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.

    You'll need to contact the previous owner to get them to remove the account.
    There is no way to bypass this security feature. If you can't contact the previous owner you have wasted your money and have a phone you'll never be able to use.

  • 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

    Plug your old iPhone and complete the backup.

  • 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.

  • HOW CAN I RESTORE MY ITUNES BACKUP FROM MY MAC BOOK TO MY DESKTOP MAC?

    HOW CAN I RESTORE MY ITUNES IPHONE BACKUP FROM MY MAC BOOK TO MY DESKTOP MAC? THE REASON IS BECAUSE I HAVE TEXTFREE TEXT MESSAGES THAT I NEED FOR MY ATTORNEY AND WHEN I RESTORE IT FROM MY MACBOOK IT DOESNT INSTALL THE TEXTFREE BECAUSE I HAD DELETED ALL MY APPS IN ITUNES FROM IT. I HAVE ALL THE APPS ON MY DESKTOP MAC BUT I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO EXTRACT ONLY THE BACKUPS FROM THE MACBOOK AND IMPORT TO MY MAC DESKTOP. THE DESKTOP MAC IS THE ONE THAT HAS ALL OF MY LATEST BACKUPS. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER. THANKYOU

    Easy. Copy it from the old Mac to the new one.
    There are a variety of techniques including Setup Assistant (as soon as you get your new MacBook Air, it will ask you if you want to transfer information from another computer), Migration Assistant (if you elect to transfer information later), enabling file sharing between the two computers, or copying your music to a flash drive or other storage device followed by importing it to iTunes.
    iTunes: How to move your music from one computer to another
    Once your music library and everything else you want to transfer from the MacBook Pro resides on the new MBA, sync your iPod to the MBA. Sync the iPhone too when you get it, and they will both have identical iTunes music libraries.

  • Can I restore an iPhone backup from a Mac in a Windows PC?

    I have copied the files from Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup from my Mac to a USB stick and I have to use these backup files on a Windows PC.
    Will these files from an iTunes for Mac work on an iTunes for Windows?
    Thanks,

    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 I restore time machine backup from Panther 10.3.9 to Lion 10.7?

    Hi,
    I would like to upgrade my old mac running Panther 10.3.9 to a new Mac running Lion before it fails on me.
    Can I simply restore a Time Machine backup from Panther to Lion? Will my applications come across and function normally?
    Let me know if you need any specific names of apps.

    No your applications will not run on an Intel Mac running Lion.  Macs running Panther 10.3.9 were PPC processors.  Lion has no support for these old Applications  Leopard and Snow Leopard supported some old PPC Applications using Rosetta

  • How can I restore an old backup from iTunes?

    I would like to restore a backup from yesterday. The most current backup was today because it is set on auto backup. When I select 'Restore Backup', the only option I get is the file from this morning.
    I have already located the file I want to restore and saved it to my desktop. How do I select that file in iTunes when I try to back up?
    Thanks.

    Open iTunes then click on iTunes (in the upper left corner) > Preferences... > Devices

  • Can I have two iCloud backup from the same device?

    Hi,
    I have done a hard reset on my iPhone 5S and now I am setting up as a new device. I do not want to use my old iCloud backup but I do not want to delete it. Just keep it just in case. But is there a way to create another backup, so If I want I can use the old or the new backup?

    Who's your carrier?
    That is weird, but the iPhone really is so picky when it comes to SIM cards and other assorted carrier locking annoyances.
    The only reason I could say you're seeing that is if you've got SIM card for a different country. (Canada/USA)

  • How can I restore an old backup from Time Machine to my iPhone 5?

    I have the iPhone 5 that I had previously transferred my apps and other data to from my iPhone 4. Due to poor battery life, I had to restore the iPhone 5 as a new phone. This helped battery life but now I habve lost my text messages, App data and photos. I use Time Machine on my Mac so whayt do I need to do to get the data back on my phone. I'd like to do this without restoring the phone but rather syncing it with data recovered from Time Machine. I don't want to screw up the battery life again.

    Hi ...
    I've found a solution to my problem.
    Time Machine locates extenal HDD backups differently depending if they were done via a network or via a USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt connection.
    My initial backup was done via a direct Thunderbolt connection. I ran into the above issue b/c the second time when I tried looking for the backup file the HDD was conencted to my iMac and I was accessing it via a network conenction.
    I simply connected the drive directly to my MacBook pro and ... voila. I was able to see the backup, select the iPhoto library and begin the restore.
    Hope this helps.
    BTW - I found this out by reading the 'blue box' selection on this page: http://pondini.org/TM/E2.html
    (Thanks goes to Pondini!)

  • Can I move an iCloud Backup from 2 phones to 1 phone?

    I had an iphone 4 for the past 3 years, but early last year I got an iphone 5. For some reason, at the time, I didn't think of transferring all my information to the new iphone 5 - even though I use iCloud to backup all my stuff - I just started to use the phone as normal.  I don't use the old phone for anything, but now I have texts and photos on both phones, but I obviously want them all on the one phone.
    Is it safe to take backups of both phones onto iCloud, delete all the content off the iPhone 5 and then just restore the backup? I have the same icloud login on both phones, so every time each phone is backed up it is to the same account (so everything should be there in the cloud???).
    Any help on this would be great!
    Thanks

    No.  You have to choose to restore one or the other.  You cannot restore both to the same device.
