Does exiting out of the iCloud backup screen cause your iphone to stop backing up?

I have always wondered when I am backing up my iPhone to iCloud if the backup stops when i leave the settings screen or if i hit the lock button to turn off my phone. I have always left my phone on the settings screen on the iCloud backup page because i wasnt sure.

Your iPhone should backup fine. You do not have to stay on the same screen. In fact, you can browse the internet with Safari if you wish.

My ipad screen is frozen, with the icloud backup message (this ipad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks ect)

Holding both worked for me as well. The problem occurred immediately after going back to the Apple store. Just purchased the ipad2 and the next day the view account button on data settings disappeared. They had to upload latest update and that resored it. The next day icloud froze the screen. Hopefully this fixes it.

I have the iCloud backup screen up and it won't let me do anything. It's stuck and I can't shut the ipad down or use the screen at all.

The iCloud back up screen it on my ipad. It won't let me do anything, turn it down or use any of the screen. I have even tried to force shut it down but it won't let me use the screen at all. I plugged it into my main computer to do a backup and it's still stuck.

It's rude not to share your solution and then mark your answer as correct so that it may help others. So in case anybody else reads 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 - let go of the buttons.
That will get you out of that backup screen. There is a reason that screens shows up. You haven't backed up your iPad! Make sure you backup regularly!

After deleting all data and trying to restore from icloud, How long does it sit on the choose backup screen after choosing your backup?

I backed up on icloud and then went to settings and deleted all data. When my phone restarted and I got all the way to choose icloud back up to restore, my phone has now sat on that same screen for over 2 hours now. Only thing that has happened was a message that popped up and said that could not connect to itunes server. Is it just frozen or is it actually restoring? I have tried restarting the phone and starting over several times, but everytime it just sits on this screen. My son did his and it was working within 20 mins.

And which account did you enter these contacts in?
On My Mac
or
iCloud?

Has anyone else noticed light leaking out from the top left corner of your iPhone 4s?

I took notice of this issue a while back. I haven't gone into apple yet but I will be going in today to see what can be done. I read other threads but they felt with older model I phones and I have te iPhone 4s so I am not sure if it would be the same case. Does anyone have te same issue?

Actually, it is not irrelevant. If other people are expeienceing the same issue, then they may have found a solution. Since I dont live anywhere near an Apple store, driving all the way to one and getting turned away would have been a wast of time for me and a wast of gas. By posting this question I was hoping to see if other people had found solutions such as going into Apple and possible gotting a new phone or something along those lines. So as you can see, other people experienceing the same issue could potentially create an avenue for someone elses solutuion. Afterall that is one of the reasons people use discussion boards and forums such as this one, to find soplutions for their problems via others experiences and such. Anyways thank you for your resonse.

ICloud backup failed on my iPhone 4. Is the way can solve the problem?

Troubleshooting specific alert messages
Note: If you have trouble remembering the text of any messages you receive, you might want to take a screenshot on your iOS device. You can take a screenshot in iOS by simultaneously pressing the Home and Lock buttons. The screenshot will then be saved to your Camera Roll or Photos collection.
Backup Alert Message
Explanation / Resolution
"A Wi-Fi connection is required to download your apps and media."
iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to restore from an iCloud backup. In this case, the attempted restore has not completed, and the iOS device is not connected to a Wi-Fi network. Make sure your iOS device is connected to a Wi-Fi network and is able to successfully connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi.
"Your iPhone could not be restored because you are no longer connected to the Internet"
Your Internet connection to icloud.com became inactive while you were downloading files for a restore. You should try the restore again from a more reliable network. Make sure your iOS device is able to successfully connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi.
"This iPhone is currently being restored and will automatically back up when it is done."
This message is displayed to indicate that backups cannot occur while a background restore is still occurring. You should allow the restore to complete and then trying backing up later.
"Restore Incomplete - Some items could not be downloaded from the Store. If they are on your computer, you can restore them by syncing with iTunes."
Some data was not restored, for instance, apps that were removed from the App Store for legal reasons. Wait a few minutes and then attempt the restore again while connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network. If the data that was not restored also exists in your iTunes library, you can sync it back to your iOS device via USB cable sync as a work around.
"Some items could not be restored from the iCloud backup."
Some data such as Camera Roll photos, videos, and app data was not successfully restored from the backup. Wait a few minutes and then attempt the restore again while connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network.
"Download Remaining Purchases? Not all purchased apps and media have been downloaded. Would you like to download these purchases, or delete them along with any app data?"
A Backup Restore appears to have been canceled by the iCloud user who initiated it. If this is not the case and you did not cancel the restore, you should restart the restore.
"If you restore this iPhone from an iPad backup, settings and iPad-only apps will not be restored."
This occurs when restoring an iPhone or iPad touch from an iPad backup. Only purchased apps (including their data) and books will restore.
"If you restore this iPad from an iPhone backup, settings will not be restored."
This occurs when restoring an iPad from an iPhone backup. Only purchased apps (including their data) and books will be restored.
"iCloud Backup is unable to access the account '[email protected]'. Review your account information in Settings."
iCloud is unable to authenticate the password for the iCloud account you entered in iCloud Settings ([email protected] is just used as an example here). This most commonly happens if you reset your iCloud password but have not yet done so in iCloud Settings on your iOS Device. This can also occur if authentication is not successful for other reasons, such as being unable to connect to the iCloud authentication servers.
"Your iPhone cannot be restored because another device is backing up. Try again later."
If you try to restore a device from the backup of another device, but the first device is currently backing up, you will see this alert. To resolve this, either wait for the first device to complete backing up, or cancel the backup on the first device and try the restore again on the second device.
"iCloud Backup requires that you verify your password."
t is necessary to enter your password to allow restoring of or adding to existing encrypted backups. Enter your password when prompted to resolve this issue.
"Any data that has not been downloaded will not be restored or backed up in the future."
This message is provided if you decide to cancel a background restore. If you proceed you will need to restore again to get all your data on your device, or redownload your music, apps, and other data some other way. The best way to avoid this is to not cancel a background restore. If you do cancel a restore, make sure you have copies of the data that was not restored.
"No backups available."
The account logged in to iCloud Settings has no backups online. This can occur if you have no backups, or if you have multiple accounts and you are using the wrong account in iCloud. You should verify your account in Settings > iCloud and then try again.
"Your iPhone cannot be restored because of a server error."
This occurs when a server issue caused the restore to not complete. This type of alert is rare and would usually occur due to a server-side time out. If you wait several minutes and try again you may be able to restore. If the issue persists,contact iCloud Support for assistance.
"There was a problem loading your iCloud Backups. Try again, set up as a new iPhone, or restore from an iTunes backup."
The Backup status check for your account did not complete. This could be due to a network timeout or other reasons. If you receive this alert, the easiest resolution is to simply wait a few minutes, verify you are able to connect to the Internet, and then attempt to restore again. If you continue to receive this alert, you should make sure your iOS device is able to successfully connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi.
"Your iPhone cannot be restored because there is a problem with your backup data. Choose a different backup to restore from."
Your Backup does not appear to be usable. If you receive this alert, wait several minutes and try again. If issues persists, contact iCloud Support for assistance.
General troubleshooting
If your restore completed but it seems like you are missing information:
Make sure you have an active and reliable Wi-Fi connection during the restore.
Verify that the data you are looking for is actually backed up to iCloud as part of the Backup feature. See this article for more information on what is backed up with iCloud Backup.
Some additional actions may need to be taken after a restore in order to completely restore your data:
Re-enter passwords for some apps such as iTunes Store, Game Center, and third party apps.
Use iTunes Match (U.S. only) to download songs, albums or playlists to your device.
If iCloud Backup is still restoring actively, it's a good idea to let it finish what it started. However, if you continually receive unresolvable alerts, you may restart the device.
If issues persists, contact iCloud Support for additional assistance.

Hi,
I'm receiving the information that "No backups available.", but if i log in my icloud I find the backup.
What can I do?

TS4036 Can you change the iCloud backup date to a previous backup date?

Can you change the iCloud backup date? My iPhones processor went out and erased all of my information and saved that as my last iCloud backup, is there a way to restore my phone for the day before this happened to get all of my information back?

Long story short, I had to make a clean install of OS X (mountain lion) when I was outside my country, and if I can't show the guy at the customs back home that I purchased the macpro before making the trip, I'll have to pay taxes for it.
I could have filled the papers for that but I almost miss the plane and there was a long queue.

ICloud Backup Screen

I'm a little confused as to what what the iCloud Backup screen means.
Could somebody define what the difference between Backup Size and Next Backup Size is? There seems to be quiet a large gap between those to. Right now back ups only take 3 or 4 minutes so I assume that the bulk of the backup (the pictures) have already been uploaded. However, if the pictures have been uploaded shouldn't there be more than 7 GBs used?

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 - let go of the buttons.

I have an iPad Mini which after being on charge has now frozen with the iCloud Backup box in the middle of the screen which in spite of pushing OK many times will not go away or unlock the screen or iPad

I have an iPad Mini which after charging has now frozen with the iCloud Backup text box in the middle of the screen and OK 'button' registers when tapped but remain locked with nothing operating. It is fully charged.

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
