i cannot get my icloud information to transfer to my new iphone 6
I cannot get my icloud to transfer all my contacts, aps etc to my new iphone 6. I have it backed up but cannot get it to transfer.
Contact info is not part of the backup in iCloud.
If all contact info is synced to iCloud, go to Settings/iCloud and switch off "contacts". Tap on "yes" when asked if you want to keep the contact info on the phone.
Reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, then activate contact syncing again in Settings/iCloud.
Apps are not part of the backup, only the app data. Apps can be download again for free.
- Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.
