How can I restore data from iCloud

My iPad locked up last night and I had to restore to factory settings to make it operable. During the process it asked me if I wanted to restore my data and it told me that the latest and only backup was from a few minutes before that time which was AFTER all my stuff got wiped out. I was able to resync some apps and all my music from iTunes, but I lost a ton of pictures and other files that I thought were SUPPOSED to be safe on iCloud.
So I start reading about restoring data from iCloud and apparently Apple only does this on a NEW device. What a load of crap!
Does anyone have any idea how I can get my data from the stupid iCloud to my stupid iPad?

The "Apple data" such as contacts, calendars, notes, etc. are not backed up to an iCloud backup, since they reside in the special databases on iCloud. If you delete some data from a device (e.g. one contact), it is deleted from that device, from iCloud's database and thus from all other devices connected to that iCloud account.
Hence performing a restore from an iCloud backup will not help.
However, if that data was ever on a computer (assuming the computer also synced data from iCloud) and if you consistently perform backups using something like Time Machine on a mac or any number of backup programs on Windows, then you should be able to restore the data from that backup. For example, on a mac, invoke the contacts app then choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine icon on the main toolbar. That will allow you to go back in time and choose an older backup to restore.
If you have an iTunes backup on the computer, I'm not really sure that also includes the Apple data stored on iCloud. It should have the local data. For example, Contacts can be under "iCloud" or "On My Mac" (or whatever computer you use). An iTunes restore should restore the data on your computer.
The whole idea regarding an iCloud backup is that if your device ever fails and must be replaced or reset, the backup will restore all the data as it was at the time of the last backup. The restore will return all the device's settings such as iCloud login, on/off states of data to connect to (like contacts). Once that's done, the device will connect to iCloud and download the current data.
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. 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".

Can i erase data from my cd with cd burner?

hi everyone
i am using msi cd writer ,i wrote data on it with help of burner but now i want it to use as audio cd instead of data cd can i erase this data ?and use the cd as audio cd?

CD-R can only be written once.
CDRW can be erased and rewritten.
You can "hide" data on a CDR, but you cannot reclaim the space.
Imagine your CDR as a sheet of paper and your burner as a pen. You can write on the paper. You can also cross what you wrote, making it unreadable. However, you cannot reclaim the used space.
So, if you are using CDRs, the answer is no, you cannot rewritte in a different format on it.
If you are using CDRW, yes.

How can I download data from icloud using my windows desktop since I lost my ipad

Can anyone help to show me how to download all the backup I've done in iCloud. I'm force to do this since my iPad was stolen a few days ago.

You can't view or download an iCloud backup using a PC.
When you set up a new iOS device, you will be asked if you want to restore from an iCloud backup.

How do I restore data from icloud to iphone

how can i restore data from icloud to iphone

You mean an iCloud backup? If so, first make sure your phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the device that backed up was running. If it isn't, you'll have to update it first in order to restore the backup.
Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex

If lost Ipad is wiped, can new Ipad recover data from iCloud

I lost my Ipad while traveling a couple of days ago. I have it password protected and have 'find my lost ipad' active on it but it hasn't shown up yet.
I reported it but probably don't have any chance of recovering it. If I select 'Erase Ipad' in find my lost ipad to protect my personal information, when I buy a new Ipad will I still be able to recover my exising data from iCloud ?
Thanks for the help.

You should. Erasing the wayward iPad will not delete the back up you have in iCloud, not should it delete iCloud synched items like your contacts and iwork documents.

I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on. its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4

"I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on? its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4"
Pls help m out.
thanks

Connect the iPad to a charger, let it charge for half an hour, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.
If that does not work, start iTunes on your computer, connect the USB end of the cable, then press and hold the power button on the iPad and connect the other end of the cable. Hold the power button for three seconds, and while continuing to hold it, press and hold the home button. Continue to hold both buttons for ten seconds and then release the power button but continue to hold the home button for another twenty seconds.
When you release the home button, iTunes should now see the iPad and allow you to restore it.

no.
the backup is only for the purpose if you need to wipe the device.

My iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?

my iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?

If your backup is in iCloud, and your new iPhone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go throught the setup screens on the iPhone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. (If it isn't set up yet, just choose this option when setting it up.)
Be sure your iPhone it connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

Restore data from iCloud without resetting?

Let me get this straight. If I want to restore data from iCloud, then I will need to reset everything before I can do that? I have some photos that I need to restore, I can not do this in mac (asking for aperture or iphoto, which I refuse to buy, as Apple tries to nickel & dime). If this is correct, then this is the dumbest idea, and iCloud qualifies to be the worst thing in the history of computers ever!

I have a MacBook Pro. I connect my iPad to the Mac with the USB cable and launch Image Capture. My iPad appears under the Devices heading with the option to import all of the photos - or any combination of them - to any folder on my Mac that I choose.
Did you try connecting the iPad to your Mac and launch Image Capture?
iCloud and iTunes both create full backups of the data and photos that are on your iOS device. The backups are to be used in emergency or troubleshooting situations. These backups are not like having external storage where you can selectively restore content. If your iPad software were to go bad and you needed to restore it, you could restore from the current backup in order to get all of the files and app data back onto the device.
Backups are not the same thing as storage drives where you can drag files onto and off of the drive.
