  • How do I get my contacts back on my phone from iCloud?

    I recently went on vacation and for some reason, my contacts got wiped out. No clue why, but I got on iCloud.com and found that all of my contacts are still there. I can't restore my phone because I've never synced it to a computer and I know that once I do, the back up that will be on my computer to use for the restore is how my phone is now, with the very few contacts I put back in. Instead of putting them all back in manually, how do I get the contacts on my phone from iCloud.

    Not syncing/backing up the device is simply not smart. 
    Restoring the device is unlikely to have any affect on the device or the contacts.
    Settings > iCloud > Contacts, turn it on.
    If it is already on, open the Contacts app and select the Groups option in the upper left corner.  Select the iCloud account and then Done.  All the contacts should now appear.

    The Help page you came here from gives you all the information; without the previous owner's password or his removing the phone from his list of devices you cannot proceed and I'm afraid your phone is useless.

  • If I delete my backup date from iCloud from my 4s will I still have all my data on my phone so I can do an up to date back up?

    Hi I've purchased a 5s and just tried putting my backed up data on it, but since it's an ok old back up it had some problems.
    Is there anyway that I can delete the data from iCloud with out it loosing data on my current phone so I can do an up to date back up to put on my 5s?

    You don't need to delete the backup, just backup your new phone to icloud.

  • HT4859 Restore phone from iCloud

    Just got replacement iPhone 4S started resorting data from iCloud in apple shop but then came home before it completed. Connected to wifi at home but restoration won't complete. What do I do now?

    You and your wife are using the same ID for icloud - that is your problem.  Using the same ID keeps all devices in sync.  Delete something from one device and it goes from all devices.  You should each use your own IDs (have two icloud accounts - but if sharing the same ID for the itunes store, you can keep that ID on each device for the store, not icloud).
    To restore from an icloud backup -
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    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.
    Changing accounts, creating new account -
    If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
    To create a new icloud account, go to

  • Why can i not restore my phone from icloud?

    I had my i phone 4s stole about a month ago and i got my replacement from my insurance this week.
    The problem is, when i'm trying to set up the phone and asked if i want to restore from icloud back up, it searches and says there is no back up available. But when i log in to icloud on the phone (i continued setting up as new phone) i can see my last back up as "30.10.12".
    How can i restore my phone??

    If the device you are trying to restore is running an older version of iOS than the one you backed up, you'll have to update it to the latest iOS before the backup will be available to restore from (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3682).  If that's the case, update your device, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content & Settings, then go back through the setup screens again and see if your backup is now visible.

  • Restoring phone from icloud?? am I missing something here...

    Hi All:
    I recently restored my iphone and everythign is now wipped from it.
    I went to make a phone call today and was like, oh right, I wiped it out but then thought of the icloud backup I have. How do I restore my contacts or anything from icloud.
    there is nothing on the website about restoring to the phone, I went into itunes but that did not really have anything about restoring the phone other than re-doing what I just did.
    Did I miss something in the restore process that says "click here to restore from cloud"?
    Thanks for any help or advice on this,
    Paul

    At the top of the screen in the app store, I see a choice - "Iphone" "IPad".
    Do you not have this choice?

    From the OP's post:
    "my phone was damaged"
    I suspect the OP can't do any of that.

  • How do i get all of my music back to my phone from icloud?

    Recently had to restore my phone for unknown reasons but now that i have it going again all of my music has a cloud with an arrow pointing down on it..which i know means it has to be downloaded from icloud. Is there any way i can do them all at once rather than doing them one by one?

    You can download entire albums and playlists by selecting them and tapping the download symbol at the top.

  • HT201365 I removed/erased my phone from icloud - but I am still required to enter my apple id and password

    I restored my iphone 4 and as I was about to activate it - it required my apple id and password. I can see that it is my apple id - so i entered the data. However I keep on receiving a message saying [ "my e-mail" cannot be used to unlock this iPhone.]
    I then checked if the phone is still on the list of my devices in "Find My Phone" - via icloud.com website. The phone that I was trying to activate was not there.
    I cannot seem to get this right - please let me know - if you know the solution.

    I guess that the only problem is, that the iphone is already connected / related (or whatever... I´m german) to an apple ID. and if he could go in the ITUNES account, he/they could get rid of that by DISCONNECTING
    please try
    okay... its in itunes to com to the point to disconnect the device from the cloud.
    I thought they still could hat any auto login on the mac ?!
    sorry if I was wrong

  • Backup Photo from iCloud

    Hi!
    I have a trouble. I made a restore on my iphone 4 and after that i sing in to my iCloud account. I download all my stuff from iCloud (like contact, notes, calendar) except my Photos. I see that on my iCloud are 3,9 Gb Photos but i can not download it in anywhere. The Galery is empty. What can I do ?

    Many users have performed icloud restores and found all their photos gone.  You seem to have suffered the same outcome.  It's always advised that you sync photos to a computer for storage, as you do photos on a digital camera.  If you have been doing this, then you can sync photos from the computer back to the device.  If not, it looks like you have lost your photos.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "Galery" - icloud does not have a gallery feature like MobileMe used to.

  • Restored phone from iCloud, phone is completely messed up.

    Help! I restored my 4s from an iCloud backup from the day before, all settings and everything are exactly how they always have been for the last 2 months. Yet something is now terribly wrong with my battery life. Something appears to be constantly running in the background and it is absolutely DESTROYING my battery life. Please reference the picture below, I can't even get through 4 hours before my phone dies, this is very bad.
    Check out the usage and standby, apparently something is constantly running and I can't figure out what it is. The phone is also warm all the time which is a pretty good indicator that something is just chewing up my battery even though I don't have any apps running in the background (ie: on the bottom bar that you can force close).

    I gave that a shot last night, probably after 7 hours or so of the same thing happening after I tried to set it up in the store. I thought that maybe because I left the apple store and lost wifi it was interrupted, but given that i work from home and have been on the same network since 10/11 last night i dought that is it. i just tried syncing it through my comp, but its been doing that now for about an hour. i have a hunch i am just going to have to delete all of my apps and manually put them back on. thanks icloud!
