Setup as new or restore iphone to fix battery?

my iphone 4 was having battery issues, I thought it was because the phone was old
I upgraded to a 5 and the battery is lasting me about 4 hours
I restored from a backup, is this why?
If I setup as new anyway to backup?

Try setting it up as a new iPhone, don't load your email account, and see how the drainage is.

  • Connected a new 2nd phone to my laptop and when asked to setup as new or restore, I chose to restore. Now thinking I should have setup as new. How do I change this?

    I connected a new 2nd iphone to my laptop. When asked to setup as new or to restore from backup, I chose restore because I thought it would load all of the apps and their relevant data faster. Now I'm wondering if I shouldn't have done that. My 1st phone is my work phone and now my 2nd phone (personal) has my work Exchange information loaded in it and they are both syncing my personal phone number it seems. Maybe I should have set it up as new? How do I change that?

    If you don't transfer the backup for your other iPhone or leave it as is, you must set up and transfer everything manually after restoring your new iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

  • Setup as new or restore??? Photo query

    I have used my ipad for nearly a year without connecting to my computer or iTunes. I'm terrified if I click on SETUP AS NEW IPAD that my large number of photos will be deleted. Even worse is the only other choice of a RESTORE FROM THIS BACKUP (from my iPhone!!!). Yikes......please advise. Thx

  • IPad 2, restore & setup as new, then restore from backup?

    Confused yet? I am!
    So here we go, yes, I'm new to the forum, I've had my iPad 2 since Oct. 2011. And No, this problem isn't in my head.
    Last week, I finally updated to iOS 5.1.1, and I deeply regret doing so. I had NO issue before the update, and now, my battery is garbage.
    I used to be able to go 2 - 3 days before having to charge and that's with an average of 4 hours a day. Now, after just a few hours (5) I have to charge and it takes forever. I've been working with Apple, but they having given me an option I'm happy with.
    1) Mail my unit back to them to switch out with a refurb. I am against this option as I like my unit. I didn't originally buy a refurb and I should have to accept one now. The screen on my unit is perfect, no bleed or dead pixels. I've taken immaculate care of mine and I'm afraid I'll get a unit I'm not happy with. Plus, it will be running iOS 6, which I'm not ready for.
    Option two is...and this needs to be done whether I return my unit or not, is a restore and setup as new. Which means I would loose all my information buried deep within my apps. This would also install iOS 6 on my unit.
    My question is this...
    If I do a Restore, Setup as new, can I then go back in and do a restore from back up, to put all my stuff back in its place.
    I'd love to hear from anyone that has any insight, suggestions, experience, or comments about this.
    How did you handle it?
    What was the outcome?
    Did you involve Apple in the resolution?
    Or,
    Is it just not worth dealing with and I should just keep using it until it won't take a charge.
    I know there have been a million posts about this, and I've read a lot of them, but I just haven't found a solution yet.
    And before anyone states the obvious, ALL locations are off, all email accounts are set to manual, there are no notifications set.
    In the past week, I've done 3 reset all settings, drained battery until system shut down, and did an uninterrupted full charge.
    I've reset network settings. I make sure apps are closed by double tapping Home button, and done a hard reset by holding power button and home button until apple icon appears. I'm at a loss, and don't know what else to do.

    First, make sure you are using the most current version of iTunes 11.1.3 (8).  Second, what version of iOS 7 was your old phone running, i.e. 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.2? If your back-up was made with a version of iOS that is newer than the version on your new phone, it will not sync. For example, if your back-up was of a phone running iOS 7.0.4, and your new phone was running 7.0.2 out of the box, the back up will not sync to the new phone until it is updated to iOS 7.0.4.

  • Restored iPhone to fix a ringer failure, but lost all my texts and pictures in the process. Then, my backup failed to mount. Is there any possibility of recovering them?

    So my iPhone 4S stopped ringing, and I was missing all of my calls. The speaker works, it's not on silent, and I'd exhausted most every other option (messing around with accessibility options and various soft resets), to no avail.
    So I reset it to factory settings, logged in with my Apple ID, and lo and behold, my backup failed to take. All my apps got restored, but my texts and all of my pictures are missing.
    So here's what I want to find out.
    1. Does the reset procedure involve writing over all old information with 0s?
    2. If not, is it possible to recover the data, in full or in part, through some alternative methods?
    The phone is out of warranty, so I'm willing to try whatever it may take to get this data back.
    Thanks in advance.

    Apps have never been included in the backup, so is there actually a backup?
    Have you failed to use the device as designed, meaning syncing contacts to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service?
    There are some 3rd party programs that claim to be able to extract data (like sms) from a backup, try a google search.
    Unless you're willing to spend and extremely large amount of money, there is no way to recover the data that may still exist on the iPhone.

  • Iphone 4 askes to setup as new phone when plugged into iTunes

    I have an iPhone 4 that has already been setup using iCloud.  I want to make a backup on my MAC.  When I plug it into iTunes it only gives me options to setup as a new phone or restore from backup.  It will not let me just back up this existing phone, authorize it on this computer or anything.  The oply option it is giving me is to setup as new or restore from backup.

  • I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this?

    I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this so I can use my new phone? The first step asks for my iCloud info but then asks for my friends after I agree to the terms.

    The iPhone is new, has never been used. When asked if I want to set it up as a new phone, restore from an iTunes backup, or my iCloud backup I selected iCloud. It then askes for me to sign in with my Apple ID, I then agree to the terms, then it asks for me to sign into my friends Apple ID. She and I have used each other's computers in the past so I assume this is where her information is coming from. The problem is she no longer had that email or Apple ID and has no way of gaining access to it and therefor I am unable to proceed.
    I suppose my question is, how can I remove her information from mine so I can setup my new phone using iCloud. Also, I have already checked my Apple ID online and nowhere on my account is her information listed.

    The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

  • Itunes wants me to setup as new iphone or restore....why?

    So last night I plug my iphone 4 in to pc, and for some reason iTunes is now asking me to setup as new phone or restore from backup. My backup is 2 weeks old and Id rather not lose anything recent. Why does itunes think I have a new phone and how can I get around this?

    my iphone is doing the same thing. Does anyone have an idea on this?

    You got ripped off. You bought a hacked/jailbroken phone. That's what error 1015 means. Return it and get your money back if possible and buy a phone from a legitimate source.
    Discussing jailbroken / hacked phones is forbidden by the terms of service. Jailbreaking / hacking voids any warranty and forfeits your right to support here or from Apple. You can not get help here.

  • Restore iPhone 4s as new - iTunes vs iCloud to fix bugs

    What is the difference in restoring iPhone to new in iTunes verses?  Trying to fix rapid battery drain issue as well as new ones i.e. when texting/emailing; in an app, etc. screen suddenly closes and goes to home screen and all info is lost in and have to start over with whatever I was doing...soooo frazzled!! What do I do?

    Well...I deleted both my iTunes and iCloud backups and went through the whole "Restore as New" process.  Wouldn't you know the issue still exists?  I just can't understand how it stayed with the device even after starting from scratch.  Beyond frustrating!

  • I deleted my iCloud account, but now I can't use Find My iPhone. And I can't setup a new account because it writes that this account was assigned to iCloud already...

    Hi guys. I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5... Its great, I wanted to test out the new iCloud so I enabled it on first iOS 5 setup.
    So now I wanna delete it. So I did. Because my battery just wont work the way it used to on iOS 4.3.5. I guess it tries to connect to the internet so it could auto backup stuff. Well I dont need it. Mainly because I don't want to pay for extra space, and my free 5GB are almost done. Also I rather back it up on my PC.
    I deleted my iCloud account but now I can't use FindMyiPhone! When I connect to the app it wont find my phone. When I enabled iCloud again it worked.
    So I deleted it again and it stoped working again... I tried to setup a new account via MobileMe "Settings> email blah blah blah" and it didn't work because the account was already assigned to use iCloud only I guess...
    What should I do?

    Its solved I just restored it to that point
