Everytime I go to turn on my iCloud backup I get "iCloud Backup Failed" what to do
Gail from Maine,
Thank you so much in your continued efforts to help me out. Much appreciated.
Here is what I see..
Can't select the backup = I go to Settings>iCloud>Backup (shows off). I select > Backup(off)> and see iCloud Backup grayed out (not selectable).
I have plenty of storage available: Settings>iCloud>Storage shows 195GB Available
When I select: Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage> My iPhone does not show up under the backup list. I use this iPhone with iTunes (if that matters).
When I select: Settings>iCloud>Photos(On)> iCloud Photo Library (Beta) is selected on and shows "Uploading 1,131 items". But does not start upload and the message always remains the same. Tried shutting the Photo Library (Beta) on an off and no change. Also tried it after the reset and sow no difference.
On that same Settings>iCloud>Photos page there is a selection Upload to My Photo Stream. Prior to installing iOS 8, pictures I took with my phone would automatically copy over to the photo stream on the other 3 devices on my account when in the presence of WiFi. The other 3 still do it and are all running iOS 8. This iPhone stopped doing it after the iOS 8 Update and installation of iCloud. It was working before on iOS 7.
The only different app that this iPhone has is a WirWatch, which is used to receive pushed e-mails from work onto my computer. This App was there when I was running iOS 7. Don't know if it could be the reason. But none of the other devises have this feature.
Thanks,
Dan R.

my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas on how to correct this? This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.
I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem. It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about. (there was a new iCloud release, hence...) No ETA for a fix yet. I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list. I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve). I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward. They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset. ;-)

Upgraded iPad 2 w/IOS 7. Battery drains to 0% even with iPad in sleep mode. Called Apple-they had me clear it. Battery charge held that night. Restored from iCloud. Charge not holding again. Any similar events? What to do?

It sounds very very much like the battery. You will need to have it replaced. If you put the failing one in yourself you will need to pay as your Warranty is now void.

After downloading the latest update for my Ipod touch, my playlists now go into "shuffle" mode everytime I try to play. I have turned off shuffle on both itunes and my ipod and even tried recreating the playlist and syncing with no luck. I don't know what is causing this, because before the last download, it never happened. Any ideas on how to fix?
Since this is an XP machine, which version of iTunes do you have installed? Is it the latest version?
Have you tried starting iTunes, attach the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod...that is the recovery mode but also should make iTunes see the iPod.
If that doesn't work you may need to take the iPod back and have it tested by the genius bar techs to make sure the connector is not bad. -

ublishing product information bit, any ideas?I went in to the itunes folder in "c:/program files/itunes' and launched it from there, I discovered it would launch itunes.exe without the configuration. So I just deleted all the itunes shortcuts from the start menu and desktop and recreated them from the itunes.exe in the program files folder.

My iMessage on my iPhone wasn't working, so I turned it off under Settings and then tried to turn it back on again. It hasn't turned back on yet. It says, "waiting for activation.". Any ideas?
Turn the Message App off from the Task Bar, reboot and try again.

Hi all, I keep getting emails saying my password has changed, I have now reset my password 4 times in the last 2 weeks with stronger and stronger passwords and have also changed my security questions, anyone got any ideas how to resolve this problem?
No. I am a volunteer, not always on good terms with Apple either. I'm sorry I don't seem to have helped but what I told you is what I would tell anyone in your situation.
I hope Thomas r won't mind me pasting one of his replies, but the thread is so long it could be daunting. Thomas knows about these things.
****** Courtesy to Thomas r.
As has already been pointed out earlier in this topic, the issue is either a repeated phishing attempt (in which someone sends you a faked e-mail, directing you to a faked site, which tries to get you to "log in" so that the hackers can get your ID and password) or someone is repeatedly trying to get access to your account. I'm guessing the latter is more likely... someone's repeatedly trying to reset your password, for who knows what reason, and they're trying repeatedly because they're never getting the password reset e-mail. (Why they would expect to receive that e-mail I don't know... people are stupid.)
Make sure your Apple ID has a good, secure password. (There is no need to reset your own password to do this, just go toappleid.apple.com and change it.) I'd also advise turning on two-factor authentication to further protect your Apple ID:
Apple introduces two-factor authentication
This will prevent password reset attempts, as it will not be possible to even start the password reset process without having access to the device used to receive the code used as the second identification factor.
Hope this helps. -
Keep getting prompts re: iCloud does not recognize my address. Any ideas?
Recently the system would not recognized my apple ID/password, so I simply clicked on "forgot" and reset it. Weird, but it happened. Now everything works fine, except I keep getting prompts from Contacts, Mail and iCloud informing me that iCloud doesn't recognize my ID (email) or it just can't connect. Wonder what this is all about? Everything works, but these prompts are driving me nuts!
Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. See if that stops the prompts for your password.
(This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your data will download back to your Mac when you sign back in.) -
Left iCloud - how to get iCloud calendars synced from iPhone?
Like many people have experienced, iCloud's calendar-syncing issues have made a mess of my calendar-dependent schedule.An unmitigated disaster. I finally signed out of iCloud, and left the iCloud calendars on my iPhone, the only place other than iCloud my multiple calendars currently exist, due to Outlook sync problems.
Now, I can't get the multiple calendars on iPhone to sync with ANYTHING else, not google calendar, not outlook, not iCal. Only the main calendar syncs up, noe of the colored other categories I was using.
If anyone has a notion of how to deal with this I'd be deeply appreciative. Thank you!!on copyEvents(sourceCalName, destCalName)
tell application "iCal"
set sourceCalendar to (the first calendar whose title is the sourceCalName)
set destCalendar to (the first calendar whose title is the destCalName)
set calendarEvents to (events of sourceCalendar) -- get the calendar's event list
repeat with myEvent in calendarEvents -- repeat for each item found in the source event list
--Don't bother with old events
if start date of myEvent > ((current date) - oldEntryDays * days) then --event is in future, or within prefs for old entries
-- gather relevant details of event to create new event with
set eventStart to start date of myEvent
set eventEnd to end date of myEvent
set eventAllDay to allday event of myEvent
set eventSummary to summary of myEvent
set eventRecurrence to recurrence of myEvent
-- create event in destination calendar with details of subscribed event
tell destCalendar
make new event at end with properties {summary:eventSummary, start date:eventStart, end date:eventEnd, allday event:eventAllDay, recurrence:eventRecurrence}
end tell
end if --if not older than 'oldEntryDays' days ago
end repeat --iterate through entries in source calendar
end tell
end copyEvents -
My iPhone will not power off. It automatically turns back on after trying to shut it off. Any Ideas?
My iPhone 5 will not power off. I hold the power button down and it lets me turn it off but then it automatically turns back on. It is as if I am just restarting it. Any ideas on how to fix it? I already had it exchanged and the replacement is now doing it.
I had this same problem about a year ago. It is most likely because debris has been caught in the cable connector. Get a cotton bud or something soft so that you don't cause any damage, and gently clean the inside of the dock connector of your phone. Do not use any liquids. Hope this helps.

HT4489 My iphone 4s will not back up my contact list to the icloud. Not sure why!! any ideas?
My Iphone 4s will not back up my contract list to the icloud. Not sure why? Any ideas. I have tried everything!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you mean sync, not backup.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing. -
It seems that--now that I have purchased storage from iCloud--I will be forced to store my documents, data, etc there and do not have the option of choosing not to store information. I tried to uncheck my documents and data option and the only choice I was given was to cancel the request or to have all the documents removed from my Mac! I cannot sign out and sign back in either. I restarted my computer but that hasn't helped either. Does anyone know what to do about this? It's crazy that Apple would hold my data hostage and offer me the option of using this service or not having access to my own information EXCEPT in iCloud. I wish I'd researched it more before I tried it. Buyer beware.

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
