Backing up iPad to the cloud

if i back up my photos and videos to iCloud and then delete them from my iPad will I loose them from cloud as well?

Upload your photos and video to Dropbox before you delete them from the iPad.
Don't use iCloud, you can loose all your photos and videos if you backup again after deleting them from iPad.

TS3682 I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1! This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken scre

I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1! This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
Resolution
Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

I'm going from an IPAD1 to an IPAD4. If I back up my IPAD to the cloud and then download to the new IPAD, will it retain game data so I won't have to start my games over?

Yes, however you would be much better backing it up to iTunes to do this rather than iCloud.

Is there any way of saving progress in a game/app when you remove it from the ipad to the cloud

Is there any way of saving progress in a game/app when you remove it from the ipad to the cloud.
Basically i have a 16gb ipad2 (big mistake) so space on the ipad is precious. obviously i occasionally need to remove games/apps to make way for other apps from my cloud. The problem is, when I remove an app to make way for the new app I lose all my progress in that game apart from the option to save leader-board stats (which is the least important thing to me). Its very annoying to get so far in a game only to have to remove it to make way for a movie and lose all my progress!!!!!
Any way round this?

I do not know how to save game data when deleting an app, but as for updating, if you connect the ipad to a computer and do the update through itunes, you will not have to download the update package to the ipad just to the computer. so you don't have to free up quite so much space, as for movie and photo storage you can look at the sandisk wireless and airstash wireless SD card adapters, they create their own wireless network and come with apps that allow you to store and then stream movies to the ipad instead of loading them to the ipad storage.

My iPhone 4S says I need to back it up to the Cloud. I have a MacBook Pro. How do I back up my phone to the Cloud? Can't I just hook it up to my computer? Thanks!

As a non-tech person, I don't know what I'm supposed to do when my IPhone 4S says I should back it up to the Cloud. I've plugged it into my MacBook Pro, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. What should I be doing? Thanks!

Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

Best Way to Back up Video to the Cloud?

I wish to preserve my movies and have decided to back them up to the cloud. I would like recommendations; perhaps Amazon Cloud? Also, is there anything else I should know? Thanks!

I am using CrashPlan for this.
CrashPlan lets you seed your cloud backup with a 1TB disk drive that they send you, so that you only have to send online new files, or files that will not fit within 1TB.
I currently have about 1.5TB backed up to the cloud. I have all my DV, all my h.264, and all my VHS and Hi8 backed up to the cloud. For my AVCHD, I only backup the archive copy from the camera, and the completed movie, because the Apple Intermediate Codec versions of the Events are too large to backup to the cloud on a timely basis. So the Archive copy is fine, and it is the first generation copy anyway. I also backup my documents folder, my iTunes library, and my iPhoto and Aperture libraries to the cloud.
I have a fast internet connection with 50 Mbs download and 10 Mbs upload.

Just got new iPad could not restore from iCloud because of operating system had to set up as new to upgrade now how do I get back to restore from the cloud?

I just got a new iPad it had 6.0 iOS and it would not let me restore from the cloud . I had to set up as new to update to 6.1 iOS now I can't find my backups in the cloud help please..

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

Looking for a calendar that syncs with my other iPad in the cloud?

I have tried numerous calendar/agenda programs, but none sync easily through the cloud with my other iPad. Could be me being inept. Trying to input appointments on my iPad at work and sync it with my iPad at home. Appreciate any help. Thanks Peter

Isn't it just called 'Calendar' ? The one with a red bar across the top. If you've put other calendar apps on the phone take them off because they'll take over some of the functions of the Apple software and stop it working properly.
Make sure you're using the same account on both iPads. For instance, you might have one connected to your 'work' account and the other connected to your 'home' account.
If you enter an event into an iCloud calendar using one device, and it's connected to the internet, it should quickly show up on all devices using the same iCloud calendar, as soon as they can connect to the internet. If that's not happening, something is wrong with your setup.

How can I move documents from my iPad to the cloud?

I am trying to move documents into the cloud from my iPad. Every time I select the upload icon, only my photos show up. How do I find my documents?

squirrels,
To save a single PDF document on iPad to Acrobat.com (i.e. one document at a time)
Open a PDF document in Adobe Reader for iOS.
Tap anywhere in the document to display the toolbar.
Tap this icon in the toolbar.
Select "Save to Acrobat.com".
If prompted, sign in with your Adobe ID.
If you want to transfer a lot of PDF documents on your iPad to any cloud storage service, you can transfer them to your Windows/Mac desktop computer using iTunes first.

How do I delete music from my iPad and the cloud?

How do I delete music from my iPad without it being downloaded again from cloud? Please help.

Hi roy1939,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The variable that has changed with iOS 7 is the "Show All Music" option in Settings > iTunes & App Store. This feature displays your iTunes in the Cloud purchases on your device (while they are not locally stored). You can identify these by the "cloud download" icon on the right.
To hide your iTunes in the Cloud purchases, disable this feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.

Remove a song from iPad. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPad, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
Cheers,
Judy
