How do I back up apps on icloud before a factory reset?

I want to reset my Mac mini which I recently bought second hand but I would like to keep my apps I've already downloaded? How do I do this using icloud?

iCloud is not a backup system, use Time Machine.

    I had this exact same problem because the router i had in my house was having interference issues and the speed was too slow to do it.
    I would download a speedtest app on your iPad and see how fast your internet is.  I think the app is called speedtest in fact.

    How to delete back up data in iCloud?

    From previous posts:
    If you mean backed up in your iCloud backup, you can delete the backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, touch your backup and tap Delete Backup, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.
    If you mean data synced to your iCloud account like contacts and calendars, you can either delete if from your device or go to icloud.com on your computer and delete it there.

  • HT4759 how do i remove an app from icloud?

    how do i remove an app from icloud?

    The only thing you can do is tap and hold the Kindle app icon until it wiggles.  Then tap the "x" next to the icon to delete it.  This removes it from the device.
    Then open the App Store app on the device and look up the Kindle app.  Then tap the icon to download it (again).  That's it, there's no other way to do this.
    When deleting an app from a device, that also removes all settings and other data files associated with that app.  What problem are you having with Kindle?

  • How to get back iWork apps if I removed them by mistake.

    How to get back iWork apps if I removed them by mistake?
    Note that I bought my mac pro retina in the first week of December 2014. Yosemite, Numbers, Pages and Keynote were already installed. By mistake I removed the three apps by dragging them into trash. If I log into the Appstore, I see that Pages, Numbers and Keynote are not available for free now.
    How do I get them back?
    PS: I want to get the genuine versions without resorting to illegal means or taking advantage of bugs.
    Thanks in advance.

    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • Iphone 4 when power on stuck in itune logo, is it possible to do back up now? (never do back up in pc/icloud before)

    Please help..
    iphone 4 when power on stuck in itune logo, is it possible to do back up now? (never do back up in pc/icloud before)

    You could try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. If it still shows the "connect to iTunes" screen, you can't do anything than restore it using recovery mode, explained here:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    And at this point backups can't be taken anymore, sorry.

    Hi Linda Loo Loo,
    If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.

  • How to trace back my apps?

    I bought some apps recently. However, I have not backed up ever since.
    I just updated my iPad to iOS4. It crashed during the updating and I have to reset it to the original form.
    All my apps were lost. The apps I bought before can be recovered from iTunes on my desktop (they were backed up). On contrary, The apps which I purchased lately are totally lost. How can I trace them back?

    If you already purchased them, then just repurchase them in iTunes. You will not be charge for the apps again.

  • How do I delete an app from iCloud?

    How do I delete an app from iCoud?

    You can not delete Perchaced downloaded apps from iCloud.
    That's the idea they are always there for you.
    You have the option to hide them so they don't show.
    Log into your iTunes account and you can hide and unhide Apps etc here.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I permanently remove apps from iCloud?

    I would like to permanently remove old and unwanted apps from iCloud and all my devices (iPad, iPhone, and iTunes), but there does not seem to be a way to do this. In fact, there seems to be an strong underlying effort to avoid this option. No discussions, no steps, no Support options.
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
    You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.
