Help! Can I restore pictures ONLY from an iCloud backup?

I had to do total reset / restore on my daughters iphone 4 due to something bogging it down. I backed up to iTunes and to iCloud. The phone works great, like brand new now that it's without all the apps and other garbage she had on there. I would like to only restore her pictures (I've already restored the contacts somehow) I do not want to restore all the previous settings and taking the chance of bogging the phone down again. Is there any way to restore JUST the pictures back to her iphone from either iTunes or iCloud?

No, when you restore from a back up it will bring the information in that back up onto your device.  There is no picking and choosing unless you manually move information onto your device.
Is what I would recommend doing is to restore from the back up, import the pictures/videos onto a computer, then restore the device and set up as new then move the pics back onto the phone.
The reason the contacts are back is because Contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notess and some other stuff are not stored within the back up.  For instance, I could hand you a brand new phone with nothing on it and you could sign into Settings > iCloud on your device and it would automatically bring that information onto your device.

    Restore the backup.  Backups are all or nothing.
    If notes were synced to iCloud, simply sync them.

    To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
    Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup

    Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

    I lost all my contacts. How do i restore my phone from an icloud backup?

    I tried to restore from the cloud today after my contacts disappeared.  I went to Settings-ICloud-Contacts and turned off my contacts.  Now the phone is stuck on "Turning off contacts."  Apple wants my serial number, etc., to help, but I can't get that info from my phone because....it's stuck on "Turning off contacts!"  I really hate IOS 7.

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.  
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
    Cheers,

  • Can I restore my iPhone from a previous backup (Not latest)

    Hi,
    Yesterday I restored my phone to factory settings (Had backed up prior to this) to try and fix a problem with my screen after speaking to an Apple Rep.
    I did this, and didn't restore from back up as I had read on many forums it could of been an issue with something contained in the backup file.
    I restored, screen still not working, so I'd like to restore from my old backup.
    However, naughty iTunes backed up my restored phone yesterday, so I can't access the back up before that.
    Anyone help me?

    Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

  • HT1414 How can I restore my CONTACTS from the icloud

    How can I restore my CONTACTS from iCloud ??

    You re-sync them by setting up your iCloud account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and turning on the 'contact sync', assuming that's what you were syncing them with before.  If you were not syncing them with iCloud (syncing is NOT the same as backing up), then you will have to re-sync them from whatever you were syncing them with.
