what are you talking about?????????Oh, you mean as a backup in iTunes? Yeah, that doesn't work. You need to manually put them all back in.
what are you talking about?????????
you can restore information two ways
1) when the iphone restore is complete, it will ask you if you want to restore data from a backup or set up as a new iphone. restoring from backup will restore contacts, calendar, settings, photos (including ones in camera roll) etc
2) restore from data saved on the mac, for example, address book contacts, iphoto photos etc
