Can a previous icloud backup be retrieved?

Ios7. Was downloaded, iPad disabled due to pass code not entered correctly, when the iPad was restored, only the back up of the ios7  (1  day) was retrieved. Anyway to get older information?

Icloud actually stores up to three last backups here is from Apple article
"You can choose from up to three of the most recent backups associated with your iCloud account. Each backup shows the date and time the backup was created, as well as the name of the device that created the backup. Unless you want to restore an older backup, choose the most recent backup of the device you want to restore."
here is the link to that article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
Here is what they say if you do not see more then one backup.
f the list of iCloud backups is empty or dimmed, consider these possibilities:
Your device may never have completed a successful backup to iCloud. Incomplete backups do not show a size or date and cannot be used to restore your device. Make sure that you have correctly followed theinstructions for backing up your iOS device to iCloud.
Your device may be using an earlier version of iOS than was used to create the backup. Update to the latest version of iOS, if necessary, then try restoring your device from iCloud again.
Your backup may have been created with a different iCloud account. When restoring your device from iCloud, the Setup Assistant allows you to tap Back to return to the iCloud sign-in step. If you have several iCloud accounts, sign in with each account until you find the account that can use your backup.
If you haven't backed up your iOS device to iCloud for 180 days or longer, Apple reserves the right to delete the backups associated with that device. Review the iCloud Terms and Conditions for more information.

  • HT4859 how do i restore to a previous icloud backup

    Restore your phone using the settings > general > reset options.   You will be given the opportunity to restore from a previous iCloud backup.

  • HT4859 My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues.  What I would suggest you do is the following:
    If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
    Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on.  This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
    Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.

  • I can't turn icloud backup on.  The off/on is grayed out.

    How can I turn iCloud backup on my ipad?  The off/on is grayeed out.

    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings  (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

  • Why can't see previous iCloud backups

    I have an iPhone 4 and an Ipad 2, both use the same iCloud acount but the iphone doesn't have the iCloud Backup option activated, the iPad it does. On my iPhone I see that on the iCloud I have an iPad backup from the day before yesterday with the size of 2.3 GB, but when I try to restore it from the iPad it says there are not any iCloud Backup, the options are: config as a new iPad or restore from iTunes(where I don't have a recent backup).
    How Can I restore my iPad from that iCloud backup?

    I'm sorry, and it might just be me, but I am finding your post a little bit confusing. The phone doesn't have iCloud activated but there is an iPhone backup in iCloud? Am I missing something?
    Since your devices are running two different versions of the iOS, I will assume that if you are trying to restore the newer version backup onto the device running the older iOS, that will not work. You can only restore backups to a device running the same or newer iOS than the backup was running.

  • Is it possible to restore to a previous iCloud backup?

  • How do i restore contacts from a previous icloud backup?

    Somehow - half of my contacts have disappeared.
    I turned icoloud backup off , but the most recent backup is missing those contacts as well.
    i am pretty sure that the previous backup have the full contacts that i want to restore.
    Don't want to restore the entire phone.
    how can this be done ? will icloud drive help ?

    If you turned iCloud backup off and deleted the backup, you won't have an earlier iCloud backup to restore from.  Your most recent backup, if you didn't delete it, may have your contacts if it was made before the contacts were lost.  However, you have to follow this process to restore contacts from an iCloud backup: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.  Otherwise the recovered contacts will be deleted as soon as your device reconnects to iCloud (making you think that they weren't included in the backup).
