How to find iCloud backup after reset

Hi,
recently my iPad2 froze/Hung after an update to iOS7xx. After a non responsive period of a few hours and with no response to shutdown/startup I tried to enter DFU mode with the hope that I could then simply use recboot or something similar to exit DFU mode. No such luck so after downloading many different versions of firmware, I finally got the iPad to install as a new device using a new computer and fresh iTunes. Now I need to find my backup so I can restore using my Apple ID but don't know enough about iCloud to go about it. Can someone please help me with this. Many thanks.

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings.  After the reset, go thru the setup until you're on that page that gives you the option to "Restore from iCloud backup".

    How do I recreate passwords after resetting my iphone5?

    Yep, that erases all saved WiFi passwords. Means you'll have to input them again when you join each network. There's no way to "just add them back", if that's what you're asking, nor can they be retrieved anywhere.

    I activated a replacement iphone 5. When I tried to restore from my iCloud backup, it said the os of the backup was not compatible with the replacement phone os so I chose the option to activate as a new phone. (Old phone was on 7 - replacement phone was sent to me with an earlier os).

    Yeah - guess you're right. It just took me hours to figure out what to do/not do. New to iphones and never had to restore before. Maybe Apple could at least include the very simple instructions wjosten  posted. Would have saved me a lot of stress and time....
    Apple does provide instructions.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    When restoring an iOS backup to a iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that is not using the latest version of iOS, you may see the following behavior:
    You cannot see or select the most recent backup from the list of available backups in iTunes or iCloud.
    iTunes displays the alert "The backup [name] cannot be restored to this [iOS device] because the software on the [iOS device] is too old."
    iTunes displays the alert "No backups available."
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • How to manage iCloud backups?

    I am full on my icloud storage, i know how to look in phone and manage by deleting. Although how do i look at what i am deleting. I feel like i have stored things that i have no way of finding.? any help out there

    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"

  • Anyway to restore from iCloud backup after initial setup?

    I purchased a new 5s today - my old 4s was backed up to iCloud - the store moved my contacts but I guess they skipped the cloud restore part so I don't have any of my apps - is there anyway to restore from cloud backup after initial setup?  I think I can reset it but not sure how to do it and I'm afraid of what it will delete if I reset - please help - I could reload my apps but it won't keep my data right? Thanks

    You should check to make sure that your contacts/information is in your iCloud by logging into iCloud.com. You can also plug your device into iTunes and check when the most recent iCloud backup was before restoring from it.
    If your information is there, then you can go through the activation process again pretty easily by going into Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Then you can just restore from your iCloud backup.

  • Cannot turn on icloud backup after downgrade to iOS 7.1.2

    I own an iPhone 4S which I upgraded to iOS 8 on 21st September. The iphone and most of applications (even phone) crashed all the time so I decide to downgrade to 7.1.2 after following instructions found in these communities. I did it just yesterday.
    Now I cannot turn on iCloud Backup to my iPhone. The iCloud drive of course disappeared from Settings > iCloud, however it's still visible when I access the iCould in web. Moreover in iCloud web interface my iPhone appears as running iOS 8 and X Yosemite which is not true. My iPhone has 7.1.2 iOS.
    I tried to erase my iPhone and restore it from a backup I made yesterday but I have the same issue: iCloud could not be enabled. It was enabled finally after hard reset but when I select "Backup now" the app crashes and throw me in the Home Screen. I see a message: this iPhone has never been backed up on iCloud and the last backup could not be completed.
    Please help!!!!!! I want to be able to have iCloud Backup (most important settings and contacts, sms etc.) as I did usually before upgrading to iOS 8 and downgraded to 7.1.2.

    Hello,
    Been experiencing the same problem, finally fix it by deleting your old iCloud backup from iOS 8.
    Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Click on your device name > Scroll down to bottom > Delete this backup.
    Then try to turn on the iCloud Backup setting toggle again.
    Hope this helps.
    iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2, downgraded from iOS 8

  • How to restore iCloud backups earlier ios version to new phone with latest ios?

    Does anybody know how to restore an icloud backup with i.os 7.1.2 version to a new iphone5 with ios 7.0.4 version?
    thanks

    Set up the phone as a new phone, not from the backup. Go to Settings > General > Software Update, and perform the update. Then go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to repeat the setup, and this time choose Restore from backup.
