How to restore my iPhone 4S? - 1
So last night, I put a pass code lock on the phone and then forgot it. The iPhone became disabled an told me to connect to iTunes to recover. It wiped everything out including my contacts, pictures, apps, and everything else I had on the phone. I wouldn't care if it was my phone but it's not mine, (it's my brothers) he doesn't know yet. So I'm pretty much wondering how can I restore it?
If you haven't backed it up, you're effed. Your brother probably has iCloud enabled so it'll automatically backup… Just pick "back up through iCloud" when you begin your iPhone. If you have iCloud disabled and haven't backed it up on itunes, good luck.xP
- 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.
- If I restore my iPhone I'll have to get iOS 8.4 I don't want it. But I need to restore my iphone? Okay if I restore my iPhone I'll get iOS 8.4 which I do not want. So if I restore it and iOS 8.4 is now on my phone, will I be able to downgrade to iOS 8.3? But I need accurate answers. Because if I don't this and I can't downgrade then it'll suck!
