That wholly depends on how much needs backing up and how good your network connection is.

  • HT5262 How long should the icloud back up take?

    How long should the iCloud back up take? I only have 4gb of storage but it has taken almost an hour already with approximately 2 hours remaining. 

    Hi RMaskery14,
    If you are concerned about the time your iCloud backup is taking, you may find the following article helpful:
    My backup is taking a long time to finish.
    Backing up and restoring takes time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your backup and the speed of your network, you may need more time than expected to complete the process. Using a reliable connection when backing up your device is highly recommended.

    Hi, Last time I synced my IPad with my PC, it (unknown to me) migrated all my PC "Favorites" (about 100 folders) to the ICloud.

    be appreciated. Thank you.

    What did you do to get them synced to the Cloud.  Would that procedure help me get my favorites synced to my iPad2?

    Have you tried 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.

  • How do i download my pictures from the icloud back to my phone?

    So i deleted all my pictures off my phone. But i have the icloud backing them up. How do i download them back to my phone from the cloud?

    You can also use iCloud Control Panel to copy them to your computer.
    You should regularly sync your photos to yoru computer and delete them form the Camera Roll.
    You can sync the photos you want back to the iPhone using iTunes.
    and not leave them in yoru Camera Roll.

    My 4s is locked on the iCloud back up screen.  It will not reset by holding down the power button.  Please help!

    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

  • How to turn on the icloud back

    i could not turn on the icloud back up button for iphone 5?it is shaded

    If the phone was provided by your employer, or if you added your employer's exchange email account, your employer may have installed a security profile preventing the phone from backing up to iCloud.  You also may notice that you have a setting called "Profile" in Settings>General, near the bottom.  You would have to confirm this with your employer's IT department.

    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • How do you download photos from the icloud back to your phone?

    How do you download photos from the icloud back to your phone? I want to save my photos on my hard drive and not in the cloud.

    iPhoto 9.2 (and higher) can move your Photo Stream files and store them permanately on your computer and move them to your phone.
    You can also move them on your iPhone from Photo Stream to Camera Roll.

  • How do I get iTunes songs off the iCloud back onto my computer, preferably without changing the purchase date to today's date?

    Trying to download previously purchased iTunes songs that are firmly embedded in the iCloud. At one point these songs were all on my computer. Then I idiotically joined iCloud. All the songs were sucked off and into iCloud. iCloud couldn't provide more than twenty seconds of any song without freezing whatever device, Macbook Pro, iPhone 4s, ipods, or breaking up the playback into fits and starts and finally silence, ever, no matter if the connection was cable or wireless.
    I have ever update on every device, I have the max. RAM, excess disk/flash space. The problem is the difficulty of downloading. Oddly the download to my ancient PC went almost without a hitch, it is with Apple devices that the trouble lies.
    About 2/3 of the songs have successfully downloaded to my computer. However the purchase date, which I used frequently as a search/sort function, have on many of the songs been switched to today's date, or the date of the latest download instead of my original purchase date.
    Many songs downloaded, many remain in the cloud with the 'cloud' icon beside them.
    Clicking on the "download all" icon doesn't download them all.
    They begin to download and then stop/freeze.
    I'm reduced to manually scrolling to each song and clicking on the 'cloud' to download, this works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. The whole thing usually crashes after a while.
    This is where I am now, at the iTunes store on the "Purchased" page with all my songs in a list with "downloaded" or a "cloud icon" in the far right column, frozen once again.
    I really would like to maintain the original purchased date(the day when I purchased the song from iTunes) but I'm to the point where I'd just be happy to get them downloaded onto the Macbook Pro, and hopefully never deal with the cloud again for the rest of my life.
    Lastly, if anyone can recommend an alternative music site to iTunes it would be welcome.
    Thank you.

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • How do I delete the iCloud back up from your previous iPhone that was used to restore my new iPhone?

    My phone was replaced yesterday by the apple store. I restored my data from my old phone onto my new phone. Now I am receiving alerts from iCloud that I do not have enough memory to back up my new phone. I noticed that I have the old iPhone , my iPad, and this iPhone. When I try to delete my old profile, the system does not allow it as it is currently in use. As a result, I cannot back up my new iPhone due to not enough memory. Is there a way to delete the old profile? 

    Hi Cynatalya!
    Here is an article that can help you manage your iCloud storage:
    iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847
    Specifically, this section addresses your exact question:
    Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your device
    iOS device
    Tap Settings, and then tap the iCloud icon.
    Tap Storage & Backup.
    Tap Manage Storage.
    Tap your iOS device in the Backups area.
    Tap Delete Backup.
    You will be asked to confirm this change. Deleting this backup will also turn off Backup of your iOS device. Choose Delete if you want to turn off Backup and remove all backups for this iOS device from iCloud.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
