If I restore my iPhone, what will back up?
I have 3.5 gigs of "other" memory, and I just went through my Messages, Contacts, Email, Safari, etc and basically cleared everything. I don't think 15 open conversations and 128 contacts, 30 emails and 0 safari usage should take up 3.5 gigs.
I read that I should restore my phone to reset the "other" usage. I'm going to, but when I back it up, I want to make sure not EVERYTHING goes onto my phone when I restore it. I have contacts, music, etc that I don't want on my phone. I just spent 2 hours clearing it out, how can I make sure when I restore the info that ONLY the stuff currently on it goes back on?
Only the stuff that you have checked in the backup will go on your iPhone.
Everything is backed up.
- 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.
