How to restore iCloud backups on a new phone?

The only way to access iCloud backups is to Erase all content and settings, go thru the setup assistant, and when prompted to restore from iCloud backup - choose that option.

  • My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black)...

    My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black).  Apparently the phone is so old that I am unable to install Backup Assistant on it, which sucks.  I have all my old contacts saved on my computer as a CSV and also another copy on a micro SD as VCF.  I have tried moving the CSV from my computer to my ENV2 via both Bluetooth and USB cable, but had no luck with either of those.  I also tried to pop the micro SD into the ENV2, and although I can load all my old pictures/videos/etc. from the micro SD, I do not seem to be able to restore the contacts from card.  I know there has to be some way to manually transfer these files; the contacts are still on my old phone as well; but I was unable to use the transfer wizard for that because my old phonedoesn't seem to be supported by that (Pantech Jester 2)

    Google a program called bitpim, that might do what you want.  Never used it but it's been talked about on the forums.  Other than that you might have to input them manually.  Mary

  • Trying to choose iCloud backup on my new phone as I lost my previous one but it states"no iCloud backups are compatible with this version" therefore I can't set up my replacement phone! Any suggestions

    You can't restore a backup that was made on a device running a more recent version of iOS.  If your replacement phone is running iOS 6.0.1 and the one you backed up was running 6.1.2, for example, you would have to update your replacement phone before you could restore to the backup.  If this is the case, update your phone by connecting it to your computer, and selecting Check for Update or Update on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, update the phone and set it up as New.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens again and choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  You should then be able to restore your backup.

    Hi there HotFerrari,
    It sounds like you are unable to restore your device from a backup you have in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

  • After restoring from backup on a new phone (same model, just replacement) all my apps are showing as waiting....I have sync'd but still without any joy - this has been going on for hours

    It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
    There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.

  • I am unable to restore from iCloud backup because the new phone has iOS 8.1.2 and the old phone has iOS 8.2? Any help.

    I Have just bought an iPhone 6 and want to restore my iPhone 4s via iCloud backup to the new iPhone 6. The setup of the iPhone 6 halted because according to the new phone it has iOS 8.1.2 whereas the backups were stored using iOS 8.2 following my updating of the iPhone 4S recently. How do I jump through this hoop? How do I update the new phone to iOS 8.2 without serring it up first? Anyone, please help?

    Update the new phone to the same version that has been used to create the backup. In your case, the new device has to run 8.2 to be able to use the backup made with the other device.
    Setting it back to factory settings will install the newest version and after that you can use the backup made under 8.2

  • I changed my appleID, it worked fine but now I can not restore icloud backup in a new ipad (old appleid does not work and it is grey colored so I'm unable to change it)

    Some months ago I changed my email address and so my appleID. Everything worked fine, but last week my ipad broke and when I tried to restore my icloud backup in my new ipad it does not work: it asks me for the password of the OLD appleID (it doesnt work); and in icloud configuration page the field for appleid is colored grey so I can not change it.
    any clues? thank you in advance

    My suggestion is to change apple id back. I know it is not something you want to hear, but there are suppose to be ways around it and usually they work, but not right now. I suspect that is consequences of Apple getting their servers ready for ios7. Normally in your situation - you should be able to get all your stuff back, but apps, and then you can sync those or download from icloud. But lately (last week) it does not seem to work normal way.

  • 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.

  • How do i download my last iCloud backup to my new phone?

    I am using iPhone 4S and my phone went to recovery mode while updating iOS 8.1
    Phone got started after a while and I am having backup of the phone in iTunes as well but unfortunately, I am not able to restore the backup!
    I have copied the backup from %appdata% -> Roaming to my external hard disk!
    So, is there any way to restore it from a new laptop while using my external hard disk?
    I would appreciate if someone will let me know the necessary steps!

    Really?  Why would you do that?
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your comptuer.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You should import any pics taken with iphoen to the new computer, as you would with any other digital camera.
    You can e-mail the pics that you synced to the iphone to yourself.  They will not be of the original quality.
    If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new comptuer, then when you sync, you should get the option ot merge the data.
    No backup is not good.

  • Sync icloud backup to my new phone?

    I recently upgraded my 3gs to iphone 4s, and I wanted to sync the data from my old phone to my new phone. Is there a way i can directly sync the data from the 3gs backup in the iCloud to the new 4s? It would save me a lotta trouble.

    Better to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone then setup iCloud.

    After you have transferred the data follow the instructions here >  Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.

    I logged into my account, then I synced all my songs onto the library using my iPod. All my songs are on there except the ones from CD's.
