How to access old iCloud backups?

I lost all my pictures because I restored my iPhone, stupidly, so I went to reset all settings and I'm trying to backup from 12/29/12, which was before I erased my stuff and it was successful this morning but I checked my photos again and 100 of them were deleted somehow from the 300 I had before so I reset my settings again, but iCloud backupped from today so now it only shows today, Jan 1 and Dec 30 and no longer shows Dec 29. How do I get it back, or any backup date earlier? (btw, today is 1/6/13)

Icloud only stores your most recent backup

Try hooking up your IPod, IPhone or IPad to a computer and go to manage iCloud and it should show you! How this helped!

  • Why did Apple delete my iCloud backups? I had some backups in iCloud from my old iPhone. I came back to get my stuff and it was all gone. My iCloud storage was full, then when I came back it was empty and there were no backups. I DID NOT delete them. There was a lot of photos, videos, messages and contacts in there I will never get back.
  • Old iphone Icloud lock still enabled after I buy a new iPhone with icloud on it? If I had my iPhone stolen with icloud lock on and I was tracking it. But I buy a new one and activate the icloud and tracker, does that mean the old iPhone is unlocked? What happens to it? Will I be notified if someone turns it on? Can I track it?
  • Is there any way i can get my old iphone backups? So i just got the beta for IOS7 and i went back to ios 6. I backed up my phone before i downloaded ios7.So now that i went back to ios 6 everything is gone. The phone was set to a new phone and i lost everything. I tried backing it up but it said that i needed ios7 to back it up. Then i accidentally backed my phone up and it deleted the old back ups. Is there any way i can get my old back ups? I know how to find them kind of but i don't know how to sync them back into itunes or my phone.
  • I've been so fustrated with trying to get my old iCloud account off my old iPhone I forgot the password and recovery key to my iCloud account. I've called Apple and sent a receipt for proof of purchase, but they said it's invalid, because the SN doesn't match which doesn't make sense. Is there another way to just erase everything off the phone myself?
