My apps won't restore to my new iPhone 6 plus

Yesterday I upgraded to the 6plus and I restored my phone from iTunes.  None of my apps will show up on my new phone.  I can see them, but they are dark and say "waiting".  I back them up on iTunes before upgrading to my new phone, and I can see the apps in iTunes, but they will not load onto my phone.  What else can I try?  Please help.
Thanks!

I have disconnected and reconnected my phone a few times from iTunes and have tried to sync apps.  So far it hasn't worked for me.  photos, data, and most everything else has restored from iTunes backup, but apps and saved ringtones are not working.  I can see the apps on my phone (shadow only and "waiting") but I can't access them.  Oh wait, this time the sync may be working…  Doing something now.

    I just sold my iPhone 5s and waiting 4 weeks now for my iPhone 6+
    I took out my old iPhone 4 and tried to restore it from a backup i had just created a few hours ago on my 5s (iOS8) and the option was greyed out.
    I could only see backups from a year back !
    You cant restore an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1.2 from a backup created on iOS 8 !!!!
    That's so STUPID!
    iCloud syncs my contacts, calendars and reminders, but i have to setup all the rest of the settings manually! I have 7 email accounts, mix of gmail, hotrmail, yahoo, 2 exchange, others, etc. lots of personalized settings, Apps that i need to download again and arrange in folders like before, ......big hassle!!!
    It shouldn't be that tough Apple!

  • HT201269 tried to restore backup onto new iPhone 4 from old one, but only get error message (-1)??? Help please.

    Have tried over and over again. Won't restore backup onto new iPhone 4. I updated the software first, have tried wiping phone and starting fresh. Continue to get message at an error occured. Sometimes it says (-1).

    Well, the obviously solution is to use separate Apple ID's for iCloud.

  • I am trying to restore my back up on my 'new' iPhone 6 PLUS but I am unable to do this. My 'old' phone is an iPhone 5S - iOS 8.3

    When I go to select the backup that I want to restore on my new iPhone 6 PLUS it is greyed out and therefore
    will not allow me to select it. I’m not too sure why that is happening.

    The only reference I can find to 8.3.1 is for a jailbreak.  Sorry we that iOS version has not been released by Apple yet.

    It could be a developers release but either way that is not a supported iOS
    Good Luck

  • 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:
    If you need help restoring from an iCloud backup - Apple Support

  • Can I restore my info to a new iPhone 6 plus using a backup of an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.2?

    Just bought a new phone and want to import all my app settings and information. I have heard all the complaints about iPhone 4s running iOS 8 and don't want to update until I have it preinstalled on a new 6+.
    Can I restore my info to a new iPhone 6 plus using a backup of an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.2?
    or would I have to upgrade my 4S to iOS 8, backup, and then restore the new phone. I need to ensure that my 4S powers on and works so I can receive trade in credit for it (~$200), so this is worth a bit to ensure that my 4S stays functional.
    Thanks

    You can load a backup from an earlier iOS version onto a device with a later iOS version, but not the other way around.
    If you're going to do this, I'd recommend doing a backup of your 4s to your computer (not iCloud) and load the backup onto the 6+ from the computer.  You can try an iCloud backup/installation, but also do a local backup in case something goes wrong. A local backup is more comprehensive than an iCloud backup, and in my experience it loads more reliably.

  • Purchased music not able to use as ringtones after restoring to a new iPhone, how do I fix this?

    As the title says my purchased music is no longer available to use as ringtone/text tones after restoring to a new iPhone. I restored it from a iPhone 5 to another iPhone 5 after some technical problems, nothing dealing with apps or music. Can anyone help me?

    Did you make your own ringtones from your music? If so, you can do it again. This is what I used: http://www.simonblog.com/2012/12/01/itunes-11-how-to-create-free-ringtone-and-te xt-tone/

  • ITunes stopped working when restoring backup to new iPhone 6

    Hi
    I have just bought a new iPhone 6 128GB.  I backed up my iPhone 4S to my computer using iTunes 12.0.1.  When I tried to start the new iPhone 6 from the back up it restored so far, up to step 5 of 5, but when it tired to sync Apps and Music iTunes stopped working.  It has done this over 5 times at exactly the same stage.
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, turned both the phone and laptop off and back on again.  Update all of the Apps on my laptop and installed them all manually on the phone, tried syncing again... and again...  and again...
    It is now getting extremely infuriating as I have now wasted over 4 hours trying to get Apps and Music on my iPhone 6.  The reason for my the 128GB version was so I no longer need to carry and iPod on holiday as I have lots of music.  I now can't sync any music!
    Please help...

  • New iPhone 6 PLUS major glitches, SMS, iMessage, Safari and other apps.

    How come my brand new iPhone 6 PLUS keeps glitching?
    I will open Messages and regardless if its an iMessage or not it will freeze within 15 seconds when it unfreezes it will catch up but the entire message will be incorrect. Every second or third time i message it will freeze and 8-12 seconds later it will crash the message app.
    Also while using the phone in normal operation the iPhone will freeze (While scrolling usually) the entire touch digitiser will become inoperative.
    I was told by Apple I have to Erase the entire phone and "Set up as a NEW PHONE" - Sorry Apple but thats never going to happen,  how about you fix the software issue before you utter such ridiculous words to anyone else!
    Also when i select a contact to message the contacts name will appear at the top of the screen (as you would expect) but only the last message you sent will be on the screen the entire thread will disappear. 5-10 seconds later they will appear and if you leave the phone alone or continue typing about 45-90 seconds later it happens again.
    iPhone is restoring numbers I deleted with the contacts name however when you select the name to message - BOOM the name is gone and its just the number.
    All my Apps freeze then crash its a nightmare it doesn't matter how many updates I do or the amount of restores.
    Has anyone else found this?  Because I think I found a solution Ill post it below...

    So there is another thread on the forum about apps crashing and freezing on the iPhone 6 Plus.
    The answer that fixed the problem involved turning off the Speak Page and Speech settings with in accessibility settings....
    SETTINGS/ ACCESSIBILITY/ SPEECH
    I turned off - Speak Selection and Speak Screens and made sure the rest were off.
    I also turned off but you may not need to:
    Hearing Aid Mode
    Hope this helps someone else in the same position...

    I bought an iPhone 4 from a youngster who had put his own Apple ID on it but could not remember the password. I backed it up yesterday and restored to my new iPhone and it copied the Apple ID across too. Now I have 2 phones with it on. Anything I do?

    that must be really annoying !!
    so this is what you call
    FIND MY IPHONE ACTIVATION LOCK Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
    when you start using iCloud on any iOS device and enable find my iPhone, this prevents  a new user from using it, and also prevents anyone from using the phone
    as it is locked to previous owners account ,this is also the case if when a phone is lost or stolen.
    the only way around this is to have the previous owner reset their apple id by going to  @ applied.apple.com
    if they are unable to do this, then the only other way around this is to have the previous owner get  a copy of their original receipt and call apple support who can then lift this lock if they get a copy of the receipt
    unfortunately there is no quick fix -> the below link explains what you should do before you sell or give away an iPhone

    If you can't restore from your backup you could try 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor to see if you could extract your notes from the backup.
