My replacement 5s wont restore from a previous backup.  I'm asked for a password and no password i use works.

iTunes or iCloud? If it is iTunes, then it has an encryption password on it, and you won't be able to get the backup without the password. If it is iCloud, it would be your Apple ID password.

    How can I restore from a previous backup? I installed version 8 and is a disaster.

    Restoring previous backup will NOT revert to the older version of iOS.
    Downgrading iOS is not allowed.
    What are your problems?
    Maybe if you list them here we can help you to fix them.

  • I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C.  I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup.  Why is it doing this.  I did it twice yesterday.....

    I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C.  I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup.  Why is it doing this.  I did it twice yesterday.....  In addtion, those are the only options I have.  I cannot do anything else unless I choose one of the two.  Zero options.  Phone works fine though.

    I figure that either of those options will result in losing all SMS and data created since the last backup. Not a major loss, but ** annoying when nothing has changed and the time it will take to restore.
    When was the last time you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the backup is updated as the first step during the sync process?
    Is there anyway to recover this WITHOUT having to do a full restore or set up as new?
    In a word, no.
    If I do restore or set up as new, how do I know it's not going to do the same thing tomorrow (like a few other forums threads I've read indicate might happen)?
    There is no way to know for certain but I've never experienced the same in the first place. I venture to say having to do this is the exception rather than the rule.

  • My wives phone will not restore. we have had an apple tech and a verizon tech on this issue. we are trying to restore from a previous backup from iCloud. it is large. but a month now?! Help!

    We restored her new iphone 5s from a backup on icloud from her previous iphone 5. it was restoring for two weeks! we called apple and eventually reset and started over. verizon had us do this again a week and a half later. still, now, its been over two and a half weeks and the phone will not restore from her icloud backup. she has alot of our pictures from the recent past holidays and pictures in icloud that we dont want to loose. along with all her itunes purchases.she is starting to get really upset. i know her backup was a fairly big one but if icloud sold her the storage to do the backup. why cant we get her phone to restore from this icloud backup? Is it the device? is that covered under our apple care? or under our phone warranty? Is it the size of the backup? im so lost and want to help her. I, writing this on the support community to see if you guys can help us. i really dont wat to spend another grand on a phone. thank you for your time. thanks for reading. happy holidays to you all..

    Essentially it would mean another Internet connection yes, however it's your local network that I am wondering about and whether it could be the problem.

  • How do I restore from a previous backup point in iCloud on an iPhone 4s?

    Just got my wife a 4s iPhone. During setting it up, I backed up to iCloud her calendar which wiped out her previous calendar that had been backed up from her iPad. Now the new, blank calendar is on both devices. How do I restore it and get out of the dog house?

    Hello Bobby,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with your daughter's iPad. 
    iCloud stores the three most recent backups.  If you would like to restore from your iCloud backup, follow the steps in the section titled "Restore from an iCloud backup" in the article below:

  • Restoring from a previous backup

    I synced my iphone with itunes and it has replaced all my contacts with my outlook contacts.(I was only trying to sync my outlook calendar)
    Is there a way of restoring to a previous backup, ie: I backed up the phone the day before this happened and it was all OK but I cant seem to find out how to restore to that particular bacup date.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Hi wjosten,
    The purpose of this thread is only what I have been asking for, nothing more, no strings attached: I want to put my iPhone in the settings they were before.
    Where can I find on my iMac the copy of my iPhone's backup file. Since I do incremental backups, I probably have access to a previous iPhone backup not showing in my iPhone's preferences.
    As for tethering, when you pay 30$ a month for a data plan, there is not fault trying to use more efficiently a 6GB plan used only for 50MB each month. Money is a concern for either party. If a company can make money there no point of being faulty by trying to save some.
    Regards.
    Robert

  • 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.

  • If I set up my iPhone 4S as 'New Device', can I restore from my previous backup afterwards?

    I need to restore my iPhone as I have forgotten my 'Restrictions Passcode'. However, I do not want to lose text messages. I know if I back up my iPhone before I restore it, the text messages will be saved on iTunes. If I restore it as a 'New Device' (which is what is required to unlock the passcode), will I then be able to sync my information (texts, music, apps, etc) that have been backed up? Please help!

    Well, if it were easy to get around this, there wouldn't be much point in having a restrictions passcode to begin with. You can try something like this to extract your messages, from your backup:

    Then achieve them on your computer.

  • HT5622 When I try to download an app from app store, it is asking for Cloud ID and Password.....but though i submitted correct password...it is not allowing to download....stating "Password incorrect". What is the way out...!!

    Suggest a way out for download an app, when phone shows a message-----password incorrect; though i gave correct password. Even i have logged into icloud and ensured the password is correct.

    You may have to either sign in to the website to confirm your account details (or do that through iTunes on the computer) or go to iforgot.apple.com to reset your password again.

  • Should I restore catalogue from a previous backup

    I just managed to crash LR (4.1) big time, resulting in a BSOD and immediate Windows shutdown. I have no idea what triggered this: both LR and my PC are usually very reliable, and in fact my PC has never before blue screened on me. At the time, LR was building a collection.
    I re-booted and checked over my catalogue in LR, focusing on the images I'd been working on prior to the crash (all in the same folder on my HD). I see no obvious corruption with the images I was working on; in fact LR even managed to complete the collection. I allowed it to check the catalogue integrity and it found no issues. However I now have a nagging doubt that perhaps I'm overlooking something... Do you think it might be worth my while to restore from a previous backup, just to be sure no corruption has managed to rear its head in my catalogue, or do you think that, based on the lack of any warning signs, I should be OK?
    This raises another related question: how do you know that a catalogue is corrupted at all? Does LR give you any warning/error message?
    M

    There's no obvious warning signs for a corrupted catalog; no one can tell you check A, B and C to determine if the catalog is corrupted.
    However, there is a sign that it is not corrupted, and that's the integrity check, which apparently passed. I would worry no more about this.
    By the way, I have the occasional blue screen of death crashes, these are not normally caused by Lightroom, but usually hardware or video drivers are the culprit. I have never had problems with my Lightroom catalog when LR was open and the computer crashed.
