How can I access my iCloud backups on my pc? I'd like to see my pictures and videos...

My iCloud backup is full. How can I access the backup on my pc to see if I want to copy it (photos and vids) onto my pc and then delete it? btw iOS 7... I cannot upgrade to iOS 8 due to lack of storage space.

You can perform an update of the iOS in iTunes. Connect the device to the computer and iTunes and update. You cannot see the content of the iCloud backup on the PC. It is not a file for you to view and choose content. A restore from a backup is all or none. As far as content is concerned, you have dates for backups, and you would more than likely want to save the newest backup. As far as what is backed up to iCloud, you can look at this support document. iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview

  • If I restore my iPhone, how can I access the iCloud backup?

    I accidentally let my 4-year-old daughter mess with my iPhone 4, she set a passcode, and now my iPhone has locked me out. I backed up everything to iCloud but its not synced to any computer I have in my possession right now. If I plug it in, bring up iTunes, and restore, how can I access everything I backed up to iCloud? And also does the iCloud information back up to the individual computer or to iTunes itself, I don't want to wipe out all my information and start from scratch if iCloud doesn't let me access it. Help!?

    On iPhone turn WiFi ON. Go to Settings App and turn iCloud ON. Select the data you want back on your iPhone.

  • How can I access my iCloud account from my computer, when I'm running OSX Leopard?

    I have a Mac Book running Leopard and I don't have the iCloud icon in my settings.. How can I access my iCloud account/back up my computer to the cloud?

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 which is Snow Leopard, but that is still not compatible with iCloud. You cannot back up your computer to iCloud in any case - it doesn't provide for that, only for iOS backups.
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    If you have already set up an iCloud account on another Mac or device you can make limited use of it with Snow Leopard - details here.
    To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    (If in fact you are running Leopard and it is an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.)

  • How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?

    How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?
    I recently had to get a replacement iPhone 4. The tech at the Apple Store thought that I might have had a software problem and recommended that I not "restore from backup," but start this phone as a new device and just sync the apps and what-not. My calendar on my computer was different than the one on my old phone, though, and now I need the data from my old iPhone calendar. I did back up my old phone just prior to taking it to the Apple Store.
    HELP!

    Well what you can do is update to ios5 then use icloud to sync your calandar up to your phone then restore your phone as new and when prompted in the new phone setup put in your icloud username and password and you will have your calandar events back.

  • How can I access my ICloud history?

    How can I access my iCloud account history?

    I don't know what you mean by your iCloud history, but you cannot log into iCloud and see apps, videos, movies at anything of that nature. iCloud is a backup that stores your purchased app, songs, movies, TV shows, books, app data, etc. when you restore from an iCloud backup, you restore those items back to your iPad - assuming that you are backing up with iCloud.
    If you want to see your iCloud "history" look in the purchased tabs of all of the stores, look at all of the content that you have on the iPad (content that is not synced from iTunes) and that is essentially your iCloud "history".
    Exactly what is it that you want to see?

  • How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

    how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
    iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
    I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
    iCloud then three options
    set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
    Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
    or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
    my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
    Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
    This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
    thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

    I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
    So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
    Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly.  So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
    I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
    Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though .  Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar.  Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
    iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
    So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend.  The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking).  Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem.  I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

    I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one it made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

    Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once three iCloud accounts have been created on any iOS device, it can you no longer be used to create any more accounts, regardless of what you do to it. You will need to use a computer or another iOS device to create your account and then use the details to log into your account on your phone.

  • How can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

    how can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

    Purchasing additional storage only applies to iCloud, not to the phone itself. You cannot purchase additional storage for the phone, only purchase a larger capacity phone. If you have deleted all of the content that you can, then that is all of the space that you have. What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Does this have to do with space for performing an OTA update of the iOS?

  • How can I access my iPhone backup stored in iCloud?

    Hi,
    My iPhone was stolen a few months ago and I now have an Android phone. I have an iPad and it shows that my iPhone was backed up onto iCloud. How can I access this back up to retrieve my photos/notes etc?
    Thanks
    Jessica

    What content were you planning on deleting?
    Any data you sync with iCloud will be deleted from iCloud as soon as you delete it from any of your devices.  And if you delete the content from your device and continue backing up your device to iCloud, the new backup will overwrite the old one and it will no longer be stored in your backup either.
    In other words, you really should think of iCloud as a way to permanently store data so you can delete it from your devices and restore it again later.  iCloud is designed to keep the data on your devices consistent, and to back up the data on your device at the time of the backup.

  • How can I use the iCloud backup files?

    Recently I lost my passcode and I had to reset my iPhone. Some of my data is on iCloud but I don't know how to use my camera roll again in my Photos. All I want is to know how can I store my pictures and videos from iCloud to my Photos.

    Your camera roll is included in your device backup by default, unless you excluded it in settings.  However, you can't view the photos and videos (or anything else) in the backup; you can only restore it to your device.  Later this fall, iCloud Photo Library will be introduced along with iOS 8.  At that time, you can start storing and accessing your photos and videos in iCloud (see https://www.apple.com/icloud/preview/).
    If you want to store your camera roll, import it to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

    On a computer browser, log into icloud.com using your ID and password.  Or perhaps you mean that you want to enter an ID on your device to access icloud.  If so, go to Settings>icloud and log in.
