Buy more iCloud storage - force iPhone to back up w/out access?

Here's my dilemma....
I changed my passcode. I quickly forgot my passcode. My phone is now disabled. I had 15GB of iCloud storage (upgraded) but had recently (past month) been getting a message that I didn't have any storage left.....
I want to restore my phone from iCloud; however I don't want to potentially lose items (contacts, photos, etc) that were added the past month.
Hopefully this makes sense.
Thanks for any insight you may have

I haven't sync'd to a computer..... I was given the iphone 5 for xmas and I was scared to sync to iTunes because I've done that with my 4 and lost stuff......
So when i set up the 5, i simply restored from iCloud. Worked great.
Right away it said I needed more iCloud so I upgraded to 15. Probably in early May i started getting messages that i needed more. Just hadn't gotten around to upgrading again.
So ideally, I could log into iCloud from my Mac, upgrade to 25 - somehow force my iPhone to back up then restore from iCloud. Not sure if its possible but seems like a good idea

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

HT204053 I put an iTunes gift card into my iTunes app and wanted to use it to buy more iCloud storage. How do I do that? iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. Help

Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

No, if you are getting an out of space message you will need to clear some space on your iPhone.

Trying to buy more icloud storage and keep getting "an unknown error has occurred"

I am trying to buy more icloud storage with my iphone and I keep getting "an unknown error has occurred"

Just saw the post from makras.
There are always a few problems with a new OS. Apple can't police every maker of crapware that's on the planet.
If you have a WD external drive, I would transfer (not clone) the files from it to another non-WD external drive that doesn't have crapware on it, and then erase the WD drive, and then never ever again buy a WD drive.
You will find many posts on the Apple Discussions from disgruntled narcissists (a few borderlines too) who blame Mavericks for their computer problems.
Mavericks is excellent (at least for me).
Every new OS has some incompatibilities with older software. That's why if someone is an early adopter, they should understand this, and if they have a low tolerance for frustration, or are uncomfortable with basic mac maintenance and troubleshooting, they should not be an early adopter.
Seems like the vast majority of problems that people complain about on the forums are related to crapware they have acquired on their computers from previous installations and promiscuous downloading habits.

Buying more iCloud Storage does Not increase the Storage Capacity of your Device.
If, for example... yours is a 16 GB ... it will Always be a 16 GB

Hi
I have the same problem. I discovered by using the iCloud control panel on my desktop computer allows me to get around the problem. You might want to explore that option.

Unable to buy more iCloud Storage

Hi, I am trying to buy more iCloud Storage but the storage is not being increased, and there is no error message. My iTunes Balance is not being decreased, and I tried several times. My iTunes Account has a Gift Card and there is no Credit Card entered. Can this be the problem? If so, will it work with non-US Credit Cards?
thanks.

iTunes gift cards cannot be used to purchase iCloud storage.
If so, will it work with non-US Credit Cards?
Yes, as long as you use the credit card that is associated with the same region / country you reside in.

Why do I keep getting "no token available when expected" when I try to buy more iCloud storage?

Why do I keep getting "no token available when expected" when I try to buy more iCloud storage?

I know that this is a known issue by all of the other threads, but I have not seen this error posted by people who have an active credit card attached to their account.
Is there no solution or even a workaround for this? Can Apple apply mroe storage if I call them?

I received "Not Enough Storage" and my iPad couldn't be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. I can't go to settings or power down because the touch screen isn't responding. I did buy more iCloud storage with my phone,

I received a message stating Not Enough Storage. This iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. The touch screen will not let me select settings to correct this. I did purchase more storage via my iPhone, but I still cannot get my iPad working.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Hi, I have an icloud account but I am unable to buy more storage. I tried from my pc and all other devises but it did not work, please help me?

You need to setup your own user account on the computer to keep independent iCloud accounts, contacts & calendars. Then sign in to your iCloud account in your user account.

If I need to buy more iCloud storage, will the money be taken from the cc I have on file or can it come from money I have in my iTunes account?

I need more iCloud coverage. I want the money to come from the balance I have in my iTunes account and not from the cc I have on file. Is that possible?

I should have said exactly as in your post body as opposed to the heading! They are opposites!
