My iPad won't back up photos to iCloud. It doesn't download photos from iCloud either.

I have now but think it is the answer that said you can't stream photos that you had already taken. Thank you for your trouble.

HT201077 My Iphone 4s was replaced by the Apple store today. I previously backed everything up to Icloud. I'm downloading everything from Icloud onto the new phone. The pictures seem to have stalled on number 215 for the past hour or so.

I had my I phone 4s replaced today at the Apple store. I previously backed it up on ICloud. I'm downloading from ICloud to the new phone. The pictures have been stuck on number 215 for an hour now. I've turned the phone off and on several times, but it won't progress in downloading the pictures. This happened the last time the phone was replaced and there was something I could do to get things moving, but I don't remember what?

Then you'll have to decide when you think it's hung and unlikely to restart. At that point, you'll probably have to reset it (by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release) and try restoring the backup again.
The only "solution" I've seen posted on photos that fail to restore from a backup that seems to have worked for others, is the on posted by ezjules here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. If you restore the backup again, you could give it a try and see if it works for you.

IPad won't back up

I've never had an issue with my iPad until today. I had to replace my hard drive - the tech did it and migrated all my stuff onto my new HD. At first I had an issue with the iPad syncing and "step 2 or 4 calendars", but seemed to have fixed it.
Now, the iPad won't back up in iTunes. I plug it into my laptop and is goes through the motions of syncing, then stops and says that it cannot on the computer. Should I be doing something because it's a new HD? Advice please, thank you.

Hi,
Not sure if this will help, but launch iTunes then from the menu bar click Store / *Authorize This Computer*.
Restart your computer, connect the iPad and try syncing.

ICloud got stuck while downloading photos.

I restored my iphone yesterday and backed it up via iCloud. It began downloading photos from iCloud and the got stuck in the 8th picture. I don't even care about those photos so I went into iCloud settings and deleted my photos backup. But in my camera roll it still says "Downloading 8 of 576". I have restarted the phone multiple times and still the same problem.

Ok... I just had the same issue and after an hour of trying to figure this out... reading threads in forums... and nobody had a reliable solution... I got it...! LOL
Anyway, it's as simple as hooking up your iPhone to your computer and getting into iTunes > go to your iPhone > go to Photos > Put a check in the box for "Sync Photos from". Now make sure you pick your folder that you have previously used for photos. Otherwise, you can do what I did and just said "To heck with it" and created a blank folder with zero pictures in it. Last, just hit "Apply" down at the bottom of iTunes. Voila! Problem solved! No more spinning, no more downloading, no more killing the battery and no more headache!
Essentially, all you're doing is manually RE-SYNCING your photos and overriding the iCloud sync download to your iPhone.
P.S. - If you do as I did with the blank folder with zero photos, your phone's Camera Roll will have 0 photos in it. And if you had seperate Albums that you have created... they will be gone too. So, if you want to make sure to keep all of your photos and albums... MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THOSE FOLDERS THROUGH ITUNES BEFORE YOU HIT "APPLY"!

HT201272 My iPhone won't download music from iCloud only apps. The songs appear to download, then give a download error message just before it finishes. Also the songs won't transfer when I sync the phone to pc, only the apps.

My iPhone only downloads apps from iCloud, the songs get almost finish then I get a download error message. Also the only thing that syncs are the apps, not the music when I sync on pc?

Hi,
I experienced the same issue as you have. What worked for me is the following:
Go to iTunes store on your iPad. Under Downloads (the icon to the bottom right) you should see the episode that is causing you the issue. Delete this episode (swipe to left). Then retry. This worked for me.
The workaround is far from ideal and Apple needs to find a solution for this as you are not the only one who reported this issue.

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

Hi Poonam26c,
If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

Just got iphone 5s, when I recopied my itms from backup, the songs did not copy to the new device, it states I can download them from iCloud, hw do I get my itunes library back on my iphone

i cannot copy my songs in my itunes library and have them stored on my iphone. It keeps telling ,me that I can access music in icloud. Songs can be downloaded and played via wifi or a cellular network. I want to copy all them back to my phone without haveing to go on phone and download each from icloud again. Help

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

My new ipad won't back up from iCloud

I just got a new iPad wi-fi/4G LTE and for some reason it won't back up from my iCloud account. When I'm setting up my new iPad it says no back ups available even though I have my old iPad set to receive back ups from iCloud.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

My iPad won't down load apps anymore my grandson tried to download about 7 apps at the same time now it won't update or anything can u help?

My iPad won't download apps or update anymore my grandson got hold of it and tried to download several games at the same time can you help?

Try a reset, press and hold both the power and home buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

I had my iPad 2 replaced by Apple today. All my backup was iCloud and so proceeded to restore from iCloud backup point but couldn't proceed as the new iPad needed iOS 7. How can I get I get around this?

I had my iPad 2 replaced by Applestore today. On the new iPad I tried to restore from iCloud backup point but was told I was unable to do this as the new iPad needed to have the latest running system iOS 7 loaded. Is there a way I can do this so I can get my iCloud backup or do I need to go back to Applestore and get an iPad preloaded with iOS 7?

If you feel comfortable you can do the Update to iOS 7 yourself and after you have successfully done that... then Restore your iCloud Back Up.
If you are not comfortable in doing it yourself... Then go back to the Apple Store and get them to do it.
They will be Happy to assist you.

HT4859 i broke my iphone and got a new one. My iCloud backup has a backup from the old phone and one from the new phone. The new phone didnt download everything from icloud. Is there a way to download the stuff i didnt get back?

You'll have to do another restore from the old phone backup. But before doing that, tell us what was not restored. For example is it just photos that didn't get restored? If so, that seems to be a common problem for many users, judging by the posts left in the forum. There doesn't seem to be a solution to that problem (other then to tell users to ALWAYS sync photos to a computer and never trust an iCloud backup/restore to save photos.

My iPad won't back up photos to iCloud. It doesn't download photos from iCloud either.
