Im having trouble backing up my iphone 4 to icloud
Im having trouble backing up my iphone 4 to icloud, anyone have any suggestions how i can fix this? I have tried resetting all the settings on my iphone but nothing works
If you get the message "Backup not successful", I had the same problem.
My solution was to turn off some apps (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap my device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options) and try a manual backup. If it didn't work, turn off a few more apps and try a backup. Keep doing that until the backup works. Then try adding in some of the last batch of apps that were previously turned off - the objective is to find the app that causes the backup to fail. For me, I suspect that the one app I found had a bad data file that, when included in the backup, caused the backup to quit.
This can be a long process if you have a lot of apps that you originally turned on for backups.

I am having trouble removing/changing my iphone id. It keeps reverting back to its previous id. How can I fix this problem?
Jgreg14 you have my sympathies. 36 hours ago while using my iPad I was told that my Apple ID had been disabled. Like you I went to the forums, reset my password, and also like you, nothing changed. I have contacted iTunes support and after 24 hours they responded with this:
Cesar here from the iTunes Store Support Team. Your inquiry is very important to me, so I have requested assistance with the issue you reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
Thank you for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible. Take care!
Boy do I feel special. I sat on the phone to the UK helpline for 30 minutes, and have been told my case has been elevated to "URGENT".
Basically I was wondering if you ever got your problem sorted out? -

Go to expresslane.apple.com and go to itunes/itunes store and billing/redemption and apple ID account billing, and click on send an email or talk to a live chat advisor.. have your order numer, cost, and the name of the item... you'll need to explain in detail. If you send an email they will get back to you within 24 hours. If you chat with a live advisor they will assist you immediately. They are really good at getting you a refund when needed.

Hi! I have an x-mini headset which im having trouble pairing to my iPhone 5s with bluetooth, any tips please?
Cellular calling doesn't yet work reliably.
Make sure you've followed the instructions in this support article. Note that both iCloud and FaceTime on the Mac must be signed in to the same Apple ID; those are two separate steps. Also note that the Mac and the phone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Ethernet won't work. Trying to pair the phone to the Mac as a Bluetooth device won't work either.
If cellular calling still doesn't work, sign out of FaceTime and sign back in. You may have to do the same on the phone. The email address that you use as your Apple ID must be able to receive FaceTime calls. -
I have a macbook and I'm having trouble backing up my pictures on an external hard drive. The Macbook won't install the backup drive soft ware? It is a new Sea Gate hard rive from costco.
You don't want to install the software that came with the drive, you don't need it and it will be problematic. Connect the new drive, open Disk Utility, select the new drive and partition it using the GUID partition scheme, then format it as Mac OS extended journaled and it will be easy to use with your Mac.

hi everyone , having trouble with restoring my iphone, i did follow the step untul extracting the update software but when the iphone start to restoring my iPhone always turn off and it say Error 21 on my PC monitor ...please help me i cannot get my iPhone turn on
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service. -
I'm having problems backing up my iphone 4 to icloud since 13/04/2012. First it says it's going to take 6 hours, then it says backup failed. Following instructions-connected to wi-fi, plugged into PC & locked the phone (though never had any problems like this before), but still no difference. Any ideas/similar problems?
unfortunately there are tons of people with this issue but Apple has not given any answers for us to fix this issue yet. I wish they would allocate more people to solving these problems when they roll out new versions of itunes along with new hardware.

Having trouble with the "SIMYO" iPhone 4 internet configuration.. Anybody could help me?
I am having trouble with the "SIMYO" iPhone 4 internet configuration.. I've been trying to do the configuration 10-15 times now and still, it doesn't work. Anybody could help me please!!
I don't see SIMYO anywhere on the list of supported carriers: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
Unless you're talking about a carrier on this list, you're going to have to work it out with them. It's possible their network is just not compatible. They are definitely not a supported carrier. -
Does backing up my iPhone on iCloud save my pictures?
Does backing up my iPhone on iCloud save my pictures?
It does. Following is a list of what an iCloud backup includes: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2584
Having said that, there is no way I personally would rely on that as the one and only backup of my pictures. I have my phone set to automatically backup via iCloud but I also periodically import all of my Camera Roll to my computer where I can visually verify that the pictures are in fact there (and where I can include them in my normal computer backup). Instructions for importing to a computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
