Will restoring my phone from backup update ios?

i have done a lot of research on this question but i keep getting mixed answers of people saying yes while others say no. i want to clear out "other" space on my iphone 4s 6.1.3, and i heard restoring it will clear up that space but i dont want to upgrade my ios to 7.
If the answer is yes, will "erase all settings and data" upgrade ios too?

And that's exactly the problem, because everyone should have their own account for iCloud. You can share an Apple ID for iTunes & App Store purchases, but you shouldn't do that for iCloud (Mail, Calendar, Contacts etc. ... ...and Photos). The problem of using the same account together could mean that only your dad's photos were stored.

  • HT201263 how to recover password to restore a phone from backup?

  • What content will I loose if I restore my phone from backup?

    I need to restore my iPhone4S from a backup, but I am scared that I will loose photos and videos.
    Is it guarenteed that everything will be brought back?

    If you restore from backup, ALL data, currently on your phone, will be erased. If you have any data that you want to save...pics, etc.,...you need to first import to your computer.

  • Lost internet connection while restoring iphone 4S from backup after iOS 6

    Hi everyone..
    I have just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS6 yesterday. It was iOS5.1.1 and was in jailbreak mode before the update.
    I did sync my iphone and did the 'Backup' as well before the update by using my latest iTunes via my laptop.
    The iOS6 update was successful.
    However, the 'Restore from backup' failed.. many times!! Everytime I tried to Restore from backup, i lost internet connection towards the end of the 'restore in progress'  process so it was never complete. I had to pull out the iphone cable or restart my pc every single time that happened. Because i cannot get an internet connection after that happened. I cannot connect to any wireless network, so I had to restart the pc!
    (the iPhone says 'Restore complete' as soon as I pulled out the cable. But phone stays as NEW phone, none of my backup data was restored).
    During the 'restore from backup' attempts (via iTunes 10.7 on laptop), I have tried:
    - Restoring to factory settings first and then restore from backup = tried many times and still failed.
    - Uninstalled Apple mobile device and iTunes and re-installed them = still failed.
    - Switched OFF the phone and hold the Home button while connecting to the laptop. Restored to factory settings, then tried to restore from backup = still failed!!
    - switching to different USB ports on my laptop including USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 = no luck, still failed.
    NOTES:
    -Laptop is on Windows 7 and have had NO such problems so far. I have been using iPhone since 3GS.
    -Internet connection is via wireless router, steady connection.
    -My 3GS was on jailbreak mode before. I bought iPhone 4S and successfully restored from my '3GS backup' without any problem.
    -iTunes 10.7 installed/updated.

    Nevermind.. I just found the solution to my problem.
    I copied the Backup folder into my mate's laptop and did the 'Restore from backup'.
    All is good now.. Only need to re-install my apps, soon after all will be back as per normal!

  • Restoring my phone from backup. it wont complete.

    hi, ive been trying to restore my iphone 3gs from an itunes back up. it just keeps saying a longer time. it tried all night and ive started it again but the time estimated just keeps increasing. any help appreciated. thanx

    No matter how you restore, either from backup or as a new device, ALL current data on your phone will be erased. So, if you have data...photos...you don't want to lose, you need to first import these to your computer BEFORE you restore from backup.

  • Replacement iphone - trying to restore from backup, but iOS v 6 running and won't update from recent backup

    Replacement iphone - trying to restore from backup, but iOS v 6 running and won't update from recent backup. How do I ensure I get all my photos etc onto new phone?
    Thanks

    If you're old phone that was repalced was a higher version of iOS, it wont be able to restore. Update your iPhone to the lastest iOS 7.0.4 and try to restore it then.

  • I have to restore my phone from back up but in order to do it i had to update my software. now that my software is updated there isnt enough room on the phone to back up. is there a way to only restore certain things from the backup like contacts?

    Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

    Yes you can delete this backup, & no, it won't delete anything off your phone.

  • HT4946 When I restore my phone from a backup, isnt it suppose to give me all my apps back as well??

    When I restore my phone from a backup, isn't it suppose to give me back all my apps as well?

    No it is not, a back up holds App Data but not the app itself
    Apps are transfereed to iTunes by a method called "Transfer purchases" aswel as all purchases from the itunes or app store on the device.
    If the apps are on iTunes you need to sync them back to the iPhone.
    If the apps are not on iTunes on your pc/mac make sure you are signed into the correct Apple ID then go to App Store>Updates>Purchases here it will show you a list of the apps you have downloaded/purchased with that Apple ID. To download them simply click the cloud button with the arrow in the middle to the right of the app.

  • I deleted an app by mistake. when I tried to restore my phone from my icloud backup it wasn't there.  I need an older backup. How long are they kept?? Thank you

    I delted an app by mistake.  when i tried to restore my phone from icloud I need an older backup. How long are they kept?? I'd like to get this app and it's contents back.
    thanks

    Apple states that it keeps your last 3 iCloud backups, which would only go back a few days if you back up daily.  Also, apps are not stored in the backup, only your app data is.  The backup simply notes which apps were on your phone when it was backed up, then downloads them from the App store when you restore the backup.  If the app is no longer available in the App store, it will not be restored to the phone when you restore the backup.

  • I lost all my contacts. How do i restore my phone from an icloud backup?

    I lost all my contacts. How do i restore my phone from an icloud backup?

    I tried to restore from the cloud today after my contacts disappeared.  I went to Settings-ICloud-Contacts and turned off my contacts.  Now the phone is stuck on "Turning off contacts."  Apple wants my serial number, etc., to help, but I can't get that info from my phone because....it's stuck on "Turning off contacts!"  I really hate IOS 7.

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.

    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
