I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C. I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup. Why is it doing this. I did it twice yesterday..... In addtion, those are the only options I have. I cannot do anything else unless I choose one of the two. Zero options. Phone works fine though.
I figure that either of those options will result in losing all SMS and data created since the last backup. Not a major loss, but ** annoying when nothing has changed and the time it will take to restore.
When was the last time you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the backup is updated as the first step during the sync process?
Is there anyway to recover this WITHOUT having to do a full restore or set up as new?
In a word, no.
If I do restore or set up as new, how do I know it's not going to do the same thing tomorrow (like a few other forums threads I've read indicate might happen)?
There is no way to know for certain but I've never experienced the same in the first place. I venture to say having to do this is the exception rather than the rule. -
I'm upgrading to the 5, do i set up a new phone or Restore from backup?
I'm upgrading to the 5, do i set up a new phone or Restore from backup?
That depends if you want your current data on your new phone, then restore from backup. IF you don't then set up as new.

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. -
I recently moved to Australia and received a new iphone with a local AUS number. I have a backup of my US iphone in the icloud. Question: when I activate my new AUS iphone which option should I choose - new phone or restore from backup? I would like to have all my contacts, email, etc. however wasn't sure that option was appropriate since it is a different/new number and a new phone.
Yes, as new iPhone then restore from backup.

Every time I plug in my iPhone 4 into iTunes, it always asks me if i want to "Set up as a new phone" or "restore from backup". But every time i click on restore from back up it deletes everything & that iTunes message is still there. Is something wrong with iTunes?
Apparently it does need to be restored because that is what it is requesting. You will need to restore it as New or from a recent backup if you made one.

Setup as new Phone Or Restore From Backup Everytime!!!
Dear All,
Firstly thanks for your help in advance to anyone who can shed some light on the below problem.
I am now on my third iphone as had each model as they have been launched.
I currently have two active phones,
One is my company phone iPhone 3Gs (Business)
The second is my personal phone iPhone 4 (Personal)
Whenever i attempt to sync either phone to my laptop, (Acer 5942G (windows 7)) itunes always presents me with the, "Restore from a backup or set up as new phone" screen.
This happens everytime for both phones. I have to setup as a new phone and re-sync all my apps etc etc. Its such a chore .
I don't sync either of my phones with any other device, ever!
It is starting to get on my nerves so much.
Please could somebody shed any light on this issue or is anyone else having the same problem.I too have this very frustrating issue. It worked fine 2 weeks ago.
I have two devices setup, and they have the same name, but that has never been a problem as one is a 5G 80GB iPod, and the other is an iPhone 3GS.
Now, everytime I plug my iPhone into my PC, iTunes comes up and asks me to restore.
Grrr... I have restored 3 times. I have also performed a complete iPhone reset and a restore... same thing, and I have no idea why.
Please help.
Thanks,

The title tells you my predicament. I can't put music and such on until I get past this screen in iTunes.
If iTunes is on the computer is giving you the option to 'Restore from backup' or 'Set up as new phone' then select 'Set up as new'
Basically, it's you telling iTunes that this is the first time this device has connected. You won't lose anything, and you'll then be able to sync. -
Hi there, I have just plugged in an ipad 3 to set it up - I would like to synch it with an existing itunes account and stupidly instead of saying 'restore from back up' I chose set up as 'new', I now can't synch with my itunes, please help!
You don't have the option to sync to your existing iTunes library? You should get that option. If iTunes tells you that it will erase the iPad and sync with the new library isn't that what you want? ... to sync with your own iTunes library again?
You can look to see if you maybe have another backup from which you can restore - but if you auto sync that will just create another new backup that you don't want to use.
See if you have another backup first - from the iTunes menu go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and look for another backup. -
HT201269 itunes said i dont have enough storage on new phone to restore from backup
i bought a new iphone 5s and want to restore from the backup from my old iphone 4. I backed up the old phone to my computer with itunes. When i try to restore it a message " not enough storage space available on phone" pops up. Is there a way to delete apps from the old backup to free some space? help please!
You cannot modify the backup once it is done. Did you purchase a new phone with a capacity smaller than the one that you backed up?

I set up my iPad mini without a computer and have been using it for months. Now, when trying to connect it to my mac it asks if I want to set up as new iPad or restore from back up (Which I don't have).
Is there a way I can connect to my computer and itunes without losing everything I've done on it for the past months?Go ahead and set it up as new. It's just new as far as iTunes is concerned. Shouldn't result in the loss of anything.

Itune forces to setup as new ipad or restore from backup?!
I have 3 ipads and 2 iphones in my house sharing the same apple ID, but when I tried to connect one of the ipads to itune on my PC, it only gives option to set up as new phone or restore from backup, either option would wipe out the data I already have on the ipad. All other devices can connect to itune without problems. Found another thread with the same problem, but the solution of logging on windows with different user does not solve my problem. Can anyone help? Itune has to be the worst and dumbest product from apple!

I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all 129 photos of my graduation and friends from the past two days. And I cannot find them anywhere, photo stream, ICloud, nothing. Where can I get back my memories?
Were the photos taken by your new iPhone? If so, did you not import them off your phone to your computer (as you would any other digital camera) before the restore? If not, restoring wiped the data off the phone and your pictures are gone.
Sounds like a good time to (re)read the User Guide. -
After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music screen?
Well, it's certainly behaving as though the phone that was backed up was synced to a different iTunes library.
I'm going to throw one more thing out there... Yes, you backed it up to this computer... Was the phone previously set up to sync with this computer? Or was it syncing with a different computer and you just backed it up to this one?
You may have to end up setting it up as a new device and rebuilding the phone by manually re-syncing your data, apps, music, etc. to the phone.
Trying to keep your library on a different drive can be tricky. If iTunes starts up and the library isn't available, it may end up generating a new library ID, meaning that you could easily find yourself in exactly the position you're in now...
I'm curious why there was a need to restore your phone to begin with... It may not have any bearing on this at all, but it could.
