If memory serves, my brother got a message saying the app wasn't compatible when he tried to restore from an iPhone 4 to the new iPad. He has a flashlight app on the iPhone that wouldn't work with the iPad; thus, although other apps were restored, that one wasn't. Oh, yes, I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 over the air, and I, too, lose VoiceOver when I have to do the power and home button reset. Thus, although I thought I was through with it for good, I had to install iTunes to get VoiceOver working again.

Yes, as far as I know, you can restore from any iOS device to any other iOS device. I don't know what happens to device specific apps such as those specifically for iPad.

Thanks for this.

I'm moving from an iPodTouch 4th Gen to an iPhone 5, when the phone comes..

Will this approach work for that, too, or whill I need to do something different? I mena, can I restore from an iPodtouch backup to a new iPhone to synck my apps, etc?

Thanks.

I restored my new iPhone 5 today to get it synced with my iTunes and apps because using iCloud would not restore my music (I do not currently subscribe to music match), and iCloud was going to take a very long time.

First, go in to settings, iCloud, and turn off iCloud sync.

1) Launch iTunes.
2) Plug iPhone in to computer USB port
3) Sync should start automatically. If not, activate the sync button 4) After sync is complete, on the summary tab, find the restore iPhone button and activate it 5) After iTunes connects to Apple, select yes to back up your current settings
6) Agree to the terms.
7) ITunes will download the latest iOS software. When complete, the software will be installed on your iOS device. This will take some time. Leave the iOS device alone and let the upgrade/restore take its time. 8) When finished, your iOS device will be restarted and a pop-up will notify you that the device is restarting. 9) Once the device is restarted and connected to iTunes again, you will be asked if it is a new device, or restore from back-up. Though my iPhone 5 is a new phone, I selected restore from back-up. I then chose the second most recent back-up as that was the one for my old iPhone 4. 10) I had to leave my iPhone connected for a couple hours whilst my 20 GB of data: apps, music, and general info, were all loaded on to my iPhone.

Everything loaded including my folder structure. Unfortunately, my bookshare books did not load. I must have screwed that part up when I cancelled the iCloud update. Everything else moved across without a hitch including my folder structure.

I can usually handle updating software on my Windows machine or on my BrailleNote, but I am a klutz when it comes to major IOS updates. The update from IOS 4 to 5 went badly, as did the one from 5 to 6. Restore from back-up did not bring back my apps; I had to put them back on manually and then re-create the folders and move the apps into them so the phone would be organized the way I want. I am losing faith in the process and in myself. So, from here on in, I'll just have to remember not to re-boot the phone unless I'm home and can connect to the PC.
