Trouble with icloud restoring

Hello,
I have restored my iphone setup via iCloud here with iphone 6th
But now 4 hours after standing still when the screen is locked to restore from iCloud and it does not do anything or downloaded anything.
I have updated to 8.0.2 via computer, because it could not be updated because it stood was about to restore.
What could be causing and how do I fix it?
Thomas

Apple's explaination of this warning message is:
"This message is provided if you decide to cancel a background restore. If you proceed you will need to restore again to get all your data on your device, or download your music, apps, and other data again in another way. The best way to avoid this is to not cancel a background restore. If you do cancel a restore, make sure you have copies of the data that was not restored. If you wish to restart a canceled restore, you will need to erase all the content and settings on your device and reinitiate the restore during the iOS Setup Assistant."
My interpretation of this is that if you cancel the restore, the remaining data in the backup will not be restored to your phone until you restore again, unless you have copies of the missing data that you can restore to your device another way (such as by syncing). I believe you'll be able to restore the backup again, you will just need to go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go back through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore to iCloud backup and this time enter the correct iCloud ID.

Trouble with iCloud restore - should I "Stop restoring iPhone"?

I had to replace my iPhone 4 and am restoring from an iCloud backup, but I changed my Apple ID email address just prior to getting iCloud set up. My phone won't complete the restoration until I enter the password for my Apple ID - but it's the old email address that they're asking for the password with. This is the wrong account ID email, so the password isn't accepted. (The old Apple ID email address didn't even have iCloud!) The restore won't complete without me entering my password, but the iPhone also won't let me change my Apple ID to the correct, new Apple ID email address while my phone is still restoring, saying:
"You cannot delete your iCloud account because your account is being restored" - I take this to mean that I can't switch it to the proper ID while my phone is still restoring. However, if I elect to "Stop Restoring iPhone" from the options under "Storage and Backup" - it gives me an "are you sure" screen that says "Stop Restoring iPhone? Any data that has not been downloaded will not be restored or backed up in the future." Well most of my stuff has not completed downloading - it needs me to enter my password for that - nor have any of my pictures, which is what I am most worried about.
If I press "Stop Restoring iPhone" so that I can change it to the correct Apple ID, will this cause me to lose the data that I've been trying to restore forever? This seems like the only way I can change it to the correct Apple ID... but the warning message makes me very nervous.

Trouble with iCloud

Trouble with iCloud:
Equipment:   Mac mini, OSX 10.7.4
                    iPod iOS 5.1.1
I have done and then repeatedly reread the iCloud instructions on each.
          I have up to date copies of Pages running on both devices.
The Pages documents appear on both devices when I look at the iCloud display. There appears no way to download these documents on the Mac mini.    I have tried to upload current documents written on Mac mini (including this one) with no success. There appears to be no ‘save to Cloud’ function.   In addition, there appears to be no way to give a document made on the iPod its own name. I have Blank, Blank 1, Blank 2 etc.
The other iPod application that is using iCloud is DraftPad
I have no way to determine if Calendar information is going through iCloud or if it is going back and forth by way of the normal synchronization process.    On the iCloud display I have checked Calendars and Documents & Data on both devices.   There is no    active usage storage indicator bar at the bottom of the display.    When I look at Management storage I have Pages 2 MB, Mail 1.4 KB, DraftPad 1.4KB   and Backups 0KB. (I am keeping Time Machine backups on separate external hard drive).
As it stands iCloud is useless and not generating much confidence with me. I think I would be much happier to make other arrangements. I’m considering an attempt to cancel my use of iCloud.

On the Mini go to icloud.com, sign in.
- To upload to an iOS iWorks app click on iWorks and then oh the app you want. Then click on the gear icon in the upper rihgt.. You have option to upload. To download, clcikonthe docuyment you want to download and a download button will appear.
- To check the Clalender and otheriClud serves, just click in them after signing in to icloud.com.

Is anyone having trouble with iCloud email?

I am using iCloud for all of my mail. I use it on iCloud.com and also with iMail. I use it for my iPhone, iMac and MacBook Pro. For the past three days I have been having a terrible time receiving email from my personal friends. I can get email from commercial entities like DirectTV, Facebook, ASPCA, etc. but nothing when my friends try to email me. I have spent several hours on the phone with Apple advanced tech support but it's still not working and I am supposed to call them back today. After changing many settings, the tech told me it might be a corrupt email address and we would completely remove my email address from my computer and type it in fresh which we did. I then was able to send myself a test email and I did receive that. I am still able to send and receive to myself. I then went to my neighbor and did the same thing on his computer with my email address, removed it completely and then put it in anew. Then I sent myself an email from his computer but it didn't work. I haven't received the email. I have asked several people to email me today. I did not receive any of their emails but am still receiving emails from other entities. A friend of mine said they are having trouble with iCloud but when I asked the tech, he said he wasn't aware of it. So, I have no idea if it's something on my computer or if there is a problem with iCloud. Can anyone help me out? It's so discouraging. Thanks much.
By the way, this problem exists on all my products -- iPhone, MacBook Pro as well as my iMac

I'm having the same problem, except I'm not receiving ANY email (not even from businesses etc). This has been going on for a week now. I had not upgraded my OS, so that cannot be the cause. It was just suddenly not receiving emails. I can send, but cannot receive. I can log in to icloud.com but when I select MAIL, it will not load, and says application not availble. Today, I opened Mail Preferences and added a email account using my same email address ([email protected]) and it worked fine, gathered all my missing emails. But it was using the name iCloud instead of my name, and created a new mailbox for all the mail. I want to use my mailbox I've used for years...so I deleted it. It was just a test, but don't really know what was accomplished because my original email still does not receive mail.
Last week I had sent a msg to Apple Support about the problem, and got a reply...so I think they know there is a problem. Perhaps they just don't know what the solution is so will not acknowledge the issue yet.
I'm still waiting for a solution, too. Extremely inconvenient, most of us rely heavily on email.

Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.

Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine. Can you tell me why Photo Stream will not stay enabled. When I reboot, it will disable not to mention that it will not get any pushed photos. Is there a 64 bit version?

Hello tw_mama,
I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and found an article that may shed some light on the subject. It's called iCloud: Account troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
This section in particluar:
I get an "Unsupported Apple ID" error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works in the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or with other Apple Services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you cannot use your Apple ID with any Apple Services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
All the best,
Sterling

I have an iPhone and just goy I pad but no computer I'm trying to synch them together but having trouble with iCloud and I can't seem to subscribe for iTunes match from either devise

You first have to subscribe to iTunes Match through iTunes on your computer and have your music library in iTunes uploaded/matched before you can enable it on your iOS devices (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). Without a computer you won't be able to use iTunes Match.

Anyone having trouble with iCloud? It first started on my iPhone5; it's not connecting to iCloud. Tells me I need to reset my password, but won't let me reset my password

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Troubles with iCloud/Appleid

I have recently changed email addresses, so I updated my appleid through iTunes. I am able to purchase things, so I know it is working, but I am having trouble getting iCloud to recognize it. I have read these forums looking for answers, but nothing seems to be working. I signed out of iCloud on my mac and iPhone, but when I try to sign in with my new id it tells me that the usename and/or password are incorrect. Any insight?
Thanks!

Hey Dorian O.,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving notifications on your Mac to approve iCloud keychain. Have you tried using your iCloud security code or your SMS-capable device instead?:
Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204085
How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device without another device to approve from?
If you can't access any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
Your iCloud Security Code
The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you can't access this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity, so that you can complete setup on your new device.
After you complete the setup, your iCloud Keychain will be pushed from the cloud to the new device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Over the Air Deployment with iCloud Restore

Most of my devices are unsupervised, I plan on taking the summer to Restore all the devices and then using a MDM to redepoloy them to the users in the fall using iCloud Restore.
My pilot case has hit a snag, If I create and icloud backup then restore the device with iTunes. I can initiate the OTA enrollment but it will not install any configuration profiles if I use the icloud restore. If I use new ipad or if I restore to a different devcie it works fine.
How to I get this to work so my students can use the restore feature and still get their original device back?
thanks

I'd be careful with access to find my iPhone
if users use their personal account with find my iPhone and iOS 7
You wont be able to restore without the users iTunes account login and password
Presuming your mdm solution has some sort of web based user portal.You might have to get the students to re enrol the device themselves if the device has been wiped, and a iCloud restore has been performed.
That should re install the certs and whatever profiles you have setup, you'd also have to have some sort of firewalled
provisioning wifi the students could access from the ipad to allow them to access the MDM for device re enrolment

Trouble with image restore on dreamweaver cs3

Set up new iPhone 5 with iCloud restore, then iTunes created new library with only content already on phone. How do I find and sync everything in original library?

My daughter got a new iPhone 5 and we set it up using the option to restore her iPhone 4 backup from iCloud. This worked great and everything on the old phone showed up on the new phone. Because we were traveling, we weren't able to sync the iPhone 5 with iTunes at that time.
She purchased new apps and music on the iPhone 5. When we returned home she synced with iTunes, and it seems to have created a new library, with only the content currently on the phone. I don't know if it prompted her to do this on the first sync or not - she doesn't remember.
So in iTunes, the library now only shows the music on the phone. A sync isn't doing much now because when choosing the phone in iTunes and selecting each content type across the top (Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows) the box is unchecked to sync that content. When I check the box to "Sync Music", iTunes gives a warning:
Are you sure you want to sync music? all existing songs and playlists on the iPhone Becca's iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library.
Same goes for apps, except that warning also mentions that the apps and their data will be erased and replaced.
At some point she was also getting a message that this iPhone was associated with another library, but I'm not sure how she had triggered that. She says she canceled out of that. I can see all of the music
How do we get iTunes to see the "old" library of songs, videos and apps without losing the ones she's purchased already on the iPhone? The music files themselves are still on the computer, and include music both purchased from iTunes as well as music ripped from CDs. Thanks for any advice!

Trouble with iCloud 2 factor authentication in outlook app

I am using 2 factor authentication on my iCloud account. I recently downloaded and setup Microsoft's new outlook app on my iPhone and iPad. I find it very useful for what I like to do. I added all of my email accounts as well as dropbox and other things with no issue (gmail, outlook, and dropbox have 2 factor enabled as well). I generated a passcode for iCloud on the 'manage apple ID' site. I inputted it into the iPhone first and it worked like a charm. Then, however, I did the same thing on my iPad. Initially, I generated a new passcode, and used that for the iPad. It worked, but then when I used the iPhone I got the message "We are having trouble accessing your account. Please login again." And it brings up the window to put in the passcode. I thought it might work if I used the same password for both the iPad and iPhone but the same thing happens. As soon as I put a passcode in one the other stops working.
Some more details in case it is relevant. I use outlook on the PC as well (also uses generated iCloud passcode), and it is unaffected. As I said, I use other accounts with 2 factor, and they all work fine on both the iPad and iPhone in the same app. I am using an iPhone 6 Plus and a 4th Gen iPad, both running iOS 8.1.3. I am nowhere near the maximum generated app passwords under iCloud. I am receiving an email each time I generate a passcode and it shows up in my history. I am giving the passcodes different names.

Hi,
You'll have to create an App-specific password to work around this.
Go to: https://appleid.apple.com/account/home
Select: Manage your Apple ID
Log in with your credentials and if applicable your Verification Code
Select: Password and Security
Select: Generate an App-Specific password
You'll have to give the app a name. You can use the generated password for Outlook. You can use the same password on all of your iDevices that has Outlook for iOS if applicable.
Have fun

Major bug with iCloud restore and the multitasking menu that compromises privacy.

Hello there,
I very rarely post on these forums but I’ve discovered what I think is a pretty serious bug. I’ve already sent this as feedback to apple but id be interested to know if anybody else is able to re-create it or has already stumbled across the problem.
I have been able to recreate this problem twice by creating an icloud backup on an iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0) and restoring to an iphone 6 (iOS 8.0).
The problem has to do with the multitasking snapshots that appear after double clicking the home button. On the iPhone it is my understanding that there can be up to 3 ‘different’ snapshots based on when the home button is double clicked and the orientation of an app:
a) The first is when you have an app open in portrait mode and then close it or click the home button to exit. Double clicking the home button from the home screen will then display the multitasking menu including a portrait snapshot of what was last seen in that app.
b) The next is when you're in an app that supports landscape mode and double click the home button whilst ‘in app.’ This displays a multitasking menu with landscape snapshots showing what was last seen when apps were open in landscape (note that if apps can only be shown in portrait than this is the image that will be shown and it will appear sideways).
c) Finally, there is the case when you have an app open in landscape and then directly close it or press the home button, and then double press the home button. This displays a multitasking menu with portrait snapshots; however, to my knowledge these snapshots never change (they will not show the last snapshot from when the app was last open in portrait mode).
The bug is that after restoring from iCloud, the snapshot as described in ‘C’ scenario gets set to whatever was in the icloud backup for scenario ‘A.’ Because this snapshot cannot be changed it is a major bug if for instance you have personal information in the snapshot. In my case, I have my bank statement permanently appear in the snapshot for scenario C.
What’s more, if I have safari is in landscape and then close it; then at some point I open the multitasking bar before opening safari again in portrait mode; then the snapshot flashes up in the actual app for around 1-2 second before disappearing.
At the moment the only solution I can see is to setup my iPhone as new but this will be a major hassle and lose all my settings etc.
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that I think this is a bug across all ios devices with multitasking; however, with the ipads there is an easy solution because you are able to orientate the home screen in multiple ways. This means its possible to update the snapshots in a way that you can’t do on the iPhone because the home screen is locked to portrait.

so to clarify, it appears that the multitasking snapshot for the following scenario will not update: open safari and turn to landscape, exit safari using home button or multitasking bar, then double press home button. That snapshot that appears for safari doesn't ever seem to refresh. Whatever is there is stuck there and whats more it will always pop up in the actual browser for 1-2 secs the next time safari is opened after completing those steps. Im not sure when the snapshot is initially created - it must be the first ever time you close safari but as I said in my post, it also appears to be stored in iCloud backups. So I've tried:
a) hard resetting
b) clearing safari cache and history
c) resetting all settings
d) restoring from iCloud (as mentioned)
e) opening and closing closing safari using the multitasking menu (both the landscape multitasking menu that appears when you're actually in safari in landscape mode, and the multitasking menu that appear when you double press the home button on the home screen).
f) same as above except closing all tbs open in safari before then exiting.
