I am switching back to my exact OLD iphone I used 2 years ago. However, when I connect to Itunes to sync from my current Iphone, it does not recognize my current sync as it is trying to sync the data from that phones last sync 2 years ago. Help please!?
iPhone 4
You can not restore a backup made from a device running a newer version of iOS to a device running an older version.
Update the old phone to the current version of iOS, then try restoring your backup.
I am not wanting to restore the old backup. I am wanting phone B's backup to sync to Phone A. However, when I connect Phone A, it automatically remembers the data from two years ago when I used to use that phone. So all my old messages etc are syncing to it versus the backup from Phone B.
It sounds as if you misunderstand the process. If you are trying to use the old phone and want it to look like the new phone, then you need to do a backup of the new phone and restore the old phone to that backup. You cannot just connect and old phone and try and sync and expect it to take the new data. The differences in data between the two devices and iTunes could result in quite a mish mash of data. A sync does not take care putting the backup of the new phone to the old phone. It requires a restore. Go into iTunes and turn off the auto sync to start with, then after selecting the phone in the device pane, click on the Restore Backup button, choose the backup from the current phone.
