How do i restore my iCloud settings after my daughter has accidentally deleted them while setting up a new phone to the iCloud account

how do i restore my iCloud settings after my daughter has accidentally deleted them while setting up a new phone to the account?

Hello Emily,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you need to sign out of your previous Apple ID on your device, but do not know the password, then you will need to reset the password on that account.  Since you do not have access to the email with that Apple ID, you will either have to reset the password using the security questions or contact Apple ID account security.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.

    The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

  • Help, I'm in tears - How do I restore my iPhone settings after upgrading iOS.

    Hi, I really hope you guys can help. I have a 3GS, and in preparation of getting the 5, I decided to upgrade the iOS from version 4.3.1 that it was using, to the latest. For some reason, it treated it like a new iPhone - which it isn't - and it's subsequently wiped all of my photos, apps (which I've managed to get most back) and over 10 years' worth of phone numbers and contacts.
    I'm in tears because I've lost everything and have no idea what I've done or how to fix it. Please help! How can I fix it?

    Thanks to you both. It gave me the option to either treat it as a new iPhone or to backup from iPad. This was on a Mac Mini which I've started using; I have an old laptop that I used to use, so I could use that to back up. I had assumed that it was all the one and the same. Will try that. Thanks.

    You cannot delete the itunes app. Try Settings - General - Reset - Reset Home Screen Layout. Check Restrictions to see if iTunes is on or off.

  • How do I restore System Roots Certificates. They were all accidentally deleted

    Someone was working on my wife's mac, and they for some inexplicable reason deleted all of the certificates in the System Roots keychain.  I can't import them from my mac, because I can't import to the System Roots keychain.

    Those certificates are issued by Apple peroidically with Software Updates, but I read a way to update them more frequently.
    Hit your Keychain Access Preferences,
    Click Certificates
    OSCP: Best Attempt
    CRL: Best Attempt
    Priority: OSCP
    This might work, it will slightly reduce the speed of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) sites as it verifies each certificate in real time instead of from a file.
    If these setting are already set, then you know what happened.
    Try to visit a certain site that requires a certificate and see if everything works.

  • Camera roll empty but shows 6.1 gb.  Restored to original settings after backing up.  When I restored the backup camera roll still shows 6.1 gb and is till empty.  I imagine that the backup contains some corruption

    Hi cfgolf,
    Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities. I agree with your assessment that something is going on with that previous backup. If you restored from that backup and the issue continues, I would recommend restoring and Set up as new. Before you restore, make sure you Transfer content so that you can sync it back after setting up as new. The instructions on how to Transfer content and Set up as new are both listed in this article.
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
    2. Transfer content
    Before you erase your device, take a few minutes to transfer your content from your device to your computer to ensure that all your critical data is safe.
    6. Set up as new
    Complete the setup assistant. When prompted to set up your device, select Set Up as New iPhone and tap Next to continue.
    Skip the Apple ID sign-in, in case the original issue was related to any of your content on iCloud.
    Note: After setting up as new, you will need to enter the Visual Voicemail password for iPhone (on carriers that support Visual Voicemail). If you've forgotten the password, contact your carrier to help you reset it.
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
    Cheers,
    -Joe

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Problem restoring files and settings after a recovery

    I did a system recovery using recovery disks purchased from HP. My files and settings were backed up during the recovery program on an external drive.
    There were no instructions included on restoring files and settings after the system recovery. I called HP and a support tech told me to run the backup program on the external drive from the admin profile which I did. However, the program put my old files on my C drive at the following location C:\System Recovery Files\C\Users\Bill.
    How do I use these files under my current user profile at C:\Users\Bill?
    I suppose I could move my data files, folder by folder, but is there an easier and better way?
    My computer is as follows:
    HP Pavilion GC673AAR-ABA m8100n, SN MX3733051W
    Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Unfortunately the backup feature within the recovery manager is used as a last resort option for gathering whatever files can be saved, and there is no way to place the files back to where they were previously.
    I am an HP employee, but my views are my own and are not endorsed by HP.

  • My iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes when i connect to it, wants me to restore to factory settings. after i agree , an alert with error 9 stopped the sync. the phone wont start

    my iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes when i connect to it and tells me that the phone is in recovery mode, wants me to restore to factory settings. after i agree , an alert with error 9 stopped the sync. the phone wont start

    Thanks for the response. There is no cloud icon next to them. All of the songs play on the phone still and no song was purchased through iTunes. I added them manually and tried to remove them manually. According to my iTunes they've been removed but they are still on my phone and working.

    How do I restore my itunes library after replacing a faulty hard drive?

    did you make a backup of your library before replacing the HD ?
    if so, how and what did you back up ?
    if not, you can redownload previous purchases ☞ Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restore bcause there are files that are used by other application. I am having Widows

    I am not able to Sync. My iPOD classic 80Gb. It tells that as iTunes can not read the contents-restore to factory settings- after restoring – it tells that it can not be restored bcause there are files that are used by other application. My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

    Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
    Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.
