Can't restore my iCloud backup after iOS 8.0.2 (or 8 too) update

I have a iPad 3 Cellular.
I installed iOS 8.0.2 (or 8 too) when I restore my iCloud backup It's freeze in the end every time. For my iPad work with backup I need downgrade to iOS 7.1.2 and restore my iCloud backup.
Do you know what I need to do to fix it?

  • 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.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Note that iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    Symptoms
    When restoring an iOS backup to a iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that is not using the latest version of iOS, you may see the following behavior:
    You cannot see or select the most recent backup from the list of available backups in iTunes or iCloud.
    iTunes displays the alert "The backup [name] cannot be restored to this [iOS device] because the software on the [iOS device] is too old."
    iTunes displays the alert "No backups available."
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings.  My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

    I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings.  My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

    Hi, kformagg
    I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
    It worked very well.

  • Anyway to restore from iCloud backup after initial setup?

    I purchased a new 5s today - my old 4s was backed up to iCloud - the store moved my contacts but I guess they skipped the cloud restore part so I don't have any of my apps - is there anyway to restore from cloud backup after initial setup?  I think I can reset it but not sure how to do it and I'm afraid of what it will delete if I reset - please help - I could reload my apps but it won't keep my data right? Thanks

    You should check to make sure that your contacts/information is in your iCloud by logging into iCloud.com. You can also plug your device into iTunes and check when the most recent iCloud backup was before restoring from it.
    If your information is there, then you can go through the activation process again pretty easily by going into Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Then you can just restore from your iCloud backup.

  • ICloud backups after iOS 6.1 update

    I updated iOS 6.1 on my iPad 2, it restored my iPad to a brand new tablet. I lost 2years worth of information. There is some pictures still there from about 2 weeks ago but everything, I mean, EVERYTHING else is gone, my life is gone. I thought my info was backed up in iCloud. Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help? I was set up for automatic backups.

    You're welcome.  To restore to an iCloud backup on a device that has already been set up you have to erase it and go back through the setup screens again.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go back through the setup screens on your iPad, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  You might want to make sure it's connected to your charge as this will take some time to finish.

  • Can I restore an iCloud backup from a different iOs version?

    I have like all these backups from previous iPhones. My question is: Can I restore a backup of these on any iOS version or do I need to have the same iOS version that i had on those iPhones?

    You can restore the backups to a device running the same or a newer iOS version, but not an older one. For example, if a backup was made from iOS 8.2, it can be restored to a device running 8.2 or 8.3, but not 8.1.3 or earlier.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • HT1766 can I restore an icloud backup that i made months ago?

    Hi Guys, I am looking for a whatsapp chat history that I had on my phone about 3 months ago.  My iPhone 4S was being backed up to iCloud then, so I am wondering if I can view or restore this backup that I made on iCloud to see the history.  When I restore my iPhone, it only shows the last 3 most recent backups from a couple of days ago.
    Thanks,
    Lola HK

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    When you create an iCloud backup, in most of the cases, the old one is overwritten and iCloud keeps the three latest backups, so the old ones were overwritten or deleted

  • Can I restore an icloud backup of photos to another device

    I had an iPhone 5 which was associated with one apple ID.  The last backup was the day before I purchased the iPhone 5s.  The new phone is associated with another Apple ID and backs up to the iCloud under the new Apple ID.  Can I retrieve the information from the old iPhone 5 by backing it up to a spare iPhone 4 so I can retrieve photos from it?  Or is there a way to get the photos from the iCloud backup to my Mac?

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to get the photos of your backup directly to your Mac, but it is a good idea to use your old iPhone 4 to retreive your photos from the backup by restoring your iPhone 4.

  • HT4859 how can i restore files from backup after i reset my ipod touch?

    I rebooted my ipod touch how can i restore my back up files

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Rebooting your device is not the same as restoring it, to restore a device go to settings > general > reset > erase all contents and settings. Once you do this you will then be given the option to restore it from a backup or as a new iPod.

  • Problems with iCloud backup after iOS 7 update

    After I installed iOS 7.0 my iPad mini every time it tries to backup to iCloud it asks for my iCloud password and I submit it every time and then it works fine. How can I get it to remeber it?

    I have the same problem :(
    I backed up my iphone 4S - which had been ugpraded to IOS6 - and when i restored to my Iphone 5 -- my shortcut keys had stopped working!
    Turning it off - and back on again makes shortcuts work - but only for so long
    All my shortcuts have been copied over correctly.

  • Can't restore Time Machine backup after iMAC (Lion) Refresh

    I recently did a refresh of my iMAC with OSX Lion. I have been using time capsule to back up my iMAC as well as my Mac Mini for the last 6 months with what I perceived to be no issues.
    When I got to the part in the MAC start up to restore from backup it couldn't seem to find the iMAC backup, only the Mac Mini backup so I skipped that part. I then tried to use Migration Assistant later and the same thing, I couldn't find it. I used finder to locate the Time Capsule and was able to find the backup, but when I double clicked on it said "Mac OS X can't repair the disk "Time Machine Backups". you can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to the files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can".
    Even though it said that it open a new finder window and I was able to find the backups and I proceed to copy of the files over. All seemed well until I opened iPhoto and it wouldn't open (just hung). I did a library restore/repair by clicking Option + Command when opening and after it ran iPhoto opened. When I browsed around though some recent pics that I uploaded either weren't there or corrupted and all my faces were gone.
    I did a fresh install again and tried all over and the same thing happened. Any help on getting back my old backup? Seems to be corrupted or something, but I'm not sure.
    See previous post before this... I was told to post my problem here - as I originally posted on the iPhoto forum before I realized I had a time machine / capsule problem.

    Hi there,
    I had a look through and I tried to do option A5 - which is repair or verify disk. I dragged the sparebundle for the mackup to disk utility and after trying to do a repair I got the message "disk utility stopped repairing "Time Machine backups".
    Does this mean that my backup is corrupted and useless for a restore with time machine?
    Yes. 
    And that also means copying via the Finder may not get everything.  Corrupted is corrupted.
    Assuming you copied from the most recent backup, you might want to try copying just the iPhoto Library from an earlier one -- that might not be damaged.  If you have room, put it somewhere else, like your desktop.  Or if you have an external HD, that would work.
