HT4859 Help! What do I do if my IPad says that it cannot back up because my icloud storage doesn't have enough room. It directs me to either cancel or go to settings but the screen locked so I can't do either. Deleted photos/ videos already.
Help! What do I do if my IPad says that it cannot back up because my iCloud storage doesn't have enough room. It directs me to either "Cancel" or go to "Settings" but the screen is frozen and it won't let me do either. I have removed a lot of pictures and video that I had downloaded. Then tried to reconnect it to the computer to see if another attempt would prompt a back up with less need, but that did not help.
Does anyone have any quick fix ideas?
Thanks.
Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

I am trying to set up a new iphone to my old iphone's settings. When i have tried to back it up it displays a error message saying that it cannot back up because the back up was not saved. Anyone have any ideas?
First backup the old phone to iTunes using right mouse click then backup after that restore from backup on the new device .

you have been backing up to the cloud. If you want to continue to do so you need to purchase more space or backup to your computer

My mini Ipad says: I haven't backed it up to iCloud for 2 weeks. Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locks, and connected to wifi.
The ok button doesn't work, I can't open settings to make sure wifi is connected. Nothing works!!! I have it pluggled into my computer but apparently it isn't backing up since nothing has changed. it is unuseable!Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected. -

I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture? has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is, is it self-repairable or even repairable at al?
The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

I went to use my iPhone 5 (I had used it just minutes before) and it wouldn't work. It was about half charged and seems to have shut itself off. I tried charging it and turning it on but the screen remains completely black. What happened?
Try resetting. Hold the sleep wake button (on the top edge), and the home button (round button on the front with the white square) at the same time for 10-15 seconds. If you see the apple logo, let go. Your phone should restart. If not?

I changed my server at the end of May & all worked well until the past week end since when I am getting a message saying that I cannot get email because the server will not connect - although it does. It also claims that it was last backed up on Friday last despite having had several emails since Friday. What has happened & can I get email back to normal?
Hello Stern snapper
If you are having issues with receiving email on your iPad, then check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue. You may just need to remove the email account and add it back in.

My iPad says that it cannot contact the App Store.
My iPad says that it cannot contact the App Store. I am trying to down load a free app. I tap FREE and it says INSTALLING. I never get a challenge for my Apple ID or PW. After about 15 or more minutes it says CANNOT CONTACT iTUNES STORE. I tried turning off the cellular comms and just using the WiFi (with my ADSL ). Is the store down? I can down load onto my iPhone with no trouble. Please help.

<Email Edited by Host>OK the reboot (power down, restart, unlock SIM with PIN) has solved the problem. Funny how talking to someone, even no-one helps to solve a problem. I believe it forces the problem into the brain's cognitive centre.

My iPod doesn't have enough room but I don't have much on it. It's the generation 4 itouch
It keeps on saying j don't have enough room but it's brand new and I don't have much on it. I know it needs a System update is tht the only prob
Connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod underDevices in iTunes. At the bottom if the screen they should be a color coded bar showing the usage of the storage on the iPod. Report back on the usages by categories.
Could it be that iTunes is elling you that the computer does not have enough free disk space?
When are you getting the message and what is the exact wording of the message? -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

iPod first stopped updating/downloading apps, then shut down completely. Finally got around to plugging it into our home Mac and restoring it, which all seemed to go fine. However the screen is still unresponsive, I have tried turning it off and on again etc.
Thank you for the speedy reply! I suspected it to be a hardware fault but found a lot of people online had experienced the same problem. What should I do? Obviously it is well out of warranty and the battery is literally brand new. Seems a sad waste if it cannot be repaired. I've yet to find a definitive answer or what to do, be it contact Apple etc....
Again, many thanks for taking the time to help. :-) -
Any advice? Hoping I can bring it into the apple store to have looked at? Anyone with similar experience?
You will most likely need a logicboard replacement which is $400+. Your HDD may be damaged, another couple hundred, and possibly the screen. If the bill is anywhere near $800, I recommend saving for a new machine, and seeing how many files Apple can recover from your old HDD.
