Restoring old phone backup to iphone6+

Hi,
I used iphone 5 and now got the new iphone 6+ and restored backup from the old one.
i checked the usage in settings and it shows 2.5 giga of photo in photo library however i only have recent photos in my phone.
i just want this 2.5 giga to be removed but cant do it since i dont even see the pictures in my phone.
please advise if you have any suggetion to fix this.
thank you in advance!

Hello shikboy,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you would like to learn how to manage storage on your device. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on how to do that. I have also included an article that described the changes made to Photos in iOS 8:

  • Ok, so I transferred my 3S info to my 4S by restoring from an old phone backup.  But SIRI is gone and god knows what else??  Can I get my old stuff into the new phone and keep the 4S new functionality?

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • Restored old phone to new phone and lost ALL my pics, is there any way to "unrestore" a phone?  i thought i backup my new phone before the restore but am unable to find it.  HELP

    Got a new phone.  Took pics on vacation with new phone.  Wanted to sync old phone with new phone.  Restored old phone to new phone, not realizing it would erase new phone content.  Is there any way to get that info back?  Thought i had performed a back up, but am unable to find it.  HELP

    With a backup yes, no backup then no.

    Yes, absolutely, but before you do, give yourself three or four days to verify that you have everything on the new phone. You also probably will not be able to delete old backup for three days anyway, I have heard that Apple places server in three days lock out after restore from backup initially started.

  • HT3965 i have an old phone backup but named the same as current phone.  how can I rename the older phone backup?

    i have an old phone backup but named the same as current phone.  how can I rename the older phone backup?

    I'm about to buy a new phone.  last time when I had repairs, I have to restore so I can get my numbers, etc on the new phone, and when I do, there are two phones with same name (actually in 4 lines).  I restored from the one that came up, but it turned out not to be the most current information.  So I'm told I can rename the others (dont' know if deleting can be done) so that I always know which one to choose.  When restoring, it does not show the date, so I don't know which one to choose.

  • New itunes wont restore new iphone 5 from old phones backup

    My new iphone 5 refuses to restore from a backup of my old 4S using i tunes (latest version).
    It recognises it as a new phone, asks where to restore from,
    It starts the restore then freezes indicating 1 minute left,
    this then turns into 2 minutes, 3 minutes 4,5,6, and on and on
    I have about 20G of music on the old phone and i cloud will only accept 5Gig
    Any advice
    Thanks in advance

    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:

  • Didnt sync my new iphone before restoring old iphone backup?

    Okay so i just bought a new iphone5s two weeks ago and i exchanged it for a new one yesterday,i took pictures with it and then when i got home i restored my backup from my old iphone5s and i cant find the pictures i took before restoring my iphone???? is there anyway i could get them back? its really important
    thanks

    If you restored the phone to the old backup then of course it will look like the old one. Backups are listed in iTunes under devices. If you backed up today, then it would show that, but each time you sync the phone it creates a new backup and will overwrite the last one. If you restore to the backup you made prior to the old 5s, then you will lose all of that data.

  • Restoring older phone backup to new phone

    Please correct me if I'm wrong...
    I've had blackberrys forever.  About 50% of the time i got the latest phone becasue i damaged the previous one.  I often did whole phone backups, but could never restore the backup to the new phone.  I rarely got the chance to do the phone "switch/transfer" method.  There's got to be a way to do this switch from the backup?  In general all my email and contacts were from a BES server - so not a problem.  -But media, apps, settings all had to be set or downloaded manually again.
    Please tell me I've been missing something that exists.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What does that mean? I have no idea how to help when all you tell me is "didn't work for me."
    With that description the problem could be anything from the computer wouldn't boot up to I can't find my BlackBerry.

  • My laptop crashed and i had to fully retore it and its delwted my itunes have i lost all my old phone backups

    I'm not sure what your question is. If it's about your iTunes downloads/library then copy them back from your backup of your library and add it into your iTunes library via File > Add To Library.
    Or you might be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - if you've changed countries since buying them, or if the rights-holder has removed them from the store, then you won't be able to redownload them.
    If you have non-iTunes purchased music on your phone and don't have a copy of it on your backup then there are some programs listed halfway down this page which should be able to copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Restore old rman backup after changing dbid?

    Hi,
    I backed up database using rman. then i changed dbid for that databases. can i restore backup what i backed up before changing DBID?

    No.
    When you change the DBID for a database, it becomes a different database. All the datafiles are stamped with the new DBID.
    And you cannot select a DBID value either, so you cannot choose to change the DBID back to the previous value.
    A RESTORE verifies that it is restoring to the same database -- it uses the DBID to verify. Since the DBIDs for the Backup and the now-present database do not match, a RESTORE cannot be attempted.
    You can remove the database with the changed DBID and do a complete RESTORE from the backup.

  • How do i restore my old phones Backup on my new phone

    I just had my phone replaced and cannot figure out how to restore all my information that is (or atleast should be) on backup on my computer?

    When you connect your new phone, itunes running, Right-click (or Control-click) your phone in the device pane, and choose Restore from Backup. Follow this by syncing your itunes content back to your phone. The only things that won't ne restored are passwords for wifi & email. These are not restored for security reasons.

  • Do i need to keep my old phone backup on my icloud or can I delete the account

    I have purchased more storage for my iphone and have noticed that under storage and backup my old iphone appears along with my current one. Is there any reason to keep this on the phone? I feel like it's taking up space that I could use

    If you no longer need the backup, go ahead and delete it.  Just be aware that once deleted, it cannot be restored.

  • Best way to restore old mac backup to new machine?

    Purchased a new MacBook Pro to replace old MacBook. In the mean time the drive in the old machine has failed, so can't migrate from machine to machine. I do have old machine drive backed up via Time Machine on a firewire external drive.
    What's the best way to get my files and setting to the new machine?
    Thanks

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Your best bet is Migration Assistant, in your Applications/Utilities folder. Just attach your TM drive, start up MA, and it'll walk you through.
    One suggestion: do not turn TM on yet. Be sure you've got everything you need off your TM drive, then erase it so TM can start over with the new Mac.

  • Ive got a new iphone, backed up the old phone now when i go to restore the new one from the old it wants a backup password - i dont know it

    im trying to restore my new phone from the old phone backup but it asks for a backup password - ive tried everything but no luck with the password

    If you don't know the password to decrypt the backup, it can't be restored to any phone, including the old one.  You had to enable backup encryption and create password at some time in the past or maybe the backup is not from your old phone...
