How do i restore pictures from an icloud backup?

Hi, does any one know how do i restore an icloud backup? i have not photo streamed any of my photos on my iphone 5 and whilst trying to sort this out i have ended up deleting about a 100 photos. Is there a way of retrieveing these through using the icloud back up?

The iCloud backup only includes camera roll photos, not photo stream photos. If they were in the camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them.

How to restore Data from past iCloud backup?
Is there a way where i can retrieve my spreadsheets from the past iCloud backup of numbers?

Your Numbers documents were synced with iCloud so they would be stored on the server rather than being included in the backup. If you were signed into your iCloud account on a Mac that you were backing up with Time Machine, you could restore them from your Time Machine backup.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

Be aware that photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving and that relying on a restore from an icloud backup may not return all (or any) of your photos. Once on the computer, you can sync the photos to the new device...

HT4859 how do i restore to a previous icloud backup

HT4859 My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox. I kept getting a IMAP error. How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox. I kept getting a IMAP error. How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues. What I would suggest you do is the following:
If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted. This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on. This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.

How do I get pictures from my iCloud account onto my samsung galaxy mega?

I just got a Samsung Galaxy mega and I used to have an iPhone 4 so now how do i transfer my pictures from my iCloud account onto my samsung? Is there an app for the iCloud that I can use or is there some other way that I can retrieve them? I have little knowledge of iPhone and Samsung so if there's something I'm not doing right please let me know! But I have a whole bunch of pictures on my iPhone and I want them onto my samsung and I have no idea how to get them there! Thanks for your help!

The easiest way to get them into your phone is to use Google Drive. I would assume that this is on the phone, and if you have a Google email account you have access to the drive. If you don't, it's free and will also get you sign-in to the Google Play Store for apps.
There is a application for Macs for the Drive, but I would recommend avoiding it as it's been known to cause trouble. Just go to the Drive from your GMail webpage and upload the photos. Then on your phone open the Drive and download the photos.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

How can I restore contacts from my iCloud account?

I need to restore my contacts that were backed up to iCloud on 11/21/12. How can I do that?

Your contacts are not included in the iCloud backup, they are synced to your iCloud account. If your contacts are not in your iCloud account on icloud.com when you check with your computer you won't be able to recover them from icloud.

I got a replacement ipad. how do I restore it from a previous backup on icloud?

I am trying to restore a previous backup on icloud from a previous ipad2 (that got dropped and shattered). How do I do this? It is not letting me select the backup to restore. I had to upgrade the iOS from 6.0 to 6.1.3. Any help is appreciated.

Are you sure you have a backup in icloud? It wont let you select one until after the restore has been started.
Once you go though the setup process during the restore, it will prompt you for your apple id, it has to be the same one that's assciated with the icloud backup.

HT4910 I do not want to backup my email, how do I remove this from the icloud backup?

I do not want to back up my emails to iCloud, how do I deselect my emails to free up space on my iPhone?

You can't deselect it. Your mail isn't stored in your iCloud backup, it's stored on the iCloud mail server and the space used is charged to your storage plan. If you want to delete some of your mail so that it takes up less space you can do that either on your phone or on icloud.com, but if you delete it, it will be deleted from the server and therefore from all of your devices that access your mail account as well.

I lost my contacts - how to I restore them from my computer backup?

I need to restore my contacts on my wife's iPhone. They mysteriously disappeared and I want to restore from her computer iTunes /backup - but when I plug the iPhone in - it begins to "backup". I'm afraid if I allow the "backup" to proceed it will wipe out the computer back-up and replace with her "empty" iPhone contacts.
Can I simply "restore" the lost contacts from the computer?

If you have them synced to a supported application on the computer. If the phone begins a backup as soon as you connect it, then you want to go into Settings in iTunes and turn off automatic syncing. From there, you can choose to either sync the contacts if you have them in Address Book, or Contacts, or Outlook, or restore them from iCloud, or if you have a backup of the phone, you can restore the phone to the last backup that had the contacts on it.
