I want to restore my iPhone to the backup that I did just before upgrading to iOS6. When I try to pull up old backups, I only see one from this morning and an old one from May 2012 when I still had my iPhone 3GS. I have not been using iCloud since it was set up improperly when I first switched to the 4S, the contacts weren't being synced AT ALL. visited the genius bar, they said I need a whole other appointment to visit them and solve that, I haven't had a chance to do that yet. Thus, I am backing up to iTunes.
This morning's sync/backup resulted in me losing most of my contacts, and for the contacts that remain, 99% of the phone numbers are gone. I can recover my calendar entries from this past week, but I don't know how I can recover all of them from my May 2012 backup.
Since I had a backup just last week, I'd like to just go back to it. But how? Or, is there another way to get my contacts restored? And why did they disappear? And what else may be gone that I just don't know about yet?I want to restore my iPhone to the backup that I did just before upgrading to iOS6.

As the subject suggests I want to restore my iPhone 4 to it's factory settings and am wondering if I need to have an internet and/or itunes connection in order to do that? I just don't want to get 1/2 way through the reset and get stuck because I don't have the required connections..
I DON'T want to restore any of the back-ups! I want to start from scratch..
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank youThank you Lawrence, I did think that was the case, but it has been a long time since I have had to do it and couldn't remember.
I will have to wait until I get home tonight to do it -

after downloading ios 6, i want to restore my iphone 4. does the original software download when restoring the phone
Downgrading of any version of iOS isn't supported by Apple. If you search the web, you'll find instructions that may work, but you're on your own should any problems arise. For many people it goes without problems, but for some it's reportedly bricked their devices.
If you haven't done so already, try restoring your iPhone as a new device, not from a backup, and run just with the included apps for a bit and see how it performs. Cache corruption or incompatible software can cause performance and stability issues. No guarantees, but it's worth a try to at least try to identify what's causing the problems, iOS 6 itself or something you have loaded.

It sounds like the problem is you have forgotten the password for your password-protected backup. See: iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support -
When I want to restore my IPhone 3G, it can not restore & show an Unkown error (1015). What can I do now?
Please see the quoted text below, taken from the Apple article you linked.
"Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state." -
I NEVER entered a password for the backup but now I want to restore my iphone and itunes asks for one. What can I do?
@Razmee209 is right there is nothing you can do if it is an encrypted back up
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support
BUT you could try to see if you have a back up that is not encrypted. If you go to iTunes Preferences (On a Windows go to Edit Menu under the Play Button - On a Mac click on iTunes at the top left) Click on Devices and if you see a back up that does not have a lock next to it you will be able to restore from that back up without using that password.
Encrypted passwords are set up at the time you create the back up. -

Hello, i've downloaded an app from The App Store on iTunes (Call of Duty) and when i wanted to sync it to my iPhone5 it stops in step 5 *detemining apps to sync* what should i do? i don't want to restore my iPhone.
You cannot call anyone. You contact them as everyone else does: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
You delete the app as you do any other app. Hold an icon until they wiggle. Tap the "x". This is covered in the manual. -
What to do if iTunes doesn't want to restore my iPhone 4s and is keep showing message that error accrued 36
Go further down on the same screen and look for more information. (I do not remember the exact words) Upon clicking on it a new page opens in Safari for instructions, including opening Terminal under Utilities, etc. Then you will have to add # and a space to one of the lines. Then save and restart the computer. It worked for me. I am sorry I do not remember the exact sequence of these steps. Hope this helps you.

This means that the backups were made with a later version than the version currently on the phone. You will have to update the phone to 6.1.3 to be able to restore the backup. You can restore a backup made with an earlier version, but not with a later version.

I want to restore the iPhone from a backup, but can not as much as they wrote iTunes
"iTunes could not restore the iPhone, because backup copy is corrupted or is not compatible with restorable iPhone."Bummer. Sounds like the backup is corrupt...
