Ipod reset to old setting with old icloud ID. How do I reset it to use new login for icloud and then restore from icloud backup

My upgrade to iOS 8 failed and I had to restore my iPad from an old backup (since restoring from cloud wasn't given as an option).
Now the iPad has my old iCloud account configured instead of the one I've been using for the past year or so. How do I:
1. Get the iPad to use the correct iCloud account?
2. Restore the iPad from an iCloud backup?
Everytime I try to log out of iCloud it prompts me for the password on the old account to allow me to turn off "Find my iPad". I don't think that account even exists anymore. I tried to reset the password on the old account (using an old email address), but the password email never arrives.
Help!

Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

My new iphone 6 plus has been restoring from iCloud backup for days. I do not have all my apps or music yet

my new iphone 6 plus has been restoring from iCloud backup for days. I do not have all my apps or music yet. How do I fix it?

Hello Bernharp,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 6 Plus is taking a long time to restore from an iCloud backup. I can understand why you'd be concerned after several days of waiting.
This might happen if your backup contains a lot of content such as pictures or your Wi-Fi connection isn't consistent.
If the restore still hasn't completed, take a look at the information in the "Restoring my device from an iCloud backup is taking a long time" and "A message says restore incomplete or some items could not be restored" sections of this Support article:

I have just updated my hard drive in my 15" MBP. I then loaded lion over Internet and then restored from my old HD. Now the MBP will not boot! Have I stuffed it?

HI, help! I have just replaced my hard rive in my 15" MBP.I have loaded lion back via Internet . I then restored from my old hard drive. Now the MBP won't boot, where as before I restored it was operating perfectly just with out my data only icloud data. Can I erase, my restore? Will I ever see my data again?

What do you see on the screen when it doesn't boot??
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
or
Folder with question mark issue?
How did you restore from your old hard drive?
Technically all that was needed was to use Migration Assistant on the fresh OS X install to migrate users accounts and programs to the new machine.
You can use a SATA to USB adapter to connect the old drive if you want to go that way and start over with a fresh install again on the new drive.

I want to reset my iPhone then restore from a backup...

Hello again Apple community.
I have an iPhone 5 and I want to reset it then restore it from a backup. I go to Settings -> General -> Erase all Content and Settings. I then enter my passcode, press Erase iPhone, and then press Erase iPhone on the confirmation screen. However, when I do that it tells me to enter my Apple ID password to erase the iPhone "and remove it from your account." The thing is, I'm not sure I want to do this because if I do, I'm afraid that it'll delete all of the purchases (apps, music, etc.) from my account and I will have to buy EVERYTHING again. Does anyone know if it'll delete all of my purchases or, better yet, does anyone know how to bypass this? I never remember this happening when I had iOS 6. I do have it backed up to my MacBook Pro.

Want to use new laptop for iPhone 5, but will iPhone 4 backup on old pc transfer ok?

I'm about to set up my new iPhone 5, but I want to set it up on a new pc, not the one I previously used for my iPhone 4. I've done a backup of my iPhone 4 with the old pc, but want to plug the new one into my new laptop. Will everything still transfer? Is there anything else I need to do/think about before registering it?

You can restore the iPhone from backup on the older computer, then transfer content to the new computer.
You can also just move the backup to the new computer and move the iTunes library to the new computer. Then you're new computer will have all the info that was on the older computer.

Can I recover text messages from an old Iphone that has now been wiped? Some of my messages got lost in between the process of turning my old phone in for a new one-which I have since restored from a backup a few days old

In the process of exchanging my defunct Iphone for a new one, some important text messages were lost. The messages obviously did not transfer over to my new phone as I had to restore my new phone from a backup performed a few days ago. Is there a special trick that will allow me to somehow enter my cell number, since it is still the same, in order to recover texts that were received in between wiping my old phone and getting a new one?

You can use an iPhone file explorer such as TouchCopy to get the messages off the old phone. But you can't put them on the new phone as messages. You could put them in a pdf file that you could read on the new phone.
Normally when you get a new phone the first thing you should do is transfer the contents of the old phone to it (Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support)). Then the problem does not arise. You are even prompted to do this when you activate the new phone. Once you have started using the new phone without doing this it is too late.

Failure with cloning database structure and then restore from source db

Hello, dear experts!
I am trying to duplicate a database.
First step was to use the DBCA to create a template. Because there is no downtime possible, I only created a template of the structure without user schema and without objects.
At another destination I used this template to create a new database "CLON".
This worked successful. The database is up and running. (But quite empty).
Then I transferred the latest full backup of my source database to the new database. I have the same structure at the destiantion as at the
source.
Now I want to use rman restore to build up the clone with this backup. Therefore I start RMAN and connect to the target without catalog.
"RMAN> restore database;"
leads to:
Starten restore um 27.09.07

To me this looks as if RMAN does not identify the/any backup.
What has to be done to solve the problem?
Thank you in advance,
Hergen.

Hi, I assume that by clone you mean a duplicate of the DB including ALL tablespaces and not just a few right? YOu want to also rename the DB according to what I read.
As a note, your new database does not see the backups because you do not connect to the catalog, and you have no backup info as a result.
Correct me if I am wrong if I misundestand your situation:
First if you want to duplicate, you do not need to create an empty DB. Just create an new instance without any controlfiles or datafiles. Then you restore your rman backup
You could perhaps adapt this procedure I have used recently to clone databases with RMAN backups: You just need RMAN backups, taken as hot backups is fine. You also need the controlfile autobackup from RMAN. If you do not want to use the catalog, you can use the controlfile as catalog, and register the backup info to the controlfile, then restore.
Here is the procedure:
RMAN RESTORE DB FROM COMPLETE LOSS (without use of catalog)
1-     Install oracle db home and patch.
Note: As much as possible, patch to the same version of the DB to be restored. If you do not, you should patch to a later release (do not do this if at all possible, as problems may occur). After opening with reset logs, you will have to startup with the upgrade option and run the cat upgrade script to update the DB to the current patchset.
2-     Install or configure an instance on the desired node. It is not necessary to create a database.
a.     Run oradim to create the instance.
Oradim –new –SID sid –SYSPWD sysdbapass –STARTMODE manual|automatic –PFILE ‘….path to pfile….\initsid.ora’
NOTE: The pfile is optional, required if you do not use a spfile
b.     Create and configure a listener, as rman requires oracle net connectivity.
i.     Use oracle utilities to create listener.
ii.     Use oracle utilities to configure listener to register the instance just created. (or manually edit the listener.ora file).
c.     Configure a tnsnames.ora file so that rman can reach the database through the listener.
d.     Create all directories for datafiles, admin, redologs, archive, flash_recovery_area etc if required.
3-     Create a pfile or get one (ideally the backups should include it).
a.     Change paths in the pfile to reflect new file structure. Also change any settings that are relevant.
Note: if using an spfile, then the rman controlfile autobackup will have it. In that case startup in nomount, start RMAN after setting ORACLE_SID=sid, with ‘RMAN target / NOCATALOG.
Run this in rman
RUN {
SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO ‘………………..\CONTROL_%F’;
RESTORE SPFILE TO PFILE ‘………\initsid.ora’ FROM AUTOBACKUP;
SHUTDOWN ABORT;
NOTE:
-     If you do not have a specific archive file location (archivelog mode only) the flash recovery area size may need to be increased, depending on the number of archive files to recover.
-     If restoring to a different instance (want to restore an old backup to a different db name, set the db_name in the pfile the same as the db name in the backups. You can rename the db later.
4-     Get the backups desired to restore the DB, and make them available to the node where the restore is to be done.
5-     Startup the database in nomount mode. Startup the service is necessary, then startup the database in nomount mode: specify the pfile location if not in a standard location.
‘STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=’……\initsid.ora’’;
6-     Get DB id from controlfile autobackup. Get the most recent controlfile autobackups from the backup files, and find the database id. Below is an example
# CONTROL_c-XXXXXXXXXX-YYYYMMDD-ZZ
# XXXXXXXXXX IS THE DBID
7-     START RMAN after setting ORACLE_SID=sid, with ‘RMAN target / NOCATALOG’.
8-     SET DBID. Get the dbid from above. Run ‘SET DBID XXXXXXXXXXXX;’
9-     Restore controlfile
RUN {
SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '… \CONTROL_%F';
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
NOTE: If restoring old files, then you must add MAXDAYS=xxx to the restore controlfile command, so that it will find the desired file. Default is 7 days. (explaining why it can’t find older then 7 days).
10-     Catalog backup files. It is probable that the backup files restored will be in a different location once restored (applicable to disk backups). You need to catalog them in RMAN so that RMAN knows about them. List all backup files and run these commands for each backup and controlfile autobackup:
‘CATALOG BACKUPPIECE ….\CONTROL_C-310452700-20070918-01';’
‘CATALOG BACKUPPIECE …\BACKUP_HEIS8FIK_1_1';
NOTES: If the backups are in the same location as they have always been, then a recatalog is not necessary, as the control file has the right backup files information.
If the backups were restored to a different location, then a recatalog must be done so that RMAN can find them. If the regular location of backups is not available, then rman needs to be updated to reflect that. In that case run these commands:
     CROSSCHECK BACKUPS;
     DELETE EXPIRED BACKUP;
     CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
     DELETE EXPIRED ARCHIVELOG ALL;
If this is test restore (to test disaster recovery for example), likely all the backups are still there, but it is desired to use the restored backup files only. RMAN needs to be updated to reflect that the regular backups do not exist. Make the regular backup files unavailable to RMAN (such are renaming a directory, or preventing access through security), and then run the above commands.
11-     Find the datafile names and numbers. This is only required if datafiles are in a different location on the database to be restored.
Using SQLPlus, set the oracle_sid, then run sqlplus / ;
Run the following command
     Select file# as “file/grp#’, name from v$datafile; (for datafiles).
     Select group#, member from v$logfile. (for redologs)
12-     Restore the database
(use only if all datafile locations are the same!)
RUN
# allocate a channel to disk
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE DISK MAXPIECESIZE 2 G FORMAT '…path…\BACKUP_%U';
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
(use if datafiles are not in the same location)
RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT ‘…\BACKUP_%U';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO ‘….\SYSTEM01.DBF';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO '…\UNDOTBS01.DBF';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 3 TO '…\SYSAUX01.DBF';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 4 TO '…\USERS01.DBF';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 5 TO '…\TOOLS_01.DBF ';
# add other tablespace locations here.
# We need to tell the controlfile the new location for the redologs
SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE ''…\REDO01.LOG'' TO      ''…\REDO01.LOG''";
SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE ''…\REDO02.LOG'' TO      ''…\REDO02.LOG''";
SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE ''…\REDO03.LOG'' TO      ''…\REDO03.LOG''";
RESTORE DATABASE;
# we need to tell the controlfile the location of the new datafiles.
SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
RECOVER DATABASE;
13-     Reset the logs. ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
NOTE: If the oracle home is of a newer revision then the database, the open resetlogs will generate an error. In that case open the database with the upgrade option and then run the catalog upgrade as per patch instructions.
14-     Create a temporary tablespace. The system thinks it has a temp tablespace, but it needs to be recreated
a.     Create another temp tablespace (modify as needed).
     CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp2
          TEMPFILE '......\temp02.dbf' SIZE 128M REUSE
          AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 16M MAXSIZE unlimited
          EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1M;
b.     Point the server to the new file
ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp2;
c.     Delete the missing one:
          DROP TABLESPACE temp INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;
d.     RECREATE THE temp tablespace;
          CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
               TEMPFILE 'd:\......\temp_01.dbf' SIZE 128M REUSE
          AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 16M MAXSIZE unlimited
          EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1M;
e.     Change system default tablespace again to temp:
          ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
f.     Delete the transition temp tablespace temp2:
DROP TABLESPACE temp2 INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;
15-     Rename the database if the restored database name needs to change.
Use the nid utility to rename the db. IMPORTANT: the temporary tablespace needs to exist for this to work, or the db rename will fail and a restore will have to be done.
Use :
-     Shutdown database in immediate mode.
-     Startup in nomount.
-     Open command prompt.
-     set oracle_sid = sid
-     nid sys/pass dbname=newname logfile=….\logfile.txt
-     shutdown the db (if required)
-     Change the dbname in the pfile or spfile to the new dbname
-     Create a new password file:
o     Orapwd file=….. password=…
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you rename a DB, your existing backups will not be valid, do backups of the newly renamed db!!!
16-     Open the database and test.
NOTE: Whenever you open with resetlogs, YOU MUST BACKUP YOUR DATABASE. Your old backups can only be used to restore the old DB.
I hope this helps.

Will LaCie D2 QUADRA with firewire restore my apps back onto my MacBook Pro if I upgrade to Lion and then restore from the external drive?

I ordered the disk to update to Snow Leopard. Did that so I could get the App Store. Did that so I could download Lion. After I installed Lion my MacBook is super sluggish. Takes like 6 seconds just to open a drop-down menu in Finder.
I have been backing up. Will LaCie D2 QUADRA with firewire restore my apps back onto my MacBook Pro if wipe my drive using the USB Lion OS stick (which I think I'll have to buy even though I downloaded the new OS online)? I have been plugging my laptop into the Lacie drive set on "auto" and it's been working great.
One Genius said yes "you will get everything back" but my Mac buddy says "say goodbye to most of your apps". Then a guy at the university I asked "do you have a disk image". And I said "what the **** is a disk image?".
Is the problem that I installed an OS on top of new OS without wiping the drive? Or, is my MacBook Pro too old? Do I need to buy a new one?

Any help?

SA will indeed transfer accounts, files and apps at first start. Can do so even faster if you clone the internal HDD onto the external (just split into a partition large enough to contain it) and then use it as the source. Probably faster than Time Machine too. The safest and quickest way to do a disk image or clone is using CarbonCopyCloner (free), and it will preserve the Lion Recovery Partition too.
Since you'll have to re--download the Lion installer again, note that you can concoct your very own Lion Installer USB Stick with it prior to reinstalling and not have to pay for the Apple-branded version. See Kappy's tutorial: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3786371?tstart=0
As for the sluggishness, I believe that a great part of the cause is that you only have 2GB RAM. Don't know if your Mac can take more but try at least to get to 4GB, if not 8GB. Should attempt this before messing with the reinstall, as this may get you what you want.

New ipod won't restore from icloud

If I set up my ipod as new, can I still restore from icloud?
I purchased a new ipod touch yesterday, and in the course of setting it up, it will not restore from icloud, so I thought I might be able to set it up as new and still restore from icloud once I got it set up, is this correct? I would update from itunes, but my computer's operating system won't allow me to update to the newest version of itunes, so the ipod and computer won't "talk" to each other.

Do other devices now connect to the router OK?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router

- Try on another network as Apple recommended.

HT201269 how do i restore from iCloud on new phone?

I have a new 4s that I got from the AT&T store.
They got me up and running by getting my contacts downloaded.
Now I've hooked up to iPhone to restore from iCloud.
Do I want to restore or do I want to back up?
I can't figure out how to get my music to migrate to my new phone.
I have backed up my old phone to the cloud.
I don't seem to be getting the automatic prompts all the articles talk about and I think it's because at the store they only did contacts.

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"
