  • How can I restore my latest iCloud backup from my iPhone 4 to my new iPhone 5?

    How can I use the my latest iCloud backup from my iPhone 4 to update all my apps on my new iPhone 5?  I just registered it and it is a later version of the backup.  Can I reboot it now that I have a more current backup from my iPhone 4?

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have already set up your iPhone 5 you will have to erase it and go back through the setup again.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you are restoring to you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • HT1766 I just got a 5s and had taken some pictures. Then I plugged it into my PC and set it up using my previous backup from my iPhone 4. Now the pictures I had taken are gone, is there any way to get them back?!

    Sorry no as you wipe the current data when you restore from your backup.

  • After having replaced the iMac hard drive I no longer can make iTunes security backups from my iPhone 4S?

    After having had my iMac's hard drive replaced (had a defect 1 TB Seagate) and the 10.8.2 reinstalled, I no longer can make security backups from my iPhone 4S. iTunes simply tells me that the backup cannot be saved on my computer (which it has done numerous times prior the replacement of the hard drive). Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Click the green jelly button at top left of iTunes window to resize the screen to fit.

  • TS3682 Is it a problem to restore a backup from an iPhone 4 with IOS 7.1 to iPhone 5S with IOS 7.0.1 ?

    Is it a problem to restore a backup from an iPhone 4 with IOS 7.1 to iPhone 5S with IOS 7.0.1 ?

    Yes. You cannot Restore a Backup to an Earlier version of iOS.
    Your iPhone 5s needs to have iOS 7.1 to match your iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1

  • Can you restore a backup from an iPhone 6 to an iPad 2?

    I bought my wife an iPad 2 and I want to set it up to be just like her iPhone 6 (absent the iPhone only apps, obviously). However, I cannot seem to get it done.
    I do not use iCloud backup - this is from a backup on a Mac running Yosemite via iTunes.  Both devices are running iOS 8.1.3.
    I select 'Restore Backup', then select the backup of my wife's iPhone and I get a message: "Settings and data from some apps are not compatible with iPad and will not be restored." I figure this means it will restore everything except the iPhone specific apps.
    I click 'continue' and it appears to go through the restore process, but then nothing gets installed on the iPad.
    Thoughts?

    I restored a backup from a DIFFERENT iPad (mini) to my target iPad 2.  I have not been able to restore the backup from the iPhone to the target iPad.
    I have tried the following:
    Backup of iPhone 6 to target iPad 2 - Fail
    Backup of iPhone 5S to target iPad 2 - Fail
    Backup of different iPad mini to target iPad 2 - Complete
    So the target iPad 2 will take a restore from a different iPad (mini), but not from two different iPhones.
    Is it just me, or can such a restore just not be done?

  • HT1766 I purchased an iPad air and chose a backup from my iPhone 5s.  The only issue is only 30 of my photos downloaded to my iPad and none of the music.  How can I get all items on the iPad?

    you are using I tunes as the middle man for this back up, right?
    When you plug in the pad to i tunes, give it a unique name, like my pad.  I tune may be thinking it is talking to your phone.  It will keep track of what you what on each device.  Then plug your phone back in, and make sure your photos are uploaded to the computer - in i photo if you are using a mac, or in whatever photo program you are using on a windows device.  You also want to make sure you have uploaded to the computer all of your music.
    Once you get all that stuff there, plug the pad back in, and go through each of the tabs - selecting the music, photos etal that you want on the pad, then resync.

  • How do I remove old backups from my iPhone?

    I have a fairly full iPhone 5.  When I look at my iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, it shows backups from 2 old computers that I no longer use.  I need only one of the three backup files my phone is holding.  Note: I am not asking how to go into iTunes and delete old backups.  I need to delete them from the actual phone.

    The three backups I refer to in my original question are listed in Wi-Fi Sync as backups that are waiting to complete.  The list is 3 computers my iPhone has been used with.  I no longer use 2 of these computers, so I no longer need these backups.  They are ONLY listed on my phone not in iTunes so I cannot delete them in iTunes.  They are on my phone as backups that are waiting for me to reconnect to those computers to complete.

  • Unable to backup to new iphone 5s as it still has IOS (7.0.4) on the new phone

    I upgraded my phone from an iphone 4s to the new iphone 5s but it does not want to backup my data onto the new phone. Gives me the msg that some icloud backups are not compatible with the version of IOS (7.0.4) on this phone. What do i do?

    When I get to the screen where I have to choose backup it list my iPhone 4s and saying IOS 7.1 Required underneath it, but it is greyed out so I cannot choose it and at the bottom of the screen it says that some iCloud backups are not compatible with the version of iOS (7.0.4) on this iPhone (that is the new iPhone 5s

  • I started to do a backup from my iphone 5s following a notice the device gave. but it was unsuccessful and in the first use I saw my iphone battery drains drastically. what should i do now?

    I started to do a backup on my iphone 5s following a notice the device gave. but it was unsuccessful and in the first use of my iphone I saw my iphone battery drains drastically. I had upgraded the software to ios 7.1. what should i do now? is this a problem with the battery?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • I have an iphone 4 and iphone 5 and i set up the iphone 5 using the icloud backup from the iphone 4 and i forgot to disconnect the icloud before i deleted the contacts on the iphone 4 which then deleted them from the iphone 5 is there anyway of restoring

    I have an iphone 4 and iphone 5 and i have set up the 5 with a backup from the icloud. But i didn't disconnect the old phone (iphone 4) form the icloud and deleted some contacts which also deleted them from the 5. I have restored them from a previous back up but after i did that i deleted the iphone 4 from the icloud which also deleted the conatcts from the 5 again as i didnt back up. Is there anyway of restoring the conatcts now?

    If you still have the same back up you can restore from back up again. Unfortunately you will have to do something fast and unusual in the process of restore. As soon as you have access to your phone - you need to go to settings - icloud and turn off your contacts sync. You need to do that fast enough so your icloud will not have time to sync "0" contacts back to the phone. That way when your restore is completed you get your contacts. You will have less then 1 minute to complete what I told you. If the contacts are gone anyway, either you were not fast enough, or your back up was overwritten already.

  • Unable to print from my Iphone to my eprinter

    I can login to my HP eprint account and see my printer and print to it. I can also print to my printer on my WIFI from my iPhone 5. The problem is I can not print to it from my iPhone when I'm alway from my office? At one time I was able to do this.

    Hi there, in order to print remotely from the ePrint mobile app on your iPhone you need to register (activate) the phone with the ePrint service, ideally using the same email address you used to create your ePrintCenter account. Take a look at this support document for the ePrint mobile app for instructions on how to do that and post back with any questions.  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01923321&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...

  • How do I recover photos off the iTunes backup from my iPhone so I can put them on my new computer?

    My computer hard drive recently crashed and is unrecoverable.  Like a dummies we didn't have it backed up.  But do I have my photos and files still on my iPhone. 
    So, bought a new computer with Windows 8 operating system.  Went to the iTunes store and they said I just needed to plug in my phone and transfer the photo's over. 
    First thing I did after downloading iTunes to my new computer was do a backup of my iPhone through iTunes.  Then tried to download my pictures to my computer as recommended at the iTunes store.  Was only able to get the pictures off the camera roll. 
    On my old computer I had several folders of photos that I had uploaded to my iPhone and still show up on the iPhone but I can't seem to find them to put them back on my new computer.
    Can anyone assist me with this.  I hate to purchase an extractor if I don't need one. I only have one chance at this and want to make sure I do it right.
    Thanks in advance for your asssitance and advice.
    And, they told me a couldn't grab my old music files either but had to reload them all back into iTunes by hand.  Bummer.

    Hi Becky,
    If you have iCloud and shared Photo Stream turned on, you can go into your each of your albums and do the following:
    1.     Tap on Edit
    2.     Tap on each photo you want to save back to your computer
    3.     Tap on Share
    4.     Tap on Photo Stream
    5.     Tap on the unnamed Photo Stream folder just created
    6.     Type in your iCloud or Apple ID email address
    7.     Name the Photo Stream
    8.     Tap on Next to create the shared Photo Stream album
    9.     Tap on Post
    10.   Tap on the new Photo Stream album
    11.    Tap on Edit
    12.    Tap on the photos to select them
    13.    Tap on Share
    14.    Tap on Save to Camera Roll
    Once they are back in the Camera Roll, you should be able to import them.
    Cheers,

  • Just got my iphone 5s and tried to restore backup from my iphone 4.  When I restored it, it automatically went back to the backup from 2013

    Never gave me an option to restore from the backup I did last night.  Now I want to restart and just start over from the settings I had when I purchased it this afternoon. The old backup looks outdated and only transferred over certain info, no apps. Please help!!!

    There is no other backup listed though. That's the problem. The only one I can choose from is from last year when I am a thousand percent confident I backed it up the other night.  Not only did I do it through itunes, but I also backed it up via the icloud.
    Other than keeping my contacts, I don't care about losing what is on the backup from last year if I can't restore it to something sooner. I would rather have the settings it came with when I purchased the phone yesterday.
