Slow restore to new iPhone 4
I just picked up a new iPhone 4 from the Apple store this morning, and now I'm at home setting it up by restoring from my old 3GS backup. It is painfully, horribly slow. It's currently installing my apps, and each app is taking 5+ minutes to install. I recall that installing them fresh takes like 30 seconds. It's been over an hour now, and the overall progress indicator in iTunes is only at about 30%. Is it just all the data associated with each app? Anyone else having this issue?
Okay, I just found a solution, but it's really odd. The slowness is caused by iTunes not having focus in Windows. If I put iTunes in the background, the sync slows to a crawl, but if I switch back give it focus again, the progress bar starts to move.
By doing this (switching back and forth or just letting iTunes keep focus), the sync is now orders of magnitude faster, and I'm almost done.
This is on Windows 7 64-bit.

If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?
I have this exact same issue. Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud. This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation). How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back? I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

If i restore my new iphone from my last backup will it delete all of the new content that I currently have on my phone? would it be better off to set it up as a new iphone? and if i set it up as a new iphone what will that do?
If you restore from your last backup, it will replace what you now have on your phone. If you set it up as new, you will have a phone just out of the box without any of your data on it. You can download any apps again. You can sync your music through iTunes.

I have restored my new iphone 5 but everytime i plug it back into iTunes i am asked if i want to set up a new phone or restore it. I have already set it up and tried to restore it again thinking this might help but i still keep getting the same message. The phone is recognised and shows up in devices but i cannpt sync apps or anything to it.
Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing. -

ive restored my new iphone 5 from iphone 4 but the apps have not moved to my new iphone 5. how do i transfer them?
If you connect and select iP5 in computer iTunes, in Apps tab, make sure the apps you want are checked before you sync.
Or on iPhone > App Store > Updates > Purchases > tap the app icon to re-download them. -

I've been restoring a new iphone to my icloud backup and it's been taking hours. It's already been 15 hours and it keeps flashing between 30 to even 48 hours longer. I already stopped it last night and restarted but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Any suggestions???
Correction: the message that iTunes hangs at for hours on end was "Waiting for changes to be applied".

HT4436 aid it was 2/4. How do I restore my new iphone to the backup of 2/14?
I purchased a new iphone 5s and backed up my old iphone to the icloud 2/14. When I started the new phone it restored to a backup from 2/4--how do I restore my new iphone to the backup from the icloud today 2/14?
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to confirm that the backup of your old phone is listed. If so, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

How do I find out my password to back up and restore my new iphone 6? Its not the same as my iTunes password..
I am guessing you are talking about an encryption password that you placed on the backup you put into iTunes on your computer.
If so, you elected to encrypt your iPhone's backup. You will need to recall that password, or you cannot access the backup. -
i tried restoring my new iphone, as i had to replace it yesterday, using the back up on itunes, but my music didnt upload and now every time i plug in my new iphone it keeps saying i need to back it up or set it up as a new iphone, what shall i do? i dont want to lose the photos/contacts/texts etc that have already been uploaded back onto my phone.
Your phone needs to be activated. Did you follow the instructions included with your replacment phone on how to activate it on your account? If you're having trouble with that, either contact Verizon customer service (800-922-0204) or take the phone to your nearest Verizon Store.
