How do I restore from an earlier icloud backup that is not showing up for my ipad?

You can't. Usually you have only the most recent backup to choose from (I do). Some users has said they get 3 to choose from (this is the max as stated in Apple literature). You can't go back further than that.
The usual advice is that all photos should be synced to a computer (too many users have lost some/all their photos doing a restore - don't trust them solely to icloud). If you've been doing that, you can find them on your computer.

When I connected to iCloud with iOS 6, everything on my phone was somehow lost. The most recent backup still exists on my iCloud accound, but not my computer. How can I restore this iCloud save onto the phone without using the computer?

You'll need to restore the device from the settings menu, when it restarts the set up assistant will prompt you to restore from iCloud or as a new phone.

Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

There's an iCloud backup but how do I restore from it?

I backed-up my iPhone to iCloud and then performed a factory reset. Now I want to restore from the backup, but in iTunes it says 'Your iPhone has never been backed up to iCloud' (and the backup doesn't appear in the list) and in iCloud Backup on the iPhone there is an option to back-up again but not to restore. The timestamp at iCloud Backup is when the pre-factory-reset backup was made, and all of the backed-up data seems to be listed at iCloud Manage Storage, so it seems that the backup is there, but how do I restore from it?

Whichever you prefer, iTunes or iCloud. Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? - Apple Support

HT4859 How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone. If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so. Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

How can I restore my icloud e-mail address?

How can I restore my iCloud e-mail address?

You can't change and iCloud email account address once created. You can either create a new iCloud account, or add an @icloud.com email alias address to the existing account, which will receive email in your existing iCloud inbox (more details here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.
If you would rather create a new account and keep your data, start by saving any photo stream photos on your phone that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data. When you turn Mail on you will be asked to create your new iCloud email address. Type carefully as it cannot be changed later.

HT201250 How do I restore from Timeline external backup to a different drive?

Good day! Here's my current architecture
1 MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2
1 Lacie Rugged External Drive (1T)
1 G Drive 2T RAID
1 MyPassport External Drive (2T)
I have been backing up weekly both the MacBook Pro AND the Lacie to the RAID Device.
Lacie Rugged: My Lacie has my iTunes. Recently there have been issues with communicating with the Lacie. Genius bar says there is an issue with the drive itself. I purchased a new Firewire to troubleshoot. Still shows that the drive accidentally disconnects (e.g. not available) after about a couple of minutes.
So I bought a new drive.
Restore: When I plug in my new MyPassport and access my Timeline backups, I cannot see the Lacie backups to restore. It seems that Timeline requires the original drive (Lacie) to be plugged in (which is the one I am having issues with).
Question: How do I restore from a backup(Lacie) to my new external drive(MyPassport)?

I imagine you mean Time Machine, not TimeLine. If you do mean Timeline, I have no idea what that is.
