New iPhone upgrade and messed up backups

I upgraded four iPhones recently, and I backed up all of the phones to my computer, then did a restore from previous backup. All went well until today, when I wanted to back up my iPhone, when I noticed that it was backing up every new phone that I bought. I checked the summary and it showed all apps from all the other phones being backed up, which was strange, but, I then deleted all of the previous backups from iTunes, then backed up the old phones again and then tried to do a restore from previous backup, and it was still restoring all apps from all phones. If anyone has any idea of what happened or how to correct it so that each individual phone backs up and restores only what is on that phone. Thanks in advance.

Try ti reinstall the iOS software so it is AS a ny iPhone and the install the back-up to the iphone. And rember that you Can mack the back-up to icoud. on the iPhone and that Way when you signet in to yous Apple acount on yous iPhone Can get the back-up

After moving from Canada to the US, getting a new iPhone 5C, and restoring my backup from iCloud, I can't update my apps. I get an error message that my account is not valid in the Canadian App store and I must change to the US store. How do I do that?

Change here:

You must have a verified billing address & be located in the country whose store you are trying to use.

I forgot my passcode on my new Iphone 6 and haven't backup it yet. Please help.

I got my Iphone 6 last week and went on vacation to take some pictures. However, in the middle of my vacation the IPhone restarted by itself and asking for a passcode. My passcode is not working anymore and pushing my Iphone to be disabled by trying to guess what it is. I tried to restore the Iphone by using my computer but I was not able to back it up because it's asking for a passcode also I tried to sync it and its does the same thing and asking for a passcode. I don't want to completely restore it without saving my pictures. Is it possible to reset my passcode by going to any apple service center? We do have all the necessary documents to prove the I am the owner of it. I just don't want to take the risk to restore it without backing it up. Please help.

The purpose of the passcode is to protect the data in the iPhone (including photos) from people who do not know the passcode. The only way to eliminate the passcode is to restore the phone as new which eliminates the data from the iPhone. You can do that yourself or take it to an Apple Store and they will restore it for you. If you had made a backup you could then restore the data back to the iPhone (including the photos) but if you did not make a backup, then you will be unable to access the data.
You have not said whether or not you had the Photo stream feature enabled in your iCloud settings. If you did, your photos will be streamed back to your iPhone when you enable the feature after restoring the iPhone. Or perhaps you had enabled iCloud backups to made automatically every time you are on Wifi and plugged in. If yes, you can restore from the latest iCloud backup. If not, you are out of luck.
For the future, it is a good idea to enable iCloud automatic backups. You don't have to remember to make them and they will be there for you should you forget your passcode again.

Had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, new iPhoto etc. just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No rosetta and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

I had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, snow leopard and mountain lion, just to connect my new iPhone 5 and somewhere between uploading iPhone 4S pics to iCloud some important pics disappeared then installed new iTunes and purchased new iPhoto all just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No Rosetta to make apps work but its not as simple as upgrading apps and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

File a complaint with Apple for not giving adequate warning before upgrading OS X that it would render PPC programs dead.
That someone at Apple said requiring the iPhone 5 to have 10.8 (10.6.8 is the minimum actually) and in order to remain a loyal Apple customer they need to fix this mess and revert your machine and software back to 10.6.8
You see, 10.6.8 would have ran your iPhone 5 and ran your PPC based software, so whoever told you to upgrade to 10.8 was wrong and they need to fix your machine.
It can be reverted to 10.6.8 yourself.

Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

Actually, in the US at least the website states
You can recycle your iPhone at the Apple Retail Store and get immediate credit for its value toward the purchase of a new one.**

How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

Dear wise & wondeful people:
How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

I just got an iphone 6. Not all of my music was on itunes, so I logged in and instead of clicking set up as new iphone I hit restore from backup, thinking it only pertained to the music in itunes. Now my new iphone looks just like my old iphone and has iphone 5 settings. How can I undo and get back to iphone 6 settings?

Settings/Reset/Erase all content and settings...
Recently I had to do the sequence above and when the phone rebooted, it came up as a new phone.

Hi ldyazch,
You will need to set it up as a new phone, not from a backup, first. Then, after setup is complete, go to Settings > General > Software Update. Make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi and have at least 50% battery power. After then update downloads and installs, you can go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
This will let you go through the setup again, and this time you can choose your backup.

Follow the explicit instructions in the article from which the thread was started and restore the device from the backup of the previous device.

Good.
Three things come to mind:
1. I think you're implying when you travel away from your home to a more populated area, the cellular coverage improves and your iPhone works well. Is that right?
2. Do you have a case or some other obstruction over or near your iPhone's antenna? Have you tried moving or removing any possible obstructions near the antenna?
3. AT&T has a (free) app in the App Store called "Mark the Spot". You can use this app to report voice and/or data issues to AT&T, as well as keep up on progress they may be making in improving coverage in your area. Your trouble reports are geotagged (if you wish).

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.
