Cannot backup to iCloud for my iPhone. It tells me to leave it locked plugged in and connected to wifi but then says unable to complete. My iPad worked but not phone
When I try to backup to. Loud from iPhone it will not work. iPad worked fine. I says leave locked, plugged in and connected to wifi. Unable to back up this time. Or failed to complete. I have followed instructions. I have even taken lge amounts required to be stored off list to see if a smaller amou t would work but it hasn't made a difference. What am I doing wrong. iPad was easy.
I have the same problem and can't seem to find a solution anywhere in the support forums or online.
Last backup says, "Never" but 7gig of my 15g of storage is used up. Every time I try to manually start backup to iCloud, the progress bar never moves and I only get "estimating time remaining."
The phone appears to not be backing up automatically at all when my phone is plugged in, locked and on my wifi network.
Apple appears to be unaware or unconcerned with this problem. I'm concerned though. It looks like I'll have to drive an hour to a store to get any help with this problem. Is it seriously cheaper to have a live body in a store used up rather than online interactive support?
Any help with this backup problem would be appreciated.

Can't get iCloud to back up on IPhone 5. Have 7.1 GB available. Backup keeps failing while I am plugged in and connected to wifi. It will show backing up now and estimated time 20 plus hours and always ends up failing after a couple hours
You need at least 50 MB of free space in order to back up to iCloud. Rather than backing up, have you tried importing the photos to your computer and deleting them from the camera roll as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083?

My iPad says
iCloud Backup
This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 wks, Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi
Then it has a bar with OK in it. I try to click on it, and it does nothing, I try to turn it off it does nothing. PLEASE HELP! I JUST GOT THIS IPAD AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO USE IT. I don't even remember how it got into what it is in.Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
My iPad is locked up, the message "iCloud backup hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks, needs to be plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi." It is unresponsive to the "ok" command to move forward with the backup. It is stuck.
Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

When i bought my iPhone and my iPad they both were on iOS 7.0.2 i updated them shortly after thinking the new iOS 7.0.4 was better. i see its not but they both worked great with iTunes before and after the update. My question is why is my iPhone not connecting to iTunes? it will not connect through USB or wifi and i know that the setting to do that is turned on. my iPad connects through iTunes through wifi but not USB. This isnt making any sense but i wanna know is this a iTunes issue? or is it my phone and iPad??
This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable. Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

My backup to iCloud seems to be taking so long, I don't even have any confidence that it is working. Going on 16 hours. I want to use my phone, but it says if I stop it will return my phone to initial state. Do I lose all my apps?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps. -

My ipad is freezing up because it needs an icloud update. It says that I need to have it plugged in to wifi. I can't connect to wifi because it's frozen. What should I do?
If you have the 'this iPad hasn't been backed up' message then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Can connect to Wifi but not LAN internet with iphone 6
Hello from Australia.
Ever since I brought my iphone 6 home, I have been plagued with Wifi issues. All of my idevices have lost internet connection, even though they can be connected to WiFi via Airport Express (2nd gen).
My internet is a LAN ethernet cable, and usually after connnecting to WiFi (on any device), I get a Login Page from my ISP and I can connect to the internet as usual.
The new iphone 6 has never been able to bring up the Login Page, but is able to connect to my WiFi network. My old 4S is also unable to connect, as well as my husband's 4S.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

My iPhone 5s cannot connect to the internet via 3g or 4g. But when I go on to wifi I am able to connect to the internet ok. Any help please. thanks
Have you contacted your cell/mobile provider? Since you can connect via WiFi, the next place to look is your carrier's network.

One wifi spot my iPhone connects to wifi but not internet. All other devices connect to internet.
My iPhone connects to wifi just fine. When it does it connects to the internet just fine except in one location. My house. My MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone and her iPad get on the internet there just fine. My Iphone's IP address it begins with a 10. At my house it occasionally will connect to the internet through wifi but I leave wifi off there because it is so intermitent.
Any suggestions?
I have not seen this problem addressed.Can you ping a website using either Network Utility or Terminal?

I have already cleared the content and settings from the phone twice and tried to start completely from scratch.
I also already tried backing up the phone onto my computer then restoring then using the computer back up via USB connection.
In addition, my phone displays as almost full (its an 8G) yet I have 4 songs (8.2MB), no books, 48 apps (1.98GB) - which seems like a lot of space used for apps, 96 photos (84.6MB), Documents&Data (917MB) and that's it! It just has a huge section that displays as "other" (1.62 GB) then 780.2 free.
I'm OBVIOUSLY not a tech person, but it seems like having some apps and 4 songs and 90 photos shouldn't mean your phone is so full I had to erase all the content just to do the software update for it to allow me to back it up! What is the issue there? Those numbers don't seem like they add up to anything near 8GB, but again I'm sure I'm missing something.
Any help is appreciated. My other phone was exactly the same one and I had no such problems so perhaps this one is just faulty?Error 3 or 1669
