Hey, my brother just recently got an iPhone 5, and logged in with my iTunes account, and enabled iCloud, and all of my contacts went onto his phone, he then deleted them all because he dosnt know any of them, and now I have no contacts anymore.
I hope this can be fixed my reverting to a previous backup or something,

  • HT4859 My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues.  What I would suggest you do is the following:
    If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
    Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on.  This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
    Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.

  • Is it possible to restore an ipad from icloud backup of an iphone?

    I don't know if this is technically possible.  We have several iOs devices associated with one apple id, an iphone, ipad, and ipod.  I wanted to know if I can delete all the stuff from my ipad and restore it with stuff from the iphone. Thanks for any help.

    Hey there Crusauvage,
    It sounds like you have an iPad you would like to restore from an iPhone backup. According to this article yes, you can:

    Only app data from App Store apps and sync settings will be restored to your device when you do the following:

  • How do i restore contacts from a previous icloud backup?

    Somehow - half of my contacts have disappeared.
    I turned icoloud backup off , but the most recent backup is missing those contacts as well.
    i am pretty sure that the previous backup have the full contacts that i want to restore.
    Don't want to restore the entire phone.
    how can this be done ? will icloud drive help ?

    If you turned iCloud backup off and deleted the backup, you won't have an earlier iCloud backup to restore from.  Your most recent backup, if you didn't delete it, may have your contacts if it was made before the contacts were lost.  However, you have to follow this process to restore contacts from an iCloud backup: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.  Otherwise the recovered contacts will be deleted as soon as your device reconnects to iCloud (making you think that they weren't included in the backup).

  • URGENT-Does Erase all Data and restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup??

    Does restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup?
    I made a Icloud back up two days ago. I have text messaged and sent emails since. I haven't backed up again yet and I was wondering that if I erase my phone and back up to that Icloud Back up made two days ago, the texts and emails I have sent SINCE then will be permanently deleted? AKA they can never be found again by anyone?

    That is correct you can only get back data that was backed up.

  • My daughter accidentally restored her ipod4 to factory settings so I restored from the last iCloud backup. Her photos were all on camera roll so I believe should have been backed up, but none of them have been restored. Why?

    My daughter accidentally reset her ipod4 to factory settings so I restored from the last iCloud backup. All her photos were on camera roll so I believe they should have automatically been backed up, but none have been restored. Why?

    When she plugged in the ipod last night it backed up again so that now shows as the latest backup. No previous backups are listed so I do not seem to have the option to rerun the old one. She had many pictures on the camera roll taken from well before July. I can only presume that the backup in July must have been incomplete - but then I didn't think it was supposed to list as an option to restore from. Luckily many of the photos had been backed up on the pc but I am very frustrated as to why the icloud backup didn't protect them. Thank you for your advice though, I appreciate it.

    Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

    Answer is no.
    If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
    The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
    It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
    Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
    Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
    You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
    Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
    Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
    If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
    Succes, Lex

  • HT1414 How do I restore from an earlier icloud backup that is not showing up for my ipad?

    How do I restore from an earlier icloud backup that is not showing up for my ipad?

    You can't.  Usually you have only the most recent backup to choose from (I do).  Some users has said they get 3 to choose from (this is the max as stated in Apple literature).  You can't go back further than that.
    The usual advice is that all photos should be synced to a computer (too many users have lost some/all their photos doing a restore - don't trust them solely to icloud).  If you've been doing that, you can find them on your computer.

  • IPhone 5:  Restoring Camera Roll from iCloud Backup.

      When restoring all data from iCloud Backup, Camera Roll never finished downloading.  It was stuck at 5 out of 715.  How can I restore Camera Roll from iCloud Backup now that the initial "start up" Restore is complete?

    Got my photos & videos back into camera roll!  I woke this morning and all 701 were there.  This is a few less than the most recent backup had, but good enough. So, there were a few things flakey about my experience restoring from iCloud.  Therefore as many, including yourself have noted, iCloud IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A TRUSTED METHOD for backing up, storing or restoring photos & videos.  If your photos & videos are important to you, backup to your computer at regular intervals. 
    What worked?
    1:  Following randers4's suggestion to review ezjules' post (see above for link).
    2:  When the most recent backup failed, I went to the next one available (2 days old)
    3:  When the Photo App displaying X of XXX images downloading in camera roll got hung up on the first few images, I powered down the phone and it resumed downloading more.  However, it hung up 2 more times and then proceeded while I went to bed. 
    4:  Phone was plugged into A/C outlet entire time, no incoming or outgoing phone calls or texts. 
    I am no longer going to back up photos or videos to the cloud.  I will also cancel my additional storage capacity on iCloud.  Why pay for secure storage that is so flakey?!? 

  • HT4858 How do you access a previous iCloud backup to get photos back?

  • How to restore Data from past iCloud backup? I lost my spreadsheets from Numbers, need help.

    How to restore Data from past iCloud backup?
    Is there a way where i can retrieve my spreadsheets from the past iCloud backup of numbers?

    Your Numbers documents were synced with iCloud so they would be stored on the server rather than being included in the backup.  If you were signed into your iCloud account on a Mac that you were backing up with Time Machine, you could restore them from your Time Machine backup.
