Can my backup of my IPHONE 4 ver 7.1.2 be used to restore back to my new IPHONE 6 plus IOS 8?
I will be purchasing the new IPHONE 6 plus tomorrow.
Can my Iphone 4 (not s) be backed up under IOS 7.1.2 and be restored to my new IPHONE 6 plus?
Or do I need to backup IPHONE 4
Upgrade to IOS 8
Backup IPHONE 4 with IOS 8
then restore IPHONE 6+ from the last backup of the IPHONE 4 IOS backup?
thanks Lou
but the opposite isnt possible sady!
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!

how do i restore my backup from an iphone 4s to a brand new 5? my 5 had to be updated to the newest ios and therefore was prompted to restore as a new iphone first
Did you follow the article you linked above? An iPhone running a new version of iOS can be restored by using the backup of an iPhone running a lower version. You can also follow this article:

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?
"gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one. -
Can anyone tell me why my photo stream is not loading all 1,000 pictures onto my new iphone 5c? i backed up my old phone onto the mac and plugged in my new phone then hit backup. it only gave me 100 pictures????? why?
thanks for any help!Because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them. Only shared streams keep photos in iCloud indefinitely. Your other photos are probably older than 30 days and are no longer in iCloud.
Also, photo stream photos aren't included in your backup, only camera roll photos are. If you want to include photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll in your backup, you have to save them to the camera roll before backing up. -

Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password. My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it.
That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

If you a 3G or 4G iPod then you can install iOS 5. iOS 5 is required for the iPod to use iCloud.

My iPhones screen is broken(a black screen and the touch function does not work).I want to back it up, however I can't unlock it. I don't need to fix it, but i do need the information back up to new iPhone. How can i back it up?
i don't see a way for you to back up your phone, because it will require you to unlock the phone.

So I needed to get a new iphone because my old one had a broken lock button and it was in my warranty that i could get a new one for free so i did. Knowing that, before the switch of phones i downloaded all of my pictures and videos onto my dell laptop under windows photo gallery thinking that i could transfer them back onto my new iphone once i got it. I thought that i knew how to do this but i guess i dont. i uploaded all of the photos from my laptop onto a new flashdrive i just bought hoping that i could some how transfer the photos to my desktop computer that has itunes on it. i was also unsuccessful in doing this so now i have no idea what to do! please help!
You need to put the folder of pictures somewhere on the computer that contains iTunes. After connecting the phone to the computer, selecting the phone and looking in iTunes, go to the Photos tab and select these photos and sync.

I'm backing up my new iphone 5 from icloud and it's taking forever for my photos to download. It's been going for 4 days. It's downloaded 1400 out of 1900 photos. Am I doing something wrong?
I think you may not using the right technical terms. When backing up to icloud, there is no way you'd get a message saying things will be wiped. This message may be displayed when you are performing a RESTORE from a backup and then trying to cancel it.
If you are doing a restore, then you can reboot and restore again.
