ICloud backup for iPhone missing

i recently had trouble with the battery on my iphone 4s i took it instore. They advised me to do an icloud backup then totally wipe the phone and leave it like that for a week. I did as instructed and the problem was still there so under warranty was given a new phone. When i have come to restore from my iCloud backup it is not there, however there are backups from today, yesterday and Monday. Does anyone know if i have lost this completely? i have tried downloading the new software on the new iphone and still no joy.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Music isn't backed up.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.

  • My new iphone 6 plus has been restoring from iCloud backup for days.  I do not have all my apps or music yet

    my new iphone 6 plus has been restoring from iCloud backup for days.  I do not have all my apps or music yet.  How do I fix it?

    Hello Bernharp, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like your iPhone 6 Plus is taking a long time to restore from an iCloud backup. I can understand why you'd be concerned after several days of waiting. 
    This might happen if your backup contains a lot of content such as pictures or your Wi-Fi connection isn't consistent.
    If the restore still hasn't completed, take a look at the information in the "Restoring my device from an iCloud backup is taking a long time" and "A message says restore incomplete or some items could not be restored" sections of this Support article:
    If you need help restoring from an iCloud backup - Apple Support

  • HT201269 i want to transfer itune contacts backup for iphone 4 to new iphone

    i want to transfer itune contacts backup for iphone 4 to new iphone

    You can follow the instructions in the page you linked from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109 to transfer everything from your old phone to your new one. If you only want to transfer contacts and you still have your old phone (or if the contacts are already on your computer) you could sync the contacts as described in: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12317
    Also, if you still have the old phone you could sync them via iCloud without using a computer: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • 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
    Mr.Riwa

    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.

  • Mu ipad was stolen today and i want to view icloud backup for today. Can i do this?

    My ipad was stolen today.  It is not showing up on iCloud.  Can i view iCloud backup for today?   If so how?

    Try resetting the Winsock key.  You will have to locate Command Prompt in Windows 8 (in Windows 7 its in Start>All Programs>Accessories), then right-click on it and choose Run as Administrator.**  Once in command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" (without the quotes) and press Enter.  Then restart your PC and see if you can sign in now.
    ** I saw in another post that to run Command Prompt as an administrator in Windows 8 you do the following:
    Go to the Start menu
    Press the Windows logo key + Z to open the app commands.
    Press Enter to select 'All apps'.
    Use the arrow keys to navigate to the 'Command Prompt' tile.
    Press the Application key to bring up the app commands.
    Use the arrow keys to navigate to 'Run as administrator' and press Enter. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • HT4436 IS ICLOUD FREE FOR IPHONE?

    IS ICLOUD FREE FOR IPHONE?

    iCloud is free and includes 5 GBs of free storage. More storage can be purchased.

  • We have one iPhone3s w the lates ios6. have selected iCloud backup for photos but do not see any photos when I log on to iCloud

    we have one iPhone3gs w the lates ios6. have selected iCloud backup for photos but do not see any photos when I log on to iCloud. How can I get all my photos from the iPhone3GS to iCloud?

    You can't see inside a backup file on icloud, thus you can't view your photos at icloud.com.

    Your question isn't at all clear. Is this a second-hand phone which has been locked by the previous user?  In that case only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If you unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all.
    You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.
    You should not post serial numbers or any other personal data here; I've asked the Hosts to remove it.

  • Locked on "iCloud Backup: This iPhone hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. . ."

    I get the alert, "iCloud Backup: This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." and cannot do anything to get past it. I have done as directed - still nothing.

    got the answer from other discussion

  • If i delete my backup for iphone  from my mac can i returne it back

    No, not unless you have a backup for the important data on your Mac stored on an external drive or some other external media that includes the iPhone's backup.

  • [solved] missing latest backups for iPhone after getting replacement phone

    Thought I would share this one in case anyone else runs into it.
    My the speaker on my wife's iPhone 4 on Verizon had stopped working for phone calls for the second time and a restore didn't fix it, so she returned the phone and they gave her a new one at the store. We had made several backups over the last few days, the most recent was this morning.
    So tonight we hooked up the new phone to iTunes and got ready to restore it, but iTunes said the restore was last updated in FEBRUARY. What?! My wife freaked out thinking all her photos etc. were now lost for good.
    I held off on the restore and decided to do some checking around before doing anything. I found the folder where the restore files are, and sure enough I found files from today. I copied that folder just in case. I also checked in iTunes itself and the backups were listed. So what was up?!
    It finally occured to me that we had recently upgraded her phone to iOS 5, but that the new iPhone 4 from the store was probably still on iOS 4 -- maybe iTunes was not smart enough to see this situation and tell us about it, and maybe it won't listed iOS 5 backups for an iOS 4 phone.
    Well that turned out to be the case. But what to do to fix it? I figured if I could get iOS 5 onto the phone, we would be all set. But I didn't want to tell iTunes to label it as a new phone either -- I'm not sure if that would be permanent or what. So I took a leap of faith and held down the power button and home button simultaneously for a while, past the power off notification, until the phone prompted to be connected to iTunes to be restored.
    Then I plugged it back into the computer (this is Windows 7, by the way). Sure enough iTunes said it detected a phone in recovery mode, and would I like to have iTunes restore it to factory settings and put on the latest iOS? I sure would, so I did that and waited...
    After that was done, iTunes wanted me to active the phone with Verizon. We had already done that an hour earlier over the phone, but tried it anyway, and it failed. We ignored that failure and went into the phone in iTunes -- it now asked if it was a new phone or if we should restore it -- and the backup from this morning was listed. Phew!
    Finally completed the restore. I noticed that all of the passwords for all apps were lost -- unlike with a normal restore/backup on the same phone -- but everything else (pcitures, apps, etc.) was there. Thank goodness!
    So, if you have upgraded the iOS version and have to replace your phone and the nreplacement has an older iOS verison, then that may explain why your backups appear to be missing...

    Yes, I tried. But nothing is working. I am feeling bad as such a costly phone stop working in 1.4 year ?
    I am just sharing my experience.
    I am not ranting but yes angry as I am eligible for upgrade in Nov 2012 so don't want to pay $149 for replacement as I can upgrade to iPhone 5.
    Apple expert please help me how can I fix it. It's completely software issue.

  • Can I delete my iCloud backup for my iPhone 5 used to install on my IPhone 6? I think it is interfering with my new phone

    I try to delete my my texts and they restore. I think it's due to my iPhone 5 backup

    Yes you could delete backups without loosing anything on your device, but iCloud storage has nothing to do with your local device capacity. I guess that your device is just full and that you have to delete something like apps, movies etc to free up some space for other content.
    iCloud uses its storage only for
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    purchases of apps, music, videos do not count against your iCloud storage capacity ( but please see also iCloud backup and restore overview http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859).

  • Iphone 6 been restoring from icloud backup for 9 days and still not finished?

    I got my iPhone 6 on the 19th when it came out.  It's an ATT 128 gb model.  I started restoring from icloud backup on that Friday (9 days ago).  It still is saying it's restoring from backup. Daily it's asking me to delete the data or keep downloading.  This phone is for my business, so the info is very important.  I am also worried that all the things in the last week have yet to be backed up since then, because I can't back it up till the restore is complete. I also can't do the new software update 8.0.2.  I am on a fast WIFI nearly 18+ hours a day and I can surf the net just fine, but why is my restore from 9 days ago still not finished?

    Apple:
    This needs to get improved. I had the exact same issue migrating my 5 and wife's 5S previously. It's never worked well. We need status bars, and indications of what has been copied, what remains to be copied, and ways to resume it and pause it without hoping it works and getting messages in the morning asking if you want to resume it, making you wonder if anything actually occurred overnight. The message doesn't pop up within 10 minutes of connecting to power and wi-fi so I have no idea how long it actually takes to come up.
    It's unacceptable to think any device owner wants to roll the dice and hope they have all their data. We use these devices for our jobs and that data is critical for some of us. It's not all just pictures of the dog! Even though those are critical, too!! It would be different if this wasn't a known issue and the resolution wasn't so easy...get this fixed!!!

  • Do I need to turn on iCloud backup for auto sharing between my iPad and iPhone, example photos, reminder, notes, contacts, etc

    When I turn off iCloud backup then I think my iPad, and iPhone stop sharing contacts and reminder phone stream etc, so do I need iCloud backup to be turned on

    No. Backing up to iCloud is entirely separate from syncing data with iCloud to your other devices.  Backing up to iCoud is entirely optional and turning it off shouldn't effect your iCloud syncing in any way.

  • Why is my iCloud backup for photos 3.3 Gbs but I only have 12 photos in my camera roll?

    After purchasing my iPhone 4S I performed a restore from backup that I had from my iPhone 4 (running iOS 4.3.5). Prior to doing this restore, I did not realize that my photos were not being synchronized from my iOS device and saved in that backup. So, the hundreds of photos I had on my iPhone 4 were lost in the transfer to my 4S; but then I noticed something odd. Upon closer inspection of my iCloud backup, my storage usage says my camera roll is taking up 3.3 Gbs of my backup! When I did the backup, I had only taken about 12 pictures on my 4S, there was absolutely no way those photos were taking up 3.3 Gbs of space. I was hoping that after synchronizing with iCloud that I would see all my old photos slowly pour in from the Photo Stream; but to no avail.
    Is it possible that my iPhone 4 photos were in fact carried with that restore from backup, but are not showing up in my camera roll? If so, how do I retrieve my photos? So many lost memories!

    That's odd. I can't imagine what else would take up so much space.
    Have you any other Apps that have downloaded data
    ..  appdata and settings of apps, "preferences", saved games "levels reached" , and downlaoded stuff that are stored within an app ", for example videodownloading app that has stored content in the iOS are uploaded ..
    Apps themself /Books/Music/etc are not uploaded to your personal cloud, they are held back by Apple in the store for future re-downloading options. So this can't also be the culprit.
