Icloud storage for new phone

I just switched from the 4s to the 5s and on the 4s I had bought additional icloud storage but now the 5s says I dont have enough storage to backup.  I can;t imagine I need to pay another $20 to upgrade because I switched phone but not sure how I switch to the new phone so I can back up.
Thanks

Be sure you are using the same Apple iD for iCloud that you used on the old device. Did you remove the old device backups from iCloud?

  • ICloud storage for new photos app

    iI've just updated Yosemite and the new photos app is asking me to upgrade my storage, now if I do this will it upload all my photos on my iMac to the cloud including external drives connected to my iMac?

    Are you certain?
    From Get started with Photos for OS X - Apple Support
    "If you change your System Photo Library, the contents of this new library will be merged with the contents already in iCloud."
    But presumably this merge is two-way i.e. the contents already in iCloud will then be merged into the new System Photo Library? It's not clear, but that's how I understand it.
    In any case, http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/comments/announcing_powerphotos may well offer library merging in a post 1.0 release.

    New phone: lost old phone in a fire. How can I access my photos on iCloud from my old phone? In settings I see the storage for BOTH phones. They are separate but same account. Can I access iCloud through PC or is the info now useless since phone is gone?

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price.

    I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price, but it doesn't gives me the option of 20G for $0.99 a month.
    How can I get 20g for $0.99 a month?
    Thanks!

    Katherine,
    have you read the message in the panel? Something is wrong with your credit card. Perhaps you have to enter a new date of expiration.
    In the small print it says, there is still a purchase, that needs paying,"Ugly Heart" with an amount of R 9.99. And "We were unable to authorise your credit card for this purchase".  You will first have to update your Billing Information before you can proceed to make a new purchase for upgraded storage.  Click "Account Details" in the iCloud panel.
    -- Léonie
    If you cannot fix the account from the iCloud panel, open iTunes and sign into the "Store" menu, Then use the "Store > View account" item there to check for problems with your Billing Information.

  • HT1766 When I setup my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently entered wrong email address for apple id.  I cannot verify the email sent.  I have a new apple id, but can neither use nor delete the iCloud account.  How do I get an iCloud account for this phone?

    When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id.  I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account.  I cannot delete it either.  How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?

    You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account.  I cannot delete it either. ".
    Why can't you verify it?
    Do you not receive the verification email address?
    If problem contact iTunes by:

  • How do I get a new icloud account for my phone when it was setup with my wifes account?

    How do I get a new icloud account for my phone when it was setup with my wifes account?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and sign out. Any synced data, such as calendars and contacts, will be removed.
    To get a new ID: go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - you will need a different non-Apple email address from any ID you already have.
    Then go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in there, enabling any data types you want to sync in the list there. You will be asked to create a new @icloud.com address when enabling Mail.

    Can I share my iCloud storage with my wife? I'm interested in using the storage for both phones, hers and mine.

    You will not want to do that and you should just have two 5GB free accounts.
    Too much risk of merging or losing data.

    Hey Hindfromlondon,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.  Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.  
    You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud.  See:
    Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
    And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
    What is an Apple ID?
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
    and further down:
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. 
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Regarding iCloud storage check out

    I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.

  • I purchased additional storage for my phone not realizing it was storage for icloud. Can I get a refund?

    I purchased additional storage for my phone not realizing it was storage for icloud. Can I get a refund?

    You cannot buy additional storage for your iphone at all.
    You can contact itunes support and ask if they will allow a refund.

  • HT201077 My Iphone 4s was replaced by the Apple store today. I previously backed everything up to Icloud. I'm downloading everything from Icloud onto the new phone. The pictures seem to have stalled on number 215 for the past hour or so.

    I had my I phone 4s replaced today at the Apple store. I previously backed it up on ICloud. I'm downloading from ICloud to the new phone. The pictures have been stuck on number  215 for an hour now. I've turned the phone off and on several times, but it won't progress in downloading the pictures. This happened the last time the phone was replaced and there was something I could do to get things moving, but I don't remember what?

    Then you'll have to decide when you think it's hung and unlikely to restart.  At that point, you'll probably have to reset it (by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release) and try restoring the backup again.
    The only "solution" I've seen posted on photos that fail to restore from a backup that seems to have worked for others, is the on posted by ezjules here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  If you restore the backup again, you could give it a try and see if it works for you.

        Never fear, help is here Bnewell! I would be delighted to review options for you. Have you recently utilized VZW Cloud? If so, the remaining 10MB could be used with the items that you've backed up. Do you see an indicator for current available memory? Please keep us posted, thanks!

  • HT4859 How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    Restoring an iCloud backup requires you to first erase your iPad.  If you have any newer data that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iPad backup.

  • I subscribed  iCloud storage for 10Gb cost @ 1100/- rupees.

My question is will apple refund my amount which i paid 1100/- rupees excluding 5 months of usage service.

    Yes.

  • Purchase iCloud storage for other users

    Can I buy iCloud storage for other users?
    Thank you.

    To the best of my knowledge, purchased storage stays with Apple id it is purchased to. To the best of my knowledge, it is unlike itunes store, and is not obligated to comply with local laws/regulations for downloads.
    I wish sometimes that people like you could create tips on do's and don'ts internationally, since we are all a bit shortsighted when it comes to Non our country situation. Unfortunately that tip here will die in the dark.
    BTW, I think your switching store may backfire for you, but I am sure you were informed of that on the phone.
    Question:
    Is it possible to pay in EU for iCloud accounts valid in China (RMB) and in the US (USD)
    They do not care( they will charge in acceptable units and card will take care of exchange rate), as long as card is accepted by corresponding store ( it is if it is on your file, and if not on file -you will find out as soon as you try to put it on it )
    As in the end they will end up back in the EU.
    What happens if you extend the storage in 1 country and then move to another country with a different currency and extend it again?
    I think I already answered that one.

  • TS4036 i cant get any photos from icloud on my new phone, how can i retrieve them?

    i am unable to retrieve any photos from icloud on my new phone even though i had back up. All of my contacts have downloaded. Could anyone be of some help please thank you

    OP you need to be more specific.  ARE you saying that they did not restore from your icloud backup? Or are you saying that they didn't show up under your photostream?
    If its the 2nd one, because photos are only available to other devices in your photostream for 30 days. Beyond that, they only show on the original device.  To get around this, you can, on the original device, share them all to a shared photostream, inviting only yourself to share the photostream and them you'll be able to access them on the new device.  Fair warning, sharing them to the shared photostream can take some time so don't delete them till they all show up.
