How to choose what is backed up in icloud?

Hello,
I would like to find out how to choose what is backed up in iCloud. Mine is full but i dont think everything on my phone needs to be in there. Can you please help me filter what should be backed up and what doesn't.
Thanks,
Julie

You can change the settings as well as delete old backups in "Settings > icloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage". I hope this solves your issue.

HT4859 how to see what is backed up in iclooud

Hi there,
I am quite new to this icloud lark and wondered if there is a way of seeing what is actually stored in icloud. The last time I had to back up I lost all my photos as I didn't know about putting the photostream on. I was having problems with my 3GS phone holding a charge - it had gone from 36 down to around 8 hours so about a month ago I went to the Apple store where they replaced it and the new phone was great : back to 36 hours before recharge again. This week I downloaded ios6 after a prompt which said it would be better for the phone, and now this phone is only lasting about 8 hours which is why I'm going back to the Apple store yet again to see if they can sort it out. Does anyone else have this problem after this download? Apple won't even look at the phone if it hasn't been backed-up which brings me back to my original question of whether I can check that my photos have been backed up this time???

Tough call. Only photos in the camera roll are backed up and only if camera roll is turned on...
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.

TS4036 I can not find my photos or contacts. Help how do I get them back after a icloud back-up was done due to needed a new phone..

I cannot find my photos or contacts. Help how do I get them back after a iclound backup was done due to needed to get a new iphone. HELP

I believe I had leopard and I was having issues getting errors of system not being supported. I contacted Apple and was advised I needed to upgrade to snow leopard. My laptop is from 2009 and I haven't done anything to it till now. The apple rep also stated I should do a fresh install when putting snow leopard on so my laptop would run faster. Apple rep told me to get a external hard drive to put my info on it so the fresh install would reset everything to like it was brand new. I had someone help me with getting everything on the EHD.. doing the right format and such and then once that was done I put in the CD for snow leopard and hit install. Which brings me to now, with everything but my pictures. I have the EHD plugged in... now what? What do I do? I have looked in the EHD in iphoto and it was all standard images *not my pictures but images of a check mark or an arrow again not actual pictures. I don't see a folder pictures and i looked for images and found nothing. I have Applications, Included Free Designs, Library, System, User Guides and Information and Users, those are my options and non of those have a "pictures"
I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 & Mac OS X version 10.6.3

How do i view photos backed up on icloud

When you backup to iCloud, your Camera Roll will be saved as well.
Are you using the same AppleID as previously?
This document explains, what will be backed up in iCloud:
iCloud: Backup and restore overview
And this, how to backup and to restore from an iCloud backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Does the step 3 and "Show all backups" not show any backups?
Do you have been syncing with iTunes on a computer as well? Did you make a backup with iTunes?

Now my iCloud shows back up from 3 different devices. I am sure that a lot of the back up would be repetitive.
However unable to see the back up hance eating up unnecessary space.
please advise how to merge all these three back ups

You can't view or edit the contents of a backup file at iCloud.

How do i restore a back-up on iCloud?

Hi,
I have a back-up saved in the iClould, how do i restore it back to the phone?

If you apps are still in iTunes, you should be able to sync them back to your computer. Otherwise, if you have iOS 5 (5.01) on your phone you could redownload them by launching Apps, press the Purchased button at the bottom, press Purchased at the top, then Not On This Phone. This will list your apps and allow you to redownload them. If you've purchased apps using multiple Apple IDs, you will have to sign in to each of these IDs to be able to download all your apps (by going to Settings>Store>tap on the Apple ID, sign out, sign back in using another ID).

How to Choose what backs up?

I'm read in a couple of people responses to other issues that there is a way to choose EXACTLY what you want backed up by TM... How do you do this? I don't see this preference when I open TM prefs?

So, just to make it clear what I'm trying to find out here:
I don't want to back up my entire HD... I really only want TM to back up my photos, music, email and client folders with graphics in them. Is there a way to ask TM to only back up those folders? I'd LOVE to be able to do that...
thanks,
seth

HT4865 How can I view what was backed up in icloud

How can I view my stuff that was backed up in icloud

You are wrong. The data shown at www.icloud.com is not the contents of an iCloud backup. That is the data which is 'synced' between devices and computers - it is not a backup.
You should learn the difference between an iCloud backup data, and iCloud synced data. They are not the same.
Read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859 about what an iCloud backup is and what it contains.

How to choose what to learn?

Let me explain the project I want to complete and hopefully you can tell me what I need to learn.
I am a teacher and I want to have my students create a walking history tour of our town App for iOS and Android. It will be a few windows: a map, a list of locations, and an info window that displays pictures and text about the location. I am trialing the Creative Cloud in the hopes that this will suit my needs. It looks like it is possible to do this in Flash pro or Flash Builder or even InDesign, but thats just it. I can't figure out where to start. Our students use Photoshop, Indesign, and Flash at our school. All CS3. My hope is that a project like this will convice the school to buy Creative Cloud for Teams, but I need to be sure I can produce a finished project. I have used Photoshop and Lightroom a lot, but hardly anyflash. My coding skills are limited to HTML, CSS, and basic javaScript. I am not afraid to dig into some tutorials or books, but I need to know which ones will help me, and which ones are a waste of time. There is so much out there! Do I start with just basic flash tutorials? Even then am I using Flash Pro or Builder? Can I have the students design things in InDesign or Photoshop and send them to me to put into flash builder? I tried researching this, but I thought the forums might give me better advice. Thanks.

Yeah you got the jist of of it. I wanted to ask the photography class to take photos of the locations, and be able to put them in the app. That I think will be no problem. I was also hoping that designing the layout of the app could be done in InDesign like Terry White does here: http://terrywhite.com/techblog/how-to-create-ipad-apps-with-indesign-cs6/ . Though it looks like that is more of just a portfolio project for the iPad, and if I want more features I will have to use Flash. But the thing I guess I am really asking is where to start? Flash builder tutorials or Flash Pro? What will I need to keep in mind since most tutorials are made for Flash Player and not mobile?

I bought a song today and ALL of my music disappeared... How do i get it back? Does icloud restore it?

I bought a soong today from itunes. While the song was downloading, my phone blinked off. Came back on and finished downloading the song. Problem is now ALL of my other music is gone. Anyone know how to get it back? Does it correct itself after it backs up to the icloud tonite? Can I do a "back up now" to my icloud to retrieve it? Completely lost and frustrated... HELP!

A backup doesn't contain the contents of the Music app (nor the Videos app). Have you tried closing the Music app via the phone's multitasking bar and seeing if the music shows when you re-open the app ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Music app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't work then if the music was purchased from iTunes, then depending upon what country that you are in (and if the music is still in your country's store) then you might be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone. Or have you been connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over - if you have then you can sync them back.

How do I restore a back up from icloud from iphone 4 to iphone 5

I bought an Iphone 5 to replace my iphone 4. The verizon customer service set my phone up for me but when I got home I realized that what i actually needed was to have data restored/moved over from my iphone 4 so that it would have all my texts, messages, apps etc. I can't seem to find where i get the setup assistant to do a restore from the iphone 4's backup i have on icloud. How do I do that?

Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will reset the device to factory settings, so you can go through the same setup as you did out of the box. One of those steps is choosing if you want to restore from a backup.
