Restore photos with multiple iCloud backups
I lost a couple iPhones and had iCloud backups for each. I can see on my iPhone that there was a backup for each of the phones. How do I access the data stored in each (particularly the photos) and load them into my current iPhone?
You would have to restore the entire backups to access the photos. If you have data on your phone now that you want to save, you would need to back it up to your computer using iTunes, then restore the first iCloud backup, import the recovered photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore the second backup and import those photos to your computer too, then restore your original backup from your computer using iTunes to return your phone to it's current state. Then you could put all the recovered photos in a folder and sync them to your phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTuens sync settings and syncing.

I deleted some videos from my iPad mini. Can I restore them with my icloud backup
Please help. I deleted some videos I need. If i reset my iPad mini will I be able to restore with my icloud backup.
If they were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them. The backup will, of course, overwrite any newer data on your iPad so if you want to keep it you'll need to save it before restoring the backup.

i had problems with it being very slow even thought I deleted all my music and pics and even a lot of apps so I figured I'd reset it and restore from the backup I have on iTunes. but after aksing for my apple id and then being forced to change my password, it also asked me to associate an email with the account.after all that when I try to restore it says it has a problem. I can't remember the exact message I get.
I set it up as a new ipad thinking I'd try and use iTunes to retrieve it. but it doesn't look like I can do it that way either.haven't synced with a my laptop in a while.Find Apple ID

My daughter accidentally reset her ipod4 to factory settings so I restored from the last iCloud backup. All her photos were on camera roll so I believe they should have automatically been backed up, but none have been restored. Why?
When she plugged in the ipod last night it backed up again so that now shows as the latest backup. No previous backups are listed so I do not seem to have the option to rerun the old one. She had many pictures on the camera roll taken from well before July. I can only presume that the backup in July must have been incomplete - but then I didn't think it was supposed to list as an option to restore from. Luckily many of the photos had been backed up on the pc but I am very frustrated as to why the icloud backup didn't protect them. Thank you for your advice though, I appreciate it.

My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox. I kept getting a IMAP error. How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?
It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues. What I would suggest you do is the following:
If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted. This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on. This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now. -
Photos missing from iCloud backup
Hi, I used to have a 4s with photos on and it started to lose wifi connection which meant iCloud backups were hit and miss. On occasion I tried to reset my phone to rectify the wifi issue and when restoring from an old iCloud backup some photos were missing as the restore went from the earliest back up and the photos weren't there.
Where are these photos now and is it possible to access them on the iCloud?
I now have a 5s and the same iCloud account.Sorry Rich
You might want to check your Backup settings as well, and make sure that the Photo Library is turned on under Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage>click on your Device, and you will see the list of items that are checked to be backed up. If Photo Library is not turned on, you want to turn it on.
For importing in the future, you can either import to your computer or upload them to a cloud storage like Dropbox:
PHOTO IMPORT IOS TO MAC/PC
Once they have been imported to a computer, they can be selectively sync'd back via iTunes:
SYNCING PHOTOS VIA ITUNES
Best of luck, and sorry about your photos....

HT1414 How do I restore from an earlier icloud backup that is not showing up for my ipad?
How do I restore from an earlier icloud backup that is not showing up for my ipad?
You can't. Usually you have only the most recent backup to choose from (I do). Some users has said they get 3 to choose from (this is the max as stated in Apple literature). You can't go back further than that.
The usual advice is that all photos should be synced to a computer (too many users have lost some/all their photos doing a restore - don't trust them solely to icloud). If you've been doing that, you can find them on your computer. -

IPhone 5: Restoring Camera Roll from iCloud Backup.
When restoring all data from iCloud Backup, Camera Roll never finished downloading. It was stuck at 5 out of 715. How can I restore Camera Roll from iCloud Backup now that the initial "start up" Restore is complete?
Got my photos & videos back into camera roll! I woke this morning and all 701 were there. This is a few less than the most recent backup had, but good enough. So, there were a few things flakey about my experience restoring from iCloud. Therefore as many, including yourself have noted, iCloud IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A TRUSTED METHOD for backing up, storing or restoring photos & videos. If your photos & videos are important to you, backup to your computer at regular intervals.
What worked?
1: Following randers4's suggestion to review ezjules' post (see above for link).
2: When the most recent backup failed, I went to the next one available (2 days old)
3: When the Photo App displaying X of XXX images downloading in camera roll got hung up on the first few images, I powered down the phone and it resumed downloading more. However, it hung up 2 more times and then proceeded while I went to bed.
4: Phone was plugged into A/C outlet entire time, no incoming or outgoing phone calls or texts.
I am no longer going to back up photos or videos to the cloud. I will also cancel my additional storage capacity on iCloud. Why pay for secure storage that is so flakey?!? -
How to restore Data from past iCloud backup? I lost my spreadsheets from Numbers, need help.
How to restore Data from past iCloud backup?
Is there a way where i can retrieve my spreadsheets from the past iCloud backup of numbers?Your Numbers documents were synced with iCloud so they would be stored on the server rather than being included in the backup. If you were signed into your iCloud account on a Mac that you were backing up with Time Machine, you could restore them from your Time Machine backup.

I live in a house with multiple iCloud users. When they try to turn on "Find my computer" they get the message that they will have to disable my "find my computer" setting in order to enable theirs. How can they all be enabled at the same time?

I have an iPad Mini which after charging has now frozen with the iCloud Backup text box in the middle of the screen and OK 'button' registers when tapped but remain locked with nothing operating. It is fully charged.
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hi, i have an iPad4 and for the last two days it has been stuck with the iCloud Backup pop up. I cant click on OK or turn it off. It has been connected to a wifi network and left locked and plugged in all day. Any one got any ideas please?
Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

My ipad screen is frozen, with the icloud backup message (this ipad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks ect)
Holding both worked for me as well. The problem occurred immediately after going back to the Apple store. Just purchased the ipad2 and the next day the view account button on data settings disappeared. They had to upload latest update and that resored it. The next day icloud froze the screen. Hopefully this fixes it.
