I cant back up from icloud on new phone

I have got a new iphone 4s and backed up my old one with icloud. it is saying no icloud backups are compatible with the version od iOS (6.0.1) on this phone. can someone help?
is my only option to back up from itunes then?

You just need to setup your phone as new at first and upgrade ios to latest for that phone. once upgraded and it will take about an hour, you can erase phone and then restore from icloud backup.

How long to download info from icloud to new phone

Anyone have information on how long it could take to download information to a new iPhone from the iCloud. It has been an hour already. I am concerned I will be stuck between two phones with no phone tomorrow.

Back Up from original iPhone to Computer.. Then deactive original iPhone.
Connect & Activate new iPhone, then use the back up from your computer..
That's how I did mine to-day..Some Apps will not work.. Some will need downloading again..

HT201269 how do i restore from iCloud on new phone?

I have a new 4s that I got from the AT&T store.
They got me up and running by getting my contacts downloaded.
Now I've hooked up to iPhone to restore from iCloud.
Do I want to restore or do I want to back up?
I can't figure out how to get my music to migrate to my new phone.
I have backed up my old phone to the cloud.
I don't seem to be getting the automatic prompts all the articles talk about and I think it's because at the store they only did contacts.

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

How do I synchronise from iCloud onto new phone

Got a new iPhone 4S today I'd downloaded every thing to I cloud but now can't get it all on to my new phone. Can't get onto my emails and all photos lost help

If you upgraded from an older phone, restore the new phone to the backup of your old phone in order to transfer you data, settings, camera roll photos and videos, music, apps and other media to the new phone. If you are only trying to access the data you are syncing with iCloud, rather than restoring all your settings, etc., just go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, then turn on the data you wish to sync with iCloud (Mail, Calendars, Contacts, etc.). When you enable photo stream you will receive photos added in the last 30 days.

Hi, today I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5. I backed up and synced my data on itunes and icloud. My new iphone however reverted to my 2011 phone settings. how do i get yesterday's settings back and get my contacts and photos from icloud onto new phon

Just to give you a bit more detail. I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5 today. Last night I backed up and synced all my messages, photos and contacts on itunes and icloud. When I connected the new iphone 5 to itunes today, it somehow reverted back to my old phone settings from 2011 :S So now, I have apps, particularly games, that are incomplete. My contacts have numbers that are out of date and I have none of the photos that were taken in the past year. My 2012 messages are gone and old messages from 2011 are there. Now, all my phone data had been regularly stored and synced with itunes and icloud. So why did it revert back to 2011 phone settings and how can I get it to change to the settings that existed last night? Also all my information on icloud, how do I get that onto my new iphone? If I go on www.icloud.com and sign in, all my photos, contacts, mail and messages are there, but I have no idea how to transfer that to my new iphone 5. Any help on all of these issues would be appreciated, thanks.

In Regards to this, You possibly wont be able to get the contacts from the iPhone 4 unless there is a back up file on your computer.
The original phone would be disabled due to alot of attempts of the wrong passcode. If all your contacts are on the cloud at the moment, you would be able to just set the iPhone 4S up with iCloud on it then Turn On "Contacts".
This would be bring all the contacts down from your iCloud onto your 4S.
But you will only be able to merge your contacts with the cloud when your original iPhone either has been enabled or the passcode was entered.
If you have previously already had iCloud on that device and have contacts Turned on, you will be able to just enter the same Apple ID you used for iCLoud on your original phone and use it on your new one.
Your able to check what content your iCloud holds via www.icloud.com
If you are unable to get past the disabled screen, then unfortunately the device will have to be put into recovery mode and then restored via iTunes NOTE: This will delete all data.

I am setting up my new iPhone 5s with back up from iCloud but only my expired applied is recognised. even though i put in the original correct password it is not accepted as message comes up that "your apple id or password is incorrect". I am stuck.

I am setting up my new iphone 5s using a back up from icloud. Problem arises when asked for Apple id and password the second time for store purchases. It shows my old expired Apple id (my old email address). There is no option to change the id and even when I put in the correct password for the old id (used originally) it kicks me out with the message ""Your Apple ID or password is incorrect" .. this is true as my apple id is wrong but I cant change it. Anyone know what I should do. Dont have access to my old deleted email account. Thanks

Hello jwpg,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing after restoring an iCloud backup. I recommend the following articles for an issue like this:

I set up new phone (5) as a "new phone instead of backing up from icloud. How can I get back in to use the icloud backup? If I hit "delete account" does that just clear the new phone or does it get rid of my whole icloud account.

In the set-up process I clicked "set up as new phone" when I should have clicked "back up from icloud". I can't use itunes for the back up as it is not current. Is there a way to get back into setup? If I click "delete accout" in icloud management will it clear just my phone (so I can start over) or will it actually delete my icloud?

Settings>General, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Reset, choose to delete all data. Then attach to itunes and choose to perform a restore. You'll get the option to restore from icloud.

When you purchase another apple product, which set up do you use? New, back up from iCloud or iTunes?

Which set up do I use when another apple product is purchased? New, back up from iCloud or iTunes?

It depends on if it is a replacement for an older device. If so, then set-up as new from backup.
If you are using both devices, they can be set up as separate devices, yet sync information through your iCloud account.

My new ipad won't back up from iCloud

I just got a new iPad wi-fi/4G LTE and for some reason it won't back up from my iCloud account. When I'm setting up my new iPad it says no back ups available even though I have my old iPad set to receive back ups from iCloud.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

Bought a new 4s and need to transfer photos from iCloud to new device. iCloud is giving me an old @me address. I do not have the email or pw for the iCloud account. How do I retrieve this information? Thanks.

If you need to change the iCloud ID on your new phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

After I restored my ipad I chose itunes restore. now how can I get my info of which is backed up from icloud?.

hi all!
Reseting ipad, we are asked to restore info from icloud or itunes. If we choose icloud, the info will be restored, but the apps on the ipad should be downloaded from app. store! because icloud can't save the applications. and If we choose to restore with itunes, the apps will be loaded quickly ,But still we need our info in icloud. and if we go to icloud backup , from ipad settings, we just have one choice: back up now! that backs up the new info, not our backed up info. but we need our backed up info.
After I restored my ipad I chose itunes restore. now how can I get my info of which is backed up from icloud?

My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes
This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
That's not quite what it said. Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

HT4847 I backed up my iphone 2 days ago via icloud. I now have restored my iphone to the factory settings and I need to retrieve the data that I backed up 2 days ago from icloud. My phone is only giving me an option to back up from my ipad icloud. Please

Please Help
I had lost all the music on my iphone a while back and wanted to put it back on but my PC is a dinosaur and couldn't handle the sync without taking days. I decided to give it a go anyway. I tried to sync but kept getting an error message saying "waiting for changes to be applied". I looked up a solution to this problem and I saw that I should restore the phone to factory settings which I did. I then tried to sync again and it worked! .....the downside was that it took forever and I was without a phone for 36 hrs while I waited for sync to complete. It was at 662 0f 771 last night when I went to bed and when I awoke this morn, syncing had ceased and my phone was still erased of all data.
I am thinking now that everything was done and all I needed to do was turn off my phone and turn back on again but in a panic I selected an option on the phone to back up from icloud (as I knew I had done a backup 2 days ago). The only option available was "ipad backup" from over a week ago and stupidly I selected this option. It was successful but my contacts, mail, messages, photos and most importantly my notes and reminders are gone!!!
I have now restored the phone back to factory settings again.
WHAT DO I DO NEXT??

I went back to iOS 7 and my backup file is restoring but when its done nothing is on my phone still and only takes 11-15 minutes to restore the backup instead of taking 25+ minutes like usual so I guess the backup is corrupted. How can I fix this?

After updating to IOS 8.2 my iphone 5 constantly searches for a network. I have tried resetting network, restoring from an earlier back up, resetting as a new phone - all of which have been unsuccessful- HELP !!

Hi chuckrabaw,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPhone is searchiong for a network. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. There are a few steps listed in this article you did not mention trying, they may be able to help the issue.
If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Cheers,
