How do I restore a back up from icloud from iphone 4 to iphone 5
I bought an Iphone 5 to replace my iphone 4. The verizon customer service set my phone up for me but when I got home I realized that what i actually needed was to have data restored/moved over from my iphone 4 so that it would have all my texts, messages, apps etc. I can't seem to find where i get the setup assistant to do a restore from the iphone 4's backup i have on icloud. How do I do that?
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will reset the device to factory settings, so you can go through the same setup as you did out of the box. One of those steps is choosing if you want to restore from a backup.

How do i restore a back-up on iCloud?
Hi,
I have a back-up saved in the iClould, how do i restore it back to the phone?If you apps are still in iTunes, you should be able to sync them back to your computer. Otherwise, if you have iOS 5 (5.01) on your phone you could redownload them by launching Apps, press the Purchased button at the bottom, press Purchased at the top, then Not On This Phone. This will list your apps and allow you to redownload them. If you've purchased apps using multiple Apple IDs, you will have to sign in to each of these IDs to be able to download all your apps (by going to Settings>Store>tap on the Apple ID, sign out, sign back in using another ID).

How do I restore a backed up music library from another drive
I have had to move many thousands of music tracks from an old MacPro to a new Mac Mini. I transfered the whole music folder to a NAS before I did this and while the MacMini seems to have setup an iTunes library with some of the music a lot is not appearing. I have bought some more tracks and backed up CDs since this move onto the new libaray but now I want to restore all the missing tracks which are sitting on the NAS. How do I do this without ending up with hundreds of multiple copies of the tracks taht are on the Mini??? The Organise Library tool might copy the tracks across but it'll almost certainly make duplicates of exisiting tracks...
I have iTunes Sweeper but I don't think its capable of this. Is there an App that will?This is what I always do (and believe me, it's been done many times):
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Locate the current iTunes library (this assumes that you have used iTunes since your old lib got damaged). You can use find to do this, the current lib will be the one that's been modified last (so if you last used iTunes on September 22nd and quit afterwards, the library should show that it's been modified 22/9).
3. It'll probably be named just as 'iTunes library.xxx' (can't remember the file ending now). Now, back up the backed up library (you can never be too sure) and when done, change its name to be identical to your current, pathetically small library.
4. Move the old library to the folder where the new one is. The system will ask whether you want to replace the the existing library with the same name, and of course you will want to.
5. Start iTunes anew and you should have your old library back. -

I did a back up from my iPhone 4 on iTunes but I don't seem to be able to restore on my new 5cRestoring from an older iOS to a newer iOS version is fine. It's going the other way that would be a problem.
You do need a late version of iTunes on your computer to be able to work with the new iPhone. The current iTunes version is 11.1.3. If your iTunes is old, download the latest from

How do I restore the back up from my old iPhone 5 which is IOS 8.1.3 to my new iPhone 6 which is IOS 8? It's not coming up as an available back up restore option? Am I able to set up as a new iPhone and then update the new phone to IOS 8.1.3 and then restore from my old iPhone 5 back up at that stage?
Setup your new phone, then update to iOS 8.1.3. Once done: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings". At the setup screen you'll now be able to select your old phone's backup.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.
You can't. iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
But not from a Mac. If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use it with Time Machine.

I accidentally stored my backup information on my aunties iPad 2 so her information is gone. How do I restore it back?
Connect to her computer again and see if you can find her latest backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
If it is still listed, restore it again and use this backup again after the new setup.
If you already synced after you used your backup on her device, the info is gone, iTunes replaces each backup with the new one, unless you use a backup to restore from. This backup will be marked with a time stamp and will not be removed from the list until you delete it.
