How do I retrieve pics and files from icloud backup?

I have set up icloud in settings but I want to check the files it should be backing up. What's the best way to do that?
Thanks!

The only way I know of to verify that it actually has the data that it should have would be to restore it to an iOS device (and that's not a good idea if you are only doing it for that reason as there can be negative consequences, especially if it doesn't have what it should). That is one reason that in addition to backing up I also import my photos to a computer http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083 and sync my contacts to a computer.

How to retrieve notes and contacts from iCloud backup account? Please help

How can i look at my files from icloud backup if my iOS device is no longer available (was stolen)?

Is it possible to view and download photos that were in each iOS device's last backup? I do not have the iOS devices anymore as they were stolen while traveling.
Unfortunately, I significantly misunderstood how photo stream was working and due to memory limitations on my iPad (very little available memory with loaded movies and other big memory uses), I had to find ways to keep memory from being totally full and was deleting photos in Photo Stream on that iOS device thinking it would only delete it on that device and not ALL iOS devices. It seems that is a missing feature selection (should be a default too IMO) on Photo Stream!!
thx in advance..

If you want to view and download your photos from your backup files, I think you need the help of third party iOS data recovery like ifonebox, dr.phone. Such kinds of software can help you view and retrieve your photos. Hope this is helpful to you.

How do I install programs and files from my backup hard drive?

I had my computer reset to original settings after I backed it up to an external hard drive and now I'm not sure how to reinstall everything from there.

Time Machine is not a application installer, it is a backup and restore app. If you erased or lost an App then open Time Machine, navigate to a time when you know you have the app and then restore it.
Have you done any backups using the Seagate drive or is it a brand new external HD? Remember we are not there to see what you are attempting to do so we are relying on you to be as descriptive as possible.

Hey there Matt.dvs1,
Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
Hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How do I retrieve bookmarks and passwords from a Windows backup, after OS re-install?I have a full Windows backup of my machine, pre re-installl

I had to reinstall Vista 7 OS. I have a full Windows backup of my machine, prior to the re-installation. How do I retrieve the bookmarks and passwords from the backup? I understand they're stored in various files a ".default" folder in C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles. When I try restoring the folder, the files get skipped... When I try browsing for the individual files, I don't see them!

Many thanks for your responses... After a little scouting on the web, I have found THE solution... This is all due to the way Windows 7 Backup works, and will NOT let restore apps...
("File restore in Windows7 is not designed to restore back applications. This is because the application state is spread across potentially multiple folders, files & registry. Windows7 file backup is not aware of where all the state is spread to be able to restore the entire application accurately as such information is internal to the application. Restoring application partially might corrupt the application and render the application unusable. So we do not allow restoring applications from file backup.
In case files under C:\Program Files etc. are chosen for restoring, we block restoring files from backup to such locations as it might cause the applications to not function.'')
What one has to do when restoring is to NOT attempt to restore to the original location, but to select the radio button which allows you to type a path where you want the files restored and type in the path of the original location!!! Then select copy and replace...A little quirky (and tedious), but it works!

How do I retrieve a deleted email from icloud?

I have deleted an email from my trash and now need to recover it for legal reasons. Can it be done?

Hi there, thanks for responding.
Back at the end of Nov 13 I reset my original iPad to factory settings and my daughter had it whilst she contributed to a new iPad mini for me. It's all those documents from Pages that I can't access....the ones I wrote on that iPad. I can see they are in the cloud but can't get them even when I open pages. It doesn't give me an option to access files from icloud.
Also, I have managed to use up all my free icloud memory. Is that usual or have I been saving lots of unnecessary stuff. I have had an iPad for 14 months and changed devices par way through. I have just got an iPhone thinking that it would be great to have info on the phone from the iPad but of course the icloud memory won't allow all my contacts to come across as there's not enough room in the cloud. (I think anyway?)
I'm not at all a whizz with this techy stuff, I fact this all shows I don't know what the **** I'm doing!!!
Help, help!,

How can I retrieve music and pictures from my Apple Tv?

I had thousands of picture, music and movie files on my Macbook Pro, which was synced to my Apple TV. I have since lost that Macbook Pro along with all the files on it. I bought a new Macbook Pro, but want to see if there is a way of getting all the old files from the Apple TV and putting them on my new Mac. I'd prefer not to pick apart the Apple TV to get to the hard drive. Is there any app or simple way to transfer files through Wifi, like a reverse home sharing? If there isn't there should be.

I assume this is a 1st gen and not the newer models (black box). In any case it is not meant to be used as a storage device and thus no easy way to retrieve

How can I get Directory and Files from a Maped Networkdrive of the AppS

Hello,
we have the following Situation.
We have a Windows-Server (Server-A) in an Network with ActivDirectory and an Windows-Server (Server-B with an WebApplicationServer outside of these ActivDirectory as standalone.
On Server-B we mapped a Directory from Server-A (FileExplorer and then MapNetworkDrives) as Drive Q.
Now i tried to get the Directory of Q:\abcd but it doesn't work.
I tried the FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING and also RZL_READ_DIR, but both doesn't worked.
RZL_READ_DIR is doing a "CALL 'ALERTS' ..." and is comming back with sy-subrc = 1
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING is doing a "CALL 'C_DIR_READ_FINISH'..." and comes back with "Wrong order of calls" in the Field file-errmsg. Next Call is "CALL 'C_DIR_READ_START'..." and this comes back with "opendir" in Field file-errmsg.
I tried the same with two Servers in the same ActivDirectory-Network. The Result was the same, i don't get the directory of the mapped drive. But now i get from the Call "CALL 'C_DIR_READ_START'..." the file-errmsg "opendir: Not a directory" and file-errno 20.
Is there any idea for solving my Problem?
I have to get this directory, read the files from the List and have to rename them after wriing the data to our databasefile.
I want to read them with OPEN DATASET, rename them by writing a new File (also OPEN DATASET) and after that i do an DELETE DATASET.
Thanks and Greetings Matthias

How do I retrieve my Mail files from a Time Machine backup?

I reformatted my iMac hard rive because I was having all kinds of problems with speed and crashing. I did a Time Machine backup and then reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Yosemite. I then reinstalled fresh apps and all my files. I just don't know where to find my email files on the backup. I don't even know where to find them on my current system. In older OS X systems, they were easily located under your user name. Where'd they go? Please help.

Open Finder then your user Library. You can get to your user Library from Finder/Go/Go To Folder and type ~/Library
Next, open the Mail folder; then click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar and Enter Time Machine. This should open Time Machine to your ~/Library/Mail folder that you just opened. Now, you should be able to copy your V2 folder for what ever date that should have all your mailboxes.
