I can't approve my iPhone for restore from iCloud

I had to reset my iPhone 5 s (running iOS 10) but I can't restore from my backup to iCloud. He asked my previous username for my iPhone, I forgot. On the screen, it is said, "go to one of your other devices signed in iCloud to approve this iPhone". I tried to sign on another iPhone and checked the settings from iCloud, but it does not work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

See if the suggestions contained in another thread on the same topic might help or not - iCloud Keychain stuck on 'pending approval from another device'

  • iPhone 7 restore from iCloud still holding

    Hello, I have a new iPhone 7. Recently, I had saved my old iPhone 6 and wanted to restore the new iPhone 7 of my backup. I started the process of restoring the day I got my phone and it of been two weeks and is apparently still restore. I often have my phone on and loading and very good WiFi connection, but the restoration has not yet completed. I have some new updates to iOs which must be installed but that cannot be done until the restoration is complete. What should I do? When I look at my phone, it seems that I'm not missing any information. Any suggestions?

    He says that it restores from a backup on your lock screen, is thus that which is telling you that he has not finished?

    You have the ability to stop the restore process when you go to settings > iCloud > Backup? If so, then stop it. It could be an application that has not been fully downloaded, or other media that has not yet downloaded. I got my iPhone do that once in a while and like you, could see nothing which has not been restored. Maybe it's stuck saying it restore even if it's really over. A restore of backup should not take more than a few hours at most.

    If you do not see a way to stop the restore, then reset your unit: hold the home and power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the lock screen is displayed.

  • I accidentally reset my phone and trying to restore from icloud, but is not on the list of backup? Is it possible to see several backups?

    I accidentally reset my phone and lost all data. I'm trying to restore from icloud... from backups but cannot find my iphone on the backup list? Is it possible to see several backups that have occurred?

    Thank you.

    There will be only one backup in iCloud for any device. iCloud backups are incremental, but each new incremental backup replaces the previous one. They are not cumulative because who would use quickly to the top of the default free people 5 GB of space.

    Is there no backup showing in the storage area in your iCloud for this device account, then he never supported.

  • My iPad Pro 'restore from iCloud save' at a standstill.

    My iPad Pro 'restore from iCloud save' at a standstill and the iTunes app doesn't load completely (all the rest has however). There is still a message on the screen saying "restoration of iCloud save"... but nothing happens. Settings says I have to download iOS 9.2, but I can't do that until the iCloud back till the end. What should I do?

    Hello MoBro,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message that takes longer than expected to restore your backup to iCloud.  The restore process can take some time and depends on the amount of data is being restored, as well as speed and using the connection of the network Wi - Fi iPad.  For more information, please see the information below:

    Restore my device from a backup to iCloud takes a long time

    Restoring a backup can take time because of the size of the backup or the speed of Wi - Fi network. For example, iCloud may take about 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte during a restore process.

    There are several steps that follow:

    • In iOS 8 or later, check the status of the transfer on your device under settings > iCloud > Backup. If the restore process is in progress, the backup setting is gray.
    • Make sure that your device is connected to the Internet with reliable WiFi.
    • Make sure that your device is plugged into a power outlet.
    • Check the Apple progress bar that is displayed during the transfer of a backup.

  • Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

    The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .


    I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

    Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

    I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

    My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

    If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

    Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

    And while I'm here - what is the best way to manage a very large library? I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this. I overlooked this piece of household by the end of 2015, and now it's happened again... Surely, there must be an easier way to manage libraries of images of several years?

    Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

    Yes, if you don't have a useful upward on your Mac.

    How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

  • Infinite loop - Restrictions PIN forgotten, can't stop to find my iPhone for restoration

    I have an iPhone 6 for my children. I forgot the PIN code for restrictions affecting. When you make selections for the restrictions, I put it that nobody could change anything without my PIN entry for restrictions. So, it would mean that 'Find my iPhone' cannot be disabled without knowledge of the PIN for restrictions.

    The easy solution is to restore the phone. However, in order to restore the phone, I received instruction to turn off "find my iPhone". So, I'm stuck in an infinite loop. I've seen several recovery programs, but some lead to links that were not there, others have asked me to pay for the program, and others seemed questionable.

    Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.

    You have to force into recovery mode to restore.
