Hi Alan, Let us know what happens. I'm pretty sure iTunes restores from on-board apps if they're on your computer because last year, when I got a new iPhone, I got tons of errors saying certain apps couldn't be restored. It turned out that I had a bunch of apps that had entries in my iTunes library, but the apps they linked to were missing. I don't know how that happened, but clearly, iTunes was trying to restore those apps from its library on my Mac and gave error messages when it couldn't find them. Using iTunes to download the missing apps got rid of the error messages, and the apps were copied to my phone.
I have heard that if you restore in this way, some apps take up more space on your device than they would if you downloaded them because you end up with the complete app, rather than the thinned version. Still, it's a faster way to get your apps, and it's nice to be able to restore from a backup without needing a good Wi-Fi connection.
