How to get your old backup from iCloud on iphone 4?
Last time I updated my phone something went wrong. All it showed was a picture to plug it into your computer, so I did and opened up iTunes. Somehow my phone got reformatted, and it asked if I wanted to recover a backup from the iCloud.
I was given three choices but since my family shares the iCloud I didn't know which to choose. They all said iPhone and gave a time and date it was backed up. So I just chose the most recent backup. Which I found out was my Mom's because I started getting everything she had on her phone. I didn't know what to do so I just went with it, deleted everything I didn't need and just downloaded everything I had before.
It's been a couple months now since I've done this, and we're just now realizing that we both are sharing a few apps. It's annoying to both of us but I don't know how to change it back. I also don't want to try fixing it on my own and possibly screw both of our phones up in the process.
So is there a way to get back my old backup before this happened, or is it possible for me to create a brand new backup for my phone so we both stop sharing apps?
The backups will be for your phone if your logged into your icloud account.
in the settings menu on your phone, you should see 'icloud' (if it's installed) and you can download the last backup from there.
it's best to use the newest backup to restore from. Connect through Wi-Fi and download/restore the backup.
- Old iphone Icloud lock still enabled after I buy a new iPhone with icloud on it? If I had my iPhone stolen with icloud lock on and I was tracking it. But I buy a new one and activate the icloud and tracker, does that mean the old iPhone is unlocked? What happens to it? Will I be notified if someone turns it on? Can I track it?
- Is there a way(without computer)to move my texts from my iPad to my IPhone? ICloud backup? Had to restore phone to last backup and lost texts? Hi, yesterday I had to reset my phone (IPhone 8 plus) to factory default and restore it to its last backup (April 15th). I also have an iPad mini, which everything is Synced. I got everything back on my phone (up to date) except my text messages. I'm not able to access my computer right now and have read you can get them back my backing up you messages to ICloud. Is there anything I can do to get them back on my phone (they are still on my iPad mini), without using my Mac?
- If I set up a new iphone from an icloud backup, what happens to the old iphone? Will the data and apps automatically be deleted from the old iphone, or will it stay there until i delete it manually?
- Does iCloud Backup Take up more space then iTunes backup? When I backup my iphone on iCloud it takes up 4.7GB of iCloud Storage. When I backup my iphone on my mac with iTunes it only takes up 2.3Gb Apple webstie says itunes backup will backup your phone exactly as it is and that iCloud only backs up important information. So why does backing my iphone take 4.7GB of iCloud space but backing up my iphone with itunes takes up only 2.3gb of space on my mac?
