I can't turn on iCloud backup on one of my phones after updating to ios7 - help!

Updated both iPhone 4S to iOS 7, I can get the iCloud backup for one phone, but I don't have the option to turn it on on my other phone. I have reset, uninstalled, reinstalled, signed in/out, I can't figure out what to do. I've had no other problems, is not a storage issue, as we had previously purchased more storage and it still shows that we have a huge amount left. I appreciate any help, thanks!

Are you saying that the setting to turn on iCloud backup is missing?

  • Can I turn off iCloud backup and keep my old backup?

    Basically I am sick of being asked for money for more storage space. I cannot seem to get my iPhone backup under the 5gb free space, so the only option I see is to turn off iCloud backup. Can I do this without deleting the old (original) backup?

    No.  When you turn it off it removes your existing backup.  You'll have to back up to your computer using iTunes (after turning off iCloud backup it will automatically back up when you sync).

  • Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I can not find an album for photos before 2012.

    Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone5 after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I cannot find an album or year for photos before 2012 (in the photo app). The iphone says the photo content is there when I check in "about" under general in settings. So the pictures seem to be somewhere but I just can't access from from the photo app. Any suggestions. I also know that they were there before the iOS7 upgrade as I was looking for a pre 2012 picture last week and it we there.

  • Can't turn on iCloud Backup

    I logged back in but cannot find my previous question on the problem.
    My internet is working fine but when I turn on iCloud I get the message "iCloud Backup Failed"

    Demo, good to hear it all worked for you.  I was suspicious of all the problems people were having, in spite of all the months of testing Apple went through with iOS5.  It had to be something other than the software itself, and it was:  Server overload and user error. 
    From reading Apple's website and all the tales of woe, seems to me that if you have more than one Apple device, the iOS 5 upgrade is only one piece of the puzzle.  In order for iCloud to work, you have to upgrade not only your iDevice software, but your PC/Mac software as well, and it has to be done in a specific order if all is to go smoothly.  The PC/Mac software should be upgraded first (iTunes 10.5), then the iOS devices.  The very last thing to do is turn on iCloud.
    I've always been cautious about installing major updates like this one.  I generally wait a few days to see if there are real problems or not, and how they are resolved.  I won't be upgrading my iPad2 to iOS 5 until the weekend.  Hopefully the high server load will have subsided by then.

  • Hi, I have a problem about ICloud backup, I can not turn on ICloud backup in my iphone5c (7.1.2) do you know anything about it. Thanks

    There are two possible case
    First I upgraded to IOS 8 2 weeks ago and then downgrade again
    Or I upgrade 7.1.2 now maybe that is why I can not make iCloud backup.

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • Can i turn my icloud on by the computer my phone was stolen or lost icloud nor find my iphone is enabled ????how can i find it

    iphone 4 was stolen or lost. icloud nor find my iphone is enabled.how do i track it or is there anyway to track it.the phone battery has died also

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
    If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

  • How can i recover my photos if i restored my phone but turned off icloud backup?

    how can i recover my photos if i restored my phone but turned off icloud backup?

    Do you have any backup at all for your device? If you do, then you can restore from that backup and get any photos that were on it. If you have imported your photos to your computer, you can sync them back to your device via an iTunes sync. If you had Photo Stream turned on, you can recover your Photo Stream for the last 30 days or 1000 photos on that Photo Stream (whichever comes first) by signing onto the iCloud account that the Photo Stream was turned on for.
    Cheers,

  • HT4847 Can I temporarily turn off iCloud backups. From time to time I'm limited to dialup internet service. iCloud's taking over the connection, preventing simple eMail exchanges.

    Can I temporarily turn off iCloud backups. From time to time I'm limited to dialup internet service. iCloud's taking over the connection, preventing simple eMail exchanges.

    When you switch to iTunes backups, the device will start to make any further backups to iTunes on your computer. It will only do this when it is connected to iTunes and a power source. (If it is set to sync/backup wirelessly, it will only do so when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network)
    When you switch back to iCloud backups, it will basically resume where it left off and start to back up once again to iCloud. There is no moving of backup files between iTunes and the cloud when you switch between backup options.

  • Restoring from iCloud - when can I turn off iCloud from old phone?

    Hi - I upgraded from 4S to 6 and I'm restoring from iCloud backup - it's taking a while to download all the apps and photos as I expected.  While it's downloading/restoring from iCloud can I turn off iCloud service from the old 4S or do I have to wait until it's complete on the 6?

    No.  When you turn it off it removes your existing backup.  You'll have to back up to your computer using iTunes (after turning off iCloud backup it will automatically back up when you sync).

  • Cannot turn on icloud backup after downgrade to iOS 7.1.2

    I own an iPhone 4S which I upgraded to iOS 8 on 21st September. The iphone and most of applications (even phone) crashed all the time so I decide to downgrade to 7.1.2 after following instructions found in these communities. I did it just yesterday.
    Now I cannot turn on iCloud Backup to my iPhone. The iCloud drive of course disappeared from Settings > iCloud, however it's still visible when I access the iCould in web. Moreover in iCloud web interface my iPhone appears as running iOS 8 and X Yosemite which is not true. My iPhone has 7.1.2 iOS.
    I tried to erase my iPhone and restore it from a backup I made yesterday but I have the same issue: iCloud could not be enabled. It was enabled finally after hard reset but when I select "Backup now" the app crashes and throw me in the Home Screen. I see a message: this iPhone has never been backed up on iCloud and the last backup could not be completed.
    Please help!!!!!! I want to be able to have iCloud Backup (most important settings and contacts, sms etc.) as I did usually before upgrading to iOS 8 and downgraded to 7.1.2.

    Hello,
    Been experiencing the same problem, finally fix it by deleting your old iCloud backup from iOS 8.
    Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Click on your device name > Scroll down to bottom > Delete this backup.
    Then try to turn on the iCloud Backup setting toggle again.
    Hope this helps.
    iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2, downgraded from iOS 8

  • How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?

    How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?
    When I try to sign out Icloud I get the warning (( If you turn off Documents & Data, all documents stored in Icloud will be removed from this Mac))
    I don,t want to remove my document on my computer, what should I do? 

    If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
    The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac.  Then turn off icloud.
    Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud.  In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
    Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    You can move these files to another folder to save them.

  • TS4036 Can you change the iCloud backup date to a previous backup date?

    Can you change the iCloud backup date? My iPhones processor went out and erased all of my information and saved that as my last iCloud backup, is there a way to restore my phone for the day before this happened to get all of my information back?

    Long story short, I had to make a clean install of OS X (mountain lion) when I was outside my country, and if I can't show the guy at the customs back home that I purchased the macpro before making the trip, I'll have to pay taxes for it.
    I could have filled the papers for that but I almost miss the plane and there was a long queue.
