iPod Touch restore from iPhone backup

I'm betting that Apple's backup and restore function wont allow this. For example, what will it do when trying to restore your phone history or data for apps that are native to the iPhone but not on the touch?

You're better off just syncing all of your data (contacts, etc) in iTunes then syncing it to the iPod. Also, worthless "other" data wont get mixed into your iPod.

 

Not true. I restored an iPod touch 5 fron an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1. All apps and folders restored from the iPhone. I've not experience any problems.

 

You can restore any iOS device from any other iOS device as long as the firmware on the device you're restoring to is equal to or newer than the one the backup was made with.

 

where you available to retreive everything and most importantly for me would be the messages, will i be able to restore messages and imessages that i had on my iphone into my ipod touch 5? thanks!

 

I think if you had enabled iMessages on your phone, those will get transferred. Not sure about normal texts though.

 

I want to know if normal texts will get transferred. Anyone here have tried this and see if it works?

 

I did the same thing. I used an iPhone 5 backup and restored it to my iPod touch 5.
