Why wont my new phone restore to my icloud backup?

I  just got my phone from the apple store, because i needed mine replaced. When im doing the setup it says, "Choose to set up as a new iphone or restore from a backup"
When i go to restore from icloud, it then says "No icloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (6.0.2) on this iphone."
What does that mean? and why cant i restore it! i know for a fact i had all my stuff backed up to icloud, i did it right before i got a new phone, i also did it once a week.
please help

Exactly what's happened to me... Did u manage to solve the problem?

    i need to restore my phone with my icloud backup. my phone had to be set up as a new phone to install the newest opperating system , now i can not retreave my old information backed up in icloud

    To restore from your iCloud backup, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • New Phone doesn't recognize iCloud backup photos!!

    My iPhone lock button stopped working so I took it to the apple store and they swapped it out for a new one thankfully since it was under warranty.  The gentleman said that it would take about 20min to upgrade it to ios7 and transfer the infor from my previous retore that ws in iCloud so that I could just do that at home if I wanted to.  I opted to go ahead and do it from home since the Apple Store had sooo many people in it.  I came home and updated to iOS7 and selected my backup from the night before which was 2.7GB.  Everything looked likee all my apps are on my phone, but none of the data really. And my photo stream had showed 814 pictures the night before and 314 photos on my camera roll. Currently there are only 94 photos on my phone!!   How do I get ALL!! Of the back up to restore to my phone please?? 
    Thank you.

    Photo stream servers only keep photos for up to 30 days then they are deleted.  These photos will remain on a device's photo stream folder, but if the stream is turned off and then on again, only the currently stored photos are downloaded back to the device.  This is what happened to you.
    Always move photos from a photo stream group to another album for safe keeping.
    Using icloud backup to secure photos is risky for a number of reasons.  Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

  • I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C.  I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup.  Why is it doing this.  I did it twice yesterday.....

    I just recently upgraded from a 4S to a 5C.  I backloaded the 5 from Itunes and now everytime i plug into itunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from a previous backup.  Why is it doing this.  I did it twice yesterday.....  In addtion, those are the only options I have.  I cannot do anything else unless I choose one of the two.  Zero options.  Phone works fine though.

    I figure that either of those options will result in losing all SMS and data created since the last backup. Not a major loss, but ** annoying when nothing has changed and the time it will take to restore.
    When was the last time you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the backup is updated as the first step during the sync process?
    Is there anyway to recover this WITHOUT having to do a full restore or set up as new?
    In a word, no.
    If I do restore or set up as new, how do I know it's not going to do the same thing tomorrow (like a few other forums threads I've read indicate might happen)?
    There is no way to know for certain but I've never experienced the same in the first place. I venture to say having to do this is the exception rather than the rule.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • New Phone Restore

    I'm having trouble setting up my new iphone 4s - I'm trying to back it up in itunes from my old (only 10 mths old) iphone 4 but it's not working. I've never had any trouble before when upgrading so I really can't tell what the problem is or if I'm doing something wrong.

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save 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 as was done when the phone was new; just follow the on-screen directions. At one point you will be given the option to Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Choose this option.  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

    Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

    I believe that Nik is having trouble adhering to Apple's "identified developer" requirements.
    there is a FAQ on Nik site regarding problems with their installers.
    a guess.

  • 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.

  • I lost my iPhone. If I wipe the device will I be able to restore my old iCloud backups to my new iPhone when I get it?

    I lost my iPhone. If I wipe the device will I be able to restore my old iCloud backups to my new iPhone when I get it?

    Yes.  It will only erase the phone, not any data or backups from icloud.com.  If you think it was stolen, you might want to read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668.
