Can't restore my stuff on iPhone via iCloud backup

My iPhone was stolen a few weeks ago - and of course I immediatly locked it via Find my iPhone on icloud.com. Now I have a new device, but my iCloud backups are not displayed in the setup process (only pretty old ones from my 3GS). Is this because the old phone is locked?

Fixed it. I figured out that the "new" phone I bought from a friend was still running iOS5.x and therefore couldn't display iCloud-Backups made with iOS6. I think that's a bug Apple should fix - they should at least display the latest backups when trying to restore and then give the advice to update the OS... But now I'm back on track and happy to have all my data back :-)

  • Iphone 4s trying to restore contacts from old iphone via itunes backup

    I recently upgraded my old iphone 3gs to a 4s. I know way behind the times. I backed up the 3gs to both the icloud and to my mac via itunes before I went to the store. Next day all my contacts are gone, try to sync to the icloud only to find out the they must of overwrote my icloud contacts via a backup from the 4s some how. Again think no problem I will just restore via itunes, when I restore though it starts up like it is brand new asking how I would like to set it up. I choose via itunes and it asks me to connect to itunes. I am already connected and the screen doesn't change on the 4s no matter how long I wait. I desperately need these contacts and am looking for some help either using itunes are getting more creative by manually pulling them out of the backup some how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    One thing to try, is to create a new login account on you computer.
    Log into that account and open address book.
    Create one contact in address book.
    Now open itunes.
    Once through the initial setup, connect the iphone.
    Now go to the info tab and check to sync contacts.
    You should get the option to merge data.
    If this works, there is still something corrupt in your address book.
    Try exporting all you contacts then delete all out of address book.
    Quit address book and reopen.
    Create a new test contact, then try syncing with iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I sync my iPad and iPhone via iCloud

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but I searched and could not find a solution.
    I, obviously, did not set up iOS5 correctly because I now have two sets of Contacts on my iPhone.  One is called Contacts from my Mac and the other is called from iCloud.  I guess I was confused by being able to sync over Wi-Fi and also being able to sync with iCloud (maybe).  Below is what I'd like to be able to do.  Can I?  If so, how?
    My Mac runs Snow Leopard. ( I rely on too many Apps that run Rosetta to upgrade now.)  My iPhone and iPad have iOS5.  Can I sync my iPhone to my Mac using Wi-Fi?  It seems the answer is yes as long as the iPhone is plugged into a power source and both devices are on the same network.  Does the sync'ing occur in the background or do progress bars show up on the Mac and the iPhone?  Can I use a PowerMat as the power source or must it be receiving power through the doc connector?
    It appears that while I can sync the iPhone to my Mac, I can still back up the iPhone to iCloud.  Is that correct?
    If I do not plan to enter new data on my iPad, can the iPad be set up to receive contact and calendar updates from iCloud. i.e. iPad either pulls updates from iCloud or sync's with the iPhone data that's backed up in iCloud.
    I think what I'm trying to do is have all 3 devices current without installing Lion in my Mac. I recognize that new data on the iPad will not sync to my iPhone, but that's OK.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

    Are iPhone and iPad both use the same Apple ID for iCloud?
    Are they both on Wi-Fi?

  • How can I restore my iPod to an older iCloud backup that's before the three most recent?

    I need it because my iPod completely crashed and restarted itself. DX I had forgotten about the iCloud backup thing *facepalm* -.-' and yeah, I need to restore an older backup of my iPod because I had some really important things on it and the only recent ones are of the days after the crash that happened on my iPod. Please help me! TT^TT

    If the backup is not listed is Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage then no other backups exist.

  • When I backup from my iPhone via iCloud backup and for some reason it only completes half, then will it save the half completed backup

    My iCloud backup only completes upto half steps(sometimes) so will it save the half completed backup in iCloud

    This needs to be addressed because you will not be able to use an incomplete backup.  Not being able to back up to iCloud can be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.  Then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
    If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

  • Can I erase photos from my iPhone via iCloud and have them erased on all my connected devices?

    I took photos at work, completely forgetting about my iCloud setting, I erased them off of my phone/iCloud  this morning. But they may have uploaded to iCloud last night. These are not photos my children need to see

    Once they are deleted from iCloud they will be deleted from all devices accessing the photos from iCloud. The exceptions here are a computer (you will need to delete it manually) and the device that took the photo, I am assuming your iPhone 5. There you will need to delete it from your camera roll too.

  • HT1688 I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active.

    I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active. What is that mean?

    Razmee,
    Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
    When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
    So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
    Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
    I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone.

  • How can i restore deleted messages from iphone?

    how can i restore deleted messages from iphone?

    If they were backed up, you can restore your phone from that previous backup.  If they weren't backed up, you cannot restore them.

  • HT1212 Iphone is locked but I can't restore because "find my iphone" is on.  I'm prompted to turn it off in settings but, obviously, I can't because I'm locked out due to too many incorrect passcode attempts.  What should I do?  PS: I downloaded IOS7 toda

    Iphone is locked but I can't restore because "find my iphone" is on. I'm prompted to turn it off in settings but, obviously, I can't because I'm locked out due to too many incorrect passcode attempts.  What should I do?  PS: I downloaded IOS7 today.  My passcode was never enabled!  But after I installed the new software it automatically turned it on.  I hadn't used it in so long, I couldn't remember my last passcode, hence the lockout. 

    Hello 199Seth
    Reset the password and that will take care of activating your iPhone.

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.
