How to stop icloud sync/log in after restore from back up

I recently lost my contacts and when i restored from back up they reappeared, however they synced with my icloud automatically, erasing my wanted contacts with old ones. So when i restored from back up and then set-up my phone, there's just an infinite loop occuring as icloud continously deletes the contacts from the back up with the contcats stored in icloud
How do i stop this from happening?
Thanks

  • IMessage won't work/isn't up-to-date on iPhone 6 after restore from back-up

    So I have been trying to set up my new iPhone 6 since Tuesday and I am at my wit's end. I have been an Apple user for years and am usually good at fixing issues myself.
    BACKGROUND: With my iPhone 5, I was having an issue with bookmarks not syncing "Bookmarks could not by synced because the iPhone cancelled the sync" starting shortly after I updated to iOS 7.  I had incorrectly assumed the issue would be corrected with a subsequent update, but that never happened.
    iPhone 6:
    When I first set it up, I did from the last back-up from my iPhone 5, however it somehow did not complete.  I initially thought I'd lost my 2700 pictures that were on the 5 as only 500 showed in the 'Recently Added', however iPhoto (on MacBook Pro) detected all 2700 on the phone even though they weren't showing, so I successfully imported them from the 6.  When I went to sync the 6, it gave me the same bookmark error.  I tried turning off hard sync and syncing through iCloud but nothing happened (I have never synced from iCloud as when I first tried to set it up after it was created, it created duplicates of ALL of my information and I just never had the time to mess with it.  I figure if the hard back-up works, that's all I need.
    That being said, I did NOT intend on having a brand new phone with the same error, so I did a FULL RESTORE and set it up as a NEW IPHONE.  Everything worked seemlessly including my iMessage, however it did not have any of my old messages or recent calls which I thought was strange if that information is associated to my Mac/iTunes account.  I thought the Game Center would have saved most of my info from my games, but when I saw I didn't have any of my info from my Lists app, games, and other settings and passwords, I decided I would try a different way.
    So I removed unnecessary apps with no info, photos, and music from my 5, synced and backed it up, updated to iOS 8, backed THAT up, and then did a RESTORE FROM BACK-UP on the new iPhone 6 from that latest back-up.  Despite that, I have discovered that the messages and recent call list that DO appear on the phone only go through MARCH of this year... I am so confused as to how the most recent back-up would have only backed up info from March... My games data is up-to-date.
    I THOUGHT everything was working with the exception of STILL having the same BOOKMARK SYNC ERROR, but I just discovered that my testing/iMessage does not work at all.  I go to send a message, and it just shows the blue bar loaded 3/4 of the way, and never delivers the message.  My boyfriend confirmed that he cannot send me messages either, which makes no sense because the phone was set up under the same phone number and emails as my iPhone 5 was.  I really don't have the time and/or patience to go into Apple, but after spending ALL day yesterday trying to re-set up the phone thinking everything worked, I am quite exasperated.  I have been using Apple products all my life, and I have NEVER had this much trouble.
    I never had any significant software issues until iOS 7, and the fact that they are still ongoing is quite ridiculous.  It's getting harder and harder to defend Apple and their quality products if they don't kick it into high gear and fix these glitches! 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
    P.S. I did some reading on how iBackUpBot is supposed to fix the bookmark syncing issue, but it seems a bit technical.  Perhaps clearer instructions would be helpful.

    Well, right now, Apple is getting loads of people who are trying to download the new update. My iPod is doing the same thing, so, just wait an hour or two and then try again. It may take a while to veryify the update, and even longer to actually download it. Some people at my school updated their OS in study hall, while others were having the same problem you were. It should be fixed soon, just relax...

  • How to stop icloud sync mailsettings?

    After some investigation to why some active rules in Apple mail were missing, I discovered these settings are synced through iCloud (with the mac I use at my job). I found my private signatures and mailfilters at the office, and thought it to be an accident with my iPhone charging at work. I deleted them over there (no need to sign with my private home-adress and phone-number).
    I only use iCloud to sync documents (iCloud mail etc.. is turned off) I need to work on or read at home, so I don't like e.g. my mailfilters or signatures to be synced between my private computer and the computer which technically is owned by my boss.  I had issues with iCloud before syncing not the way I like, and that's why I only use the documents-setting.
    Before I painstakingly set everything back to how it was, I would like to make sure I can sync iCloud documents, but avoid the settings from mail to be synced.
    Some suggestions, or should I revert to using an USB stick or another cloud-based document storage?
    Kind regards,
    Martin

  • How to recover lost video files after restoring from back up

    I recently had to restore my ipad completely one day in order to update it and I was in a rush. So I took my iPad before I could restore it from a back up. So I set up the iPad as a "new" iPad and just started using it. I bought iMovie with my iTunes account on the "new" iPad and started filming from the iPad for a school project. So I edited the footage in iMovie and had a finished project. Then I went home that night and decided to just upload my most recent back up from my old iPad. In doing so I lost ALL my footage. iMovie still has everything in the correct place and says that my project is just missing some files. Is there ANYWAY I can get this footage back? Isn't it still on the iPad somewhere? Please someone help me out!

    If their on your iTunes on your computer, try plugging in your iPod and dragging the files from the iTunes Library on your computer to the library on your iPod.  Hope it helps(:

  • Missing information after restored from back up

    I had an iPhone 4 traded it in, prior to trading it in I synced it via the cloud but not to my computer.  When I got my phone from Sprint they started the restore process for me and said that it could take a little while but if I was missing any information after about a day or so to come back and they could help.  Well after waiting a couple days and calling numerous times to sprint I gave up and went back into the store.  Unfortunaly, some how my old phone was wiped before I came back.  I then called 1-800-MYAPPLE for help, COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL!  To shorten this story up, my new phone shows that I have 2.5 GB of data stored in the cloud and my new phone only has 35MB, I have all my contacts, all of my calendar info, half my notes, half my pics, none of my videos, and none of my reminders.  The new phone has iOS 6.1.2 and I believe the old phone had iOS 6.1.1.  How do I get the remaing info from my old phone?!  I don't care if I have to download it to a computer or my phone it doesn't have to be on my new phone.  Someone please help! 

    Thanks for the help!  I didn't realize that photo stream doesn't back up videos and it deletes pics after 30 days.  I did what you said and I did get my settings back and some apps I had lost and my music.  So that's better than nothing!  Thanks for the help!!

  • How often does iCloud sync ?.

    How often does iCloud sync my devices ??

    Your Mac's address book, on the front page - was the address you added inside a group that is listed in the general category "iCloud" or "On my mac" ?  If the latter, then that doesn't sync to iCloud.    If iCloud, you might try a small editing change to the entry, like erase last letter of last name, get out of address book, go back in and put the last letter back in.  That should force a sync.

  • 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 have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work

    I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work. i really dont want to lose these photos but i am very unsure of what to do to resolve. can anyone please help?
    thank you

    If you had Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone, photos in the Camera Roll should have been transferred to your photo steam automatically when the iPhone was connected to an available wi-fi network.
    Your photo stream is not available when logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on a computer.
    Why were the photos in the Camera Roll deleted?
    Photos/videos in the camera roll are included with your iPhones backup. If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the photos were deleted from the camera roll, you can try restoring your iPhone from the backup.

  • HT1414 I can not sync my iPhone after restoring it - my computer only gives me the restore (again and again and again) option.  I have no music and only a few aps now on my iPhone.  Any tips before I go to the genius bar?

    If you restored as new, without using a backup, and still only get an option to restore, there is a hardware problem or the phone was previously hacked (jailbroken, downgraded iOS, unauthorized unlock).  Your only option is to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

  • 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.

    Download iTunes 11 from the Apple site and reinstall. The error message was quite plain in telling you what to do to resolve the error.

  • Where can I find un-recovered photos after restoring from Icloud

    Where can I find un-recovered photos after restoring from Icloud?

    They would only be stored in your backup.  If they didn't restore properly all you can do is try restoring the backup again.

    It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
    There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.
