how to transfer icloud backup to new iphone

I bought a new (to me) iPhone 8


#1 I did a backup on my (now old) iPhone 6

#2 I started the migration by holding the old iPhone close to the new one and all was good until I got to the part where I was to login to my apple-id account

# now my iPhone is "spinning" while telling me: afventer godkendelse (awaiting authentication I believe is the english term)


So - I turned on my iPad and tried to login to my apple account - but now my iPad is spinning too :(


It's not the login - I tried to login via my husbands browser and that worked OK - so I guess it must be some dead-lock or what not?


any thoughts, help, would surely be most welcome :)


love,

Anne

iPhone 8, 12

Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.




Try a restart.
