RESTORE THE IPHONE TO ITS FACTORY SETTINGS USING THE PREVIOUSLY-LINKED PROCEDURE (Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support), AND THEN RESTORE THE MOST RECENT COMPLETE BACKUP AVAILABLE.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN DOING YOUR OWN PARTIAL OR PIECEMEAL OR NON-STANDARD BACKUPS, WHETHER USING SOME OTHER TOOL OR OTHER MEANS TO BACK UP YOUR APPS AND DATA, THEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIGURING OUT HOW TO PUT THOSE BACKUPS BACK TOGETHER AGAIN INTO A CONFIGURATION VIABLE FOR YOUR NEEDS.
AS FOR ANOTHER POTENTIAL SOURCE OF PROBLEMS HERE, PHONES WITH ACTIVATION LOCK STILL ENABLED—WHAT ARE EFFECTIVELY EITHER LOST OR STOLEN PHONES, IF NOT ACTUALLY LOST OR STOLEN DEVICES—ARE AVAILABLE ON VARIOUS SITES INCLUDING EBAY, AND ACTIVATION LOCK IS INTENTIONALLY NOT EASY TO BYPASS BEING IT IS INTENDED AS A THEFT DETERRENT.
I AM ON A BRAND NEW IPHONE 12PRO, AND I HAVE A LOT OF INFO ON IPHONE AND WHEN I RESTORE MY PHONE I GIESS THE PROBLEM IS IN THE BACKUP, ANYWAY TO RESTORE SELECTED APPS AND APP DATA I WOULD DO ONE AT A TIME TILL MY IPHONE HAD EVERYTHING I MEED BACK ON IT
I am not sure how you are doing that. Restoring from a backup is an all or nothing process. You cannot restore only selected apps (for example) and any information between now and when the backup was created will be lost.
HELLO AND THANKS AGAIN FOR THE REPLY I HAVE A BACKUP THAT I CONSTANTLY UPDATE WEEKLY, AND WHAT I WAS ASKING, IS THERE A WAY TO JUST RESTORE MY MOST IMPORTANT APPS AND THERE DATA AND NOT DO A FULL RESTORE FROM THE BACKUP, I HAVE 2 DOZEN APPS WITH DATA THAT GOES BACK YEARS AND YEARS, AND THAT I WHAT I RESTORE A BACKUP TO WHEN I PURCHASE A NEW PHONE, BUT I CAN LIVE WITH MANUALLY INSTALLING APPS I LIKE BUT THERE ARE 2 DOZEN OR SO THAT I NEED TO TRANSFER DATA FOR , IS THERE ANY APP OR COMPUTER SOFTWARE THAT WILL ALLOW THAT IS MY QUESTION SORRY FOR THE CONFUSING POST. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
