Can you have your backup in iCloud restored to earlier session

I download the mountain lion to my sons Mac and mistakenly added his computer to the icloud, which promply deleted all my contacts, mails and addresses on all my devices using icloud. Is there a way to restore the backup in the  icloud?

I have solved this issue, there is no way to backup the backup in the iclould, except to restore your computer throught the time machine.   But you have to be careful as once you connected to the internet and your  icloud data has been already replaced ....n 3 seconds all your contacts etc will be gone ....  So make sure you are not on line, and Wifi switched off.  After you restore, copy you contacts on you computer somewhere. 
How to replace the icloud please check my replies to the community.

  • TS3999 Can you sync your iCal to iCloud?

    I've been trying to sync my iCal to my iCloud and it's not letting me do that. It keeps telling me that my iDisk isn't available and when I go sign in to it, it keeps telling me that my username and password are wrong. Help please!

    You cannot sync iCal to iCloud with anything earlier than 10.7.2. If you have Snow Leopard you may be able to do it by means of this unsupported hack (no guarantees) but you will not be able to do it with any earlier system. You will not be able to sync Contacts (though again there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book - and as not working by others: I've not tried it). iCloud's other facilities will not work.
    Also, your email will stop working at some point: you need to set Mail up manually following the instructions in the one of these links which is applicable to your system:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

  • Contacts & iCloud: can you have more than one iCloud account syncing with Contacts on the Mac?

    I want to set up a shared iCloud account for multiple users in a (very) small office environment, where several new iOS devices and, for the moment, two Macs (2012 13" MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Mini) will be able to read/write to a shared Contacts account – and at the same time maintain a second, personal iCloud account linked to the same Contacts app on one machine, which account's contacts data will remain private and inaccessible to the other Macs/devices which are likewise using the shared account.
    Can this be done? (I.e., can Contacts app on a Mac include separate iCloud accounts?)
    If so, how to set it up?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your answer. There's no problem with others accessing that Mac – it's used by one person only – my question is can you add a second iCloud account to Contacts. Over the past two days I had tried to add the shared iCloud account to Contacts and kept getting failures. But maybe the server was down or the ISP was weird: your response assumes it can be done and so, to my embarrassment, I tried again just now and violá, it's done. Thanks again.
    P.S. Finding a simple presentation that makes clear you can have more than one iCloud accounts syncing to Contacts at the same time was very hard to find, either from Apple or others on the web. Maybe I don't know how to search, but they could do with a clear explanation of this for the uninitiated.

  • It looks like the way forward is to delete any apps you are having problems with and reinstall hopefully you have your data on iCloud this seems to work

    Looks like deleting and reinstalling the apps your having the problems with works in some cases

    Hi Flash, Just some info to correct yours. First, not everyone is having a problem with FP 10.1 and there are solutions and reverting to FP 10.0 would not be the first choice. If that was for you, that's fine. If you would read the many many threads here, you would find correct information for users that want to revert back to FP10.
    Also may I suggest you read up on Firefox version 3.6.6 as this is involved sometimes with FP 10.1.
    Lastly, I think it is always better to find out what a user's issues are before offering a solution. Reverting back to FP 10.0 is not for everyone that is having a problem nor should it be.
    If your instructions solved whatever problem you were having, that's great. However, to recommend this to other users that come here for help without knowing what their problems are may not be the best advice, in my opinion.
    There are many other details in the Uninstall Instructions and also the Install Instructions that need to be followed.
    That is why it is better for each user to have their own thread and receive help for their individual issues. This is also based on their computer system configuration.
    Believe me, if there was one fix for all FP 10.1 or any other version issues, it would be posted
    Thanks,
    eidnolb

  • If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos?  This was before icloud was available, can you reset your password?

    If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos off of it?  This was before Icloud was available.  Can you reset your itunes password somehow?

    iTunes and the iTunes Store won't have anything to do with your photos. Those would be stored only on your laptop unless you made a backup of some sort. If you didn't, and the hard drive in your laptop has failed, then your photos are gone unless you wish to pay a disk recovery service a lot of money to try and get them back.
    As to your music, if you purchased it from the iTunes Store you can probably re-download it. Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time. You can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.

  • TS4036 My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, update first, Settings > General > Software Update.
    Then 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.

  • Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore

    Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore?

    Actually, wrong.
    The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
    Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
    And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
    Good luck.

  • Can you have 2 icloud apps on 1 phone, 1 for work and 1 for home?

    Can you have 2 icloud apps on one phone, 1 for work related stuff and 1 for family stuff (calendars, email, etc.)?

    You can set up a second iCloud account on your device by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account, and choosing iCloud.  Secondary accounts like this sync Mail (fetch, not push), Notes, Contacts, Calendars and Reminders.  Only your primary account (in Settings>iCloud) can sync Bookmarks and Documents, as well as photo stream, push email, iCloud backup and Find My iPhone.

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

  • Can you save your itunes and songs onto an external hard drive so that incase your computer crashes you will still have all your music?

    Can you save your itunes and songs onto an external hard drive so that incase your computer crashes you will still have all your music?

    The procedures below are for "moving" your library but as long as you don't delete it from your internal drive you are basically backing up.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Simple answer:  Copy your whole iTunes folder to the external drive.  For subsequent backups you might want to learn about cloning and using a tool that only does incremental backups of recently changed items rather than copying all your files each time.

    The first 5G is FREE. After you use all of that, you can buy more in setting and then iCloud. Hope this helps.

  • HT204053 can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

    can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

    You can have only one iCloud "user configuration" per local user on the Mac. Who the local user belongs to doesn't mind. Since it's a local user it's not related with who actually uses it. So let's say you want to set up Photo streaming using your iCloud user, just configure iCloud (under System Preferences) the same way you did on your phone and you're done.
    But, beware: if you're only interested in synching photos, uncheck everything else when configuring iCloud on the Mac, otherwise you will merge, for example, your husband contacts, calendar and mail with those on your phone.
    If you want to avoid any problems you can easily create another local user on the Mac with your name, under System Preferences, System, Users & Groups. After you create the user, logoff. The Mac will ask if you want to disable autologin (since there's more than one user that can log in now), answer yes and you will be presented with a logon screen. Click on your account name, insert the password and configure iCloud to sync with your phone.

    If you registered it to your account then it should be on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    Or if you have a backup of it on your computer's iTunes then go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac), and on the Devices tab hover your mouse pointer over the iPad's backup :
