HT4859 what get's backed up by icloud?

will angry birds get backed up by icloud?, i have already had to restart them once and i would rather not have to again

The iCloud backup includes:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
It includes app data so if you included angry birds in your backup it will include your game progress. You can check to see if it's included by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of you device under Backups, then under Backup options tap Show All Apps and see if angry birds is listed set to On.

HT4847 how do i view what i have backed up on icloud

How Do I view what I have backed up on icloud?

Stop repeatedly posting this misinformation. The data viewed at www.icloud.com is not the contents of an iCloud backup.
Please learn the difference between iCloud backup and sync, before answering questions with wrong information.

I bought a song today and ALL of my music disappeared... How do i get it back? Does icloud restore it?

I bought a soong today from itunes. While the song was downloading, my phone blinked off. Came back on and finished downloading the song. Problem is now ALL of my other music is gone. Anyone know how to get it back? Does it correct itself after it backs up to the icloud tonite? Can I do a "back up now" to my icloud to retrieve it? Completely lost and frustrated... HELP!

A backup doesn't contain the contents of the Music app (nor the Videos app). Have you tried closing the Music app via the phone's multitasking bar and seeing if the music shows when you re-open the app ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Music app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't work then if the music was purchased from iTunes, then depending upon what country that you are in (and if the music is still in your country's store) then you might be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone. Or have you been connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over - if you have then you can sync them back.

Waited a week to restore new iPhone.. Went to concert and took videos, then restored my iPhone. I didn't think I would lose everything from before I restored it.. Anyone know how to get that back?? iCloud didn't back it up..

so I got a new iPhone and I had went to a concert and took a bunch of pics and videos, even met the band.. Well I went home and when I plugged in my phone it had restored it back to what was on my previous iPhone And I lost everything I just took.. Does anyone know how I can somehow get all that back?? iCloud didn't back it up I checked

The only way to get everything back is by restoring a backup. If you didn't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do to recover your lost documents and your notes. If you have a backup restore the backup in order to recover your data. Purchased apps can always be downloaded again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with, but data can only be recovered from a backup or if you have copies of the documents and notes on a computer.

TS4036 I can not find my photos or contacts. Help how do I get them back after a icloud back-up was done due to needed a new phone..

I cannot find my photos or contacts. Help how do I get them back after a iclound backup was done due to needed to get a new iphone. HELP

I believe I had leopard and I was having issues getting errors of system not being supported. I contacted Apple and was advised I needed to upgrade to snow leopard. My laptop is from 2009 and I haven't done anything to it till now. The apple rep also stated I should do a fresh install when putting snow leopard on so my laptop would run faster. Apple rep told me to get a external hard drive to put my info on it so the fresh install would reset everything to like it was brand new. I had someone help me with getting everything on the EHD.. doing the right format and such and then once that was done I put in the CD for snow leopard and hit install. Which brings me to now, with everything but my pictures. I have the EHD plugged in... now what? What do I do? I have looked in the EHD in iphoto and it was all standard images *not my pictures but images of a check mark or an arrow again not actual pictures. I don't see a folder pictures and i looked for images and found nothing. I have Applications, Included Free Designs, Library, System, User Guides and Information and Users, those are my options and non of those have a "pictures"
I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 & Mac OS X version 10.6.3

HT4859 Hi Can i back up on iCloud & iTunes on my laptop too ! ie both ?

Is it possible to back up on both iCloud & iTunes please guys !

I have switched back and forth between backing up on icloud and pc, but typically leave it on icloud backup. then once in a while, change it to backup using iTunes, then switch it back to icloud. Best of both worlds that way.

HT5262 What should I back up on iCloud?

I'm confused, what can I turn off that doesn't really need to be on my iCloud.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can backup the iPad on your computer instead of iCloud if you prefer. If you turn off iCloud backup, settings will still be synced between devices, the only difference is that the iPad won't backup on iCloud

HT204053 I recently replaced the hard drive on my Windows 7 computer and lost all of my music content. It should be on the iCloud, however. How can I get it back to iTunes? Can I "reverse-synch" and send it FROM my iPhone TO my computer?

I recently replaced the hard drive on my Windows 7 computer and in the process lost all my music. I think it should be on the iCoud. Can I get it back from the iCloud to my computer? Or can I "reverse-synch" FROM my iPhone TO iTunes?

All the music you purchased from iTunes can be re-downloaded, all the music you acquired without purchasing from iTunes can be accessed using Senuti (not free). The combination of these 2 will get your music back.

Once I push Back up now button I can see the content is backing up on iCloud but even after 10 hours of exercise the content on iPad are not backed up

To back up my content on iPad, I go to cloud notification and then backup & storage> backup now.
After connected to Wi-Fi network and power plugged I give backup now command and iPad content seems to me getting backed up but even after 10 hours of exercise I fail to get content backed up on iCloud
Why so? Am I missing some step to initiate backup now process?
Please educate me or inform me how to fix this problem

I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

What are the options other than iCloud for a "full" iPone backup?

With iCloud you have limited options to increase the size of the capacity for backups:
5gb - Free
20gb - .99/month
200gb - 3.99/month
500gb - 9.99/moth
1TB - 19.99/month
With such a big gap between 20gb and 200gb, I am looking for feedback on other cloud options other than iCloud that will backup everything on my new iPhone 6.
Thank you

Managing the backup of your phone starts with knowing what is backed up, what is NOT, backed up and how to manage your data/phone content.
What is NOT backed up to icloud:
Apps, music, and any other iTunes purchase.
What IS backed up to icloud:
your personal information, settings and data
if you open settings, icloud, storage, manage storage, show all apps.
this shows your app data amounts in decending order. You can turn off backup for any app that doesn't need iCloud backup. For example, I use Dropbox which auto uploads all my photo and video when I connect to home wifi, so I do not backup camera roll, so I turn the switch off. I do backup data from other apps, but not all of them.
I backup an iPad and iPod touch to the same iCloud account with the 5 free GBS and have not needed more than that.

How do i view photos backed up on icloud

I lost my phone and just got a new one. I am trying to backup with icloud however it is unable to find. Does this mean i didnt use the icloud feature properly and lost all my photos?

I am trying to backup with icloud however it is unable to find.
When you backup to iCloud, your Camera Roll will be saved as well.
Are you using the same AppleID as previously?
This document explains, what will be backed up in iCloud:
iCloud: Backup and restore overview
And this, how to backup and to restore from an iCloud backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Does the step 3 and "Show all backups" not show any backups?
Do you have been syncing with iTunes on a computer as well? Did you make a backup with iTunes?

Mac (with Mountain Lion) will not back up to iCloud (nor even before ML)...all settings correct, just no backup taking place

Even before the latest upgrade to Mountain Lion, I have never been able to get anything backed up to iCloud from my mac. Now, with the latest upgrade, I've gone back and checked all my settings via the System Prefs, enabled Icloud in mail, contacts, etc., etc., but still have no luck getting anything from my mac into the iCloud. All services are checked, but the full storage capacity is stil unused.
Additionally, I am unable to get Photostream enabled in Aperture. Everytime I click the "Turn on Photostream" button I get a "could not connect" message.
Thanks, in advance, for any help!

There aren't supposed to be any photos, bookmarks or documents at iCloud.com.
Do you actually have any email messages in your iCloud account within the mail application on your computer.
For contacts, first check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
For 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.

HT4759 How do I see what pictures I have in my iCloud

How do I see what pictures are backed up on iCloud so that I can print them

The only way to liberate photos synced from your computer to your phone is to use a 3rd party app like PhotoSync to transfer them over wifi. The app will transfer photos from any album to your computer, in whatever resolution they are on your phone. (Note: they are likely to be a somewhat lower resolution than the originals as they are "device optimized" when they were synced to your phone in the fist place.)
If your old phone no longer has access to the app store, you'll have to purchase the app using iTunes on your computer and sync it to your old phone.

HT4859 And what if my brother backs up in icloude but all his clander has been deleted and wants to get the event in the calender back , what should he do ?

And what if my brother backs up in icloude but all his clander has been deleted and wants to get the event in the calender back , what should he do ?

Assuming he has a backup that includes the data that has been deleted, then we should use that backup to restore his device.

TS4036 I am trying to restore my phone using iTunes back up and iCloud back up. Both won't let me do it. They said that it could not be completed. What can I do to get my phone restored?

I had to wipe my phone clean because of storage issues. It kept saying I didn't have enough storage for pics or apps, but I only had about 75 pics and 1 extra app. So, I backed up my iPhone on icloud and itunes, then cleared off my iphone using the steps in the settings. Then, when I am going back to restore my iPhone using iTunes back up and iCloud backup, it fails in both locations. It says it failed to be completed.
What now?

Thank you Terence for your help. I was able to restore my backup from my time machine ext drive to a new 1tb seagate ext drive. so i felt sort of ok. but yesterday that older ext drive i used for time machine wouldn't open! i called applecare and they trouble shooted with me and said it's probably a goner and data is probably corrupted. it's only a few years old and i'm very careful with it. my husband accidentally dropped my new drive last night -- i know, unbelievable, i was SO upset, poor guy -- but I'm so stressed with all of this. i have 10 years of photos and videos. so now i only have the one newer drive with a backup. i have to buy another one today to backup again so i at least have two backups. i tried to delete a ton of files last night to free up the 30 gb of space i need to get my full library back on my mac. i have 90gb free and deleted 7 years worth of photos i had on picasa that were in my "pictures" folder and also a ton or random photos and videos i had in that same pictures folder and thought that would give me the 30 gb but it hardly freed up any space at all! do you know why that is? all of this stuff is really a pain and really stressful. thank god i did have a backup in the first place but now i am panicked the one i have left will somehow crash. especially after my husband dropped the drive lastnight! it didn't fall far and fell onto a wood floor and seems fine, but after my older ext drive crashed yesterday -- and i lost my entire iphoto library a fewweeks ago off my mac -- i feel cursed. any answers you have would be great. thank you.
