  • HT4859 How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

    How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

    You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone.  If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
    In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

  • HT4759 How do you delete previous icloud accounts on a used ipad?

    How do you delete iclouds from an ipad purchase second hand. An error appears and says to many iclouds are associate to the device.

    Unfortunately they can't be deleted.  If you are getting a message saying that the maximum number of free accounts have already been used, all you can do is re-use one of the accounts previously set up, or create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac (using OS X 10.7.2 or later), if you have one (or have a friend that does and would allow you to do this on their device).

  • HT4859 How do I recover from Icloud - I want to "roll back" my phone to the 3rd of October

    How do I recover from Icloud - I want to "roll back" my phone to the 3rd of October

    If your device backs up to iCloud, and that would happen every day assuming "conditions" are right, then you probably only have the latest backup available for a restore. You won't have one taken October 3 available.
    I say "latest backup available" because, although Apple mentions up to 3 backups are available for restore, most users report having only one when they try performing a restore. Certainly expecting going back 5 days would be outside the limits.

  • HT1338 how do you delete from the start up disk- message keeps saying ful

    How do you delete files off of the start up disk to make more space?

    You open a Finder window, navigate to the location with files you want to delete.  In the window, drag the file you want to delete to the Trash (waste basket) icon in the Dock, and release it there.  Periodically, click-hold (or right click) on the Trash icon and select Empty Trash, which will delete the files to free up the disk space.  (You can select more than one file at once.)
    A good place to initially look is your Downloads folder, which normally has a quick link in the sidebar of a Finder window.  Most people tend to accumulate stuff they don't need to keep there.

I had already set up an account on my phone using my account name @ mobileme.com. The account with mobileme was set up using account [email protected] Now when I sign in th icloud using my account name @me.com it tells me that this is not my primary account. Please help me figure this out. Thanks,

  • HT4859 how to get pictures from icloud when Iphone is stolen

    how to pictures and music from Icloud when phone is stolen

    Photo stream photos can only be access from another iOS device or computer signed into your iCloud account with photo stream enabled.  Camera roll photos (and videos) are contained in the iPhone backup, assuming you have one.  If you backed up to your computer using iTunes, you can extract the photos from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor.  If you backed up to iCloud, your these photos can only be accessed by restoring the backup to another iOS device.
    Music isn't included in the backup; it should be in your iTunes library.  Music purchased from iTunes can be redownloaded again for free (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519), but music from other sources, if not in your iTunes library, cannot be recovered.

  • How do you delete an iCloud movie to clear space on your computer?

    My computer says that the storage disk is almost full, and when I looked at my storage information it says I have too many movies.  So I went back into iTunes and I try to delete my movies (which are all under iCloud) and they aren't removed from my computer nor does space clear on my computer.

    Content in iCloud is not on your computer.
    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.
