Why didnt my icloud back up my pictures

I had to restore my phone today & it didnt restore my pictures on icloud..they are very important photo's that i can not get back..please HELP!

you could always try turning the phone off and starting the backup over again. If it's still happening, it's possible that it's related to the network you're in

TS4009 why wont be icloud back up?

my iphone hasnt backed up to icloud since april as it said i did not have enough storage. i have recently upgraded and bought more storage, hoping that the icloud would back up. However, this has not happened and it keeps saying back up in complete. Can anyone advise me as to what would be the best way to back up my icloud?

If you have enough storage on both icloud and the device ...
If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1, I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost?

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1,( I know I need an update!) I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost? I recently backed up to the iCloud as recently as this morning at 2AM.

OCD with good reason
With a second backup, as you now have, you are well protected. The update makes a backup to use for restoring after the install but with another you should be in great shape.
Just take you time and be patient, these can take a while to complete depending on server load, connection speed, etc.

How do i download my pictures from the icloud back to my phone?

So i deleted all my pictures off my phone. But i have the icloud backing them up. How do i download them back to my phone from the cloud?

You can also use iCloud Control Panel to copy them to your computer.
You should regularly sync your photos to yoru computer and delete them form the Camera Roll.
You can sync the photos you want back to the iPhone using iTunes.
and not leave them in yoru Camera Roll.

If you backed up your phone, restoring the backup will restore the photos that were in your camera roll. If you didn't, all you can do is sign back into your iCloud account and enable photo stream. That will allow you to access photo stream photos from the last 30 days.

Why is the iCloud not backing up?

Even though iCloud can hold your iOS devices backup file and can store some data it is more of a syncing service than a backup service. Care to elaborate a little more, what is not backing up?

Why has my iCloud calendar deleted everything from 31st august back to beginning of the year but everything from 1st September is still there!

Why has my iCloud calendar deleted everything from 31st august back to beginning of the year but everything from 1st September is still there! All the information was there this morning and now it's all gone!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, scroll down to the Calendars section and change the sync option to something other than 'Events 1 month back'.
