"Setup as new iPhone" question

**JurisHP** · 03-24-2010, 05:46 PM

OK, so I have been jailbreaking for a couple years now, and I was just informed that if I "setup as new iPhone" the battery drains very quickly. So if do setup as a new iPhone, can I then get my backed-up data onto the iPhone? If so, how?

Yes by just syncing with iTunes afterwards

That restores the info from my backup (contacts/music/photos/etc.)?

I have always setup as a new phone. You will be able to re-install your contacts, music, email accts, picture, app store apps,by itunes.

I didn't realize that a sync restores the info that is in the backup?

**battlecrushr** · 03-24-2010, 05:57 PM

Ya just check off the info u want back

**Zwayne** · 03-24-2010, 06:08 PM

Yea sometime old or even corrupt files get re-installed with a backup.

OK, that did not work AT ALL. NONE of my contacts were transferred, and I am not surprised. So now I have a backup of my iPhone in the iTunes---->Preferences---->Devices" that has all of my info on it, but I can't get it onto the phone-HELP!!!!!

You didn't do it right then!!!

**battlecrushr** · 03-24-2010, 07:30 PM

I'm interested in the part about the battery draining? How could it affect the battery?

I think he got it mixed up; backups can cause issues because of injections that have been done to them. Semi like Zwayne said.

After you jailbreak, you will have the option in iTunes to sync your contacts/music/etc from a previous iPhone.
