If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?
I have this exact same issue. Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud. This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation). How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back? I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

help!!! My new phone is asking for a password but I never set one and am locked out - what can I do?!?!
Is it asking for your Apple ID password or the passcode to unlock the phone?
If it's asking for your passode, use the steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 -

You can take a look at this support document that explains encrypted backups Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support and then you might also want to look at this one, depending on the computer OS you are using. iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups - Apple Support

If i restore my new iphone from my last backup will it delete all of the new content that I currently have on my phone? would it be better off to set it up as a new iphone? and if i set it up as a new iphone what will that do?
If you restore from your last backup, it will replace what you now have on your phone. If you set it up as new, you will have a phone just out of the box without any of your data on it. You can download any apps again. You can sync your music through iTunes.

i am changing from an iphone 3G to an iphone 3GS and i was not offered an option to restore the new device from a backup of the old device - how do i reset the new device to allow me restore the data from the old one to the new one?
Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will return it to its new out of the box condition. Go through the setup screens again and you will be given the option to restore from a previous iTunes or iCloud backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109).

HT4436 aid it was 2/4. How do I restore my new iphone to the backup of 2/14?
I purchased a new iphone 5s and backed up my old iphone to the icloud 2/14. When I started the new phone it restored to a backup from 2/4--how do I restore my new iphone to the backup from the icloud today 2/14?
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to confirm that the backup of your old phone is listed. If so, 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, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

I can not make or receive calls! other functions itself. Internet, sms, whatsapp work. I restored as new iphone from the phone and from itunes and still not working.
Sorry for my english i'm spanishI have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

How do I find out my password to back up and restore my new iphone 6? Its not the same as my iTunes password..
I am guessing you are talking about an encryption password that you placed on the backup you put into iTunes on your computer.
If so, you elected to encrypt your iPhone's backup. You will need to recall that password, or you cannot access the backup. -
I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this so I can use my new phone? The first step asks for my iCloud info but then asks for my friends after I agree to the terms.
The iPhone is new, has never been used. When asked if I want to set it up as a new phone, restore from an iTunes backup, or my iCloud backup I selected iCloud. It then askes for me to sign in with my Apple ID, I then agree to the terms, then it asks for me to sign into my friends Apple ID. She and I have used each other's computers in the past so I assume this is where her information is coming from. The problem is she no longer had that email or Apple ID and has no way of gaining access to it and therefor I am unable to proceed.
I suppose my question is, how can I remove her information from mine so I can setup my new phone using iCloud. Also, I have already checked my Apple ID online and nowhere on my account is her information listed. -

If it is asking for an APlle ID password for an ID you do not recognize then you have stumbled upon the Activation Lock feature of IOS7.

Luckily, using the "Find My iPhone" app, I was able to scare the thieves into bringing my iPhone back to the place they stole it from (Dave and Busters..on my BIRTHDAY OF ALL DAYS). So now, $169 later (deductible for replacement iPhone), I have both my 1st iPhone and my replacement. On my first iPhone, I have all of my pictures saved and they are very clear, but when I restored my replacement iPhone from my original iPhones iCloud backup, all the pictures that I took in my original iPhone are blurry! I thought about backing up my original iPhone through iTunes and then resetting my replacement iPhone and restoring it from my original iPhones settings but I dont want to lose all of my new pictures I took. I know this sounds confusing (well, it looks confusing, since you cant actually hear me) but I could use all the help I can get!

I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone
No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?
Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from. -

Help me I have been trying to restore my iphone back to original settings an very time I try it asked me for a restriction code I have never set a restriction code and was just wondering if they were all the same for every iPhone please could someone help me
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to it see:
How to reset forgotten Restrictions...: Apple Support Communities
Some other uses have experienced a Restructuions passcode just appearing out of thin air. Try passwords you use on the iPhone.
