HT4436 how can I find previously backed up info on the icloud

I accidentally erased a phone number on my iPhone and am trying to recover it - anybody have any ideas out there??? Please :)

If you erased a phone number from the Contacts that connect to icloud, then you won't be able to get that back from an icloud backup - Contacts, as well as the other Apple data like Calendars are not part of a backup, since they are already in the Contacts database on icloud.  If the contacts are/were also on your computer, then you can get back the contacts file from a restore of the backup of the computer you keep.  On a mac, look in Time Machine to do a restore.

  • When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Where can I find my backed up photos on the iphone?

    Where can I find my backed up photos on the computer.  Do I use iTunes or do I use iCloud?

    Hey luvtns,
    Thanks for the question. Your Camera Roll photos are definitely backed up, whether you chose to back up with iCloud or iTunes. To restore your backed up photos, you'll want to restore the entire backup. See the following article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content

  • I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can I find out what is running in the background and running my batterie down

    How can I find out what is running in the background

    Hi simpbarby,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The links below will help you understand what apps are running on your iPhone.  You can quit the ones that you aren't using.
    iOS: Understanding multitasking
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
    This link will provides tips to conserving battery life:
    Apple - Batteries - iPhone
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    Optimize Your Settings
    Depending on how they are set, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 7.0 or later.
    Enable Wi-Fi: Having Wi-Fi enabled helps consume less power when doing activities that access data. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and log in to a Wi-Fi network.
    Adjust brightness: Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life. Turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust based on lighting conditions.
    Fetch new data less frequently: The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch data manually: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually.
    Turn off push notifications: Apps with Push Notification alert you of new data, which may impact battery life. To disable, go to Settings > Notifications, choose the app you want to disable, and do the following:
    Change Alert Style to None.
    Turn Badge App Icon off.
    Turn Sounds off.
    Note: New data will be received when you open the app.
    Minimize use of location services: Apps that actively use location services, such as Maps, may reduce battery life. You can see which applications have recently used location services by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
    Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, which may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turn on Airplane Mode to increase battery life in these situations.
    Viewing Usage StatisticsKnowing and understanding your iPhone usage can help you better manage your battery life. To view your iPhone usage statistics, go to Settings > General > Usage. Under “Time since last full charge”:
    Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. iPhone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
    Standby: Amount of time iPhone has been powered on since its last full charge, including the time the phone has been asleep.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • How can I undo a back up that combined the contact info from 2 different phones

    how can I undo a back up that combined the contact info from 2 different phones.

    Once you merge contacts with iCloud or any back up for that matter, it will be merged until you go through and decifer which contacts you would like to keep.
    Was it an iCloud backup?

  • I updated my Ipad to IOS 5 but now my Ipad is blank. I backed up to Itunes but can't find my back up info.

    I updated my Ipad to IOS 5 but now my Ipad is blank. I backed up to Itunes but can't find my back up info.

    Yes, there are two utilities that I use to perform this task, SuperCrazyAwesome’s iPhone Backup Extractor which is a free utility, and addPod’s Juice Phone, also free.  Neither solution will work if you have encrypted your backup files. Both allow you to access the backed up data as if the iPhone was connected to your Mac.

  • How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

    How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
    I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

    You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics).  iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream.  If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup.  You would have to restore from the backup.  But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason. 
    What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.

  • HT4436 How can I find my IPhone4S

    HOW CAN I FIND MY IPHONE4S

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
    If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

  • TS4036 I have had to do a factory reset on my ipad3,when i restored via i.cloud not all my apps were restored how can i get them back,they show on the back up list on my ipad in icloud,any help is appreciated thanx,   Andrew

    I took my Ipad to my local Apple store as it would not d`load or update apps. They factory restored it,on icloud backup restore not all my apps were restored including some i`d paid for, they show up on my list of appsin icloud, how can i get them back? any help very welcome, thanx...Andrew

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I can't tell for sure if the photos on my iphone were successfully backed up in the icloud.  How can I find out what is stored in my icloud account?

    I activated the icloud backup on my iphone 4s and bought an extra 10gb of space.  I clicked backup to icloud now to backup my trip photos.  I want to be able to erase the photos on my phone because I'm at max capacity and I have another week to go on my trip.  Based on the number of gb available before my attempt to do the backup and the much smaller gbs available now, I guess that the photos were backed up.  How can I confirm that?  Is there an icloud website I can log into to see exactly what has been backed up?  I do not have access to my home computer so I don't think that I can access my itunes account, and even if I could I'm not sure that would tell me anything.  Thanks for any insights you can give me.
      Framois

    You can go to icloud.com from your computer to see what data is in the account (other than photo stream photos and your iCloud backup), but you won't know what data may have been accessed by someone else.  If you're concerned, change your password as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5624.  After changing your iCloud ID password, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new password.
    When you delete the account it only deletes the account and your synced data from your device, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will be synced back when you sign back in.  Save you photo stream photos before deleting the account (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll)
