HT4859 I have unwillingly synced my iPhone to my wife's iPhone. All her information got tranfered to my phone and over-rode all my contacts and data. How do I recover MY date that was backed up on iCloud yesterday?

This morning I ave unknowingly synced my iPhone to my wife's iPhone's data in iTunes. Now all HER information is on my is on my phone and all of my information has been overwritten. How do I recover my data and overwrite her data. My latest backup to iCloud was yesterday. I have not backed up my phone today and have turned off the auto back up feature, hoping I can still retreive yesterday's data. Can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You will need to restore your phone and when prompted use the backup that you made yesterday.
Before you do so, you may wish to change your wife's iCloud login details, otherwise you may find that you then overwrite her data. She should have her own iCloud account to avoid this.

TS4020 I had to buy a new iPhone, how do I retrieve my stuff that was backed up in my iCloud account? The guy at the apple store said it could take a few days iCloud was running real slow due to so many new accounts, is that true?

No problems backing up iCloud here.
Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
Switch iCloud Backup On

HT4859 how do you see the items that are backed up to iCloud - I have 4.5 GB that I have used but I cant find where to see those items...help

That is everything in your iCloud account. Videos and camera roll photos are only included in your backup, the size and content of which you can see on your phone in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage>tap the name of your device under Backup. This will show you the size of "Camera Roll", where these are contained. (You can't see any detail beyond that.) Photo stream photos can only been seen in your photo stream album on your phone, and they don't count against your storage so they aren't part of the 4.5 GB. Everything esle is either in the backup, the items listed in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, or on icloud.com, where you can see your contacts, calendars, etc.

You can't, i'm sorry. What you're running into is the activation lock and it requires that the original owner release it with their apple ID before you can set it up.

Hi Toniann,
If you have a recent iCloud backup that was done when that message was on the devcie, you can restore from that backup.
No, Apple does not keep your messages, no do they have access to them. That would be a serious invasion of privacy, don't you think?

How do I recover a folder that was accidently put in trash and deleted?

If you don't have Time Machine enabled on your Mac you'll need to use a file recovery applicaiton like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. FileSalvage had a demo mode to let you know what it can find and recover before you have to purchase it. However, it won't be able to recover the folder, only the files in the folder.
Other possible file recovery applications can be found at MacUpdate.com by searching there for "file recovery".

HT5824 i lost a note from my note pad that was backed up in icloud. how do i retrieve it?

how do i retrieve my backed up note pad info?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs. I have previously suggested ways to recover contacts, calendars etc, and other users have confirmed that they work, as such I am making the following suggestions to recover lost notes, but please note, as yet success is unconfirmed ***.
Recovering your notes is quite time consuming, you may wish not to save all your notes to save some time, if they are not of importance.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Open the 'Notes' app, and open your first note (assuming your deleted notes have now been restored).
Select the share option at the foot of the screen (rectangle with arrow) and choose mail.
Send the email to yourself (If they won't send, save them to draft)
Repeat steps 7 & 8, until you have copied all the notes you wish to save to email.
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and make sure 'Notes' syncing is enabled.
Open the 'Notes' app, check that iCloud notes have reverted to how they were before starting the restore.
Open the 'Mail' app and open the first email you sent yourself and copy the text you want in the note.
Open the 'Notes' app and create a new note in the iCloud, paste the text you copied.
Go to iCloud.com on a computer and check that the note has synced to iCloud.
Repeat steps 12, 13 & 14 until you have recovered all your notes.
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.
*** As a matter of protocol, anything that I can’t test myself will need to be confirmed by at least 5 individuals before I’m willing to accept it as confirmed. At this time only 2 individuals have confirmed it to work.

How do I upload my info that is backed up in iCloud to my new iPhone?

I am trying to find a way to upload all my saved info iCloud to my new iPhone.

When you go through the Setup Assistant it should ask you if you want to Restore from a backup and will let you select your Cloud backup.

HT4847 How do I view the pictures that are backed up in icloud? How do I know they are there before I delete them from one device?

How do I know for sure that my photos from my ipad , iphone and ipod are all stored in icloud. I want to delete from devices but be sure that I have all of my pictures saved and accessable. Thanks.

Unfortunately, you cannot view them and I would not recommend to only store your photos via iCloud, because iCloud will only do a backup of your device including the photos that you have currently stored in your Camera Roll. I would recommend to store them (manually or via Photo Stream) on Mac/PC or with another cloud storage service like Dropbox.

How do I find my stuff that are backed up on iCloud

I wanna know where my things go after there backed up on iCloud and how do I retrieve them?

They go to the cloud, you can't view the backup files.
In order to retrieve them you would need to restore your phone from your icloud backup.

How do you recover an ipod that was never connected to my computers?

I have an ipod which has a password but I don't know what it is (our company's assistant set it up and she is now gone...). We never connected it to a computer so the recovery process Apple suggest to do online won't work as it is locked. How can I proceed to restore it to factory default settings?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
or
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I backed up iPhone 4s to my iCloud. How can I access the music that was backed up?

I backed up my old iPhone 4s to my iCloud. This included 90 songs I would like to copy to my new iPhone 5s.
How can I do that without erasing or damaging or changing anything that is now installed on my new iPhone 5s?
These songs were mp3 songs that were copied to iTunes 3 years ago, not music bought from I-store.
They have been playing well on the 4s for years.

Your backup doesn't include music other than music purchased from the iTunes store. (You also can't selectively restore data from a backup; it's all or nothing.)
The other music should be in your iTunes library and can be synced to your 5s from there.
