Hi Luketl,


If I understand correctly you are wanting to restore your iPhone from a backup you made before you restored your iPods backup to the iPhone without erasing the device. This article will walk you through the steps of doing that:


Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup

  1. Connect your device to the computer that you stored your backup on.
  2. Open iTunes. If iTunes tells you there's an iOS update, get the latest version.
  3. Go to File > Devices > Restore from Backup. If you're using Windows and don’t see a File menu, press the Alt key.
  4. Look at the date and size of each backup and pick the most relevant.
  5. Click restore and wait for the process to finish. Your device will restart and then sync with your computer. Stay connected until the sync finishes.

All the very best,
