Old 32gb i5 backup, restored on my new 5s 16gb...none of my settings restored! Help

So my old 32gb iphone 5 backup was successfully backed up. Now when i restored my new 5s 16gb model with the 32gb backup, all it did was it dumped apps and contacts but didnt restore my saved settings, email settings, grouped app folders, network settings, etc. i understand photos and videos never made it because it exceeds my 16gb capacity... But my settings?? Seems weird... Am i missing something?

Either sync them to your 5S, or re-download them: App Store>Updates>Purchased>Not on this Phone.
No iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup.

  • How do I restore old 32GB 4s backup to new 16 GB 5s?

    My old iPhone 32G 4s' screen quit working. I managed to get my old 4s backed up (this was no easy feat as iTunes expected me to respond to a prompt on my phone that I could not see). Then, I traded up to a new 5s. 
    On my first iTunes sync with my new 5s, it asked me if I would like to restore my 4s data to the new 5s. So far so good.  Easy-peasy, right? Wrong.
    The process kicked off.  Within moments, my 5s begins a reboot.  Then i get a bombshell from iTunes:  The restore has failed. There is not enough space on my new 5s to complete the restore. "Ok"  No, not OK!
    That was it.  The message went away and no further assistance was offered..
    Now, to be honest, I didn't expect it to work the first time.  My new 5s has only 16GB (that was all they had available--5s inventories are dwindling with the 6 now on the market).  I can do the math; 32 is way bigger than 16GB I have now.
    Yet, I never expected that iTunes would be this dumb.  I get it! Not all of my old iPhone's data is going to fit on my new 5s.  Still, I thought it would give me a chance to pick through my music and photos from the backup data and select what I wanted to transfer.  Or, I might have settled for an option to restore only app data,  settings, photos, etc..and leave the audio files behind--they are still in my Library after all. 
    So am I screwed?  I hope not.  I good chunk of my life is entombed in that 4s backup---I have to find a way to get the photos back for sure.  A third-party utility, perhaps?

    create a backup of your old phone either in itunes or icloud
    then, get your new phone and restore from that backup. If it's restoring from an itunes backup, you'll need to plug it into that computer
    if you're restoring the new 4s from an icloud backup, you can only do it from the setup process of the new phone

  • Old time machine backup partition erased, but new partition failed

    I had a defective time machine backup and had to start over.  My disk has 4TB.  The original time machine backup contained two backups from different laptops and was in the largest partition of 2TB.  I then had two addition 1TB partitions.  I remade new time machine backups to each of the 1TB partitions for each of the mac book pros.  When I went to delete and change the original 2TB partition I found I could minus it out to create free space, but all attempts to try to repartition it as 2TB or as 2 1 TB pieces and even a piece as small as 200MB failed and asked me to resize closer to the original partition.
    I have seen many similar issues, but not quite like this.  I have already shut down the external drive and unplugged it and the restarted my machine, but to no effect.  I now have 2 1 TB partitions and a 2 TB empty space.
    Any suggestions?
    I'm a little afraid to copy the Time Machine backups to a new drive as I heard that is NOT a good idea.
    Is this a problem created when a partition is used for a Time Machine backup?

    How are you looking for the backup?
    Time Machine will only show the active backup.
    You can hold down the Option key while selecting the Time Machine menu and you will have the option to Browse other Time Machine backups.
    Here is some good info on how Time Machine "thinks:" http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html

  • HT1311 How do you get an old apple Id off existing apps. I am trying to update apps but old appleid keeps coming up instead of new one that was added to settings

    How do I remove an old appleid from iPhone. A new one has been updated in destined but when I go to update apps that were installed using old userid still appears. The old I'd is not active and doesn't exist any more so I need to change the id that the apps are associated with.

    Indeed. I changed my ID some time ago, and now have to pay the very minor price of signing back in with the apropriate ID to uodate apps bought with that ID. Not a major problem.

  • Iphone Backup restore Help please

    Does anyone know how to restore your backup after the "restore iphone backup" option is gone, Without having to restore the phone again

    Turn the iPhone off by holding the top key then sliding to OFF.
    The Hold the Home KEY only while connecting to iTunes.
    The iPhone will then need to be restored and you can choose from where to restore it from. It should pop up when you click restore with the option. If not then hold Control or Option on a Mac while you click Restore.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Accessing Old Time Machine Backup From a New Account

    I have had problems with my old Account and decided to create a new Account. I can "see" the old Time Machine backup lists from the new Account, but can't open or restore them to the new Account. I get the message that I do not have sufficient privileges although I set the new Account up with Administrator privleges.

    You should have used Setup Assistant, not Migration Assistant, to transfer your data. I suggest you start over by booting into Recovery, erasing the startup volume, and installing OS X. When you reboot, Setup Assistant will start automatically. Follow the prompt to import data from a Time Machine snapshot. The backup history will then be inherited. The first backup will still be a full one; that can't be avoided.

  • Old Time Machine Backup

    OK this is complex so hope u can bear with me...
    I backed up my computer with Time Machine running lion, or maybe snow leapord.
    Now I have a new computer and the old one is gone, and it's running Mountain Lion.
    I'm just trying to get my old data back, but when I go to "browse other time machine backups" my old backup does not appear in the list.
    I've taken this disk to other computers before and accessed my old TM backup, I dunno why it's not working now.
    Migration Assistant I learned does work, however there are a few problems with that...
    First: Migration assistant did not copy my old iWeb site domain file to my new computer, so I'm hoping its still in there somewhere, becuase iCloud deleted my mobile me site by now.
    I also clicked every option therefore now I have two accounts. I DO NOT WANT TWO ACCOUNTS. I have now one with the old time machine backup restore, and one with the new computer account. I want one account, I don't want to have to relogin to have to check my old email box. Not only that the directories of one account are locked an not accessible by another... not good.
    Finnaly Time Machine just popped-up a window asking if I should "integrate" old time machine backups into this computer backup, saying that if I did this the old computer would not be synced with this new time machine backup. Since I don't have the old comptuter that should be fine. However I'm still hoping to find my old website on that disk somewhere, perhaps in a earlier version of the TM backup.
    If I do this "integration" will I be able to now browse my old time machine disk as I was able to before and on other computer's which run lion?
    Thanks.

    OK it's actually called "inherit" it says:
    Would you like this computer to inherit the backup history from "XX" on "X" backup disk?
    3 options
    don't back up now,     Create new backup,    Inherit backup history
    If I click inherit backup history... it will backup my new disk... and hopefully allow me to accesss the older one like i've been trying to do all along...

  • I have a new SIM/service and want to transfer all my contacts from the current 4S to the new SIM in my old 3GS.  I do NOT want to backup/restore the entire phone contents (iTunes or iCloud), JUST the contacts.  How?

    Current phone 4S with service from one provider.  Also have a new SIM with another provider, and want to copy my contacts from the 4S across to my old 3GS which I will be using for a bit as an alternative.  Definitely do not want anything except the contacts copied across so a full backup/restore is NOT what I'm after, and I can't see (in the iTunes backup) how to only do the contacts.

    Sorry, my bungle - from what devices I am used to - these Apple things still have me confused at times.
    The core requirement is the same - to get the contacts from the 4S onto the 3GS without backing up the whole device/apps etc.
    And a second part of that is how to get the contacts onto a SIM for a device that DOES store them there.  No doubt that will be a problem as it only has name/number combos, not all the fruit the iPhone keeps under a contact.  Maybe it can't done.  A simple export to CSV or something that could be edited would suffcie if there were an import tool to get it onto the SIM in the simpler format.

  • Backup & Restore - Old Machine to New

    New prospective laptop will have Window7 (W7) 64-bit & old one has W7 with 32-bit ; I'm not sure if this is the way I should be looking at it , but it seems like I'd need to backup everything on the old machine but then restore everything except the old operating system, W7 32-bit ; in addition to my own data files I'd also want to retain Office, Norton, Printer software, etc. - problem is I don't know where the operating system resides and so I don't know how I would screen it out .
    I have an external hard drive to hold the backed up files and it looks like Windows backup, for example, gives you the option to pick the files to be restored ; using the Lenovo backup utility could also be a possibilty.
    I'm sure many others have done this when upgrading their computers and others in this audience may have much more computer insight than I and so any insights or suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated .

    i am changing from an iphone 3G to an iphone 3GS and i was not offered an option to restore the new device from a backup of the old device - how do i reset the new device to allow me restore the data from the old one to the new one?

    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings.  This will return it to its new out of the box condition.  Go through the setup screens again and you will be given the option to restore from a previous iTunes or iCloud backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109).

  • Is it possible for the software to be too new to restore from old iPod's backup?

    So I tried to restore my new iPod from my old iPod's backup, but the old one was working on iOS 5.1 and the new one was an older software.
    It said it could not restore the new one from the backup of the old one because the software was too old, but the only option is to update it to iOS 5.1.1.. will it still say it is not compatible now because the new one is too new and the old one is too old? :/

    If you update your iPod to iOS 5.1.1, you'll be able to restore the iPod to a backup from any iPod with current or older software.
    To put it simpler, you can update your new iPod to the latest iOS and restore your old iPod's data.

  • How do I get an old iPod touch backup onto a new iPod touch?

    My daughter dropped her iPod touch 32GB and shattered the screen. We replaced it today, and I am trying to restore the last iPod touch backup from my iTunes account. It is about one week old. When I first connected the NEW iPod touch it gave me an option to restore, but then prompted me that the IOS was out of date and I had to first update the IOS then restore.  Exact message:
    The backup of "NAME iPod" is cannot be restored to this iPod because the software on the iPod is too old.  To restore this iPod from the backup, you must first set up the iPod as new and restore the software to its latest version.
    So I chose NEW, and then it seemed to configure it.  It is IOS 5.1.1.  But all to the "base" system. How now do I restore the apps, music, etc from the last backup
    I named this new iPod the exact same.

    To restore from backup see:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    The backup does not included synced media like apps and music. you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    The apps have to be in the iTunes library before you restore from backup otherwise there is no place for the app date to be restored to.
