TS4108 Restoring Notes from iCloud

Lost my notes on my iPhone & iPad. How do I retrieve them from my iCloud backup?

If you have a Mac that is signed into your account and you back it up with Time Machine, you can restore them using Time Machine. If not, and your only option is to restore them from your iCloud backup, follow Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445. (Notes aren't designed to be restored from an iCloud backup, but with some effort you can restore them following this procedure.)

HT4859 restore notes from icloud

My notes just disappeared from my Iphone 4i. How do you restore notes from icloud?

If notes were synced to icloud they can be retreived from icloud.com website.
If notes were backed up to icloud that can be retrieved with restore of device.
Problem is that if notes were synced to icloud, you are very unlikely to lose those, and chances are you would not be here. Another problem is that notes are in most of the times aren't in backup. Notes normally backed up/synced by imap servers and in that case backup contains only such servers settings, but notes are downloaded later automatically after restore from back up.
I know all that sounds like blah blah blah, but here is summary
if notes are not in icloud.com - backup is probably useless and places to check would be notes folders of email accounts that were set up on the phone. Example - I have yahoo account and yahoo server syncs my notes. When I go to yahoo.com and login, there is folder - notepad - contains all my notes, I can copy, save and so on.

How to restore "notes" from icloud backup

I was trying to clear data from my old computer (to give to my little sister), and I accidentally deleted all my "notes" from the "mail" program (not just from that computre, but even on the icloud apparently)!
Is there anyway to restore the notes back to my phone & new computer from my last icloud back up?

the harder solution may require this to help you show the hidden files so to recover deleted notes on iPhone...
If you synced your iPhone with itunes.
to restore from a previous backup, be sure to go into iTunes before you
connect your iPod Touch or iPhone and set iTunes > preferences > devices
and check “prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically.This ensures we don’t erase the previously stored backup.

How do I restore notes from icloud backup to imac?

Somehow my "notes" folder and all contents disappeared from my Mail app on my imac, but the current version is on my iphone and icloud (notes on iphone set to sync to cloud). An older version (15 days old) is also in TimeMachine, but I'd much rather restore from the current notes in icloud.
How do I restore my current notes folder from icloud (or iphone) to my imac?
I don't seem to find the instructions in any other post. BTW, searching for words from the notes in spotlight showed no results on my imac, and it is not in the trash.
Thank you for any suggestions that could work.

I believe in Notes it has an indication what will be shown, in the upper left corner of the app see if there is a spot where you can indicate on Mac, iCloud, etc...I apologize, I'm not on my Mac at the moment and I'm writing from memory. Most of the iCloud based apps (Calendar, Contacts, etc...) have this setting in the upper left of the app.

HT4847 How to restore "Notes" from iCloud

How do you restore only "Notes" to iphone or ipad from backed up iCloud?

Backups will be at one of the following locations:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista/7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
But you won't be able to read the files as it is a SQLite database, readable only with 3rd party software with ability to extract data from the backup (such as iPhone Backup Extractor).

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".

Restore data from iCloud without resetting?

Let me get this straight. If I want to restore data from iCloud, then I will need to reset everything before I can do that? I have some photos that I need to restore, I can not do this in mac (asking for aperture or iphoto, which I refuse to buy, as Apple tries to nickel & dime). If this is correct, then this is the dumbest idea, and iCloud qualifies to be the worst thing in the history of computers ever!

I have a MacBook Pro. I connect my iPad to the Mac with the USB cable and launch Image Capture. My iPad appears under the Devices heading with the option to import all of the photos - or any combination of them - to any folder on my Mac that I choose.
Did you try connecting the iPad to your Mac and launch Image Capture?
iCloud and iTunes both create full backups of the data and photos that are on your iOS device. The backups are to be used in emergency or troubleshooting situations. These backups are not like having external storage where you can selectively restore content. If your iPad software were to go bad and you needed to restore it, you could restore from the current backup in order to get all of the files and app data back onto the device.
Backups are not the same thing as storage drives where you can drag files onto and off of the drive.

I am setting up my Iphone 6 but keep getting an error message "cannot restore backup from Icloud...I backed up my old Iphone 5 just yesterday...Any suggestions?

During setup of Iphone 6 I keep getting error message "cannot restore backup" from Icloud. I backed up my old Iphone 5 yesterday. Is it because of different operating systems? Please help. Thanks!

Does your iPhone 5 IOS is later than iPhone 6 IOS?
If true, you need to update your iPhone 6 before you can restore from your backup.
If not, is iPhone 6 connected to power supply?

IPhone 5 wont restore backup from iCloud.

iPhone 5 wont restore backup from iCloud. Ive tried restoring the backup over 10 times now and it keeps saying it can not restore backup, and it is connected to the internet.

Yes. You can't restore a backup made with an iOS version later than the one installed on the device
Yes, if you're restoring from iCloud. No, if restoring from iTunes.

How to get notes from icloud to new iphone.

All my old iphone 4S 'notes' are stored in icloud. When I synced up my new iphone 5 it did not transfer the last ten months of notes onto the phone, just everything prior to that. So I'm nervous if I back up the notes I've made since, it may overwrite what is already on icloud. Can anyone give me advice on how to transfer the rest of my notes from icloud onto my iphone 5, or how to get them all together again?

On your phone. If you have Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud, and also had notes on the phone prior to turning on this setting, you should have two accounts in the notes app: On My iPhone and iCloud (listed as your iCloud ID).
Did you have notes on your phone prior to turn on Notes in Settings>iCloud? Is Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud now?

How do I restore data from icloud to iphone

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.

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.

Mavericks (10.9.2) notes unable to update notes from iCloud

Hi There!
I am using mavericks, I found out that my notes in mavericks is unable to update any notes from iCloud since I upgrade to 10.9.2. Here I have tried out some of the method which I search from forum and Google.
1. I have tried to sign out then sign in again from iCloud account in mavericks but won't resolve my problem.
2. I have also tried to remove iCloud account then add them back but also won't work.
3. Created new user account the login my iCloud account but with same result come up.
There is something strange that I realized when I am trying out the above mentioned methods, which is to create new note from mavericks notes app and it will update to my iCloud panel and it is updating to my iPad or iPhone. the only problem is all my notes in iCloud are unable to update to my mavericks notes app. Calendar, Mail, Contacts, Reminder and others services are working fine but Notes.
Is there any suggestion?
Many thanks!
KT

I'm having the same issue with the 10.9.2 update. Tried signing out of the account, removing the account, repairding disk permissions, etc, and still can't get my iCloud notes to sync to the Notes application. The notes are on the iCloud website and sync correctly to my iPhone.
iMac 3.2 Ghz Intel Core i5
OS 10.9.2
