Can you restore a partial iCloud back up with out overwritting everything?

Long story here are the cliff notes... use iPhone 4 to take photos for work. out saturday, took a bunch of photos and iPhone starts locking up. happened to be by local apple store, stopped by, they ran a ck and decided to replace the phone. of course i backup to iTunes not iCloud so the photos i just took where not backed-up.
Tech switched-on iCloud back up, proceeded to do his "thing" but iCould only got a partial back-up done before. any way to find out if the partial backup includes the pictures from saturday?
Thanks Bill

I was not aware that such a limitation existed. Try this: (disable Time machine temporarily
Click on the Time Macine HDD, and open ''Backups. backupdb' folder. You then might see another folder with you name on it. Open that folder which should show you a series of folders with a series of dates. See EX.
Select the folder with the date where the data that you want to retrieve resides. Open that folder and keep opening folders until you get to the item you wish to restore. Drag the item to your desk top.
Ciao.

How can you restore ALL your photos back into your iphone after changing your icloud plan to 20GB?!? It ruined my photos and videos, and I don't even know if I have them anymore!!!

Okay. I recently changed my icloud storage plan to 20GB, for $0.99 a month, to have more room in my phone. After that, I realized a lot of my videos were acting up and wouldn't play. I honestly don't know what I did, nor that I can remember, but I tried to play around a little with my phone to see if anything would work again. Then I ended up storing more than HALF of my photos and videos in my icloud storage, and now I can't seem to get them back into my regular iphone stream! I can't see ANY of the pictures/videos stored in icloud, but it tells me that I have 377 photos and 16 videos stored in icloud, and 2.2GB are used, and I could only see 33 photos, and 8 videos in my phone! I want to know how I could UNDO all this, and put EVERYTHING back in my iphone storage, and OFF of icloud! icloud confuses me a lot. I'll just stick with 5GB. HELPP PLEASE!!!
And also, I want to know WHYYYYY I have to keep downloading my videos before playing them!

That's fine.
It takes forever to shut down and to star up (compared to when it was new with snow leopard) .. Some programs are now running slow (iMovie, Photoshop) and very often it just doesn’t respond so i have to turn it off the hard way loosing what I was working on.
Have you tested in a fresh user account, or in Safe Mode ?
A clean install is rarely necessary, and may not even solve the problem. If you plan to do a clean install and migrate, you defeat the purpose of a clean install.
If you do a clean install you'll also need to replace your iLife apps from the disks that shipped with your Mac, they're on Disk 2.

How can you restore photo stream photos back to Apple TV after accidentally deleting from your iPad

After accidentally deleting photo stream photos on my iPad, this deleted photo stream photos on my Apple TV. How can I restore these photos back to my Apple TV and also to my iPad? Suggestions welcomed

If you have a backup of your iPad prior to the date of deleting your photos, you can find them. Otherwise, you might be able to find them.
If you do have this backup, then you'll have to restore your iPad to that point.
If you had a Mac with iPhoto, then when you connected your iPad, iPhoto would store the photos separately from Photostream.
I despise Photostream. It's turned off everywhere on my system. It is one of the most useless pieces of junk that Apple has foisted on my Mac and iOS. But hey, that's just my opinion.

Can I delete my icloud back ups with out loosing my current data on my iphone 5

Hey guys. I was wondering if I can delete my iCloud backup with out loosing my current data on my iphone 5? I can not up date my phone because it says I do not have enough storage available. Yes, I have purchased more storage space on iCloud.
Thank you!

Yes you could delete backups without loosing anything on your device, but iCloud storage has nothing to do with your local device capacity. I guess that your device is just full and that you have to delete something like apps, movies etc to free up some space for other content.
iCloud uses its storage only for
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
purchases of apps, music, videos do not count against your iCloud storage capacity ( but please see also iCloud backup and restore overview http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859).

Can you restore a time machine back-up more than once?

Hi,
About a week ago I tried restoring an old time machine backup to check that it worked - and it did. I now want to restore that same backup again. It's still there on the external drive that it was backed up onto, but no longer has a time stamp associated with it, and it no longer allows me o restore it. Any help would be appreciate d.

Hello there khraye,
This message appears when the phone is locked to a specific carrier. You will need to contact the carrier the phone is locked to:
How to unlock your iPhone for use with another carrier
Unlock your iPhone
First, your carrier will need to process your unlock request. Then you'll back up, erase, and restore your iPhone to unlock it.
Start the process:
See if your carrier offers unlocking. Only your carrier can unlock your iPhone.
Contact your carrier and request an unlock. You might need to meet requirements to qualify for unlocking. After you submit the request to your carrier, it might take a few days to complete. Contact your carrier for the status of your unlock request.
After your carrier confirms that your iPhone unlock has been processed, go to the next section.
If you have a SIM card from a carrier other than your current carrier, follow these steps:
Remove your SIM card and insert the new SIM card.
Complete the setup process.
If you don't have another SIM card you can use, follow these steps to complete the process:
Back up your iPhone.
When you have a backup, erase your iPhone.
Restore your iPhone from the backup you just made.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Can you restore an old backup and a recent backup?

I am wanting to restore an old backup plus a current one. Can you do that from icloud?

Most stores will offer buy backs in either cash or gift cards toward later purchases. I recently did that for my 3rd gen 32gb to buy a new 64gb 4gen. I also got 80 bucks for mine from Best buy in giftcards. What specs are yours?

How can i restore my old icloud adress?

how can i restore my old icloud adress?

Can you explain in more detail what the issue is? If you have an @icloud.com address you can't cancel it or lose it unless it's an alias - if it's the main address it's permanently associated with the account. Can you sign into the account? If so and you sign in at http://icloud.com can you access your mail there? Is it a question of setting up Mail? And it might help to know your operating system. (Please don't feel tempted to post the actual address.)

Can you restore from a backup that was made on a previous version of iOS?

Hello.
I had an iPhone 3GS unning whatever the latest proper version of iOS currently is at the time of writing (4.3.5, is it?) but on Saturday I was on a rather drunken night out and I lost my phone.
Silly me.
But I was out of contract and the new iPhone (4S or 5 or whatever) is going to be announced on Tuesday next week (just been confirmed by Apple today) so I'm just going to make do with an old, spare Nokia until the new iPhone is available in the UK.
Once the new iPhone launches I will buy it, plug it into iTunes and just restore from backup and I'm back in business.
Except for one thing... The new iPhone will have iOS 5 installed and my last backup before I lost my 3GS was done on iOS 4.3.5.
Is this going to be a problem or can you restore from a backup made with an older version of the OS?
I've never done it before so I don't know.
J

You "should" have no problem doing that. I say should, because you can't restore a backup made with a higher iOS on a device running a lower iOS, I.E. - you can't restore a backup made from a device running, let's say iOS 4.3.5 on a device running iOS 4.2.10. However, iOS 5.0 will present many new features and since it has not been released, I have no way of stating with certainty that doing as you plan will not present any problems. Past history indicates it won't, but we'll have to wait & see.

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

Can I restore my desktop calendar and how do I keep everything but my phone locator and mail off? I do not want to sync my desktop with icloud except for mail.

This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.
