I have my current iPhone backed up onto iCloud but it also has my old iPhone on there as well. My new phone has all the data from my old iPhone on, so can I delete the old iPhone from the iCloud as its taking up memory? Thank you
Sorry I wrote the question in the title!!
I have my iPhone 4 and my new iPhone 5 on my iCloud storage. It's now nearly full as it still has my old phone on it.
If I delete the phone from iCloud memory it won't delete the data from me new phone that was originally backed up from the old phone
Via the cloud?
Thank you very much!
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. If you don't need your old phone's backup, you can remove it. Open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, select the old device backup and delete it.
The new iPhone backup won't be deleted and you will keep everything on the new phone

Sorry you can't. Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.
future reference import your pics to your PC, that way you can always sync it back using itunes

HT201269 I've just got a new phone and all my music from my old phone isn't working.
The list of available music is shorter, for a start, so I don't know where it's all gone. But even the songs that are there won't play. When I push play, it just skips past as if there's no file to read. And then the same for the next song and the next.... It won't play any song in the list.
What's going on and how do I fix it?With a new device you need to apply some sync settings as in your case it would be music. The link below can provide you with some info on this:

Once sync settings have been applied your iPhone should sync data automatically based on the settings that have been applied.
Hope this helps -

I have a new PC - great. But my iTunes library has now gone with the old PC. With a new iTunes library how do I get all my data from my iPhone to a new copy of iTunes on the new PC?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Have you failed to do this? -
I have lost all my data from my iphone during synchronisation. Can anyone help me?
You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

Why does my I-Phone 4 tell me that it can't back up onto i-Cloud as it has run out of storage space, but when I look at i-Cloud storage it tells me I have 4.7GB out of 5GB available?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you checked how much space the backup will need. -
i just plugged my iphone in to download some pix to my computer and my phone is now showing a plug with the itunes icon and its telling me I have to restore my phone and will lose all my data. *** is going on and how can I go back?
"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one. -
ok, so I transferred my 3S info to my 4S by restoring from an old phone backup. But SIRI is gone and god knows what else?? Can I get my old stuff into the new phone and keep the 4S new functionality?
I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

My iPhone recently broke so I was sent a brand new iPhone to replace it, however, since receiving this phone, I cannot access anything which was previously backed up onto iCloud from my last iPhone. Please help me!
If you are trying to restore to an iCloud backup, this has to be done during the initial setup process. If your phone is already set up, you will have to go back to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content & Settings, then go back through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to complete.
Also, your replacement phone must be running the same iOS version or higher to restore to your backup. If you are running an older version of iOS than the device that was backed up, your backup will not be visible when you choose to restore to your iCloud backup. If this is the case, you'll have to update your replacement phone first. -
I purchased an audiobook from iTunes On my iPhone. I got a new phone and after the back up, the books I downloaded were not there. iTunes wants me to repurchase the books I downloaded. Is there a way for me to Redon load my already purchased books?
Hi..
On your new iPhone tap Settings > Store.
Make sure Books is turned ON.
You shouldn't need to re purchase the book > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
