Q: iPhone restore corrupted. How to extract info from iPad/MBP?

Hi all,

For some reason, my iPhone 6 (iOS 10) died yesterday and wouldn't power up, so I thought I'd try to restore it from a backup on my MBP on MacOS Sierra. Unfortunately iTunes informed me that the most recent (and only) backup was corrupted.

I did have my iPad backed up, so ultimately i chose to restore my iPhone with that, then connected to iCloud to get my contacts, photos, etc.

 

Luckily the iPhone did eventually power up but a few things are not really ideal...

1) All my old iMessages and SMS are still on my iPad and MBP. Is the any way to get these back onto my iPhone?

2) Several of my email inbox settings that I'd also setup on my phone are also gone

 

Are there are things that I'm potentially missing out on, that might have been on my previous backup?

 

Thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 10, null
