iCloud will save your three most recent backups of a particular device.
If the third oldest backup is three days ago, that's as far back as you can go.
If the third oldest backup is two years ago, that's as far back as you can go.
What type of information are you trying to access?

  • Does iCloud save voicemail messages from my iphone 5 when I back up? More specifically I am trying to access messages that were in my deleted folder at the time I last saved, that have since been cleared.

    Does iCloud save voicemail messages from my iphone 5 when I back up? More specifically, I am trying to access messages from my now deceased father that were in my deleted voicemail folder at the time I last saved, that have since been cleared.

    The iCloud backup includes visual voicemail messages.  I'm not sure if it includes the deleted ones or not, but I would assume it does.

  • Time Machine deleting backups from several months ago (but not the oldest)?

    During its "Cleanup" phase, Time Machine has recently been deleting backups from several months ago—even though these aren't the oldest backups, and my backup drive isn't full.
    My backups go back to January 2012, yet just today, Time Machine deleted backups from May 21, June 11, July 2, and July 23 (all in 2012). And plus, my Time Machine drive still has 200 GB free.
    Why's it doing this? Shouldn't it just either delete my backups from January 2012 first (if it needs the space), or just delete the expired backups in the past 24 hours or 30 days (based on its normal rules)?

  • Backup from 6 months ago and tonight available not from this morning

    Hello,
    I have an iphone 3G and a Windows 7 OP. I synchronised the iphone in the morning I did the same in the evening and everything is gone. So I browsed to the folder MobileSync and I found a folder from 6 months ago and the current one which has no data besides the standard.
    My question how can this happen and might the relevant backups be stored somewhere else or is there any other possible way to get my backup from this morning?

    Hi,
    The backups are stored in iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences - Devices.
    is there any other possible way to get my backup from this morning?
    If that backup is present in the iTunes / Preferences - Devices window, you should be able to use the Restore function from the Summary tab in the iTunes menu.

  • Is it possible to restore Ipod touch to a backup from a month ago?

    Help, I am no computer wiz and have managed to attempt to update my software and whipped out my music library.  In the process the system backed up so the current backups are blank.  Is there a way to restore a back up from a few months ago that I know contained everything? 

    I still think there may be a way to restore a prior backup somehow as the manual (Appendix A support and other information  page 215) for the Ipod touch says that the "previous data is no longer accessible through ipod touch user interface , but is isn't erased from ipod touch." It also makes refercence to "if you choose and old backup" but I can't find anything on getting to older backups. Any ideas anyone? 

  • I need to download an icloud backup (from 4 months ago) to my computer

    lost ALL my photos and i'm hoping the icloud back up has the photostream photos. please guide me on how to download the back from my iphone 5 to my windows pc

    Camera Roll photos in an iOS backup and Photo Stream are two different things.  If your Photo Stream has the photos that you want to recover back to your PC, you can do that by installing "iCloud Control Panel" software, which will put your Photo Streams onto your PC.
    But note that your main Photo Stream is temporary, so if there are important photos there then copy them out to a permanent folder on your computer.  Also, get in the habit of transferring new iPhone photos to your computer on a regular basis, as you would any digital camera.

  • Just restored backup from a month ago by accident is there anyway I can get all my stuff back ? I don't have iCloud ?

    BBasically what I've done is the question

    I'm not sure about older versions, but in Pages 3.x (OS X 10.9.x) select File > Revert To > Browse All Versions.  Hopefully there will be an earlier version that you can "revert to".

    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.

  • HT1766 How long should it take to restore new iPhone backup from iCloud?

    How long should it take to restore new 4s iPhone backup from iCloud?

    That depends mostly on your Internet connection download speed, and how much data you have on the phone. It could take anything from a few minutes to several days. There is no "one size fits all" answer.

  • The touchscreen of my iphone is not working, and I want to backup my most recent photos onto my mac, but I have a passcode that I have changed since my most recent backup around a month ago. What could I do to get my photos back?

    As the title says,
    My iphone touchscreen stopped working around two days ago, so I cannot input my passcode. I am trying to backup my most recent photos as I have been on a trip abroad to phuket the past week, and got back home but did not have time to move my photos from that trip onto my mac before the touchscreen stopped working. I have a problem because I backed up my iphone last around a month ago, but have changed my passcode since so my iphone is not allowing me to back up onto my mac through itunes. I wish I at least hadn't changed the passcode, or had my photos on icloud, but I have so many photos that the icloud storage would cost so much for me to keep them updated.. I am so frustrated right now as it's not that I have forgot my passcode, or that I don't know it at all, but I know it. I wish there was a software that I could use on my mac to enter the passcode or something. Is there a way I could do something about it?!

    So you are not using Photo Stream? If you are, then you can turn on Photo Stream on iCloud on your Mac, and then go to iPhoto or Aperture and the Photo Stream will show under "Web" in the sidebar.
    You can also set up your iPhoto or Aperture preferences to automatically import your Photo Stream, so any photos you take with your iPhone camera will upload and import automatically and will show under events, broken into monthly groupings.
    Photo Stream does not use any of your iCloud storage.
    Here are the Preference Screens I'm referring to:
    iPhoto:
    Aperture:
    One other thing concerning your Touch Screen. Have you tried resetting your device (nothing will be lost) to see if that will get your Touch Screen working again: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays see if your Touch Screen is working.
    Best of luck,

  • How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices

    How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices.

    Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

  • HT1766 I recently replaced my iphone and took 6 weeks of new pictures, I plugged it to my computer and by accident I restored the back from 4 months ago and erased my new pictures. How can I recover the new pictures ?? Help!!

    I recently replaced my iphone and took 6 weeks of new pictures, I plugged it to my computer and by accident I restored the back from 4 months ago and erased my new pictures. How can I recover the new pictures ?? Help!!

    Sorry those pics might be gone, since you restored from your backup.
    Only way possible if by some possibility you were able to backup your current data to itunes, then you can restore from that backup.
    Open itunes - edit - preference - devices - backup - see if there is an up to date backup.
    If you don't have one then sorry those pics are gone.

  • Restore photos from 7 months ago on iphone 4s

    I have extremely important photos I need from 7 months ago. I have been constantly syncing my Iphone with Itunes since I deleted them and I understand that the photos could be lost forever. However if there is even a slim chance I can get them back that would be a huge help.

    When you take photos with your iOS device or when you import photos from your digital camera to your computer, iCloud automatically uploads new photos from your Photo Stream to iCloud and pushes photos to all of your other devices.
    Similarly, when you delete a photo from your Photo Stream on an iOS device or a Mac, or on a PC using iCloud Control Panel, that photo will be deleted from the Photo Stream view on all your devices and computers. Each device must be using the required software (see below), and have Photo Stream enabled. Deletions occur automatically as you connect each device to either Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
    Copies of Photo Stream photos you have saved to your Camera Roll on an iOS device or imported into events in your iPhoto or Aperture library, and photos you have copied into a folder on your PC that's not part of My Photo Stream, will not be deleted when you delete photos from Photo Stream.
