TS3992 My iPhone 5 stopped backing up automatically and manually. How can I fix this?

I have a new iPhone 5. It backed up to iCloud automatically for three weeks and then I had to manually back it up. My iPad backs up nearly every night while its recharging without a problem. I need advice on how to get it to back up. Thanks!

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your phone that is preventing the backup.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.  If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

    Anyone know how i can fix my iphone camera? It was working fine up untill this morning and when i went to take a picture it suddenly went out of focus and has stayed that way! Any thing i can do to fix this?

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone restarts. See if fixed. If not, Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if fixed. If not, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • Following iOS 7 update I can't send iMessages on my iPhone 4 or my iPad 4 RD, how can I fix this

    How can I fix this?

    Mine's much worst - can't send nor receive emails from Yahoo and Gmail. It simply won't connect. Gmail first gives an error about the SSL and to try again without it. But, it still won't connect. Yahoo on the other hand keeps on saying that the apple.imap server is not responding no matter what settings I change. It really does seem that there's something wrong on their end, however, it seems selective.
    This is on top of the fact that all of my contacts were erased and the Personal Hotspot disappears intermittently.
    By the way, I came from 4.2. I updated my wife's from 4.1 and her's is just peachy.

  • HT4623 apple on phone keeps flashing on and off, how can i fix this?

    I did an update and now the phone just keeps flashing an apple. How can I fix this issue?

    connect to a computer with itunes and restore phone, before you connect the phone to the computer get the phone off and hold the home button while you connect the phone to the computer and you want to keep holding the home button till the phone shows the connect to itunes. ITunes then will say that if found a device in recovery mode.

  • Someone else is using my email id for facetime and imessage, how can i fix this??

    How can i fix this??

    To elaborte on Davids response aortiz5 you can got to appleid.apple.com and click the option to manage your apple id.  Here you will be able to change your primary apple id and email address if you want. Or if this is your apple id and you think some one else has access to it you can click on passwords and security on the left and change your password for your apple id which will cause the other devices to prompt for the new password.

  • My iPhone 4 keeps restarting by itself. How can I fix this, what is casusing it?

    I've seen several other adds about people saying their iPhone automatically resetting as well, but no salutions or advice of why it could be doing this.
    My battery seems to drain pretty quickly now too. 100% to 20 In maybe 20mins.
    My phone gets really hot randomly from it also.
    What causes it? How can I fix it? Will apple replace it?
    It can't be an app, I havent made changes to my phone in months, and yes. It's on the most recent program for the iPhone.
    Ill add the reset occurs when making attempt to edit pictures in the regular album. Never had a problem with this before tonight.

  • I can't seem to see sync my mac and iphone using iCloud with numbers and pages how can i correct this?

    Hi
    I've used Numbers and Pages for IOS for sometime now and when i use safari to look at my icloud account i can see all my files. Recently i bought Numbers for Mac and now whenever i create a spreadsheet on my mac i can't see it on my iphone but i can if i login to icloud. In fact i can only see about 16 files on my iphone when there is over 40 files.
    Although i don't yet have pages for mac i now have a similar problem with Pages, whenever i edit a file or even create a file on IOS it doesn't appear in icloud.
    I did think it was something to do with me not selecting backup to icloud so i then spent £14 to upgrade my storage to 15GB and that hasn't helped.
    I've checked all the settings and can't see anythng that will cause the problem.
    My iphone is running IOS 6 and my Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    Does anyone know how to correct this mess?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Mick.

    Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I can't sort iTunes U lectures properly.  I can sort them properly on my laptop in iTunes, but when I transfer them to my iPhone, they are all jumbled up.  How can I fix this?

    I'm using my iPhone for listenting to lectures on iTunes U.  When I download lectures to my laptop, they are sometimes arranged non-sequentially.  I can fix this by renaming the files (e.g., with numbers in the titles), and then sorting by title.   However,  when I transfer the audio lectures to my iPhone, they are all sorted by "release date" (and frequently the release date is the same for each lecture), and this screws up the ordering.  This means that when I'm listening to the lectures, they are all out of order. 
    I can find no setting on the iPhone for changing the ordering of lectures in iTunes U, nor can I find a way of changing such things when the iPhone is plugged into my laptop.  For example, when I connect the iPhone to the laptop, and open iTunes, I select the device (i.e., the iPhone), look at the lectures in iTunes U, and iTunes will not let me change the column that sorts the files. 
    Any suggestions about how to correct this problem? 

    You can sort your library by adding a Sorting info in the File Info. Select a file in iTunes U, press cmd + i, choose Sorting Tab. For example add a Sort Name. For each file you have to put a value into that field, I did it with 01, 02, 03 .. 12. I do not know if this works if you select multiple files, but I did not try.
    The next time you sync your device, your files will be in order. It' ve tested it on an iPad2.
    If you ask me, there must be a better solution for that problem as the files have a track number saved in the info as well, and it is quite annoying to add the sorting order manually.

  • Suddenly stopped playing my purchased tv shows, how can I fix this?

    I have  been purchasing tv shows from iTunes & viewing them on my laptop for  a while, but suddenly none of the shows will play - I can open them, but they sit as paused on the screen.  I can change where they are paused, but they still will not play. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? I'm at a loss.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update, select 'View update history' in the left hand pane and then select 'Installed updates' link in the following window.
    Locate update KB2962407, right click it and select Uninstall.  When done, restart the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update and select 'Check for updates'.  You'll see the update you just uninstalled being offered again - right click and select 'Hide Update'.
    After this you may or may not need to delete and reload the Audio driver - if you do, the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.

  • My wife and I were sharing the same iCloud account. we now have separate iCloud accounts, I've switched over iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, but I can still see her old iCloud Tabs that were in her iPhone before we switched iCloud accounts. How can i fix this

    I have also turned off iCloud on my iMac, donme complete resets with clean fresh restores on my iPhone and iPad but her old iCloud tabs are still there?

    THis is an example. It's available with iOS 6.x and Moountain Lion. It's the iCloud icon that you see in the Safari toolbar.
    It allows you to view any page that's open on any of the devices using the same iCloud ID
