Do iCloud Backups include all of my phone's photos or just the Photo Stream?
Do iCloud Backups include all of my phone's photos or just the Photo Stream?
I have only restored an iPhone from a back-up on my computer and when I was done I could not tell the difference between my old phone and the new restored one.
If I do a restore from iCloud will I get the same results?
(due to hard drive space limitations, the phone I am replacing/restoring has never been backed up to the computer only iCloud)

What can I do if while restoring from an iCloud backup, it is stuck on 174 out of 660 of the photos.
I am restoring from an iCloud back up and it says there are 660 photos to be downloaded. It has been stuck on 174 for the past two hours and does not seem to want to download anymore of the 660. I have tried turning the phone off and on and toggling the wifi on and off. Any suggestions?
At some point you may have to reset it to stop the restore (by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing), then try restoring the backup again.

I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!
Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

I had a new handset delivered today due to my old one being damaged. As I went to restore from iCloud backup it is telling me I can't due to the handset not having iOS 7.1. How can I resolve this issue?
Could I select 'Set up as New IPhone' and then update to iOS 7.1 and then proceed to restore the phone from my most recent iCloud backup ?
Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated.Hi again razmee209!
It has been updating since your last message and it says there's another 6 hours to go, does this sound right or is there a possibility I've been sent a re-con and the update will slow down my new handset considerably?! -
I have a 5s phone. How do I download ALL of the photos from my phone? When I downloaded all of them, just the photos on Camera Roll were downloaded. The photos in the folders were still there. Any help will be appreciated. Rosemary

i have tried updating my iphone to a newer version but after the update was completed the phone is not restarting, just the apple logo is showing up on the screen. what is causing that problem?
Re: i tried updating my iphone to a new verison but after the update the phone is not restarting, just the apple sign is showing up on the screen. what is the problem?
I have tried the above fix and iTunes crashes giving error 27 after trying to load the iPhone firmware.
I have booted my phone in DFU mode and this has made no difference.
My mac is up to date.
My iTunes is up to date.
All i tried to do was update my ios as i have been unable to make calls or send text's all day.
Do you have any other suggestions as my phone is no good to me now.
Many thanks,

I backed up my iphone last 2 day , my friend removed my photo by mistake , the photo are still saved on icloud ? I can restore them back
You should be importing ALL pics/videos taken with your iphone regularly as you would with any digital camera. particularly before any restore/update.
If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.
You can redownload apps if you have failed to transfer them to your computer before restore/update.

Should I be able to see my photos when I go to my I cloud account? On my I phone 5 s I have the photo stream turned on , but cannot see any of my photos in the cloud
No. Photo Stream is no accessible from iCloud.com.
Photo Stream is meant to sync photos between devices and is not in the cloud storage.
You may be able to access Photo Stream from your computer:
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows

I have my phone backed up to icloud but for unnamed reasons I cannot restore from icloud back up at the moment. I'm worried about my pictures. Will the back up of the camera roll delete after 30 days or is that just the photo stream?
The statement is directly from Apple and can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
Keep in mind, pictures showing in PhotoStream does not mean they will be there when a new device is added, only that they have been downloaded by the device they are displaying on.
In other words, if a new iDevice is added to the account, it will only download the last 1,000 pictures taken in the last 30 days, not every picture showing on other iDevices in PhotoStream. -
I have deleted my file "last imported photos" thinking that the photos were kept in the album, but now all my photos are gone; How can I recover the deleted photos?
MIf you have emmptied the iPhoto trash then you're going to need a file recovery application like File Salvage

All the photos dowloaded to the photo stream in my mac, will it be saved forever or does it get deleted after reaching 1000 limit ?
Photo stream photos will be deleted once you reach 1,000 unless you import them into iPhoto. You can set your iPhoto preferences to import them automatically.

HT1766 does backup include all contacts
I have an iPhone 3G s IOS 6.0 and will be upgrading in next few months to 4g/s
Does backup to iTunes include all contacts/Calendars/ Notes/Reminders and Wapp Chats?No. They are NOT included in the backup. The music and videos must be transferred back to your PC and iTunes and should be included in the backup of your PC or Mac as well.
This article provides information on what is included in the backups.
