Restore iPhone backup from somewhere else?

I'm using iTunes on my Macbook Air to access my iPhone. I have created a backup from my iPhone in there.
I was wondering how it is possible to restore that backup from any other Mac computers, like my iMac at home?

You asked whether the backup created with itunes on your Macbook Air would be accessible on your othe Mac computers and I answered that it would not be.  The backup for is kept in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/  Now you are asking a deferrent question about having ht ebackup on an external device... for that read this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3421834?start=0&tstart=0

  • How to restore iPhone backup from a new Windows laptop?

    I am using iPhone 4S and my phone went to recovery mode while updating iOS 8.1
    Phone got started after a while and I am having backup of the phone in iTunes as well but unfortunately, I am not able to restore the backup!
    I have copied the backup from %appdata% -> Roaming to my external hard disk!
    So, is there any way to restore it from a new laptop while using my external hard disk?
    I would appreciate if someone will let me know the necessary steps!

    Really?  Why would you do that?
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your comptuer.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You should import any pics taken with iphoen to the new computer, as you would with any other digital camera.
    You can e-mail the pics that you synced to the iphone to yourself.  They will not be of the original quality.
    If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new comptuer, then when you sync, you should get the option ot merge the data.
    No backup is not good.

  • Restoring iPhone backup from previous phone to new one

    Hi All,
    I have just created a new iPHone in my iTunes it actually the same (1st generation iPHone) but I have updated to 2.0 and in the iTunes instead of restoring to original backup that I did before upgrading. I have selected to create a new Iphone. Now I have new iPHone shows up in iTunes but it's missing all of my camera photos and SMS, call history and favorites, and I'm sure I will find more things that are not on this new iPhone.
    The question is:
    How do I go back and upload the backup from the old 1.1.4 Iphone into this new one that I have created in iTunes

    You know, I don't know if you want to help or just tried to be an * But either way.

  • Restoring iphone backup from itunes account with multiple phones.

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can please help.
    Problem as follows:
    Backed up/synced both my wifes and my iphone 4 to the same itunes account on Macbook. Wifes phone gets stolen, so get myself new iphone 5 and new Macbook. Managed to set up and get my data onto new phone without any problems, so all sorted.
    I now want to pass on my old iphone 4 to my wife, but I cant restore the back up from her stolen phone on the old Macbook as itunes seems to only recognize and associates this phone with its last back up containing my data. Is there anyway that I can restore from the stolen phones backed up data? I have tried restoring the phone to factory settings, but then I still only get the option to restore from that phones original back up.
    Would be grateful for any help.
    Thx

    Yes it is possible. Just log in on both phones using the same iTunes account info.
    As far as synching goes, iTunes remembers the info you want synch'ed on each phone separately.
    If you download an app on one phone and pay for it, it will be free to download on the 2nd phone as long as you use the same iTunes login

  • 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:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    You must have a verified billing address & be located in the country whose store you are trying to use.

    Hello,
    I am moving from a mac to pc (i know, not many people do this, but it's for work) and I would like to transfer my itunes library with all of the iphone backups, playlist, playcounts, etc. over.  Can I restore my iphone backups from the mac on the pc?  How would I do that?  How would I make sure all of my metedata for itunes is transferred properly as well?

  • 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?
