How do you restore cloud data to new 4s phone

I just bought new 4s and store turned it on. Had previously backed up everything from my 4 phone to the cloud. Now need to restore all 10 gigs of data to my 4s from the cloud, but 4s has no restore button. All backup does is send more data to the cloud from the new 4s. HELP....

If the phone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  Make sure it's connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

  • How do you restore iphone as a new phone?

    Hi there,
    How do you restore iphone as a new phone? Actually, I know how to restore it but I'm not sure how to get the files back on after... I don't really understand how this will be any different from just restoring from a backup if I'm just going to put the content on later anyways.
    Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated!
    The reason I'm asking about this is because my battery life on my 4S is soooo bad!

    Ah. So, the reason it'll help to use as new device is because typically the app data is not the issue. It's a corrupt system file. So using new device takes away any corrupt system files and almost always solves most any issue. However it does cause the pain of having to add everything back. I've done this in cases where restoring from backup just didn't solve my issue. It ***** but is sometimes needed.

  • How do you restore Lightbeam data

    How do you restore the .json file that Lightbeam saves when the "Save Data" button is selected? The Firefox browser (ver. 33) has become slow and I want to disable the blocked sites temporarily to see if that could be the problem. Thanks!

    I'm trying to determine whether I can restore the blocked sites in Lightbeam if I choose to reset Lightbeam to solve a slowness issue with my current Firefox browser, ver. 33. The json file that Lightbeam created when "Save Data" is selected does not include any other Firefox data to my knowledge, such as bookmarks and the like. If I restore the bookmarks etc. using the Mozilla instructions, will that also include the Lightbeam-created blocked sites? The list of blocked sites is extensive. Thanks for your help!

    Only a "total" restore from an icloud backup to a device will return your notes.

  • Upgraded from Iphone 4 to 4s.  old phone backed up to iCloud.  How do I restore that data to my new iphone?

    I just upgraded from the iPhone 4 to 4s.  I had backed up the old phone backed up to iCloud.  How do I restore that data to my new iphone?  Even though I had photostream on, it never synched.  I installed iCloud for the pc and can see the backup up in the cloud.  I just want to get all the data to the new phone. 

    When you go through the new phone setup, it should ask if you want to setup as new or restore from iCloud. If you have already setup as new, you will have to reset the 4S to factory settings, and go through setup again.

  • I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

  • How do you restore a 'new phone' from your previous phone iCloud?

    I got a new iPhone 5 today after smashing the screen on my old one. I needed to use it straight away and wasn't connected to a wifi so i wasn't able to restore using iCloud, I set it up as a 'new phone'. How do I restore it now from my previous phone backup?
    Thanks

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.
