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.

Transfer mail and contact from an old account to a new one ?

Hi,
The employe from the company where I got my internship are currently using mail address that are like [email protected] and the company wants them to
use the new mail address [email protected] (in both case the employee are using outlook).
The problem is that they would like to keep their old mail and contact. I know you can do a manual archive but can you import it in a new account ? Will it also
save the contact of the user ? Since it's a new account with a new domain, I really have no idea how to transfer mail and contact from the old account to the new one.
Best regards,
Dimitri

This step-by-step article describes how to copy or how to move your Personal Address Book (PAB) from one computer to another
computer.
On all installations, including those with no e-mail accounts, Microsoft Outlook creates a default Outlook Address Book. The Outlook
Address Book consolidates all your Outlook Contacts folders. The Outlook Address Book is a virtual address book instead of a physical address book because Outlook does not store the Outlook Address Book as a file that is separate from your data store. The
Outlook Address Book provides a view to your Contacts folders.
Unlike the Outlook Address Book, a personal address book (PAB) is a physical address book that Outlook stores on disk that is separate
from your data store. You can add one PAB to an e-mail profile, and use the PAB to store additional contact information.
You can use the PAB to store personal addresses or to store other contact information that you want to keep separate from your other
Outlook data. Additionally, you can use a PAB to share addresses with other users. The PAB uses a .pab file name extension, and Outlook creates the PAB file when you add the PAB to your e-mail profile.
How to identify the PAB file that your e-mail profile uses
Start Outlook.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Under Directory, click View or change existing directories or address books, and then click Next.
Under You can choose a directory or address book below to change or remove it, click Personal Address Book, and then
click Change.
Note the path of your PAB file that is in the Path box. You will require this information to find the PAB file in step 3 in the "How to copy the PAB file to
a second computer" section of this article.
For example, C:\Exchange\Mailbox.pab indicates that a PAB named Mailbox.pab is located on a Microsoft Exchange folder on your drive C.
Click OK, and then click Finish to close all dialog boxes.
On the File menu, click Exit.
How to copy the PAB file to a second computer
Quit all e-mail programs.
Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
In the Folders pane, expand the folders to locate the PAB file whose path you took note of in step 5 in the "How to identify the PAB File that your e-mail profile
uses" section of this article.
Copy the PAB file to a 3.5 inch disk, and then use that disk to copy the PAB file to the second computer. Note the path of the PAB file on the second computer.
For example, if you copy the PAB file named Mailbox.pab to a folder that is named Address Book on drive C, the path of the address book is as follows:
C:\Address Book\Mailbox.pab
Alternatively, if your two computers are on the same network, you can copy the PAB file from the source computer to a network share on the second computer.
For more information about how to perform this task in Microsoft Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or your online Help.
Note You can save the PAB file in any folder on the destination computer as long as you remember the location.
How to configure your second computer to use the new PAB file
If you do not have the Personal Address Book service in your e-mail profile on the second computer, you must add the service before
you can add the new PAB file to your profile. To add the Personal Address Book service for the new PAB file, follow these steps:
Start Outlook.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Under Directory, click Add a new directory or address book, and then click Next.
Click Additional Address Books, and then click Next.
In the Additional Address Book Types box, click Personal Address Book, and then click Next.
In the Path box, type the path of the PAB file that you copied to the second computer in step 4 in the "How to copy the PAB file to a second computer" section
of this article. Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the PAB file.
Click OK.
If you receive the The E-mail account you have just added will not be start until you choose Exit from the file menu, and then restart Outlook prompt, click OK.
On the File menu, click Exit, and then restart Outlook. Your new PAB is now available.
If you have the Personal Address Book service in your e-mail profile on the second computer, you can change the service to use the
new PAB file. To change an existing Personal Address Book service to use the new PAB file, follow these steps:
On the second computer, start Outlook.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Under Directory, click View or change existing directories or Address Books, and then click Next.
In the Outlook processes e-mail for these accounts in the following order list, click Personal Address Book, and
then click Change.
On the Personal Address Book tab, type the path of the PAB file that you copied to the second computer in step 4 in the "How to copy the PAB file to a second
computer" section of this article. Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the PAB file.
Click the PAB file, click OK, and then click Finish.
On the File menu, click Exit.
Quit and then restart Outlook. Your new PAB is now available.
Note There can be only one Personal Address Book service per e-mail profile. There is not a method for merging
one PAB file with another. You can use the Outlook Import and Export Wizard to merge the active PAB entries in your Contacts folder.
Additionally, you can add both recipients and distribution lists to contacts that are in the Personal Address Book interface in
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.
For more information about the Outlook Import and Export Wizard, click Microsoft
Office Outlook Help on the Help menu,
type Outlook Import and Export Wizard in
the Search for box
in the Assistance pane, and then click Start searching to

Use your back up on your mac/PC and re-add your contacts to Address Book or whatever contact software you use.

Copy my notes and contacts from my itouch to my ipad

How do I copy my notes and contacts from my Itouch to my Ipad2?

You could sync both devices with iCloud, however there has been mixed results with iCloud deleting stuff.
You can plug your touch into your comptuer, sync them via itunes, then use itunes to put it onto your ipad.
You can e-mail them from the touch to an account you can open on the ipad...which is a bit tedious cause it happens one at a time.

You can't access your iCloud backup from your PC. You'll have to export your contacts from icloud as a vCard, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606, which can be imported to Google then exported as a CSV file that can be imported to your PC.

Hi Ingo 2711,
Thank you for your suggestion. I backup on itunes. I went to itunes, deleted syncing my contacts, then re-synced them. But the Facetime capability option continues to be there on most (not all, for some curious reason) of my contacts. I am not sure I posed my question correctly. I want to be able to FT with my family, so don't want to delete the FT capability totally from my iphone and ipad. But I don't want all these other iphone calls from various contacts to ring on my ipad as FT calls. I want a way to select with whom I have FT capabilities. Any further suggestions? Thanks much, trekpal

How can i restore my contact from icloud to iphone4g???

how can i restore my contect icloud to iphone4g??? help me pls..,

Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If they are gone, then they are gone (must have done something wrong doing an upgrade or whatever).
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers. So performing a restore will not help.

How do i sync my contacts from icloud to my new pc ?!

my laptop is not working anymore so i bought a new one , my contacts on my iphone are synced , but only on icloud,
anyway to sync these contacts from icloud or download them to my new laptop !?
I have windows 7

Why would you downgrade your OS? That is neither supported by Apple or recommended by them, and is no doubt the cause of the problems you are now having.
To sync with iCloud requires iOS 5.
Update to the OS that iCloud supports and you will be able to do what you want, exactly as Apple recommends.

How to download photo and songs from iCloud to laptop (windows 7)

Hi,
how do I download photos and songs from icloud to Windows 7.I opend control panel and checked box regards photos then I gave apply but I didn't see any photos in my icloud photos location which is present in my laptop.

There's a long discussion on photo stream issues with PCs here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5356710?start=180&tstart=0 you can look through. Various solutions are offered that work for some people. Perhaps you'll find one that works for you.
Also, photo stream photos do not use your iCloud storage at all, so deleting them will not reduce you storage. If you need to reduce your iCloud storage, there are some suggestion for how to do this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.
