I made a mistake when activating new iphone 5 from I cloud backup.

I made a mistake and did not do a current icloud backup on my 4s before activating my iPhone 5. I just wasnt thinking... I set up the iPhone 5 from an icloud backup that was 4 months ago... Now all of my text messages from after that are missing. I need a lot of the missing texts. Even though my 4s does not have any service all of the texts are still on it... Can I get all the missing texts on to my iphone 5??  Thanks!!

I just found this article:

  • How can I sign out from old icloud email on my device? I changed email recently and by mistake restored my new iphone 6 from old back up with email that doesn't exist. Pls help!

    I have changed i cloud email recently, and wanted to set up my new iphone 6 from 2 months old back up. Later I found out that icloud has old email, but it doesn't recognize password to sign out because it is not in i cloud system anymore. Now I cant turn off stupid icloud to reset my new iphone 6  
    How can I change icloud email or reset and erase new phone 6 if it is stuck on an old apple id which doesnt exist?

    The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
    If you don't remember the password, start here:

  • When restoring new iPhone 4S from old iPhone 3GS, Siri is gone

    OK. so I brought home my new iPhone 4S. I plugged it in and answered the questions, the synced it. Nice, apps are there but no data. OK. so get online, figure out that I need to restore from the backup of my previous phone to get my data. So I do that. Sweet, data is there, looks just like the iPhone 3gs. Well, to much like the iPhone 3GS. Siri appears to not be on the phone. I'm thinking, sync the phone. Return the phone to factory default, then sync it back. Will that work?

    To be clear...make sure you go into Settings/General, not just 'Settings'.
    Like a tard, I made this mistake and was looking for Siri a level up from where she was.

  • Trying to set up my new iphone 5s from the cloud

    Im trying to set up my new iphone 5s by restoring from the cloud. When I get to the "choose backup" screen, i try to choose my latest back up, but nothing happens. the wring is in gray and nothing happens when I touch it. the bottum of the screen says "No icoud backups are compatibel with the version of iOS(7.0.4) on this iphone) Please help. I can't use my phone and I need to make some calls.

    It sounds as if your new iPhone has iOS 7.0.4, but the backup was performed using iOS 7.1.  if that is the case, here is how to solve this:
    1.  Upgrade your new iPhone to iOS 7.1.  If it cannot yet get to Setitings, set is up as a new iPhone.  Then do Settings > General > Software Update.
    2.  Prepare to restore the iCloud backup.  The way to do this is to now do Settings > Gerneral > Reset > Erase all content and settings
    3.  Restore the iCloud Backup.  You will now be directed through the "Hello", set up WiFi, enter your Apple ID, and choose a backup.
    This will only work if your old backup used the same telephone number, cellular carrier, and Apple ID of the new iPhone.

  • New itunes wont restore new iphone 5 from old phones backup

    My new iphone 5 refuses to restore from a backup of my old 4S using i tunes (latest version).
    It recognises it as a new phone, asks where to restore from,
    It starts the restore then freezes indicating 1 minute left,
    this then turns into 2 minutes, 3 minutes 4,5,6, and on and on
    I have about 20G of music on the old phone and i cloud will only accept 5Gig
    Any advice
    Thanks in advance

  • I've just restored my new iphone 6 from my iCloud backup but only 2 of my music albums have been restored where are my missing albums

    II've just got an iphone 6 and set it up using my iCloud backup . Everything has restored perfectly except I've only got 2 of my music albums what has happened to the rest

    IIf you purchased them from iTunes then the missing albums May be in itunes on your computer. Make sure they are selected in the Music TSB and sync your iPhone. If you purchased them on your iPhone you can download them again. if you copied the missing albums from CDs that you own you should find the albums in your iTunes library.

    Hello, HenryWang2103.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The Safari, Email and Notes applications are native to the iOS and is unable to be deleted.  Since this is the case, they are either in a folder on the iPhone, on another page or Restrictions are enabled.  You can also search for these Apps on the iPhone by touching the screen and sliding your finger down.  Here is some information regarding these features.  The information about folders is located in the user guide below.

  • Activating new iPhone & downloading software

    Anyone else having issues activing new iphone because of iTunes software and Apple password? I keep downloading the new software on computer, but phone saying not loaded. And when I try to connect using Apple log-in & password, Apple is telling me I have been locked out and need to do password reset which I have done twice. I am not getting anywhere with this. Any suggestions?

    Contact your carrier.

  • Store clerk activated new iphone 4s before i backed up old iphone

    Is there anything I can do now to get my contacts, apps, photos etc? When I plug in my 4s it does not give me the option to restore from a previous backup.

    Select Restore under the Summary tab and when prompted, select from the backup for your old iPhone.
    Having the iPhone activated in the store should not have prevented being prompted to set the iPhone up as a new iPhone or from the backup of a previous iPhone the first time the new iPhone was connected to your computer.

    When you went back to the place where you purchased this phone, & asked them, what did they say?
    No one here can help you with this, nor can/will Apple. You need to take this up with whoever you purchased this phone from.

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
    System Preferences can also be found in the Hard drive -> Applications folder.
    Resetting the PRAM can help bring displays back to factory settings if you can't find what you need:
