How do I Restore from iCloud on new iPad that hasn't been upgraded to IOS 7.0.3.  New iPad is at 6.1.3. And all my backups are iOS 6.1.3.

Help me set up my replacement iPad. Old one was on iOS 7.0 and ew one from apple store was on 6.1.3. So now it won't accept the stuff I have in the cloud.

You cannot Restore an iOS 7 Backup on to a Device running iOS 6...
Update your Device to iOS 7 and then Restore from Backup.

  • HT201269 how do i restore from iCloud on new phone?

    I have a new 4s that I got from the AT&T store.
    They got me up and running by getting my contacts downloaded.
    Now I've hooked up to iPhone to restore from iCloud.
    Do I want to restore or do I want to back up?
    I can't figure out how to get my music to migrate to my new phone.
    I have backed up my old phone to the cloud.
    I don't seem to be getting the automatic prompts all the articles talk about and I think it's because at the store they only did contacts.

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

  • HT4859 How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

    How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

    You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone.  If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
    In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

  • New session started with an advertizing page and all my tabs are lost

    New session started with an advertizing page and all my tabs are lost. Restore the previous session is not active. How can I restore my tabs?

    This advice might come too late, but, don't exit Firefox! Or if you already did, don't start it back up again!
    ''If Firefox is running:'' Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listed various files and folders. For best results, change the view to "Details".
    (''If Firefox not running, get to this folder by pasting the following in the Run box on the start menu and pressing Enter: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and then double-click into the most recently updated semi-randomly-named folder you find there.'')
    In the window that launches, scroll down and double-click into the '''sessionstore-backups''' folder. Save all files here to a safe location, such as your Documents folder, so Firefox doesn't overwrite them. We may be able to use them to recover your lost tabs.
    Also, if you return to the main level of the profile folder, you may find some sessionstore files. Copy those to the safe location as well.
    Could you report back on what you found?
    Note: If Windows hides the .js file extension from you, you can change a setting so that you can see all file extensions (this helps when renaming files). This support article has the steps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219 or http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions
    The kinds of files you may find among your sessionstore-backup files are:
    * recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your currently live Firefox session (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
    * recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
    * previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last Firefox session
    * upgrade.js-''build_id'': the windows and tabs in the Firefox session that was live at the time of your last update

  • HT201418 After restoring from iCloud to new device - strange Apple ID popup on the phone

    I have change my iPhone 6 to 6+. I have done backup of the old iPhone to iCloud. When I started restore process - iOS system gave you a question with Apple ID (is this your Apple ID?) as always with strange one. I guess system is always giving suggestion to the Apple ID account latest backup was done to the nearest server of iCLOUD. Of course I have deleted this stranger Apple ID suggestion for restore and I have applied my own APPLE ID.
    Restore took some time and was successful.
    ISSUE - many times iOS want to connect to iTunes - pop up window is appearing having again suggestion of the same STRANGE Apple ID. It;s annoying and I do not know how to get rid out from my iOS.
    I put my normal Apple ID with credentials into iCloud and iTunes setting on iPhone but still strange one pops-up

    You probably needed to update the iOS on the new phone.  When it's done, set it up as a new iPhone, then disconnect it from your computer.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (provide the password if prompted), go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • How long should Restore from iCloud take on iPhone 6?

    I have just purchased a new iPhone 6 and after downloading whatsapp, the restore from iCloud function is currently active for 32060 messages and 3421 photos, but has been for the last 12 hours and is now frozen on 91%.
    I am not sure how to access my whatsapp now as I cannot seem to exit the restore from iCloud function but it will not proceed forward with the restore.
    Is there any way for me to resolve this?

    Hello Mark,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see you're concerned about the time for how long it's taking for your iPhone to restore from iCloud.  There's no set time for completion of an iCloud backup, as the time does vary based on how much content needs to be restored.
    The restore process is taking a long time to finish
    The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process might take 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete.
    If you're traveling between countries, the restore process might take longer than usual. iCloud is tuned to provide the best service when you're in the geographical location from which you most frequently connect to the Internet. When restoring from an iCloud backup, iCloud is tuned to provide the best service in the geographical region you were in when you created the backup.

  • How to get notes from icloud to new iphone.

    All my old iphone 4S 'notes' are stored in icloud. When I synced up my new iphone 5 it did not transfer the last ten months of notes onto the phone, just everything prior to that. So I'm nervous if I back up the notes I've made since, it may overwrite what is already on icloud. Can anyone give me advice on how to transfer the rest of my notes from icloud onto my iphone 5, or how to get them all together again?

    On your phone.  If you have Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud, and also had notes on the phone prior to turning on this setting, you should have two accounts in the notes app: On My iPhone and iCloud (listed as your iCloud ID). 
    Did you have notes on your phone prior to turn on Notes in Settings>iCloud?  Is Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud now?

  • How do I synchronise from iCloud onto new phone

    Got a new iPhone 4S today I'd downloaded every thing to I cloud but now can't get it all on to my new phone. Can't get onto my emails and all photos lost help

    If you upgraded from an older phone, restore the new phone to the backup of your old phone in order to transfer you data, settings, camera roll photos and videos, music, apps and other media to the new phone.  If you are only trying to access the data you are syncing with iCloud, rather than restoring all your settings, etc., just go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, then turn on the data you wish to sync with iCloud (Mail, Calendars, Contacts, etc.).  When you enable photo stream you will receive photos added in the last 30 days.

  • I am attempting to restore from icloud on new 5c from old 5c and has taken 4 days locked, plugged in, and connected to secure good internet, but still not finished. What can I do?

    I have already cleared the content and settings from the phone twice and tried to start completely from scratch.
    I also already tried backing up the phone onto my computer then restoring then using the computer back up via USB connection.
    In addition, my phone displays as almost full (its an 8G) yet I have 4 songs (8.2MB), no books, 48 apps (1.98GB) - which seems like a lot of space used for apps, 96 photos (84.6MB), Documents&Data (917MB) and that's it! It just has a huge section that displays as "other" (1.62 GB) then 780.2 free.
    I'm OBVIOUSLY not a tech person, but it seems like having some apps and 4 songs and 90 photos shouldn't mean your phone is so full I had to erase all the content just to do the software update for it to allow me to back it up! What is the issue there? Those numbers don't seem like they add up to anything near 8GB, but again I'm sure I'm missing something.
    Any help is appreciated. My other phone was exactly the same one and I had no such problems so perhaps this one is just faulty?
