Where is the setup assistant on my new iphone5?

Where is te setup assistant on my iphone5?

Yes.  If you want to save anything, you'll have to do that first.  You can, for example, import your camera roll photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  Your recent texts will can be archived by taking screenshots and importing the photos, but it isn't possible to save them and sync them back to your phone after restoring the backup.

  • HT4859 Where is the setup assistant found?

    I have a new iPad and want to restore from my last iCloud backup. I cannot figure out where to start!  Help?

    It's here:
    How to restore from a backup
    You have to erase it first:
    ... 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.

  • HT201269 Best Buy started the setup assistant on my new iPhone 5 and now I can't make it sync with iTunes.  How can I reset and start over?

    I bought an iPhone 5 at Best Buy, and they started the setup assistant process.  Now I can't go back and start over so I can sync my phone to my iTunes account.  I have an old iPhone 3GS and didn't use the iCloud.  I backed up to my computer.  And now I can't reset my iPhone 5 to sync to my iTunes.
    Help.

    I purchased a iPhone 5, and after completing a backup of my old iPhone 3GS, I in error selected Set Up as a New iPhone in the Setup Assistant.
    I connected to iTunes and did a Restore iPhone, which set the iPhone5 back to factory defaults, and I was able to restart the Setup Assistant, and following the apple support instructions, restored from my 3GS backup and synced with my iTunes account.  The Restore kept my phone number intact.
    I was worried that I would lose the setup of my phone number that was done in the store, but everything worked perfectly.

  • HT4859 When setting up my new phone, the setup assistant didn't appear. Where do I find "restore from back up?"

    When setting up my new phone, the setup assistant didn't appear.  Where can I find the "restore from icloud back up" option so I can transfer all my information?

    You have to erase the phone an go back through the setup again.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go back through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • 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?

    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.

    i downloaded lion but lost the setup assistant.  please help me recover the setup assistant.  i do not know where/how to find/enter information in the terminal as was suggested.

    Launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search.   Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm.
    Reboot. The Setup Assistant will launch.

  • HT1766 Where do I find the Setup Assistant so I can restore a backup on icloud?

    I have a backup from yesterday that i want to restore, however, I can't find the Setup Assistant in Settings? Help please.

    Your post sounds very familiar to me,
    The setup assistant appears on the iPad screen after you erase it in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings, after you have wiped the iPad, then the setup assistant guides you through the iPad setup.
    But you must erase the device first.
    These should be helpful.

  • Is there any way to use icloud to transfer contacts onto a new iphone if you have already gone past the setup assistance guides?

    I bought a new iphone today and wanted to transfer contacts over from my old iphone.
    The person from the shop skipped the setup assistance screens, so now theres no options to transfer things from icloud
    I was wondering if there is any way to do this?
    Thanks

    There is a way!
    Simply do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings (assuming this was a brand new iPhone).
    That will start the whole setup process over.

  • How do I re-run the Setup Assistant in iPhone 5?

    Just got an iPhone 5 (Sprint is carrier).  I backed up via iCloud the old phone iPhone 4s.  Afterwards, I reset the iPhone 5, went through the motions but did not download the complete backup. So I re-set again and was able to retrieve the iTunes backup but now, I want the setup assistant so I can restore from iCloud
    Already activated new phone 5 from iphone 4s.  However, I don't know how to re-run the setup assistant in order for me to restore from iCloud backup.  I also don't know where restore from iCloud backup is located at. Help!  Don't know iPhone too well, this is my daughter's phone.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.

  • Help -- where did Express Setup Assistant go?

    hello, i am a new user to Airport Express. I had all my setting on an "old" computer -- Airport worked great. Just got a new laptop (using Windows Vista) and was trying to put all the admin utitities on my new computer. i have seemed to misplace the install disk that came with the Airport. on my old computer, i used the "airport setup assistant" often, and found it much easier then the airport admin utility. when i went on line, i found Airport Support, 4.2 for windows on the apple website. Downloaded and installed -- but it did not include the setup assistant program. Is there any help out there to know where i might be able to find the assistant and download it? i cant find it anywhere on the Apple website. Thanks for your help...this fourm is awesome...
    Matt

    I didn't upgrade to Vista, but did need to re-download the same app. Took a bit to find. I also like the Express Assistant Utility. Download the Airport 4.1 for windows (Nov 2004) and execute. The Express Assistant is part of the package.

    Hope that helps.

  • How do I start the Setup Assistant???

    Okay, so I upgraded to Leopard, but the Setup Assistant got stuck on the "connecting" page during registration and stayed like that for an hour. I had no choice but to cancel and disconnected -- and that froze for another 20 minutes. So, I closed the assistant and rebooted... and now I don't know how to load it up again. Can anyone fill me in on where to find the assistant or how to get it to pop back up again?
    Much appreciated. Thanks.

    Weird. Well, I did the upgrade only -- just installed the OS on top of the old one, preserving all files and settings. Everything seems to be running smoothly, except for the fact that I can only connect my iMac and MacBook via wireless and not over ethernet cables, but I'll worry about that later. What irks me to no end is that I can't set any preferences for the folders in the dock. On the iMac I can view them as STACK or FOLDER. Right now they're set to stack and there are no other options. I find the stack ugly and prefer folders. When I hold down, I only get:
    Sort by > Name/Date/Kind/etc
    View as > Automatic/Fan/Grid
    Remove From Dock
    Show In Finder
    Open "[folder name]"
    On the iMac I have a plethora of options. Any idea why this would be?? I feel like I've gone insane with no valid explanation. I can't even reinstall. Now it says I have no room left -- which makes no sense at all.

  • How to rerun the setup assistant after it has already run

    Here's the deal. I have searched but can't find an answer to this problem.
    I'm selling a MacBook Pro with 10.5.6. I zeroed the drive and did a clean install. I created an admin account and completed all of the software updates. The MBP is now clean as a whistle and ready to roll. A nice touch would be for the Welcome video and setup assistant to run just like a brand new Mac for this newbie Mac user.
    How can I make it happen?
    I know I can reinstall and leave it at that but then the new guy is going to have to sit through all of the software updates.

    yes he will, and that would be for the best. it's possible to do what you want but it will leave the admin account you made on the mac. that would really freak the buyer and I wouldn't want to do it to anybody. as a buyer I would not trust a computer sold to me in that condition.
    just do an erase and install, restart when prompted to and as soon as the setup assistant shows up quit it using command+q and shut down.
