Cannot turn on icloud backup after downgrade to iOS 7.1.2

I own an iPhone 4S which I upgraded to iOS 8 on 21st September. The iphone and most of applications (even phone) crashed all the time so I decide to downgrade to 7.1.2 after following instructions found in these communities. I did it just yesterday.
Now I cannot turn on iCloud Backup to my iPhone. The iCloud drive of course disappeared from Settings > iCloud, however it's still visible when I access the iCould in web. Moreover in iCloud web interface my iPhone appears as running iOS 8 and X Yosemite which is not true. My iPhone has 7.1.2 iOS.
I tried to erase my iPhone and restore it from a backup I made yesterday but I have the same issue: iCloud could not be enabled. It was enabled finally after hard reset but when I select "Backup now" the app crashes and throw me in the Home Screen. I see a message: this iPhone has never been backed up on iCloud and the last backup could not be completed.
Please help!!!!!! I want to be able to have iCloud Backup (most important settings and contacts, sms etc.) as I did usually before upgrading to iOS 8 and downgraded to 7.1.2.

Hello,
Been experiencing the same problem, finally fix it by deleting your old iCloud backup from iOS 8.
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Click on your device name > Scroll down to bottom > Delete this backup.
Then try to turn on the iCloud Backup setting toggle again.
Hope this helps.
iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2, downgraded from iOS 8

  • I can't turn on iCloud backup on one of my phones after updating to ios7 - help!

    Updated both iPhone 4S to iOS 7, I can get the iCloud backup for one phone, but I don't have the option to turn it on on my other phone. I have reset, uninstalled, reinstalled, signed in/out, I can't figure out what to do. I've had no other problems, is not a storage issue, as we had previously purchased more storage and it still shows that we have a huge amount left. I appreciate any help, thanks!

    Are you saying that the setting to turn on iCloud backup is missing?

  • Can I turn off iCloud backup and keep my old backup?

    Basically I am sick of being asked for money for more storage space. I cannot seem to get my iPhone backup under the 5gb free space, so the only option I see is to turn off iCloud backup. Can I do this without deleting the old (original) backup?

    No.  When you turn it off it removes your existing backup.  You'll have to back up to your computer using iTunes (after turning off iCloud backup it will automatically back up when you sync).

  • Does turning off iCloud backup delete backup

    I am thinking of making a monthly backup of my devices in iCloud as I still prefer (sorry) to use iTunes on my PC. The idea is to have the previous  months backup available in iCloud should any problem occur.
    If I backup to iCloud and then revert to backing up using itunes on my PC between iCloud backups does this delete the iCloud backup after a certain time period?
    Thanks

    Hello antdude,
    turning off iCloud  wouldn't affect any of your locally stored documents. Just turn the feature off by opening System Preferences > iCloud.
    Oh OK. The message was confusing me: http://i.imgur.com/kZOu5zr.png ... It sounded like disabling iCloud would delete my Mac's local copies.

  • How can i recover my photos if i restored my phone but turned off icloud backup?

    how can i recover my photos if i restored my phone but turned off icloud backup?

    Do you have any backup at all for your device? If you do, then you can restore from that backup and get any photos that were on it. If you have imported your photos to your computer, you can sync them back to your device via an iTunes sync. If you had Photo Stream turned on, you can recover your Photo Stream for the last 30 days or 1000 photos on that Photo Stream (whichever comes first) by signing onto the iCloud account that the Photo Stream was turned on for.

  • Is there any way to set up my iPhone as an iCloud backup after I've already set it up as a new iPhone?

    Is there any way to set up my iPhone as an iCloud backup after I've already set it up as a new iPhone?

    If you mean you want to restore from an iCloud backup, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again and when given the option choose to Restore from iCloud Backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766).

  • Do I need to turn on iCloud backup for auto sharing between my iPad and iPhone, example photos, reminder, notes, contacts, etc

    When I turn off iCloud backup then I think my iPad, and iPhone stop sharing contacts and reminder phone stream etc, so do I need iCloud backup to be turned on

    No. Backing up to iCloud is entirely separate from syncing data with iCloud to your other devices.  Backing up to iCoud is entirely optional and turning it off shouldn't effect your iCloud syncing in any way.

  • I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps

    I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps. Any tips or help would be appreciated

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • HT4847 Can I temporarily turn off iCloud backups. From time to time I'm limited to dialup internet service. iCloud's taking over the connection, preventing simple eMail exchanges.

    When you switch to iTunes backups, the device will start to make any further backups to iTunes on your computer. It will only do this when it is connected to iTunes and a power source. (If it is set to sync/backup wirelessly, it will only do so when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network)
    When you switch back to iCloud backups, it will basically resume where it left off and start to back up once again to iCloud. There is no moving of backup files between iTunes and the cloud when you switch between backup options.

  • When I turned on iCloud backup now when I synch to iTunes it asks if I want to set up as new phone or restore from backup. Why?  I have been synching this iPhone to this computer fine since I got my iPhone 4S.

    1. set up as new
    2. transfer you wife's purchases.
    3. Just in case create one computer back up manually.
    Enjoy.

  • HT4623 I cannot connect to my wifi after updating to iOS 6

    I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.  I cannot connect to my wifi after updating to iOS 6.  I updated while connected to iTunes.  I can no longer connect to the wifi that I had previously used at that location.  However, I can connect to all of the other wifi areas I had previously connected to ie. home, coffee shop, etc.
    I have tried turning off cellular data..  Other than not being able to connect to my office wifi it appears that iOS 6 is working properly..
    Thank you in advance for your assistance

    I have the same problem too and I have not been able to "fix" it. It is very frustrating! My other electronics connected to my wifi:  pc, ipad, iphone 3G,and TV they all working fine. I went to the Apple store and they say this problem is ralated to my network provider, then when I went to AT&T they say it is Apples problem. Who do you believe?

    my iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?
    also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

    You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
    USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Why I cannot use SIRI in Japanese after updated to ios 5.1?

    Why I cannot use SIRI in Japanese after updated to ios 5.1?
    I can see the language is there but it doesnt work

    Check your settings to make sure Siri is actually enabled.  Sometimes I find that Siri will disable during the updating process.  Oh, and it should be iOS 6.0 not 6.1.  6.1 doesn't exist...yet.
