Restoring iphone 5 from iPhone 4 backup from iTunes pls help!
In a pickle can anyone help please....
When I try to set up my new iphn 5 64GB by restoring from a backup on itunes it says that the back up is either corrupt or iphone not compatible. I have tried restarting the computer and still no joy. Is there anything I can do. Please don't tell me to just create a new backup from the iphn 4 and try again as I can't beacuse since the last backup my iphone 4 had a big blip hence why I have upgraded. Was using iphone 4 and opened a text message from a friend which made my phone crash and then restart missing two years worth of texts and whatsup. Gutted I have lost the info but no way how to recover and put back on phone. I tried to update using my last back up despite that being a month out of date, but no good it said ...
iTunes could not restore the iphone because the backup could not be saved on the computer???? when I did this back up it never said it was no good - are previous backups still there? Would it show up if I deleted this back up?
The message I get now if I try and restore to the new iphone 5 is that backup is either corrupt or not compatible. Am I totally stuffed Or is there hope
Any thoughts or ideas gratefully received.
Really wanted to keep some of the texts as they were from when my daughter was born. Sad I have lost them.
Thanks
Bottie
You're welcome. If your phone is not showing under Devices on the left side of iTunes after connecting it, see the troubleshooting steps here:

How to solve this problem that I havei've had a few issues like this.
I've found that it is an issue with items that are already on your phone.
several troubleshoots.
1) uncheck everything from syncing (apps, music, tv shows, movies, podcasts, etc), try to perform a sync, it most likely will work. Then, sync after checking each item individually (check the sync box for videos, then sync, check the sync box for podcasts, then sync, check the sync box for music, then sync, etc). One of two things will happen, 1) you will fix the problem, or 2) you will identify exactly what part of the sync setup is the culprit.
2) if the above doesn't work, I've found that it is likely an issue with files that are on your phone but your phone doesn't exaclty recognize (for example, I had copies of music on my phone that didn't show up in the music app, I went in on itunes and manually deleted those songs from my phone and that fixed the sync). to do this, check the "manually manage music and videos" box at the bottom of "summary" while your phone is connected to itunes. Then, go to the left hand pane in itunes and find your iphone device, click the drop-down arrow that shows all the categories for media on your iphone. Go to the music category in your iphone on itunes and delete all the music that shows up. Try to perform a sync - it likely will work. After this, you can uncheck the manually manage music box and re-sync your phone as normal
let me know if either works -

Hello-
I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone5s. I was trying to set up my new iPhone. I connected it to my Mac and iTunes and chose "restore backup from old phone". It's now finished syncing but my iPhone keeps on telling me to "connect to itunes". It's as if my new iPhone is not recognizing that restoring is done. What do I need to do?
Thanks for your help.if the iPhone goes through the cycle again every time it is re-connected to your Mac, there is a problem with the old backup or with the new iPhone.
Try restoring the new iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup. If no problem after this, bingo. -
Recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1.3 and lost all of my contacts after doing so. Tried to restore phone to latest backup performed in iTunes but I get an error message that tells me there's not enough space on my iPhone to perform the restoration. The ultimate problem I'm trying to solve is the loss of my contacts so if there's another way to solve that please let me know. If restoring my phone is a proper solution please help me do so.
1. How do I get my contacts back?
2. How do I restore my iPhone from latest backup when getting "not enough space" error?
Please help!Contacts are not part of the backup. They are seperate and either you need to sync them with an email program such as outlook or use icloud mail,contacts, and calendars on the phone. Unless you did that then the contacts are gone.

You can take a look at this support document that explains encrypted backups Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support and then you might also want to look at this one, depending on the computer OS you are using. iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support

How can I restore my latest iCloud backup from my iPhone 4 to my new iPhone 5?
How can I use the my latest iCloud backup from my iPhone 4 to update all my apps on my new iPhone 5? I just registered it and it is a later version of the backup. Can I reboot it now that I have a more current backup from my iPhone 4?
Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have already set up your iPhone 5 you will have to erase it and go back through the setup again. If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you are restoring to you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

i just open plugged in into my computer and i press file>press device>press back up and restore,but i just cant press that backup and restore how?my cousin tell me my phone just like cannot plugged into the computer,pls help meeeeeee
There's always a solution for a problem. So don't worry about what's going on withyour iOS device. Just follow these steps. I hope It will help you.
Setp - 1.
First of all, make sure that you're device have at least 50% battery. If not, charge your device properly to 50% or higher battery percentage then continue to step 2.
Download a latest version of your iPhone firmware from here:
http://www.idownloadblog.com/download/
Step - 2.
Connect your device to your computer and launch iTunes.
Step - 3.
Power off your device by pressing and holding power button.
Step - 4
Now get ready to put your device into recovery mode as following steps:
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black
Step - 5
Simply click 'OK' button on that message and click 'iPhone' on top-right corner of your iTunes window.
Step - 6
Now you can see 'Restore' button there. Just press and hold your computer's 'Shift' key and click the 'Restore" button and load your latest iOS firmware file.
Wait until the setup will finish. When the setup will complete, you're done. -
If I reset my iphone5, can I restore it with a backup from an iphone4 using itunes?
I got a new iPhone 5 today and the salesperson advised me to sync my old iPhone 4 before connecting the new phone. I synced it but didn't back it up, and had not backed up for several months.
My new iPhone then only had the information from that back up. So I disconnected it and backed up my old phone and then connected the new phone and tried to restore it from the backup, but it didn't seem to recognise that I wanted it to restore from the other phone's backup and still only includes that old information and none of my new apps.
Can someone please advise what my best course of action would be? If I restore the new phone, can I somehow make it understand that I want to restore from the old phone's backup?Start over. Make sure you have the most recent backup form old iPhone.
iPhone 5: Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Note: Only apps data is in the backup, apps can be sync using iTunes or redownload.
