How do I know app data is backed up on iCloud?

So I have my iPad (1st Generation) synced to an old computer that I don't use anymore, and would love to restore it so i can sync it to my new computer. The problem I have is losing all of the app data, in particular many games. It's running iOS 5.0.1 so it has iCloud on it, and when I pull up the 'Manage Storage' under ' Storage & Backup' in the 'iCloud' setting on iPad, it shows there was a backup of the iPad (including the apps) as well as a separate category of "Documents & Data" where it only lists "Infinity Blade 2 Save Files".
So does this mean the only app data that is backed up is for Infinity Blade 2? Whereas the apps listed under "Backups" is just the physical app itself without data? Or do most apps just disguise it with the general backup rather than differentiating it like Infinity Blade 2 does?
I'd hate to lose progress in the other games like Temple Run, Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja, etc. hahaha
Thanks for the help!

Can anyone help me??

IPad stolen. Can I see what app data was backed up in iCloud?

Hello,
My ipad was stolen.
How can I see what app data was backed up on icloud?
Thank you
- Jim

Unfortuantely, you can see what's in a backup without restoring it to your device. You also can't selectively restore just certain apps. Also, your apps aren't really stored in your backup, only your app data is. When you restore the backup, the app data is restored, then the apps are redownloaded from the App store, along with your other purchased media, assuming they are still available.
What you could do is back up your iPad to your computer (connect it to your computer, open iTunes, then go to File>Devices>Back Up and File>Devices>Transfer Purchases), then erase it (Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings), restore the old backup (go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup). Then you could either live with the restored backup and all it contains, or erase it again and restore the iTunes backup you made earlier (connect it, open iTunes, go to File>Devices>Restore from Backup).

Okay, I am now on IOS5. How do I know my data is being back up in iCloud? I did sign up for a me email account. Also, we have two IPads, as long as we have the same iTunes account should everything "live together" in the iCloud?

Okay, I have upgraded iPad and ipad2 to IOS5, how do I know my data is backed up in iCloud? Also, will both iPads be under one iTunes ID?

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

How may i know wich data are deleted from my sql database.

Im using sql server 2005 someone deleted some transaction from my database.In my database audit is not enable.
How may i know wich data is deleted? plz help me.

Hi,
If there has been little or no activity since the deletion, then the out-of-the-box trace may be of help. Try running:
DECLARE @path varchar(256)
SELECT @path = path
FROM sys.traces
where id = 1
SELECT *
FROM fn_trace_gettable(@path, 1)
[In addition to the out-of-the-box trace, there is also the less well-known 'black box' trace, which is useful for diagnosing intermittent server crashes.
According to your description, there is a way that you can recover most of the missing data with the aid of Transaction Logs and LSNs (Log Sequence Numbers). Usually, if you know when your data was deleted then the challenge to recover the deleted data is
not as difficult. But, if you do not know the date and time when the data was deleted, then we will have to find a different way of identifying the data. For more information, there are steps about recovering deleted data in SQL Server, you can review them.

In addition, there are steps about know who and when deleted the data.

How do I recover Apps Data from the iCloud on iPhone 4S with IOS 6.1?

How do I recover Apps Data from the iCloud on iPhone 4S with IOS 6.1?

You would have to restore to your entire iCloud backup, if you have one. (The backup includes app data.) Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

How can i delete app data on iPhone without uninstalling the app?

How can i delete app data on iPhone 4 without removing the application. Facebook application size -57mb. And its app data is 70mb

This is ridiculous!
Imagine this scenario, can't be that unlikely:
I'm going away on holiday, or away on work for a while, and I'm not taking the computer to which I sync my phone. Before I leave I fill my iPhone up with music to take with me. While I'm travelling I want to install a new app, but I don't have space. I look to delete content from the phone - I can delete podcasts but not music. Unfortunately I don't have enough podcasts to free up space that way. So I don't purchase the app I wanted.
This is bad for:
1. The user (me)
2. The app developer - lost download.
3. Apple - they lose their cut of the app download, and royally p#@* off a user.
Can someone explain to me why this limitation is good for anyone?!

How do i know if my photos are in my icloud?

My iPhone took a little swim in the ocean yesterday and will not turn on. How do i know if i have backed up my photos in the cloud? Thank you!

If you enabled iCloud backup on your phone in Settings>iCloud, you phone would back up to iCloud every day as long as it's connected to wifi and your charger and the screen is locked. If you aren't backing up to iCloud, your phone would be backed up to your computer every time you synced it with iTunes. You can check by opening itunes on your computer and going to Preferences>Devices and checking on the Backups list.
You would have to be signed into your iCloud account on your computer to check if your phone was backed up to iCloud. This explains how to sign into your account on your computer: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ (requires Vista SP2 or higher on a PC or OS X Lion or higher on a Mac). If you can do this, you can then click Manage on the iCloud control panel for Windows on a PC or in System Preferences>iCloud on a Mac to see whether you have an iCloud backup or not.

Set up iCloud on your new computer, sign into your account and turn on your data syncing. The data will then download to your computer.

Stop repeatedly posting this misinformation. The data viewed at www.icloud.com is not the contents of an iCloud backup.
Please learn the difference between iCloud backup and sync, before answering questions with wrong information.

I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.

HT201317 how do i look at my pictures backed up to icloud

how do i look at my pictures backed up to icloud

If you mean photo stream photos, you look at them on your devices sharing your iCloud account with photo stream enabled. If you want to view them on the internet, you'll have to create a shared photo stream as a public website, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.

telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?

Hello,
I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?
Thanks!

I wish, essentially you have an image file of your personal information integrated with parts of IOS in the cloud server. If you had it on your computer - you could use one of the software extractors (bunch with google search, paid and free). From icloud server it can be restored to other iphone, ipod touch, ipad - then backed up or imported to computer for you. Then that other device can return to your friend or family member. That is the only way I can think of.

How to prevent ipad apps from being stored in the iCloud and how to bring them back to the iPad

I have an iPad Mini Retina with 128GB of storage. I purchased about a dozen apps and it gets stored in the iCloud and I don't know how to access them on the cloud storage. Plus I have many apps from me itouch that I use and they are also stored on the iCloud.
How can I prevent further apps that I buy from gettting transfer to the iCloud?
How can I download my existing apps that I purchase and that are from my itouch that are stored in the iCloud into my iPad?
How do I access my iCloud storage from my iPad?
Thanks.

You make it sound like apps are disappearing from your iPad and uploading to iCloud. That's not how it works. Maybe somebody (or you) deleted the apps and you don't realize it.
You cannot prevent apps from being stored in iCloud. That is one of the reasons for using iCloud. It will store all of your purchased apps and you will be able to download them if you delete them, or if you buy another device that you want to use the apps on.
If you have apps that are in iCloud, just go to the Purchased Tab in the app store, tap on the Not on this iPad button at the top. Look for any of the apps that you want to download and then tap the cloud icon in order to download them to the iPad. You access your iCloud storage in the purchased tabs of the different stores or in the apps themselves. Any data that is being backed up in iCloud is on the device in the corresponding apps and you don't need to access that data in iCloud. It's at your fingertips already,
Purchased apps do NOT count against your iCloud storage. If you have 60GB of apps, they do not take up the alloted 5GB of free storage that you get. The app data would count against the storage but not the apps themselves.
