HT5824 I've lost my iphone, it has iCloud back up, how can I get the data restored and on to my laptop without a new iphone

I've lost my iPhone and have not got the finances to buy a new one, investigating insurance options but only 6 months left on contract so may not bother, however I want to get all my info off iCloud but can't work out how to get it, I'm not very computer savvy to be honest.

You can only restore the backup to another iOS device.  Also, Apple will delete an iCloud backup after 180 days of inactivity so it won't be there forever.

  • Lost all of my data on iphone and have no cloud back up how can i get my data back

    lost all of my data on iphone and have no cloud back up how can i get my data back

    iOS devices do backup automatically to iCloud providing:
    iCloud Backup is turned on
    It has a Wi-Fi connection
    It is connected to a power source
    The screen is off
    5GB is plenty of storage for me to backup to iCloud automatically.
    I have a 64GB iPhone & a 128GB iPad both backing up to the same iCloud account and I still have nearly 2GB free.
    This is mainly because media is not backed up and Photo Stream & iTunes purchases do not count against your iCloud storage.
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries.

  • HT1848 how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?

    how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?

    The only supported method to get media onto an iDevice is via iTunes.  Read the User's Guide it will describe how to do this in detail.
    iCloud does not put media on the device, but using iTunes Match and iCloud it is possible to have access to all media that exists on your computer, but only when the device has Internet access.  It will not load media onto the device.
    Use of 3rd party tools to transfer files to the device is not supported.

  • I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

    This is one of the most basic of functions of the iPhone.  This is a good time for you to read the User Guide.  All the instructions on how to operate yor phone are included.  I suggest you read through it.

  • I lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    i lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
    PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
    There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
    DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
    I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.

  • My computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library?

    my computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone 3g is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library without losing everything? How do I delete old audiobooks from my iphone?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • HT1414 i backed up tha data on my iphone before i unlocked and restored as "new." how can i get the data back onto my iphone?i backed up tha data on my iphone before i unlocked and restored as "new." how can i get the data back onto my iphone?

    Hi,
    I wanted to unlock my at&t iphone 3gs that i had for 3  years.  i was told to back up the data on my phone and then restore it as new.  now i don't have any data i had before it was restored. how can i get that data back onto my iphone 3gs?  can i put that data on my ipad?

    Is it an iTunes backup or an iCloud backup? If iTunes, connect the iPhone, right click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes. Click on Restore from Backup.
    If iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When the device powers back on, you will see the original setup screens you saw when your iPhone was fresh out of the box. One of these screen asks you if you want to restore. Choose Restore from iCloud backup.

    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

  • HT1766 After restoring yesterdays icloud back up one of my Apps has lost all its data.  How can I get the data back as its important to me.

    I accidentally added a passcode to my ipad mini after yesterdays IOS7 update.   I then promptly forgot the passcode (I think apple secretly changed it really).
    Its taken me 2.5hours to figure out how to reset my ipad after discovering there was no other way of getting into my ipad around the passcode.
    Luckily my ipad backs up every evening to icloud so i had a new back up sat waiting for me.
    Annoyingly, itunes wouldnt let me restore the factory settings as the "find my phone" thing was switched on.  The only way to turn it off appeared to be via my ipad which I was unable to get into.
    I eventually figured out how to restore it without this problem, by pressing the home button as I turned it on and then getting itunes to recognise it as a new ipad and restoring its settings that way.
    Following this it was relatively simple to restore my icloud back up.
    Everything appears to be here, my calander, my contacts etc.  All my apps have been restored and Im yet to find any app that has missing data except for one (naturally the one that is most important to me).
    This one app appears to have been returned to my ipad but it no longer has any data attached to it.  I have lost everything.  Payment info, Client info etc.
    Is there any way of recovering the data.  I presume its floating around the ether somewhere given I automatically back up to icloud every night.
    Cheers

    There's one other variable, although it shouldn't really come in to play but worth checking anyway.  Is it possible that the backup was made using a higher version of iOS than the one you are running now?  For example, if you were running the iOS 7 beta, then restored to version 6.1.3, the backup would not be listed as you cannot restore to a backup made on a device running a higher version of iOS.  If that's the case, you would have to update to the same or higher version of iOS in order to access your backup.
    Also, you can redownload apps and certain other purchased media (in most countries) as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

  • ICloud shows 'no devices' even though my iPhone has the FindMyPhone app installed and is logged into the iCloud account.  How can I get the phone to show up?

    My phone signs in OK with iCloud, and iCloud syncs the calendar etc. OK, but FindMyPhone app does not work.  It is iinstalled and logs in to iCloud OK, but iCloud shows 'no devices'.  I've uninstalled/reinstalled several times with no change.  The phone is connected to the internet, FindMyPhone is turned on, and location services is turned on.  What else can I do to get iCloud to find this phone???

    Your phone should automatically re-appear in "Find my iPhone" when it next connects to the internet. There's nothing you can do to force it.
    So, from that support document you've confirmed that none of the following are true:
    The date on your device is incorrect. This can be set in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Your iOS device is currently off or not connected to a data network (Edge, 3G or Wi-Fi).  Wait a few minutes and try again.
    Your iPad (Wi-Fi only), iPod Touch, or Mac is currently off or not connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    Location Services is not enabled on your device in Settings.
    You are located in a country where Apple does not offer this feature. This feature may not be available in all countries due to technical limitations or local law.
    Have you tried the age old troubleshooting tip of turning the phone off and then on again?

  • HT4623 Iphone 3g has no update setting how can i get ios5 for icloud

    I have no update setting on my iphone3g.  i received an ipad for Xmas. Need to update phone to ios5 to use icloud. Can and how do I do this? I'm a senior trying to figure this stuff out. I admit, I'm out of my realm. Any easy tutorials?

    Iphone 3g can only go as high as 4.2.1, if you are on 3.0.1, then connect to itunes and click on check for updates, then update. To go any higher than ios 4.2.1 you will have to get a newer phone.
    And if your wanting to use icloud on your phone to sync with your ipad, then again, you will have to buy at least an iphone 4 or above to get ios 5.0.

  • My number pad on my aluminum keyboard has stopped responding. How can I get the response back?

    Once I press a number key on the pad, the rest of the keyboard also fails to respond, especially when I'm in Chrome on the internet. I'm wondering if it has to do with the browser, too, since once I force quit and go to Safari, the cursor works--but not the keypad, unfortunately.Now, even the numbers on the keyboard don't work.  Any help out there?
    Thanks.
    Joanne

    Found the answer in Apple Support: the Mouse key was turned on in Universal access. Once I turned it off, I got the use of the keyboard back.
    Oops; nope, that didn't work as I expected, either. The keypad works in some spaces but not in all; for example, when I try to enter numbers to change information in my profile, numbers won't type. But they do in other spaces.
