How do I get to my backup on icloud after i deleted the account from my iphone?

So I couldn't log into my icloud account. It told me the password was incorrect even though I knew it wasn't. So I deleted the account and started a new one. That is when i realized my contacts has been erased. I did a back up with the old icloud account and read somewhere that I can log into that account on the computer even though I deleted the account from the phone. Unfortunately, It still says the password is incorrect and to reset the password, I need to access that email address. Does anyone know how to get my contacts back. I also heard that some people, after updating their iOS to the newest version lost their contacts so it may have been that. Either way I do not want to manually add over 200 contacts back to my phone so someone pleeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeeee help!!!!

Make sure there is a backup from yesterday.
First, make sure you have WiFi access.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
As long as iCloud backup is toggled "On'" you should see the date/time of the most recent backup.
If all is good, got to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings.
You'll be able to begin configuring the device the same way that you did on day one. At approximately the fourth step, make sure to select "Restore from iCloud Backup."

You may not be able to get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you, particularly if the problem was on their end preventing the movie from downloading in a reasonable time.
Good luck.

How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?

How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?
Thanks for ur answers !

You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

Hi QuisB123,
If you are having an issue with reclaiming free space after deleting photos from your iPhone, use the steps in this article to assist -
If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Specifically -
Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

You would need to set up the Hotmail account as a IMAP instead of a POP3 account.

I a got a new phone and backed all of my stuff on to the new one can I now delete the old phone backups off I cloud without deleting the content from my phone?

I a got a new phone and backed all of my stuff on to the new one can I now delete the old phone backups off I cloud without deleting the content from my phone?

Yes, absolutely, but before you do, give yourself three or four days to verify that you have everything on the new phone. You also probably will not be able to delete old backup for three days anyway, I have heard that Apple places server in three days lock out after restore from backup initially started.

How do I get my "save and quit" back after updating to the latest version of Firefox on a PC?

How do I get my "save and quit" back I do not like having to close all my tabs and loose all that every time I close out of firefox. When I got the latest version of firefox I lost the ability for firefox to save my tabs when I close out of it. I have to go through the process of opening all my tabs and refinding the sites all over again each time I load up firefox. I can not find the place to change the settings to being back the way they were before firefox got the latest version. I want my "save and quit" back.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

If I delete a backup on iCloud, will that erase the data from that backup on my phone?

I had to get a replacement iPhone 5 because of a faulty power button on my first one. In order to keep my data, I used iCloud to backup my phone and transfer it to the replacement. Now I have a backup of my old phone and the replacement and that really limits my available space. (1) Is there a way to merge these together? (2) If I delete the old backup, will the data transferred from it be deleted on the replacement? Sorry if this is confusing and thanks in advance for any helpful information.

You can't merge backups. Also, deleting a backup only permanently deletes it from iCloud; it doesn't do anything to the data currently on the phone. If you no longer need your old backup go ahead and delete it.

HT1849 After I delete songs manually from my iPhone 5s, when I try to pick a song, it will not chose that song but some song above it. How far up depends on how many I've deleted. How can I stop this so I can pick the correct song the first time?

After deleting songs manually from my phone, (say, I have a song on there twice and only want one or I realize I don't want a song on my iPhone) when I try to manually pick a song in the music app on my phone, the song that plays will be one that is a number of songs above the one I chose. If I delete a number of songs, it may be four or five songs above the one I want to play. It continues after I sync it in iTunes. How do I stop this? Thanks, Gregg

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): 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 Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

How do you get to verify ID if ICloud won't let the owner in

I would like to know?
As a first time owner of an Apple device, how is it possible to verify your account in your ICloud email address, when you cannot login into it, though I am logged in here and logged into Apple home page that I could get this far.
It seems really amazing how simple this could be and yet it is the most difficult thing in the world.
Now that I have already used up my head (brains), energy and time in creating ID, will that ID now go to waste if I am going to be directed to "just create another ID".
I really don't understand how this can be secure.
Example; I get my device, thinking yes, let me get it all done before I have something else in my life to do.
My 10 year old email address, confirms it is where I will send my rescue ID.
I think perfect.
Then I go to install facebook, which directs me to enter my password, "mind you, I am already logged in my Apple ID".
Which now says I have to verify my Apple ID in my ICloud email address, where I have no folder for, like my 2 hotmail accounts and my two Yahoo account.
I trail through my settings where I find ICloud. I see it load in a frenzied spin to verify.
Then after that verification check, I see "Account Not Verified" "go to ICloud email to check verification link.
Ok, click, then touch on ICloud, enter my already "logged in" account to find, am not verified enough to enter my apple icloud email account, to verifiy, wait for it. My Apple ICloud account.
Hold on, now am getting "My account is already logged in, but am still not verified.
In the mean time, my mother is on her death bed and my sister needs a hand for all the pain she's having with the cancer and that.
Am presuming all my replies are going to my icloud account, which I can't get into, instead of my recovery hotmail account, which has no idea what problem I am facing.
But never mind, a gunius will fix it sometime later, hopefully without teling me "Why don't make a new ID"
Oh yes, it has been upgraded in less that 12 hrs of having the device and I have been trying with this device since 6pm - 6am UK London Time

OK, so, in a nutshell, what is the specific issue you are having and what is the question?
Cheers,
