How to remove a iPhone from my iCloud backup (to free up storage)?

I have changed my iPhone (from a 4 to a 5) and used my PC to backup my 4 and restore it to my 5.
But I also had iCloud..., and an old backup of my 4 has now eaten half my storage plan, so my 5 can not be backed up via iCloud...
How do I remove me 4 from the iCloud backup, in order to free up space?

Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap your iPhone 4 under Backups, tap Delete Backup.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    Be aware that photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving and that relying on a restore from an icloud backup may not return all (or any) of your photos.  Once on the computer, you can sync the photos to the new device...

  • How do I remove an app from my Icloud backup?

    I'm not even sure I'm asking the right question.  I want to reinstall an app at the recommendation of my IT admin.  When I delete it from my phone and tehn attempt to reinstall from the app store, it is coming from the cloud.   I assume that's my icloud backup storage.   If that's the case, I'm not getting a new copy of the app but a copy of the one that was on my phone.  How do I remove something from my icloud backup permanently. 

    It isn't reinstalling it from your backup.  The cloud symbol is just a link to your previously purchased apps in the app store so you can easily download them again.  When you tap it, it will download it again from the app store.
    (The backup doesn't included purchased apps and media, it only includes a record of your purchased media.  When you restore a backup it downloads the purchased apps and media from the iTunes store.)

  • How to remove an iphone from my id

    hi,
    once my friend sync-ed his iphone with my computer. then whenever he is in wi-fi zone it is asking password for my used id for updating the apps. how to change the user name in his phone or how to remove his device from my apple ID. please help.
    thanks
    karthik

    The only way to fix this is for your friend to delete all the content, on his/her phone, obtained using your ID. Fact is, that's called stealing. There is no other fix.

  • How can you retrieve information from a iCloud backup on a previous iPhone? Backup from old phone is taking up a lot of space, would like to save pics to computer before deleting. How can I open up the backup from previous phone that is now on the iCloud?

    I originally had an iPhone 4 but switched service carriers back in June.  When I bought the new iPhone 4s, all my information from the iPhone 4 was saved as a backup on the iCloud.  On my new phone in the iCloud settings, Storage & Backup, it shows the backup from the iPhone 4.  This backup is taking up a lot of space on my phone and I would like to delete to avoid having to purchase more space.  However, I know I have pictures on this backup from the iPhone 4 that I would like to view and save on my computer if at all possible before deleting.  Is it possible to view the photos from this backup? If so, how? Thank you in advance for any assistance.  I hope this makes sense, lol, I'm not very computer literate.

    Unfortunately with the issues I mentioned above I don't even think I have enough space for that on the computer!  I have literally moved all moy pictures, music, etc. to another drive and all that's left are some small docs and applications.  I don't know how to find any more space on the thing and can't get things updated until I fix this...

  • How to restore an Iphone from an older backup ?

    My Iphone backup crashed upgrading to IOS5 :-(
    Under : Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backup     I find an old backup I want to use.
    Itunes does put its backups in this folder but this older backup is not visible in Itunes.
    I tried replacing the contents but no luck.
    So the question is how to restore from that old backup without using Timecapsule?
    Thanks for any help,
    Best regards,

  • How do i restore pictures from an icloud backup?

    Hi, does any one know how do i restore an icloud backup? i have not photo streamed any of my photos on my iphone 5 and whilst trying to sort this out i have ended up deleting about a 100 photos. Is there a way of retrieveing these through using the icloud back up?

    The iCloud backup only includes camera roll photos, not photo stream photos.  If they were in the camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them.

    If that new toolbar isn't empty then it should reappear after closing and restarting Firefox. All customization data is stored in the file localstore.rdf.
    Is Firefox creating a new file localstore.rdf ?<br />

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br />
