Setup new iOS 7 iPhone from an iOS 6 backup?

Hello Everyone,
Apologies if this is in the wrong area of the forum.
A few weeks ago I put my iPhone 4s in the washing machine (by accident). It no longer works...
My iPhone 4s which was running iOS 6 was backed up a few weeks before I broke it.
I am now about to buy an iPhone 5s. I assume the iPhone 5s comes with iOS 7 on it already.
I am just wondering if I can setup my new iPhone (iOS 7) from the backup of my old iPhone (iOS 6).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
MarkA-

How do I restore my iphone from a previous icloud backup?

Here's the senario...
My father had his iphone replaced under warranty. The new phone is configured to his number but he has none of his apps, pictures, ect. I was looking for a way to restore his phone to a previous icloud back up.
How do I do this?

See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
When you go through Setup Assistant on a new iOS 5 device, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose from which backup to restore.
After your device restarts, your settings and accounts are restored and Backup starts downloading your purchased music, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content*. You may be prompted to enter the passwords for all accounts enabled on your device.
A progress bar will appear underneath the apps that are being downloaded. To prioritize the restore of a specific app, tap its icon. Restore will attempt to download the same version of the app that you had installed previously. If that version is no longer available, the latest version of the app will be restored.
To check if the restore is complete, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. Complete the setup assistant after erasing your device (by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings) or after starting your new device. When prompted to set up as new or to restore from previous backup, choose to restore from iCloud backup. Then enter your AppleID and password.

Restore iPhone from archived, time-stamped backup

Hi all,
Long story, but after having the battery of my iPhone 5 replaced I now need to restore from an archived, time-stamped backup that iTunes created when I last restored my Phone. Current iTunes version, IOS 8.1.3, up-to-date Windows Vista.
I can't figure out how to get iTunes to see that backup and let me use it ... only the current incremental backup is visible in iTunes.
Any help will be hugely appreciated! TIA - John

Uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes won't have any benefit.
Assuming you haven't done it already go to Edit > Preferences > Devices and tick the box against Prevent iPod, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
How many folders are listed under %AppData%\Apple Computer?
How many backups under Edit > Preferences > Devices?
This is how my three backups are represented by three folders:
Assuming there are two folders, but only one backup listed I would close iTunes, copy the entire Backup folder to another location for security, then rename the folders so that the dated folder replaces the current one. In the example above I would probably add -Bad to the second folder name, and then remove -20141204-010305 from the third. When you restart iTunes it should be possible to restore the data from your older backup set.

Should I "restore" a new macbook pro retina from a time machine backup of old mackbook pro?

I'm considering buying a new Macbook Pro Retina. 15".
Now I'm using a 2007 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo MBP 15" running Lion. It works fine most of the time. Occasionally an application will freeze and I need to force quit.
It seems like the most convenient option would be to restore the new machine from the last Time Machine backup of the old. The benefit is that I'd feel confident that all of my stuff is on the new machine. The downside is that maybe glitches that had developed in the current system over the ~5 years would be transferred over to the new machine.
Or I could make a fresh start with the new machine and invest the time needed to transfer over the iPhoto, iTunes libraries and Documents folder and reinstall all the third party applications. I have an external optical drive to use the installation disks where necessary. The benefit would seem to be that any glitches that had developed in the old system might be avoided. The downside is that this would take a very long time.
What's the recommened method of migrating from an old machine to a new one?

Instead of a restore from Time Machine, I would suggest that you use Setup Assitant that comes up the first time you start the new Mac.
Connect the TM drive to the new Mac before you power it up
Then when the new Mac asks if you wish to recover from an older Mac say yes
Then select from Time Machine
This will keep everything in the system for the new hardware and bring over everything else.

How to restore iPhone from a backed up backup

A customer of mine recently had her iPhone fail and has just received a replacement. During setting it up it seems she overwrote her previous backup and lost all her data. How that is even possible boggles the mind but luckily I had insisted on a previous occasion that she invest in some online backup. Happily this allowed me to retrieve a previous backup folder that does contain all her stuff. Now I can access all that stuff via iPhone backup extractor so I know it is a valid backup set that contains everything she needs BUT naturally she would prefer to have it all restored to her phone.
Sadly this old backup is not visible to iTunes and iTunes does not give us the option of restoring from another folder or a previous backup.
I tried replacing the contents of the current backup folder with the contents of the older one and restoring but that didn't work. The backup seemed to restore OK but none of the old stuff was copied back. Interestingly a new folder with a new UUID was created in there (unfortunately I didn't have time to try overwriting that folder).
So the question is: how can I restore this backup?
Best regards,
Roger

Bookmarks don't work at all. Old bookmarks lost, can't save new ones or restore from automatic or manual backup

Tonight when I went to bring up Firefox, it automatically updated the software. When the browser came up, my bookmarks were all gone. I tried restoring from backup (I get the error message "Unable to process the backup file.", importing from a manually exported HTML file (nothing happens), and saving new bookmarks (when I click Bookmarks again, the newly saved bookmark isn't there). I tried all the trouble-shooting advice; I have only one profile. I tried doing a system restore back to three days ago when Firefox worked. I tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling. Nothing works. Please help me ASAP, as I cannot function without my bookmarks!!! Also, please LET ME KNOW at [email protected] when this question is answered, as I can't find answers to previous questions on your cluttered forum!!!

Sorry if this comes to late, I just now came across this thread. I have rtorrent and rutorrent sunning successfully on my x64 Arch Linux install.
Try putting the "SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000" line in your httpd.conf file right after the LoadModule lines (it's line 124 for me).
I seem to recall it not working when I put it at the end of the file.
Best of Luck!

Taking a new unlocked iPhone from Australia to the USA

Hi all,
A thorough search of the net has failed to answer this question and I'm hoping you can help. There are a few threads that explore using an unlocked Aus iPhone in the USA but they all seem to deal with phones unlocked from a carrier.
I have bought a new factory unlocked iPhone from Apple Australia. If I insert a local SIM (like a Vodaphone) to get the phone operating in Australia do I need to unlock it to use it in the USA or does it stay unlocked? I would like to remove the Vodaphone SIM and use an American network while I am there.
Thanks,
Shannon

No, if it's officially unlocked by the carrier or factory-unlocked from the Apple Store, it will work with an AT&T SIM card here in the US. But, apparently there are some issues with getting pre-paid SIMs from AT&T, so check into that (the only other GSM network in the US is T-mobile, and their 3G network is not compatible with the iPhone, so you're stuck sorting out the SIM issues with AT&T or using EDGE-only on T-mobile.
Also, be aware that iPhone warranty service is only provided in the country of purchase.

Cannot sync new playlist to iphone with icloud

cannot sync new playlist to iphone from PC as it tells me new playlist not in icloud. how do I get new playlist into the cloud?

Hey dr. c bruce,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like the music on your device did not originate from this library, is the iPhone 5 currently synced with another iTunes Library? iPhones can only be synced with one library:
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201593
iPhone can only add music or video from a single iTunes Library.
Thanks,

New mac does not inherit old time machine backups

I used Setup Assistant to move files from my Time Machine backup to a new Mac. However, when I started Time Machine on the new Mac, it started creating an entirely new backup rather than inheriting the old one. Any help?

Because Time Machine said the Oldest Backup was "none" and the Newest Backup was "none". Also, the initial backup size was far too big for any changes to files I might have made. I also checked the data folder on the Time Capsule, and a new backup file was being created.

PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.

Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

If I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

What happens with IMESSAGE? since i got new ios 5.1 it doesnt work fine in my iphone 4 and change the sending o receiving from others to mail o cell phone constantly...

since i got the new ios 5.1 on my i4 imessage doesnt work with other iphones, for example, my boyfriend send me and imessage and i get it as it email address and when i try to send him one, it goes as text!!, i dont understand.... this has been happened from both of us actualizated iphone to ios 5.1 ... and it has been changed constantly....

And yes, the Samsung has no issues on it's end. It sends, receives all regular sms texts from any phones that aren't using iMessage. Sorry, I didn't see your reply.
To update, I also just phoned Apple this morning, there's not much they could do at all. My personal opinion is that the number that was recycled (when I got it changed just very recently for the Android) must have somehow previously been linked to an pre-existing Apple ID. There was nothing they could do. They had me do numerous things that unfortunately had no successful results.
They even had me unregister my product from the Apple website, again, no success.
He did, however, say that there is an update going through beta testing at the moment that should, more than likely, have a patch in it for this particularily known issue since it's been an issue for awhile. So within a couple of months when it's released, I'm hoping this will fix it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed until then.
Turning iMessage off is the temporary solution that works for me. So I'm happy enough for that. Anyone else who would want to text her, would have to do the same.
