iPhone 5 wont restore from iPhone 4S backup! Help!!

[snakesayan]

Just as the title says, when i tried to restore from a previous backup a pop up came up and says "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the iPhone refused the request."

What sucks is that you bumped your post.

Bumps. Posts that bring a thread to the top of the New Posts list but add no content to the thread (bumps) are not permitted. This applies not only to posts that say "bump" but to those with the intent to bump, e.g. posts saying "anyone?" or the equivalent. See why and how to avoid bumping.

Set it up as a new phone. Problem solved.

First make sure you create a full, special backup of your 4S. I've learned that the hard way and ended up going to tape for a file.

Your iPhone 5 may be refusing a backup, but that's not what you're trying to do. If it's being difficult, erase all content and settings, set it up on-screen, then plug it into iTunes. When asked, restore from backup and hopefully you'll be good to go.
