New ipod won't restore from icloud

If I set up my ipod as new, can I still restore from icloud?
I purchased a new ipod touch yesterday, and in the course of setting it up, it will not restore from icloud, so I thought I might be able to set it up as new and still restore from icloud once I got it set up, is this correct? I would update from itunes, but my computer's operating system won't allow me to update to the newest version of itunes, so the ipod and computer won't "talk" to each other.

Do other devices now connect to the router OK?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Try on another network as Apple recommended.

I have a new ipod touch and it says choose to set up as a new ipod touch or restore from a backup. If I restore from backup will my old ipod continue to be synced as before?

I have a new ipod touch and it says choose to set up as a new ipod touch or restore from a backup. If I choose restore from a backup will my old ipod continue to maintain the ability to be synced on my same account?

Yes. It will not effect your other iPod.
However. change the name of the newer iPod if necessary to avoid confusion if the second one is named the same as the first

Sync to a new computer...restore from iCloud backup?

I have been trying to find the answer to this specific question, but haven't been able to. I know this is a question that has been asked a lot, so I apologize in advance. I am wanting to change the computer I sync my iPhone to. I have read that when you sync to a new computer, you lose all of your data.
My question is, can you use your backup from iCloud to recover that data? I'm not worried about the music, I have copies on my desktop. I am mostly worried about my photos and contacts. I have over 700 pictures and I really don't want to email them all to myself to be sure I keep them.
Would it be easier to reset my phone to factory settings and then use the iCloud backup to restore my info? Then can I sync it to my desktop with no problems?
My laptop, which I sync to now, is still able to be used. It's just getting older and I would rather use my desktop to sync from now on.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

I've seen that, but that doesn't really help. I really don't want to restore from my other iTunes folder. I want to start over on my desktop. I went through my music on my desktop and I have it set up how I want it. I just don't want to lose my info. Plus, I don't have Windows Address Book or Outlook on my computer.
This is my question:
All of my music is on my desktop, which I want to start syncing with. I backed up my phone on iCloud today. Can I just restore my phone and then retrieve the backup from iCloud? All of my data (contacts, apps, notes, etc) will be on there, right? I don't care about the music...I will add that back. I just don't want to lose my contacts.
If I do restore from iCloud, can I then start syncing with my desktop as if I never synced with my laptop?

My iPhone 6 Plus won't restore from iCloud Backup

I had backed up my iPhone 5S nightly, including an hour before I got into the apple store to get my 6 Plus. It will not restore from iCloud to the new phone, no matter which of the old backups I choose. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you solve it?

Yes, yes & yes, I am on my home wi-fi & have tried on a personal wi-fi hotspot while out, I had enough iCloud space before, but after deleting my last backup I've got loads & my phone stopped automatically backing up, so have been trying using the backup now button.

Just got new iPad could not restore from iCloud because of operating system had to set up as new to upgrade now how do I get back to restore from the cloud?

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.

My ipad2 wants to now setup as new, but it's not new, and asks to restore from icloud or itunes. I don't know what to do

For no known reason, my Ipad 2 crashed. I turned it on one day and it acts like it's new. It says "setup new ipad" or restore using icloud or itunes. I don't know which to do because I don't want to lose what I had on my ipad and I don't know if I had icloud setup or not.

You don't have any choice. You will have to set the iPad up all over again now. Take a guess and pick one or the other and hope. You will be able to download most of your paid content again for free.

My pages documents won't restore from iCloud, how to fix?

I recently did a hard reset of my iPad 2, i thought it would fix a problem that proved to be a hardware problem, rater then a software problem. I got (almost) everything back from iCloud, exept for my document in apple programs (pages, numbers and keynote) i am going to talk about pages, as it is the same in all 3 apps.
When i open pages i see my old documents, but they are black icons with a pen and ink. I have tried to restore from settings, but everytime i switch on the restore option and open pages, nothing happens and the restore button is put back to off.
I don't want to reinstall pages, as i get a message saying that i will lose my files if i delete (something about the documents not being updated)
I use pages quite alot, and the documents are important to me. Can i fix it? If yes then how.

Brian...
On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Documents & Data off then back on then reset your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My iPod won't restore from backup

I have an iPod touch 3rd gen 32 gb. I backed it and recovered it, then restored from backup, however, now it is stuck between the lock screen and a loading circle. Is there a way to fix this without recovering it and not restoring it?

Not likely
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Brand new 5s - set up as new but will not restore from icloud backup

Hi, all. I received a new 5s today as a present. It was set up at the Sprint store by the staff. I asked what I would need to do to get all of my.apps, photos, etc. and they told me to do an cloud restore when I got home. So I got home and tried to figure out how to do this. I made sure to back up the 4s last night but my new phone says it has never been backed up which I suppose makes sense... so I have several questions:
1) Why would an old apple ID show up all of a sudden?
When I couldn't figure out restore, I erased all settings and tried to set up again from an cloud back up. But it showed me my original apple is from 2005 when email addresses weren't required (my ID then was edavies988) and I only had an iPod. It kept telling me I had an incorrect ID or password when I tried to set up as cloud backup restore. And I checked to make sure my apple ID is my current email address not my old ID. It is the email address. So any idea why this would have happened?
And since that didn't work, I went back and set it up as a new phone again. So....
2) Is there any way to access the cloud back up and restore it without having to reset the phone? I have pictures and apps, etc. that I would like to have on the new phone....I have no idea how to fix this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!!

No, photos and apps aren't on my computer. Only in the cloud. I back up to the cloud only. I have a very old computer.
And no, I don't have anything loaded on the new phone. I apologize if I wasn't clear. I am unable to reset the phone and do a restore on the new phone because of the apple ID problem I mentioned. (Old, no longer used ID is what pops up when I try to restore. And since it isn't the current apple ID it doesn't accept my password. And it will not let me update to the current apple ID during set up. And, yes. I checked online. The current ID is all that shows online.)
What I clumsily was trying to ask was is there a way to do a restore on a new phone without resetting so that I can get the stuff from the old phone to the new phone? (Again, the reset didn't work when trying to reset/restore. So I had to set the phone up as a new phone.)
Does that make sense? Or is it clear as mud?

Set up as new iPhone or restore from iCloud?

Hello,
I have the iPod Touch 3G, 32 GB. I hope to be getting the iPhone 5, 32GB in the next few days.
Just asking if I should set up as new iphone or choose restore from iCloud?
I do want my photo apps and photos to be saved/synched to my iPhone.
Which is the best way/right way to do this?
Thank you!

Hi Kappy,
Thank you for your reply!
It is a must that I use iTunes to backup my iPod Touch? I use iCloud for this now and would rather continue using iCloud. Is this okay or do I change it now?
What are my first steps I need to do when I turn on the iPhone 5? Besides a big smile and being happy. lol
Thank you!

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.

Trying to restore from icloud backup to new phone

I have just bought a new phone as old one was damaged. I am trying to restore from icloud backup. when it asks for a rescue email address it won't accept the address I am submitting even though it is not any of the addresses that are already registered with icloud as apple id, alternate or rescue emails. this has happened with two different email addresses now, neither of which icloud have a previous record of. not sure what to do now!

You actually have to go through extra steps of setting up your phone as new, updating and then erasing and restoring from that back up.

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.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
Cheers,
Jason H.
