Problem when restoring from my icloud account.

I just restore my iPhone 5 from my icloud account and all icons are "waiting".


Soon get the following message: "You have reached your limit of devices" / "This Apple ID has been restored to the maximum number of devices in the last 90 days."


I share my Apple ID with 2 Ipad mini and 2 Iphones.


Thanks for the help.User uploaded file

Your Apple ID can only be associated with 10 devices, 5 of which can be computers. Once a device is associated with an ID, it cannot be associated with a different ID for 90 days. Once this limit is reached, you can't use features like redownloading past purchases from this ID with a new device, which is what happens at the end of the iCloud restore process. You can still sync your purchased media to your device using iTunes.
