New iPad restore from iCloud is stuck
I'm just posting this to hopefully save someone some grief. When restoring my new iPad from iCloud everything was going smoothly up to the point where the apps start to download again. They got stuck.
I found several articles on the internet with tips on how to get the apps moving again. All the tips worked somewhat, in the sense that I was able to force some of my apps to go ahead and finish downloading. Others remained stuck.
I finally gave up and went to sleep, and was going to tackle the whole thing again in the morning.
To my surprise, the iPad took care of itself overnight, and everything was restored and waiting for me when I woke up.
If this happens to you, try patience first.
ID start over. Clearly there is something wrong.

New iPhone restore from iCloud backup then sync from computer
Hello
I am getting a new iPhone 6 tomorrow (fingers crossed delivery is ok).
I back-up my current iPhone using iCloud and use iTunes match for music but I am getting a 128GB new iPhone so intend putting all my music on that new iPhone.
What I want to do is use the iCloud restore function to have my new iPhone take on the same settings and app data etc as my current iPhone (which is backed up through iCloud) but then sync all my music from my iMac. It appears that when I plug in a phone to my iMac for the first time iTunes won't let me sync without first either setting the phone up as new or restoring the phone from a iTunes back-up (not an iCloud back-up). Is there anyway to get around this?
I hope that is clear, it sounds convoluted when I read it back.
PS additional question for extra credit. Do I need to update my current iPhone to iOS 8 before running a back-up to allow a restore to work on a new iPhone 6 (which will be running iOS 8)?If it were me, I would setup your iPhone as a new phone. You will be asked during the setup to enter your Apple ID and password so you can log into iCloud. As long as you have been using iCloud for your Contacts, Notes, Reminders, etc. once your phone is setup iCloud will sync your Contacts, Notes, Reminders, etc. I think you will also be prompted to setup your email account(s).
I think iPad iCloud back ups are different than iPhone and you can't restore an iPad back up to an iPhone and visa versa. I'm not 100% sure since I don't own an iPad. -
New iPad restore from old ipod backup - Apps not transferring
Am trying to set up new iPad Air (on iOS 7) for son. He has an old iPod Touch running 6.1.5. I backed it up yesterday. I wanted to bring all data from that over to the new iPad. I obviously want this to happen so he will be able to pick up playing his games where he left off and not have to start all over again.So, have followed steps to restore from backup. But not one single app will transfer across.
I've tried twice, reset to factory the 2nd time and tried again but still not one app appears. I get a message saying
Settings and data from some apps are not compatible with iPad and will not be restored.
but I can't believe that not one single app is compatible, he has loads of games on his old iPod!
Can anyone help me - need to get this sorted before the big day tomorrow!
ThanksKind of answering my own question here.... have just done a ton more research, and tucked away in a tutorial on how to do the transfer, I found someone had the same problem as me. This was his answer

So after much time with apple support…. You need to “transfer purchases” to your computer via iTunes before making the backup. And the iPads need different names or it may automatically back itself up, and that may end up being what you restore from (which of course would end up doing nothing).
In my case it seemed to be just transferring purchases from old iPod to iTunes see how to do it here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848http://
Go to 2nd para to transfer from device to iTunes.
Hope that will help someone frantically trying to do it before Christmas.
TIP do it soon as it is taking ages for the 83 apps he has to copy across... -
Any thoughts?
Are you able to see the star rating on LR Web Adobe Lightroom ?
In addition are you able to sync other changes from Lr Mobile to the Lr deskop?

Help updated my ipad with IOS 7.0.4. It asks me what language, chooses my wi-fi and then asks.........1 - set up as a new ipad, 2 - restore from iclouds or 3 - restore from itunes but won't restore as not enough memory! What do I do now?
I don't want to lose all my pics, songs etc
Whats my next move as I CANNOT use the ipas at the moment!!!!!!!!Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

I had my iPad 2 replaced by Applestore today. On the new iPad I tried to restore from iCloud backup point but was told I was unable to do this as the new iPad needed to have the latest running system iOS 7 loaded. Is there a way I can do this so I can get my iCloud backup or do I need to go back to Applestore and get an iPad preloaded with iOS 7?
If you feel comfortable you can do the Update to iOS 7 yourself and after you have successfully done that... then Restore your iCloud Back Up.
If you are not comfortable in doing it yourself... Then go back to the Apple Store and get them to do it.
They will be Happy to assist you. -

Welcome to the Apple Community Xena1940.
When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete. -
I just got a new iPad it had 6.0 iOS and it would not let me restore from the cloud . I had to set up as new to update to 6.1 iOS now I can't find my backups in the cloud help please..
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from. -
Cannot restore from iClouds on my brand new mini iPad
Just purchased an IPad mini. When I try and restore my info from ICloud, I see my latest backup, but I can't restore it. The message says "no iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (6.0.2 ) on this pad. The iPad 2 that was backuped was iOS 6.1.3. Makes no sense. Had no problem backing up from the iPad 2.
In order to restore a backup to your device it must be running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up. If your device is running 6.0.2 and the one you backed up was running 6.1.3, you will need to update your device before you can restore the backup. (You can check the iOS version by going to Settings>General>About>Version.)
After updating your device, you can go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on your device and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts. You should be able to access your backup this time.
Be sure your device is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup. -
I got a new iphone 6. When I restore my phone from my icloud backup my most recent photos and messages not restored from icloud backup. How do I get the most recent backup onto my new phone?
Hello, Anita.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup. This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6. Try going through the steps in the article below.
iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.

How can I transfer contacts from one iPad to a new iPad with different iCloud addresses?

One way would be to e-mail them from yourself to yourself. That would totally avoid the different ID issue.
