Bonus tip. restore iphone/ipad without data loss

If the problem still persists, there’s a final solution – Restore your iPhone/iPad. But since the traditional iTunes/iCloud way will need to erase all existing data on your iPhone/iPad, here we would like to recommend this #1 iOS data recovery and backup manager – PhoneRescue for iOS to help you restore from iTunes/iCloud backup even without data wiped.

With PhoneRescue for iOS, you have 3 recovery modes to choose from: restore from iTunes backup, restore from iCloud backup, recover from iPhone directly. That’s to say, you can restore your iPhone with or without backup. During the process, you can preview and selectively choose the data you prefer to restore, but not all files. In this way, you can not only restore the files you really want but save storage space on the device.

And unlike the traditional iTunes/iCloud way, it just takes a few minutes and 3 simple steps are needed to complete the entire process. Now let’s check it.

Step 1. Download PhoneRescue for iOS on your computer > Connect your iPhone/iPad to the computer via its USB cable > Click Recover from iCloud mode.

Step 2. Log into your iCloud account > Choose the backup you prefer and click Download > Choose the data categories you would like to restore, then click OK to download the backup.

Step 3. After the scan process completes, check it and click the right arrow > Preview and select the data you want to restore > Click To Device or To Computer button to restore them now.

Check icloud is working

If the above solutions fail to help out on iPhone/iPad keeps asking for password error, then it’s necessary to check the system status of the iCloud services you use.

Go to the System Status page on your iPhone or an available computer and check whether all the iCloud services are working correctly.

Does keep it search the content of files?

Yes, Keep It will search the contents of notes, plain and rich text files, bookmarks, web archives, HTML files, email messages, and PDFs, and will perform text recognition on scanned PDFs and images, including attachments — see How does text recognition work in Keep It? for more information.

To start a search:

Content searches match on whole words. For example, searching for «moth» or «ship» won’t find «mothership», you would need to search for the whole word. To search for a partial word, place an asterisk where you want to match anything: e.g. moth* and *ship would find “mothership”.

When searching for multiple words in content, the words don’t necessarily need to be next to each other, or all appear. For example “chocolate chip” would find anything that contains either “chocolate” or “chip”. To match a phrase such as “chocolate chip” exactly, place the phrase in double quotes.

To make the content searchable it needs to be indexed. Any files on your device are indexed immediately, but files that are in iCloud will be temporarily downloaded and indexed when your device is connected to Wi-Fi.
