when viewing picture on iPhone from iCloud does it download onto my phone

A download to your HD will use space on your HD.  As to the 5gb limit "because of the way iCloud stores your content. Your purchased music, apps, and books, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against your free storage."

  • TS4036 could not sign in server error when trying to restore iphone from icloud

    I am trying to restore my iPhone from an iCloud  backup.  I deleted everything on the phone per restore instructions. Connected to wireless on iPhone.  Logged on to my iCloud account.    Told the iPhone to restore from iCloud backup.  I keep getting ""could not sign in" server error OK.  I get this messge over and over.

    I actually noticed when I had this problem just now that my iPhone 4 wasn't on wif. Only connected to 3G even though I entered my network info and clicked connect. So I backed up a few steps and re selected to connect to wifi and it fixed my issue!

  • When I restored my new iphone from icloud it gave me the wrong phone

    how can I change my phone # to the correct phone # I want.?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

  • Only parts of my songs from itunes match are downloading onto my phone.  The full song plays fine on computer but not on iphone

    I recently purchased Itunes match to download some of the songs from my library onto my phone.  Everything downloaded fine.  At least I thought, until I tried to listen to my music on my phone.  I found that some of the songs that were downloaded from the itunes match are not fully there.  The full song plays fine on my computer, however on my phone it will only play a part of the song and then immediately cut off and skip to the next song, while the display still says the other song should be playing.  I tried turning off the itunes match and just re-synching the music from my computer itunes library to my phone but still encounerted the same problem.  Is there an easier way of fixing this, or do I have to basically restore my whole phone?

    Did you let the scan in iTunes finish before you enabled the service on the iPhone? If not you need to. Disable iTM on the iPhone, then launch the Music app and let the content clear out. Once the scan is complete in iTunes re-enable iTM on the iPhone.

  • How can I restore my iPhone from icloud with 2 different accounts?

    I have two accounts. When I restore my iPhone from icloud with account A, the apps I bought with account B cannot be restored. What can I do?

    The  iCloud account is different from the iTunes store account, although you can use the same ID for both. in your case you can only use one iTunes account at a time to get previously bought apps, music, etc.Once you change to the other one, the stuff from the first account is deleted. In other words you can only realistically use one iTunes account. The same goes with iCloud. you must now decide which account for iTunes you want to stick with. apple does not let you merge two iTunes accounts.

    UUpdate the new iphone to iOS 8.3 before you try to restore the backup.

  • Issues restoring iphone from icloud

    Hi,
    Every time I try to restore my iphone from icloud it says, "unable to back up from icloude because wireless connection interrupted".  My phone is plugged in and connected to wi-fi...I also tried having my iphone plugged into my computer while backing up.  Neither worked.  What do I do? 
    Thanks.

    Is your iPhone have a strong Wi-Fi connection? Have you tried testing on another Wi-Fi network?
    Take a look at this Apple document -> iCloud: Troubleshooting restore issues with iCloud Backup
    Troubleshooting issues during a restore
    If you receive an alert during the restore, be sure to note the text of the message, and cross reference it in the Alert Message matrix in the fifth major section of this article. 
    Keep in mind that restoring is dependent on being connected to the Internet, so the faster your connection, the faster your restore will be. However, even with a fast broadband connection, it can often take around 1-4 hours per gigabyte to complete a foreground and background restore. If you are traveling between countries, you may need to allocate even more time. iCloud is tuned to provide you with the best service in the geographical location you most frequently connect from, and in regards to iCloud Backup, the geographical region you created the original backups from.
    If you receive connection errors, or timeouts, while restoring, you should verify your device has a valid connection to a fast Wi-Fi network and that it's plugged into a power source. Then, let it work. A good way to do this is to start the restore an hour or two before you go to sleep. That way, you can input any needed information after the iOS device restarts and the background restore starts, but you will be less likely to use the phone during the background restore. This will allow it to proceed without interruption. Background restore is designed to allow you to use your phone normally, but if you are getting errors, or having trouble completing the restore, it's best to avoid any possible network interruptions and maximize the resources the iOS device can allocate to the restore process, by allowing it to work uninterrupted. Of course, you can check the status of the recovery by unlocking the screen or by reviewing the progress of downloaded applications or Camera Roll content, but in an error-prone situation, it's best to avoid doing work and launching apps unrelated to the restore process.
    As noted earlier, you will receive prompts for your Apple ID and other passwords. This is normal. When you are restoring to a device that you have already backed up from, you should receive fewer prompts to re-enter passwords, but if you are restoring to a new device, it is expected that you will have to re-enter your passwords again. This is done to preserve the integrity of your accounts.

  • Menu navigation buttons do not appear when viewing page on iPhone

    My webpage shows the menu navigation buttons on all browsers and platforms but when viewing on an iPhone they are not there. Hence you cannot view other pages. Is this a restriction of pages created in iWeb or am I doing something wrong?
    I have trawled through the discussion forum and tried tips such as the height of the menu bar from the top on the page, pixel width and making sure the menu box is at the front or brought forward.
    my website is www.sussexgolfcaptains.org

  • Cannot restore iPhone from iCloud - takes hours then loses connection

    Hey Guys,
    I had to restore my iphone as it was doing weird things.
    Long story short, when I try and restore from icloud it say it will take 6 hours or so (on other occasions it has said 15) and then about 3 hours in it says lost connection.
    This is INCREDIBLY frustrating!
    I have a solid internet connection  that although not super speedy, at 5MBPS it should be enough to download the data. I am stuck!
    I have a backup I just cant get to the thing!
    Any ideas on what else to try>?
    There is no way of contacting icloud support unless I want to pay an incidient fee which is pretty rubbish in my eyes!

    Your information could've been stored on someone else's iCloud account, therefore you  have to set up as a new phone.

  • My music won't download to iPhone from icloud

    my music won't download to iPhone from icloud

    I'm having the same problem. I have checked the status and it says the location of the song is in iCloud. When I click on the cloud next to the song, not thing happens. It's been like that for 3 days. It does say it's "waiting"
    Also, when I manually add album art, nothing happens. Still shows the generic iTunes icon.

  • TS3682 i earsed my iphone frome icloud and it didn't never work it still loading for 3 hours and still not working ? please help me so fast

    i earsed my iphone frome icloud and it didn't never work it still loading for 3 hours and still not working ? please help me so fast

    First man up and admit, that itunes does not suggest, but tells you that update is available and you made a
    decision to download and update. Once you man up - think if you still under warranty. If that is not security
    software according to the link provided, it is hardware. So second try another network, may be your network
    has additional security or firewall. And third decide if it worth to you pay 149 for that phone or get it replaced.
    Unless your 3gs under warranty.
