Hi all, I'll be taking advantage of the recently announced program to get a free battery replacement for my iPhone5. There's no Apple Store nearby, though, so I'll be sending my device to Apple and will therefore be without it for up to ten days. My mother, who got her phone at the same time I did, will be doing the same thing. I have an iPod Touch I can use; if we take turns, we can each use the Touch while our phones are away, and activate an old flip phone for actually making phone calls and texting non-iCloud people. All that said, here are my questions regarding backing up our phones, and later, getting them back.
1. Can an iPhone5 iCloud backup be restored to the iPod Touch? That way whoever is using the iPod can have their apps and data without having to manually download everything. 2. Is there anything special about backing up with iTunes, or will an iCloud backup be fine for restoring when the iPhones come back? 3. There's a chance I can use an iPhone4 instead of the iPod. Will backups work on that (see question 1)? 4. Is there anything else I need to know about backups for this situation? Thanks for any help/information anyone can offer. I'll send a separate email soon with details on the battery replacement program for anyone interested. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall [email protected] -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
