Settings > iCloud > Storage + Backup > Manage Storage > [Tap the unneeded backup] > Delete backup
Your new phone is already on the account if you're already signed into that iCloud account on it.

  • How to fix iTunes error 3014 when upgrading iPhone firmware

    Please helpme with this error. I purchased my iPod touch months ago and configured it perfectly. I decided to update it with my latest purchases from my iPhone 4G. I synced my iPhone successfully. When I went to sync my iPod Touch it just shows a picture of the USB cable pointing to iTunes. When I try to restore I get the message above. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

    How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

    You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
    If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

  • My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac.  We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes.  How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

    My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac.  We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes.  How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

    If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
    If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

  • How do I remove iCloud music function from iPhone?

    How do I remove iCloud music function from iPhone?

    Thanks, operative word here is hide.
    iTunes wants to keep music on the iPhone even after you want to clear it out and start over. I wish they had a "flush" function. At present after wiping it basically clean, down to one album, then checking the fill option, iTunes fills up the iphone with the same albums I just got rid of... I have a huge selection in my library to choose from. But it keeps returning to the same albums even though I have not checked them or artist. Frustrating.

    how do i view icloud documents on my iphone? I have an icloud account and can access documents via icloud.com but do i need to buy keynote for my iphone to view the documents? Or can I find them somewhere else?

    What is your MacOS X version?
    If you have iCloud enabled, and set it to share "Documents & Data" in your System Preferences > iCloud Tab, you should be able to see your pdfs stored in iCloud in the Preview application on your Mac.
    In Preview select the "iCloud" tab in the "File > Open" sceen:

    Do not try to backup directly before the restore. If you do, the backup will also have the passcode information. So if you restore that backup, you'll just put the passcode back on.
    The backup does not contain the passcode.  Restoring the backup does not put it back on the phone.

  • Encountered error 6  when upgrading Iphone 5s from 7.1.2 to 8.3

    I encountered error 6  when upgrading Iphone 5s from 7.1.2 to 8.3
    I've tried upgrade iphone on three computers , the results are all the same.
    One of the computers successfully upgrade my ipad to 8.3.
    There are 2GB left on IPhone 5S before I perform the upgrade.
    It should be enough for iTunes to finish the process, right?
    But in the log, it says  "copier_file_error: /mnt2/mobile/Library/PreinstalledAssets/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font.cpio: No space left on device"
    why is that?
    Any way for me to continue the upgrade?  it seems it's almost done.
    Thank you
    the end of the log  is as below:

    Hello there, Kenduck.
    It sounds like you are trying to update your iPhone 5s to the most current version of iOS and are getting an Error 6 message. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to that very error message:
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    Particularly:
    Check your security software
    Errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006.
    Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
    If you still see the error message, check for USB connection issues.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Kind Regards,
    Pedro.

    I might have omitted another requirement - sorry.
    You need the same number, and you have it. I think it also has to be with the same cellular carrier.

  • HT4859 how do i restore icloud backup to existing iphone not a new device

    how do i restore icloud backup to an existing phone not a new device

    You need to perform a reset (settings>General, scroll to bottom of screen).  This will delete everything on the device.  Then connect to iTunes and it will offer to perform a reset from either iTunes backup or iCloud.  Take it from there.

  • What happens to my iphone stuff stored in my icloud account when my iphone is reset or restored to factory settings?

    I've been researching how unwanted spyware can impact personal iphone usage. I understand - First iphone must've had a JailBreak happen then a spyware app downloaded, installed and activated for iphone to be compromised but no one has described how to determine IF your iphone HAS suffered an unwanted JailBreak attack or worse. (1) How can you determine if an unwanted JailBreak has actually happened to your iphone? Also, icons for the spyware can be hidden and the best advice I obtained to remove unwanted hidden apps completely was by doing a thorough cleaning using the reset to "Factory Settings" option. No doubts would exist after that cleansing. So going back to factory settings made sense to me until now. Formerly, I had no iCloud account with my previous iphone and now I do. My new upgraded iPhone, MacBook Pro and now my new Mini iPad are now linked together in my new iCloud account. If I were to do a reset to factory settings option then my best "guess" is that the unwanted hidden apps would be removed from my iCloud account too... WHEN... I did a clean backup with my reset cleaned device(s). (2) Is that reset cleaned device(s) backup scenario true? (3) What happens to my iCloud account when the "factory settings option" is activated and how are the linked devices unitedly impacted?

    iCloud does not store your apps in any case. The App Store simply recognizes that you have purchased the app in the past and allows you to re-download it onto any device which is signed into the same iTunes account. If you've managed to get an app on your iPhone by some other means then it is only on that one device. A Jailbreak can only happen if you initiated it yourself (unless the phone was second-hand, of course).
