My iPad Mini had an internal problem so I got a new one from the Apple store.
The problem is I'm trying to back up my new one from iCloud and I get a message saying
that my back ups are not compatible with iOS9? What do I do? I don't want to set it up as a new iPad.
I want to back up all my info. Please help!!!
iPad Mini, iOS 9.1
What iOS was used to create the backup to start with? Is it possible the backup was made with iOS 9.x, and the replacement only has iOS 9.0? Check what iOS is on the replacement iPad. If it is not the latest, and the original device had the latest, then you will need to set up the iPad as new, update the iOS, then go into Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Then you can restore to the iCloud backup.
