Sorry, but you are not receiving any answers for 6 weeks as punishment for your traitorous act.
OK, joking aside, if you did an iCloud backup then just do a restore and everything should be restored, but of course it will take some time for all your apps to redownload. A backup only backs up settings, so the backup contains the information about which apps you had installed and the layout on your home screen, but the apps have to download again from the app store. While they do, they will say Waiting, then one by one they download. You also may find your home screen layout slightly different since the iPhone 5 has space for one extra row of icons on each home screen. Furthermore, you most likely will have to re-enter your passwords for any Wi-Fi networks you had. If you had done an encrypted backup via iTunes all the passwords would have been backed up as well. Lastly, any media such as music, ringtones, books etc. will not be part of the backup, those you have to resync with your new phone. And just as a very last general remark, I would have waited 2 months until the new iPhone comes out. You should definitely get an iPhone 5 which means at least that you should get all of the new iOS 7 features.

And I thought that I would give the android A try. Well before I get scolded for saying that on this list. Because it is for the iPhone. I am going back to the iPhone because a lot of the apps aren't there yet for accessibility yet. So when I go and get my iPhone 5 I have my user ID and password to my apple ID so I can enter that and open up the i cloud on my new phone and put in my apple user ID and password and tell my phone to back up from the cloud and have all of my settings and apps back that I had from before I briefly left the IOS platform. Or what all do I need to do to get all of my stuff back and folders back the way there where like on my old iPhone? -- Casey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
