HT4859 Restore icloud backup to existing device

I need to learn how to restore my backed-up photos to my existing iPad from icloud.  Can anyone help me?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

    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.

  • HT4859 I forgot to click Restore from iCloud Backup on new Device.

    I forgot to click Restore from iCloud Backup on new Device, and then signed in on the Cloud with the same Apple ID I used to create the Cloud on my old iPhone.  Can i still access my CLoud backup for apps, photos, etc.?

    You'll have to start over by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go back through the setup screens again and this time choose Restore from iCloud backup (see image below).  Note: your iCloud account and iCloud data will still be in your account and will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.  You also may want to connect your device to your charger as restoring from backup can take some time to complete.

  • Cant restore icloud backup

    I lost my old iphone 4s and got a warranty replacement iphone 4s. However when I tried to restore a recent backup I made to the cloud it said that I could not do it because the old backup was on an older ios and the new phone was on a new ios. Is there any way that I can somehow restore this backup? Also I don't have any backups to itunes.

    You must have read the error message incorrectly.  You can always restore a backup to a device running a newer version of iOS than the device that was backed up.  If your replacement phone is running the same or newer version of iOS as your old phone, you can restore the backup as explained here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.  If it isn't, update it to the latest iOS and then restore the backup.

    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.

  • Can I restore from iCloud backup to another device?

    My iPod touch 4G logic board snapped in half after soldering it. If I buy a new iPod touch 4G or repalce the logic board can I restore all my purchases to that device or to that new logic board?
    Do you also know where can I purchase a 4th generation logic board for a cheap price? My friend is planning on buying me a logic board of ebay for a cheap price, but there's no guarantee that he'll get it because he's up against a bot. Hopefully it isn't a bot.

    - Yes you can restore you replacement iPod from the iCloud backup of the old i{Pod.  Just restore via wifi from the backup and all the iTunes purchases and spme other stuff will be retored to the replacement iPod. You will have to reenter passwords and other keychain items since those are only restored to the same device.
    - That is how I set up my new iPhone 4S. I restored it at the Apple store via wifi from my 4G iPod touch. No problems.
    - I know of no good places for replacement parts.

  • HT4859 Recover iCloud backup

    I have lost my photos from my iPad. My backup on iCloud is old so should have some of those photos in it. How do I restore the backup to this existing device?

    Troubleshooting an iCloud backup issue can take some time.  Since you're pressed for time right now here's what I recommend you do:
    Perform a manual backup to your computer using iTunes instead of iCloud.  To do this, connect your phone to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up.  When complete, go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and confirm that the backup is listed.
    Sync you phone with iTunes to transfer all your purchases to your iTunes library.
    Back up your contacts separately using the free app My Contacts Backup (paid version if >500 contacts).  This will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  If necessary, you can later open the email and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts to your computer.
    Import your photos to your computer for safekeeping as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    When you get your replacement phone, during the initial setup, when given the option, select Restore from iTunes Backup.  (This will restore much faster than an iCloud backup anyway.)  When complete, sync it with iTunes to transfer your apps, music and other iTunes media to your phone.  If your contacts don't restore from backup (which they often don't), open the email you made earlier and tap the attachment to import your contacts.  Set up your existing iCloud account on your new phone during setup then turn you data syncing for contacts, calendars, etc. to On; if prompted when you do this, choose Merge.
    This should get your new phone fully restored with your data and iCloud account.  Then you can try backing it up to iCloud again and see if it succeeds this time.  If not, try deleting your most recent iCloud backup and try again.  If it still fails, post a new question and we'll take things from there.

  • TS4036 icloud backup to new device is not working as says I dont have enough storage, even although the backup is only 3GB out of my 5GB (giving more than 1GB available!)???

    back up from icloud to new device is not working as it is saying that I dont have enough storage, when I am only trying to use 3GB out of my 5GB allowance???

    I may misunderstand your post - you "backup TO icloud" or restore from icloud to a new device.  Not sure which of these you mean.
    If backing up TO icloud, the problem may be that there's not enough storage on your device, not icloud, as a device needs a good bit of storage to create the backup.
    If restoring from icloud to a new device and you get the error, the storage referenced must be that on the device, although that doesn't seem possible, since a device has more memory than 5GB.

  • Is it possible to restore iCloud backup from iPhone3 to iPhone4 ?

    I had an iPhone 3 which had an hardware error, but I have an older iCloud backup of it.
    Now I got a used iPhone4 from a friend of mine, which he "cleaned" before he gave it to me.
    This is the first time I got to use this service - thank god I made an iCloud backup before my old iPhone died.
    Now I want to know if it is possible to restore my old iPhone 3 backup on my iPhone 4.
    Maybe there are some problems, because of different iOS (6 vs 7) or different hardware?
    Did the iCloud backup include my previously installed apps, or do I have to download them again? What about SMS - included or not?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Yes, you can.  The only requirement is that the device you are restoring the backup to must be running the same or higher version of iOS as the device that was backed up.  If it isn't, you'll need to update the iOS before you can restore the backup.
    An iCloud backup will reinstall apps that were on the device that was backed up by redownloading them from the App store.  As long as the apps are still available in the App store they will be redownloaded, although if the device that was backed up had an older version of an app, the most recent version of the app is likely to be restored to your device.

    Can you actively initiate a backup through icloud rather than passively?

  • 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.

  • Can I restore from backup to new device without SIM

    I have a 4s and should be receiving my new iPhone 6 tomorrow. I plan to hand down my 4s to my son who currently has a 3gs.
    Can I backup my 4s, then setup my new iPhone 6 by using that 4s backup BEFORE I call in to AT&T and have them transfer my line over to the new phone?
    Also, if after I do that, I reset my 4s (to factory settings), then can I set it up with iTunes to restore from my son's 3gs backup, then call AT&T to migrate his number over to the 4s?
    I know this sounds confusing, it does to me.  Basically what I'm asking is do I need to first put in the new SIM and tell AT&T, THEN restore from the backup, or can I do all that first, then set it up with AT&T.
    Thanks!

    You are working with 3 different SIM card sizes. All three take a different size SIM. Once you stop service on your 4S, that SIM is disabled. You would need a new SIM for the 4S. While you could backup and the 3GS and restore that to the 4S, and you could activate it with the disabled SIM, you couldn't transfer his service to that SIM, he would need a new one from AT&T. You can backup the 4s and restore the 6 to that one. The time you call is not important, except that you may not be able to complete the activation of the new device after restoring the backup until you call and activate the SIM that came in the iPhone 6. Check with AT&T and they can help. If you have a corporate store in your area, you will be able to get all of that done in-house.

  • Restoring iCloud Backup

    I need to restore an iCloud backup from May 2012 as it contains a couple of videos that I have since accidentally deleted. Is it possible to view which backuos are still retained in my iCloud account?
    I restored my iPhone 4s but could only see a couple of recent iCloud backups.
    My iCloud backup backup file size is 1.4GB and my current camera Roll size is 405 mb so I'm hoping that the videos are still retained in old backup files?
    Any help would be much apreciated
    Thanks

    I have an old apple ID that I set up for mac.com when I got my Mac book pro in 2007.  The ID expired when my temporary use of Mac.com ran out. Now I upgraded to iOS 5 and when trying to sync my iPhone 4 to my Mac book it won't sync 17 of my tunes and says they will be lost.  I figured the 17 tunes must have been bought under my old expired Apple ID.   So I tried using the expired Apple ID.  Since I forgot the password to the old Apple ID I had to reset it.  I never got the reset email. I saw an unknown email address (partially redacted) during the reset process and it looks like Apple sent my reset email to another email address that I never had.  Has Apple lost track of our email address records?
