How to update phone to the latest iCloud backup??
Just got a new iPhone 5 to replace my old one. The new phone's software wasn't up to date so it couldn't process the latest iCloud backup. I'm now stuck with the iCloud backup from last year. I've updated the software now how do I update the iCloud backup?
Hey Lucy_love!
In order to get back to the screen where you will be able to choose the backup to apply to your phone, you will have to restore your phone according to the instructions in the following article:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

How do you agree to the latest iCloud Terms of Service if you don't have an iOS device only a Mac computer and an Apple TV with an iCloud account?
Part 2
Thanks for the feedback Skhorchid. Glad it worked for you too.
A bit later I discovered that Photo Stream was not working on my Windows 7 PC either. If I opened the iCloud control panel and put a check in the box to turn on Photo Stream, and then closed and reopened the control panel, the check mark was gone again. Also, nothing happened when I clicked on the options button beside the Photo Stream check box. I already had version 2 of the iCloud control panel so I could not upgrade further.
I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel, rebooting, downloading a fresh copy from Apple, and reinstalling it. This worked and I now have photo stream working on my Windows 7 system as well. -

TS4425 How can i do when the latest iCloud Terms & Condition does not pop up?
When I go to photo stream on my appletv, it says "unable to sign in The icloud terms of service have changed. For more info, go to http://www.apple.com/support/icloud".
I have tried this resolution on my iphone and ipad already:
On your iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud.
Note: Verify that this is the same Apple ID you are using on the Apple TV.
After a moment, the latest iCloud Terms & Conditions will load.
Unfortunately, it does not pop up the icloud terms and condition for me to accept.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks all~Caused by the Ask Toolbar extension in Firefox 3.6.13, disable that extension or un-install it.

Last night I took the plunge into iOS7-and all **** broke loose. Something definitely went wrong with the upload because all my photos didn't appear on my iphone once it had completed the update, although I was able to get that back through my iCloud photostream; my text messages where also eraced all the way back til june. This morning, however, upon clicking the notes app on my iphone, I was shocked to see it empty as well. And the version of my Notes on icloud.com is also empty.
When I plug in my phone and try to restore it from the latest iphone backup, which apparently was sept.20th (thus before i had installed iOS7), it doesn't give me the data that was actually on my phone on sept. 20th (because my photos and notes dissapear all over again). I have spent hours trying to figure this out and am so extremely frustrated with iOS7..I did that - turning off iCloud and then turning on again, and when I turned it off the two middle buttons reappeared, those for printing or emailing, and also for "trashing". They stayed even when I turned iCloud back on. But I still can only see today's notes, the forward and back buttons are still greyed out.
I had tried rebooting before asking the question, and it didn't help.
Going into iTunes, I don't see the app. for notes, nor is it in my iCloud account, which is odd as in my iPad settings I have set notes no sync. as well as bookmarks and reminders, neither of which appear in my iCloud site.
So I still can't find my old note. -
Please help ! Where is my current icloud backup ?? It shows backed up on my old iphone but not on my new one.

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day. We have several phones in our office and the ones that have updated (4) now have issue holding a charge/battery life. I really liked this phone and can not believe that you are now going to charge us $79 a battery to fix what is most definately a problem with your latest update. I know other people outside of our company that are having the same problem. Not to mention when I called AT&T it was confirmed to me that they are hearing the same issue and then some from other customers as well. Your own people, once I talked to them earlier today, told me they are showing a history of issues that are showing up after the update was put in place. Of course she tried to say, "Maybe the age of the battery and the update both contributed". Whatever.
I want you all to know how disappointed I am in your company for the handling of this issue. I always thought "Apple" was the line I didn't have to worry about having any types of issue. And that you all would stand behined your product 100%. Now I am not so sure.
I would love to hear back from your company on how you perceive the issue with all of these phones that prior to the update didn't have any issues and how after the update THEY ARE NOW having issues. I do not believe this was an issue due to the age of a battery and that was pretty lame to say so. It was fine and now its not.
Please feel free to contact me and help me figure out a way to pay for all of the batteries that will be needed for our company to contiue doing business as needed.
Thank you.

I have an older computer and can no longer update. After the latest Apple update I can no longer access my e-mail on my mac. I can view it on my iphone and on icloud. Is there a solution to this problem?
Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

I have a ipad mini 16GB and i was trying to update it to the latest version of ios7 but it went into recovery mode how do i get this recovery mode away without eraseing any data using a windows 8 computer?
Plug it into iTunes and restore it with your backup. You should have a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once. I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?
Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
In my city small claims is $5000.00
And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

Whenever I try to add music to Itunes, my computer locks up. This never happened until I update itunes to the latest version. How do I get around this?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too. -
My itunes on my PC keeps telling me I need to update my phone to the latest 10.6.3 and according to my phone I have no new updates. This is preventing me from downloading music from my itunes to my iphone. Please help!
It is not telling you to update your iphone, it is telling you that you need to update itunes on your computer.
