Lost 3/4 of Notability files backed up in iCloud. HELP!

I have a student who is using Notability. Files are backed up in iCloud and show up in the Manage Storage portion of settings -- about 100 files. When I open the Notability App and sync to iCloud, only 20 of the notes are there. HELP!!!
I've restarted, restored, the iPad, reset iCloud, etc.... To no Avail.

I had the same problem a few hours ago. When I turned iCloud on in Notability, almost all my notes disappeared. So I turned it off. I thought I had lost all my notes, but they were still anywhere in the iPad (the space used was about the same). In Settings-General-Usage you can see what is storaged in your iCloud account (in www.icloud.com you only find information about keynote, calendar app... ¬¬). Just after I began to panic because of the massive document loss, I went to check if the notes where there, but Notability was using almost no space in iCloud. So notes were apparently nowhere but using storage space. After one hour more or less, I could see to my surprise that everything was stored in iCloud again (you can see even the list of notes). Then I just opened Notability and turned iCloud on again, and the notes came back.
Maybe you have already solved the problem. If not, I hope this will work.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you should be able to log into iCloud on a Mac from system preferences > iCloud and set up photostream to download any photos that are there. You should also be able to use your iCloud back up to restore any replacement phone to reflect the phone you lost.

Can't find photos after backing up to iCloud - help!

Yesterday I was given a new iPhone 5 after experiencing problems with my camera, I hadn't backed up my phone in a while so did it in store and backed up to iCloud.
On setting up my new iPhone 5 my iCloud account has a different email address to my Apple ID account (the iCloud one is under my old email address). I have tried everything I can think of to get into this account but with no such luck which means none of my photos are there.
Is there a way to access my old account to get my photos?

It would make no sense to switch to another account, if you used this account for back up your data. But besides that, many users reported problems to back up photos to iCloud, but it is also very important to know that iCloud would only store photos and videos stored in your Camera Roll (Please see also: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859).

How to view files backed up on iCloud

So I recently wiped an old iPhone to give to a relative, but before that I backed it up using icloud to save my photos etc.
How can I view these photos/sync them onto my mac or ipad so that I can see them?
For some reason they're not showing up in iPhoto even though my mac says it backed up the phone...
Please help! I really hope I haven't lost all these photos!
Thanks
p.s. I'm terrible with computers and stuff so could you try and make it simple

A backup to iCloud can only be used to restore to an iOS device. You cannot see the contents of the backup prior to doing a restore and there is no way to access the backup except by doing a restore. If in fact you did an iCloud backup and nothing else, the only way you are going to be able to recover the photos would be to restore to an iOS device.
If you backed up to a Mac using iTunes, that is also only meant to be used to restore to an iOS device, but there are 3rd party applications that can extract files from a backup made using iTunes. One example is http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/
If there is any chance that you synced the Photos to iCloud (i.e., Photo Stream) you can turn on Photo Stream on your Mac and possibly retrieve the photos.https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html

Just upgraded storage and most of my numbers files have disappeared from iCloud, help!

I just purchased the additional storage for my iCloud account. And when I went to iCould.com today, my spreadsheets are gone. There is only one (of about 8) remaining, and it is an old version from May. Please help, I need these files!

As long as you save your documents to iCloud, those documents can only be accessed from there and that requires an internet connection.
Sorry this is NOT true.
You can access your iCloud documents when you are not online because they are stored on your computer.
So if you have time machine you can get back all your lost files.
Click the GO menu and press alt/option key to reveal the hidden Library folder.
Find the MOBILE DOCUMENTS folder and open.
All your iCloud documents from Numbers etc are stored in here.
They will probably be missing because they sync with the cloud.
Start up Time maching and scroll back to a date before all your files went missing and they will appear.
Restore the files.

Keynotes '09

How exactly did you shut down your laptop? Not a hard restart (holding down the power button), I hope... if that's the case, then it is extremely unlikely the file is still intact on your computer. If it is, it would be an image on your RAM, and it is time-and-resource-intensive to recover it if it is even there. RAM memory is disposable and always being written over. Sorry dude...
If it wasn't a hard restart, Keynote should have made a backup, unless you 'Force Close'd it.
It really all depends on how your mac was shut down.

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

How do i get hosted website files back into iWeb after they were lost off iWeb?

Lost all website files from my iWeb program. Possible I updated a newer non compatible iWeb version? At any rate........have website files back on my desktop and have no idea how to get them back into iWeb so I can modify. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You can't. iWeb has no import capability. Search your hard drive for a file named Domian.sites2. It normally resides in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you use Time Machine you can go back in it to find the latest copy of that file.
However,
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you can't find it you'll have to start a new website. You can open the files from the website in your browser and copy/drag photos from the existing website pages into a new or blank iWeb page. Text should be selected and copied and then pastes into the new webpage. No need to add a text box first.

Can synced photos on my iPad be sent back to my Mac? I lost pics in my iPhoto file needed for a presentation.

Can synced photos on my iPad be sent back to my Mac? I lost pics in my iPhoto file needed for a presentation.

And of course I forgot about the built in way to send them back to the Mac .... Email them. You can email up to 5 photos at at time.
Launch the photos app, while looking at the photos in thumbnail view - tap the arrow icon in the upper right corner - tap on up to 5 photos at a time - Tap the Share button in the upper left corner - tap email from the resulting window.

It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences

I have a friend who I was helping out with his iPhone. He has since lost it. I believe I backed it up to my machine but have no idea where to find it. Is it possible to find it and read the back-up file without the original device being connected?

If he gets another device - you should be able to restore it from your computer to the point where you backed it up
Otherwise that file cannot be read

HT4873 How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com. If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it. (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album. Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored. Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another. Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.
