Apps not downloading from Icloud backup to my iphone 4s

I had to get a replcement Iphone 4s and the apps will not copy from Icloud or from Itunes they are stuck on "waiting" I can not seem to get them to start loading again.

It only installs 1 at a time. They all will say waiting except for 1, that should say loading. You don't see that?

New photo app not downloading from iCloud

For some reason mid way through the month my photos in my photo stream stopped syncing to my Mac Book Pro since i installed the new photo app. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks!

Lots of issues about this one! I have uploaded 227 a whole week. Partly due to local broadband speeds and I suspect pressure on servers in USA. It sees the whole world is uploading at once - perhaps because Apple launched photos!
The advice I got from Apple was just to wait a couple of weeks for things to settle down.
Keep turning off the upload each day if it affects broadband speeds.
To address your specific question I thought mine had also stuck as nothing appeared to happen for days - then a few were uploaded.

Hello, Anita.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup. This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6. Try going through the steps in the article below.
iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.

TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
Hope this helps.

HT203167 iTunes Extras Not Downloading from iCloud

I purchased the Lord of the Rings bundle extended version with iTunes extras (3 movies). I had to delete the movies and the extras from my computer temporarily. When I reinstalled them from the Cloud, the movies downloaded fine. But, the iTunes extras that came with the movies did not download again at all. What do I do? I paid for all of it.

Happily I did not have to clear any caches or anything like that. I did do a tethered sync of my photos on the phone before it got working, then ended up with dups when they finally came down from iCloud. I think it was finally getting it all uploaded from the Mac to iCloud that fixed it, but the tethered sync may have shaken it loose too. Either way, its nice that its all syncing properly. I think I'm finally making full use of iCloud.

New iPad air. books not downloading from iCloud

I had quite a few books on Ipad 2. Just bought ipad air and after clicking backup from icloud only a few of my books are readable. When I click on them it says formatted incorrectly or is not a format that ibooks can open. Any ideas anyone?

Reset your WiFi router and/or cable modem. Unplug it/them from power for about 30 seconds and then plug them in again. The I would restart the iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Why are some songs in itunes greyed out. will not download from icloud

Music won't download from iCloud to iTunes or iPhone

So, I recently downloaded the new iTunes. And then I realized I have two copies of the same song (one I bought and one was ripped from a CD). I decided to delete one copy. However this deleted all the music from that artist (over one hundred songs, most ripped from CDs). Luckily, at the time, I had iTunes match. I tried to re-download all of my music. Only some of it began to load. I waited for all of that to download, and tried to get the rest. Again, only some of it worked. Now my iTunes match subscription has expired (I have no desire to renew it), some of my music is still missing, and none of it will start to load, but I still have the option to try to download the missing music from iCloud.
Most of the music that did download was music I bought from iTunes, but not all of it. I'm not sure if that's the problem, and I should just bust out my CD copies again or what, but I'd really like to know how I can get the rest of my music. I'd prefer the iCloud versions because then my play count won't be messed up and I organize my playlists by number of plays (so newest music is always first).

I suspect this is the reason you can not download any more music from the cloud.
Don't you have backups of your personal data you can restore from?

When downloading from iCloud to my new iphone my ringtones didn't transfer

i cleared my 4s iphone updated ios 8 software then restored my info from iCloud, but my ringtones are missing,,,why??

You can't store anything on an iPhone SIM. If your contacts are in iCloud, just go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your account and turn Contacts on. They will then download to your phone.

Why have my apps not restored from itunes backup?

I just got a new phone from the apple store and had backed up my old phone on itunes on my laptop. I restored the new phone from the back up on itunes and it has restored my contacts and text messages etc but has not restored any of my purchased apps?? Can anyone help?

WHen you click on file on the upper left hand corner and choose device, there will be 4 option, sync, transfer purchase, back up and restore from back up. You can always download again your purchase from the apple id you used to purchase the apps if you forget 1 step

Brand new 5s - set up as new but will not restore from icloud backup

Hi, all. I received a new 5s today as a present. It was set up at the Sprint store by the staff. I asked what I would need to do to get all of my.apps, photos, etc. and they told me to do an cloud restore when I got home. So I got home and tried to figure out how to do this. I made sure to back up the 4s last night but my new phone says it has never been backed up which I suppose makes sense... so I have several questions:
1) Why would an old apple ID show up all of a sudden?
When I couldn't figure out restore, I erased all settings and tried to set up again from an cloud back up. But it showed me my original apple is from 2005 when email addresses weren't required (my ID then was edavies988) and I only had an iPod. It kept telling me I had an incorrect ID or password when I tried to set up as cloud backup restore. And I checked to make sure my apple ID is my current email address not my old ID. It is the email address. So any idea why this would have happened?
And since that didn't work, I went back and set it up as a new phone again. So....
2) Is there any way to access the cloud back up and restore it without having to reset the phone? I have pictures and apps, etc. that I would like to have on the new phone....I have no idea how to fix this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!!

No, photos and apps aren't on my computer. Only in the cloud. I back up to the cloud only. I have a very old computer.
And no, I don't have anything loaded on the new phone. I apologize if I wasn't clear. I am unable to reset the phone and do a restore on the new phone because of the apple ID problem I mentioned. (Old, no longer used ID is what pops up when I try to restore. And since it isn't the current apple ID it doesn't accept my password. And it will not let me update to the current apple ID during set up. And, yes. I checked online. The current ID is all that shows online.)
What I clumsily was trying to ask was is there a way to do a restore on a new phone without resetting so that I can get the stuff from the old phone to the new phone? (Again, the reset didn't work when trying to reset/restore. So I had to set the phone up as a new phone.)
Does that make sense? Or is it clear as mud?

Pictures not downloading from iCloud restore shows downloading but no pics

Need help I just upgraded fron iPhone 4 to 5s updated from cloud everything worked great but it's been 24 hrs and it still says downloading pics any help would be great

iPods (except for iPod touch) cannot access iCloud directly, even if you subscribe to iTunes Match. The song files needs to be in the local library of the computer the iPod syncs to. Are you saying that once you subscribed to iTunes Match, and matched or uploaded your iTunes music library songs into "the cloud," you deleted your local copies of ALL of your song files?
If you are going to re-sync the iPod from empty, you may want to do a Restore on it, in case there is existing data corruption on the iPod's storage. This will erase the iPod and re-install its software, giving it a fresh start.

Is it possible to restore an ipad from icloud backup of an iphone?

I don't know if this is technically possible. We have several iOs devices associated with one apple id, an iphone, ipad, and ipod. I wanted to know if I can delete all the stuff from my ipad and restore it with stuff from the iphone. Thanks for any help.

Hey there Crusauvage,
It sounds like you have an iPad you would like to restore from an iPhone backup. According to this article yes, you can:
