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.

How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have any data on your iPod 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.

HT4859 How do you restore a backup from iCloud? My notes somehow disappeared and I can't figure out how to restore

My notes disappeared for some reason. How do I restore from iCloud? Went into backup but couldn't find an option for restoring! Help?

The backup will first restore you app data and other settings, it will then restart and restore your camera roll photos, apps and other purchased media.
If you're concerned about losing purchased media you can always transfer them to your iTunes librarry first. To do this, make sure your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase your media (in iTunes: Store>Authorize This Computer). Then connect your phone and in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. This way, should anything go missing you can always sync it back from iTunes.
iCloud should maintain your last three backups. You will be asked to choose which backup to restore to after choosing to restore to iCloud backup and signing into your iCloud account during the setup screens.

How do I restore iCloud mailboxes from Time Machine without losing new mail?

This morning when I opened my laptop and checked my email, Apple Mail decided to flag every single email in my three separate Apple-related accounts ([email protected],[email protected], and [email protected])—some 14,500+ emails total. None of the emails in my comcast or yahoo accounts were affected. Of course, each of the three accounts is set to download copies to my laptop as well as keep them on the server, so now all of those emails are flagged across the board—on my iMac, my iPhone, my iPad mini as well as my laptop. Yay. Since some of the emails were actually flagged intentionally by me over time, I don't want to just unflag everything or I'll lose my flags as well as the ones spontaneously generated this morning.
My questions are:
1) If I use a Time Machine backup from last night to restore the three affected mailboxes, will iCloud accept them as the de facto most up-to-date versions, or do I still have to go through some complicated process in order to convince the cloud that the 14,500+ unflagged emails don't then need to be "updated" to flagged status?
2) More importantly, will the cloud still sync properly so that I still get all of the emails that came since last night? I'm fine if the absence of the more recent emails from the "new" (actually older TM) mailboxes is interpreted as though they've been deleted, since my preferences are set to keep deleted email on the server for a month. But it would be a problem if those emails simply disappear into the ether.
3) Does anyone have any idea what might have caused the random flagging in the first place and/or suggestions for keeping it from happening in the future?
I remember vaguely that in the early days of Time Machine, restoring iCloud mailboxes was a complicated process in order to trick the cloud into accepting the Time Machine backup as the latest and greatest version. I take it that's no longer such a tricky proposition nowadays, since a search of Apple's knowledge base yielded little information on it. I'd appreciate some confirmation on that, however, so I know what to expect after the restore.
Thanks!
I'm going to try cross-posting this issue in both the iCloud and Time Machine forums since it's some of both. Apologies in advance if that causes confusion.

I set up an admin account for myself, logged on to it, and then followed the procedure in the help file to delete his account, saving it as a .dmg file. Then, when he asked for his old emails, I followed the procedure in the help file to restore a deleted user account and copied the contents of the .dmg into it.
I'm not entirely confident I got the restoration sequence right, since I find the order of steps in the help file confusing. But everything except the Mail data seems to be recovered.
Another source of trouble may be the email account settings: when I opened Mail under his log-on, there were no accounts set up: I recreated them using his email address and password, but Mail may well be treating these as new accounts, rather than re-opened old accounts.
Thanks, John

How do I restore Multiple backups in one iPhone?

I had recently purchased an iPhone 5S. Without syncing it with my computer I directly started using it and took and saved some photos & videos with it. I also own a iPod Touch 4th Gen 64GB and i wanted to transfer all my apps progress and data to my iPhone 5S. I first backed up my iPod to my computer and then i backed up my iPhone 5S. Now when i restored my iPhone with my iPod's backup all the apps and everything came properly, but the photos which I had taken from my iPhone were all removed and instead were replaced by the backup which contained all the photos and videos of my iPod. Is there a way I can put all the photos from my iPhone's backup without affecting the data currently on my iPhone?

Not directly. You could restore your iPhone 5s with the backup containing the photos you are looking for and then save them to Dropbox. Then restore the iPhone 5s to the iPod Touch Backup and load the photos from Dropbox.
