ICloud restoring while screen locked? or...

When restoring from iCloud does my phone's screen need to be unlocked? or can it be done while the screen is locked?

Great response thanks, but I dont think I made myself clear, the restore is done is the apps that are installing, will my phone need to be unlocked for my apps to install or can it be done while it's locked?

  • Photos Taken While Phone Locked Aren't Syncing to iCloud

    Before my upgrade to iOS7 my iPhone would sync all photos to iCloud without any problem.
    Since the upgrade it appears that some photos (not all) are failing to sync. It appears that it's generally photos that have been taken while the phone is locked that are failing to sync.

    Your phone has to be connected to wifi, with the camera app closed and with at least 20% battery life remaining in order to upload photos to photo stream.  When the screen locks, wifi turns off after a few seconds in order to save battery power, preventing them from uploading.  (However, they should be uploaded when it reconnects to wifi again.)

  • ICloud restore Apps download while in waiting mode then disappear after

    Hi All,
    When I restore my iPhone 4 from the iCloud backup, I get prompted to key in a new passcode for the phone, Facetime password, iMessage password, and my email passwords but I do not get prompted for my AppStore password.
    My apps stay in "Waiting..." mode and they start downloading at that state. The moment the download completes, all the waiting apps turn white and flash (disappear and appear) and the downloaded app disappears forever (icons have shifted as if they app was deleted).
    I have tried this about 7 times already and at every single attempt, I was not prompted for my AppStore password (I'm guessing the restored apps do not get authenticated/verified so they just get dumped after download).
    I then tried a few more restores and thought of ways that would "interrupt" this instant download of apps (in Waiting... state). I tried shutting the phone off after I keyed in all my passwords (I have about 5 email accounts). Upon starting back up the phone, it will go on with the automatic download without asking me for my AppStore password.
    I decided to try to interrupt the sequence further (in another restore attempt) but continously tapping on an application in the Waiting... state (similar to how you would pause/unpause a new app download/update). This eventually caused the AppStore login prompt. After which, one of the apps now hit Loading... state and downloading it completely will install it. All the relevant data is restored.
    Now the issue is that despite being able to do this, I still lose 1 or 2 apps (one before I shutdown and before I can hammer an app enough to make it pop up the AppStore login screen). Is there some sort of delay issue with regards to the iCloud restore process? Is it possible to get the phone to prompt me for my AppStore password immediately after a restore?
    I'm not sure if this is due to my iCloud backup being corrupted (upon initial restore the phone reboots and does the loading graphics and then to the apple then get stuck in the spinning icon for a while). I dont know how much more I can describe what I'm experiencing but I will gladly provide more information.

    OK...
    Here's what I did to get around this problem, a slight modification of a fix for another issue...
    All you need to do is Settings->General->International->Languages–>Change to British English
    This will cause the Springboard to soft reset and the stuck apps will automatically resume and download themselves! Or not, in which case you can follow the steps below.
    Now (very important) after perfomimng step one again, quickly go to the app that you are stuck on, move it out of its folder if necessary, to get at it more easily. Press and hold to bring up the 'x' then tap to delete. Note: You will only have few seconds, maybe 2 or 3 before the springboard finishes its refresh and the resume download kicks back in on the stuck app. Once it gets to resume restore mode, you will be unable to delete the stuck app. The rest of your apps should continue to download normally now, once the offending app is deleted. You can easily re-download that app later, once the others have finished restoring.
    You can now change the language back to US English or whatever (I'm going to leave mine in the Queens English)
    Cheers! Hope this helps someone.

  • When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

    When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

    I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

  • TS4006 I lost my iPad! I initially set up a screen lock in iCloud but now my iPad is no longer in the list.

    I lost my iPad! I initially set up a screen lock in iCloud, only to find out that I would then not be able to find my device. I then removed my device from the list in iCloud. Now, after clicking on "find my iPhone", it does not appear in the list. How do I get it back in my list of devices? The fact that it was originally in the list, does it mean that I did activate "find my iPhone"?

    you did activate find my iPhone but because you removed it from the devices list, you cant do anything further.  You need the device to add it back to the list.

  • Cannot switch songs while in lock screen

    Since I upgraded to IOS7, I am not able to switch songs while in lock screen. I was able to do this without any issue in all my previous versions. It worked in Music as well as Pandora. Now, I have to first unlock the screen then switch.
    The funny part is that the forward, stop and previous buttons are all there but pressing on them does absolutely nothing.
    Does anyone know if this is an option I can change or is it indeed a bug?

    You can report this via the feedback option on your iTunes Help menu.
    Ctrl-L seems to work correctly when not in full screen mode.

  • Is it possible to delete your iCloud backup while you're restoring from it?

    I was restoring my phone from an iCloud backup when all of a sudden my phone kept yelling at me that my iCloud storage was full. I mindlessly deleted the OLD backup from which I was restoring from to make room for the new one. I'm not sure if my phone was completely finished with restoring and wanted to know if it was possible to delete an iCloud backup while restoring.
    Thanks!
    Edit: sorry for saying "restoring" so many times in three sentences !

    Okay thank you so much! Before my restore, I only had ~0.3gb free on my phone and now I have 3gb so I thought it was because the restore didn't complete. I guess it was because not everything was backed to iCloud!

    how to lock the tauch screen with some password or dots like android to prevent misuse. And also screen lock to prevent interruption while watching movie reading books etc.

    You can set a passcode to be requied to unlock the iPad via Settings > General > Passcode Lock. In terms of locking the actual screen whilst using an app, then that isn't currently possible, but with iOS 6 in the Autumn there will be a new 'accessibility' feature (from here) which will allow you :
    ... to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the screen

    You will have to contact the previous owner, only he/she can remove the phone from their account. You don't have any contact details for the person that you bought the phone from, email address, phone number, postal address ? If you can't contact them then you won't be able to reactivate and use the phone.

  • When my screen locks while streaming music or podcast, the radio or podcast stops.

    When my iPhone 5s screen locks while I am streaming a podcast or live radio, it pauses. What do I need to do to stop this short of adjusting the screen to never lock? This is hugely disruptive while running.

    Visit the Apple Store and request for a replacement. Cheers!
