  • How to restore Apps from icloud backup

    Hi,
    My first post here. I did some searching but couldn't find what I need so I am trying to ask it now directly.
    My iPhone 3GS is shutting down when phone is busy like trying to open camera, trying to play a game, trying to check an email. It shuts down and when I tried to power On it says battery is drained. But when I charge, it will power on and battery is back to where it was when it shut down.
    Did significant reading around here in community and i did see lots of suggestions to reset my phone.
    First try, I backup my phone in iCloud (while charging otherwise it wont finish). Then I reset my phone and select reset all (erase all data)
    Then I tried to restore from iCloud backup.
    Result: problem still persist on a newly restored iPhone.
    Second try. I reset once again and choose start as new.Seems I can now check my email without shutting down.
    Now to my question. How can I restore my apps from my icloud back up one by one.I only want to restore apps that carries my important files like images, FileApp.
    Question 2: Do I have to buy and pay all my app again?
    Thanks

    That is really sad . I guess I have to restore from backup and do all manual copies then reset again to make a fresh start.
    I am once an iPhone fanatic that won't consider changing to other phones but now it seems that I have to reconsider.
    I mean, it's great but "all or nothing" method is what apple is implementing from day 1. Like a basic example of iTune contents. Why cant you choose what to put on your computer/phone. Why does it has to delete all phone contents.
    Anyway.. Thanks. At least now I know what to do now.

  • HT4859 How to restore 4s from icloud after device has been activated

    I have an iCloud account and activated a new 4s today before selecting to restore it since it was going to take to long. Now I can't figure out to go back and restore it?

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • How to restore iPhone from previous backup

    Hi all, I'm really hoping someone can help me.  I tried updating the OS for my iphone thru iTunes.  It backed up my phone,
    then tried to do a restore (said time left was 19 hours - this lasted for about 7 hours before I unplugged the phone from computer).
    I have located the last backup I would to be restored to my phone but when I plug my phone in to the computer and try to do a
    'restore backup' it says the phone does not have any backups.  iTunes does not recognize the last back up, how do I get it to recognize
    it?  I have lost everything off the phone and now it looks like a new phone to iTunes.  HELP someone please!!  Thank you!

    When you activated and setup your new 5S, you should've had the option to restore from your backup.
    If you have no data on your 5S - then go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipie your phone clean as new.  Go thru the setup and you'll see restore from backup or set up as new, choose the icloud backup.

  • How to restore "notes" from icloud backup

    I was trying to clear data from my old computer (to give to my little sister), and I accidentally deleted all my "notes" from the "mail" program (not just from that computre, but even on the icloud apparently)!
    Is there anyway to restore the notes back to my phone & new computer from my last icloud back up?

    the harder solution may require this to help you show the hidden files so to recover deleted notes on iPhone...
    If you synced your iPhone with itunes.
    to restore from a previous backup, be sure to go into iTunes before you
    connect your iPod Touch or iPhone and set iTunes > preferences > devices
    and check “prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically.This ensures we don’t erase the previously stored backup.

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

  • How to restore a deleted iCloud backup? I deleted the backup to free up the 5 GB free storage and now on my iPhone some of my Contacts are missing a phone

    How to restore a deleted iCloud storage backup?
    I deleted it all to free up the free 5 GB storage and now on my iPhone 5s some of my Contacts are missing a phone # info and some of the Contacts are missing entirely. Thank you.

    I used this to restore my deleted notes from Time Machine, hope this helps others
    closed Notes,
    turned WiFi off,
    entered finder/go+option/ to 'get to library':  /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/
    entered TM and selected the 3 files/ hit restore/ keep both (just to make sure, then I deleted the newer file, not the 'restored' file when this worked out)
    opened notes and my deleted notes were back so I copied my notes into pages as a backup,
    turned on WiFi and the notes disappeared!
    replaced my restored notes by copy/pasting my backups into notes/iCloud.... 
    notes/mac would not show across iCloud.... don't remeber this being an issue prior to Mavericks when 'all' notes were selected?
    Apple needs to hear from us so they can fix glitches like this.  TM was created for instances like this, hopefully this is just an oversite.  Pass this along to Apple Feedback/iCloud/bug.  If enough of us flag such issues, hopfully it's addressed on the next update.
    Dear Apple, this should be much easier than it is. We should be able to open Notes, go into Time Machine, and restore anything regardless if it's on my Mac or on the cloud.

  • HT4910 How do I restore iPhone from icloud?

    How do I restore my backup from ICloud onto my new iPhone?

    When setting it up you will be given the option to Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Select this, be sure you're connected to wifi and your external charger as restoring from an iCloud backup can sometimes take quite a while to complete.
    If you already set up your new phone, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings and start over.

  • Getting "not enough space on iphone" error when trying to restore iPhone from latest backup in iTunes.

    Recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1.3 and lost all of my contacts after doing so.  Tried to restore phone to latest backup performed in iTunes but I get an error message that tells me there's not enough space on my iPhone to perform the restoration.  The ultimate problem I'm trying to solve is the loss of my contacts so if there's another way to solve that please let me know. If restoring my phone is a proper solution please help me do so. 
    1.  How do I get my contacts back?
    2.  How do I restore my iPhone from latest backup when getting "not enough space" error?
    Please help!

    Contacts are not part of the backup. They are seperate and either you need to sync them with an email program such as outlook or use icloud mail,contacts, and calendars on the phone. Unless you did that then the contacts are gone.

  • Help Restoring iPhone from iTunes Backup

    My daughter was having problems with her iPhone 5. It was just acting strange, locking up and being weird. So I backed it up to iTunes and did a complete reset.
    When I tried to restore from the backup, nothing. The restore seems to run fine for about 3-4 minutes, then the restore progress window just closes and the phone is disconnected from my iMac. No error messages are displayed anywhere - neither on the phone nor in iTunes.
    I have tried this with 2 different OEM Apple cables, in 2 different USB ports, and even ensured that I had the latest iTunes (11.04, I did)... rebooted the iMac... tried the restore again.
    The next step was to put the phone in DFU mode and do a new restore. Same results.
    Anyone with any idea what is wrong? I would expect some sort of error message in the very least, but I’m getting nothing.
    nothing works. She has lost photos, text messages, contacts (no iCloud backup) and game progress. And I am in deep doo-doo with my daughter.

    If you have a backup on iCloud, wipe your device and when you activate it you will have the opportunity to restore again from that backup.
    better yet, if you have a backup in iTunes it will go a LOT faster to restore from there.
    Verizon cxl'd the iCloud restore because it can take hours and they certainly don't want you to wait around in their store.
