ICloud Back Up?

I had a iphone 4 with a cracked screen, Backed it up to icloud before heading to Apple store for a new one, Contacts was turned on for the back up to Icloud, After purchasing the replacement I restored from the icloud back up but all my contacts are missing, it only loaded one contact and that was for the other phone on my same Verizon account. Long story short mt contacts did not reload on the new Iphone.
Please help.

When you turned Contacts to On, that was for syncing your contacts with your iCloud account, not for backing them up. Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and see if your contacts are still there. If they are, go to Settings>iCloud on your replacement phone, sign into your iCloud account and turn Contacts to On. If prompted, choose Merge. If you contacts are still in your iCloud account this should return them to your phone.

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

I restored my iPhone 5 to IOS 7.1 on computer and tried to restore from icloud back up. It says "restore completed" but Apple logo keeps popping up every 5 seconds. It restored only contacts and sms. I can access the phone but have to stop if logo pops

Hello khanhlinh98,
I would recommend performing the following steps in order to stabilize your iPhone.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

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...

HT5262 How long should the icloud back up take?

How long should the iCloud back up take? I only have 4gb of storage but it has taken almost an hour already with approximately 2 hours remaining.

Hi RMaskery14,
If you are concerned about the time your iCloud backup is taking, you may find the following article helpful:
My backup is taking a long time to finish.
Backing up and restoring takes time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your backup and the speed of your network, you may need more time than expected to complete the process. Using a reliable connection when backing up your device is highly recommended.
