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.

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.

  • 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 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 ...

  • HT201210 Restore from itunes backup. Error after downloading iOS 6

    After downloading iOS 6, my iPhone will not connect to itunes properly in order to complete the download and turn on my phone again. I set the Language and country, and then when given the option, I select to 'restore from iTunes backup'. It asks to connect to itunes, which i do, it reads 'connected' but nothing happens. I cannot progress from this stage. Please help. Has anyone experienced this?

    Ii'm having the same issue sycai. Anymore of us ou there?

  • Wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app

    wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app so I am concerned

    If the backup and restore takes place properly, you shouldn't have any issue as millions of people have done an update from iOS 4.

  • 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

    is it possible to restore from a backup after initial setup on my iPad air?

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Can not access Viber messages, photos & videos after making restore from iTunes backup

    Hello Viber Team,
    I have sent several help requests about my Viber issue but I did not receive any reply from anyone at viber's support team.
    It's highly seems the new viber app v5.1 which released on November 18, 2014 for iOS devices has a bug which deletes all messages and call logs once the app is updated to the new version. Because it requires for re-activation of already active viber account (as a new user) which causes this issue.
    As mentioned in viber website, the only effective method to restore in-app viber data is to restore from either iCloud or iTunes backup. I've tried both methods while I had backup from my viber messages in both backups. But after iphone is restored the app, on the first attempt to open the viber app, it crashes and deletes all messages and a popup window appears which asks for re-activation (while the account has already been actived) and I did NOT deactivated or NOT deleted before doing restore).
    I have also reviewed the other people's feedbacks in AppStore and it seems that I'm not the only person encountering with this technical issue. I'm  using iPhone 5S with iOS 7.1.2 and tried at least 10 times to retrieve my viber messages by backup restore, and not sure if the device's 64bit SoC has anything to cause this problem.
    Please inform me to find a solution for this disaster issue, or at least let me know if you're acknowledged and are analyzing the issue to provide a fix in your next update.
    Thank you.

    First, restoring from a backup you made AFTER messing with restrictions isn;t going to help you. Doing so will put the problem right back on your phone. So unless you have an earlier backup - you may not - you will have to restore as a new device.
    Second, don't know where you buy your cables but an Apple lightning cable is $19 direct from Apple. Sometimes they're cheaper if you buy from Amazon or other online retailers. And even less if you buy a reputable third-party cable (never buy off brand!).
    finally, a new cable does not necessarily mean it works, though that would be unusual. First try resetting your iPhone. This will work even if it's in recovery mode. Simultaneously press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
    If that works, your good to go. If not, report back. But again, remember, restoring that backup will place the restrictions back on your iPhone.
