Restored device - no apps or music came back from iCloud

I had the red dot circle issue with my music and followed the instructions to restore my device.   I have iCloud backup and restored from there.  However, I have no music now, no apps.  The only things that came back are my photos and contacts.  Help!!!

No, the backup doesn't contain music, videos, apps, etc. You have to sync to get them back into your phone. For info about backups and what they contain, see this support article:

    If you tried to restore to your iCloud backup and your photos didn't fully restore, first go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure it isn't still in the process of restoring.
    If the restore is complete and all your photos weren't restored, all you can do is try restoring the backup again.  You might try the solution posted by ezjules in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This involves opening the photos app after the phone restarts and you provide the passwords for your Apple IDs, then leaving it open for the remainder of the restore process.

  • The sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

    the sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

    Do you get sound on any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If you do then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • 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 get my camera roll back from iCloud?

    I restored my iPhone and now I need to get my camera roll back from iCloud..please tell me how to do that..Thank you

    That's true. You can only restore complete backups.
    I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
    - made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
    - restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
    - My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
    - Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
    The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
    I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

    Restore From Time Machine Backup
    Reinstall OS X
    Get Help Online
    Disk Utility
    MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
    You are running 10.5.8
    Did you try booting off your Install disk holding the c key down.  From here you can get to the drop down menu just a few clicks in (you are not going to install) and run  the Disk Utility>Repair Disk.  See if it will let you do this.

    if i delete camera roll from iCloud to free some space, did i loose my photos?

    What exactly have you deleted.
    If you have deleted the photos from your camera roll on your device, then you may well have lost them, assuming that they are not also in photo stream.
    Please tell is exactly what you deleted and from where.

  • How do i get my photos back from icloud

    HELP!!! I think this maye be of no use but.. I brought a new iphone on the weekend in sydney and I started using it right away and click on use icloud. I took many photos over the weekend and when I got home (sleep deprived) i plugged it into my laptop and it restored and went back to the settings of my old iphone wipping ALL my photos and videos of the weekend. Just wondering is there anyway I can get my photos and back from iCloud??? Thanks in advance...

    There is a chance that those pictures may still download after couple of hours if you had your photostream on the new phone and if you turn it on now. Usually there is 30 days backlog in icloud photostream.

  • HT4906 How do I delete photos that were in my Camera Roll from iCloud? I deleted them on my phone, but I'm still getting the notification that my iCloud backup is almost full.

    After getting the notification that my icloud backup space was running out on my iphone5, I deleted 300 photos from my Camera Roll. But it didn't increase any space in my icloud storage. How do I remove those photos from my icloud storage without deleting the rest of the Camera Roll from icloud backup?

    Does this involve iPhoto for the Mac in any way?
    If your backup space is full then the best souiton is to increase the amount of space you have by purchasing more since backups are critical to not losing things
    You can not remove things from iCloud directly
    Your question I believe belongs in the iCloud forum - possibly in the iPhone forum - unless there is somehting I do not see here it does not belonge here in the iPhoto for Mac forum

    I recently had to send my iphone off for repair and when I have got it back it has been reset to factory settings. Can I get my phonos,music etc back through icoulds ?

    If your backup is incomplete you won't be able to use it.  Do you have any backups on your computer?  (You can check by opening iTunes and going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices on a PC).  That will list any available backups on your computer.
