Viewing content of iphone icloud back up

Hi my iphone was stolen this evening.
I downloaded icloud control centre for windows and can see that my iphone had an icloud back up today at 3pm. But it wont let me view the contents. I am trying to discern if all of my recent precious photos and short films of my baby were back up on cloud. I had a photo stream and camera roll on my iphone. Im honestly not sure at all how icloud works but think I installed it. Any help on how to view content or find out if photos in there?
Thanks

Then use iCloud Control Panel to downlosd them from My Photo stream to your computer.

I recently received my new iPhone 4 from my carrier since my old one was stolen. I restored my new iPhone from my old iPhones iCloud back up but now all the pictures that were stored in my old phone are blurry in my new phone. Please help!

Luckily, using the "Find My iPhone" app, I was able to scare the thieves into bringing my iPhone back to the place they stole it from (Dave and Busters..on my BIRTHDAY OF ALL DAYS). So now, $169 later (deductible for replacement iPhone), I have both my 1st iPhone and my replacement. On my first iPhone, I have all of my pictures saved and they are very clear, but when I restored my replacement iPhone from my original iPhones iCloud backup, all the pictures that I took in my original iPhone are blurry! I thought about backing up my original iPhone through iTunes and then resetting my replacement iPhone and restoring it from my original iPhones settings but I dont want to lose all of my new pictures I took. I know this sounds confusing (well, it looks confusing, since you cant actually hear me) but I could use all the help I can get!

I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone
No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

Why is my iPhone iCloud back up so large?

My iCloud back up for my iPhone is 5.3 gb, yet I am hardly backing up any app data. Where is the rest of the data coming from?
Here is a list of things iCloud backs up
What do you think takes up the most space?
I deleted all of my messages and voicemails. My camera roll is relatively small and I have less than a gb of app data.
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll - 2 gb
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data - 70 mb
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS) - deleted
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails - deleted
What am I missing?
Re: My iCloud storage is over capacity and I can't figure out why

From what I understand the back up is a rolling back up and therefore the next back up will add to what is already there. I also understand that some items are backed up that can't be turned off in the management settings.

You can only restore the iPhone backup file to another iPhone, or iPad.

How to access the photos on an iPhone iCloud back up

I have made an iCloud backup of my iPhone and I should have the photos sync'd with the cloud. I do not now have an iOS device to load up from the back up so is it possible to find the photos stored within the back up and download them to my desktop.
Thanks in advance

Backup in icloud is image file of your personal information that is inaccessible to you besides option to restore to another ios device.

HT201302 Unable to view contents of iphone in windows 7 professional

I am trying to copy pghotos from my iphone to my PC but am having the below problem.
My iphone storage comes up in windows 7 but it claims the DCIM folder is empty when I look via explorer and the import wizard says there are no photos orvideo. There definitely is so what am I missing?

Hi.
The photos are under the camera roll default album that all new photos go to. a Bit stumped why they are not viewable.

Download video from iphone icloud photo stream to mac?

I have a iPhone 4s iOS 7.1.2 and a 2012 MacBook 13" OSX 2.9 i7 dual core on Mavericks 10.9.5
I'm using iPhoto 9.4.3 on my Mac
The issue: after filming several biking videos on my iphone, I ran out of space.
So I 'shared' in a icloud folder I have called 'Bikes'.
I then deleted the video files on my iphone.
The issue: when I got home and tried to sync my iphone pictures and videos to the Mac,
only the photos were synced to the library and the icloud photostream album.
The videos were nowhere.
The videos seem to be only available to view on the iphone icloud album.
The only way to share the video is to share the entire album and force the sharees to open an icloud account (something I do not want to inflict on friends).
Creating a smart album on iphoto to find all videos doesn't help either as the videos aren't on the hard drive, they're on icloud.
How can I get back control of my video content? I simply want to download MY OWN videos to MY OWN hard drive.
Would an upgrade to Yosemite help me? Would this enable one to access one's own video content in icloud and be able to download it to one's own hard drive?
Anyone else frustrated by iphoto/icloud video limitations?

Thanks for answering Léonie,
But I'm cool with creating private and shared albums, thing is, they are not the same depending on whether you view them from an iPhone and MacBook.
The same iCloud/photo stream album eg. 'Bikes' contains pictures and videos when viewed from an iPhone but when viewed from a MacBook, the videos have mysteriously disappeared.
All I want to do is:
1/ Download the video files from iPhone iCloud to my iPhone (4s on iOS 7.1.2) Camera Roll (not possible)
2/ Download from MacBook iPhoto/Photos stream/album to my MacBook hard drive, but it's not currently possible (osx 10.9.5).
The only place where these particular videos are is in the iPhone version of iCloud/photo stream album. I (increasingly regrettably) deleted the original videos from my iPhone Camera Roll after I had added the videos to the iCloud photo stream album. I know I can easily download photos from my iphone/icloud photostream album but downloading a selected video gives me a greyed out sharing option button.
Reading about Yosemite upgrades on my 2012 MacBook (2.9 i7 dual core, 8Go RAM) I am very, very wary about upgrading my MacBook to Yosemite and Photo just for this issue, especially if I still can't access my video file and have to face hours of data recovery/formatting and full reinstall! Not to mention risking having incompatibility issues with my database/analytics software!

TS4036 How do I access content that has been backed up to iCloud? I no longer have an iphone, but want to access the music/pictures I've stored to the cloud. When I logged into iCloud, there was no tab or option to view store content. Please help.

Without an iPhone or iPod Touch to restore the backup to, you cannot access the camera roll photos stored in the iCloud backup. Signing into the account on your computer and enabling photo stream will only allow you to access photo stream photos from the last 30 days, and any shared stream you were subscribed to.
You can redownload purchased music in iTunes on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

All in all i really would like my photos from my previous icloud back up restored some how,
please write back people
Thankyou Bradleigh

You can't just restore the photos, you would have to restore the entire backup, then import the photos to your computer, then restore to your current backup to get your current data back. This will be a somewhat lenghty process.
If you want to do this, first back up your phone to iCloud as it is now (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Back Up Now). When done, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Next go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below), choosing your old backup to restore from.
After restoring, import the photos to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then Erase All Content and Settings again, go back through the setup screens again choosing Restore from iCloud Backup, and this time choose your current backup to restore from. This will return the phone to its current state. Finally, if you want the photos you recovered back on your phone, put them in a folder on your computer, then select the folder to sync to your phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.

Why is my iphone 4s taking so long to restore my photos from icloud back up

i restored my phone from factory settings to icloud back up this all worked normally all my apps and everything restored very easily so did my photo streem however on my camera roll it just says downloding and non on my photos are there it just keeps saying dowloding how long will it take for my pictures to appear ? its been like this for hours !!!!! please help

It sounds like it's stuck. If you changed Wifi networks since starting the restore, this is probably the issue. Once you are at a location where you are going to be for a while, go to Settings > General > Reset > erase All Content & Settings > Erase iPhone. On the set up screens that appear next, connect to Wi-Fi and choose Restore from iCloud Backup and start the restore again. Stay on that same Wi-Fi next work until all of you photos are loaded and in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup you should see "Backup Now" indicating the restore is complete. If you see "Stop Restoring" then continue to stay on the same Wi-Fi until it is complete.
If you have been on the same Wi-Fi since you started restoring the first time and never went out of range, etc. then find another Wi-Fi network if that keeps happening after you try to restore once more per the instructions above.

How to get access to my iCloud back up when setting up a new iPhone 5s which needs the newest version of iOS7 first?

how to get access to my iCloud back up when setting up a new iPhone 5s which needs the newest version of iOS7 first?

Set up the new phone as a new iPhone (without using your backup), then update it to the latest iOS (7.1.2). Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. This process is explained in more detail here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.

I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors. You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing. You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore. You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup). Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

How can I with my iCloud back from my iPhone and iPad to a new Mac?

How can I swith the iCloud back up from my iPad and Iphone to a different Mac?

Your Apple service centre is very good.. they mostly refuse to help in any way.
You need a USB to sata converter cable and power supply or a USB disk holder.. SATA type.. although that is pretty universal now.. they are only a few dollars from most large computer stores or ebay. Plug the usb drive into the computer and copy the contents over to the TC. using ethernet will help btw.. if you only have the air buy a USB to ethernet or Thunderbolt to ethernet (if you have the latest one).. they are available from apple at reasonable prices.
Then you can copy the sparsebundle across..

BUT I have to say I don't recommend it.. I think you are better starting with a new backup and keep the old disk as an archive..

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

Hi, I have recently upgraded from and Iphone 4 to 5. I completed a back up on my iphone 4 via icloud which went ok. When setting up my new phone I selected to set up as a new phone and not via icloud back up. Is there anyway I can restore my details to my new phone? Thanks Hayley

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
