ICloud backups after iOS 6.1 update

I updated iOS 6.1 on my iPad 2, it restored my iPad to a brand new tablet. I lost 2years worth of information. There is some pictures still there from about 2 weeks ago but everything, I mean, EVERYTHING else is gone, my life is gone. I thought my info was backed up in iCloud. Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help? I was set up for automatic backups.

You're welcome.  To restore to an iCloud backup on a device that has already been set up you have to erase it and go back through the setup screens again.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go back through the setup screens on your iPad, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  You might want to make sure it's connected to your charge as this will take some time to finish.

  • Problems with iCloud backup after iOS 7 update

    After I installed iOS 7.0 my iPad mini every time it tries to backup to iCloud it asks for my iCloud password and I submit it every time and then it works fine. How can I get it to remeber it?

    I have the same problem :(
    I backed up my iphone 4S - which had been ugpraded to IOS6 - and when i restored to my Iphone 5 -- my shortcut keys had stopped working!
    Turning it off - and back on again makes shortcuts work - but only for so long
    All my shortcuts have been copied over correctly.

  • Cannot turn on icloud backup after downgrade to iOS 7.1.2

    I own an iPhone 4S which I upgraded to iOS 8 on 21st September. The iphone and most of applications (even phone) crashed all the time so I decide to downgrade to 7.1.2 after following instructions found in these communities. I did it just yesterday.
    Now I cannot turn on iCloud Backup to my iPhone. The iCloud drive of course disappeared from Settings > iCloud, however it's still visible when I access the iCould in web. Moreover in iCloud web interface my iPhone appears as running iOS 8 and X Yosemite which is not true. My iPhone has 7.1.2 iOS.
    I tried to erase my iPhone and restore it from a backup I made yesterday but I have the same issue: iCloud could not be enabled. It was enabled finally after hard reset but when I select "Backup now" the app crashes and throw me in the Home Screen. I see a message: this iPhone has never been backed up on iCloud and the last backup could not be completed.
    Please help!!!!!! I want to be able to have iCloud Backup (most important settings and contacts, sms etc.) as I did usually before upgrading to iOS 8 and downgraded to 7.1.2.

    Hello,
    Been experiencing the same problem, finally fix it by deleting your old iCloud backup from iOS 8.
    Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Click on your device name > Scroll down to bottom > Delete this backup.
    Then try to turn on the iCloud Backup setting toggle again.
    Hope this helps.

  • No sound after IOS 4.1 update

    I really hope someone can suggest a solution. I updated my iPhone 3G to IOS 4.1 earlier today and since the I have lost all sound - no keyboard clicks, music or alerts. Has anyone else experienced this and could you offer a suggestion?
    Many thanks

    No sound for my iPhone 3G after iOS 4.1 update! Restored back to 3.1.2. Still no sound! (befor the 4.1 update, everything was fine).
    Then I reset all settings, sound came back. But then iPhone started to freeze randomly, with increasing frequency to the point I needed to restore again. This time back to iOS 4.1. And guess what - no sound! Resetted all settings. Still no sound.
    Key points:
    * sound loss is software issue that came with iOS 4. (i was able to get sound back after settings reset but only on iOS 3.1)
    * iOS 4.1 makes iPhone unstable both on 4.1 and earlier versions.
    * restore has no effect (I never restored from backup, started as a fresh phone)
    * iOS 4.1 destroys your iPhone 3G

  • I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update

    I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update.  I'm able to back via work wifi but not at home.  Any ideas?

    Hi BmoreHunter.
         As far as using the bridge mode method you'd need to see what CLJDOhas to say, as that user is the only one that I see in this thread who used this method. The method that worked for me is different. I went out and bought a new modem. This made the most sense to me since the firmware in the unit that comcast gave me had issues and I am paying to rent the thing, I figured that I'll save some money if I just buy my own.
         I ended up purchasing a motorola SURFboard eXtreme (model SB6121) for $70 (happened to be on sale) from my local Target. For another $7 I was able to secure a 2yr warranty against failure, which was my only hesitation in buying vs renting.
         This modem should work just fine for you since you are a comcast customer. If you decide to go with a different modem, the important thing is to make sure that you purchase a modem that is compatible with the technology that your ISP (in this case comcast) uses. Also DOCSIS 3.0 is the "flavor" of cable modem you want as it will give you better performace than DOCSIS 2.0 devices (such as an older Motorola SURFboard).
         Once you buy the modem you will have to call comcast and have them add the modem to your account. They'll ask for the MAC address of the modem, then send a re-set signal to it, so make sure you are home when you call and can connect/disconnect the modem as needed. After your modem is added to your account and up and running you can then connect your new AirPort Express to the modem (via ethernet cable) and you should be all set!

  • Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: my husband's phone and my phone get the same phone calls ONLY when we are home.  Any suggestions on where to look to fix this?

    Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: all the iphones in the house receive the same phone calls ONLY while we are at home.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

  • IHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.

    My iHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.  Prompts message 'This accessory is not supported by iPhone'.  Has anyone come accross this and is there a fix?

    Ring up iHome and ask them for a fix... And if they cant supply you with a fix... Then you should be entitled to a replacement or a upgrade, as firmware upgrades on your ios device should not affect audio products......

  • Problems after iOS 6.0 update with iMessage  and FaceTime

    After iOS 6.0 update i had problems to used iMessage and FaceTime

    Messages will almost send but stop right before completion. FaceTime will go through only after multiple attempts. After that iMessage will work for a little while. Have talked with folks at apple support but they did not have a solution. Have tried both closing out the programs as well as turning the iPod off and back on. Neither has solved the problem. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks for your help.

  • How do I get the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

    how do Iget the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

    I went to the link. I selected iPHONE.  There was a big iPhone icon above the comment box -- so I was absolutely, positively on the right page.  I spent five minutes or so crafting a constructive comment as to why I wanted the full photo feature back on incoming calls on iOS7.  Then...i noticed the box below the comment area asked 'What operating system are you on?'.  And the drop down selection list included every operating system since Job's garage days -- but not one single iOS entry.  No iOS entries on an iphone page.  Unless I'm missing something, I think anyone writing a feedback comment is wasting his/her time.
