If lost Ipad is wiped, can new Ipad recover data from iCloud

I lost my Ipad while traveling a couple of days ago. I have it password protected and have 'find my lost ipad' active on it but it hasn't shown up yet.
I reported it but probably don't have any chance of recovering it. If I select 'Erase Ipad' in find my lost ipad to protect my personal information, when I buy a new Ipad will I still be able to recover my exising data from iCloud ?
Thanks for the help.

You should. Erasing the wayward iPad will not delete the back up you have in iCloud, not should it delete iCloud synched items like your contacts and iwork documents.

I was stolen my iphone Can I erase my data from the phone?

Can I erase all my data from the phone from the cloud?
- contact
- notes
passwords....?

If you activated Find My iPhone (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it. Using a computer, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page. On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.
If it is offline, then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

How can I restore my data from iCloud to my iPad?

Hi - I have noticed that all my calendar entries from January 2012 to the end of June have disappeared - I was advised by Apple to restore my data from the iCloud, where it is backed up - but this doesn't seem to have resolved the problem - please can anyone help?

When you restore from an iCloud backup, you have to erase the device first, then set up the iPad again using the iCloud backup. If you tried this and the entries did not download to the iPad - they are gone. They should be in the backup - but if they were not restored, then they apparently are gone.
If you still have access to a computer go to your icloud.com account using a web browser and look in the calendar to see if the entries are in there.

My hard drive crashed with no backup. How can I get the data from iCloud onto my Mac?

My hard drive went bad and needed to be replaced and I've lost everything that was on it (no backup - I know, I know...). Fortunately much of my data was backed up either on icloud or my ipad but I haven't been able to find any information about restoring it FROM icloud or ipad TO my Mac, only about how to restore to an ios device. I am running Lion. Thank you!

I guess what I meant to say was that I can log on to icloud to see my contacts, calendars, etc but is there a way to get that data onto my computer? In other words, how do I associate my new hard drive with my icloud account? I am probably not phrasing this properly - sorry. Three days ago (pre-crash) my desktop was configured to reflect my icloud info but I don't know how to make it do so again...does this make sense

How can I restore deleted data from ICloud?

Hi,
I just lost my IPhone 4S 32GB. Using find my IPhone app in iCloud, realised that, because of being shut down immediately after loosing, there will be no chance to get it back. So I choosed to remote delete all data from that device.
Although one day later I still had all my data in iCloud, after another two days everything was lost! After another day, I was able to see only one contact in my contact list, as well as calender activities up to one month before loosing the phone.
As sync was activated also with my outlook, I have there an empty database as well.
Mails are also missing, from all the servers (even if for one of them IMAP was the setting), also for the last month.
Please HELP me get all the info back. Thanks.

An iCloud account doesn't store multiple copies of a single note,
This can appear to happen if you are saving them to multiple locations
Notes can be saved to
       Email accounts
       iCloud
       iPhone or device
You most likely lost access to one of the sources of Notes.
Make sure that each of the accounts that can use notes has them turned on.
Best of Luck

Got new ipad 4 now can't erase all data from old ipad2

Want to erase all data on old ipad2 because I bought a new ipad4 but it asks for Apple ID password and won't let me use password.

If "it won't let you use" your password, try resetting the password.

HT1430 How can I erase all data from my iPod touch

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.How can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information.

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.I have a password on the phone but i'm not sure if I turned on the option where the phone resets if you incorrectly put the password more than ten time. I immediately called my phone company (Verizon) and reported the phone stolen.So I know whoever took the phone cannot place calls or use the phone. But can they still access my data on the phone if they manage to unlock the phone? If so how can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information? is there any other way other than Find my IPhone to wipe off the data on the phone? I really don't want my personal information such as pictures, text messages, notes and social networks profile available to a stranger!!? Help please!!!

Hello thewrongway,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone! I understand the need for an active device. You are able to activate an old device and process an insurance claim for your iPhone 4s within 60days from the incident date. Keep in mind if the old phone is not a smartphone and you currently have unlimited data that feature will fall off. If you have a tier data plan no changes will be made. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

How can I restore data from iCloud

My iPad locked up last night and I had to restore to factory settings to make it operable. During the process it asked me if I wanted to restore my data and it told me that the latest and only backup was from a few minutes before that time which was AFTER all my stuff got wiped out. I was able to resync some apps and all my music from iTunes, but I lost a ton of pictures and other files that I thought were SUPPOSED to be safe on iCloud.
So I start reading about restoring data from iCloud and apparently Apple only does this on a NEW device. What a load of crap!
Does anyone have any idea how I can get my data from the stupid iCloud to my stupid iPad?

The "Apple data" such as contacts, calendars, notes, etc. are not backed up to an iCloud backup, since they reside in the special databases on iCloud. If you delete some data from a device (e.g. one contact), it is deleted from that device, from iCloud's database and thus from all other devices connected to that iCloud account.
Hence performing a restore from an iCloud backup will not help.
However, if that data was ever on a computer (assuming the computer also synced data from iCloud) and if you consistently perform backups using something like Time Machine on a mac or any number of backup programs on Windows, then you should be able to restore the data from that backup. For example, on a mac, invoke the contacts app then choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine icon on the main toolbar. That will allow you to go back in time and choose an older backup to restore.
If you have an iTunes backup on the computer, I'm not really sure that also includes the Apple data stored on iCloud. It should have the local data. For example, Contacts can be under "iCloud" or "On My Mac" (or whatever computer you use). An iTunes restore should restore the data on your computer.
The whole idea regarding an iCloud backup is that if your device ever fails and must be replaced or reset, the backup will restore all the data as it was at the time of the last backup. The restore will return all the device's settings such as iCloud login, on/off states of data to connect to (like contacts). Once that's done, the device will connect to iCloud and download the current data.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex
