Iphone 5s wont restore from the cloud

I just purchased an iphone 5s and am trying to restore from the cloud. I think my contacts are fine but i only get about half of my photos... Why? Please help...

Your Mac would need to be running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, and you had iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or higher or Aperture 3.2.3 or higher in order to see your photo stream. If you went to System Preferences>iCloud, signed into your account and checked Photos, you would be able to access photo stream photos from the last 30 days (older photos are no longer in iCloud).
I guess I don't know why you would get a message that there isn't enough room to back up your phone if you were restoring a backup. As a long shot, you could try restoring the backup again using the approach posted by ezjules here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589 (open the camera roll after the phone restarts during the backup and keep it open until the backup completes). It seems to have worked for some people. Otherwise, you can call Apple support for free if your phone is less than 90 days old: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/. You'll need your serial number to set up the call, which you can find in Settings>General>About.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After installinf ios6 I lost all contacts, I could not get them back so I hit restore. This restored the phone to 4 months back. The phone did not give me the option to restore from the cloud. is there anyway I can now restore from the cloud?

How many backups are in the cloud? When I installed ios6 it backed up to the cloud, since then I restored the phone trying to regain my contacts. At this point the used the last backup I performed on the computer 5 months ago. I never had the oppertunity to restore from the cloud. Is there anyway I can now restoe from the cloud and would it have the backup that was performed when I installed ios6?

HT4859 Restore from the Cloud

Solution Needed: When trying to restore backup of iPad from the cloud I get error "Could not sign in Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error". I have good internet connection and am communicating with the server with my iPhone. Is there something I can do but wait and try later.

Your phone must be running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up in order to restore the backup. If it isn't, update it in iTunes, set it up as a new device, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Conent and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Your backup should then be available to restore from.

HT5085 I bought music on my iPhone and cannot download from the cloud to my macbook pro.

I have done this in the past with no problem. My computer is a Macbook Pro and is activated for my itunes account. I manually search or the songs Ive bought on my iphone and can see it says purchased but its grey and not clickable. I dont understand why I cannot download them from the cloud into my computer.

What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Or if you want music that you buy on your phone to automatically download on your phone then you can use automatic downloads : Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) - that will only apply to new purchases made after you turn it 'on'

My iPhone 4 wont 'restore from itunes backup' after updating

I just backed up then updated my iPhone 4. When it was finished it said a problem occurred and I had to restore it. When it finished restoring and I went to sync it and restore from the itunes back up, to get alll my old stuff back, but my phone is staying on that set up screen, and keeps saying connect to itunes even know it is connected and has already synced.
and nothing is going on my phone.

The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.

I am using iTunes Match, and wish to restore from the cloud to itunes. Why do I have to select one at a time to download?

I am using iTunes Match, and had to restore all of my music (.3000 songs). Problem is, I don't see where can restore them all at once. I can do it for all purchased items from the Cloud, but not for songs/content that I added on my own from CD's. I have had to click the cloud icon for each song....really, my hand is about to cramp. Is there a restore all function for non-purchased songs? If not, it needs to be added to the Match software.
Thanks

Instead of steaming you can just download directly from the cloud. Don't you see the cloud icon with a downward arrow? You may have already downloaded then then. Turn off iTM and see if the songs are still present.

Had to replace battery which wiped out everything. restored from the cloud, but when I hook up to computer, won't sync. keeps asking if I want to re-store again. Ideas?

Had to replace battery, which wiped out everything. Backed up from the cloud, but when I hook to computer, won't sync. Keeps asking if I want to re-store the phone.
Ideas?

no apple store replaced. they said there were 3 apple programs that kept crashing in background, which ran battery down cause they kept trying to re-load.
they backed up phone to cloud, wiped out old software and replaced new software & new battery. since then won't sync with itunes on computer.

The device was dropped in water, it is damaged, take it to Apple along with cash or a credit card and get an Out of Warranty replacement.

Hello, I recently lost the computer I was locally syncing my ipad to (it crashed badly). I have enabled the icloud sync for the iPad 2 I use to be backed up there.

HT201269 My 4s wont restore from the backup on my pc, its asking for a password and my itunes password wont work .... I have not submitted any others ?? please help!

I have today replaced my 4s with a new one - having backed up my old one to itunes only this afternoon. It refuses to restore from backup and is asking me for a password... my itunes password isnt working, and yet i have not entered any others.. does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi..
It's asking for your admin password, not your Apple ID and password.
If you can't remember the password ..
Your new Mac is running v10.7 Lion so there are two ways to reset the admin password.
Here > Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password
or here > OS X Lion: Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password

How do i find music on iphone that is not from the cloud

The list of songs on my iphone is endless, but most of that music is still in the cloud. Is there a way to get the phone to display only the music that is actually physically downloaded onto my phone already? TIA

It sounds like she may be using a different account then the one that was used to purchase 10.8
If you cannot locate the purchase, contact the iTunes Store so they can help you figure out which account it's attached to.
