How do i recover icloud backup onto windows pc?

Hi there
My iphones contents - photos emails etc
everything was backed up to icloud,
i no longer have an iphone as the motherboard went bad.
I want to recover my backup from icloud onto my Windows Pc.
How do i do this?

Your backup for iCloud can be accessed on your computer via the iCloud website. Once you log on using the AppleID that was used for iCloud on your device, you will be able access mail, contacts, calendar, notes, reminders, and documents. Photos cannot be accessed on the cloud directly. Hopefully you were regularly backing up your photos to iPhoto or to My Photos on your PC....
If not, then if you have another device on the same iCloud account with Photostream, or if you have iCloud set up on your computer, and you have iPhoto, then you can view the Photostream that way.
The iCloud backup process is used for downloading data to iDevices - not to computers....
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
GB

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

    You can't access your iCloud backup from your PC.  You'll have to export your contacts from icloud as a vCard, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606, which can be imported to Google then exported as a CSV file that can be imported to your PC.

  • How do I get iCloud on my windows xp pc

    Apple, this annoys the **** out of me, why can't I get my photos and videos that I take with my iPhone 4s onto my pc just by syncing to my iTunes. My phone uploads photos to the iCloud but where the **** is that as my iTunes doesn't show anything about this. How do I get iCloud on my windows xp pc. It shouldn't be this difficult to do surely. You give us a great camera to use on our phone but then make it impossible to load them onto the computer. Please help as android is calling

    Windows XP is not compatible with iCloud, you need Vista or Win 7

    how do i restore icloud backup to an existing phone not a new device

    You need to perform a reset (settings>General, scroll to bottom of screen).  This will delete everything on the device.  Then connect to iTunes and it will offer to perform a reset from either iTunes backup or iCloud.  Take it from there.

  • HT4859 How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

    How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your iPod 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 (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.
