Can´t find my icloud backup

Hi,
I have one question. Im trying to find some pictures from a family birthday two years ago. iCloud has been activated for a long time and I remember randomly finding my lost pictures from my iPhone 5, that got stolen a year back, in iPhoto. Back then I had a Macbook Air, but that one is sold and I bought a 15" MB Pro.
Question is: When I look trough my iCloud backup in iPhoto I only found around 200 pictures. When I go to Settings -> iCloud on my iPhone it says Camera Roll is about 4.5 GB. Why can´t I accsess this 4.5 GB of pictures on my Mac? It just shows me the newest pictures from my iPhone 5S, not from my camera, old iPhone etc. that I found on my Macbook Air... Hard to explain and my english is pretty bad.

This may be because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  If there were photos in the camera roll on your phone that were older than 30 days when you first enabled photo stream on your MacBook Pro, they would not have still been in iCloud for your Mac to receive them. 
If these older photos are still in the camera roll on your phone, you can import them to iPhoto using your usb cable as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

    I swapped my daughter's ipod. This morning I made sure that the icloud backup was done. It did show last saved at 6:45 am.
    Now I am trying to start the ipod with icloud but it says no icloud  backup saved!
    Weird, I really saw it this morning. When I go to the icloud web site and she logs in all her contact are there?
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks for your precious help.

    Seeing her contacts on icloud.com doesn't mean she has an iCloud backup.  (You don't see backups on icloud.com.)
    If the new iPod running the same or higher version of iOS as the one that the backup was made from?  You can check the iOS version in Settings>General>About...it's the number next to Version.

    where can i find my data/backup file on my account? thanks

    The restore from backup process is all or nothing, & if you've been told NOT to restore from backup, there is no supported way to "selectively" restore an iPhone backup. You can use third-party software to "extract" data from your backup:

  • Where can i find my iphone backup password?

    where can i find my iphone backup password?

    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

    where can I find my iCloud photostream online?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

    where can I find the Iphone backup files?

    The following claims the ability to extract Notes from a backup made using iTunes. I haven't used it so can't comment on how well it works. Once extracted the Notes would be readable on your computer but you would still need to get them back to the new phone. http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

  • HT4859 How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

    How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • TS4036 Can you change the iCloud backup date to a previous backup date?

    Can you change the iCloud backup date? My iPhones processor went out and erased all of my information and saved that as my last iCloud backup, is there a way to restore my phone for the day before this happened to get all of my information back?

    Long story short, I had to make a clean install of OS X (mountain lion) when I was outside my country, and if I can't show the guy at the customs back home that I purchased the macpro before making the trip, I'll have to pay taxes for it.
    I could have filled the papers for that but I almost miss the plane and there was a long queue.

  • I can't find my iPhone backup in Mac OS X Lion.

    After upgraded to Lion, I can't find my iPhone backups any more at  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup, but they still show up in iTunes though. Does anyone know where the new location is? Or it's now hidden?
    Thanks!

    from my understanding "other" are files/data that are not recognized by your Mac. Same with our iOS devices
    Here's an example, Im a big anime fan so I have a folder with tons of animes having a format of .mkv
    my mac does not recognize this that's why it falls under "others". Any file format that's not supported by your native Mac applications are considered others
    If you want to know where these files are located, use "omnidisk sweeper"

    my mac os is 10.6.8 and when I try to upgrade, says I have most up to date software.
    You do. 10.6.8 is the latest update to 10.6.
    10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion are paid upgrades. Buy 10.8 in the Mac App Store if your Mac is compatible by searching for "Mountain Lion." If not, call Apple to order 10.7 Lion after making sure your Mac meets the requirements.
