Messed up my new iPhone 5 while syncing it to iTunes?
So I just got a new iPhone 5 And its a huge upgrade from my iPhone 3G. When I tried to sync my new iPhone I had to update my iTunes because I hadn't done that in a while either.
Now when I synced my iPhone to the latest version of iTunes it gave me two options: set the iPhone as "new iPhone" or "restore old iPhone". I thought restoring meant just backing up my music and pictures but it turns out that it totally reset everything to the way my old iPhone was.
I know that this might not be a huge deal but you know the battery life percentage? That disappeared after I restored my phone. How do I get that back? And is there a way to undo this whole restoring thing without resetting everything? Please answer soon!
"it gave me two options: set the iPhone as "new iPhone" or "restore old iPhone"."
I'm guessing you made the wrong choice, or you wouldn't be posting your question here. "Restore" means to return your iPhone to it's PREVIOUS settings. And, you likely set your new iPhone to your old iPhone's settings, BAD.
The right choice was "new iPhone". And, now you need to take your new iPhone back to the store where you bought it, and hope that they can fix it for you.

Haha I don't know much about phones tbh!

I even deleted that song from my itunes library (while syncing) and it's still stuck! If I eject my phone, while anything happen? What should I do!
- Syncing my iphone to a new itunes will it erase everything else besides my music? Okay I have a problem, my iPhone is already synced to an iTunes account but I want to sync it to a different one. All I want is the music and I'm afraid it will end up deleting everything off my phone like my contacts, pictures, messages, apps.i've already done it once before but i'm afraid it will delete everything because my friend tried syncing hers to a different account and it completely deleted EVERYTHING.
- Syncing my iPhone to a new computer for iTunes If I sync my iPhone to my iTunes library on a different computer just for the iTunes library, will everything on the phone be completely erased? Or will just the music be replaced?
