Back up from computer and icloud failed...

My ipad 2's home button was not responding properly. I was adviced to restore the device by the retailed seller. I backed up the device to both icloud and computer. I've been using icloud for a long time. Later, I hard reseted the device reloaded it from the computer; however, pages, keynotes and numbers files are not loaded properly. The folders and file names are there but the files are missing. By the way icloud synchronization has stopped due to some unidentified error. Please HELP!!! I can not recover my works.

Thanks, this is what I thought!
I understand that iCloud doesn't back up apps though? Is this correct or does it back up the same content as iTunes?
The other issue I was having with restoring from iCloud (which I initially tried to do before restoring from iTunes) was that the restore would commence and a few minutes from the end it would disconnect from the Wifi and fail. I did this a few times and it kept failing. I don't think this is my wifi as it works perfectly fine for my Mac and iPad during this time...

I have read that Snow Leopard isn't support by Icloud. I am thinking of upgrading to Maverick, but first need to back up my computer.
Also, if I upgrade, will my programs such as the Adobe Creative Suite stay on my computer?

You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud; and you cannot use most of iCloud's facilities with Snow Leopard. You should get an external hard disk and make a clone - that's the safest possible backup as you can boot from it in an emergency.
You will need to check that your Mac meets the requirements for Mavericks:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Programs already on your Mac will stay on your Mac but you should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible and need updating - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Hi i recently bought 8gb of ram and installed it in my mid 2010 13' macbook pro, but whenever i start my computer it freezes at the apple sign in the startup. I just put back my default 4gb of ram back into my computer and it runs fine. Any suggestions?

jamiesfromportland, greetings: I do not take issue with your very valid reasons for purchasing RAM from Apple. However by recommending not to purchase RAM from third party vendors I would suggest is unfounded advice. Most of the problems that occur with third party RAM are attributable to the lack of adherence to the required specifications, viz. this post.
I would be willing to wager that purchasing RAM from reputable vendors such as OWC or Crucial one would find similar fail/success ratios as those purchased from Apple. In both cases this assumes that the specifications are adhered to.
I have always purchased RAM upgrades from third party vendors with no performance issues. True that I do so to save money but I do not skimp on quality.
Ciao.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
Håkan

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

I live in a home with two other people, and one housemate tried to sync up his content from iTunes and iCloud onto another housemate's new iPad. the iTunes library only contains my content. is there any way to retrieve the there person's iCloud?

I just bought and backed up my computer and time machine with a "Seagate BackUp Plus for Mac". Now my time machine is empty. Panicked. can anyone help?

Lets start over...
Please restart the network.. shut down everything..
Restart in order.. modem.. router.. if different to TC.. or TC.. client devices.. wait 2min between each startup.
If the TC does not show up on the computer, in finder.. then we need more info.. what OS are you running?
Does the TC show up in Airport utility? Are you running wireless or ethernet?
If you still have issues.. plug the TC directly into the computer by ethernet.
Do a full factory reset of the TC.. and see if it now shows up.
Please tell us exactly what model TC it is and how old.. the A1xxx model number from the base will help if you don't know.
You take a screen shot of the TC opened in finder.
eg..
My TC is named Tardis4.. click on it.. and then open the data folder.. on this one called Tardisdata.
Then take a screen shot of it so we can see what the problem is.. screenshot.. with area selection.. control + shift + 4 .. the picture goes into the desktop.. and then you click the picture icon in the posting web page controls and select the picture.

HT5262 If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream in my iPhone, will they be deleted from Dropbox and iCloud?

If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream in my iPhone, will they be deleted from Dropbox and iCloud?

They will be deleted from iCloud any other devices that are sharing the account/photo stream. They shouldn't be deleted from Dropbox. As I understand it, Dropbox only automatically uploads photos, it doesn't automatically delete photos.

I deleted my iMovie from computer and from my purchases list in AppStroe. When I'm trying to download it again from App Store a pop up window comes up and says: "These apps were already assigned to your Apple ID and are available in your Purchases list"

I deleted my iMovie from computer and from my purchases list in AppStroe. When I'm trying to download it again from App Store a pop up window comes up and says: "These apps were already assigned to your Apple ID and are available in your Purchases list". Please help me to reinstall it.

If new versions of iPhoto and the other iLife applications (iMovie and GarageBand) were purchased by the previous owner from the Mac App Store, then they will be locked to the previous owner's Apple ID and cannot be transferred to you. You will have to re-purchase them under your own Apple ID.
If this is an older MBA that came with Snow Leopard or an earlier version of Mac OS X, though, the system would have come with an installation disk that included the iLife applications, a disk which the seller should have provided to you. Those iLife applications would be older versions, of course, and may or may not work in Lion depending on how old they are.
Regards.

Once more after some thinking: I have a Lightroom backup from jan 5th. It seems better to use this, but how do I do to force LR to start from the latest backup?

I'm not a Mac user so can't speak specifically about using Time Machine but if it is possible to get to an earlier version of the Lightroom Catalog then I would try that, yes. Backups are another way of doing this. Just make sure you make a copy of your current Catalog before replacing it with another one.

HT4623 Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday (1st time ever). Backing up content to icloud but would not quit. Screen would not disappear. Finally disconnected phone from computer and lost EVERYTHING. Can I get it back?

Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday to ios 6 (first time ever). Backed up my content to icloud, but it wouldn't quit. Remained on that screen for HOURS. Finally disconnected phone from computer. Still would not go away--just the "circle of death." Restarted phone and lost EVERYTHING (pics, contacts and apps). Can I get them back? Are they somewhere out in cyberspace or lost for good?

You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
So far I have tried the following to no avail:
Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
Reinstalled the latest itunes.
Reset the ipod.
Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

Deleted icloud from my iphone and it deleted all my contacts, calendar events etc etc. i then stupidly i think synced my phone. I want to back up from computer to phone to see if I can restore contacts - can someone tell me step by step how to do this?

can anyone help me please. i stupidly deleted icloud as i thought that was what was giving me problems with phone. didnt realise it would delete all my contacts as well. i then, again stupidly I think, synced my phone backing up the phone to the computer and probably overriding the cotnacts that were on my computer? Anyway, can anyone tell me how you back up from the computer BACK TO THE PHONE to see if I can get my contacts back? Would be very grateful if you could give me the step by step idiots guide as I am really nervous around technical stuff
many thanks = chatterwind

Hi Khuram1981 - thank you thank you thank you! All sorted! dont suppose you know how to fix another problem I have??? for weeks now, since updating to ios5 I think, for some reason every time I have tried to log onto app store it says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE. It's nothing to do with my computer, and I've been to the Geniius bar but they couldnt help and nothing I seem to do lets me update my Apps and even worse, I cant even buy any more. Any suggestions?
Again thank you SO much for helping with other problem = a real relief.

Switch back and forth from computer to icloud

Hi everyone, just got myself a 4gb iphone 4s, My question is
In itunes i have selected to back up some photos and music imported from discs to my computer
but im thinking of using some of my free 5gb icloud allowance to back up some apps and purchased movies to icloud,
so if i downloaded some apps and purchased movies to my phone will it let me store these seperately on icloud without
transferring what i already have backed up on my computer, or if i select back up to icloud after downloading the apps and movies
will it transfer everything to icloud including what is presently backed up to my computer, can i move back and forth like this
choosing to back up some but not all content to icloud, Thanks in advance for any help given cheers willdoc.

HI, I don't think you can backup movies or indeed your personal media in general into iCloud. My understanding is that the iCloud backup of a device will backup application data & settings that would previously have been backed up on a computer. As Winston says you don't have any freedom to move individual files into and out of your iCloud storage.
Your apps and store purchases other than movies can be downloaded at any time, your non-iTunes-purchased media and any movies need to be backed up locally. Rather than looking at iCloud as a complete backup solution it may be better to treat it as a partial solution which gives you the freedom to access your purchase history (excluding movies) on demand and, if you care to subscribe to iTunes Match, extends that freedom to your non-iTunes-purchased music.
If your real need is for a backup solution then I'd recommend you look at Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.
Ah, you fooled me by posting in the iCloud on my Mac forum but I gather from your other posts that you are a Windows user. See this User Tip for a backup strategy...

HT4847 I backed up my iphone 2 days ago via icloud. I now have restored my iphone to the factory settings and I need to retrieve the data that I backed up 2 days ago from icloud. My phone is only giving me an option to back up from my ipad icloud. Please

Please Help
I had lost all the music on my iphone a while back and wanted to put it back on but my PC is a dinosaur and couldn't handle the sync without taking days. I decided to give it a go anyway. I tried to sync but kept getting an error message saying "waiting for changes to be applied". I looked up a solution to this problem and I saw that I should restore the phone to factory settings which I did. I then tried to sync again and it worked! .....the downside was that it took forever and I was without a phone for 36 hrs while I waited for sync to complete. It was at 662 0f 771 last night when I went to bed and when I awoke this morn, syncing had ceased and my phone was still erased of all data.
I am thinking now that everything was done and all I needed to do was turn off my phone and turn back on again but in a panic I selected an option on the phone to back up from icloud (as I knew I had done a backup 2 days ago). The only option available was "ipad backup" from over a week ago and stupidly I selected this option. It was successful but my contacts, mail, messages, photos and most importantly my notes and reminders are gone!!!
I have now restored the phone back to factory settings again.
WHAT DO I DO NEXT??

I went back to iOS 7 and my backup file is restoring but when its done nothing is on my phone still and only takes 11-15 minutes to restore the backup instead of taking 25+ minutes like usual so I guess the backup is corrupted. How can I fix this?

Back up from computer and icloud failed...
