So how did you do it?

  • How can I restore data from iCloud

    My iPad locked up last night and I had to restore to factory settings to make it operable.  During the process it asked me if I wanted to restore my data and it told me that the latest and only backup was from a few minutes before that time which was AFTER all my stuff got wiped out.  I was able to resync some apps and all my music from iTunes, but I lost a ton of pictures and other files that I thought were SUPPOSED to be safe on iCloud.
    So I start reading about restoring data from iCloud and apparently Apple only does this on a NEW device.  What a load of crap!
    Does anyone have any idea how I can get my data from the stupid iCloud to my stupid iPad?

    The "Apple data" such as contacts, calendars, notes, etc. are not backed up to an iCloud backup, since they reside in the special databases on iCloud.  If you delete some data from a device (e.g. one contact), it is deleted from that device, from iCloud's database and thus from all other devices connected to that iCloud account.
    Hence performing a restore from an iCloud backup will not help.
    However, if that data was ever on a computer (assuming the computer also synced data from iCloud) and if you consistently perform backups using something like Time Machine on a mac or any number of backup programs on Windows, then you should be able to restore the data from that backup.  For example, on a mac, invoke the contacts app then choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine icon on the main toolbar.  That will allow you to go back in time and choose an older backup to restore.
    If you have an iTunes backup on the computer, I'm not really sure that also includes the Apple data stored on iCloud.  It should have the local data.  For example, Contacts can be under "iCloud" or "On My Mac" (or whatever computer you use).  An iTunes restore should restore the data on your computer.
    The whole idea regarding an iCloud backup is that if your device ever fails and must be replaced or reset, the backup will restore all the data as it was at the time of the last backup.   The restore will return all the device's settings such as iCloud login, on/off states of data to connect to (like contacts).  Once that's done, the device will connect to iCloud and download the current data.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

    Hi,
    The simplest solution would to restore from your back up - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    If you do not have a back, you can select first track on list in song view, from menu > edit > select all. Next ctrl+click and select download from pop up. You may wish to do this in small batches as it will take some time to download.

  • I work in a hospital and cannot download or listen to my purchased  music from iCloud.

    I work in a hospital where I cannot download my purchased (over 2+ yrs) music from iCloud. I can get all it when away from work. Also I just got hit with more usage charges while trying to do downloads at work. 

    Hi lorrina,
    Why not just sign onto your iTunes account on the desk top, and download the songs? Are you looking under the correct "Purchased" option? Click on the iTunes Store. Once the Store is open, click on Purchased under Quick Links.
    You will then see a window come up with tabs for Music, Apps, Movies, etc. Click on Music, click on Songs, click on "Not on this Computer". You should see a list of all of your purchased music with a little cloud that has a down arrow in the middle of it next to each song. Click on selected songs to download them, or click on "Download All" at the bottom of the screen.
    Cheers,

    how can i restore data from icloud to iphone

    You mean an iCloud backup?  If so, first make sure your phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the device that backed up was running.  If it isn't, you'll have to update it first in order to restore the backup.
    Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    You have two separate questions here...
    To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
    I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

    how do I get all my music from icloud to my itunes on my computer and my iphone and stop using icloud?

    Hi,
    You music is not in your iCloud account, it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Whether you use iCloud personally or not, it will not have an effect on the iTunes in the Cloud functionality. If you are using iTunes, then all of your purchases through iTunes will use iTunes in the Cloud as a backup for your purchases.

  • Okay so i had an iphone 5.  I backed it up on icloud. Then i got the new iphone 5s i restored ot from icloud from my previous iphone 5.  Now everything works find execept now the games are slowy and drops the frame rate and look choppy. Please help.

    Okay so i had an iphone 5.  I backed it up on icloud. Then i got the new iphone 5s i restored ot from icloud from my previous iphone 5.  Now everything works find execept now the games are slowy and drops the frame rate and look choppy. Then i restarted my iphone 5s as a new device downloaded the same apps even the ones optimized for ios 7 and the games still lag. And i just got my iphone 5s replace.  The funny thing is.  While im playing games and their running choppy and slow and if i take a snap shot inside the phone. They run smooth and HD but just for a few seconds and boom they go back to slow and choppy.  Is it the ios 7 or the iphone 5s it self? Like i said this is my replacement iphone 5s because the other 5s did the same thing. And it was running slowly.

    As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
    You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
    I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

  • My laptop died. I had music in the Cloud. When trying to sync my phone to the new labptop that is holding my music library I get a notice that says need to access music from ICloud. HOW???

    My laptop died. My phone had my entire library on it. I set up a new laptop for my phone but when I try to sync the phone I get a note that says I must access my music from ICloud. I can't figure out how to do it?  Also, all my purchased music is showing up in my library on my computer but NOT all the music I had in my old library.  Any ideas?

    Your music will only be where you put it.
    Did you copy all of your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one?

    how do i get my music from icloud to my itunes library

    Download it in iTunes from your purchased list, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    If the music is on your phone, another option is to authorize your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
