I got a new iphone and saved my photos from the old phone on icloud. I entered my info on the new phone, but the pictures have been loading for days on my new phone and nothing is happening. Please help!!

I have over 900 photos for three years that I am unable to access. Is there a way to get photos from Icloud to my computer without using my phone as well??

Hello lynxfan12,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you say that you saved your photos to iCloud, are you referring to doing an iCloud backup? If you are attempting to recover from an iCloud backup over Wi-Fi, the process can take a long time to complete.
The restore process is taking a long time to finish.
The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process might take 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete.
If you're traveling between countries, the restore process might take longer than usual. iCloud is tuned to provide the best service when you're in the geographical location from which you most frequently connect to the Internet. When restoring from an iCloud backup, iCloud is tuned to provide the best service in the geographical region you were in when you created the backup.
If you need help restoring an iCloud backup

Take care,

"Preparing iPhone for restore"since last 2 hr.s nothing really happening please help

"Preparing iPhone for restore but nothings happening Could anyone please help?

I appear to have managed to fix the issue through googling the error code (rather than ignoring it this time), and figured I'd add the solution here for anybody in the future.
I simply moved my cable connecting my pc and iPhone to a USB port in the back of my computer rather than using the ones in the front and the process kicked off almost instantly without any further issues.

My apps wont open and i keep downloading new apps, hard resetting, syncing and nothing works! PLEASE HELP

Then restore the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My iphone 4 is telling me I have to restore but when I plug in and connect to itunes, it freezes about 30-50 % through the process. Now I can't use my phone at all? I am waiting about 1-3 hours for this process to finish and nothing ever happens. HELP!!

Put it into DFU mode - hold the sleep/wake button and home button until the screen goes black (ignoring the slide to turn off slider). When the screen goes black release the sleep/wake button but hold the home button. Continue holding the home button for 10 seconds, then release it. The screen should stay black. Plug it into iTunes and it should come up with this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. It must be restored before use", that's when it is successfully in DFU mode. Now press the restore button in iTunes and it should run smoothly :)

I recently backed up my iPhone using iCloud and now can not get my camera roll onto my new iPhone or my Mac. Did I lose all the photos from my old phone?

1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad.

I have Windows 8 and Itunes 11.1.2. When I click on the Itunes desktop shortcut, Itunes won't open. I just the icon go to the taskbar and nothing more. Please help.

Delete the shortcut and make a new one. The 'real' application will probably be fine if you launch it from the Start/Programs menu.

Hi Hannah,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below will walk you through restoring the iPhone from a previous iCloud or iTunes backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Restore from an iCloud backup
If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your iOS device to resolve an issue, follow these steps.
Follow the initial steps in the iOS Setup Assistant (select your language, and so on).
Select Restore from iCloud Backup when the assistant asks you to set up your iPhone (or other iOS device).
Select the backup you created earlier.
You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.
If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.
Use iTunes
Restore from a backup
If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.

HT4859 restored my iphone 5 from iCloud back up. All my photos from my old phone are missing. How do I get them back?

I recently got my iPhone 5 replaced. Before erasing the contents on my old iPhone 5 I backed up to iCloud. When I restored all my photos from my old phone are missing. How do I recover?

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
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 - and then moved into permanent albums for storage. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. 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".

How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?

How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)? I can sync with iTunes but it doesn't copy these songs back, even though they still appear in my iTunes library. I can click on the Music link under 'On My Device' in iTunes and the missing songs all appear to still be on the device, but they are not. I normally delete using iTunes and do not have this issue. This time I was out and needed more space to shoot photos and videos so I removed a lot of music from my phone through the Music App.

The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC. These we had loaded into iTunes. I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine. The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync. I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again. 64GB (mostly music) will take a while.

HT3819 I purchased music from Itunes on a PC several years ago. I am unable to locate my sounds in the ITunes library. Where did my purchased songs go???????? Can I transfer my purchased songs from the PC to my MAC or iPod Shuffle??????? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks. If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?! I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped. Have any clue what I should do now?

Try another outlet to make sure that isn't the issue. If it still doesn't work you will need to replace your charger.
