Can't restore from iCloud - verification error or stuck on estimating time remaining.

From yesterday 4PM I try to restore my iPhone from iCloud. I check icloud system status - everything is fine there.
Problem messages:
* Verification Error
* Stuck on estimating time
* Can't connect
I don't know what to do. All websites and services work fine on my 100Mb connection. So I guess this is an iCloud problem.
iOS 8.1.2/iPhone 4S

This is more of an Apple ID problem than an iCloud problem. If you choose Restore from iCloud Backup and entered your iCloud ID this obviously shouldn't have happened. If your replacement phone is under warranty, contact Apple support here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/. If not, try contacting iTunes store support as they frequently deal with Apple ID problems. You can reach them by email here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

You dont have any data on your phone yet right?
If you dont connect your device to the computer and
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
after that click okay when it says itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. Then click restore
after that try again

You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone. If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so. Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

I have a loan phone but I can't restore from iCloud as the software isn't up to date on the loan phone

I have just got home from the apple shop where I gave my phone in to be sent off for the sleep awake button repair. I have a loan phone from the shop but I've just found that the software isn't up to date like my phone is and so can't update from iCloud.
Is there any way I can get round this at all?

Icloud stuck on estimating time remaining

I have yet to be able to backup to iCloud. Whenever I click on backup now, it goes to the 'estimating time remaining' /backing up spinning hourglass and stays there until i exit out. It will do that for hours.
iPhone 4, OS5, Plugged in to the wall and confirmation of charging icon, wi-fi up and running correctly, plenty of iCloud space available.
Help. thanks.

i would probably try forgetting your wifi network and rejoining. that error is almost always due to a bad wifi connection. you can, in fact, be connected to your wifi network, but if your phone isn't connected to the intranet, you're not going to get any information to transfer. you can also test my theory by temporarily turning off cellular data, then trying to get on the internet on your phone. if you're connected correctly to your intranet, the page won't load

Can I restore from iCloud backup to another device?

My iPod touch 4G logic board snapped in half after soldering it. If I buy a new iPod touch 4G or repalce the logic board can I restore all my purchases to that device or to that new logic board?
Do you also know where can I purchase a 4th generation logic board for a cheap price? My friend is planning on buying me a logic board of ebay for a cheap price, but there's no guarantee that he'll get it because he's up against a bot. Hopefully it isn't a bot.

- Yes you can restore you replacement iPod from the iCloud backup of the old i{Pod. Just restore via wifi from the backup and all the iTunes purchases and spme other stuff will be retored to the replacement iPod. You will have to reenter passwords and other keychain items since those are only restored to the same device.
- That is how I set up my new iPhone 4S. I restored it at the Apple store via wifi from my 4G iPod touch. No problems.
- I know of no good places for replacement parts.

Can't restore from iCloud with iPhone (iOS 6.0.1) if backup was made using iOS 6.1

I lost my iPhone, got a new one then I was grateful a was using iCloud but...
iOS 6.0.1 won't allow me to restore my last backup because it was made using ios 6.1.
There is not way to select this backup. Luckily for me, there is still a old backup made using iOS 6.0.1.
So I reconfigured the iPhone as a new phone, updated the software to 6.1.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
Unfortunately, in order to restore a backup from the cloud, I had to reset the phone. So It went back to iOS 6.0.1
Is there a different way to retrieve a backup from iCloud?

If you plug it into a computer to install the update and then the backup, it should work. (At least, it did with my 4th Gen iTouch).

How can I restore from icloud backup after activating replacement phone as new

I activated a replacement iphone 5. When I tried to restore from my iCloud backup, it said the os of the backup was not compatible with the replacement phone os so I chose the option to activate as a new phone. (Old phone was on 7 - replacement phone was sent to me with an earlier os).
Is there any way to restore my settings from my last iCloud backup?

Yeah - guess you're right. It just took me hours to figure out what to do/not do. New to iphones and never had to restore before. Maybe Apple could at least include the very simple instructions wjosten posted. Would have saved me a lot of stress and time....
Apple does provide instructions.

HT4859 how to restore from icloud backup

how can i restore from icloud backup....my manual back up in itunes keeps giving me a blank device w/factory apps

Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have any data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.
