I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1!  This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
Resolution
Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

    There's no way to "restore" your phone, but, you can login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate your phone, then erase it.

  • I bought an IPad 1 from my sister, she got a new one. Now I need to find the Facebook app for ios 5. Can somebody help me to find it?

    I bought an IPad1 from my sister, she got à new one. Now I am searching for the facebookapp for ios5. Can someone help me? My sister hasselt cleaned the IPad with fabricinstallation so everything is gone. We realized only after that we have done that it was not clever to do so. There are no old apps available in the AppStore. Therefore my question. I need the Dutch version.
    Thanks in advance!
    Patricia

    By third party I mean apps like Facely or other apps for facebook that weren't made by facebook.
    Just search the App Store for facebook apps, then read the specs and see which ones may have a larger backwards compatibility that will work for your device.
    If you can't find one you can still access facebook at www.facebook.com and use safari.

  • HT1977 I did this and a bar showed up at the bottom and now I cant click on the apps and cant transfer them. Please help because I have accidently deleted the App store from my i pad 1. I am not very technoligically advanced so please respond in a noncomp

    I synced my ipad to my itunes store on my computer and a bar showed up on the bottom of the screen showing how many gigabytes i was using. Now i cant click on the screen to move the app from itunes to my ipad for some reason, or my movies/ music for that matter either. The real reason i am doing this is because i accidently erased the app store and dont want to erase all the apps i already have on their. So if someone can help me get the app store or fix the syncing problem that would be great because i use it for school which requires certain app be installed. Please respond quickly!

  • I backed up my library and now i cant restore it on my new mac!

    Okay,
    So, my PowerMac came today, and I backed up my iTunes library, then (stupidly), deleted almost all my music off my iMac. So i go to do the back up, and it copies 70 or so songs then says "Attempting to copy to the disk "Mac Hard Drive" failed. This disk could not be read from or written to".
    As you can imagine im quite flustered because thats basically all my music.......
    It gets to song 69 out of 170 on the first cd. And like 90something out of 190 on the second, i havent tried the third.
    PS,
    So since i got my new Mac,
    What should i do in order to use my iPod shuffle with my PowerMac?
    Also, once i do get to use my shuffle with my PowerMac, i put all my songs on it in my own specific order and it takes me like an hour, but then when i disconnect it, then go to connect it again a few days later, iTunes changes the order of the songs. quite annoying.
    Sorry to get off the topic here.
    okay ONE more thing, my brother wanted my to install jaguar on his mac, and i copied all his music to an external firewire hard drive and after i installed jaguar it wont let me move the music because i dont have the privilages or something. but idc about that much as long as i get my solution to my backup problem
    Thanks,
    Tanner.

    Hello Isiahjammal,
    So after a backup your iPhone was acting like it was restored and now your PC won't even see it?  
    Please go through this article for steps to take for that.

    Of course step through it in order.
    Take care,

  • Os yosemite, cs6 ext, this is what I get when trying to open,Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). please help me

    Yesterday it was working fine, this morning I tried to open cs6 and I get the message above. Tried to put the file back in from my laptop ( copied on a thumb drive ) and when I close all the windows the files does not show up again, and ps6 shows me that same message above. I use an iMac 27" computer. I installed a plugin ( WhiteWindowworkaround.plugin1_0_6.zip ) for correcting my cursor problem. PLEASE HELP ME.......

    The first thing I would try would be to manually reset the preferences. If that fails, try uninstalling the plugin and see if the problem goes away.
    In case you don't know how to reset:
    Reset Preferences
    1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win)/Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) during startup (not reversible)
    or
    2) Move the Folder. See:

  • HT4623 i update my iphone and now he cant conect to the network in israel

    i update my iphone and when it finesh he cant conect to the network in israel

    Where did you source your iPhone
    It sounds as if it may have been hacked to unlock it and updating the iOS  locks it back
    to the original Carrier
    Do you have any error messages ?
    and have you tried a reset followed by a restore if reset made no difference
    Is your iPhone actually a 3G if so it does not support above 4.2.1

  • I transferred documents from older computer to new one and now I cant open.  The computer tells me power pc applications no longer supported.  Is there a way to fix this so I can open?

    HI, any help would be greatly apperciated.  I purchased a new iMAC this year and transferred my old docments from very old iMAC (flying saucer looking thing) and now I am trying to open them and cant.  My computer tells me that power pc applications are no longer supported.  Is there a way to save, change or move documents so I can open?  Email to someone else?  Thanks!

    As you've found out, Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications. What type of files are you trying to open? What PowerPC application are you using to try to work with them?  Many have had Office 2004 fail to load after migrating to Lion.

  • I updated to ios5 and now I cant restore my iPod touch.

    I have now lost all my content because for some reason it says that my backup/restore files dont exist anymore. why cant I restore my ipod?

    What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes?
    Yes sometimes the backup will be corrupted and if you do not have another backup you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I have an iphone 3GS i upgraded to the latest ios and now i cant go past the activation screen

    i tried everything on the iphone and  on itunes..i called.apple and they want 19 dollars for a problem they have created...i miss steve jobs he wouldve helped i tried everything..plz help

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to be able to use a different carrier sim, now the IOS update locks the iPhone back to the previous carrier. BTW, Steve Jobs will never help someone with a hacked iPhone.

  • My phone says no service, my iCloud is logged into my device and i was reseting the whole iPhone 4 and now i cant restore it, its signed in my iCloud but still says no service??

    i reset it and re signed into my account but for some reason on iTunes its saying a completely different yahoo account and password, i don't even know who the yahoo thing belongs to but i have had this phone for two to three years,. And the iCloud is signed into my account? help meee, i have no phone until this is fix, and i have important calls at any time of the day or week.. please
    thank you and I'm very grateful for anyone that   helps or even attempts to help...

    If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

  • I accidentally removed bonjour and now I cant even open my itunes to uninstall it and then reinstall.

    How do I uninstall and then reinstall itunes if my itunes wont even stay open since i accidentally removed bonjour?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes (similar to those above) and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if iTunes or one of the components won't install normally.
