What happens to your apps when you restore your iphone?
I want to restore my iphone because I'm having some problems with it. However, I'm concerned with losing the activity I've made on my apps. I know I can back up everything on itunes, my computer, the cloud etc… But the only thing I'm really worried about is losing my info on instagram, and apps like that. So to get to my point, if i restore my phone will I lose everything I've ever done on my apps, even if I back up my phone to everything possible, or do you have to start over completely from scratch(like creating accounts, usernames, passwords, etc… ) Hope that makes sense, thanks.
Yes- I've restored my iPhone many times in the past, and every time, my apps end up getting deleted. When I re-download them at the App store, all of my previous memory was lost.
Make sure you back up your iPhone before you restore, When you restore you will have to re-sync your iPhone and put all the apps back on but if you backup before you restore it will save all your data even though you have to re-sync the apps

- When you restore your iphone, does it wipe out everything from your itunes? I understand that it will wipe out everything from your physical iphone, but i was wondering if it would wipe out everything on your itunes account to, such as music.
- 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?
- When you get a new iPhone what happens to the stuff you bought? Do the songs and apps carry over on your account, or do you sync it with your computer? I just want to be sure that the things I paid for will carry over before I get a new one.
