MacBook Pro is new and I have the latest iTunes 11.0.1. (12)
    Glad for any help!!
    Best regards
    Pontus

    Maybe you should have connected as a new phone instead of trying to put an iPhone 4 backup on an iPhone 5.
    Try restoring it to factory setings and start again. If all your music and contact s are on the computer then you should be good to go.

  • Usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from I Tunes what i have to do?

    usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from ITunes what i have to do to restore all my contact, applications and others?

    If your iPhone does not search for a wi-fi connection before you are asked whether you want to set it up as new phone or restore a backup from iTunes, then I guess you have the same issue as highlighted in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19638850?ac_cid=tw123456#19638850
    iCloud back ups can only be accessed via wi-fi that's why you are not granted this option, I have the exact same issue.

  • My ipod won't sync and it keeps coming up with an error message saying "internal error" or it tries to get me to restore from a backup. All of my music and movies have been wiped from my ipod and the apps don't work. The backups don't work either. help.

    I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to sync it and it came up with an error message saying that it encoutered an internal error and it refused to sync.
    I then unplugged it and plugged it back in and this time it told me that I needed to restore from a backup or set it up as a new ipod. I tried to restore from a backup but it came up with the error message "Backup session failed" every time. I then looked on my ipod and all of my music and movies are gone though it still says that they are on the ipod in itunes. I decided to use the restore function and let that finish. After restoring it still doesn't allow me to sync or back up and The music and movies can still not be seen. I am currently attempting to copy the music and movies to my ipod though this did not work with my apps as they transfered but when I attempted to open them they just crash... If someone could please help me it would be great. It is driving me crazy.

    If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

  • HT201250 My macbook pro crashed and I had to install a new hard drive. I restored from Time Machine backup all the files from my old hard drive onto my new one.

    Does it really back up the whole new drive or does it only back up what's been added? It seemed like it was doing the whole thing when I tried it. I stopped it. Don't want to use up all the space on my external. Is there something else I need to do or did I mess up by not doing the migrating thing? thanks!

    If you installed a new hard drive, it has nothing on it and yes TimeMachine is going to take forever to restore everything back.
    I guess you'll have to erase and start over again now.
    Too bad, you should have made bootable clones in addition to TimeMachine, they can restore in a hour or two depending upon content, they are also option key bootable.
    TimeMachine has to go through and calculate all the files it needs to bring forward, the files are strewn all over the drive. The read heads are moving all over the platters all the time from fast sectors to slow ones, not matching what's occuring on the internal drive.
    With a clone the files are defragmented and optimized, the drive reads one file, moves the heads a tiny bit and reads the next all the while transferring exactly to the internal drive, they are more in step with one another, thus it's much faster restoring from a clone than TM.

  • I did a restore from backup and lost all of my picture and videos from last night. Can anyone please tell me how to get them back from the cloud?

    I did a restore from backup this morning. After it completed the restore I lost all of my pics and videos from Saturday. Can anyone assist in retrieving my files from iCloud? Thank you.

    Have you not backed up or transferred your movies to your computer at any point before you dropped your old iPad?
    If the only copy of these movies was on the old iPad, and that iPad is now gone, then so are the movies that were on it.

Please dont make it true what i have heared about you.
    Regards.

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

  • After restore from 3 different media, all I get is "please install an operating system."

    The hard drive quit in my stepson's notebook. I bought a new one, installed it. I've tried to re-install Windows 8 from the USB stick he created when he got it. Didn't work. I tried from another USB stick restore image from an identical model, didn't work. I PAID for the DVD recovery set from HP... didn't work. I tried a Win 10 DVD... didn't work. All have the same problem, When the install is "finished", every time I get an error message saying "Please install an operating system" on what should be the first boot up.  After hours and hours of this crap I'm just about ready to throw the **bleep** thing away. There is no reason for this to happen, none. The only thing different is the size of the hard drive, it's 500GB instead of the original 350.  Extremely frustrated and hoping for some insight, Ken 

    Welcome Blue.
    You can clone the drive and change the product key.
    You must make sure that they both have the same version of Windows COA's.
    After you have the cloned drive booted go to START then COMPUTER then SYSTEM PROPERTIES.
    At the bottom of SYSTEM PROPERTIES you will see CHANGE PRODUCT KEY.
    Click on it and put the product key in that is on the bottom of that laptop.
