Hi, I received my iPhone 6 Plus this past Friday November 7 in the mail from Verizon Wireless. After connecting my iPhone 6 Plus to iTunes, iTunes reported that my phone could not be restored from a backup because my iPhone 6 Plus software was older than my backup. So, I proceeded to update my phone to IOS 8.1. I still had problems, I could not make an out bound call. So, off to the Apple store. I had both phones with me, the 5 and the 6 Plus. The apple technician immediately saw that my carrier was not showing up at the top left. Since technicians are allowed 10 minutes with customers, he merely swapped the sim card from my iPhone 5 and put it into the 6 Plus. Well, that wasn't really a fix, but it was a short resolution for the technician.
So, I came home and reconnected my iPhone 6 Plus to iTunes and attempted a restoration. After putting in my Apple ID in several times, a friend suggested that I try other passwords. So, I tried my iCloud Chain password, and Walla. I share this just in case others might encounter such a horendus experience. All the best.
