IPhone restore/back-up
I backed my iPhone up on my laptop because I was told to do that if I forgot the passcode, which I had. I backed it up knowing that if I reset my phone in order to choose a new passcode, the data would be wiped from the phone. Now I want to restore it to how it was, but when I select "Restore Backup" and select the one I want, it asks for a password. I've tried the new one that I've set as well as multiple guesses of what my old one was. I'm confused as to what to do to get my old data back, considering this is the route I was told to go if I forgot my passcode.
Try the password you used when you setup iTunes, not the password on your phone, unless they are the same. If you never setup an iTunes backup password, try typing in your apple id password, no caps, no numbers, and see if that helps.
- Will my texts come back if I back up and restore my iPhone? My iPhone 5s keeps saying I don't have enough storage but I've deleted so much I have a total of only 3 apps I downloaded and 130 pictures. My apps keep force closing so I've decided I should just back up and restore my phone on iTunes but will my texts come back? I've deleted most of my texts too there's just some I want to still have
- When you restore an iphone from itunes backup does it restore messages? I need to restore my iPhone 4S in iTunes, will I lose my messages or will it leave the messages from my most recent back up?
- If you disabled FindMyiPhone to restore your device, will the app be enabled again after the restore? A few weeks ago I upgraded to the iPhone SE and I restored the data from my iPhone 4s onto it. (I had to disable FindMyiPhone in the process). Little did I know that it would be lost/stolen 2 weeks later. Really need to know if FindMyiPhone would be enabled because I want to know if I still have any hope at all finding it. Thanks. I tried the app already… Says it's offline. Been waiting since.
- If I restore my iPhone will it restore other devices using the same apple ID? My mum using the same apple ID as me an is worried that if I restore my phone then it will delete all of her photos and stuff to. Our phones are kind of linked through the ID but that's all.
