Can you restore a backup from an iPhone 6 to an iPad 2?

I bought my wife an iPad 2 and I want to set it up to be just like her iPhone 6 (absent the iPhone only apps, obviously). However, I cannot seem to get it done.
I do not use iCloud backup - this is from a backup on a Mac running Yosemite via iTunes.  Both devices are running iOS 8.1.3.
I select 'Restore Backup', then select the backup of my wife's iPhone and I get a message: "Settings and data from some apps are not compatible with iPad and will not be restored." I figure this means it will restore everything except the iPhone specific apps.
I click 'continue' and it appears to go through the restore process, but then nothing gets installed on the iPad.
Thoughts?

I restored a backup from a DIFFERENT iPad (mini) to my target iPad 2.  I have not been able to restore the backup from the iPhone to the target iPad.
I have tried the following:
Backup of iPhone 6 to target iPad 2 - Fail
Backup of iPhone 5S to target iPad 2 - Fail
Backup of different iPad mini to target iPad 2 - Complete
So the target iPad 2 will take a restore from a different iPad (mini), but not from two different iPhones.
Is it just me, or can such a restore just not be done?

    Hi Got an Ipod which is broken and will be replaced - can I restore a backup from the old ipod to the replacement one to recover all my music, apps, contacts, messages etc?

    You can restore from your iTunes backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    However, synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Can you restore the data from an iPhone 6 if it has water damage?

    i want to know if i can get all the data that was on my iPhone 6 that has water damage.

    No way to tell until you try. If the water damage was severe enough
    to prevent the iPhone from starting up, then the answer is effectively no
    (see next paragraph).
    Companies specializing in data recovery may - emphasis on may - be
    able to recover some data. Attempts are very very expensive and there are
    no guarantees. Google/Bing/Yahoo/etc should assist in locating such companies.
    Have you failed to backup your iPhone or sync it to iCloud?

  • How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?

    How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?  I did something wrong as now nothing is on my phone but several questions such as language, etc. They keep repeating.  When I turn phone completely off, the same thing happens when I turn it on.  It is very frustrating now to have no phone service or anything at all on my phone.

    It sounds as if the phone is waiting to be activated. Did you update software or something like that on the phone? You can either try to finish the Setup routine, or you can connect the device to iTunes on the computer and then after selecting the iPhone in the device pane, click on the button that says Restore a Backup.

  • Can  you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    You can do this a couple ways.  If you are using MobileMe, notes is one of the options for synchronization and that would be automatic.  Another way is to backup your iphone to iTunes, this backs up essentially all the information on your phone (except for music) and if you restore the other iphone to the image of the original your notes will be transfered.

  • How can I restore deleted pictures from an iPhone 5  without back up?

    How can I restore deleted pictures from an iPhone 5  without back up?

    If you've previously synced the pictures to a computer (as is generally advised to archive them), then they are gone, unless you have backed up the device to itunes or icloud.  If so, you need to perform a restore:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Note that you cannot restore just one file, it's all or nothing.

  • HT1386 I backup my boss iphone to my pc, i copy the backup file to his PC, can he restore the backup to his iphone using his pc and will not reset his iphone.  Thanks so much

    Hi,
    I backup my boss iphone to my pc, i copy the backup file to his PC, can he restore the backup to his iphone using his pc and will not reset his iphone.  Thanks so much

    Put the device in DFU mode and restore.
    When he gets back to the computer that he normally syncs with, he can restore from his backup.  Everything since that last backup will be lost.
    Start apologizing now... keep it up for a few months to several years.
    Then hopefully you will learn to leave other peoples stuff alone.

  • HT4910 Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

    Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

    Hi Drumsing,
    As long as you have your iCloud account set up and signed in on both devices, and the Notes checke in iCloud on both devices, there is no reason they should not sync.
    Try resetting both devices - Hold down the Hole and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears. Do that for both, then try Notes again.
    P.S., after you write a note, you need to close the App on the device you wrote the note on before you open the app on the other device to see it.....
    Hope this helps,
    GB
