Old phone icloud shows up, how to delete

my new phone shows both old phone and new phone in i cloud. I do not want top delete old and erase all info...

No one answered probably because the answer is so obvious. I went back to Best Buy where I bought the new phone. He went into Settings, New software and the iOS 6.1.2 was available for download on the new phone. Who would think a brand new device would have a backleveled operating system???  But it was. I came home downloaded the new iOS. then I went into setting and deleted all data and apps and started initialization process again, this time telling the phone to use the backup in iCloud. Voila! Formidable!

  • HT4859 restored my iphone 5 from iCloud back up. All my photos from my old phone are missing. How do I get them back?

    I recently got my iPhone 5 replaced. Before erasing the contents on my old iPhone 5 I backed up to iCloud. When I restored all my photos from my old phone are missing. How do I recover?

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream - and then moved into permanent albums for storage.  If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

  • I a got a new phone and backed all of my stuff on to the new one can I now delete the old phone backups off I cloud without deleting the content from my phone?

    Yes, absolutely, but before you do, give yourself three or four days to verify that you have everything on the new phone. You also probably will not be able to delete old backup for three days anyway, I have heard that Apple places server in three days lock out after restore from backup initially started.

    If you didn't enable find my iphone in icloud settings on your phone, then you can't do a lost mode or lock your phone.
    I would assume you had a passcode on your phone to lock it.  If you didn't then start changing your passwords.
    Report the lost to your phone carrier - local authorities.

  • How do i get all my photos from my old phones icloud back up either onto my computer or on my new phone , there saved as two separate back-ups ?

    okay so unfortunately I lost my iphone 4 battery died and everything so was no chance of finding it even with find my iphone , fortunately I backed up every photo to my icloud I know there all there because I accidentally corrupted my phone during an update and restored from the cloud and it brought back all the photos (this was before I lost it) now with my old phone I never had photo stream or synced my phone to my computer so the pictures are just on the icloud . and I know they are there , but since I got my new phone my icloud management shows two backups , my current phone , and my old phone , so all the old pictures are still there , is there anyway of getting these pictures from the icloud either onto my laptop or on my new phone ? thanks

    Have a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859 for more help. Setup assistant should prompt you for your apple I'd and password then you should be abl to select a backup from iCloud.

  • HT5527 I HAVE OLD PHONES BACKED UP.  how do i find the data and recover or delete dups and junk

    I HAVE OLD iPHONES BACKED UP.  how do i find the data and recover or delete dups and junk

    You can't see the data inside the backup, and you can't restore just part of the data if that's what you're asking. To see the data you have to restore the entire backup.

  • Ive just got a new device which has been fully restored, but on my settings i can see my old phone with the backup. can i delete this or will that get rid of my new one too?

    I've fully restored my new device, and all my old stuff is now on my new phone however when i go to manage storage under the icloud section it shows my old phone too. There is an option to delete this, will this have any effect on my current phone? I dont want to delete it if that means any of my stuff on my current phone will get deleted as well.

  • HT4859 How do I restore my new phone from my old phones icloud backup?

    I have a new iphone 5 and I am trying to restore my old iphone storage from my Iphone 4 I backed it up yesterday. I only will restore from itunes on a previous year old computer backup. Help please...

    To restore from an iCloud backup you have to first erase the phone.  Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps because my old account keeps showing up how do I stop that

    I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps it keeps showing my old account how do I stop that from happening

    Apps are always associated with the AppleID that purchased them, you cannot use another AppleID with them,
    So in order to update them you must use the credentials that were used to purchase them.
    You can chnge the details (Name and Primary email) for an AppleID instead of creating a new one.

  • HT4623 i synced my new phone to all of my old phone pics and apps. how can i remove it

    I accendtially sync my old informaiton onto my new Iphone5. All of rhw information from my new IPhone 5 is gone...Please help me to re-set it bakck

    After erasing the data you didn't want there, restore the phone from the last backup you made of it before you accidentally overwrote it. If you did not back it up, then there is nothing to get back.

    If you need to remove saved data then use these steps:
    #Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    #Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    #Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • How to delete an iCloud account off an old phone

    I hope this doesn't sound confusing and that you guys can help. Basically I had the iPhone 4S and when I was due for an upgrade I got the iPhone 5 and gave my old phone to my dad. I deleted all my stuff but forgot to remove my iCloud account so now when he downloads something  or creates a contact I get it on my phone and vice versa. Is there a way I can delete my iCloud off his phone without him losing any of his stuff and also without me losing my iCloud account.

    One of you would need to migrate to a new account.  To, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • How to delete an old app in DPS App Builder?

    Hi,
    I was wondering how to delete an old app in DPS App Builder when the delete button is inactive?
    I had purchased a single edition and build an iPad App. After download the Developer app from DPS App Builder and tested on my iPad, I'd found some page number errors so I'd created a new app. Inorder to activate app, I need to insert the serial number. But it says "this serial number already been redeemed".  Is it because I already use it to build the old app? If so, how to delete the old app because the delete button is inactive for the old app but the new one?
    Thank you so much for your kindly help, really appreciated!!!

    You need to call product support and have them reset your serial number. In the future you should test your content thoroughly using Adobe Content Viewer before building your app with the serial number. We make it rather painful to update when you are using a serial number for single edition
