Are you using Photostream?  If yes, then you will be able to see your 1000 most recent photos on your Mac in iPhoto.
All your contacts, calendar events, emails, etc. will still be on your Mac as part of iCloud.
If you didn't import your videos from your iPhone to your Mac, then you've lost them unless you can restore your cloud backup to another iOS device.

  • How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?

    How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?  I did something wrong as now nothing is on my phone but several questions such as language, etc. They keep repeating.  When I turn phone completely off, the same thing happens when I turn it on.  It is very frustrating now to have no phone service or anything at all on my phone.

    It sounds as if the phone is waiting to be activated. Did you update software or something like that on the phone? You can either try to finish the Setup routine, or you can connect the device to iTunes on the computer and then after selecting the iPhone in the device pane, click on the button that says Restore a Backup.

  • Not enough space on new 16gb 4S to restore my backup from my lost 32gb 4S

    So here is the issue.  I had a 32GB iPhone 4S.  It was stolen but I have it backed up on my computer.  I could only afford to replace it with a 16GB iPhone 4S.  When I go to restore my new phone from the backup I get the error message that there isnt enough space on my iPhone to restore the backup.  I understand this because my 32GB was almost full but it was mostly music and pictures.  I dont care about all that I just need everything else.  The contacts, texts, saved app info, email.  All the stuff that doesnt take up much space.  Is there any way this can be done?  I wish it would let you just restore a partial backup.  I am overseas and there are no apple stores where I am.  Thanks.

    Make a copy of your existing backup & put it in a folder on your desktop for safe keeping. Then get this:
    http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm
    Edit your existing backup & see if you can then restore such to your new phone. Be careful, one screw-up & you'll render the entire backup unusable...that's why you make a copy first.
    Good luck.

  • I tried to restore  a bacup from a 32Gig iPhone 4s to a 32 Gig iphone 5C and get the message backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone that is being restored. Please Help

    I tried to restore  a backup from a 32 Gig iPhone 4s (That seemed successful) to a 32 Gig iphone 5C and get the message "backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone that is being restored" Can anyone assist?

    I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on.  If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.

  • 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.

  • How to restore a backup from 32G device to 16G iphone

    I lost my iphone5 few days a go, and then I bought a new 5s. But I didn't remember which capacity I used for my iphone5. I thought it was 16, then I bought 5s in 16G. When I got home, I tried to restore my 5s with the backup from my lost phone on iTunes. However, it said to me that my phone doesn't has enough capacity for restoring. I would like to have my photos and messages back, not necessarily all the apps, so what can I do?

    You will need to select via iTunes, what you want to restore. Look under USB synching:

  • How do I prevent icloud from overwriting my contacts when doing a restore backup from PC to iphone?

    My icloud contact list is screwed up. I have my contact list in my PC backup. I've removed icloud from iphone AND changed apple ID and icloud ID, yet when I attempt to restore backup from PC to iphone, my correct contact list shows up momentarily, then reverts to the screwed up icloud contact list.
    I understand that my PC backup is set to connect to icloud; however, one would think by removing the email address associated with apple or icloud that it would not be able to connect to icloud when I do a restore backup from PC to iphone. Yet each time I find icloud connected via my old email address after attempting the restore.
    How do I fix this? This seems like an icloud bug, since it connects via my old email/ID.

    The problem may be that the iphone is immediately syncing with icloud and losing the newly restored data.  You might turn off your router.  Once restored, turn off icloud on the device, turn on the router, then turn on the iphone.
    (I'm going by memory on this, and that hasn't been too reliable lately.)

  • TS3682 Is it a problem to restore a backup from an iPhone 4 with IOS 7.1 to iPhone 5S with IOS 7.0.1 ?

    Is it a problem to restore a backup from an iPhone 4 with IOS 7.1 to iPhone 5S with IOS 7.0.1 ?

    Yes. You cannot Restore a Backup to an Earlier version of iOS.
    Your iPhone 5s needs to have iOS 7.1 to match your iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1

  • Can you restore a backup from an iPhone 6 to an iPad 2?

    I bought my wife an iPad 2 and I want to set it up to be just like her iPhone 6 (absent the iPhone only apps, obviously). However, I cannot seem to get it done.
    I do not use iCloud backup - this is from a backup on a Mac running Yosemite via iTunes.  Both devices are running iOS 8.1.3.
    I select 'Restore Backup', then select the backup of my wife's iPhone and I get a message: "Settings and data from some apps are not compatible with iPad and will not be restored." I figure this means it will restore everything except the iPhone specific apps.
    I click 'continue' and it appears to go through the restore process, but then nothing gets installed on the iPad.
    Thoughts?

    I restored a backup from a DIFFERENT iPad (mini) to my target iPad 2.  I have not been able to restore the backup from the iPhone to the target iPad.
    I have tried the following:
    Backup of iPhone 6 to target iPad 2 - Fail
    Backup of iPhone 5S to target iPad 2 - Fail
    Backup of different iPad mini to target iPad 2 - Complete
    So the target iPad 2 will take a restore from a different iPad (mini), but not from two different iPhones.
    Is it just me, or can such a restore just not be done?

  • Can I restore text messages from a destroyed iPhone 4 if I didn't backup in the cloud?

    Can I restore text messages from a destroyed iPhone 4 if I didn't backup in the cloud?

    If you backed it up using iTunes on your computer, then you can restore it from there. If you didn't back it up at all, then no. There is no place to restore it from.

  • Can't restore backup from AT&T iPhone to Verizon iPhone

    I have an AT&T iPhone 3Gs and a new Verizon iPhone 4 (different phone numbers). I want to transfer everything from my old phone to my new one, but I haven't been able to restore a backup from one device to the other. The techniques documented in Apple Support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109 did not work for me.
    When I first connected the new phone to iTunes to actviate it, I was not given the option to restore from backup as documented in the article. The new phone was activated and then synced, so it picked up apps etc from my old phone, but not the data and settings that can only be restored from a backup.
    I tried using the Restore from Backup menu item, but the only backup on the list is the one from the new phone, not the old one (the phones have different names in iTunes). I even tried this with both phones connected to iTunes at the same time, but no luck.
    I also tried using iTunes to restore the new phone to its original settings. After I did that, I was given the option to restore from a backup, but once again only the new phone's backup was available on the list.
    I'm guessing this is happening because the two phones are from different carriers, but restoring form a backup doesn't overwrite the firmware, so I would think it it's technically possible to move everything from the AT&T phone to the Verizon phone. The support article does say that the instructions are for transferring data to a new phone from the same carrier. but it doesn't explicitly say this can't be done when moving to a new carrier.
    I'll eventually be able to get my new phone configured like my new one, but I was hoping I could do this in one shot. Is there some other option for doing this that I'm overlooking?

    When I sync photos in iTunes, using the iPhoto option, it won't copy pictures from my phone to iPhoto, it just copies imported photos from the iPhoto library to my phone.
    Correct - as designed and intended. iTunes does not handle the import of photos from any digital camera including from the iPhone's Camera Roll. When there are photos/videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
    The only imported photos I have are some that I previously imported from my phone, at which point they were converted from the iPhone format to whatever format iPhoto uses.
    What?
    iPhoto does not convert ANYTHING when importing photos from a digital camera including when importing photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll. There is not an iPhone format for photos and a iPhoto format for photos. Photos captured by the iPhone are in JPEG format, which is not changed by iPhoto when being imported from the iPhone's Camera Roll. iPhoto supports a number of common/open formats and doesn't change the format of anything. iPhoto is a photo viewer and management application.
    I don't want those pictures back on my phone, I want my phone's pictures in iPhoto (actually, I just want them on the new phone).
    You don't want the photos that are in your previous iPhone's Camera Roll on your new iPhone? OK. The photos in iPhoto on your Mac that you selected to be transferred to your previous iPhone can be selected to be transferred to your new iPhone under the Photos tab for your new iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. If you want the photos that are in the Camera Roll on your previous iPhone available on your new iPhone, you must import these photos from your previous iPhone's Camera Roll with iPhoto. You can then transfer these photos from iPhoto to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process. This will be the ONLY way you will get these photos available on your new iPhone since you are unable to transfer the backup for your previous iPhone to your new iPhone.
    I can use iPhoto to import everything from my old phone, and then sync my new phone from iPhoto, but the images will get converted twice, from iPhone to computer format on the import, and from computer to iPhone format on the sync. If that's a lossless conversion, I guess that's okay, but I was hoping for something more direct.
    Wrong. There is no conversion by iPhoto when importing photos from a digital camera including when importing photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll. When transferring photos from iPhoto on your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, the photos are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process, which cannot be turned off or changed.
    And you don't want these photos optimized for viewing on your iPhone why?
    It seems iTunes photo sync is only intended to transfer photos from your computer to your mobile device, not the other way around.
    Correct, by design and intention.
