Restore From Backup Or Sync?

Oct 17, 2011

What's the difference between syncing and restore from backup? i upgraded to iOS5 but i want to restore all the apps(games) and their respective settings, but when i click on 'Restore from Backup' iTunes says that it will only restore "contacts, calendars and notes", it doesn't say anything about restoring apps and their settings. And when i click on 'Sync Apps' iTunes says that it will delete all apps and stuff from the iPad 2 and i don't know if syncing restores all the apps with their respective settings.

IPad Mini :: Sync Fails After Trying To Restore From Backup

Sep 30, 2013

I had my ipad mini replaced today. I installed iOS 7.02 on the new ipad mini and I selected the latest local backup (from my old mini) from Restore Backup. It completes this process. it seems like some of my settings are on the ipad mini now and there's one non-stock app that is present on my dock but it's not fully downloaded. My ipad shows 12GB free. When I click on the ipad in iTunes it appears the usage bar is from my old backup showing only a few GBs free. When I click sync it goes through 6 steps. on the 6th step it starts to transfer files but almost immediately stops. I don't get any indication file transfer failed and there's no new files or apps on my mini.

Restore From Backup - Would ICloud Still Restore All Pics, Bookmarks

May 24, 2012

So with the new JB coming soon I am finally updating to 5.1.1 and want to do so as in a restore. I have a question though, I don't want to use restore from backup and want to use a clean slate, could I still use iCloud this way and it would restore everything? I'm talking about my pics, and bookmarks would those all get restored through iCloud after updating even though I don't use the "restore from backup" feature in iTunes?

Restore From The Backup

Apr 5, 2010

Receive the following message when I connect my iPad to my MAC: An iPad has previously synced with this computer. This message is followed by two options:1. set up as new iPAD2. Restore from the backup of: iPod touchI have not synced this device and based on the date/time of last sync it is referring to my iTouch. So to be on the safe side (and not lose the information on my itouch or in my itunes library) which option should I choose?

May 26, 2010

Okay, I've got a 32GB version that I want to back-up with iTunes, that's all fine and dandy. Now, will I be able to use that back-up on a 16GB version? (obviously not if all the info is greater than the capacity of a 16GB ver.) Just wondering if i restore the 16 from 32 back-up will it work?

Restore Without A Backup?

Sep 13, 2011

I had to delete a lot of apps from my iPad, some of which had data saved on them (such as note taking apps). I always synced my iPad to my MBP, is there any way to restore the iPad to the last sync? I tried hitting the restore button under 'summary' and it asked if I wanted to make a back up, and I had never made a back up before, just syncing. I hit cancel on the restore, and haven't synced it since deleting the information I'm trying to get back.

Backup - Restore For Literally

Apr 4, 2010

Going through initial setup with iTunes, when I got the "Setup your iPad" page it tells me an 'iPad has previously been synced with this computer' and gives me the option to restore from my iPhone backup.I took a guess that this would be a quick way to get everything from my iPhone onto my iPad. Anyone else try this?Its been working on the restore for literally 4 hours now - the progress bar suggests its about 80% done but still says time remaining is about an hour.

Restore From Backup Failed

Dec 4, 2010

I updated to IOS4.2 and have had problems since. The first time I restored I lost almost all my apps. So I redownloaded apps and built folders, but I was having problems with connectivity, annoying but tolerable. Yesterday the iPad was locking up and trying to turn itself off, so I decided to do a full restore from backup. Once again I lost most of my apps and all the folders. I think the backup process must be failing because it looks like the few apps that were transferred were the same ones transferred when 4.2 first became available. I also don't know why I am getting wireless loss when it was stable before. Information :
Dell Latitude Z Windows 7 iPad 64GB wifi.

Restore From A Previous Backup

Aug 13, 2010

I recently was trying to resolve an issue whereby my ipad had over 5 gigs of 'other' type memory being consumed. I went to do a restore, and it was taking forever, and somehow I tried to revive it, but my ipad restored to factory results, I went to resync, and it backed up my now factory default ipad.I was able to sync all my apps and books, etc. But my content was gone (as in the content created within these apps).
Is there anyway to go to a previous backup file, or undelete one and make it active so I can resync to it?
BTW, my 'other memory is now under 100MB, so I solved that one.Did I mention that I am running itunes on windows (it was a gift), my wife uses the mac in the house, and now I am only using my iPad for all of my needs.

Restore To Previous Backup

Aug 22, 2010

I was wondering if I could restore my brand new iPad to a previous backup I have of my iPhone 4. All of the apps are the same, so it should work right?I also want to know if it would be possible for me to do what I said above without having to update my software, cuz my Internet is SLOW and the 500 MB download would take forever!! Information : iPad Windows XP.

Itunes Asking To Restore From Backup Or Set As New

Apr 5, 2010

I have synced my iPad with my iTunes several times without issues. Now (tonight) I plugged in my iPad, and it's asking me to restore from backup (i do NOT want to do this since I have spent hours downloading apps, etc..) or setup as new.Now I understand that bugs are to be expected with a new product and Im willing to accept them. But Syncing? This should have been problem free before apple released it. Im going to be VERY ticked off if I have to restore. Anyone have any ideas? or should I wait a week until they release a patched version of iTunes and the iPad OS?

Information:
imac, ipad, iphone, apple tv, itouch

Restore My IPad From A Backup?

Mar 24, 2011

If I reset my iPad back to factory defaults and restore it from the backup made with iTunes on my PC (the computer I sync with for updates and stuff) is there anything that does not get restored from the backup? Will I have all my apps, purchased and free? What about the data that may have been entered in an app, like a todo list or dates in the calendar?
