Restoring calender from iTunes backup

Hi,
I recently replaced my iPhone 4S with a new one at the Apple store. I was using iOS6 in the old phone.
I backed up using iTunes on my computer before taking it to the apple store.
When I connected the new phone, it asked me to update to iOS7. I did.
And then when I tried to restore my data from earlier backup, a message popped up saying my backup was not compatible.
However, I got most of my apps, contacts, mail and notes back.
Yet, I could not recover my calender events.
Please help me get my calender events back on my phone.
Thanks.
-Rajesh

Thanks @aHmAda1m33. I have installed and checked iTools - the previous successful backup is not listed but all others after reinitializing are listed. I've lost hope now :-(

After resetting & restoring iPad from iTunes backup, I got A LOT of a problems

These might not me "A LOT :O" for you
But for me, I'm getting sorta mad that Steve Jobs is dead, apple went ⬇️DOWN
I have 2 problems:
Problem 1: after resetting and restoring from iTunes backup, i get all the settings back. But my apps didn't. If I download them, would I have my files back? Like my minecraft worlds? I had VERY important stuff
Problem 2: when I want to download a paid app like minecraft, and I downloaded it from the same apple ID, it doesn't say 'free', nor it has a cloud, But it says $6.99. Please help me. I have IOS 7.1.1.
Thank you,
Ab

Answer for question 1: yes
Answer for question 2: follow these steps:
1) Log out of your apple ID
2) log back in
So hard

When restoring phone from iTunes backup can you choose what to put back on phone?

I got the iPhone 6 Plus and instead of restoring from iCloud backup I have to restore from iTunes backup, but I don't want to include my music just to have some more space left on my new phone. Is there a way to restore without my music??

Perhaps I've just confused everyone. In iTunes your media can be checked or unchecked. Unchecked items are usually not synced. By unchecking media in the library before restoring a device that was previously set up to include media it should be the case that no media is restored during the sync. Once the restore is complete you can then adjust sync options, recheck your content and sync your new selections. Since an entire class of media can be checked or unchecked with a simple ctrl-click this has the potential to speed up the restore phase considerably.

Help Restoring iPhone from iTunes Backup

My daughter was having problems with her iPhone 5. It was just acting strange, locking up and being weird. So I backed it up to iTunes and did a complete reset.
When I tried to restore from the backup, nothing. The restore seems to run fine for about 3-4 minutes, then the restore progress window just closes and the phone is disconnected from my iMac. No error messages are displayed anywhere - neither on the phone nor in iTunes.
I have tried this with 2 different OEM Apple cables, in 2 different USB ports, and even ensured that I had the latest iTunes (11.04, I did)... rebooted the iMac... tried the restore again.
The next step was to put the phone in DFU mode and do a new restore. Same results.
Anyone with any idea what is wrong? I would expect some sort of error message in the very least, but I’m getting nothing.
nothing works. She has lost photos, text messages, contacts (no iCloud backup) and game progress. And I am in deep doo-doo with my daughter.

If you have a backup on iCloud, wipe your device and when you activate it you will have the opportunity to restore again from that backup.
better yet, if you have a backup in iTunes it will go a LOT faster to restore from there.
Verizon cxl'd the iCloud restore because it can take hours and they certainly don't want you to wait around in their store.

Restoring iPhone from iTunes backup

Sorry guys, I'm new to ios. This may sound like a silly question to many of you but I can't seem to get this working.
I seem to have lost my data in iphone 5s. It is asking to either setup as a new phone or restore from itunes backup. The last back i did was today afternoon when everything was intact. But once the iphone was connected to itunes, it automatically started backing up the device with no data (as it was wiped out), now when I attempt to restore from itunes backup all it does is restore from the latest backup.
This afternoon's successful backup does not seem to get listed in the list of backups. Am I doing something wrong? The reason for doing backup is to restore when in need. This does not make any sense to me. Please help.

Thanks @aHmAda1m33. I have installed and checked iTools - the previous successful backup is not listed but all others after reinitializing are listed. I've lost hope now :-(

Restoring photos from iTunes backup

I have an iPhone 5c and I just accidentally deleted 400 photos after iPhoto failed to correctly import them and I chose to delete them off the phone.
After this happened, I disconnected the phone. I did some research and saw people saying that I could get them back by restoring from a backup in iTunes. Seemed like it should work, since I had just backed it up 10 minutes earlier, before the failed import into iPhoto. However, when I plugged my phone back in, it automatically started backing up again and syncing, and before I could cancel the process, it replaced my earlier backup (before the photos were deleted) with a new backup (after the photos were deleted). When I choose "restore from backup," the only recent backup it will allow me to choose is the later one, after the photos are deleted.
Is there any way to access the previous backup and recover my photos?
Before you ask, I do not back up my phone to iCloud, so that is not an option.

If the device had been used as designed, pictures taken with the device would be regularly copied off the device to a computer for safekeeping. As such, there would be no need to recover them from a backup.

Restoring data from iTunes backup (only contacts and messages)

Hello! I've seen a lot of threads about restoring via iTunes but haven't found my particular situation yet. So hopefully someone can give me some insight into my predicament. I updated my iPhone 4S with io7 and my wifi broke. So I got a new iPhone 4S with ios6 loaded on it. I want to keep ios6 until Apple can figure out how to fix the wifi/bluetooth chip running hot. I backed up my phone right before I swapped to the new 4S. But when I try to restore from backup it won't let me because the backup I did was with ios7 and it wants me to upgrade my ios6 to ios7. Obviously I don't want to do that only to have my new phone break again.
Options I see is pay for some 3rd party software that can restore my contacts, texts, etc. Upgrade to ios7 and pray it doesn't break again. Get a new phone.
But I don't like any of those options. I want to keep ios6 until they make me upgrade it.
Anyone have any ideas???
Apreciate the help in advance.

HT1766 Restoring Contacts from Itune backup to PC..

Hello, I backed up my old iphone 4 64gb to my pc via itunes. I just bought a new 5 16gb. when I went to restore I got an error saying there wasnt enough space available. I really only want my contact. Can I restore just the contacts and if so can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks

Just sync the contacts from your Contacts app. The contacts in the backup are only for the Recents in the call log.

HT3406 If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old phone. Will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to the computer? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some

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.

My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

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.

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.
Thanks,

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

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 ...
