My photos on my replacement iphone won't download from icloud

I had to get my iPhone 4s replaced & before going to the Apple Store, I did an iCloud backup. When I got my replacement iPhone, everything was transferred onto the new phone. When I went home, my pictures said "downloading". (I only had 366 photos) So I let my phone sit for a few hours, thinking the pictures would download. Well, they never did and my phone has been saying "downloading" on my pictures for 6 days now. Does anybody know what to do and could help me?

Hello Kteko,
Connecting your iPhone to a power source and connecting to a Wi-Fi network can help complete the process.
After your settings and accounts are restored, your device restarts and begins downloading your purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content. You can use your device normally during this time, but if you receive an alert or are having trouble completing the restore, connect your device to a power source and make sure that it's connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi. Then wait until your device is restored to use it.
If you need help restoring an iCloud backup

Iphone won't download from itunes (purchases or updates) and keeps asking for password

My new Iphone 6 won't download from itunes, whether it is a new purchase, previous purchase or update. Itunes keeps asking for password. Icloud seems to be working, find my phone works, so what do I do? I've signed out and back in to the app store. Restarted my phone. Ugh!!

Google is your friend.

Then, click it again. It will download. Just wait, then delete it.

Music won't download from iCloud to iTunes or iPhone

So, I recently downloaded the new iTunes. And then I realized I have two copies of the same song (one I bought and one was ripped from a CD). I decided to delete one copy. However this deleted all the music from that artist (over one hundred songs, most ripped from CDs). Luckily, at the time, I had iTunes match. I tried to re-download all of my music. Only some of it began to load. I waited for all of that to download, and tried to get the rest. Again, only some of it worked. Now my iTunes match subscription has expired (I have no desire to renew it), some of my music is still missing, and none of it will start to load, but I still have the option to try to download the missing music from iCloud.
Most of the music that did download was music I bought from iTunes, but not all of it. I'm not sure if that's the problem, and I should just bust out my CD copies again or what, but I'd really like to know how I can get the rest of my music. I'd prefer the iCloud versions because then my play count won't be messed up and I organize my playlists by number of plays (so newest music is always first).

I suspect this is the reason you can not download any more music from the cloud.
Don't you have backups of your personal data you can restore from?

IPhone won't download from iTunes

My phone won't download stuff from iTunes. It will show it downloading all the way but then will say Download Error, tap to retry

Ah, if that's the case (which it could be) or if it was pulled too early, you may want to restore the device:

Photos mysteriously vanished and iphone won't restore from backup. iOS 6

Ok well hopefully someone has a good answer for this because I know numerous techs that currently work for apple that are going to have some very colorful stories to tell their familes over dinner about an irate customer they were trying to "help" earlier in the day. After updating to iOS 6 I suddenly realized that not only was every App, contact, and song missing but also every picture that I had on my phone. I began to sigh a sigh of relief when I realized that after syncing with itunes the Apps, contacts, and songs were replaced with great haste until I realized that I still had none of my pictures. Mind you alot of the pictures are saved in otehr locations on the computer and some to my email but there are several pictures of my twin baby girls that have been saved over the course of the last 8 months that were only on the camera roll. I looked into the issue a bit and found a solution that looked promising. Restore the iPhone 4s to the backup file that was made by iTunes that was before the pictures were all erased. Followed the manual perfectly only to recieve error messages about how there is not enough space on my hard drive to create a file. Not only is there more than enough space but the message itself is extremely confusing because I am not trying to make a file....I am trying to apply a file that is already on the C Drive to the iPhone through iTunes. I have manually went into my hard drive and located where the file is being kept. Mind you it is all encrypted but after the arduous task of adding up all of the little file's and big file's sizes I have come to the conclusion that this is indeed the backup file seeing as how before all my information got molested I had a little under a gig of space of my phones 13.5 capacity and after adding aaaaaaalllllll the files together in the "backup" folder I came out to a figure of ~12.5. If anyone is willing to or can help then please do because currently teh words irrate and ****** don't begin to illustrate the anger that is boiling within me at the thought of paying a company for a service and being a loyal customer and then having 8 months of memories ripped away because of some glitch or mishap. Thanks (to whoever can help, not to Apple ((Apple can rot and die for all I care)) )

Just had the same problem, did this and it worked.
Delete all of your previous backups, do an new backup from scratch, and then restore from the new backup.

Why does my Iphone fail to download from ICloud?

I run Windows 8.1 on an MSI motherboard. I have an Ihone 5 and use Itunes 11.2.2.3. It seems that no matter what I try Itunes will not keep my phone synched and most of my music is up on Icloud. There seems to be no way to pull it down and it fells like Apple prefers that I use the Verizon network to download the songs individually. Some how I believe this should not be the case. My phone should sync over the cable or the network depending on how it is selected in Itunes. I do not want any of those "download cloud Icons" in my library. What am I doing wrong?

-try turning on air plane mode then turn it off
-try hard reset home button + power tell you get a apple logo
-try signing out of your itunes account by going in to itunes the feature then to the bottom of the page and click your apple id

Email message won't download from server since installing IOS7

Some of my emails both on my iPad and iPhone won't download from server since installing IOS7!

I'm having the same problem with both my iPhone and iPad after installing iOS7. Checked all the settings and spoke to my email provider and everything is set up properly. It's hit or miss which messages don't download from the server too. And occasionally, a message that does download to my iPad, won't download on my iPhone. Everything on my PC downloads properly, it just seems to be an ios7 issue as this wasn't a problem before. My wife uses the same email provider and is still on iOS6.x with no issues. Any help or suggestions would be great.

You need to set up Photo Stream.
Only the photos you take now will be available in photo stream not photos you have taken before your icloud is active.

HT5824 photos taken on my Iphone are not appearing in ICloud/IPhoto. ( to my knowledge, the settings are set for "share/upload"

Photos taken on my Iphone do not appear in ICloud. I've checked the settings but am unable to determine
what, if anything, I need to do inorder to syn the photos.
Technically, I need to review the settings on my Iphone and ICloud that will enable a seamless transfer of photos.
Additionally, I need to review the computer (microsoft)setting that enable a sync of photos with ICloud.

Everything is fine, because there is no web application for photos at the moment. These are the options to view your Photo Stream:
-On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your photos will appear in the Photos app in the Photo Stream album.
-On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture.
-On a PC, your photos download to the Photo Stream download folder. By default, this folder is located at C:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
-On Apple TV, your photos will appear in the Photo Stream view under Internet in the main Apple TV menu after you sign in with your iCloud account.

My contacts on my iPhone won't sync to iCloud. Any suggestions??

Yes contacts is on and the account listed is the iCloud account (@me.com)
When I go onto iCloud the only contact there is my @me.com email. This account was set up so I could use iCloud but I also have a yahoo account on my iPhone if this has anything to do with it.
