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?

  • There was a problem completing the backup

    Hi,
    I purchased 500go of space on Icloud, and was hoping to make a backup of the content of my iphone5 64go.
    After a few hours got the message "there was a problem completing the backupé".
    Tried again and got the message again.... still, it does seem to backup because my iphone slows down my connection network as it saturates my upstream. I can feel this when connecting to the internet from my computer: it all is slower and get back to normal speed when I turn off the wifi of the iphone.
    Could it be possible that the backup is still happening although I got the error message ?

    Stll no backup even after a night with iphone plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. Anyone got any thoughts on the matter.

  • There was a problem completing the backup - help.

    Does anyone know why my iphone 4 continues to display 'there was a problem completing the backup, please try again later.'
    My ipad2 backs up to the cloud perfectly which I updated to ios5 on 13th October.  I have only used 300 megs so far.
    Iphone was updated to ios5 on the 12th October. I have asked the iphone only to backup minimal data to rule out lack of space.
    I have synced to itunes numerous times. I will attempt to leave it plugged in tonight and connected to wifi to see if it does it automatically,
    but it did not do this last night when the ipad2 managed to do it. Basically, when I click back up now within the iphone it displays the
    'there was a problem completing the backup, please try again later.' error after 10 seconds or so.  Is it server overload still at this point or
    what? Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

  • Exchange setup error: "There was a problem accessing the registry on this computer"

     Hi,
    i am trying to install Exchange 2007 SP1 in a Windows 2003 Server standard 32 bits version.
    During the "Readiness checks" i received the next error in "Hub transport role prerequisites":
    Error:
    There was a problem accessing the registry on this computer. This may happen if the Remote Registry service is not running; it may also indicate a network problem.
    Remote Registry service is running. I've searched for the error in google and in some topics appears that the error is due to the "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing" is not installed in the LAN properties. The server has 2 network cards and in both of them is checked. One of the connections is disabled.
    I dont know what more to do, any help will be appreciated.

  • Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.

    Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.
    If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

    As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

  • Ipad ios 4.2 update error - "there was a problem downloading the software..

    Hi All -
    Super excited to get 4.2.1 up and running. I had the buggy beta of 4.2 running on my iPad but now when I try to restore my iPad to get the most recent version of 4.2.1 running, I get this error:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The requested resource was not found.
    I've restarted iTunes and the computer and I'm still getting the same error. I've looked for the .ipsw file online but can't seem to find it anywhere. It's not an Apple's Support/Downloads section either.
    Anyone know where to download the new update? I'm dying without Airplay, Airprint and so on not working here.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    this should have been addressed by Apple I guess, but luckily we found out the solution in the company. Yesterday all our iPads (with 4.2 beta iOS for dev) stopped working, displayed the Connect to iTunes scrren and throw errors when trying to sync like 'The requested resource was not found' (when tried to Restore) and Error Code: 0xE800005D (when iTunes first just tried to reinstall apps).
    Here is what we did to reanimate all four iPads in the company:
    First you need to enter Recovery mode with the iPad, then recover the iOS software (probably the latest). Here is how to do it:
    1) Fire up iTunes on your computer, and plug in the USB cable in the computer, but not in the iPad!
    2) Do a hard reset, ie. press and hold down Sleep/Wake and Home buttons simultaneously, don't bother with the switch off prompt, just keep pushing the buttons.
    3) When the screen goes blank, but before the Apple logo comes up, release the Sleep/Wake button and quickly plug in the USB into the iPad too. Keep pushing the Home button, until the Recovery mode dialog in iTunes comes up.
    4) Act according to the prompts, and wait for the image to download and extract (can be 10-15 minutes depending on your internet connection, the image is some 550Mb).
    That's it, you can safely restore your apps and other content to your recovered iPad.
    Hope this helps,
    David

  • 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).

  • When I open Firefox 4 RC1 by clicking an external link (as from my desktop) I get an error: "there was a problem sending the command to the program"

    A box with this error: "there was a problem sending the command to the program" always pops up upon clicking any URL sitting in my desktop (or from any other folder). It will not happen if Firefox is already open. However, it is only an annoyance as the page fully opens with no problem.
    It started after I downloaded Firefox 4 beta ver 12. It continued after upgraded with RC1. It did not happen in my latest version of Firefox 3.6.x which I removed after installing 4 RC1

    This has happened to me many times but on the older FF 3 It could be a small bug, One should list the PC's being used as it could be related? Mine is an E-Machine Mod, W3609 running W7.

    I keep getting the error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone.  The host is down?

    Thanks so much for your reply.  In the meantime, everything else is working.  I called Apple support and they were very unhelpful, wanted to charge me for support on a phone I'm trying to get rid of to upgrade to the iPhone 5, but, I can't get rid of it until I synch it to my computer....  Any suggestions to see what's blocking it?

  • How can I back up ipad on icloud? Keep getting message "There was a problem completing the back up. Please try again later." I have, many times! The trouble shooting info does not resolve the problem.

    How can I back up ipad on icloud? I keep getting the message "There was a problem completing the back up. Please try again later." I have done so MANY times! I've followed the instructions ( I believe!) and the trouble shooting info does not resolve the problem. Can you please help?

    I had this exact same problem because the router i had in my house was having interference issues and the speed was too slow to do it.
    I would download a speedtest app on your iPad and see how fast your internet is.  I think the app is called speedtest in fact.

    Thank you, Mary

    you can download your software now and use the trial (which is the same as the full product except it's limited to 30 days use).  when you get your serial number you can convert your trial to the full non-time limited version by clicking help>sign in (or activate) so there's no need to uninstall, reinstall etc.
