Camera Roll not restoring from iCloud back-up
Due to an extremely large amount of "other" on my iPhone 5 I decided to reset / delete and restore from iCloud. Camera roll IS turned on in my cloud back-up, and I backed it up just before reset / delete phone.
When I restore from iCloud back-up everything works perfectly except my camera roll reloading. It just continues to say 'Downloading" (with the little circle thing going round & round) with no change or progress. It never says "downloadng xx of xxx" or anything like that. The photo stream has restored with no problem.
I hope I can restore the camera roll because it has videos that aren't saved anywhere else, but if not how the heck do I stop the "downloading..." at the bottom of the camera roll folder and get on with my life? Any help will be much appreciated.
Actually I posted here only after trying ezjules suggestions No luck. Even stranger is that even after I "stopped restoring" my camera roll is acting the same,; still says Downloading at the bottom. Strange.. Here is a screen shot after I have stopped the restore in settings.

My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.
A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
Hope this helps. -
I restored my iPhone 5 to IOS 7.1 on computer and tried to restore from icloud back up. It says "restore completed" but Apple logo keeps popping up every 5 seconds. It restored only contacts and sms. I can access the phone but have to stop if logo pops
Hello khanhlinh98,
I would recommend performing the following steps in order to stabilize your iPhone.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

I got a new iphone 6. When I restore my phone from my icloud backup my most recent photos and messages not restored from icloud backup. How do I get the most recent backup onto my new phone?
Hello, Anita.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup. This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6. Try going through the steps in the article below.
iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes

I upgraded to ios6.1.3 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved. Can I some how restore the apps to avoid having to pay for them again and having to recreate settings?
As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

I just got a new iPad it had 6.0 iOS and it would not let me restore from the cloud . I had to set up as new to update to 6.1 iOS now I can't find my backups in the cloud help please..
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from. -
After connecting my new iphone 5 to iTunes, I did not choose restore from iCloud Backup or iTunes Back up. I just clicked on New iPhone, because I was installing a new iphone 5 with a different carrier and sim etc. Now I don't have the option to go back. I have backed up my old phone to iCloud, so should I click on - Restore iPhone to get all the saved data from iTunes?
I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

Why so long to restore from iCloud back-up? (new iPhone 6)
I am setting up my new iPhone 6 and the 'Restoring from iCloud backup' stage has continued for at last 6 hours. From all appearances, the iPhone is successfully set up. It's slowing down the device significantly, especially for anything that needs to access the Internet. Should I be concerned?
How much data did you have in the cloud? What is your internet connection speed? If lots of photos and movies and such then it could take a while if you have a slow connection, Though 6 hours is ridiculous. I'd unplug and start over.

Phone does not restore from icloud (invalid device while updating mme delegate account)
Hi
When restoring an iphone4 I get to the part that says restore from icloud, then enter the user details (if you get them wrong it tells you) then it moves onto the Terms and Conditions page which you then click agree. At this point I either get "there was a problem connecting to the server" or "invalid device while updating mme delegate account".
Help ....
Any ideas pleaseSorted it by clicking the home button and choosing start again, the phone then erased its self and the next time it started the restore process worked fine

Photo in camera roll not synced to iCloud
I was out in London the other day and used my phone to take some photos, at one point my phone went below 20% battery therefore any photos taken would not have synced to "my photo stream" until phone is placed on charge again then these would re-sync. However I've just noticed that I have one photo less in "my photo stream" and this is a photo taken when iPhone was below 20% battery.
Why has this photo not synced to iCloud? This should have synced once phone was on charge? Why can't I add it manually to "my photo stream".
P.s. I don't want to add it to a "shared photo stream" and I don't want to edit it the photo and save as a new copy and then the new copy is synced to "my photo stream" the photo was taken on a date and it should have synced.
Can someone please shed some light why this disruption has occurred...?
iCloud isn't perfect but it is great for automated syncing, Apple can definately improve on, I think the 1000 photos v 30 day limitation should be increased.
This sync issue has happened to me before but I need to know why this is happening and if it can be fixed. I don't understand why I can't just add it manually to "my photo stream" and it automatically uploads to the correct place so my camera roll is exactly the same "my photo stream" except videos of course until iOS7, thumbs up Apple improve upon this.That hasn't answered why this problem has occurred and if you read my original question I said I don't want to edit the photo and create a NEW COPY! Yes of course that work but why didn't it upload in the first place!
PLEASE READ THE QUESTION BEFORE LEAVING A COMMENT! -

Brand new 5s - set up as new but will not restore from icloud backup
Hi, all. I received a new 5s today as a present. It was set up at the Sprint store by the staff. I asked what I would need to do to get all of my.apps, photos, etc. and they told me to do an cloud restore when I got home. So I got home and tried to figure out how to do this. I made sure to back up the 4s last night but my new phone says it has never been backed up which I suppose makes sense... so I have several questions:
1) Why would an old apple ID show up all of a sudden?
When I couldn't figure out restore, I erased all settings and tried to set up again from an cloud back up. But it showed me my original apple is from 2005 when email addresses weren't required (my ID then was edavies988) and I only had an iPod. It kept telling me I had an incorrect ID or password when I tried to set up as cloud backup restore. And I checked to make sure my apple ID is my current email address not my old ID. It is the email address. So any idea why this would have happened?
And since that didn't work, I went back and set it up as a new phone again. So....
2) Is there any way to access the cloud back up and restore it without having to reset the phone? I have pictures and apps, etc. that I would like to have on the new phone....I have no idea how to fix this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!!No, photos and apps aren't on my computer. Only in the cloud. I back up to the cloud only. I have a very old computer.
And no, I don't have anything loaded on the new phone. I apologize if I wasn't clear. I am unable to reset the phone and do a restore on the new phone because of the apple ID problem I mentioned. (Old, no longer used ID is what pops up when I try to restore. And since it isn't the current apple ID it doesn't accept my password. And it will not let me update to the current apple ID during set up. And, yes. I checked online. The current ID is all that shows online.)
What I clumsily was trying to ask was is there a way to do a restore on a new phone without resetting so that I can get the stuff from the old phone to the new phone? (Again, the reset didn't work when trying to reset/restore. So I had to set the phone up as a new phone.)
Does that make sense? Or is it clear as mud?
