  • How does iCloud app backup work?

    So I am backing up my app data to icloud. Two questions. One, if I delete an app, will I be able to retrieve the app data from icloud and resume my game with the same progress? Two, how often does my ipad back up the app data, and does it do it on its own?
    Thanks!

    iCloud does not back up the apps themselves. You can always re-download any app from the App Store (as long as it remains available there which is why I recommend keeping a copy in iTunes on your computer). Some apps safe progress to iCloud, some save to other systems. Check with the developer of the apps you use to find out what your options are.

  • HT5824 I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have number

    I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
    I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
    I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere. 

    No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

  • My phone wouldn't back up with iCloud because it ran out of storage . I purchased more iCloud storage after a week and after doing an iTunes backup and now it won't backup with the cloud

    My phone ran out of iCloud storage. After a week I did an iTunes backup then bought more iCloud storage and now it won't back up with the iCloud.

    Do you have sufficient storage now?  And did you turn on iCloud backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup?

  • My Macbook has died. Mail and Firefox wouldn't boot up today and so I turned it off at the button. Now I've just got a spinning wheel and nothing works. In the middle of doing a magazine too, altho I did some backup on a stick.  Any suggestions?

    Try rebooting while holding down the Command and R keys (two keys).
    If you see an icon for Recovery, select it and continue.
    Then select Disk Utiltiy and press Return.
    Now select the hard drive and the Repair Disk.
    Quit DU when that is done and restart.

  • Does iMovie 08 have a Backup to Disc feature like iTunes?

    Does iMovie 08 have a Backup to Disc feature like iTunes? This way you could back up your entire Movie Library by feeding it discs, and then periodically only backup what has changed since the last backup? Does iPhoto 08 have this feature as well?
    Thanks. Red

    Does iMovie 08 have a Backup to Disc feature like iTunes?
    no.
    videos usually have 13GB/h .. HiDef 40-50GB/h ..
    if you want a backup of your Movies Library, consider the usage of a huge external, firewire connected harddrive (MacOsExtended formatted) ...
    .. I mean huge.. really huge ..
    ... have I used the word homeserver? CubePro? ... no, I haven't !!

  • Does iCloud function as an cloud iPhoto backup?

    I am interested in using iCloud as a cloud based back up for my photo/video library.  Does iCloud function in this capacity (I realize I will outstrip the 5GB limit and need to purchase more data space) or does it merely function to wirelessly push data/last 1000 photos etc in between my iPhone/iPad/mac?  Also, if this backup functionality is a reality, if our original data is damaged (fire to hard-drives etc) are the photo/video retrievable from the cloud in the original data size? Thanks.

    PhotoStream is purely a conduit for copying photos taken by or added to one device onto the others: photos are held for only 30 days on the server and they are not accessible there, only on the devices.
    There is no backup facility for your Mac or file storage facility on iCloud. These pages examine alternatives for file storage and photo gallery respectively (they are written for people moving from MobileMe but the essential information is the same):

  • Does icloud backup iwork documents

    does icloud backup iworks documents

    Hello, thanks for using Apple Support Communities,
    Yes, iCloud does store iWork Documents in the cloud to be pushed to all of your devices; this is an optional feature. Back to My Mac also allows for you to take a backup of your app, and all documents associated with them, in case your iPad is lost, stolen, or broken.
    As for storing all of your documents and always pushing them to your devices, you may choose which apps apply as well.

  • Does icloud backup app folders?

    So i have a lot of apps for many reasons. But i was wondering, since i have at least 15 folders filled with apps, does icloud back all this data up? so when i restore my apps and icloud backup, everything was as before? or do i have to re-arrange all apps yet once again to get them how they previuosly were...

    The apps listed under Documents & Data are apps that are storing their data in your iCloud account (called "Documents in the Cloud").  These apps are syncing their data with iCloud so that you can share the data across multiple devices sharing the same iCloud account, such as saving a Pages document on your iPhone, then editing the same document on your iPad.  This is separate from your backup.  You won't see any evidence that the app data is being backed up, either on your phone or on icloud.com, beyond the fact that you can see that your turned the app to On under Backup Options.  If it's turned on there, the app data will be included in your next iCloud backup, and will be restored to your phone should you ever need to restore your iCloud backup.

  • HT4847 what does icloud backup do?

    What exactly does icloud do and why do I need it?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can use iCloud backup, to back up your mobile device. You can use the backup file to restore your device should you encounter problems with it. In many ways it does exactly the same as backing up to iTunes, but doesn't require you to own a computer.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • HT201269 When I backed up my old iPhone on iCloud, the backup does not show up on new iPhone setup screen. How do I fix this?

    When I backed up my old iPhone on iCloud, the backup does not show up on new iPhone setup screen. How do I fix this?

    if I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

  • HT4859 does iCloud backup also backup my iTunes music?

    does iCloud backup also backup my iTunes from my iPhone?

    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be transferred to you iTunes library by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes, authorizing your computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources (such as your CDs) should already be in your iTunes library.
    Once your music is all in your iTunes library, you simply sync it to your new phone.  To transfer your other data and settings to your new phone, see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

  • HT4859 Does iCloud backup messages

    Does iCloud back messages automatically inside the 5 gb

    If you are backing up your phone to iCloud the backup will include your messages along with other data and settings.  You won't be able to see or access these messages separately; they can only be restored to your phone along with the other data and settings stored in the backup.  Also, the backup does count against your free 5 GB of iCloud space.

  • How does iCloud manage app data like whatsapp ? Does it overwrite the data everytime I backup to I cloud with the data on the phone or it merges the data from previous backups with the new data?

    How does iCloud manage app data( like whatsapp) ? Does it overwrite the data everytime I backup to I cloud with the data on the phone when i backup or it merges the data from previous backups with the new data?

    You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    To transfer iTunes Store purchases made on your phone to your computer, connect your phone then choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.
    Photostream transfers photos taken on your iOS devices to other devices and your computer. For troubleshooting Photostream see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
