In theory, the original data is still in iCloud and will be restored to these apps once Apple fixes the issue, but there&rsquo;s always a chance that new data created for troubleshooting reasons will overwrite what&rsquo;s in iCloud, depending on how each app handles sync and that app&rsquo;s sync status at the time the problem started.<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Frakes: Starting on or around September 18, some iCloud customers found that apps that use iCloud to sync data between devices could no longer do so&mdash;they either would no longer sync or appeared to have lost their data completely.
