How to restore data stored on icloud

Hi - I have around 13gb of data stored on iCloud (i can see this when I click on manage storage).I wish to use iCloud to retrieve this data when setting up my IPad. However, when I set up the ipad and use a backed version in the icloud, I am not able to retrieve all 13gb of data. So, my question is how to use the iCloud to retrieve all this data on my IPad.
Many thanks,
James.

hi grant. thank you.
i think i am one giant step away from completing all of this. of course at the moment i am recalling your "you are trying to do too much at one time" caution. the lowdown here is that my IT guy just left for a cross country trip and is not available and i am in the weeds big time. can you help me with something?
i am in Lion and I seem to be seeing TWO user accounts named after my SHORT NAME (say this is "Mac's Mac Short Name") for my Snow Leopard install. One has the ICON for my Snow Leopard Install and the other has a default ICON.
in the USERS folder i am seeing one folder with the HOME FOLDER ICON that has the same name as my Snow Leopard Home Folder and I see one folder that has the same name as the SHORT NAME listed above. So this folder says "Mac's mac Short Name" and it has folders in it with red circles and negative symbols showing it is not accessible (these are Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures).
Since I migrated my DESKTOP (long story but i have a lot of data on here and i wanted it in Lion so I could organize it before moving some of the work that was finished to the raid volume where my DOCUMENTS folder is located) - I can tell that I /think/ that the SHORT NAME with the Snow Leopard icon is the correct user but when i try and delete the User Acount with the same short name but a default icon is says that there is 194.1 GB of data in here!
So i am confused to the point where it seems OK to copy my home folder in Snow Leopard to the Data Drive but it seems unwise at the moment to point my new Lion install there because I am so confused as to what i have for user accounts.
Did any of that make sense enough to solve? I hate to think i am out for two weeks over here.

    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.

  • How can I restore data from my iCloud account on a new iPhone 5c with a previous SW version that my old (stolen) iPhone 5?

    Hello everybody,
    I need help to restore data from my iCloud account on an unused iPhone 5c because my iPhone 5 with a newer iOS update was stolen. When I try I get a message that I cannot retore my data because the iOS on my iPhone 5c is an older version than on the stolen iPhone 5.
    There must be a way to do this. I hope to hear from you
    thanks!

    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 to restore data from my Time Capsule onto my new hard drive

    My Macbook's hard drive had to be changed, and I'm trying to restore files from my Time Capsule onto my new hard drive, but all I see are three sparsebundle files (one for each Mac we have at home, including my computer/old hard drive). From that point I don't know what else to do. If I click on it, it opens a dialogue that says "opening volumes" and it stays on that for a while.
    Does anyone know how to restore data backed up in my Time Machine from previous backups onto a new hard drive? Does it have to do with these sparsebundle files? Or, is there another way?

    how to restore particular game from icloud?

    To restore from an iCloud backup, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.   This will erase the phone; then go through the setup screens and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure to connect to your charger as this might take a while.

  • HT1766 how to restore data file from back up on iPhone 5 docs to go

    how to restore data file from back up on iPhone 5 docs to go

    If it backed up the lock file, then Lightroom was open when Time Machine ran, and the backup therefore may be corrupted.  You could try restoring that backup (without overwriting your week ago version) and see if it'll open.  If it does, you're off and running.  What methods have you tried?

  • I have returned an ipad that had data stored on icloud. How do I wipe it from icloud?

    I recently returned an iPad on which I had stored information using iCloud.  The iPad had been linked to my iMac so that what I did on one appeared on the other. The Apple Store rep wiped the iPad and said I could go online on my iMac and wipe the contents from iCloud. How do I do this?

    There's no need to worry about data in iCloud being transferred over to any subsequent owner of that iPad - iCloud data is tied to your Apple ID, not the particular hardware, so if the iPad is wiped no-one can (usually) access your data without knowing your Apple ID and password.
    As to whether anything stored on iCloud is generally safe and secure... Hmmmm....  Ask Jennifer Lawrence for her opinion on that.

  • Has anyone else lost Notes data stored in iCloud?

    I had a note that I was trying to update daily that apparently was being stored in iCloud. Today it looks like my last update was on Nov 11th. Is anyone else having a similar issue? Any suggestions on how to properly report this to Apple/iCloud Support?

    I think this has something to do with a stuck iCloud account setup I have on my iPad. Somehow I have 2 iCloud account entries for the same email account but one of them has not updated since Nov 11th due to a missing password. I was looking for a way to get rid of that mailbox/account entry today. I suspect that is the source of the data loss.

    How long are e-mails stored on iCloud servers after they have been read? Is there a way to ensure they are kept indefinitely?
