My photos are not restoring from my iCloud Backup !, My photos are not restoring from the iCloud Backup! What should I do to make it alright ? Please help !

How can I restore the photos which I restored in my iCloud Backup ?
Does not restore ! Just remaims idle !
Pls help !

I fixed this issue after a lot of time and pain (see below)
Seems to have come up on various threads so it seems to be an issue and should be escalated by Apple. They were none the wiser at the genius bar apart from telling me the iCloud backup is probably corrupted and I should call Apple care (as if that is going to do anything)

I experienced the same problem with the iCloud restore not working properly. I had my iPhone 4 replaced as the home button was defective. When attempting to restore an 9.5GB iCloud backup from the day before it just would not work properly. Firstly, half my apps did not restore, they would begin to download showing the progress indicator then just disappear, leaving my home screen naked. No big deal as apps can be downloaded again.
However, what was a big deal for me was the 1,625 photos on my camera roll, including many of the first year of my kid's life. The camera roll would say downloading x of 1,625 photos, download a few of them, then simply stop downloading any new shots. When I would restart the phone it did not show any downloading message, it believed the restore was complete. I tried about ten different restore scenarios, listed below, all of which gave me varying results (some resulting in all my apps restoring) but all of which would only give me some of my photos back.
What was a comfort was that I once got about 700 of the shots back. So the photos were still in the cloud rather than gone and this indicated that it was the restore process or the iCloud backup on my phone that was the problem. These are the things I tried in sequence as I despairingly tried to get my photos back...
Things I tried that DID NOT work
1) Erase all settings and attempt to restore again from scratch (four times)
2) Tried the restore from a different WiFi network (once)
3) Tried the restore from one WiFi network then switched to another once the restore 'hung' (once)
4) Tried the restore from an Apple store WiFi network (once)
5) Tried the restore from a previous iCloud backup (twice)
6) Had Apple replace the iPhone 4 (once)
With all of these I got a varying amount of my photos and apps back before it stopped restoring. I was also making the mistake (I learnt afterwards) of opening and moving between apps during the download to check progress.
Thing I tried that DID work
1) Did not plug the phone into my MacBook, I used the wall charger only to prevent any iTunes sync activity
2) Erase all settings and data, restore from the iCloud backup and input passwords in all the pop up windows once it reboots.
2) Open photos app gallery to see photos downloading and show the progress message "downloading xx of x,xxx"
3) Left it on this photo screen and did not touch the phone at all for the entire restore. I did not close the photo galley/camera roll app once, open any other apps.
Finally this time round it work and all my photos and apps restored in full. I am going to go back to syncing with iTunes as I don't trust iCloud for restores. It seems that iCloud does not handle photo restores that well, especially if the gallery is large. In short: Wall charger only, restore from iCloud, open Photos app, don't touch. Really hope this works for you too if you've had the same issue.

I recently "Erased all content and settings" on my iTouch and during the reset, it ran out of battery and it has been the apple logo and a loading symbol on the screen for 2 and a half days now. What do I do?

I did drop it from about 4 and a half foot during the reset so I don't know if that has broken it.

See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allo iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore it.
Next try DFU mode.

i have choosen erase all content option on my iphone 4s but its only showing a small clock rotating, can u tell me how much time will it take.

Let it do the rotating thing for about 10-15 min. If it is still doing this, try wiping the phone in iTunes.

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Yes ... from your iPhone.
Hopefully you have them backed up somewhere.

I live in Canada. Each time I travel to the US, I lose all calendar entries. I have to erase all data, then restore from an iCloud backup. Tedious. iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, sync set to all events. Any suggestions?

I live in Canada. Each time I travel to the US, I lose all calendar entries. I have to erase all data, then restore from an iCloud backup. Tedious. iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, sync set to all events. I only use the default calendar. Do I have an incorrect setting?

I did find another point worth mentioning.
I use my iPhone 4 with a corporate Exchange email account. I had deleted the account from my phone just before I did this backup/restore process...and I thought my battery drain was much, much better (if not outright fixed).
Later in the day, after seeing my battery life improve to near-new behavior, I re-added my Exchange mail account. Considering I have 1 yahoo account and 3 gmail accounts, the Exchange account adds a 5th email account.
What happened? Battery drain back to "worst case". Removing or re-adding the Exchange account is like toggling between decent and terrible drain conditions.
Bottom line is that I re-added a couple dozen applications and battery life didn't change. By far, the Exchange account drains the battery worse than any other app and setting. This account must be polling very frequently and since people tend to send very large file attachments to that account, perhaps those effect the battery drain even though I have the account set to not download attachments.
Anyone running Microsoft Exchange might be able to confirm what I see? If so I can open an enterprise ticket with Microsoft and bug them on this issue.

I can't get the menue I am used to in iTunes. It only states "Klargjør iPhone" (Norwegian). Something like "Start up your iPhone". I've done this several times, restarted the iPhone and my computer, but I can't get ready to sync... The phone is working ok and my backup data is restored into the phone.

HT4623 My new iPad mini won't install the update 7.0.6 until it has finished restoring from the iCloud backup. What do I do to make the restoration complete? I have been using the mini for about a month.

I have downloaded iOS 7.0.6 but it will not install until the ipad is finished restoring from the Icloud backup. I've been using the mini for about a month, so why is it not completely restored? How do I make the restore process finish?

When and where was the iPad/charger purchased? It's covered by a 1-year warranty.
The problem may be the USB cable.

Is reset all settings enough to restore factory settings or do I have to erase all content?

Data works without problem on my phone, but sometimes phone calls and SMS messages act like the phone is not on the network. Calls go straight to Voicemail and SMS messages are not received. Unless the phone is rebooted or turned off and on or a phone call is made, I won't get any notice of the voicemails or messages. Again, data is fully connected over the LTE network (push email and iMessages come through without delay).
AT&T blames the phone and told me I needed to reset. I used "reset all settings' and not the "Erase All Content and Settings." Have I fully reset the phone to the point were AT&T should recognize it is not the device and it's settings?

It sounds like you are taking the right steps. Resetting all Settings does return your phone to factory defaults without deleting any of your content. This means you need to go into settings and turn on or off anything you had changed from factory default.
Resetting Network Settings as razmee209 suggested is the next step. You will need to re-enter any wifi ID's and passwords that you may have been using before.
If none of this works, you may need to take the big step of restoring the phone as new and do not restore it from your backup. This will remove all your apps and content so I would only do this as your last step if you cannot get the phone to work the way it should.
There is also the possibility that you have a hardware fault that you might need to have an Apple Genius look at to make sure you do not have a broken phone.

What can I do if while restoring from an iCloud backup, it is stuck on 174 out of 660 of the photos.

I am restoring from an iCloud back up and it says there are 660 photos to be downloaded. It has been stuck on 174 for the past two hours and does not seem to want to download anymore of the 660. I have tried turning the phone off and on and toggling the wifi on and off. Any suggestions?

At some point you may have to reset it to stop the restore (by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing), then try restoring the backup again.

TS4108 If I restore from an iCloud backup will that also re-download the apps I had previously installed? Or will I have to painstakingly have to remember the 300 or so.

I'm having a horrid time trying to transfer settings from one computer to another and just feel like this would be the easy out. I have already locked my sync ability once and had to do a full restore from a backup and if this will reinstall my apps then I just won't bother with moving my 100gb library of apps and things.

When I connect my iphone to itunes, the only options that are available are to set up as a new iphone or restore from an old backup, and I want to do neither of those

Hi, whenever I plug my phone into iTunes, the phone interface pops up and I am given only two options: restore the phone from an old backup, or set the phone up as a new phone. I want to do neither of these things because the phone doesn't need to be restored, and it was set up when I first bought it a couple months ago. Help???

Apparently it does need to be restored because that is what it is requesting. You will need to restore it as New or from a recent backup if you made one.

I cannot restore from an iCloud backup after erasing iPhone 4 on 6.1.3. Any tips? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Restoring from an older backup and then restoring to latest backup

Okay where to begin.... By removing an email account from my phone, I ended up deleting all my 'notes.' Unfortunately I had encrypted my backup and therfore cannot find a third party software that can restore just my notes. I also found how to rename an old back-up, then (after unchecking 'encrypt backup'!) create a new backup in order to have multiple backups. My plan is to now restore to my first backup, recover my notes, then restore to my latest backup. My concern is that I will lose the pictures from my camera awesome app that I have taken since my fist backup, or even the ones before. There seems to be issue access those pics through windows explorer. Through research I have found that I do not understand what is and what is not backed up (to the detail at least that I am concerned with i.e. photos within a particular app). So what can I expect if I move forward with my plan or is there a way I can just restore/view my notes from the original encrypted backup? By the way I do in fact remember the password for the encrypted backup.

To quote myself:
