IPhone :: Want To Restore From IPod Touch To IP4 - Is There A Way To Restore Just Apps?
Jul 29, 2010
I inadvertently backed up my iPod Touch 3G which ended up being a blessing because it actually died due to water damage. When I get my new iP4 I want to restore from that iPod Touch backup because it has many apps I use for studying including the settings which I definitely need. Is there a way to restore just the apps? How would/could I restore at least the one app with data that I really need?
I just got a new iPhone 4S today! So I backed up my iPod Touch 4G to use that as the iPhone software.
When I restored the iPhone from backup (Right click on the iphone in the side of iTunes, select "restore from backup"), all the settings synced and so did the Movies and Music. ALL MY APPS DID NOT SYNC.
I have not restored my iPod Touch yet, so my question is, What do I need to do to make my iPhone identical to my iPod Touch?
I switched iphones today with a friend of mine. I made sure that I had backed up everything to my computer AND iCloud before doing the trade. Did it, everything set up fine. Restored through iTunes and then turned on. I still had my email, texts, call logs, contacts and notes. But all my apps and songs are gone. How do i get them back?
I finally updated my iPhone to 5.1. I waited so long because of the fiasco updating my iPod Touch when 5.0 first came out. I thought it worked, I was pleased Apple worked out the bugs. Lo and behold, all of my apps and folders disappeared before my eyes. No problem I thought, I did a back up. Restore from back up. Fifteen minutes later, it looks exactly the same. Isn't a backup supposed to be of everything on the system so that if something goes wrong, you just revert back to the back up and either try again or wait for the process to be fixed? Seriously, get your stuff together.
Just looked at the way I use my iPhone and i realize most of the apps that require data, i end up using while I'm at home on wifi. When I'm at work or anywhere else I just play games or write in notes.What top apps you use on a daily basis and what you would be sacrificing if you had an ipod touch instead?
Have the same apps in the same places on both devices and keep them in sync? Both devices are running the latest iOS software.Obviously the phone app would not be on the iPod touch.I know I can spend an hour or two doing it manually but I would like to have it done automatically.
when trying to transfer apps from pc to iphone, it looks normal, they appear and before finishing just disapear, no messages at all already delete itunes and downloades again, reboot the phone, and same thing.
I'm planning to restore my iPhone while updating to iOS 4 since I've bee using the same old backup for 3 years or so now, installed a bunch of thing etc... so I want to start from scratch.
The only thing I don't want to lose are my SMS.I also don't want to jailbreak my iPhone. What are the solution to backup only my SMS (so not regular iTunes backup) and then restore that only to my freshly installed iOS4?
if I restore factory setting to my iPhone, is it still possible to restore the backup from itune/ icloud to get the purchased apps and other informations?
I cant get my iphone to turn on, I tried to restore it and it told me they couldn't restore it, is it junk or is there something that can get it to work?
I seem to have delete "me" contact on my tch touch pro 2 phone and without it seems i can't link it to my facebook account. Anyway to restore it? edit:runing official 6.5 rom
I have been using my iPhone 4 as an iPod for a while because I'm waiting for AT&T to unlock it. I wanted to restore my phone to backup in my computer, but the restore button only restored my phone to factory settings, and it now tells me to activate the phone but I don't have the original SIM. Is there a way to restore to backup without activating the phone?
I have a 3G phone that was Jailbrken, I got the White Apple of Death and restored... was also forced to upgraded to 3.1.3, so I lost my JB!However, after the restore I still have to 2 jailbroken apps remaining. 1. Make it Mine and Fake Carrier.Does anyone know how to remove these to JB apps!
I believe I need to perform a reset to the factory default and know I need to backup my iphone first. When restore the backup I would like to leave off the apps. Can you restore bit by bit and not automatically restore the apps ?
My iPhone was acting up so I backed it up and took it to the Apple Store. They promptly replaced it and told me not to restore it from the backup in iTunes. While I was certain I'd heard Apple/Mac's didn't get viruses, the Genius told me that whatever problem the iPhone had, may be embedded into the Contacts and restoring them may transfer the problem to my new phone. Sounds like a virus to me.
He said there's a way to retrieve the contacts from the PC without going through Itunes & if I do it this way, my virus program will filter out any "embedded problem." No, I did not backup my contacts to Outlook. I never needed them and just assumed they were being put there. HELP!! I no longer use a paper phone book--I had over 10 years of contacts in my iPhone and are somewhere on my PC. How can I get them on my new iPhone?
2nd question. How do I get all of my apps back, again, without restoring from prior backup? I tried to right click on my iPhone in iTunes and click restore purchases, but a funny thing happened...it transferred only one over??? I have at least 25 or 30.
I had an iPhone 3g in the summer, and I downloaded quite a few apps. I got an iphone as a secondary phone, and I would love to have those apps back without paying. I have a new iphone 3g, and unfortunately my last computer broke so I am running a new netbook. I have no backup of my apps!! Is there any way I can restore these old apps as they are already paid for?I was thinking by just logging in to itunes on my apple account it would work, but no apps are listed
My iphone keeps dying and I have to restore my iphone repeatedly. I just restored as a new devise last week. Today I tried uninstalling and installing an app that refused to open and all my apps disappeared even the pre-installed ones like mesaages, itunes, phone and such? Is it time to get a new phone?
I just restored a new iPhone from a backup of my old phone on iTunes. However, I don't find any of my personal data now on the phone. All my apps are installed, sure, but none of the following is:
photos contacts personal data associated with the apps phone settings email account details
Which, to me, entirely misses the point of a backup and makes it virtually worthless. Is this what an iPHone "backup" actually is, or did the restore not happen correct?
I had an app that I had wrote down passwords and added pictures to and when I update to 5.1.1 it put my phone in recovery mode so I had to restore it and after that I got my apps back but not the information on them like the pictures and passwords. Is there a way to get it back?
the Genius Bar restored my iPhone (battery problems from system software crashes) and has b0rked two apps that have save data from October thru today. One is a game (impossible to level, but not a fatal loss). The other is a financial app that has been tracking money for eight monthsr. I can restore my apps from a backup WITHOUT having to do a general backup restore... Can I cherry pick my apps from backup?
I have a 4S, IOS 7.1.1. I did a factory reset, after first backing it up, and now that I am trying to sync all apps from that last backup, it says it cannot sync because this computer is no longer authorized. So I authorize the computer as it prompts me too, then it says, this computer is already authorized. I try to sync again, it still says computer not authorized. It's been a continuous circle. I have done everything from de-authorizing and re-authorizing the computer, removing the SC Info folder and restarting the computer and authorizing the computer associated with all Apple IDs, basically everything I have found on this site and everything support was telling me to do.
I had faced this issue when i last updated my phone when the 2.1 had come out.. I installed the latest Backup and Restore application as recomended by the SE update site.. Then backed up my files onto an already existing backup (which i think has corrupted the backup), hence overwriting the file.. After that i upgraded to 2.1 and restored my files, which failed because the contacts were not successfully imported (even though the Backup and Restore app said that the import was succesful.)
i was asked to repair the firmware using PC companion and hence want to backup succesfully without any problems. I cant risk loosing my contacts again. And i want to know from others in this forum if they have faced this issue on normal backup (not overwritten on an existing backup). [URL]
stats: jailbroken iphone 3G at 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 (cant remember).my iBroken went into a vicious reboot cycle recently, constantly showing the white apple logo, until the battery was drained completely. I finally got it into restore mode (display: cable& itunes) connected it to itunes and tried to restore it. The process froze somewhere 3/4 to finish.Then ya know I googled around, downloaded pwnage tool, created a custom ipsw out of the iphone 3.0 ios 4 ipsw, selected it in itunes and tried to restore with that. Again it froze and the bar stopped just before completion.Does anyone know how to treat this one? update: I have also tried reinstalling itunes, etc, etc. Update-2: sorry typo. I meant that i have an iphone 3G not iphone 4 Update-3: FIXED. Booted Windows xp via bootcamp, installed itunes, restored using custom ipsw.
