Restore to MBP from old iCloud backup

I have had 3 different iPhone 5s.  I had a backup in iCloud back in April from my original phone.  I have a Macbook Pro as well.  I would like to restore some of the information saved on that first backup to my MBP.  I had a lot of pictures on that first phone that I have never recovered.  Is it possible? 
Thank you
Deborahlo

You cannot restore ios backups on icloud to a mac.  Macs do not back up to nor restore from icloud, that's only for iDevices.

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.

    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes

  • I lost all my contacts. How do i restore my phone from an icloud backup?

    I lost all my contacts. How do i restore my phone from an icloud backup?

    I tried to restore from the cloud today after my contacts disappeared.  I went to Settings-ICloud-Contacts and turned off my contacts.  Now the phone is stuck on "Turning off contacts."  Apple wants my serial number, etc., to help, but I can't get that info from my phone because....it's stuck on "Turning off contacts!"  I really hate IOS 7.

    Restore the backup.  Backups are all or nothing.
    If notes were synced to iCloud, simply sync them.

  • I recently updated my Iphone 5s to ios8 from ios7(.something) and lost all photos, text messages, etc. and then restored it using an old Icloud backup from 2014. I want to change the Icloud backup to one from this year.

    Is it possible to do this, and how? My iphone 5s is still restoring currently in the Backup settings and there's an option that says "Stop restoring Iphone" if I tap it, it says "any data that has not been downloaded will not be restored or backed up in the future"... AND I KNOW that if I update my iphone from ios7 to ios8 that it is a big jump and is the reason why I lost everything on it. So please don't tell me that is the answer to my question, because it's not. I am clearly asking if I can change the icloud backup date from 2014 to one from this year. This is because my iphone asked me which backup I want to use to restore my stuff from after the ios8 update. I hope this question isn't too confusing!!

  • Getting back my photos from old iCloud backup

    Both my laptop and iPhone got stolen (life ***** )
    It was iPhone 4 and I had it regullary backed up to iCloud.
    Next I bought a new iPhone5 and started using it as new device (didn't restore the iPhone4 backup). It has it's own iCloud backup (so currently my iCloud got 3 backups: iPhone5, iPad and iPhone4 - which i don't have the device).
    Also bought a new laptop... (meaning no old iTunes backup)
    So, only place I have a backup of the last 3 years images+videos are inside my old iPhone4 backup on iCloud.
    Question: how do I pull this backup out of iCloud without: A. formatting my iPhone5, B. buying some old iPhone4 on eBay just so I restore the old backup to it.
    Thanks!

    You can't. iCloud backups are not viewable or editable. If you want the data, you'll have to restore it to an iOS device in order to get it.

  • I deleted an app by mistake. when I tried to restore my phone from my icloud backup it wasn't there.  I need an older backup. How long are they kept?? Thank you

    I delted an app by mistake.  when i tried to restore my phone from icloud I need an older backup. How long are they kept?? I'd like to get this app and it's contents back.
    thanks

    Apple states that it keeps your last 3 iCloud backups, which would only go back a few days if you back up daily.  Also, apps are not stored in the backup, only your app data is.  The backup simply notes which apps were on your phone when it was backed up, then downloads them from the App store when you restore the backup.  If the app is no longer available in the App store, it will not be restored to the phone when you restore the backup.

  • Recovering data from old iCloud backups of iPhone & iPad

    Hello.  I had an iPad and iPhone stolen several months ago while traveling.  They had been backed up in iCloud, and appear as device backups in my "manage" page in iCloud viewed on my laptop.  Upon returning home I purchased a new iPad and iPhone, and started using them, assuming the old data lost.  My son pointed out that the old data is still available on iCloud.  But I don't want to erase my new iPad and & iPhone by restoring the old backups.  How do I just download my old photos & documents onto my laptop?

    There is no way to do that if they are iCloud backups. If the backups are on your computer you use one of the many backup extractor programs that you can find with an Internet search. If you restore an older iCloud backup it will erase all of the content on your phone and replace it with the contents of the backup.

  • Restore new ipod from old ipod backup

    I am trying to restore a new ipod touch gen. 4 from a backup of my old ipod touch gen. 4  They are the exact same ipod (the first one got crushed).  After completing the restore process, the computer recognizes the ipod but then immediately asks me to "set up your ipod" and wants me to either set it up as a new component or restore AGAIN.  It will not get passed this step.  I can not sync, etc.  HELP!!!!!

    Connect to iTunes, Control-click on the iPhone icon in left frame of iTunes and select "Restore from Backup."

  • Help! Can I restore pictures ONLY from an iCloud backup?

    I had to do total reset / restore on my daughters iphone 4 due to something bogging it down. I backed up to iTunes and to iCloud. The phone works great, like brand new now that it's without all the apps and other garbage she had on there. I would like to only restore her pictures (I've already restored the contacts somehow) I do not want to restore all the previous settings and taking the chance of bogging the phone down again. Is there any way to restore JUST the pictures back to her iphone from either iTunes or iCloud?

    No, when you restore from a back up it will bring the information in that back up onto your device.  There is no picking and choosing unless you manually move information onto your device.
    Is what I would recommend doing is to restore from the back up, import the pictures/videos onto a computer, then restore the device and set up as new then move the pics back onto the phone.
    The reason the contacts are back is because Contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notess and some other stuff are not stored within the back up.  For instance, I could hand you a brand new phone with nothing on it and you could sign into Settings > iCloud on your device and it would automatically bring that information onto your device.

  • How do i retrieve my text messages from an icloud backup?

    I updated my phone to ios 6.1.3 6 days ago and last night i noticed when i looked at my phone all my text messages were erased. I had messages going back 3 years ago and ive lost it all. I noticed my Phone had updated to the Icloud in the morning and in the evening everything disappeared so im hoping i can still get it all back if i can restore from my Icloud. When i go to restore on Itunes it wants to restore from my computer which was 6 days ago. HOw do i switch it over to resotre from my Icloud backup?
    Thanks

    You cannot retrive individual peices of data from an icloud backup. You will have to go to settings>general>reset>erase all content and settings. Then during the setup assistant, you will have to Restore the device from the Icloud backup.
