When downloading from iCloud to my new iphone my ringtones didn't transfer

i cleared my 4s iphone updated ios 8 software then restored my info from iCloud, but my ringtones are missing,,,why??

You can't store anything on an iPhone SIM.  If your contacts are in iCloud, just go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your account and turn Contacts on.  They will then download to your phone.

  • HT201269 I am trying to restore data from iCloud to a new iPhone 5  faulty.

    I am trying to restore data to new iPhone after one I bought at Christmas went faulty from iCloud to a new iPhone 5. I just get an error message saying " your iPhone cannot be restore as there is a problem with your data" but none of the other backups shown work either. Any suggestions?

    What iOS is your current iPhone running?
    What iOS was your previous device running at the time the iCloud backups were made?
    If you don't know, then update your iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1, then try to restore the backup again.

    How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

    You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone.  If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
    In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

  • Apps gets stuck when downloading from iCloud, shows as "waiting" but never downloaded

    When I download an app already purchase from iCloud it gets stuck as waiting. It only happens with apps downloaded from iCloud as new apps download well.

    Hi there Tincho27,
    It sounds like new apps are downloading without issue, but apps that are already on your account seem to never get done Waiting. I would start by deleting any apps you have that are currently stuck:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    Tap and hold the app you want to delete.
    The apps will begin to jiggle.
    Tap the X on the app.
    Then sign out of the account in your Settings:
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap your Apple ID.
    If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
     Tap Sign Out.
    Then restart your iPhone and try downloading an purchased app again to test the issue:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • I don't want to restore photos from icloud onto my new iphone

    Hi there,
    I had an iPhone 4 and just got a new 5c. I backed up my 4 to icloud as i dont't own a laptop. I bought 20GB of storage and everything seemed to work. When I set up new iPhone i selected 'Restore from iCloud Back up' as I need old contacts on this new phone HOWEVER, I do not want all photos on new phone as I donot have enough space and they will fill up my memory. They are already in my iCloud  so I shouldn't need them on new phone. I didn't see any option to just restore data rather than media and so photo stream is downloading constantly but wont finish as there is not enough space on phone. How can I just restore contacts to new phone and not pictures? My other option could be to set up as new iphone, but if I do this can I then download the contacts from my icloud seperately?
    Going slowly insane.

    You can't restore only part of the backup.  Only camera roll photos are stored in the backup and they will have to be restored as part of restoring the entire backup.  Photo stream photos are not stored in the backup; photo stream photos from the last 30 days will stream to your new phone when it signs into your iCloud account.  You can stop this by turning off my photo stream in Settings>iCloud>Photos.
    The other thing you should be aware of is that you can't have photos in iCloud that are not also on your phone.  If you delete them from your phone, they will be deleted from iCloud.

  • If your iphone breaks can you still restore everthing from icloud to a new iphone and if so how ?

    Hi everyone my phone recently broke and i had everthing backed up to icloud and not my computer. will i be able to restore everything to a new iphone from icloud and if so how would i do it ? also if i back my iphone up to just my computer and it breaks will i be able to reinstall itunes on a new computer and get everthing from my iphone back ? I was just curious as to which method of backup is better for complete piece of mind if my iphone and computer were to break at the same time (i know that would be unlikely but stranger things have happend haha). hope someone can help me i would really appreciate it .
    Thankyou.

    Yes, you can get the data onto a new iPhone. When you first turn it on, you will need to go through the setup screens, one of which asks if you want to restore from a backup. Choose Restore from iCloud backup and sign in with your Apple ID. For a complete walkthrough of each setup screen, see:

  • How can I upload the photos that I made an my old iPhone from iCloud to my new iPhone?

    ICloud configures the new photos that I make with both my iPhones to both of my iPhones, but I don't get the old ones on my old iPhone to my new iPhone. Can't I just make sure all data from both my iPhones are put together on my new one, so I can stop using my old iPhone? The calendars are put together and my music and all, but the photos and notes not.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Only photos taken after Photostream has been enabled will be added to Photostream. If you want to move the photos from your old phone to your new one, you will need to do it manually.

  • Music won't download from iCloud to iTunes or iPhone

    So, I recently downloaded the new iTunes. And then I realized I have two copies of the same song (one I bought and one was ripped from a CD). I decided to delete one copy. However this deleted all the music from that artist (over  one hundred songs, most ripped from CDs). Luckily, at the time, I had iTunes match. I tried to re-download all of my music. Only some of it began to load. I waited for all of that to download, and tried to get the rest. Again, only some of it worked. Now my iTunes match subscription has expired (I have no desire to renew it), some of my music is still missing, and none of it will start to load, but I still have the option to try to download the missing music from iCloud.
    Most of the music that did download was music I bought from iTunes, but not all of it. I'm not sure if that's the problem, and I should just bust out my CD copies again or what, but I'd really like to know how I can get the rest of my music. I'd prefer the iCloud versions because then my play count won't be messed up and I organize my playlists by number of plays (so newest music is always first).

    I suspect this is the reason you can not download any more music from the cloud.
    Don't you have backups of your personal data you can restore from?

  • HT1414 having trouble restoring the backup from icloud to my new iphone

    I cannot restore my icold backup to my new iphone. Any tips?

    If your backup is newer than the iOS on the phone, you cannot restore from that backup until you update the iOS on the phone first. So is your backup from a newer iOS than what is on the phone? If so, update the phone and then restore from the backup.
    If you would share what happens when you try or provide seem more details - it would be a little easier to offer suggestions.

  • TS3989 how do i get photos from icloud onto my new iphone

    I just had my iphone 4 replaced through warranty, and I would like to get my photos from icloud backup onto my new phone. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are these photos part of a backup or are they in photostream.

  • Apps not downloading from Icloud backup to my iphone 4s

    I had to get a replcement Iphone 4s and the apps will not copy from Icloud or from Itunes they are stuck on "waiting"   I can not seem to get them to start loading again. 

    It only installs 1 at a time.  They all will say waiting except for 1, that should say loading.  You don't see that?

  • How to I transfer my contacts from iCloud to my new iPhone sim?

    Please help with the above!
    Thank you

    You can't store anything on an iPhone SIM.  If your contacts are in iCloud, just go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your account and turn Contacts on.  They will then download to your phone.

  • I can't transfer my iTunes music from iCloud to my new iPhone

    Help.  We've been trying for days.  The phone was backed up to the cloud then when apple replaced the old phone with the new 4s I can't get my songs on my phone.  They r on my iPad and other phones in the house

    If the "new PC" is not an Apple, then your Apple Apps will not be compatible with the PC.  So you are NOT able to transfer them.
    Hope this helps

  • HT201269 I restored from iCloud after purchasing new iphone 5s today. However none of 5s phone features nor apps are showing nor are they seen in settings. Plus my App Store is currently using 894mB of data. Can anyone help????

    I had read to "restore" not the option to set up new device.   Oh also my "messages" data is very high even after I deleted nearly all of them

    If you simply would have posted here first, there are plenty of people who would have informed you of the current policy to have a data plan active on an account during the entire contract if purchasing a discounted smartphone.
    Unfortunately, there are just as many on here who would claim the people informing you about this policy of being Verizon plants spreading disinformation and trying to make people afraid to upgrade via this route.
    Yes this is a new policy, one which has been pointed out multiple times in these forums.  Good luck, but I doubt you will have an outcome over this which will make you happy.
    Verizon is closing as many loopholes to keep unlimited data as they can.

  • When I got my new iPhone, my music didn't transfer over...

    What needs to be done?  Any help greatly appreciated...

    Thanks, I probably should have been more clear.  I'd say about a quarter of my music transferred over, and the rest on my iPod screen is 'greyed out' (i.e., if the song track is in black print, I can touch on it and play it, but if it's in 'grey', it's as though it's not an option).
