IOS 14 arrives and new iPhone and iPad arrive, and the usual doubts begin: Use the backup? We show you how to leave your iPhone like new, or set up a new iPhone without using backup but recovering all data from iCloud.
When a new version of iOS arrives, or we have bought a new iPhone or iPad, the question always appears of what to do better: do we configure the new iPhone using the backup of our old iPhone? Do we install iOS 14 on the version we already have? Do we restore as new and use our backup? Using the backup is a completely valid option on many occasions, but there are times when we want to leave our device as "new", either because we have our storage practically full, because the battery does not last as long as we would like or we have a fault we want to get rid of. It is possible to leave our iPhone "clean" with the new version of iOS, or configure our new iPhone from scratch, but recovering all the data that the applications have saved in iCloud without having to use the backup at all.
In this video we explain step by step how we can do it, and most importantly, how we can make sure that we are not going to lose our data. Are you worried about losing your application data? WhatsApp conversations? Activity achievements? Well you shouldn't, because everything is stored in iCloud independently of the backup, and we can make the applications recover that data and at the same time have a completely new iPhone or iPad, without the garbage that you have accumulated during the last months or years. Step by step everything is explained in this video that I hope you find useful and help you to enjoy your iPhone again in all its splendor.
You can download the IPSW from this link.
If we do this process and we have an apple watch, we have to unlink it first?
Yes it is
And for those of us who don't have enough iCloud to copy everything? Photos for example, on my iPhone I have photos from 2010 that I would not want to lose or have to manually upload again. In addition to the albums, the memories generated, the albums created automatically recognizing faces, etc. Or the apps that do not save in iCloud, that only save locally ...
If they are not in iCloud you must use backup on your computer
With this the information that is in "Notes" can be recovered?
I have had to pull the iCloud backup if not doing a clean restore without pulling the backup, everything that I had in notes does not appear, first I have done restoring without a copy and nothing that I had in appears Notes I have returned to restore and restore from the iCloud backup and that is how the notes have appeared if it does not work.
As I indicated at the beginning of the video, you must verify that you have the data in iCloud, in your case, that the Notes app is activated in iCloud. Notes are restored without issue in this case.
If you have Notes enabled in iCloud, yes.
Good morning again, the notes application if I have it activated in iCloud but if the restoration is done as indicated in the video, the notes application when pressing the icon comes out as if you would use it for the first time, without any data that it had in notes, I have had to restore it again and pull the backup to recover data from notes, made twice this morning and it happens as I indicate, iPhone X.
Have you tried to leave it for a while so that everything is synchronizing little by little? Because depending on your internet connection it can take several hours until you get everything back. I can confirm that Notes syncs in iCloud without problems, I have been doing it for several years and I have my notes intact.
Good afternoon, because as I indicated it is what happens to me, and it is not the first time that this happens to me, because my intention was to do it with clean restoration, when going from iOS 13 to iOS 14 but I had to restore it as new but to recover the data of notes I had to pull the copy of iCloud, wait I have not done as much as you say but once to restore, put all the data, wifi, configure Face ... etc, and see everything installed, I enter notes and as I mention empty, press the icon and there is nothing as if I started with the application for the first time, and it is not my first iPhone because I started with the 3G, 4 S, etc. until I stopped at the iPhone X, if I knew for sure that it recovered all my notes, I would do it again but I can't decide, I don't think it's because the notes I have are protected with the Face ... I correct when I need to without problem, and as I mentioned in iCloud I have it activated.
Hello, dear friends, I have done all the restore operation, a question arises when it says that the IPSW is signed, does it mean that it is the original apple loaded with its servers? many thanks for everything
