ICloud back up question

Hello everybody,
this is my set up
1 Icloud account on 2 device
- Iphone 5
- Ipad
Problem: icloud free storage is running out of space
I checked the backup via preference in iphone and I see that the library picture was taking a lot of space
I deleted all the picture in my camera roll in Ipad and Iphone
I checked again the backup storage via preference in iphone and then I see that the camera roll it is still 914MB
This my questions:
- Why is it 914MB if I do not have any pictures on camera roll on both device?
Apple Says "Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or shared photo streams are not counted against your iCloud Storage"

Thanks,

Deleting your old backup won't do anything to the data on your phone.  It will only permanently delete the backup from your iCloud account, freeing up storage.

    Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
    so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new...

    I have my iCloud backed up to a college email account that is no longer active.  I can't access the password information to reset/change it!

    If you know the answers to your security questions for the account, you can reset the password without using email authentication by following the steps in the first section of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.  If you don't, you'll need to contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

  • How do I get contacts from iCloud back on my mac?

    How I got to this place is too long a story, but I ended up with a system iCloud dialogue box on my macbook pro, and the gist of the questions were Do you want to make it so if I quit iCloud my contacts (Notes, Reminders, etc) will no longer remain on your mac? I didn't want to do this, but it seemed it wasn't letting me proceed without hitting the highlighted agree button, so I did.
    I definitely want my contacts back on my Mac. How can I go about getting them from iCloud back onto my mac? I don't intend to quit iCloud, but I have years worth of contacts that I don't want to ever lose.
    Notes would be the next most important one to get back onto my mac. Reminders after that. Thanks much in advance for your help.
    Michael

    Hi Michael Gorsline1,
    I understand that you turned off iCloud on your Mac and subsequently lost all of your contacts, notes, and reminders. If your information, remains on iCloud.com, you can merge that information back onto your Mac by signing back into iCloud and selecting the services you would like to sync.

  • How to download my iCloud back up after upgrading to iOS 7

    Hi,
    So the background: Last week I dropped my iPhone 5 and the glass completely smashed. So I ended up having to fork out for a replacement iphone. The guy told me I would need to download the iOS 7 first, so to begin with I set up the phone as a new iphone. When I got home, I download iOS 7, which went fine, but the phone didnt give my the option to set up the phone from an icloud back up. So I guess my question is, how can I change this? I have an old back up on my laptop which I could use, but would rather use the back up I did from the phone?
    Any help would be much appreciated...

    On your replacement phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore the phone from your previous phone's iCloud backup.

  • HELP!! ex deleted icloud back up

    My ex has deleted my Icloud, mac mini, laptop, and all back up discs i had,,, is there any way to get my icloud back to retrieve some of my pictures???

    Depending which iClouds you speak of, Apple doesn't do a god job of it or explaining it, but dome iCloud stuff can be retrieved unto 30 days after deletion, but not the other iCloud!???
    From FoxFiith's post in a hidden section...
    Regarding the question in that post, depending on what they mean by "my iCloud" or if they were referring to the beta iCloud Photo Library, there may be some hope in the quote below from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.
    It's probably a long shot and I'll leave it to you if you want to reply to the OP.
    Wow, there's some nasty people out there. 

  • TS3992 Icloud backs up only 3 notes out of many. Can anyone instruct me how to cackup all notes?

    Icloud backs up only three notes out of many. Cab some body instruct me how to back up all notes? Thanks

    Doing further research on this problem it seems it may (???) be a DNS problem. I read this thread
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4547823&#4547823
    and as it suggests on one of the problematical iMac's I set the DNS server settings in System Preferences to use these DNS:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    The iMac in question now seems to be able to access most websites although it seems a fair bit slower than my Macbook Pro.
    All of the Macs on my network have (from what I can establish) been getting their DSN info from the Airport Extreme which has in turn been getting it from the Astoria Networks ADSL router.
    Although I appear to have found a temporary fix of some sort, what I don't understand is why, with 3 Macs which appear to have identical network settings, does my Macbook Pro have no problems accessing any websites whereas both of the iMacs can not unless I add these open DNS server addresses to System Preferences. It suggests to me there is some problem with either the ADSL router or the Airport Extreme handling or providing DNS for the 2 iMacs.
    I'm a total non techie stumbling around on these issues, in a world where ISP or Apple customer support is next to non-existent, so any thoughts / suggestions would be very much appreciated!

  • Camera Roll not restoring from iCloud back-up

    Due to an extremely large amount of "other" on my iPhone 5 I decided to reset / delete and restore from iCloud. Camera roll IS turned on in my cloud back-up, and I backed it up just before reset / delete phone.
    When I restore from iCloud back-up everything works perfectly except my camera roll reloading. It just continues to say 'Downloading" (with the little circle thing going round & round) with no change or progress. It never says "downloadng xx of xxx" or anything like that. The photo stream has restored with no problem.
    I hope I can restore the camera roll because it has videos that aren't saved anywhere else, but if not how the heck do I stop the "downloading..." at the bottom of the camera roll folder and get on with my life? Any help will be much appreciated.

    Actually I posted here only after trying ezjules suggestions  No luck.  Even stranger is that even after I "stopped restoring" my camera roll is acting the same,; still says Downloading at the bottom. Strange.. Here is a screen shot after I have stopped the restore in settings.

    When i try to delete my stolen 4s from the icloud back u list i get a message saying 'ths cannot be deleted at this time' . This is taking up 2.2gb of space. How can i delete the device? I have unregistered the device and sent a remote wipe message to the phone.

    You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
    Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.
    Apple Support number is

  • 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.

  • How do I transfer my iCloud back up from one apple id to the other?

    I bought and used my phone under my parents apple id, now that I've moved out I have created a new id under my name. How do I transfer all the backed up photots on my iCloud back up to my new account?

    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign in with other ID. To update apps purchased with the first account you will have to log into that account.
    - iTunes purchases are permanently locked to the account that purchased the.
    - There are also other items on the device that are associated with the account such as iCloud account and where you can be reached for Messages and FaceTime.

  • I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?

    I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?

    Use different Apple IDs for iMessage (and also FaceTime) to avoid getting each others text messages (and FaceTime calls).  One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  You can continue to shared the same ID for the iTunes store and other services.

  • How can i Restore Photo's from my previous Iphone 4s icloud back up!!!

    All in all i really would like my photos from my previous icloud back up restored some how,
    please write back people
    Thankyou Bradleigh

    You can't just restore the photos, you would have to restore the entire backup, then import the photos to your computer, then restore to your current backup to get your current data back.  This will be a somewhat lenghty process.
    If you want to do this, first back up your phone to iCloud as it is now (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Back Up Now).  When done, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Next go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below), choosing your old backup to restore from.
    After restoring, import the photos to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then Erase All Content and Settings again, go back through the setup screens again choosing Restore from iCloud Backup, and this time choose your current backup to restore from.  This will return the phone to its current state.  Finally, if you want the photos you recovered back on your phone, put them in a folder on your computer, then select the folder to sync to your phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.
