Re: There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup

Why do repeatedly get this message when trying to turn on iCloud Backup on my iPad: There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup?

You really do have to sync after enabling iCloud on the device in iTunes. I just clicked Apply after enabling iCloud and it gave the error in the thread title. Went back to my PC, disabled it, synced, enabled it, synced, then synced to iCloud from the device and it worked a treat.

"There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup"

I currently have an iPad 2, and my husband has an iPod Touch (not sure of the generation - its about a year old). As of tomorrow, we'll both have iPhone 4S's. We both use my iTuned account for purchasing apps and music. I've finally got iOS 5 up and running on my iPad, with iCloud linked to my iTunes account. I've got my husband's iPod Touch updated with iOS 5. I set it up with his old iTunes account, and put my iTunes account into the 'Store' part of the settings, as the 'Apple IDs and iCloud' document suggested to do. But when I try to set his iPod Touch to backup to iCloud, I get the following error: "iCloud Backup Failed. There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup."
Any suggestions? Am I misunderstanding how I'm supposed to be doing this? It's not a huge deal with the iPod Touch, but I want to get this figured out before tomorrow, so that I can set it up so that my iPad and iPhone both sync to one iCloud account, and his iPod Touch and iPhone sync to a different one.

@uzagaku yes this works, and that's the only way to re-enable iCloud backup actually. No need to disable encryption, that's only for further local backups. But thanks for pointing out to that iCloud setting in iCloud .. I should have looked there immediately, obviously. As soon as it's activated there, the setting syncs on iOS. Remains that enabling iCloud backup from iOS should of course be possible, so there's still a huge bug there.

There was a problem enabling icloud backup (settings crashes)

I have an iPhone 4S with IOS 7.1.2 and i've been able to backup my phone prior to updating to IOS8.
After installing IOS 8 my phone became really slow and unusable and I went back to iTunes and did a full restore.
I've been able to get everything working again except the iCloud backup.
It was enabled after a fresh install but never actually backed anything up:
"there was a problem with icloud backup" and a daily backup is never performed.
The phone is fully charged
Connected to wifi
Whenever I try to backup manually it also fails.
I tried to disable icloud backup and enable it again but that didn't work either as now SETTINGS crashes everytime I enable the icloud backup setting.
any suggestions?

Make sure to change your backup selection in iTunes to icloud...you can't backup your phone to icloud unless iTunes is set to icloud.

HT1766 There was a problem enabling icloud backup

Everytime I try to turn on icloud on my 4s so I can backup my contacts to restore to my new iphone5
it tells me there was a problem enabling icloud backup.

It is saying cannot load storage plan as well

HT4539 when I click on icloud back up it says there was a problem enabling iCloud backup

Also not updating apps.

You'll get better answers either posting in the icloud or Pages, Numbers, etc. forums.

Backup Error: "There was a problem completing the backup."

Trying to get my iPad 2 to backup to iCloud and get a message that says "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later." Tried signing out of iCloud and then signed back in. Still have the problem. My iPhone backs up to iCloud on the same WiFi network without a problem.

1 ipod touch has this error. Another one will backup but shows the date as unknown. An iPad works fine. I can't believe it is a server error. I can run the iPad backup at the same time as the others and it works. Also I restored the touches to factory and the backups still failed. Swapped AppleID's and the errors followed the Id's. I wish there was a way to validate that the backups were good on the web side. In the manage storage on the one that fails completely, it show there is a backup with a size and allows you to turn off the apps that are backed up but I know it has never completed successfully. Even iTunes updates the date of the backup in the summary panel even though it has failed. This feedback in iTunes Summary and the Manage panel on the device could give a false sense of security. This needs some fixing from Apple. At least iTunes backups are working as I have restored aa few times now under iOS 5/iTunes 10.5.

Seems to be a common enough problem. I've deleted the partial failed backup from iCloud, restoring all 5Gb of storage. Then started a manual backup. After about 20 minutes I get the same error message. I have repeated this several times. According to my iTunes on my laptop I managed one backup to iCloud from there but it is pointless if u can neither backup to or restore from iCloud via my iPhone 4. I had hoped ios 5.0.1 would solve this glitch but ....
So much for "it just works".
I have yet to see any suggested fix that works for me. Any other suggestions?

IPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad .... network settings

"iPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad X you do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Make sure your network settings are correct and your connection is active, or try again." is the error. The rest of iTunes, sycning, and ipad operations work. I am on OSX 10.6.8. iTunes is the most recent addition.
I've been having this problem for a while but it has yet to go away. Any help please?

OK. Good. The most likely culprit is either your firewall or anti-virus software. Temporarily disable both while you are doing the update (then, of course, turn them back on when you are done).

How can I solve a Parse Error: "There was a problem parsing this package"

Hello;
I developed a really simple app in Flash Pro CC for android. I published it using AIR 13.0 for Android. When I tried to install it I received the Parse Error: "There was a problem parsing this package"
Im not sure if the problem has something to do with my app xml file, but here it is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

What do you think is the best to check?

i don't see any problem with your manifest.
try saving your fla and the published files to a new directory and see if the error resolves.

Unable to Redact or Bates due to Error: There was a problem reading this document (16)

I am using Acrobat Pro X. I have hundreds of account statements where I need to redact and bates stamp. Somehow I keep getting this error: There was a problem reading this document (16)
The files open and print fine. There is no security settings in the PDF that will disalllow me to do this. The next thing I checked to see if they were PDF/A but they were not. Also, I tried Print to PDF but it garbles up the PDF results. Re-scanning them is not a solution for me given the time it would takeme.
Any idea why I would get this error when the PDFs open, save and print ok?

This means there is an internal error in the PDF files, even if they seem to display OK. Contact the document creator.

Error : There was a problem reading this document (109).

hello, i have a lot of PDF Files that become corrupted ! i dont know why
and i receive this error message when i open the pdf file:
" There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (109)."
im using adobe acrobat 8 prof. also acrobat reader.
please can any one help me to solve this big problem.

When I encountered an error "there was a problem reading this document 110" in Acrobat Pro 11 on 28.7 MB CS6 file, it indeed was very frustrating.
I solved my problem, but since I don't know which step benefitted me, I've to enumerate all the steps I took:
Read below:
1.1. I could copy the file anywhere on the drive, but couldn't 'save as' from Acrobat Pro.
1.2. No document security was applied of any sort on the file.
1.3. Still in the first tab of the document properties, all details under advance section were empty. No 'PDF Version' 'location' 'file size' etc were populated. Nothing.
1.4. I couldn't change and save anything in any of property dialogue. I could comment on the text, but as soon as I tried to save, it gave an error (some sort of 'File reading' error).
1.5. When I tried to extract a page (I tried many), it gave 'reading error'.
1.6. I didn't try 'splitting error'. Since I was 100% sure, it'll give me same reading error.
1.7. I opened the file in Firefox and tried saving it as pdf from there. But no error, but no save either.
1.8. I ran 'Remove Hidden Information' from protection panel without any errors.
1.9. I tried 'sanitize document' from the same tab, but didn't succeed.
1.10. Then (here I think the problem was resolved), from Document Processing panel, I did some commands. 1st, 'Export all images', successfully. Then 'Remove all links', it found 0.
1.11. Then in 'print production' panel, I clicked/tried to open acrobat distiller. The same opened, did some processing. But I don't know if it did something in solving the problem or not.
1.12. Although I think my problem was resolved till now, but the last step I did was 'Saved As' the file (from the file menu) as a .ps file. Though I've not yet reopened/used that ps file (to convert it into a pdf file again). But around here I wanted to close the file and it asked me whether I wanted to save the file, I said yes. And it saved the file correctly. And I checked that in properties dialogue, the missing information was populated too.
1.13. Sorry for so lengthy instructions, but I had no choice.
