Restoring From I-Cloud ?? Maybe?

[Kenworth]

How to I view or restore data from ICloud. I can "backup" but have no idea what to do after that?

I've reviewed the forums...

Read the Apple "help" info...

Read the IPAD 2 manual...


Plenty of info on how to back up everything but nothing on how I can find data I may potentially need to restore/retrieve. Suppose, for example, I loose my "favorites"........>Exactly< where do I go to get them back!

I understand connecting to the PC, I used to do that....what about connecting to the misterious ICLOUD??


Thanks and Happy Holidays to all........and to all a good night.....Ken​

From the book Take control of iCloud via iBooks.

there&rsquo;s no Restore button anywhere in the Settings app, and no obvious way to get your data back! It&rsquo;s there, though&mdash;but it appears only after your iOS device&rsquo;s memory has been wiped out (or when setting up a brand new device). It&rsquo;s also an all-or-hing affair: you must restore all your data from a backup&mdash;you can&rsquo;t restore just your Camera Roll, or just data from a particular app.
To get your iOS device to a state where you can restore a backup, you must do one of the following:
&bull;Connect the device to your computer via USB, select it in iTunes, and in the Summary view, click Restore.
&bull;On your iOS device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, and then tap Erase to confirm.
