Can't back up mini in iCloud since iOS 7

SSince my iOS update to 7 my mini has not backed up. My iPad 4 no problem. Thought it was doing auto backup but not since 9/22 when updated iOS . Tried toggling cloud backup off and on no help. Tried reboot no help. Can't afford to lose data. Obviously my iPad 4 does not have the data if my mini isn't speaking to cloud. Need some more ideas. Thanks much!

If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

"I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
That was all I could put in the initial "box." Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.

After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.

Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before

Can I back my photo to icloud, delete photos in my phone, and access my photos wirelessly when I need them?

can I back my photos to icloud, delete photos in my phone, and access my photos wirelessly when I need them?

No you cannot. once you delete them off your phone the only way you can view them wirelessly on your phone is by connecting your phone back to the computer and putting them back on your phone. Otherwise you cannot access them wirelessly.

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.

ITunes can't back up iPhone to iCloud

I don't understand. If I'm NOT backing up iPhone to my computer, but instead want to back it up to iCloud, why do I get a message in itunes that says "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because not enough free space available on this computer.
But I'm backing up to iCloud just for that reason, because I know I don't have enough space on my computer. If I did, I'd back up my iPhone to my computer so I have control of it, not the Cloud. But I have no choice for a backup.
Do I not NEED iTunes to back up to iCloud? Do I just back it up via my iPhone??

My photos aren't backing up to my PC since iOS 7 update

I've checked everything and everywhere and it appears my photos aren't being backed up to my PC since I upgraded to iOS 7 or shortly thereafter. Possibly since the 7.0.2 update? The date of the last picture was 10/07/2013.
What is in my photo stream folder (somehow was renamed iCloud Photos), is kind of weird. The photos are all there in duplicate, but the duplicates have dates in December of 2012??
Would love your suggestions of what I can do to get my photos to back up to my PC automatically. I've checked both the iCloud Control Panel on my PC and the settings on my phone and both appear to be set correctly. I can see my photos on my iPad, so they are being streamed into the photo stream. TIA

Can't synch mail, contacts, calendars in iCloud since IOS 7

Since I installed IOS 7 on all of my devices, I cannot synch "mail, contacts and calendars" in iCloud Control Panel 3.0. When I try to check the box, a sync appears to be setting up but I get an error message before it can complete. I have sent the "Report" but this issue continues. I have reinstalled iCloud 3.0 and trid again, but to no avail. HELP! I need my iPad and iPhone to syc with my Outlook 2010 Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks.

TS4009 all of my audio purchases from itunes are stored on my iphone which is taking up all of my memory. can i back them up to icloud? i tried to sync with my itunes library, but the library on my computer doesn't contain all of my songs.

All of my purchases from iTunes are stored on my iPhone and taking up all of my memory. I want to store the music in iCloud if possible, but I can't get it to work. I tried to sync my phone to iTunes, but the library on my computer is all screwed up! I backed up my library to my harddrive, but now a lot of the songs aren't there and the ones that are there have multiple duplicates! If I try to sync my phone to my computer I'm afraid it will sync to the current library on my computer and I will lose all of the music on my phone! HELP this is driving me crazy!

There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

How can I back up documents on icloud?

Can I use iCloud to back up important documents? How?
Thanks!
Ed

iCloud does not provide general file storage in the manner of the late lamented iDisk. You can use it to sync iWork documents between your Mac and your iOS device, and you can back up your iPhone with it, but not your Mac.
if you want general online backup you will have to find a third party solution - this page examines some options:

How can I back up iPhone to iCloud manually?

I have iPhone 5 with iOS 8.0.2. I used to be able to go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and then be able to see when was the last automatic backup and I could "Backup Now" if I wanted. I am set up for automatic iCloud backups. Now when I go to Settings>iCloud, there is an item "Storage", but there is no "Storage & Backup" and no button for "Backup now" and no information as to when was the last automatic iCloud backup. Am I missing something?

It's now Settings-iCloud-Backup (between Passbook and Keychain on my device). Tap Backup and then you should see Back Up Now.

Can not back up anything on icloud

please help trying to back up to icloud and it says not able to back up i turned wifi on and it dowloads half way then turn off and does not back up all the way or anything at all

Welcome to the Apple Community.
For the avoidance of doubt, you mean it backed up to your account when he was using your account don't you, not that it still backs up to your account.

How can I back up everything to icloud apart from my music.

Hi I live in the french alps and I listen to my iphone music all time when skiing and working, if I back up my music and I cannot get 3G or wifi I can't listen to my music?
AM I being dumb or is there an easy answer?

You merely need to download them while connected to a network (preferably wifi).
Yes you can download full playlists, albums etc this way (note the download all option in the screenshot below)
Another feature you may find handy is the ability to show everything in iTunes match or just that which is actually on your phone (settings > music > Show all music. Indeed I find this option so handy, i wish they'd move it from the settings to the app.

How do I delete my email? When I go into settings it says I have 51 gm in mail. I can not back up to the icloud

How do I delete emails from the icloud

Connect your iPod to iTunes, then click on the iPod icon in the source list so that ALL of its content is listed in the content list to the right of the source list. Sort the content list by whatever will make it easiest to find the video you want to delete (i.e., Name, Artist, etc.). Scroll down the content list to locate the video, then right-click on it and select "Clear" from the pop-up menu.
