Restoring Backup from Iphone 4 & transferring to Iphone 3
Recently my iphone suffered water damage. The phone no longer works so I had my number transferred to my old iphone 3. The last update and back up that I did on the iphone 4 was in November. Being that the iphone 3 does not have iClouds, How do I get the last back up of my contacts, calendar, and notes transferred to the iphone 3. I visted the apple store and the tech. made it sound like it was an easy solution. He said all I needed to do was plug in my the phone to the computer that I did the last back up, restore the phone to the original setting and when prompted to restore to last back up, do so. The problem that I have, is the only prompt I asked to restore the last back up of my husbands phone/number. My last back/number is not an option. Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated.
You can notrestore a backup made on a newer version of iOS to a phone running an older version of iOS. You can't restore a backup made on an iPhone 4 or 4S to an iPhone 3G at all.

Iphone 6 does not restore backup from iphone 5s
I backed up the 5s onto my computer, which iTunes recognized as it gave me a time stamp. When I plugged in the iPhone 6 it uploaded the information from before I even had the 5s. It's like the 5s backup didn't exist. There's a lot of information that I need transfered onto the 6 from my 5s. Good thing I didn't wipe the 5s. Why does the iPhone 6 not recognize the 5s backup?

I'm trying to update my iphone 4 and in order to compelte the restore backup from itunes i need to turn off the 'find my iphone' but i cant get passed the restore backup stage - what should i do?
Hi beckiewinter!
I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:
iCloud - iPhone User Guide

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

HT1414 Does Restoring backup from iTunes overwrite newer data on the iPhone?
Does Restoring backup from iTunes overwrite newer data on the iPhone?
Yes, if that new data hasn't been backed up yet.

When I try to turn on my new iPhone 5s, the ONLY options it gives me is to either backup from the iCloud or restore backup from iTunes. I have already restored the backup from iTunes, so I don't know why it keeps telling me to restore the backup. And why won't it give me any other options? I can't text, call, etc. My phone will do NOTHING.
Any suggestions?It seems you restored from a blank back up if it is still asking you to choose one of those options. Set it up as new then manually restore from back up with iTunes on your computer and be sure to check the date of the back up an which phone the back up is from.

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.) -
I tried to restore backup from itune to my new iphone 5s but have forgotten the password what should I do?
JennyGEL wrote:

Which password?
If you mean the passcode to your iPhone, here's the solution:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you mean the encryption password to your backup on your computer:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore. -
During setup of Iphone 6 I keep getting error message "cannot restore backup" from Icloud. I backed up my old Iphone 5 yesterday. Is it because of different operating systems? Please help. Thanks!
Does your iPhone 5 IOS is later than iPhone 6 IOS?
If true, you need to update your iPhone 6 before you can restore from your backup.
If not, is iPhone 6 connected to power supply? -

How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto
Your photos are gone. When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone. In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos. Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app?
