I want to restore the data on iCloud
Hello!
I accidentally deleted all the contacts with iCloud, and they have gone on all my devices!
Help restore Contacts!
Thanks in advance!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

I have an Iphone 3GS. My calender data is gone on my IPhone but it is still backed up in ICloud. I can't locate in Apple.com or Icloud how to restore it to my IPhone.
Check to see if your calendars are available from iCloud.com by signing in with your Apple ID & password from a web browser on your computer.
If so, on your phone, go to: Settings > iCloud > turn off Calendars > delete from phone if prompted (to prevent the possibility of duplicates) > wait for it to finish then turn it back on. This will force a repush from iCloud.com. -
My phone was stolen but I am pretty sure it was recently 'backed up' to the cloud when I updated the software how can I find out ?
I got no idea how you can lose iTunes account. Your purchases will be there as long as it's still available.
There is no transfer purchases option in iPad. You can transfer purchases when you connect to computer iTunes where you usually sync. -

How can I restore the data from a single application in icloud?
Here is my situation. My iPad2 is constantly crashing. Whenever I use an app it runs for about 30 seconds and then the screen blinks black and I go back to my my home screen. At first I erased all the data and settings and tried to restore my backup from icloud. When I did this, it started crashing again right away. Then I erased all the data and reset it to run as a new ipad. In doing this, I redownloaded all my apps and everything is working fine. However, I have about a years worth of data in NoteShelf (note taking app) that is on icloud but that I cannot access. How can I just restore the data from that one app?

Unfortunately you cannot selectively restore from a backup, it's either all or nothing. -

I want to restore my data after my pad was reset, but the latest backup was 5 months back. What can I do?
There is nothing that you can do. If you don't have a more recent backup, you can't magically create a current backup now. You can use the 5 month old backup, or simply start all over again. You can download most of your purchased content again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to make the purchases.

Can I view contacts backed up to the iCloud from my old iPhone without actually restoring the data on a new device?
If you have a backup, yes, You can restore the new device from the old backup. Without a backup, no.
Without a backup, and without the device, you no longer have any of your data to put on anything anymore.
You can redownload purchased content from the iTunes and App stores - just use the same AppleID as you did with the old device. -

Is there a way to restore the data of a single app instead of my whole previous device from iCloud?
Just as the title says, is there a method to do so?
I have an account in a game that was stored on my previous device which is linked to the device, now that I have a new device I have to start fresh. I would like to recover the data for that 1 account, but don't want to restore the rest of the things I had backed up.
I updated to iOS7 from a previous version that I forget.Welcome to the Apple Community.

Back from where?
You choose to not copy them off to a computer as they are designed to be.
If they are no longer showing in iCloud, they are gone. -
My iPhone 5s is stolen and I want to restore iPhone photos from iCloud. I have use iCloud to backup the iPhone photos. Is there any way to restore my photos from iCloud to mac?
The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos. Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them. Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.
