Deleted iPhone from iCloud backup-how to set up again?

Under iCloud--Storage and Backup--iCloud backup the toggle switch is greyed out, I can't turn it on.
In an effor to fix it, I accidentally deleted my iPhone backup
1.  Can I restore the backup I deleted?
2.  Any hints for how to get iCloud backup to work?  I've purchased enough storage to fit everything I want to back up

If your phone was provided by your employer or if you have added your work exchange email account to your phone, it's likely that your employer has pushed a security profile to your phone preventing you from backing it up to iCloud.  (Many employers don't want their confidential information stored on another company's servers.)  If this is the case you will see a setting called "Profile" in Settings>General near the bottom.
You would have to check with your employer's IT department to confirm this.

  • 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.

  • HT4859 How do i retrieve deleted notes from icloud backup?

    I accidentally deleted some notes on my ihone notes app and need to retreive them, can anyone help?

    You can try restoring the backup to your phone.  This may recover your notes if they were on your phone when you last backed up.
    Restoring to an iCloud backup requires you to first erase the phone.  If you have any more recent data on it that is not contained in the backup, you'll need to save that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure it's connected to your wifi and your charger as this may take a while to finish.

  • TS4036 I accidentally removed my iPhone  device from icloud backup, how do I get it back

    I was trying to clean up my backup as a message told me I was getting close to full. I accidentally removed my iPhone off iCloud backup. Can someone tell me how to get it back on please

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backup to On to start backing up to iCloud again.  If your device isn't listed under Backups, you don't have one.  To see it listed again, create an iCloud backup, either by connect to your charger and wifi, locking the screen and waiting; or by tapping Back Up Now.

  • Help restoring deleted note from iCloud Backup

    I desperately need a note I deleted from my iPad. I followed the instructions I found on this forum and others by erasing and restoring yesterday's backup from the iCloud, The problem is that the iPad starts syncing the Notes back with the iCloud before I can get to the restored note. Of course once it syncs, it's deleted again.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And no, this device has never been connected to iTunes.

    Is this what you did to restore from iCloud backup? The iCloud backup data should be older than your sync data.
    1. Erase all contents and settings
    2. You'll be asked twice to confirm
    3. You'll see Apple logo and progress bar
    4. You'll see a big iPad logo on screen
    5. Configuration start
    6. Set language
    7. Set country
    8. Enable Location Service
    9. Select network, enter password and join network
    10. You'll be given 3 options (a) Setup as New iPad (b) Restore from iCloud Backup (c) Restore from iTune Backup
    11. Selected Restore from iCloud Backup

  • Set up iPhone from iCloud backup

    Advice needed please.
    My current iPhone 5s on ios8.1 is backed up to iCloud and I will soon need to set up a second 5s but will be in a country with very slow internet and intermittent connection and no access to my iTunes.
    What I would like to do is to activate the second phone over wifi but only set it up using the native Apple apps and my contacts from my iCloud backup so as to save time in downloading.
    Is it possible when choosing to set the phone up using an existing iCloud backup to select what apps / content is downloaded or  the only option to download the full backup? I have set up phones before using iCloud backups but cannot recall whether there was an option to be selective as to what was downloaded.

    That is great, many thanks
    It is only the unreliability as to to long it will be before the internet connection drops that I want to do it this way.
    Again, my thanks.

  • How can I restore deleted emails from iCloud backup?

    I have an Earthlink email account that never synced with the server before, so I went a little crazy deleting a bunch of emails.  It wasn't until I checked my WebMail that I realized it deleted them from the server, too.  I checked with Earthlink and they couldn't do anything for me.  But I had an iCloud backup from yesterday that I tried to restore.  Except the email account keeps syncing with the server and I'm back to where I started.  Is there any way to retrieve this data?  It's gotta still be in the backup, right?
    Thanks,
    Ann

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

  • Restoring new mini from icloud backup: how do you suppress multiple itunes accounts

    I am setting up my wife's mini.  We backed up her iPad gen 3 to iCloud.  When setting up mini from icloud it askes for passwords for iTunes accounts belonging to son and daughter. They used their accounts to load apps fr me on my iPad.  I do not have their passwords.  How do I suppress the accounts on iPad so it does not try to retstore the apps they bought for me.  Thanks.

    Your title and the text in the post say two different things.
    Your title says you are restoring from an iCloud backup.
    Your post says you are doing an "iCloud installation".  Admittedly, I don't know exactly what that means.
    Please describe the exact symptom(s) you are observing, and whether whatever activity that is under way is providing evidence of proceeding.

    If your backup is in iCloud, and your new iPhone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go throught the setup screens on the iPhone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  (If it isn't set up yet, just choose this option when setting it up.)
    Be sure your iPhone it connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • My storage is almost full on iphone. How do I delete photos from icloud?

    My storage is almost full on iphone. How do I delete photos from icloud?

    You can just tap Delete Back Up, you don't need to turn off iCloud.
    Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud.  It doesn't do anything the the data currently on your phone.  You will want to create a new backup as soon as possible after doing this, however, as you won't have one until your do.  You can either intiate this manually to create one immediately by connecting your phone to your charger and to wifi, then going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tapping Back Up Now at the bottom (this will take some time to complete the first time), or you can just connect it to your charger and wifi before you go to bed and it should back up automatically (and continue to do so once daily).
    You don't need to manually connect your phone to your computer to back up to wifi, but it's a good idea to create a second backup using iTunes occasionally in case your iCloud backup ever fails (I do this weekly).  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  (Your phone will continue to automatically back up to iCloud daily; this is just a second, manual backup, on your computer.)
