I am switching from an iphone 4s to a 5s. When I try to restore from icloud and then choose a backup, it tells me "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS on this iphone." How can get into my new phone to update?

UUpdate the new iphone to iOS 8.3 before you try to restore the backup.

Trying to back up iCloud from a lost iPhone 5 to a new one but Choose backup option says "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (7.1) on this iPhone" previous phone was at version 8.1.3

I recently lost my iPhone 5 and purchased a refurbished one on line, I'm trying to backup by iCloud to the new phone but when I get to the "Choose backup" screen I'm told "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version (7.1) on this iPhone". My previous iPhone had up to version 8.1.3. Now I'm stuck in the backup screen and can't get back to settings. How can I finish the backup and how do I get out of backup mode to possibly update to the version I need?

Hi AppleRobertion,
What you are going to need to do here is update your iPhone's version of the operating system to a version at least as new as the one on your backup - iOS 8.1.3. To do this, follow the directions in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Specifically -
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Once the update is complete you should be able to restore from your backup.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,
Brett L

My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, update first, Settings > General > Software Update.
Then 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.

TS4036 I've got a new iPad I'm trying to do an iCloud back up but keep being given the following message: no iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (6.1.3) on this iPad. How do I restore I cloud on my new device?

I've got a new iPad and am trying to do an iCloud backup but keep getting the following message: no iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (6.1.3) on this iPad.
How do I restore info from iCloud onto my new device?

You would have to update your device first, before you can restore your iPad from your backup. Resolution: set it up as anew device, then update your device to the latest version "Settings > General > Updates", then reset your device again "Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings" and then after the iPad restarts again, choose to restore your device from your backup.

Im trying to set up my new 5s from a icloud backup on my 4s. when i my 4s backup is gray and i get msg: "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (7.0.6) on this phone. 4s iOS is 7.1 with no update available

Trying to set up new 5s from icloud backup on 4s. when i select "restore from backup" the current backup on my 4s (today) is gray and cannot be selected. the msg on the bottom: "No icloud backups are compatible with the version of ios (7.0.6) on this phone. 4s ios is 7.1 with no updates available. help?

You will have to first update your new iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1 before you can use your iPhone 4s backup.
Set it up as new, do the update (Settings > General > Software Update) and then re-enter setup by erasing the phone (settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings).

HT4859 what does it mean if my new iphone says that iCloud backup are compatible with the version of iOS (6.0.2) on this iblePhone

I am trying to back up my fiels from old iPhone 3S to the new one I have just bought using iCloud and when I am doing it, my new iphone 5 is writing thet iCloud back-up are compatible with the version of iOS (6.0.2) on this iPhone. What does it mean?

I just worked on this same issue for someone else at work (iPhone 4 or 4S up to date). The iPhone 5 needs to be up to date to the newest version of IOS
Here is what I did:
1. Got into the iPhone 5 without using an account
2. After getting in, it shows that there is an update
3. Completed the update
4. After the phone rebooted, went in and completed a reset of the phone to factory
5. When it came back up followed prompts and was able to restore from iCloud backup.
Hope this helps

I am trying to restore a new iPad from iCloud but it is saying there 'are no iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (6.0) on this ipad' my previous back ups had been iOS 6.1.2

Please help

I think that imobl hit the nail on the head.
The OP is trying to restore an iOS 6.1.2 backup on his new iPad that is only running 6.0. You can't restore from a newer iOS backup to an older iOS. The OP has to update the new iPad to iOS 6.1.2 and then it will work.

TS4036 im trying to back up my phone but it is saying (no icloud backups are compatable with the version of ios on this phone what do i do?

i got a new phone and im trying to restore it thru icloud backup restore but its telling me that its not compatiable but i cant get to the new version what do i do?

You'll have to update the phone in iTunes on your computer in order to access your backup.
Connect the new phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab, then click Check for Update and update your phone. (If you get a pop-up when you connect to iTunes to update, go ahead and update.) After updating the phone, set it up as a new iPhone, disconnect it from your computer, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Sign into your iCloud account and your backup should now be available to restore from.

My MacBook Pro internal speakers sound like they are playing through the headphone jack, why is this? How can I fix it?

Periodically, the sound from my MacBook Pro speakers cuts out to where it sounds as if I am just blasting music through a pair of headphones. The start up sounds and even some normal sounds coming from my computer are at the regular balanced speaker level. I sometimes use external speakers and have not had this problem with them. This has been happening more and more lately, and for longer periods of time. I'm running 10.7.5

What frame rate/frame size/codec did you record?
How did you transfer it into FCX?

I am having the same problem with a new phone. Is yours new? I was planning to take this one back to the store where I purchased it. I updated itunes and phone software, didn't help, so I'm thinking it's a hardware problem.

I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded": 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
You may need to add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.[...]".What can I do?

I must run a 32-bit programe on a windows 64-bit operating sistem, and i receive this message:"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.[...]". I tried with Troubleshoot compatibility - didn't
work. I tried set to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP in file properties window and it didn't work. What can I do more? I
must run this programe to acces my database.

Hello qqnicol,
What program do you run?
Please contact the software provider to confirm if this 32-bit program can run in 64-bit Windows.
As some programs can only run in specific version of Windows, please download the right version of software.
Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.
Device drivers designed for the 32-bit version of Windows don't work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows too.

Windows desktop application -- version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running

I am developing on 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise using VisualStudio 2013. I created a new Windows desktop VB.net application and just created a release build of the default solution/project targeting "Any CPU". I provided the EXE to a
colleague who is also running 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise but receives the following error...
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see
whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
I changed the build configuration to create a "x86" build but my colleague received the same error. Any ideas why this would be happening (I checked and my colleague has .Net4 Framework installed as well)? Thank you for your time and
response!

Hi sunisha,
According to your description, you'd like to run the application in your colleague's computer.
I provided the EXE to a colleague who is also running 64-bit Windows7 Enterprise but receives the following error...
If you want to test the application, you could provide the whole Debug folder to colleague instead of the single exe.
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
Check if the collegue's computer is running 64-bit windows:
Enter Control Panel, click on System and Security.
Under this, you can view the system type. This will describe whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit.
You can also try compatiblity mode.
If the program is not compatible, then you may try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
1)   Right click on the Program
2)   Click on Properties
3)   Click on Compatibility tab
4)   Select Run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever operating system the program was running successfully.
And if you still have questions, I suggest you deploy the application to the Local Network with clickOnce, then your collegue can install the application from the network.
#ClickOnce deployment

And also, you could recreate a new small application in your computer in Any CPU, then check if this small new application can work well in your colleague's computer. This can judge if the problem is caused by your application.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Bootcamp support drivers "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running"

Hi,
I've searched everywhere I can think of for a solution to this problem with no success. I see other people have reported similar issues and these have not yet been resolved.
I have installed Windows 7 32 bit on a new Mac Mini under Bootcamp. When I go to install the Bootcamp drivers in Windows, I get the message "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running".
Other people have reported this issue when trying to install 3rd party software on a 64 bit version of windows but I'm simply trying to install the Bootcamp drivers on a 32 bit version of Windows.
Is it possible the Mac Mini needs a 64 bit version of Windows installed under Bootcamp? I haven't seen this requirement mentioned anywhere.
Appreciated all and any help that can be offered.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because the Late 2012 iMac and Mac mini only supports the 64-bit Windows 7 version, so the drivers you downloaded are designed to work with the 64-bit version and you can't install them on a 32-bit version. Install the 64-bit Windows 7 on your computer
