If i update my iphone 4 on new computer can i restore it after from a backup?
I originally synced my dads iphone (business phone) with my macbook pro and we now have an imac and i need to update the phone on this computer (iMac) to ios 6. I did the backup and then i clicked update but it said "it will erase all data when you update'. If i click continue after the update can i restore the phone from the backup? If so how do i do this? It is crucial that i do this right because i can't loose my dads business info and contacts.
Nah I own a flip phone
Yes, you can update it and then restore from the backup to get all your data back.

- Restore iPhone backup from different computer? I should be getting the iPhone 5 today at work. My current iPhone is on Mac and at work we used windows. We do not have Wi-Fi at work but I would like to restore and start to use the iPhone 5. What I was thinking of doing is backing my iPhone in iTunes and putting on a portable drive and restore it on an windows based iTunes. Will this work? I don't want to convert the iPhone to windows. I'm really just trying to figure a way to start using the new iPhone.
