iPhone restore via iTunes or iCloud?

I just got my iPhone SE yesterday and the need to put in place. I prefer to start fresh, but I understand that this is not possible if you have an Apple Watch and you want to maintain your health/fitness data - you have to perform a restore.

I did a restore to iCloud, but it takes forever. My phone did the initial restoration part and I use the phone, but almost no apps are on the device (all off) and there are many who are partially installed - the small animation of pie is done percentage.

Also, for the control of certain items to oneline to this topic, I went to settings | iCloud | Backup copy. He said briefly restored my device, but now it doesn't, and the rocker "iCloud backup" has been changed to off. I did not touch anything on this page or stop the restore. I tried to turn on the backup switch, but the switch has been deactivated - may be normal in the process of restoration?

However, if I go to iCloud. Storage | Manage storage, it shows my new phone and said "backup options will be available when your iPhone is restored from the backup."

For example, a screen confirms at least than a restore happening. Also, when I'm on my home screen, the circle of spinning next to the WiFi icon is spinning, indicating something is happening, but he did this for hours and he made no visible progress.

So, my question:

  1. I'll be patient and let it continue?
  2. Should I just wipe the device, plug it into iTunes and make an iCloud restore from there?
  3. Should I just wipe the device, plug it into iTunes, and do an iTunes restore - I reinforced my old phone twice before it - encrypted iCloud and iTunes.

Thanks for any help. Everything is on iOS 9.3.2.

Numbers 3, from iTunes.

I always prefer to use encrypted iTunes backup. It seems faster, not dependent on the vagaries of Internet connection speed and you can also synchronize immediately.

Backups do not include the apps and all but the most recent photos. They must be synchronized and downloaded again, so I leave the iPhone plugged into the USB power.

    iPhone 6s more stuck in the mode of the brick after downloading ios10. Cannot restore via iTunes. error 3014

    After the update to ios10, my 5s iPhone seems to work very well. I reconnected it to iTunes and then it bricked, and I panicked.

    iTunes synced a couple of times, it took about an hour and a half for me. After that it stopped its cycle of synchronization, I unplugged my iPhone - it still bricked. I then did a hard reset and it worked.

    Maybe I got lucky, maybe my iPhone and iTunes need a kick in their buttocks.

  • iBooks do not sync via iTunes or iCloud PDF files

  • After the factory restore via itunes on pc on my ipod classic he said plug on sector finally now all I get is a picture of a charger and taken, it won't even load

    After restoring my ipod classic 4th generation 40 GB to factory settings via itunes on my pc the message plug to the charger to complete came I did it, but all I get is a picture of a charger and power socket, but it will not charge or do anything else

    The 4th generation iPod requires the connection to the USB adapter that comes with it to complete the restore process.  Another adapter Apple, like the one that comes with the iPhone or iPad, should also work.  Non-Apple power adapters may work fine for regular charging of the battery of the iPod, but often do not work for this particular use.  If you have a Mac with a FireWire port, and you have a FireWire cable, you can also get past this step by connecting the iPod to a FireWire port.  It is a peculiarity of design iPod 4th gen.

  • Cannot restore backup iOS 10 iCloud

    Hi, I have updated my iPhone to iOS 10 6 yesterday making a new installation (with IPSW restore via iTunes) then I could restore from my last backup (I backup with iTunes).

    After the update, while completing the initial installation of the phone, I choose "Restore from backup iCloud" then I select the backup that I want to restore, but once the backup is complete download I get a message "cannot restore backup. I tried several times and also with the previous backups of the same phone as well as with the same result.

    Is this a bug with iCloud? Is there another way I can restore my apps on my iPhone for this backup?

  • is it normal for a restoration of a 5s via itunes iphone to take over plant 5 hours?

    Problems with my 8 month old iphone 5 s with sound.  Apple Tech told me that it is still under warranty, but just to make sure that it is not a software problem, to do a restore to factory via itunes.  I started it over 5 hours ago and he went "on iphone software update" (took 1 h 30) to the 'preparation restore software' (3.5 hours and more) and is not spent one more.  I have a lot of pictures on my phone, but only a few applications, so this seems like a ridiculous amount of time to me. And my phone has all the latest updates on this topic.  Is this normal?

    No, it shouldn't take five hours. Definitely not normal.

    Take your iPhone at the Apple Store.

    May be a good idea to double check the warranty > https://checkcoverage.apple.com

  • iPhone 6 s - 100% carbon copy backup/restore to iTunes - is that possible?

    Hello

    I am trying to find a way to save/restore an iPhone via iTunes installation so that the restoration of places any return on the phone with the same configuration (essentially, an exact clone of the original installation that is being backed up).

    Questions that I met with attempts to use iTunes for backup/restore:

    • Passwords and other security information do not restore.
    • Applications not getting restored
    • WIFI networks not get restored
    • attached randomly do not restore (some, not all).

    iCloud backups solve this problem (sort of).

    • It takes an internet connection takes too long and medium, and you are left without a phone can be used for a period of time, so that the restore process is complete. I'd rather do it via iTunes.
    • Passwords and other security information do not restore.

    Any help please? In the end, I'm looking for a way to backup my phone to a PC and restore it so it looks identical to how it did before the backup.

    For a long time (perhaps in the iPhone 4/5 days?) this process described above works, 100%. Apple changed something in recent years.

    Thank you

    Bob

    The backup does not contain music or apps, because they should be in the media library iTunes on your computer, and if you synchronize right after that the restoration of the backup is then reinstalled. Normally this is done automatically when you perform a restore if you not to interrupt.

    Passwords and health data are only saved if you choose encrypted backup.

    There is no way to make a backup "image" of the phone, but if you use Encrypted and let run until the end, that it will restore everything the way it was.
