If your iphone breaks can you still restore everthing from icloud to a new iphone and if so how ?

Hi everyone my phone recently broke and i had everthing backed up to icloud and not my computer. will i be able to restore everything to a new iphone from icloud and if so how would i do it ? also if i back my iphone up to just my computer and it breaks will i be able to reinstall itunes on a new computer and get everthing from my iphone back ? I was just curious as to which method of backup is better for complete piece of mind if my iphone and computer were to break at the same time (i know that would be unlikely but stranger things have happend haha). hope someone can help me i would really appreciate it .
Thankyou.

Yes, you can get the data onto a new iPhone. When you first turn it on, you will need to go through the setup screens, one of which asks if you want to restore from a backup. Choose Restore from iCloud backup and sign in with your Apple ID. For a complete walkthrough of each setup screen, see:

HT201269 I am trying to restore data from iCloud to a new iPhone 5 faulty.

I am trying to restore data to new iPhone after one I bought at Christmas went faulty from iCloud to a new iPhone 5. I just get an error message saying " your iPhone cannot be restore as there is a problem with your data" but none of the other backups shown work either. Any suggestions?

What iOS is your current iPhone running?
What iOS was your previous device running at the time the iCloud backups were made?
If you don't know, then update your iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1, then try to restore the backup again.

I don't want to restore photos from icloud onto my new iphone

Hi there,
I had an iPhone 4 and just got a new 5c. I backed up my 4 to icloud as i dont't own a laptop. I bought 20GB of storage and everything seemed to work. When I set up new iPhone i selected 'Restore from iCloud Back up' as I need old contacts on this new phone HOWEVER, I do not want all photos on new phone as I donot have enough space and they will fill up my memory. They are already in my iCloud so I shouldn't need them on new phone. I didn't see any option to just restore data rather than media and so photo stream is downloading constantly but wont finish as there is not enough space on phone. How can I just restore contacts to new phone and not pictures? My other option could be to set up as new iphone, but if I do this can I then download the contacts from my icloud seperately?
Going slowly insane.

You can't restore only part of the backup. Only camera roll photos are stored in the backup and they will have to be restored as part of restoring the entire backup. Photo stream photos are not stored in the backup; photo stream photos from the last 30 days will stream to your new phone when it signs into your iCloud account. You can stop this by turning off my photo stream in Settings>iCloud>Photos.
The other thing you should be aware of is that you can't have photos in iCloud that are not also on your phone. If you delete them from your phone, they will be deleted from iCloud.

HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad. I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe. In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac.

Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small. What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

Which password?
If you mean the passcode to your iPhone, here's the solution:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you mean the encryption password to your backup on your computer:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

HT1414 having trouble restoring the backup from icloud to my new iphone

I cannot restore my icold backup to my new iphone. Any tips?

If your backup is newer than the iOS on the phone, you cannot restore from that backup until you update the iOS on the phone first. So is your backup from a newer iOS than what is on the phone? If so, update the phone and then restore from the backup.
If you would share what happens when you try or provide seem more details - it would be a little easier to offer suggestions.

I have a ipod touch but want to buy a ipod shuffel. can i sync my music from the touch to the shuffel and how? but if i cant how do i buy music from itunes on the shuffel?

You can't go directly from the Touch to the Shuffle, but if you can get the music into your itunes library on your computer, you'll be able to sync that music to the Shuffle no problem.

Can you still not pair the iPad 2 to an iPhone

I have been trying to pair my iPad 2 to my iPhone 4 via Bluetooth, when I turn on Bluetooth they both just stay in searching mode. I read that you couldn't do this but it was from last year so I'm wondering is this is still the case. Thanks in advanced and if there is a way to do this can you please let me know.

Am having the same problem as a number of other people.
Have set up a Personal Hotspot on my iPhone so that I can tether my iPad to the 3GS service and that way access internet without wifi. The devices find each other using Bluetooth. Hopefully that much is clear.
It worked for a little while, but now both devices just keep searching and I've gotten a message that my iPad is "not supported." Any experts out there?

Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded my 3000 photos. I now want to delete them from my phone. Can I still access them from the cloud of I do? If so how? Thank you in advance.m

Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded 3000+ photos. Can I safely delete them from my phone and still access them from the cloud? Thank you

Hey linsfrombrandon,
The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

HT201269 I restored from iCloud after purchasing new iphone 5s today. However none of 5s phone features nor apps are showing nor are they seen in settings. Plus my App Store is currently using 894mB of data. Can anyone help????

I had read to "restore" not the option to set up new device. Oh also my "messages" data is very high even after I deleted nearly all of them

If you simply would have posted here first, there are plenty of people who would have informed you of the current policy to have a data plan active on an account during the entire contract if purchasing a discounted smartphone.
Unfortunately, there are just as many on here who would claim the people informing you about this policy of being Verizon plants spreading disinformation and trying to make people afraid to upgrade via this route.
Yes this is a new policy, one which has been pointed out multiple times in these forums. Good luck, but I doubt you will have an outcome over this which will make you happy.
Verizon is closing as many loopholes to keep unlimited data as they can.

How can I upload the photos that I made an my old iPhone from iCloud to my new iPhone?

ICloud configures the new photos that I make with both my iPhones to both of my iPhones, but I don't get the old ones on my old iPhone to my new iPhone. Can't I just make sure all data from both my iPhones are put together on my new one, so I can stop using my old iPhone? The calendars are put together and my music and all, but the photos and notes not.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Only photos taken after Photostream has been enabled will be added to Photostream. If you want to move the photos from your old phone to your new one, you will need to do it manually.

I finally moved from Android to an IPhone 5s, my question is can i upload my music from my old android to itunes and if so how?

i finally moved from the Android world to an IPhone 5s i was wondering if anyone knows how to upload my music and pictures from my old android to either a folder on my PC or to itunes on my PC itself so that i can then sync it all to itunes so i can have all my music from my old android(HTC EVO BTW) to my new I Phone 5s?

You add music to iTunes via the File menu item in iTunes. Click on File, then Add file to library, or Add folder to library. Once the music has been added to iTunes, then you can sync to the phone. Once you have added the files/folder to the computer, you can add them to iTunes. Not exactly sure how to get the music from the phone to iTunes, but I would guess that it has something to do with however you were managing your music on the Android device.
Pictures once imported to the computer, can then be synced to the iPhone via the sync process. Once you have connected the iPhone to the computer and iTunes, then select the phone in the device list, tap on the photos tab, and select what photo folders you want to add to the phone.

Stolen Computer - Can I still upload music from old iPod to new computer?

Our computer was stolen last fall, so I'm unable to change the settings in iTunes on the iPods and iPhone we have with all our music files on them. I'm wondering if there is still a way for me to transfer that music (and photos) from our iPods and iPhone to our new computer without being able to access the old computer itself? Please help! I really don't want to have lost all my music and photos!

I have iphone 5. I deleted my iCloud account because I started a new apple id with a new email address. I can no longer log into apple id with my new email and pw. How can I get it on without starting all over?

I changed my apple id on my iphone and macbook but now I cannot get my iphone to accept it when I go into icloud after deleting an OLD apple id.

It is not possible to do that.

When downloading from iCloud to my new iphone my ringtones didn't transfer

i cleared my 4s iphone updated ios 8 software then restored my info from iCloud, but my ringtones are missing,,,why??

You can't store anything on an iPhone SIM. If your contacts are in iCloud, just go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your account and turn Contacts on. They will then download to your phone.

If your iphone breaks can you still restore everthing from icloud to a new iphone and if so how ?
