They don't take versions into account, unless you're trying to restore one I O S device to a different type device. IE, you can't restore your settings from an IPhone on to an IPad. Trust me, I should know. I tried. Further, if the backup was made with a newer version of I O S than you're restoring to, it won't work.

I tried that twice last night, with no success each time. 8.3 would restore back to my phone, but iTunes refused to restore the backup saying the software on the phone was too old. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong? Or if I might be potentially screwed? One backup was before I put nine on, and the other one was with nine. I could've sworn iTunes backups didn't take device versions into account though, but apparently they do.

Yes, you most certainly can! downgrade from I O S 9 back to I O S 8.3. I just diddit, and even restored my 8.3 backup, and it worked absolutely flawlessly. Just goes to show why I don't always read disclaimers. Usually I will, but not always. Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
