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.

HT4859 How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone. If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so. Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

Trying to restore from icloud backup to new phone

I have just bought a new phone as old one was damaged. I am trying to restore from icloud backup. when it asks for a rescue email address it won't accept the address I am submitting even though it is not any of the addresses that are already registered with icloud as apple id, alternate or rescue emails. this has happened with two different email addresses now, neither of which icloud have a previous record of. not sure what to do now!

You actually have to go through extra steps of setting up your phone as new, updating and then erasing and restoring from that back up.

HT201269 I restored from iCloud after purchasing new iphone 5s today. However none of 5s phone features nor apps are showing nor are they seen in settings. Plus my App Store is currently using 894mB of data. Can anyone help????

I had read to "restore" not the option to set up new device. Oh also my "messages" data is very high even after I deleted nearly all of them

If you simply would have posted here first, there are plenty of people who would have informed you of the current policy to have a data plan active on an account during the entire contract if purchasing a discounted smartphone.
Unfortunately, there are just as many on here who would claim the people informing you about this policy of being Verizon plants spreading disinformation and trying to make people afraid to upgrade via this route.
Yes this is a new policy, one which has been pointed out multiple times in these forums. Good luck, but I doubt you will have an outcome over this which will make you happy.
Verizon is closing as many loopholes to keep unlimited data as they can.

My iPhone 6 Plus won't restore from iCloud Backup

I had backed up my iPhone 5S nightly, including an hour before I got into the apple store to get my 6 Plus. It will not restore from iCloud to the new phone, no matter which of the old backups I choose. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you solve it?

Yes, yes & yes, I am on my home wi-fi & have tried on a personal wi-fi hotspot while out, I had enough iCloud space before, but after deleting my last backup I've got loads & my phone stopped automatically backing up, so have been trying using the backup now button.

HT4859 i couldn t find option restore from icloud

i couldnt find option restore from icloud for my new iphone5

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

Restore from iCloud backup. Pictures missing and ones there are blurry?

I went to the Apple Store and got a new phone so they went and did a restore from backup from iCloud. So, everything was fine and I went home and my apps were there. I look and only 900/1,700 photos transferred from iCloud onto the new device. Although, I have no more room on iCloud so they may still be there but because there is not enoguh wiggle room in the cloud for them to download, they cannot be pushed to the device. Or, more likely, my photos may be gone because the "genius" at Apple had wiped my phone so I'm not sure if my backup is still available or if it just says that it is. And, the 900 pictures that did transfer are all blurry and wont unblur so what should I do? Should I buy more storage and then restore this phone and restore from the previous iCloud backup? Help please

First of all, treat your device like a camera - always sync photos to a computer for archiving. Many users have lost photos doing a restore from iCloud, and this is generally due to several reasons: only photos in the camera roll are backed up, and (it seems) iCloud messes up often enough when backup/restore is used.

My ipad 2 pictures were restored using iCloud. How do I delete those pictures from my iPad?

My ipad 2 pictures were restored using icloud. How do I delete those pictures?

Photos restored from iCloud are photos in the camera roll, those photos can be removed via the trash can icon. Open the camera roll. Tap on all of the photos that you want to delete, tap the trash can icon in the upper left to get the delete option.
You can also go through each photo in slideshow mode and tap the trash can icon at the bottom to get the delete option.

HT4859 I recently restored from iCloud backup,why weren't my pictures restored?

Just wondering why my photos weren't restored,when I restored my iPad from iCloud backup?

It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors. You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing. You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore. You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup). Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

Did you tap "Show older backups" on the Choose Backup screen (see image below)?

TS4036 My old iPhone got damage and sprint changed it when I try to restore from iCloud I don't have the option to choose the latest back up instead it restored a version that is like 192 days old. How can I see the restore that I want?

Hello
Today I got my iPhone 4s changed from sprint and when I enter my icloud information it gives me an old backup (196 days old) and I back up automatically all nights , there was no choice to select which one I wanted or anything. So I ended up loosing a lot of important information, all the pictures and everything that I did the past 196 days. I try to see if there is a place on the web that the back up data is displayed but I haven't found anything. I have a lot of important information on icloud, to the extend that I even pay for more space because I use the iPhone as part of my work. Can someone please explain to me what has happen and if there is a way that I can recover my information? I am desperate it is very important. Thank you very much!

Once in a while the restore process seems to mess up. What I don't understand is why you would perform a weekly restore.
At any rate, if you must restore, perform a device reset (settings>general>reset) and then you will have the opportunity to restore from iCloud. Restore a device whenever it no longer works correctly, not just as a matter of maintenance. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I don't want to restore photos from icloud onto my new iphone

Hi there,
I had an iPhone 4 and just got a new 5c. I backed up my 4 to icloud as i dont't own a laptop. I bought 20GB of storage and everything seemed to work. When I set up new iPhone i selected 'Restore from iCloud Back up' as I need old contacts on this new phone HOWEVER, I do not want all photos on new phone as I donot have enough space and they will fill up my memory. They are already in my iCloud so I shouldn't need them on new phone. I didn't see any option to just restore data rather than media and so photo stream is downloading constantly but wont finish as there is not enough space on phone. How can I just restore contacts to new phone and not pictures? My other option could be to set up as new iphone, but if I do this can I then download the contacts from my icloud seperately?
Going slowly insane.

You can't restore only part of the backup. Only camera roll photos are stored in the backup and they will have to be restored as part of restoring the entire backup. Photo stream photos are not stored in the backup; photo stream photos from the last 30 days will stream to your new phone when it signs into your iCloud account. You can stop this by turning off my photo stream in Settings>iCloud>Photos.
The other thing you should be aware of is that you can't have photos in iCloud that are not also on your phone. If you delete them from your phone, they will be deleted from iCloud.

Restore from icloud - got images only low resolution an most missing

I got a new iPhone, my last one was crashed from a car. I had backup from the last iPhone by WLAN to iCloud only. No Backup via iTunes local. After restoring I got only 350 Images of the 805 images i had. And these 350 images are only in very low resolution. Strange: At "Information" my iPhone says that there are 805 images on the phone ... but where?? ... and where is the quality gone? Any idea someone? Thank you in advance ... Matt.

There have been countless reports of users restoring from iCloud only to find their pictures gone. There have been no solutions that I know of. The general suggestion is always to sync pictures to a computer (to iPhoto on macs or to a designated folder on PCs). Don't rely on iCloud for that.

Iphone 6 been restoring from icloud backup for 9 days and still not finished?

I got my iPhone 6 on the 19th when it came out. It's an ATT 128 gb model. I started restoring from icloud backup on that Friday (9 days ago). It still is saying it's restoring from backup. Daily it's asking me to delete the data or keep downloading. This phone is for my business, so the info is very important. I am also worried that all the things in the last week have yet to be backed up since then, because I can't back it up till the restore is complete. I also can't do the new software update 8.0.2. I am on a fast WIFI nearly 18+ hours a day and I can surf the net just fine, but why is my restore from 9 days ago still not finished?

Apple:
This needs to get improved. I had the exact same issue migrating my 5 and wife's 5S previously. It's never worked well. We need status bars, and indications of what has been copied, what remains to be copied, and ways to resume it and pause it without hoping it works and getting messages in the morning asking if you want to resume it, making you wonder if anything actually occurred overnight. The message doesn't pop up within 10 minutes of connecting to power and wi-fi so I have no idea how long it actually takes to come up.
It's unacceptable to think any device owner wants to roll the dice and hope they have all their data. We use these devices for our jobs and that data is critical for some of us. It's not all just pictures of the dog! Even though those are critical, too!! It would be different if this wasn't a known issue and the resolution wasn't so easy...get this fixed!!!
