How do I restore from older backups on iCloud

How do I restore from older backups on iCloud?

Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.  Sign into your iCloud account, agree to the terms and conditions and you will then be asked what backup you want to restore from.  (Apple states that it maintains your three most recent backups.)

    How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    Restoring an iCloud backup requires you to first erase your iPad.  If you have any newer data that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iPad backup.

  • How do I restore an older backup to my iPod Touch 5g?

    I did a reset of my iPod Touch 5g when a lot of storage got locked, would not release, after I had deleted a large amount of music.  Redoing all of the settings will be a royal pain!
    I have an older backup (from before iOS8 update I think) on my PC.  I would like to restore that backup.  The restore routine in iTunes only shows the most recent backup, but I found some older ones in the C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder, one that matches the list of backups shown under Preferences | Devices.  How do I make that backup available to the restore routine?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    i have a iphone 4 and while installing a program it froze now itunes says it can not read the info on my iphone how do i restore from a back up i made this morning

    First, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and disable automatic syncing (iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically").  Now connect your phone, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup.  When done, you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.

  • HT1766 Restoring from older backup

    Can I restore my iPad to an older backup? I hooked up my iPad to restore it to the last backup, but it auto synced and created a new backup. If I go into Edit/Preferences/Devices I see a list of backups. Can I delete the current backup and restore to the previous?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Right click on the name of your iPad in the Devices list of the iTunes app on your computer and choose Restore from Backup. You should then be able to choose which backup to use.

  • HT4859 How do I restore from a backup after the initial setup?

    My phone died and I got a new one from the store.  I didn't remember what my account was and we started up the phone without my appleid.   Now I'd like to restore from a previous backup.  How can I do that?

    Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.
    Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

  • How can I restore an older backup?

    During today's operating system update on my iPhone 5, something went wrong. The update didn't work, and the phone was restored to factory settings.
    I went to restore my latest backup - fully expecting that the latest connection and sync backed everything up prior to the software update. Unfortunately, iTunes actually backed up the post-restore to factory settings instead of the backup created earlier in the day. As a result, I am without my photos, text messages, updated contacts, etc.
    How can I find and restore this morning's backup instead of this afternoon's factory default backup?
    Help greatly appreciated!!

    Does this mean I have no recoverable backups for this device?
    Other than the one listed, that would appear to be the case.
    It's curious that backups for two other iPhones in the family are dated from 1982 and 1981.
    Since the first iPhone was released in 2007, those are not iPhone backups.

  • Time Machine doesn't want to restore from older backups

    Hi I really am disappointed,I have a Transcend 500GB Hard drive and I have periodically been making backups from my Macbook Pro 13inch,when I tried to restore a file in Time Machine it either didn't respond or I could not move the slider to a different date.I then tried to do a system restore from one of my dates in Time Machine with my Mac OS install CD.It did the backup restore but then told me I had to shut down my Mac,I did but each time it would only come back to that message.I had to do a clean install,But now it seems I have lost all my backups all I want is some files and ma iTunes library.Can anyone help!!!Greatly appreciated.

    Were you using your Snow Leopard Install disc? A Leopard disc can't successfully restore a Snow Leopard backup. If that's what you did, just do it over, with the Snow Leopard disc -- it should be fine.
    I had to do a clean install,But now it seems I have lost all my backups all I want is some files and ma iTunes library.Can anyone help!!!Greatly appreciated.
    If using the Snow Leopard disc doesn't work, repair your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    If you haven't done any backups since reloading, don't.
    Then see if your backups are there. (You may need to use the +*Browse ...+* option, per #E2 in Troubleshooting.) If so, and if you haven't done any backups since reloading, you may be able to use +Migration Assistant+ to recover your apps, users, data, etc. See the pink box in #19 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for details.

  • Itunes restoring from older backup

    so about 3 days ago my mother threw my phone into a pitcher of water and the buttons, speakers, and microphone went out. so before it actually completly dies on me, i wanted to back it up one last time and restore it to see maybe if some of the issues would go away since i need it to last until the iphone 5s comes out. so i backed it up (2 times actually for good measure) and restored it. after restoring it i went to put all my stuff back on it. except the back up i need is not on there. instead it gives me the option to restore from backups it did when i plugged it in to restore my back ups ( basically they're blank back ups since nothing is on them).
    but when i go into preferences the back up i need is there, but it has a lock on it and it doesnt show up when i click restore from back up.
    i need to use the one from yesterday at 4:58 due to the fact it has all my photos on it (12gb to be exact) and also app data.
    is there any way i can use the one that is locked or be able to find my old back ups on my computer? (backed up about every 3-5 days)

    I dont want a full restore!!! i want ONLY my sms!@#$%$ I cant imagine that this is so dificult! we are in 2013!!
    I have used a tool that I extracted them to my hard disk and now I want to transfer them!!
    I tried someday to do a full restore but the old backup had errors.. i have saved my contacts and other stuff and now i want the sms

  • Can't restore from older backups

    MacBook Air failed after upgrade to 10.5.4. Reinstalled from original Leopard Mac OS X DVD with the intention of doing full restore from Time Capsule backup immediately prior to update.
    Time Capsule doesn't recognise backups prior to the Leopard reinstallation. Since I used the wrong install disc (standard Leopard rather than MacBook Air version) I can't use Remote Disk and my SuperDrive appears to go unrecognised, so I can't use the "Restore" option from the installation DVD. I can see the backups in the Finder on the Time Capsule disc, I just can't get to them...

    Can you run Migration Assistant and restore from your Time Capsule backup that way?

  • HT4858 restore from older backup

    before i updated to ios7 my icloud was using 900mb. after updating to ios7 icloud says i have 5gb left and cannot find my old photos. is there any way of getting the 900mb of photos back

    I'm sure this is out there already, but if you "right-click" on the device you wish to restore, in the left column of iTunes, one of the options there is "restore from backup".

  • IPhone app (shapewriter) is corrupted. App's no longer in the Store. How can I restore from my backup?

    An iPhone app that I love has become corrupted. This app is no longer available in the Store. Can I restore the app from my phone backup? How? Anything to watch out for?
    Shapewriter was purchased by Nuance. As most Dragon users will tell you, Nuance treats its customers badly; apparently it does the same to companies it buys. Soon after they bought Shapewriter, they took it down from the store. Rumor has it that they just bought it as a weapon in some patent battle. Sad: it's a really cool app.

    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
