HT4859 How do I retrieve my pictures from iCloud?

I've recently lost my iTouch, and I want to retrieve all of my pictures.
All of my pictures had been updated onto iCloud regularly.
How do I download them back?

Photos are not really stored on icloud, but they can be configured to be included in a backup to icloud. If you had turned on backups to icloud and included photos from the camera roll (these are the only photos that are included in a backup), then you need to restore your device. Since you lost your iTouch, you must use some other device to restore from the icloud backup. You won't be able to do that from a computer - but then again, it's always recommended that you sync photos to a computer for archiving, so hopefully you have them there.
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

If you're asking how to restore from your iCloud backup, this has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

My phone was stolen, how do I retrieve my pictures from iCloud?

I just finished a 3 week trip in Europe and on the very last day my phone (a 4S) was stolen. It contained all my photos from the trip. It's very unlikely that I will get the phone back, so I am hoping that there's a way to retrieve my photos. The phone was backing up to iCloud (I think), so theoretically everything would be on there.
How can I retrieve my photos? Is there a way to do it from my Macbook? Do I need to wait until I buy a new phone and somehow sync them onto there? Or are they gone forever?
Any help would be very appreciated, I had some extremely important photos on there of my late sister that I don't have anywhere else.

Make sure you are logged into iCloud on your Mac and Photo Stream is on:
System Preferences > iCloud
Open iPhoto > Preferences > Photo Stream > Enable My Photo Stream (and Shared Photo STream too if you want)
Now in the Side Bar There will be a Web section with Photo Stream in it.
Photo Steam only holds photos on the server for 30 days so you will only be able to retieve the last moinths worth of photos. Hopefully you have transfered the rest to your computer.
If you do not have iPhoto let me know.

HT4859 How do i retrieve deleted notes from icloud backup?

I accidentally deleted some notes on my ihone notes app and need to retreive them, can anyone help?

You can try restoring the backup to your phone. This may recover your notes if they were on your phone when you last backed up.
Restoring to an iCloud backup requires you to first erase the phone. If you have any more recent data on it that is not contained in the backup, you'll need to save that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Be sure it's connected to your wifi and your charger as this may take a while to finish.

HT4859 how do i retrieve my photos from iCloud

Having had our Mac Air stolen I know want to retrieve all my photos in my iCloud, how is the best way to do this?

Your only choice is to perform a restore from an icloud backup. However...
Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream - and then moved into permanent albums for storage. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

Try restoring the backup again. Sometimes it's successful the second time. You could also try restoring an older backup. iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

If you backed up your other phone to iCloud, you can restore the new one to the backup, which should recover your photos as well as other data and settings. You are given the option to restore to your iCloud backup when you first set up a new phone (see image below). If you already set up your new phone, you'll have to erase it, then go back through the setup again to access this option.
To do this, tap Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Then follow the on-screen setup again, choose Restore from iCloud Backup when given the option, then select the backup from your old phone to restore from. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as restoring an iCloud backup can take a while to finish.

How do I retrieve my pictures from my old phone.

I upgraded my phone from the Rogue to the Vortex and the reseller said they transferred all my contacts. After I got home I discovered that my pictures were not transferred. How do I get the pictures from my old phone to either my new phone or at least my computer or the Verizon online picture album since it wasn't done beforehand?

Does the Rogue have a micro SD card? The easiest way (IMO) is to move all the pics onto the card. The phone does not need to be activated to do this.
Then insert the card to your computer and copy all the information to the computer. From this point, you can reformat the card for the Vortex and move or copy the pics back so you can use them on the Vortex. If you don't need them all, you can just leave them on the computer.
To send them to the online album, the phone would need to be activated. It does not need to be activated to transfer the pics to an SD card and then to your computer.
HTH,

How can I retrieve my photos from my old iPhone to d new one via iCloud

Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Photos are not listed separately when you examine your iCloud backup, is the 8.3 GB file that you are referring to your backup file in iCloud.

Need help getting my pictures from ICloud I already signed I to my new phone but I can't see them on my phone

There are a lot of misconceptions about Apple's iCloud-based Photo Stream service. Allan Sampson's advice is the best place to start to resolve your issue.
I recently wrote an article on my blog that serves as an overview of Photo Stream. I created based on a startling conversation I had with a co-worker who routinely deleted photos from their phone believing that iCloud was a limitless backup service. Ouch!

Best of luck finding a solution.

HT4859 how do i restore documents lost from iCloud?

how do i restore documents lost from iCloud?

Documents do not get lost, they do get deleted. If you deleted - you need to look for local back up.
If you "lost" you need to check if they still in the cloud at icloud.com
