Restore back up from itunes

I backed up my iphone 5 to itunes because I needed to change to another iphone from apple store. I got a new one, I went home and tried to restore my back up using itunes. When I plugged in my phone to itunes it automatically backed up the new phone which was empty and now the lastest back up is of the new phone!!
Is it possible to restore back up of the stuff in my old phone. I can't find in itunes anywhere where my old phone restore was.
HELP!!!!!

open itunes, click itunes in top left, preferences, devices. see if the old backup is there.

HT4623 Really need Help to restore back up from iTunes esp minecraft

Did back on computer on iTunes from iPad . While restoring nothing comes back but apps . Had lots and lots of minecraft work done. How do I restore that back. Please help. Really critical to get it back.......... For my little one.please help

You backed up the iPad on the computer.
Good
With your iPad connected to the computer, find the iPad name in the left column.   Right click on the iPad name
It should show the option to restore from backup.   Choose that option.
This should put data back on the iPad.
If you have multiple backups, you might want to delete older backups.
Click on iTunes from top bar, select preferences, then devices.   In the box it will show backups by device name.

Hey Hussain,
I am not sure whether the music will get restored.
Anyway try this
1.Connect iPhone to PC.
2.Open iTunes
3.Open iPhone Summary
4.Go to Apps Tab
5.Under File Sharing Section Click on Music Downloader
6.Right side if you see your songs click on one song and press (CTRL + A).(hope you are using windows) and click on save and then save to a folder on your computer.
7. Later just do steps till 5 to put to new iPhone then ...........
8.Click on save and select the music files which u want to put in that app.
9.Click on apply to sync.
10.You should be having the music in that app
Hope it helps,
Rohit

HT1766 I have manually back up my iphone few days back, and my contact got missing the next day. i restored my back up from iTunes, however, my contact did not get restored. How do i check if the manual back up did actually back up my contact or not?

Your entire second paragraph is so confusing I am going to ignore it.
But I may be able to answer your first and third paragraphs, which seem to address the same question.
I wonder where your iPhone states it was backed up yesterday. I am going to assume that you see this under Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If that is true, then the backup from yesterday is in iCloud. The one and only way to restore an iCloud backup is to do this on your iPhone:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
That will cause your iPhone to begin a setup process. As part of that process, assuming you enter the same Apple ID you used when you created the iCloud backup, you will be offered the opportunity to restore from it.

I restored my iphone then chose to back up from itunes and lost all my photos !

I restored my Iphone 4 and then chose to back up from itunes (as there where I have always backed up on to) I got all my apps back and contacts, but lost all my photos, wi-fi info and other little bits.
Does anyone know how to get them back at all?!??
Thank you so much

Something may be wrong with the backup in regards to texts and photos in the Camera Roll with your iPhone 4, but music is not included with the backup and the same for photos transferred from your computer.
The music should be in your iTunes library on your computer and any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone 4 should remain on your computer.

Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too.

Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too. I tried the deactivate/activate that was suggested it still didnt work. I took the ipod to a friend and hooked to her laptop and it synced fine but now trying to sync on mine it wont do it and it has the backup encryption on but no passwords will unlock it. itunes will reccognize the ipod and the iphone but while going thru the sync steps they both get to step 2 then lock up itunes and then says its syncing but will never stop. I am very frustrated and am regretting buying products from Apple.

It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days. The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.

How can I import a backing track from itunes to garageband? thanks!

how can I import a backing track from itunes to garageband? Just trying to record over it. thanks!

Reveal iTunes in GarageBand in the Media Browser like this:
Use the search field to find your song in iTunes, and drag the song from the m
Media Browser to a real instrument track or an empty space on the Time Line.
Or drag the song from the iTunes Application window to the desktop, and from the Desktop into the Time Line in GarageBand. Unfortunately you cannot drag directly from iTunes to Garageband.

Do you use iCloud?
What kind of calendars? iPhone calendar or from a service like Google or Exchange?
It is possible you have more than one backup.
Check in iTunes:
Mac: iTunes > Preferences (COMMAND+,) > Devices
PC: Edit > Preferences (CTRL+,) > Devices

I've tried unplugg and plugg in again like 100 times. What shall I do?

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Also try this, copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
"No SIM installed" alert (GSM models only)
Remove the SIM card (micro-SIM on iPhone 4). Insert the SIM eject tool or the end of a small paper clip into the hole on the SIM tray. Press firmly and push it straight in until the tray pops out. See this document for more information.
Verify the SIM card is not damaged or dirty.
Reinstall the SIM card.
Turn the phone off and back on.
Wait approximately two minutes, then see if iPhone detects the SIM card and if it will register on the network.
If that doesn't work, try another SIM card, if possible, to see if it is detected.
