Restoring from a Backup
You can restore the settings, application data, and other information from a backup,
or use this feature to transfer these items to another iPhone.
Restore iPhone from a backup:
1 Connect iPhone to the computer you normally sync with.
2 In iTunes, Control-click iPhone in the sidebar and choose “Restore from Backup” from
the menu that appears.
3 Choose the backup that you want to restore from the pop-up menu, then click Restore.
If your backup is encrypted, you’ll need to enter your password.
After restoring from a backup, previous data is no longer accessible via the iPhone
user interface, but it isn’t erased from your iPhone. For information about erasing all
content and settings, see “Resetting iPhone” on page 149.
Important: Restoring iPhone from a backup restores all data in the backup, including
data for other applications. If you choose an old backup, restoring from it could replace
the data for applications with data that is not current.
