Help!! iCloud Restore Issue!!

Please help!! I am so desparate!! OK, for about a week now ~ 9 apps have stalled during an update ~ and I cannot get them out of it. It says they are updating ~ and I cannot open them ~ and they have been stuck like this for almost a week. But honestly ~ right now I could care less. I messed up in trying to fix it. I was in another forum which discussed this issue ~ and everyone was thanking a Mac Tech for finally being able to help them with the update stall. He said to "Reset All Settings". I did this without further research ~ and it did an iCloud update ~ but apparently my last backup was in April as my storage was full. I did not even know~~ Honestly ~ I had never even played with it. I had everything on default settings. So problem #1 ~ it did not help the apps complete their update. So this was all for nothing because problem #2 ~ the BIG problem .... my text messages!! Everything from April up to today are just gone!! All of my business texts ~ special texts ... all just gone!!
I have been in tears for hours!!

Essentially it would mean another Internet connection yes, however it's your local network that I am wondering about and whether it could be the problem.

Help iCloud Restore Not Available

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping someone here can help me out of a tough spot...
My iPhone 4S has a cracked screen and is totally unusable. I can't slide to unlock it or enter my passcode because it's totally broke and non-responsive. This has happened whilst I'm away from home on a Christmas break, so no access to my normal machine. Some time ago I made an iCloud Backup, but this is currently switched off on my 4S.
Now, here's the bit I need help with.
Someone has given me an iPhone 4 to tide me over until I get home. They don't care about the content on it and they're happy for me to wipe it so I can get my contacts etc and use the phone.
I logged in to iCloud on the phone, but it says last backup "never" even though when I log into iCloud on a PC I can see all my contacts. The other puzzling thing is that when I go to "Manage Storage" in iCloud it says that my backup used 4.7GB and there is 317MB available.
I read somewhere that the only way to restore from an iCloud backup is to wipe the phone and then choose restore from iCloud. Is that correct, or should I just be able to choose my backup and restore? I'm confused why this phone is saying last backup: never????
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Just posting an update to say that I got this to work. In case anyone else has a similar issue, here's what I did...
a) Went into settings and chose to erase all content from the iPhone.
b) After freaking out in panic, I then went through the steps that followed and chose to restore from iCloud Backup.
c) I was relieved to see that my iCloud backup was there as an option and that the restore process is completed and all my contacts have come back and my apps are downloading. Phew!!!
Hope this helps someone else.

ICloud Restore Issue?!

I recently updated to the iOS 8 Beta on my iPad Mini and when I went to restore from an iCloud Backup it is saying that I need to enter the password for [email protected] which is NOT my Apple ID that is used on my iPad Mini. I am really confused as to how/why this is happening and I'd really like it resolved as I cannot restore my iPad Mini now since I don't know the password.

Same issue here.

ICloud Restore Issues

Yesterday I decided that I wanted to sync my iPad with my laptop instead of my desktop, since my desktop is about to die. I was fully aware that Apple doesn't allow you to do this without essentially resetting the iPad. I was OK with this because I believed that those things I designated for iCloud backup would be safe and secure as I have backed up to the "cloud" on lots of occassions. However, I go there today and discover that none of my Notes are in the "cloud". There is only one that I really want, and I really, really want it. Someone please let me know where I can find it. Thanks.

Here's a reply. You suck just as much....by not posting what you did to fix it. You're mad because no one helped you but you offer no help to someone else who might be having the same issue.

Tricky Icloud restore issue

My son started using an ipad2 at school this year and recently had it replaced due to a hardware issue. We backed his data up to icloud before handing the device over. I have now gone through the restore process and reinstated all his apps. However it turns out that one of his apps - Pages - was installed with a friend's user ID. Seems there has been a lot of this going on at school.
I deleted the placeholder app (it hadn't downloaded as I didn't have the friend's credentials naturally) and then bought Pages and installed it. However there is no Pages data on the Ipad now. I assume when I deleted the not-yet-installed Pages it took the data with it.
How do I get my son's Pages data from the Icloud backup? If I wipe the Ipad it wants to reinstall Pages with the friend's ID, not the version I have purchased. When I delete the friend's version the data is gone. Restores from Icloud appear to be a completely user non-configurable process.
Any solutions greatly appreciated.

Restores from iCloud assume that the user does not have apps/data tied to other people's IDs. I don't see a way around your problem.

ICloud Restore - Please Help

I have been running iOS5 on my iphone4 and MBP since release.
All of a sudden my contacts on both MBP and iphone4 have disapperared. I have not deleted them for sure. The only thing I have done was turn my phone off for about 30mins earlier today. Since then no contacts on MBP or iphone4. Everything else is intact.
Can anyone help me restore my contacts from iCloud back up which was last done yesterday?

While the backup stores some if not all the photos in the camera roll (many users have lost photos when doing a restore from iCloud), the issue is that the user must somehow sync photos to their computers (e.g. via USB to iPhoto or Aperture on a mac or a specified folder on a PC) in order to back them up. Once on a computer, you can then move them to albums/folders as you like. But you must back them up to a computer to be sure they are safe. If you haven't done that, then chances are good that they are lost.

ICloud storage issue; Restoring iPhone calendar from iMac after accidental iCloud deletion

I set up iCloud to back up calendars and contacts and for find my phone. Initially, it seemed to work alright. Then I got messages on iPhone that there wasn't enough iCloud storage, even though the storage tab showed that I had used none of my iCloud storage at all. So I turned off iCloud/contacts. In iTunes I switched back from iCloud backup to backup from my iMac.
Later I got the same message about not enough room in iCloud even though only calendars involved. So I truned off iCloud/calendar on my iPhone and was given the choice of keeping the calendars from the iCloud or deleting them (a foolish choice without a failsafe!!!). I clumsily and mistakenly hit delete. My calendars have most recently been synced with my new iMac and appear on the iMac and should also be in TM. But right now there is no data in my iPhone calendar.
When i go to calendars within the iiphone calendar there is a check next to Calender under "from MY Mac" and no reference to iCloud. (There are no separate calendars for me, my wife, and joint. Does this mean somehow these calendars have been merged because of iCloud?)
I don't want to do another sync until I can make sure that the sync with the iMac will resotre the calendar(s) to the iPnone. How do I do this?
Do I have to do anything on the iMac before I try a sync?
How do I avoid these problems in the future? The only thing I really would like from iCloud is "find my phone". How do I keep that capability without backing up or su=yncing otherwise anything through iCloud?
Is iCloud still Beta?

Apple walked me through this and helped me revert to backing up on my iMac, using iCloud only for find my iPhone and iMac. The process, however, is not straightforward and what the respective mac and iPhone support people (yes, they have that kind of specialization) led me through was clearer, if somewhat convoluted, than any instructions on Apple's support or community pages.
Since my main concern was not losing my calendar and contacts information, the key was saving that, via export, to my desktop. Sorry I didn't write down all the other steps - but I see that as Apple's job. Back in the days of the IIC, Apple's manual was a model of clarity and completeness at the same time.
Bottom line is while my immediate concerns were resolved, the underlying iCloud storage issue was not. On my iPhone, I was being told that my attempts to backup to the iCloud failed because I didn't have enough storage, even though I determined almost none of my alloted space was used. This issue is not helped by the multiplicity of settings relating to iCloud, or the interfaces (such as the iCloud on the iMac through Mavericks) which present a screen of icons without additional information.
For my purposes, iCloud remains Beta.

My all contacts are available after switching to iCloud from Mobileme. Please help to restore all my contacts.

Your signature says you have 10.6.2: is this correct? Lion 10.7.2 is required for syncing with iCloud - you cannot sync your contacts on 10.6.2. All you can do is go to http://icloud.com , select Contacts, click the top contact and then the bottom one while holding the shift key to select them all; click on the cogwheel at bottom left and choose 'Exort vCard'.
Then go to Address Book on your Mac, from the File menu choose 'Import' and select your vCard. This will restore the contacts to your Mac but they will not sync with iCloud.

sorry... can't help, not having these "restore" issues (yet...) and I've done 4- Restore to Backup the past week and two "restore to new Phone" and no issues... other than the fact that with a "Restore to New Phone" my 3rd party data app's are not "recoverable" as with the "restore to backup"

TS4036 My iPhone5 was replaced today and when I did a restore I was only able to access a previous backup to the backup that I did yesterday? Hence, I do not have access to some apps such as ebooks and games. Can you help resolve this issue?

My girlfriend had a similar issue because her new device was not updated to IOS7 when she turned it on, but her backup point was created using IOS7. Check to be sure the restore point was created and then factory reset the phone after you have updated to 7.

ICloud restoring outdated apps

I have a bit of a problem here. I have a few apps that won't install from the app store with an iCloud restore because they are no longer in the app store. I didn't know iCloud restored apps fresh from online. So.. I synced the apps from iTunes after I got the error that iCloud restore wasn't complete because of this and now I guess iCloud won't restore the app data I uploaded for those apps. Is there anyway to get that data back?

Ok... I've had iOS 5 since release and everything was fine. Some reason I got the boot screen and wouldn't go away so I had to restore. I did a complete fresh restore in DFU mode to get a clean install. Every app I had on my phone last night was synced to iCloud before this happened. Now... when I restored in iTunes I used the welcome app ON the phone and restored from iCloud backup. Because the REMOVED apps were not in the app store anymore it would not load that app data and it won't let you sync your phone on iTunes via the computer because that is how iCloud works. So after the incomplete iCloud restore finished. I synced my apps and music with iTunes and now I have ALL my apps back on my phone. But since you have to restore from iCloud backup right when the phone is restored then I am not able to sync the apps before I restore from backup.
Because of all this I can't get my app data which is important for those REMOVED apps. This is a issue with iCloud with what I'm seeing. Apple needs to make a check box or something to not download your apps from the app store.
Not sure if I can be anymore clearer than this. Hopefully this helps.

ICloud restore Apps download while in waiting mode then disappear after

Hi All,
When I restore my iPhone 4 from the iCloud backup, I get prompted to key in a new passcode for the phone, Facetime password, iMessage password, and my email passwords but I do not get prompted for my AppStore password.
My apps stay in "Waiting..." mode and they start downloading at that state. The moment the download completes, all the waiting apps turn white and flash (disappear and appear) and the downloaded app disappears forever (icons have shifted as if they app was deleted).
I have tried this about 7 times already and at every single attempt, I was not prompted for my AppStore password (I'm guessing the restored apps do not get authenticated/verified so they just get dumped after download).
I then tried a few more restores and thought of ways that would "interrupt" this instant download of apps (in Waiting... state). I tried shutting the phone off after I keyed in all my passwords (I have about 5 email accounts). Upon starting back up the phone, it will go on with the automatic download without asking me for my AppStore password.
I decided to try to interrupt the sequence further (in another restore attempt) but continously tapping on an application in the Waiting... state (similar to how you would pause/unpause a new app download/update). This eventually caused the AppStore login prompt. After which, one of the apps now hit Loading... state and downloading it completely will install it. All the relevant data is restored.
Now the issue is that despite being able to do this, I still lose 1 or 2 apps (one before I shutdown and before I can hammer an app enough to make it pop up the AppStore login screen). Is there some sort of delay issue with regards to the iCloud restore process? Is it possible to get the phone to prompt me for my AppStore password immediately after a restore?
I'm not sure if this is due to my iCloud backup being corrupted (upon initial restore the phone reboots and does the loading graphics and then to the apple then get stuck in the spinning icon for a while). I dont know how much more I can describe what I'm experiencing but I will gladly provide more information.

OK...
Here's what I did to get around this problem, a slight modification of a fix for another issue...
All you need to do is Settings->General->International->Languages–>Change to British English
This will cause the Springboard to soft reset and the stuck apps will automatically resume and download themselves! Or not, in which case you can follow the steps below.
Now (very important) after perfomimng step one again, quickly go to the app that you are stuck on, move it out of its folder if necessary, to get at it more easily. Press and hold to bring up the 'x' then tap to delete. Note: You will only have few seconds, maybe 2 or 3 before the springboard finishes its refresh and the resume download kicks back in on the stuck app. Once it gets to resume restore mode, you will be unable to delete the stuck app. The rest of your apps should continue to download normally now, once the offending app is deleted. You can easily re-download that app later, once the others have finished restoring.
You can now change the language back to US English or whatever (I'm going to leave mine in the Queens English)
Cheers! Hope this helps someone.
