• Pretty much ready to cry.

    I backed up my sons iPad this morning, checked that the backup had worked. 1.2gb of cloud storage used. Installed ios9 and it went tilt. Spent all day getting it working and ended up having to do a full reinstall.

    Tried to restore from backup... nothing there.

    Years of memories, irreplaceable as i have split from his mum, gone.

    Destroyed.

    Does anyone have any ideas whether they can be retrieved from apple's servers?

  • Are you sure you are signed on to the correct icloud account?

    Also can you remember if all the backup options (i.e. photos, contacts, etc.) where on when you backed it up? I'm not sure if they are on by default.

    I'm a bit wary of solely relying on cloud storage, I always make sure to do a hard back up through iTunes of my phone every so often.
