Erase all content then restore new iPad from iCloud backup?

I'm selling my iPad 3 today and want to get the new iPad 5 as soon as it releases.  Before I sell my iPad 3 I'm going to backup the device and then erase all content and settings from the device.  Will this also delete my iPad backup from my iCloud account?  I plan on restoring my iPad 5 from my iPad 3 iCloud backup.  Will this work?  Thanks for any help!

  • 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:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    Only app data from App Store apps and sync settings will be restored to your device when you do the following:

  • HT4623 I received a replacement Ipad.  Trying to restore new Ipad from Icloud.  new Ipad doesn't have IOS 7.0.3 what do i do?

    The new Ipad doesn't have IOS 7.0.3 how do I update without it being restored or setup yet?

    Start out with as new and then update to iOS 7.0.6 the current iOS level.
    Then do a restore from iCloud using the following procedure:

  • Restoring new mini from icloud backup: how do you suppress multiple itunes accounts

    I am setting up my wife's mini.  We backed up her iPad gen 3 to iCloud.  When setting up mini from icloud it askes for passwords for iTunes accounts belonging to son and daughter. They used their accounts to load apps fr me on my iPad.  I do not have their passwords.  How do I suppress the accounts on iPad so it does not try to retstore the apps they bought for me.  Thanks.

    Your title and the text in the post say two different things.
    Your title says you are restoring from an iCloud backup.
    Your post says you are doing an "iCloud installation".  Admittedly, I don't know exactly what that means.
    Please describe the exact symptom(s) you are observing, and whether whatever activity that is under way is providing evidence of proceeding.

  • I live in Canada.  Each time I travel to the US, I lose all calendar entries.  I have to erase all data, then restore from an iCloud backup.  Tedious.  iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, sync set to all events.  Any suggestions?

    I live in Canada.  Each time I travel to the US, I lose all calendar entries.  I have to erase all data, then restore from an iCloud backup.  Tedious.  iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, sync set to all events.  I only use the default calendar.  Do I have an incorrect setting?

    I did find another point worth mentioning. 
    I use my iPhone 4 with a corporate Exchange email account.  I had deleted the account from my phone just before I did this backup/restore process...and I thought my battery drain was much, much better (if not outright fixed). 
    Later in the day, after seeing my battery life improve to near-new behavior, I re-added my Exchange mail account.  Considering I have 1 yahoo account and 3 gmail accounts, the Exchange account adds a 5th email account.
    What happened?  Battery drain back to "worst case".  Removing or re-adding the Exchange account is like toggling between decent and terrible drain conditions.
    Bottom line is that I re-added a couple dozen applications and battery life didn't change.  By far, the Exchange account drains the battery worse than any other app and setting.  This account must be polling very frequently and since people tend to send very large file attachments to that account, perhaps those effect the battery drain even though I have the account set to not download attachments.
    Anyone running Microsoft Exchange might be able to confirm what I see?  If so I can open an enterprise ticket with Microsoft and bug them on this issue.

    Installing the app will simply allow you to locate a different iDevice.
    You don’t need to use it to locate the iPhone in your hands. If it’s not in your hands, you cannot use the app on that device...

  • Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

    Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
    I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
    This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
    What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
    Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
    Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
    Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
    Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
    Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

    Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
    ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
    I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

  • IPhone 5:  Restoring Camera Roll from iCloud Backup.

      When restoring all data from iCloud Backup, Camera Roll never finished downloading.  It was stuck at 5 out of 715.  How can I restore Camera Roll from iCloud Backup now that the initial "start up" Restore is complete?

    Got my photos & videos back into camera roll!  I woke this morning and all 701 were there.  This is a few less than the most recent backup had, but good enough. So, there were a few things flakey about my experience restoring from iCloud.  Therefore as many, including yourself have noted, iCloud IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A TRUSTED METHOD for backing up, storing or restoring photos & videos.  If your photos & videos are important to you, backup to your computer at regular intervals. 
    What worked?
    1:  Following randers4's suggestion to review ezjules' post (see above for link).
    2:  When the most recent backup failed, I went to the next one available (2 days old)
    3:  When the Photo App displaying X of XXX images downloading in camera roll got hung up on the first few images, I powered down the phone and it resumed downloading more.  However, it hung up 2 more times and then proceeded while I went to bed. 
    4:  Phone was plugged into A/C outlet entire time, no incoming or outgoing phone calls or texts. 
    I am no longer going to back up photos or videos to the cloud.  I will also cancel my additional storage capacity on iCloud.  Why pay for secure storage that is so flakey?!?

  • HT201274 Will erase all content and settings on ipad affect basic icons?

    I want to erase all personal information from my ipad 4, will erase all content and settings work. Will my ipad be reset to factory settings.

    If you do that your device restores to factory settings. However, if you just want to remove settings, then just Erase All Settings. It's much faster.

  • Exact sequence to backup, wipe then restore new iphone from backup?

    Like a lot of people I'm hoping to switch from a 3g to a 3g s next friday. One thing I'm slightly confused about, due to a previous bad experience, is the whole backup and restore thing. A few months ago my iphone was replaced by apple as it was faulty. I did a restore from backup with the new iphone and somehow it got screwed up. None of my apps got transfered to the new phone, I had to install them manually and lost all my game saves.
    Please can someone post the exact step by step sequence including wiping all data from the old iphone?
    thanks in advance
    Kev

    For backup, see the iPhone Manual, page 139-140.
    When you connect your new iPhone to iTunes, you will be given the option to "Set up as new phone" or "Restore from a backup" with a list of the available backups you can choose.
    To erase your old iPhone, connect iPhone to your computer or a power adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.” This feature resets all settings to their defaults and removes all your information and media on your iPhone by overwriting the data stored on iPhone.

    You will first have to update your new iPhone to iOS 8.1.2. Go through the setup without restoring. Next go to Settings > General > Software Update and update. After the update is complete choose Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will put the iPhone back into Setup mode. You can now do the setup and restore to your iOS 8.1.2 backup.
