Had to restore iPhone, now can't do iCloud backup

I had to do a full restore on my iPhone 6. Backed up on iTunes on computer first, an an iCloud backup.
Did restore, from iTunes, set back up etc. I normally use iCloud for backups, I have 20Gb plan.
Now I tried to initiate an iCloud backup it says not enough space.
Says my iCloud photo library is 13.5Gb, next iPhone backup is 5.8Gb, so not enough space.
Before restore it was backing up fine, so presume that after restore it's "ID" or something?
Anyone help I'm stuck....
few notes...
iCloud photo library beta was on before and after restore
Optimise iPhone storage is checked
Last iCloud backup states 1.8Gb.
I think my iPhone after the restore has changed ID/device no/hash ID or something. I've just opened my bank app and it's required me to "register my device for banking". This previously was registered so my bank app had identified it as a new device and I had to go through the registration process again..

Hi QwertyMan11,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
You may find these tips helpful if iCloud doesn't have enough storage space to create a new backup after you've restored your iPhone:
Get help creating an iCloud backup - Apple Support
I can't back up because there's not enough storage available.
If your iCloud storage reaches its maximum capacity, you can take any of these actions:
Upgrade your iCloud storage plan.
Create a smaller backup:
Select which apps to back up. Include only the apps that contain important data.
Delete unwanted photos and videos before backing up. You can also save the photos and videos to your computer before deleting them.
Turn off backup for Photo Library (or Camera Roll in iOS 7), especially if you already back up your photos to your computer. (My Photo Stream isn't a backup of your photos.)
Delete old messages from your device, especially messages with attachments. To delete a message, swipe over it, then tap Delete.
Delete items that you no longer need from iCloud. You can save them to your computer before deleting them. For example, you can:
Delete old backups, such as backups for devices you no longer have.
Delete app data or documents.
Delete old email messages, especially messages with attachments.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Restoring iPhone via iTunes but using iCloud backup

I have an iPhone 4S that is NOT sync'd to an iTunes on a computer, but is sync'd to iCloud. I need to wipe it competely and restore it to the lastest iOS and then use iCloud to restore the setting and content via wifi.
I am asking to make sure I've got this correct:
Start up phone in recovery mode
Use itunes to restore
I'm fuzzy on what happens when the iphone restarts AFTER the iOS is restored to factory? Will I be able to eject it from iTunes before it get's sync'd to that iTunes and then continue on with the phone in hand to restore settings and backup from iCloud?

If you already have the latest iOS, and you go through the Erase All Content and Settings, I don't believe you'll get a "fresh" installation of iOS since it is already installed. But perhaps it does perform an over-the-air iOS install, not entirely sure to be honest.
But it sounds like what you're trying to do is "dig deeper" into the restoration process to cure a problem? If so, instead of Erase All Content and Settings right off the bat, here's what you could do:
1- Restore from iTunes, that will force a full download of iOS (if your computer doesn't already have it) and re-install iOS completely.
2- At the end of this process, set your phone up as a new device with a different name than it has now (this is temporary).
3- Let the restore complete, and don't bother loading apps, media, etc.
4- Now initiate Erase All Content and Settings and then select your iCloud backup.

I had a problem with my iphone and had to restore and now i have lost all music from itunes any way to get it back ?

i had a problem with my iphone and had to restore and now i have lost all music from itunes any way to get it back ?

It should ne in itunes on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then - in the U.S only - you can get previous itunes purchases from the beta version of icloud. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

HT1267 I have a factory unlocked Iphone 4S, it worked fine but it was lossing the signal and going into search, I decided to restore, but now can not activate it, a message can not be activated because the server is temporary unavailable try again later??

I have a factory unlocked Iphone 4S, it worked fine but it was often lossing signal and going into search, I decided to restore, but now can not activate it, a message can not be activated because the server is temporary unavailable try again later, I have tried this for 3 days, any suggestions?

yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries

HT1212 I CHANGED MY PASSWORD WHEN I HAD RESET MY IPHONE NOW I CANT ACTIVATE AGAIN AS IT SHOWS "' CANNOT BE USED TO UNLOCK THIS IPHONE"'

hello sir
i recently changed my password and when i had reset my iphone now cant activate my iphone again
please help me on this issue
I CHANGED MY APPLE ID PASSWORD

You need to contact the seller. If they are the original owner of the phone, they need to remove the device from their iCloud. You cannot get past Activation Lock. Only the original Apple ID and password used to activate the device can be used. If you cannot get the original owner, then return the phone for a refund. It will be useless to you.
This explains Activation Lock to you http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818 and this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515 explains what it is that you have to try and do. Either way, it requires the original Apple ID and password.

I upgraded my phone to ios 5 and had to restore it; now it is frozen. what do I do?

I upgraded my phone to ios 5 and had to restore it; now it is frozen. what do I do?

If your iPhone is frozen you must do a hard reboot,
Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
Continue holding both buttons until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart
Let go when you see the Apple Logo

Had to restore ipod now it will not sync any of the apps that we have downloaded

Ipod was locked with password daughter forgot, had to restore ipod, now ipod will not sync any of the apps that we downloaded from itunes. Anyone know why???

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

No

Turn it in to the local authorities - most likely it is stolen. Activation Lock is a
security feature in iOS 7 and later. Only the person who initiated the Activation
Lock can remove it. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.

If i buy an iphone now, can i buy the next generation iphone at the upgrade price?

help me! if i buy an iphone now, can i buy the next generation iphone at the upgrade price?

No. It takes more than a year for AT&T or Verizon to give you a discounted price for an upgrade.

I had to restore my system from a time machine backup. It Failed...

I had to restore my system from a time machine backup. It seemed to go alright up to it asking me to resart to complete the installation, but it would not boot. It forced a panic screen that told me to force quit my computer and resart which did not resolve anything.
Now I have installed the original Leopard 10.5 but I used to have 10.6.8 on it. How can I get it back to 10.6.8? or do I have to buy it again?
Any ideas why the restore failed?
thanks,
R.

It seems you had a kernel panic (see attached link):
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742
Regarding upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6.8), you will have to install the disk you used originally. If you have lost it, then you will have to get a new one. The Apple online store sells them for about $29. When you install Snow Leopard, you should then do a Software update.
Ciao.

How can i recover my photos if i restored my phone but turned off icloud backup?

how can i recover my photos if i restored my phone but turned off icloud backup?

Do you have any backup at all for your device? If you do, then you can restore from that backup and get any photos that were on it. If you have imported your photos to your computer, you can sync them back to your device via an iTunes sync. If you had Photo Stream turned on, you can recover your Photo Stream for the last 30 days or 1000 photos on that Photo Stream (whichever comes first) by signing onto the iCloud account that the Photo Stream was turned on for.

How can i get my deleted contacts in my iphone 4s without itunes and icloud backup

how can i get my deleted contacts in my iphone 4s without itunes and icloud backup

If you connect your iPhone to a computer running Linux (Ubuntu version in my case) it will become recognized as a normal USB memory pen-drive.
From there, you can use many methods to recover your lost deleted files.
TestDrive allows you to search the drive (iPhone memo) and gives you the possibility to recover deleted files. I'm not an expert, nor did it with iDevice by myself. But it worked for me with Symbian phone (Nokia)...
Alternatively:
Check steps explained in this article.
