Restoring iPhone 6 backup from iTunes - 12.1.2.27, 64-bit

Yesterday I backed up my iPhone to iTunes.  Because I had restored from Verizon Cloud only 8 of my Contacts were showing!
Today I restored the iTunes backup and my full Contacts were visible...  for SECONDS!  They all showed then the screen blinked and the previous 8 were back!
How can I stop this from happening???

Sounds like the contacts were deleted after that backup.
Restore from the same backup.
As fast as you can
Use the control center, swipe up from the bottom of the screen,
Turn on Airplane mode
Next
Settings > iCloud,
      Turn off contacts, save them to the iPhone, if asked.
Turn off Airplane mode
Turn on the contacts, if asked Merge them.
Best of Luck

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Accessing the iPhone backup from iTunes...

    I've found the files and all that jazz, but is there currently any way to decode the mdbackup files? I'm running with Windows Vista, so I'm sure it will be a difficult process.... I appreciate any help or advice anyone has to offer. ;D

    Does Apple has any way to help me recover some photos that I took using iphone 3g from the backup files. Unfortunately, the manifest file associated with those backed up photo files are corrupt and incomplete. As a result, iTunes will not restore that set of backed files. Those photos are very precious to me. How can I decrypt those .mdbackup files and convert them back to jpg files? There got to be a way. thanks for the info!

  • Lost iphone backup from itunes. Help?

    Hi! I did a backup of my old iphone 4 on itunes, and then I did backup of my wifes iphone and my ipad and today when I was going to recover my backup to my new iphone 4 it was gone. And now I have nothing. Is there anything I can do to recover?

    cannot restore from the only backup that appear on iTunes!: it is greyed
    That means the backup is corrupted or was made from an iOS version later than what"s on your divice.  What iOS version was in the phone when you backed up?  Jailbroken?
    Were you also syncing your contacts with iCloud or an app on your computer?

  • How do I get the "previous" Iphone backup from Itunes?

    I restored my Iphone but ran out of disc space on C:/ when I restored my backup.
    When I connected my Iphone again - it made a fresh backup of the restoed "clean" Iphone.
    How can I get hold of the previous backup?

    Hi Greg
    Thanks for reply. Yes - it unfortunately did do quick "blank" backup before I could stop it.
    When I go to Preferences and device - I do not see the older backups? FOr example I can see the following backups - but it does not show to select it:
    D:\Documents and Settings\Ario\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\f42dcf2432719c4572955dcab11b6e67439912b0
    I can also see other backups on my previuous PC:
    I:\Dirk Burned PC Backup\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\42212401cdb9ec1a500c9291bf83ca8661d55c2e
    I also have a 2 day old backup that I can see at my work PC in a similar way.
    Is there any way I can get to these backups?  When I log onto Itunes, and I right click on my Iphone, I can restore - but then the selection is only shopwing my latest backup - which is the blank one.

  • My iPhone Backup from iTunes is very very very slow.

    I have seen other people in here complaining that their iphone backups are slow but mine is really really really slow. I lifted my iphone connected to backup last night and in the morning it was still halfway done. When I come to work I connect it to my work computer and by end of the day it is only a quoter done. I don't have a backup and I am not sure what I can do to get this thing to backup.

    I'm experiencing the same problem. My iPhone have been backing up less than 1GB (744 MB to be exact) of data for over 12 hours and only less than 2/3 was completed. I then received a telephone call (that I missed) and it started ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!
    I have 2 systems Vista and Leopard 10.5.4 and same things happens on both system.
    This is extremely annoying, I've been trying to backup for the past week and just haven't been able to succeed.
    I was told the latest firmware would resolve this problem. So I upgraded to 2.0.1 and I'm still having the same problem.
    Help,
