I want to download my iCloud backup (from iPhone) to my Mac

Hi I got my iPhone stolen for the 2nd time in 3 Months now. And will definetly buy another one when I have cash again, for now I just try to life with a blackberry and an iPad mini. But I got the problem now that my iCloud storage reached its limit and I would like to delete my iPhone backup but keep it on my Computer for my next iPhone. I already read thrugh different forums that said its not possible but please someone tell me the magic trick!!!

Thats so stupid!!! Please Apple if you read this make this possible in the next iOS version at least!!! It would be simply great to have the possibility to store different versions of the backup via iTunes or what ever and make something like timemaschine possible on the iPhone, so that there is not just the most recent version of your backup availeble and also accesible via a mac or pc! So many people get there iPhone stolen every day its horrible!!!! Give them acces to there data at least!

My icloud backup from iphone 4 abnormal size. What is using that space?

My icloud backup from iphone 4 uses 2,9GB of data even with all backup of apps are set to off including camera roll. I have tried to delete the backup a few times to no awail as the new backup is as large as before. I have an Ipad that only uses 700mb approx same settings but with most of the apps syncing.
Both the phone and the ipad have some 300apps on them but since we arent syncing the actual apps i guess it doesnt matter.
Mail sync off
Contact sync on
Calendar sync on
Reminders sync on
Bookmarks sync on
Notes sync off
Photo stream on
Documents and data off
Find my iphone on
The above are the same for both phone and ipad and should not be affecting total backup size?
Best Regards

Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.
Alternatively, if you delete your existing iCloud back up and start the back up again, the next back up will be the same size as the phone tells you is needed to perform that back up.

Install iCloud backup from iPhone 4 6.1.3 to new iPhone 5 6.0.1 won't work.

I'm trying to install my icloud backup from my iPhone 4 os 6.1.3 to my new iPhone 5 os 6.0.1.
When I put in my iCloud info into my iPhone 5, it tells me that no backups are compatible with the iOS of the new phone.
What can I do to get the iCloud backup on my phone (the iTunes backup dates back to septembre 2012 so it's not an option).
Thank you!

Upgrade your iphone 5 to the newest IOS. Then you can restore using the iphone 4 backup.

Mail - I don´t want to download the whole history from Hotmail into my Mac

Hello,
I don´t know how to just use the Mail in my MacBookPro just as I do in my iphone. I have a Hotmail account with many e-mails that I keep. And I want them to stay there in the Hotmail server only. I don´t want to download them all into my Mac, for what?? But I would still like to use Mail for reading (specially new) Hotmail mails, and to send some when I use my Mac.
Thanks to anyone that could help on this!
Regards

Do you have Internet Security Software turned on in your Internet Explorer?
I turned mine off, as I have Norton AV. Go into Internet Explorer and check to see if you have that on and try turning that off...and then try to get back onto FF. You may have to restart your computer, I'm not sure, as I'm not a techie. I just know that the Internet Security Software clashed with my Norton AV.
Good luck!!!
Donna
PS Go with the user's suggestion above me, sounds the right way to go...thank God for the techies, eh? :)

I need to download an icloud backup (from 4 months ago) to my computer

lost ALL my photos and i'm hoping the icloud back up has the photostream photos. please guide me on how to download the back from my iphone 5 to my windows pc

Camera Roll photos in an iOS backup and Photo Stream are two different things. If your Photo Stream has the photos that you want to recover back to your PC, you can do that by installing "iCloud Control Panel" software, which will put your Photo Streams onto your PC.
But note that your main Photo Stream is temporary, so if there are important photos there then copy them out to a permanent folder on your computer. Also, get in the habit of transferring new iPhone photos to your computer on a regular basis, as you would any digital camera.

After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

You have two separate questions here...
To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

Unfortunately you can't restore an incomplete backup.

I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have. To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them). You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another. You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

Hi, I want to download my music library from my iPad to my IPhone via Bluetooth but can't get a connection between the devices??? Help please

Hi, I want to download my music library from my ipad2 to m iphone4 by Bluetooth but the devices won't connect. Both devices have Bluetooth turned on. Help please.

Can't sync them like that. Update both to iOS 5 and sync both with iTunes then set up iCloud. All new purchases will be automatically downloaded to both devices when you turn on automatic downloads in the settings.

Why when i want to download a free app from app store it asks for my apple id and when i give my apple id it then says "this apple id has not yet been used in the itunes store". i dont even know what that means and it will this happen everytime?

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

HT204406 i want to download all the songs from itunes match back to my pc. there are well over 2000 songs. instead of downloading one by one, is there a way to download all of them while I sleap?

I want to download all the songs from iTunes Match back to my PC (iTunes). Instead of downloading one by one, can I have all the songs downloaded back to my iTunes by one shot (while I sleap)?

I just found the answer by myself. Instead of clicking Cloud icon one by one, highlight all the songs in Cloud (after sorting by Cloud status) and riight click, download. Now I am getting all the songs back to my local machine. I will sync my iOS devices tomorrow and just GET RID OF iTUNES MATCH. To me, it was a disaster. Worse than their map app.

How can I restore my latest iCloud backup from my iPhone 4 to my new iPhone 5?

How can I use the my latest iCloud backup from my iPhone 4 to update all my apps on my new iPhone 5? I just registered it and it is a later version of the backup. Can I reboot it now that I have a more current backup from my iPhone 4?

Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have already set up your iPhone 5 you will have to erase it and go back through the setup again. If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you are restoring to you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

I don't want iCloud. How do I get iTunes to stop popping up the panel that asks me if I want to download the iCloud Control Panel? I'm using iTunes 11 on Windows Vista.

Why do you believe iTunes is causing this to occur?
What is the exact wording of the message?
I'm running iTunes on Windows 7 and never gotten that message.
