HT201272 why doesn't the iCloud backup my Apps?

I have been backing up my iPhone via iCloud, but my Apps are not backed up.  Now I have lost all the recent games I've played and all the money I've spent adding things to games.

Icloud contains all of your purchases that are still available in the itunes store:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Why doesn't the Southwest Airlines DING app work on my iPhone or iPad?  It used to work on my mac computer, but no more.  Are they shutting it down, or just not issuing many special fares? 

    Ask Southwest Airlines... it's their app.

  • Why doesn't the Android Adobe reader app respond to fillable fields in a secure document?

    The document's forms are fillable on any other computer. The document does not allow printing or editing but has been allowed fillable forms. The Adobe reader app for Android does not recognize the forms. How can this be fixed?

    If the form was created with LiveCycle Designer, it will not work on a tablet or iPax.

  • HT5058 Why does the iCloud backup/restore save contacts from Exchange or CardDAV?

    We push MDM configurations to iOS users which include e-mail, contact, and calendar setups for the user to use. What we don't want is the user to have the ability to keep these on their phone if we do a remote wipe and don't activate/enroll their device in our MDM solution again. E-mail isn't touched on the iCloud backup so a restore doesn't put it back on, but contacts and calendar are backed up as part of the iCloud backup despite coming from the MDM configuration. This means our company data can reside on their personal backups.
    Is there a way to stop this from happening?

    iTunes only keeps one normal backup per iOS device, most likely because an iOS device backup can be 6GB's or more in size. Given the fact that many users sync daily, their hard drives would quickly fill up, with mostly useless iOS device backups, if iTunes kept a separate backup each time you synced.
    As for contacts, they are designed to be synced with a supported contact application on your computer or a cloud service. Relying solely on an iPhone backup as the sole depository of this data invites disaster. Had you been syncing your contacts, as designed, you wouldn't be in this boat.

  • Can someone at Apple explain why when resetting iOS devices the documents from iWork simply disappear from the iCloud backup? After resetting my iPad, icloud deleted my documents!

    I did backup my documents in icloud, I checked in www.icloud.com and they were there, and I was thinking that I was safe to reset my iPad now and restore from the icloud backup, but when I'm setting up my iPad again......... BOOM! where are the Pages documents? They are not in my iPad (since I just wiped the iPad) and not anymore on icloud.

    Have you guys resolved this issue?  I started having the same problem after updating to iOS 7.  Keynote and Pages does not save to iCloud.  The little arrow on the upper right hand corner never goes away.  I create a document on iPad and it doesn't show up on my iPhone or vice versa. Please help!

  • I recently updated my Iphone 5s to ios8 from ios7(.something) and lost all photos, text messages, etc. and then restored it using an old Icloud backup from 2014. I want to change the Icloud backup to one from this year.

    Is it possible to do this, and how? My iphone 5s is still restoring currently in the Backup settings and there's an option that says "Stop restoring Iphone" if I tap it, it says "any data that has not been downloaded will not be restored or backed up in the future"... AND I KNOW that if I update my iphone from ios7 to ios8 that it is a big jump and is the reason why I lost everything on it. So please don't tell me that is the answer to my question, because it's not. I am clearly asking if I can change the icloud backup date from 2014 to one from this year. This is because my iphone asked me which backup I want to use to restore my stuff from after the ios8 update. I hope this question isn't too confusing!!

    Might be a better idea to look for more current threads that this one which is over a year old.

  • Why doesn't the screen respond in bottom part

    why doesn't the screen respond in bottom part

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If they fail to resolve the issue, this would tend to indicate a hardware issue.

  • HT4623 My new iPad mini won't install the update 7.0.6 until it has finished restoring from the iCloud backup.  What do I do to make the restoration complete? I have been using the mini for about a month.

    I have downloaded iOS 7.0.6 but it will not install until the ipad is finished restoring from the Icloud backup.  I've been using the mini for about a month, so why is it not completely restored?  How do I make the restore process finish?

    When and where was the iPad/charger purchased? It's covered by a 1-year warranty.
    The problem may be the USB cable.

  • Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

    Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • What happens if I click "delete backup" in order to delete the iCloud backups from my sisters phone off my device. Will it delete everything on her phone?

    So a while ago when I got my phone I started a new Apple ID account/ iCloud.. Then when my sister got a new iphone I gave her my id to use too. In settings-general-usage it says that my storage is almost full. I then click on manage storage and it shows my phone and my sisters phone and how many gb or whatever. Also it says "last backup failed" and other stuff that's Irrelevant. Now when I click on my sisters phone I have an option to "delete backup" MY QUESTION is if I click the delete backup button will it just delete the iCloud backup off my phone OR will it totally delete everything involving the backup off my sisters phone forever??? Please help! Thank you so much!!!!!

    Deleting a backup deletes the backup only from the iCloud storage, not anything on the iPhone.
    The iPhone's iCloud backup will be updated at some point - automatically when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network while connected to a power source unless the iCloud backup is turned off on the iPhone.

  • How do I get rid of the iCloud Backup alert message?  I cannot do anything with my iPad and cannot get rid of the alert. I have plugged in the iPad with Wifi on, but it won't reset.  Thanks

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why doesn't the iPad have a guest screen like the PC for extra security?

    I just want to start off first by saying I just purchased my iPad about six months ago and I'm really enjoying it,but if you're like me,I believe in protecting my privacy.
    I don't like to turn down any of friends or coworkers when I'm asked to use my iPad,but when you have such things as your personal pictures,movies,music,business documents,etc...you'd like to keep them from prying eyes. I thought that with the new iOS 7 update,that issue would've been fixed, but I was wrong. I'm hoping Apple would correct this problem with the next iOS update,it would make a lot of loyal Apple consumers & anyone who's new to purchasing the iPad for the first time very happy to know that feature is available.
    Why doesn't the iPad offer a guest screen?

  • Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

    I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
    Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
    Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
    It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
    I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
    It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
    Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.  

    Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience.  I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion.  I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
    First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file?  You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.
