I had to restore my iphone 5 from an icloud backup; how can i get all my imessages back on my phone? why isnt it syncing from icloud?

I had to restore my iphone 5 from an icloud backup from a week ago. everything restored fine, but it only brought back my imessages up to the backup date (a week ago); but all the messages up to today are on my mac messages app on my macbook air; how can i get them all back on my phone? why isnt it syncing from icloud automatically if its still available on my mac? Thanks for any help!

iCloud doesn't sync iMessages.  They are sent from the iMessage server to your devices, not synced between devices.  I don't think you'll be able to get these messages back on your phone, but you should be receiving any new messages.

  • I lost all my music in itunes because i restored my iphone on a friends mac. How can i get my original itunes back?

    Anyone?

    As Ana says. Re-sync the music from YOUR computer.
    Music is not included in the iPhone backup. What would be the point. ALL of the music should already be in your iTunes library.

  • How can I get all my data back after erasing my iPad from find my iPhone?

    What happened is that I have 2 iPads . So I deleted the two from "find my iPhone" so  one already got deleted but the other one is still awaiting to get delete. What I want to know is that the one that is not deleted yet is using the same ID as the other one... So I have the one that got deleted and I had to put my ID again and all those stuffs and I wanted to get all my photos back but I couldn'. So the other one has the same ID but already did the backup therefore it's supossed to get all its inforMarion back with the ID but the other one has that ID so how can I get my data back and the one that already got deleted?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to know how to restore one iPad from the backup of another iPad. Take a look at the article linked below, it’ll walk you through the restore process which will prompt you to choose the backup that you would like to restore from.

  • My iphone is in recovery mode and i cannot restore it with itunes on my macbook or my pc. how can i restore my iphone 4s? or at least, how can i get it out of recovery mode?

    i tried to restore my iphone 4s because it kept saying "searching..." for service so i decided to restore it, after having already reset all network settings, and after trying to restore all settings. still, it only said "searching..." for service. finally, i tried to restore my iphone.  when using my macbook, 3/4 through i recieved a message to update my itunes software.  i had to close itunes for the update. when i closed itunes, the iphone restore was in pprogress and having to close the program put my phone into this "recovery mode" with the icon of the usb and the itunes disc logo. i also tried updating and restoring the software with my pc which also didnt work. help?

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

  • My NEW Iphone 4 'restored' to my 3rd generation Ipod touch. How can I get the old settings back?

    Please Help! I just got an IPhone 4 today from work and I wanted to 'sync' my IPod touch apps to the Iphone and it 'restored' to my OLD 3G Ipod Touch settings! How can I get it back to what it was when I received it from work? My work email account is completely GONE and it was already all set up when I recieved the phone. I am extremely worried that I won't be able to go back to what it was! PLease please tell me I can restore it back to how it was....with my email account all set up and everything. I would appreciate any help I can get...I just can't believe I did this!!! THANK YOU!

    Unless the device was backed up prior to restoring the backup from the iPod Touch, there is nothing to restore.
    Just set up the email account again... it's not difficult, but you may need information from your corporate IT dept to set it up.

  • I pressed"SYNC" and lost all the songs I downloaded from many cd's, how can I get all of them back? please help. I'm so frustrated!

    i pressed "SYNC" and lost all the songs from many cd's that I loaded to my library, how can I get them all back?

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

    Installing iTunes and signing in does not make your media magically appear on the computer.
    The media is only where you put it.
    To move the media from your old computer to your new computer, you need to copy the iTunes folder form your old computer (or the backup of your old computer) to the new computer.

  • IPhone backup corrupt, how do I get all my apps back?

    I used iTunes to upgrade my 3Gs from 4.0 to 4.01 today. As usual, iTunes made a backup first of my iPhone. The backup time was at 4:25pm.
    After the OS upgrade, iTunes attempted to restore my previous backup but then came up with a message like this:
    itunes could not restore the iphone because the backup session failed
    So my iPhone is at version 4.01 and its like a clean install with only default apps and all my settings are gone. Great.
    In iTunes I CAN see all of my apps in there. So I sync'ed my iPhone. First of all, this DELETED the backup I did at 4:25pm and replaced with a backup of my current setup (default apps, no settings). Fantastic. Now all my settings are gone for good. And the sync did NOT move my apps from iTunes onto my phone.
    So how do I get all my apps back onto my phone? They are clearly in iTunes. They all are listed as having me purchased them. Isn't there a way to Sync them to my phone? Sync'ing doesn't do it.
    And on my iPhone if I go into the App store and look at a app I've already purchased, it tries to get my to buy it again, even though I've already paid for it.
    HELP PLEASE. Stupid iTunes is a piece of garbage.

    So how do I get all my apps back onto my phone?
    Select the iPhone in iTunes.
    Click the Apps tab across the top.
    Tick the Apps you want onto the iPhone then right click the iPhone name - Sync device.\
    And on my iPhone if I go into the App store and look at a app I've already purchased, it tries to get my to buy it again, even though I've already paid for it.
    If you have already purchased it, when you click Buy, it will tell you that you have purchased it and ask if you want to download it again for free.
    I suggest you quit using it and save yourself all the aggravation of using garbage.
