How do I temporarily stop downloading photos after a recent restore from backup

I recently restored from back up. I would like to temporarily stop the photos from downloading. How can I do that?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.

  • I updated the software of my iPhone 4s, but now iTunes says my computer is synced with another device, even after I click "restore from backup."

    I've selected the "restore from backup" button numerous times, but iTunes continues to give me the message, "This computer has previously been synced with another device." It then gives me the option to set up as a new phone or restore from backup. I want to put my music and apps back onto my phone! How can I get my computer to recognize my phone again?

    I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
    Plug your phone into iTunes
    Click setup as a new device
    Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
    Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
    Plug your phone back in
    Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
    This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device.

  • HT1657 How can I make my rentals play after reloading my computer from backup?

    Hi,
    I rented movies and then backed up my computer then installed a newer version of Windows on it. I restored my iTunes library from backup, but none of my rented movies will play. How do I fix this?

    Aha - I did it. Switch off Voice-over, then add a sorted playlist. Fingers crossed...

  • New photos/videos gone when restored from backup. Why?

    Just got the iPhone 5 over the weekend, which was a huge upgrade from my 2009 3G!
    I didn't get around to plugging the phone into my MacBook Pro until today. When I synced my new iPhone, I clicked "restore from previous backup", which then it put all my old photos from 3G onto iPhone 5.
    However, when this happened, all of my SMS and photos/videos that I took over the weekend are now gone. I presume the iphone replaced the new photos with my old ones?
    Is there any way I can get those videos and photos back? Please let me know!
    Thanks

    When you restore from the backup you only get the data that was contained in that backup. You will lose any data on the device that occurred after the backup point.
    Restore = Replace data on device.
    It does not "add" that data to the existing data on the phone.

  • After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.

    After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.  Everything else seems to by fine, however. I have all my apps, contacts, even my photostream back, but my camera roll has said "downloading 137 of 1,345" for two days.  I really don't want to have to start over as the whole process took almost 3 hours. Help?

    Someone mentioned that syncing with ITunes, making sure that photos are being synced - even with an empty folder, fixed the problem.  I tried it and it didn't work for me.  Anyone got any answers that don't include losing the photos or erasing and restoring from backup again?

  • I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can I see my messages after restoring from backup?

    I have 2.1gb of messages saved in my storage on my 4s but they're not in messages after restoring from backup.
    How can I get all my messages back in my message app because I know they're their it's just a matter of getting them restored into the app.

    When you restored your phone from an old backup, it wiped ALL data from your phone and replaced it with the data from that backup.  It's like your phone went back in time. 
    Your data that was on the phone before you did the restore is now gone forever.  There is no way to get these data back.

  • I recently got a new iPhone 4 and finally plugged it into my Mac. I hit "restore from backup" and it deleted all of my photos. How do I get those photos back? My iCloud isn't showing them.

    I recently got a new iphone 4. Before plugging it into my Mac, I had taken a ton of pictures with it. I finally plugged it in to update my phone and get my music from my Mac. In the process, I selected "restore from backup". After losing all of my new pictures on my phone, and not syncing my music, it seemed like the worst thing I could have done. Is there any way to retrieve these pictures? Any help will be appreciated.

    The pics are gone.  This is what a restore is.  You erased your iphone, reinstalled your software, then added back your settings from the date of the last backup.
    You should have imported your photos to your computer as you would with any digital pictures, before any restore or update.
    Sorry

    After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music screen?

    Well, it's certainly behaving as though the phone that was backed up was synced to a different iTunes library.
    I'm going to throw one more thing out there... Yes, you backed it up to this computer... Was the phone previously set up to sync with this computer? Or was it syncing with a different computer and you just backed it up to this one?
    You may have to end up setting it up as a new device and rebuilding the phone by manually re-syncing your data, apps, music, etc. to the phone.
    Trying to keep your library on a different drive can be tricky. If iTunes starts up and the library isn't available, it may end up generating a new library ID, meaning that you could easily find yourself in exactly the position you're in now...
    I'm curious why there was a need to restore your phone to begin with... It may not have any bearing on this at all, but it could.

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.  
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
    Cheers, 
    Jason H.
