Deleted icloud backup and need it back
Today I had to get my software reset or restored by Apple because it was telling me my battery was much lower than it actually was. I was in a rush and could restore my previous backup (from a week ago) in the store and decided to do it at my hotel later. Long story short, I accidentally backed up my phone with nothing on it, trying to undo this i erased the phone. Then when going to set up the phone again looked to see NO BACKUPS even though i am 100% positive I had one from a week ago because the man who helped me in the Apple store told me and I checked. Please help me find this backup! The other option would be to back up my phone from 2013 which is not helpful at all. Thanks.
If you really accidentally deleted good backup, try not to do that anymore. There is no way to help you, sorry. You should be able to see all your backups to icloud when you go to settings, icloud, storage and manage storage.

I have the iCloud storage and use it, and pay the 20$ a year for it but I can't figure out how to back up my music an photos onto iCloud so that I can free up some space. And when I can do this how can I access the information on iCloud?
I guess I am confused like Emily.
I have uploaded every single cd I own to I-Cloud. I thought that I could access any of this from my phone but from reading this, I can't access I-cloud from my phone to listen to music? I can plug in in my car and listen to music now from my phone. If I delete my music off of my phone, then the only way I can access this music is to plug into my computer?
Am I saying that and asking that the correct way? I, too, bought extra storage on I-Cloud and I am always buying music from the i-tunes store...sometimes from my phone and sometimes when I am on the computer.
I have 83 songs right now on my iphone and it says I don't have enough storage. -
I accidentally deleted some bookmarks and need them back
I deleted some bookmarks and when I go into Time Machine there is no user/library/safari/bookmarks.plist. So I got out of Time Machine and went and searched for that file and it isn't even on my machine! It's completely gone. help!
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
A folder should open with an item selected. Enter Time Machine and scroll back to the snapshot you want to restore from. Click Restore. Confirm. -
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.

Icloud storage full. Can I delete my iPhone icloud backup with keeping my iCloud data unharmed (since my iPad has iCloud storage turned on, and I wouldn't be turning iCloud off on my iPad). BTW, I use iTunes for music and photo albums; iCloud for contacts, notes, etc. Then turn iCloud back up back on on iphone to see if I had a problem file and the storage changes?
ICloud storage full. I deleted messages, moved the camera roll to my PC, deleted Safari bookmarks, turned off almost every app in Managing iCloud storage. I turned off the backup, restarted iCloud backup and did a manual backup yet my storage gets larger yet.
Makes no sense. I have a iPhone and iPad. It's the iPhone showing this large iCloud storage 3.6 GB (when the iPad has more apps and only 716MB).ANSWER to my Question above: YES.
I took a chance, as I could find NO information regarding my question, and DELETED MY ICLOUD BACKUP (not my ICLOUD account). I then turned ON my ICLOUD BACKUP and whew! It plummeted from 4.8 GB full out of 5 GB TO: 1.2 GB full out of 5 GB.
I even turned on more settings to back up and it still shows 1.2 GB full in ICLOUD, 3.8 available. No more emails to say I am running out of ICLOUD space.
[For what its worth if others are getting messages their ICLOUD is almost full, and you don't have all that much on ICLOUD. Then when you even delete apps, messages, camera roll, turn off almost ALL icloud back ups and features the ICLOUD backup grows even larger. My ICLOUD kept increasing in size while I was decreasing my ICLOUD storage in Managing storage.]
(All my ICLOUD contacts, notes, Safari bookmarks, were returned in place.) -
i got my new iPhone 5 and i connected it to my iTunes on mac and it ask me if i want to setup as new iPhone or restore backup and i restore back up but now i want to delete backup and set up as new iPhone, is the anyhow?
The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

I have an iphone 5 and and ipad3 which I wish to sync.
I went to Apple store and tech unable to do this - wasn't happening and said there was an icloud problem and to go on line to find out, as they didn't do icloud issues in the store.
I've backed up my phone in the meantime.
I want to be able to read my kindle books and access contacts between these items.
Another question, I brought more icloud storage, but iphone is not saving to icloud as well.phone will not back up as says not enough storage - keh?
Appreciate any assistance on these two things.
I have another appointment with Apple store end of this week.
Last time they also said I may need to have my iphone replaced - this would then be my thrid iphone in 4 months! First iphone the camera didn't work (lucky I found out on second day and automaticallly replaced).
This iphone is doing black screens, will not ring (despite techy trying to get phone to ring - YET the alarm works fine to wake me up). Phone vibrates but won't ring, even though set to ring.
Appreciate any help with icloud issue mainly.
I think I'm feeling a bit fatalistic I will end up with yet another replacement phone.
I am very disappointed as this is m first introduction to the iphone - not going well so far.
ipad 3 is great. Love it.
PhyllisBackup your iPhone. Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > > Back Up Now

My iPad is locked up, the message "iCloud backup hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks, needs to be plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi." It is unresponsive to the "ok" command to move forward with the backup. It is stuck.
Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

uh my phone is broken and won't turn on. so I'm getting a new phone and need to back it up but i need to unlock my passcode to backup but my phones locked sooooo idk ;/
Nothing you can do, sorry to say. If it will not turn on there is absolutely nothing you can do now to backup what is on it. The whole point of a backup is to have made it before disaster strikes. Now, with a dead iPhone, all you can do is accept the loss of your data.
You will be able to re-download iTunes and App store purchases since they are tied to your AppleID, not your device.
Have you been using iCloud for backup? If you have, then you should have a backup in iCLoud you can use to restore your replacement phone with. iCloud backups are automatic (once every 24hrs, whenever your device is on wifi, plugged in and asleep). -
today I restore my phone, before I restored it I checked that my photos are saved on my icould, I did the backup and everything was back on my phone but not my photos! please help I need my photos back :|
Hello purpleroses68
To download any photos that were on your My Photos Stream, then you will need to have Photo Streamed turned on within your computer. Keep in mind that My Photos Stream only holds the last 30 days of photos and those will be the only one that will download. Check out the articles below for more information for the process and general information about getting your photos downloaded.
Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

How do I get the contacts from my mac to sync with Icloud? I need to back up my phone since I will be receiving a new one tomorrow and the icloud contacts are not the same as the ones on my mac. Help me
OS X Lion. 10.7. Your profile says your running 10.6.8, which is Snow Leopard. You need 10.7 to use iCloud with your Mac.

I deleted my Iphoto and need to get it back! I bought this mac book off my sister and have none of the install disks. If there a download or something that I can get to reinstall it?
Depending on the age of your machine and the version of iPhoto, you may be able to download it from the App Store - but you'll need her account details to do so.
Other than that you'll need to purchase it on the App Store. -

hi me kashif Hello people,
I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.
