What does restoring my iphone from a backup mean?
So I got an iphone 5s for Christmas 2013. So I decided to connect it with my computer on iTunes and when I plugged it in it says "Welcome to your new iphone 1: set up as new iphone 2; restore from my old back up which is my iPod. Which option should I pick because I don't know what restore from this back up means! Will option number 2 erase all my content and everything
To restore you have to have made a backup. If this is a brand new phone, you won't have one. Nce you have added content like apps, pics, songs, etc. You can make a backup in case you need to restore.
Restore from backup means it would put the content/settings etc from that point onto the iPhone.
It will overwrite what is on it currently yes. Option 1 would do the same, except that you wouldn't have anything on it after it is done, would be like it came out of the box.
Usually you restore from a backup (if you had a previous iOS device) before starting to actively use it.
- Why does restoring my iphone from a backup use up so many gigabytes? I have an iphone 5 and I'm trying to restore my phone from last backup. Unfortunately, the back up is cancelled about 30 minutes in because my hard disk runs out of space. I have 10 gigs left so there should be any problem with that. I went to mobilesync folder and then to the backup folder and there's one folder there. Once you click on that folder there are thousands of files in that folder that have several modified dates on them. Basically can I just delete the old dated files?
