Recover iCloud backup app data

Hi,
A while ago, I bought the app Stash to store and lock some data on an older Apple ID account. Unfortunately, my iPhone 4 was stolen, and I lost access to that older Apple ID account. Before it was stolen, I'd used a friend's iCloud account to make a backup, and this backup has the app data for Stash (mostly up to date; not much more was added into the app before my phone was stolen). I have a new iPhone 5S now, but the problem is, I can't access the old app data. The app data will not sync onto my new iPhone, since the app was bought on an account I no longer have access to.
I've tried a method on my new iPhone with the free version of the Stash app. By backing up to iTunes (making a local backup), I can use iBackup Viewer to extract all the data from the Stash app (so, honestly, it's not a very good app). I tried restoring my 5S to my iPhone 4's backup, but the app data for Stash won't sync, so I can't use that method.
My question is: is there any way I can get that data back from an iCloud backup, either by downloading it from iCloud, or trying to get the backup on my new phone (maybe I hadn't done it properly?) ? I feel like I should be able to- it is my data, after all - but sometimes this "advanced" cloud technology feels pretty dumb.
Thanks for you help

You have to setup your phone as new and restore from iCloud using the Apple ID with the iCloud backup. Then use a toold like iFunBox to extract the app data your need. Then again restore your phone as new using your primary account and paste the data back manually using iFunBox.

How does iCloud manage app data like whatsapp ? Does it overwrite the data everytime I backup to I cloud with the data on the phone or it merges the data from previous backups with the new data?

You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:

To transfer iTunes Store purchases made on your phone to your computer, connect your phone then choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.

How does apple Configurator Backup App data? Or does it at all?

Hello,
I use Apple Configurator at two schools. All of the iPads that the schools own are supervised via Apple Configurator.
How does the backup feature work in Apple Configurator? I know it backs up folders and photos and videos. But does it backup app data? And how?
I understand that apps themselves are not backed up. But if an iPad is completely wiped / restored via apple configurator / apps are put back on / then backup is restored.... when does the app data get re-applied (if it does at all?)
Mac OS 10.9.4
Apple Configurator Version 1.5 (424)
I know iTunes can backup and restore app data. My question is does Apple Configurator do it? And how / what is the best way?
Thank you.

When you boot yoru iMac, if you hold down the option key, at the boot meny, do you have an option for "Network" booting If so, then your machine didn't come with an install disc, it allows for internet restore form Apple servers (although it will need to perform the 4.7GB download if you use it).
If you run the Boot Camp Assistant, you should be presented with an option to download the windows support files from Apple servers. For machines which didn't come with install/restore discs, this is the way to get the files you need.

Corrupted backup. Unable to recover photos, texts, app data, etc.

I recently updated to iTunes 10.5. Prior to doing this I backed up my iPhone 4 but it said the backup was corrupt. I figured that I could still proceed since I backed up a few days ago. However, I was wrong. When I tried to restore my phone after the update it said the restore points were not found. I was forced to set up my phone as a new device. Is there any way to restore photos and other data that was on my phone prior to the update or are they lost forever?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi avalo995,
There is no way to remove all data bar the app data when restoring the official iPhone & iOS, if this data is stored then it is held in the backup file and restoring from the backup file will return all the data onto the phone.
As for the text messages, you can take screenshots of the texts (via holding home button and then clicking the sleep/wake button) and export them off the iPhone onto a computer where they can be synced back as pictures in the future.
The backup file can be moved from one system to another by copying it from the original backup location and pasting it into the correct location on the other computer. The backup file location can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Hope it helps.

How do i recover icloud backup onto windows pc?

Hi there
My iphones contents - photos emails etc
everything was backed up to icloud,
i no longer have an iphone as the motherboard went bad.
I want to recover my backup from icloud onto my Windows Pc.
How do i do this?

Your backup for iCloud can be accessed on your computer via the iCloud website. Once you log on using the AppleID that was used for iCloud on your device, you will be able access mail, contacts, calendar, notes, reminders, and documents. Photos cannot be accessed on the cloud directly. Hopefully you were regularly backing up your photos to iPhoto or to My Photos on your PC....
If not, then if you have another device on the same iCloud account with Photostream, or if you have iCloud set up on your computer, and you have iPhoto, then you can view the Photostream that way.
The iCloud backup process is used for downloading data to iDevices - not to computers....
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

HT4859 Does iCloud restore app data?

When I backup an iOS 5.1.1 device with iCloud and I restore it will I get my app data back( such as a game highscore)?

Only for those apps that you turned on in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. (All this on the device whose backup you want to configure.)

HT4859 Recover iCloud backup

I have lost my photos from my iPad. My backup on iCloud is old so should have some of those photos in it. How do I restore the backup to this existing device?

Troubleshooting an iCloud backup issue can take some time. Since you're pressed for time right now here's what I recommend you do:
Perform a manual backup to your computer using iTunes instead of iCloud. To do this, connect your phone to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up. When complete, go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and confirm that the backup is listed.
Sync you phone with iTunes to transfer all your purchases to your iTunes library.
Back up your contacts separately using the free app My Contacts Backup (paid version if >500 contacts). This will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself. If necessary, you can later open the email and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts to your computer.
Import your photos to your computer for safekeeping as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
When you get your replacement phone, during the initial setup, when given the option, select Restore from iTunes Backup. (This will restore much faster than an iCloud backup anyway.) When complete, sync it with iTunes to transfer your apps, music and other iTunes media to your phone. If your contacts don't restore from backup (which they often don't), open the email you made earlier and tap the attachment to import your contacts. Set up your existing iCloud account on your new phone during setup then turn you data syncing for contacts, calendars, etc. to On; if prompted when you do this, choose Merge.
This should get your new phone fully restored with your data and iCloud account. Then you can try backing it up to iCloud again and see if it succeeds this time. If not, try deleting your most recent iCloud backup and try again. If it still fails, post a new question and we'll take things from there.

Does icloud backup app folders?

So i have a lot of apps for many reasons. But i was wondering, since i have at least 15 folders filled with apps, does icloud back all this data up? so when i restore my apps and icloud backup, everything was as before? or do i have to re-arrange all apps yet once again to get them how they previuosly were...

The apps listed under Documents & Data are apps that are storing their data in your iCloud account (called "Documents in the Cloud"). These apps are syncing their data with iCloud so that you can share the data across multiple devices sharing the same iCloud account, such as saving a Pages document on your iPhone, then editing the same document on your iPad. This is separate from your backup. You won't see any evidence that the app data is being backed up, either on your phone or on icloud.com, beyond the fact that you can see that your turned the app to On under Backup Options. If it's turned on there, the app data will be included in your next iCloud backup, and will be restored to your phone should you ever need to restore your iCloud backup.

HT4859 Garbage on iCloud backup file date/time

There is garbage in my Date & Time reference for my iPad. How can I correct this? Thanks

You can't selectively restore from a back up, you need to restore everything or nothing.

Had to restore iPad2 from itunes after IOS8 update with no option to restore from icloud backup.

since i lost everything on my ipad due to the IOS8 update, i thought i'd try to do a manual restore from my icloud backup, but the only backup listed is one from the day i did the update/restore. i'm pretty sure it's not going to help me recover everything that i lost since it's only 1.8gb. i know my ipad backed up to the cloud every couple of weeks when i charged it, so shouldn't there be other backup dates available? also, when i go to settings>icloud>manage storage>ipad, the backup options list every app i had on my ipad before the update/restore, but those apps are no longer on my ipad, so i'm not sure why they're listed in the backup options. apparently i can't even contact apple to help with this issue without paying $20, and i live 2 hours away from the closest apple store. any thoughts?

My philosophy is if you lost everything already anyway, you have nothing to lose by restoring the iCloud backup at this point. Besides, your apps will download from iCloud, if you were truly backing up with iCloud and not using iTunes. Apps are not part of the backup, app data is.
I would give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you are no worse off than you are now. But - your apps should still all download from the cloud even if the data is gone.

Reset Contacts/ Restore only app data

My situation is very complicated, and when I fully explained I got very few views and no answers.
Basically the file that holds my contacts is corrupted. I need one of the following solutions:
-Name and path of the contacts file on my iPhone
-Delete contacts file in backup (held on mac)
-Way to only backup app data (because I can restore everything else via iCloud sync)
The following tricks don't work:
-telling to delete all synced data
-replace iPhone with MobileMe contacts
-replace iPhone with Mac contacts
-deleting and re-importing all contacts
-app to delete all contacts or selected contacts
Sooner the better. Basically I need this fix because all interactions with these contacts don't show in apps. All interactions show as if they come from someone I don't know..
-texts show phone numbers instead of names
-missed calls show numbers instead of name
Real desperate. Please help

It looks like selecting Restore again forced iTunes to load the 3rd party apps onto my iPhone. Strange!

ICloud backup size?

I'm new to iCloud, and just wondering about the backup size. I have 4.5 GB of apps on my iPad, however when i back the iPad up to iCloud, it only shows a total backup size (including everything) of 150 MB. Isn't this supposed to backup app data as well as the base app itself? Or do I need to flick an option somewhere? Thanks.

iCloud Backup does not backup what can be downloaded from iCloud again,
see: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo streams, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.
So if your app stores all data in iCloud, it will count against your cloud storage, but not use backup storage. An backup to iTunes will include more items.
