[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1623695, member: 46727"] Yes, to restore photos and contacts they must be backed up first. However, if you make a backup and then restore that backup after you reset your iPhone, you're going to be back to where you started from as all data will be recovered. If you must maintain your contacts list and you are not using iCloud, you had better write them down somewhere first. With a newer Mac and using iCloud, contacts are automatically synced to your iPhone and iPad. But since you're not using iCloud and your Mac is still running Leopard, nothing is going to sync. No one without having access to your Apple ID, is going to be able to gain access to your data. Your Apple ID and password should be kept confidential, and make sure you assign a passcode to your iPhone 5s and use fingerprint ID. [/QUOTE]
