HT1766 These instructions are quite vague. A lot more goes into restoring from iCloud, this article requires more detail, more is better, less is not!

Well, they are step by step on how the process works.
Maybe the issue is not the article but rather the person that cannot follow them?

My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.
A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
Hope this helps. -
Following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534?viewlocale=en_CA&locale=en_CA
These instructions are not working in iStore Canada, there is no NONE payment option.
It does work in iStore Mexico tho... I created an account there and added the NONE method but if I try to switch my country to Canada it asks me for a card again.
Now I have a gift code from a friend in Canada that I cannot claim because iStore Mexico says I can only claim it in iStore Canada and I am not able to switch country without a credit card.
PS: I do live in Canada and have a canadian card but I have no intention to input my card number even if they don't charge me.
Thank you!!Thank you!
Here is what I did:
Log off and restart iTunes.
Logged it with the account I opened for Mexico.
Changed my account region to Canada.
This started the account open section for Canada.
Now I followed the registration process again and found it loaded my mexican account information including the NONE option.
I fixed the address to Canad and finished.
My account got configured and I managed to redeem my gift.
Thank you! -
My partner and I share the powerbook and I use my iPad, Though we each log in with separate accounts all my pics and music are in both libraries . Can I isolate accounts from iCloud ?
Not quite sure exactly what you want to do, but you cannot do it on a PowerBook. iCloud requires Lion and Lion requires an Intel MacBook or MacBook Pro.

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?
Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud? -
Restore from iCloud backup. Pictures missing and ones there are blurry?
I went to the Apple Store and got a new phone so they went and did a restore from backup from iCloud. So, everything was fine and I went home and my apps were there. I look and only 900/1,700 photos transferred from iCloud onto the new device. Although, I have no more room on iCloud so they may still be there but because there is not enoguh wiggle room in the cloud for them to download, they cannot be pushed to the device. Or, more likely, my photos may be gone because the "genius" at Apple had wiped my phone so I'm not sure if my backup is still available or if it just says that it is. And, the 900 pictures that did transfer are all blurry and wont unblur so what should I do? Should I buy more storage and then restore this phone and restore from the previous iCloud backup? Help please
First of all, treat your device like a camera - always sync photos to a computer for archiving. Many users have lost photos doing a restore from iCloud, and this is generally due to several reasons: only photos in the camera roll are backed up, and (it seems) iCloud messes up often enough when backup/restore is used.

My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, update first, Settings > General > Software Update.
Then 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. -
Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud
tl;dr: iPhone works properly with iTunes 11.1 and iPad does not. Can't sync with both iTunes and iCloud to separate, distinct Calendar/Contact/Notes groups.
Explanation:
Ever since iTunes 11 was released (I'm on 11.1 now) I'm unable to sync Contacts, Calendars, and Notes via iTunes because I'm using over the air syncing from iCloud. As late as iTunes 10.7, this was okay, because "On My PC" groups would sync perfectly with iTunes, and iCloud groups would sync perfectly with iCloud.
In fact, this still works, today, but only on my iPhones.
However on the iPad I get the message "Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud." (Well, yeah, I know that. My iCloud contacts should continue to sync via iCloud. I don't want to turn off this behavior.)
The "workaround" used to be sticking to iTunes 10.7, which had correct behavior for both iPad and iPhone. Of course iOS7 nuked that option.
Is anyone aware of another workaround? (Merging my professional Outlook stuff into my iCloud stuff is not a workaround.)I can place a bounty. $20 USD to your Paypal account for a fix.

I am switching from an iphone 4s to a 5s. When I try to restore from icloud and then choose a backup, it tells me "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS on this iphone." How can get into my new phone to update?
UUpdate the new iphone to iOS 8.3 before you try to restore the backup.

Apps are crashing and a lot more
I got my my ipad in June and it has never given me a problem. Now after the new update with IOS 4.2 all apps crash after opening, ipad randomly restarts. I have restored my ipad from beginning and also restore it from stratch. I do not know what to do now. can someone please give me and idea on what to do to fix this.
which apps are crashing? a lot of 3rd party developers haven't had a chance to update their apps yet. If you want to know if others are experiencing the same problem, go to iTunes app or iTunes store on desktop --> search for the app and then look at Reviews or Ratings section or whatever and see if other users are running into the same issues.

So the question is..when i get a bigger device..will i get my txt messages back?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -
Restored from iCloud backup but where are my contacts
I have lost some of my contacts and restored it from iCloud backup and it still didn't help, how can I get my contacts back? I have had contacts on in the ocotillo settings and my contacts are still missing... Also if I pick a further back backup then I will loss my current data, what should I do?
Were you syncing your contacts with iCloud? If so, go to icloud.com on your computer and see if they are still there. If they are, sign into the same iCloud account on your phone in Settings>iCloud, then turn Contacts syncing to On, and if prompted, choose Merge.

I had read to "restore" not the option to set up new device. Oh also my "messages" data is very high even after I deleted nearly all of them
If you simply would have posted here first, there are plenty of people who would have informed you of the current policy to have a data plan active on an account during the entire contract if purchasing a discounted smartphone.
Unfortunately, there are just as many on here who would claim the people informing you about this policy of being Verizon plants spreading disinformation and trying to make people afraid to upgrade via this route.
Yes this is a new policy, one which has been pointed out multiple times in these forums. Good luck, but I doubt you will have an outcome over this which will make you happy.
Verizon is closing as many loopholes to keep unlimited data as they can. -
How do i know if my photos are restoring from icloud?
Yesterday I got a new iphone 5 and am currently doing an icloud restore. My photos say that 0 of 656 are downloading. Does this mean I will eventually get them from the icloud restore? Or did I lose them?
It should restore just fine.
Just to be clear, iCloud is a sync tool not a backup device. It would be unwise to use iCloud as a sole backup for your photos. Photo Stream only holds photos for 30 days or 1000 photos, whichever comes first and then it deletes the oldest.
If you have iCloud set up on your computer you can use it to retain your photos indefinitely.
