ICloud backup! Help / question

Hi Guys,
Wondering if somebody could solve a tricky query.
Basically want to know if this is possible:
I have read somewhere that icloud now holds safari history/cache data.
If an iPhone has been restored by a previous backup (by an older iphone device).
The iphone which was restored, IS NOT showing safari history of the previous device.
But could it somehow hold history/cache/cookie data behind the scenes??
ALSO if that restored device was then backed up to ICLOUD.. Would icloud somehow hold that 'behind the scenes' cache/cookie data?
Sounds a bit confusion i know. But does anyone know if that link would be at all possible???
Thank you.
Appreciated.

You cannot enable without restoring it and losing everything you have failed to save to your computer.
This is one of the many reason it is very important tostore everything on your computer/cloud service.  Nothing should only be on the ipod.

  • Icloud backup help

    My ipad has seemed to have locked me out. My screen says "icloud backup" then it tells me that my ipad hasn't been backed up in 12 weeks. It gives me instructions to back it up, but they don't seem to work, can anyone help me?

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • ICloud backup help needed!!

    I'm looking to upgrade from my 4S to the 5S. I was told at the apple store to do a backup to icloud before purchasing the new phone.  I am having such troubles!  It said I didn't have enough space on icloud so I deleted all my pictures & videos assuming that would solve the issue.  NOPE! So then I purchased additional iCloud space. Now it just tells me "backing up....estimating time remaining" forever.  It never updates & the blue status bar is not changing/increasing.  I am so frustrated right now.  Any advice??  Thanks so much!!

    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    If you have the opportunity to backup to iTunes, that is what I would do, for a start you would not have had to delete anything from your phone before you started. However if you insist on doing an iCloud backup, then hopefully the suggestions above will help.

  • Iphone 4 contacts disappeared - no iCloud backup, help???

    I have an iPhone 4 with probably outdated operating software.
    I was composing a text message when the applicaton closed abruptly.  When I opened it back up, my contact names were missing, so all I have is numbers in my address book. 
    I do not have an icloud or back up that I know about. 
    Why hasn't someone sued Apple for a class action about this if its such an issue?  Or please tell me how they can be recovered??? 
    Thank you!

    You should never have anything only on the iphone.
    The iphone is designed to bo synced to your computer or cloud based system.
    Not sure how you see this as Apples fault, if you simply fail to do the very basics.
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  Everything should be on your computer.  The iphone simply allows it to be portable.

    My iPad is not responding. It does not unlock. I have a message: iCloud Backup, "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 5 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi". My Question: plugged in to WHAT? locked, HOW? and how to connect to Wi-Fi when my iPad does not respond to anything I do with it? PLEASE HELP.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
    The iPad makes a backup into iCloud automatically when it's connected to the network and it is been charged

  • Icloud backup question

    Need some help understanding how iCloud backup works.  I have a 200GB plan which I purchased yesterday.   I did the full backup (including photos).    My device stats right now are USED = 22.9GB, AVAILABLE = 33.1GB.    iCloud Storage shows TOTAL STORAGE = 200GB, AVAILABLE STORAGE = 192GB.
    When I click into “Manage Storage” (iCloud)  it shows there are “Backups” of iPhone = 2.9GB, iPad = 2.6GB.  
    When I click into “iPhone” it shows “Next Backup Size” of 13.4GB.   The first item on the list of items to be backed up under “Next Backup Size” is my Photo Library at 10.4GB.
    So, the question is…. Why didn’t my Photo Library backup when I did the first backup yesterday?   I had also manually clicked "Back Up Now" a little bit after the initial backup ran. 
    Note:  I have an iPhone 5s running 8.1.3 (12B466)
    Thanks!!!!

    When it comes to photos, use iCloud for syncing between devices (photo stream), but don't rely on saving photos in an icloud backup - too many users have reported losing photos when performing a restore.
    The golden rule of saving/archiving photos is ...
    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone/iPad to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • Please help, 2 iCloud backups

    My friend and I share the same Apple ID but have 2 separate iCloud backups. All the syncing is done on my Macbook. He will be installing iOS7 through Wi-fi and I will be doing it through my laptop. Once we install iOS7, will he get HIS iCloud backup or mine?
    Thanks to anyone and everyone that helps answer this question, I greatly appreciate it

    You're welcome.  Also, it's always a good idea to create a second backup on your computer using iTunes just in case something goes wrong with your iCloud backup.  To do this, connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your device in iTunes, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.

  • I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.

    I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

    You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

  • New iphone 5 setup with icloud backup from 4s iOS5.1 (HELP PLEASE)

    long story hopefully an easy fix....
    on wensday my power supply went and had to ship computer across country to Puget Computer Systems as we weren't sure if it was power supply or mobo...luckily it was power supply.
    i daily backed up iphone 4s with itunes (10.7) as i do all music manually, playlists, etc. have like 3,000 plus songs, videos, audiobooks, mail aaccts and about 48 apps.
    so next day (sept 19th) apple comes out with iOS 6 which i update my 4s to with no problem. I wanted a day to play with it to learn my way around.
    next day i wait in line for 8 hours overnite and was #2 in line at apple store for my ATT 32gb white iPhone 5. while at apple store I get my icloud backup which gets all paid music,apps, etc since itunes version 10.3 (i always did both backups so as not to lose my contacts more than anything.
    I have other paid stuff that is in library on computer along with audiobooks and about 2700 more songs.
    my icloud backup put the playlists on iPhone but not most of the music for them as lots were ripped from my cd's.as i double them up making a copy on iPhone and a copy on itunes.
    So I have been using iPhone 5 with no problems just don't have all of itunes library on it. My computer is coming back this week how do I plug in iPhone 5 via USB (which will be seen as new phone even though it has same name) and use my existing iTunes 10.7 library which the backups in iTunes still has iOS 5.1.1 on it?
    There must be an easy way of doing it as i don't want to wipe off iphone 5 again as i don't see any purpose my library is all organized perfectly. I know my way around windows 7 pro 64 bit pretty well just don't know what itunes is going to say once it sees "joe's iPhone" again and installs the usb drivers and icon for it. what will it ask in regards to library and how do i use it with previous iOS on it?
    Thank you very much for the help as I am going to need it.

    The iCloud backup does not include non-Tunes purchased music and photos that were synced to the iPod. The iCloud backup does not also included a few other things included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does also not included non-iTunes purchases and photos synced to the iPod.
    free programs like iFunBox with copy non-iTunes purchased music and some other things from iPod to computer.  A paid program like TouchCopy is needed to copy photos synced to the iPod to a computer.

  • Friend deleted app (my disk for iphone) and need to get back data from my icloud backup...need help!

         I had this app called my disk (app store name is: Lock photo+video safe - secure folder manager to protect private photos vault & hide secret picture file privacy) This app lets me have two passwords with different pictures and videos in each of them. It's a really great app.
         My friend deleted the app by "accident" and I need to get the app back with all my data. I have a backup of the app on my icloud backup that was taken place two months ago (around same time the app was deleted). It shows up in the cloud saying I have 4gb worth of that app in the cloud. I restore my phone back to that backup but the app data is not there. I wasn't sure if I had to wait till my iphone backs up everything (like music and pictures for example) for it to show up but as soon as the app downloaded I opened it hapilly knowing I have my data back but unfortunately it was not there. In the app itself, there's an option to backup from the cloud but it just brings up this window that says you can back up from the cloud (doesn't have a place to hit that says restore or anything).
         Is there something I am doing wrong? Can anyone help me? I really need that app data back because I have pictures of memories with friends and family inside that app that I do not have anywhere else. Once i get the back back ill be sure to save the photos onto my computer just incase anything goes wrong again.
    Thanks everyone for the help!

    fwiw
    It seems that in a case like this you'd need to reset the device to factory settings and then restore from iCloud backup.
    Sadly the reset to factory settings could cause more trouble than its worth.
    Apple's iCloud backup, could, but does not let the user restore one app or its data.
    You'll also find that even though that App's data is in the cloud, you as its owner do not have access to it.
    Hope it helps/

    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use your device again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and make a backup. The device will be backed up when it's plugged to the charger and connected to your network

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

    A number of employers will push a security profile to your phone when you add their exchange account that prevents you from backing it up to iCloud.  They do this because they don't want confidential company information on another companies servers.  If this is the case, you will find a setting called "Profile" in Settings>General near the bottom.
    You would have to contact the company's IT department to confirm that they are preventing you from backing up to iCloud but that's normally what causes the iCloud backup setting to be grayed our or missing from an iOS device.

  • ICloud backup questions?

    Quick question- I see a message that says my phone needs to be locked for iCloud to back up all my stuff? Is that true? or will it back up if I'm using it? I will be going to get a new iPhone very soon so I want to make sure all my data is backed up. Also, approx how long will this take if i only have mail, contacts, photos and music being backed up?

    To back up your phone manually:
    Connect the device to a power source and make sure that you are also connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and tap Back Up Now.
    Depending on the speed of your connection, & the amount of data, an initial iCloud backup can take several hours or more.
    Automatic backups to iCloud require your phone be connected to a power source, wifi, & the screen locked.

  • Manual iCloud backup question

    I am trying to manually backup my Iphone 4s to iCloud. I  connect only to Wifi, and then I've gone to Settings>iCloud>Storage&Backup>BackUpNow. It runs for 20 minutes or longer and then, right at the very end, it says "the last backup could not be completed"?
