Alex, I'll add to the helpful posts from Sieghard, Anna, Christopher, and others already submitted on this thread. Make sure you sync your phone to your computer using iTunes to get all the apps downloaded to your phone on your computer so that the versions your now running will be restored to your new phone from the computer. As Sieghard has mentioned, if you don't do this sync, only the latest versions of each app will be restored from the online Apps Store.
After you've synced your iPhone to your computer in iTunes, you can go to your device in iTunes while it's connected to the computer and place focus on the Apps button to review all the apps that are in your iTunes library. Those that are installed will have a remove button next to them and those that have been uninstalled will have an install button next to them. This is so you can use iTunes to delete or reinstall apps you've acquired. I'm assuming that when you do your restore, only apps that are installed on your phone will be restored but I suspect both iTunes and the phone will have some sort of flag marking the uninstalled apps should you later decide to install them again. Be sure to do the sync with iTunes to get all your apps properly backed up to your computer. Don't make the mistake I did when advising a friend to backup with iTunes before switching to iOS 7. I mistakenly thought just doing a backup with iTunes would capture all the app info to the computer. However, we did not sync her computer and when we had to restore from the iTunes backup, none of her apps were restored from the computer and she was running many older versions. She had to reinstall from the Apps Center which takes much longer, only grabs the latest versions, and can be very tedious depending on the number of apps on your device. Also, although you can select what you specifically want to sync in the music, Tones, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, etc. categories, there is no such filtering selection for apps so they all get transferred when syncing. Good luck in getting everything to your computer and in having a successful restore.

The backup grabs information from the phone that isn't synced. When you restore the phone, if you want everything back on it then the restore is a two part process. First, the backup is restored to the phone and the second part of the process is that your music, apps and other data are synced to the phone.

Otherwise, if an app is no longer in the app store, you won't have access to it when you restore from a backup. Before you do the backup, go to the File menu, choose Devices, then Transfer Purchases. Then during the backup, if it still says there are apps on your phone that aren't on the computer, choose the option that allows the apps to be copied to your computer. > > Best, > Anna > > > On Aug 26, 2014, at 8:47 PM, Alex Hall <mehg...@icloud.com> wrote: > >> I'll ask here, as this seems a better thread for it. I went to do this encrypted backup today and got two warnings, the first about some apps not being in my library and the second about some purchases not being transferred. In both cases I pressed enter, but I still don't know what happened and why those alerts appeared. Why would iTunes care if I don't put iOS apps on a Mac that can't do anything with them? Why does it want to store copies of purchases, if I don't want those purchases on my computer? Most importantly, though: can I trust that my backup actually contains all my data? Right now I have no idea, because I don't know if those warnings meant that some of my apps or data did not get backed up. >> On Aug 26, 2014, at 8:49 PM, Jonathan Mosen <jmo...@mosen.org> wrote: >> >>> Hi Keith, yes, the setting sticks until you change it back.

An encrypted backup is the only way to keep the keychain. Not encrypting your backup will lose certain data, such as passwords. If the app is backing up those settings separately to the iCloud keychain, then they'll be preserved that way, but there's no guarantee all apps one has will be doing this. >>>> Jonathan Mosen >>>> Mosen Consulting >>>> Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training >>>> http://Mosen.org >>>> >>>> On 23/08/2014, at 6:15 am, M.
