Does restore backup replace what's already in my iOS device?
I backed up my iPhone and I'm going to restore backup on my new iPad because I want to move some things to it so I could continue. But will it erase the content in my iPad.
Added (1). I mean that the apps or everything else I already have in IPad will be erased if I restore backup.
Yes, all the existing data in your iPad will be erased when you restore your device with previous iTunes Backup. But if you use a third-party app to extract and export the backup files to the computer first and then transfer the exported files to the new iPad, things will change! You will find the detailed solutions in the following page.

- 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 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.
