Family Share iCloud Data for iCloud Back ups

Is there a way that I can share my 200GB of iCloud space with my sisters to have them back up to my shared iCloud? They go over the 5 free GB and I have 180GB free to use. I feel that it is stupid for them to each pay more a month when I have plenty to go around.
Thanks.

Hello 13hartc,
no, unfortunately, iCloud storage cannot be shared between different iCloud accounts.
Best regards.

I know you can access up to 3 icloud back ups for a device, but is there anyway on to get the 4th one back?

Hello helpful peoples. I am in need of a back up from my Icloud that is nolonger available through the normal routine. Is there anyway to access older icloud back ups from the 3 that are given to you as an option when you delete and restore? Anyway through Apple? Or Icloud? Can you pay for such a service?
Thanks in advance.

What you see in the backup list is what you have to choose from. Many users see only one backup, not 3. Others see 3.
You can't get any older backups as they are deleted from the servers. You can't pay anyone to get back old backups - they're gone, I'm sorry to say.

Time capsule vs. External hard drive for periodic back-ups

Hope this is the right forum. At home I have the old "Back-Up" program that I use for quarterly back ups of certain files as scheduled. Love it. Was gonna set that up on our new(er) Macs here at work only to discover that program was replaced by Time Machine. Time Machine won't let me even in to see how it works without a Time Capsule or other External Hard Drive to connect to...
What I'm trying to do: Schedule monthly (or quarterly) back-ups for settings, certain important files and possibly certain programs from 4 office computers (3 iMacs and 1 Powerbook). Would love to back up to Mobile Me but can't seem to figure out how (Time Machine certainly won't let me). But then want to store the backups either online (like Mobile Me) or in a fire safe...
What I'm looking at: Possible options I've thought of include DVDs (which is really impractical), a 32 GB flash drive (but only would know how to get certain files on there), an external hard drive or a time capsule. But if I get either of those we'd only want to use it once a month and then keep it in the fire safe. Now I know Time Capsule is designed to do regular (daily, weekly, etc) backups... but can I use it to select what is backed up only at certain times and how hard/easy is it to plug in and out if I'm doing it that way. Or would it simply be better for what I'm looking for to get some other external hard drive?
I'm not very good at backing up info - but have to be responsible to at work (plus my brother just had a fire and he lost all his computers and info)... so simply not sure what is best suited for my needs?

Where has your "Back-Up" program been writing those backups?

Can you really afford to lose a month's worth of work on those computers?

In that case I'd use an external disk drive. Time Machine isn't really intended for what you want to do.

Can the iPhone 6 save 2 iCloud back-ups?

I changed my phone recently. The 2 phones are using different accounts for iCloud. Can the iPhone 6 keep the 2 back-ups at the same time without erasing the content of any of them? If so, how to?
Thank you so much for your answers

This is a customer forum. Please edit your post to remove personal and account information.
if you phone arrived damaged you should have notified the seller immediately by phone.
if the phone did not arrive damaged, the you damaged it. Dropping the phone is not the only way.
after 14 days, the buyers remorse periods over and you are stuck with a phone you can send to repair service, but will have to pay the deductible.

Old iCloud Back-Ups

My iCloud is running out of storage and I would like to delete some of the old back-ups from previous phones, but I want to retrieve the photos from those back-ups first. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

First create a current backup of your phone by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tapping Back Up Now at the bottom. I recommend you also back it up to your computer just in case. To do this, connect the phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Finally, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. You might also want to save your photo stream photos to your camera roll, then import the camera toll to your computer for safekeeping as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then to restore your iCloud backup you go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup as this will take a while to finish.

Can I delete my icloud back ups with out loosing my current data on my iphone 5

Hey guys. I was wondering if I can delete my iCloud backup with out loosing my current data on my iphone 5? I can not up date my phone because it says I do not have enough storage available. Yes, I have purchased more storage space on iCloud.
Thank you!

Yes you could delete backups without loosing anything on your device, but iCloud storage has nothing to do with your local device capacity. I guess that your device is just full and that you have to delete something like apps, movies etc to free up some space for other content.
iCloud uses its storage only for
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
purchases of apps, music, videos do not count against your iCloud storage capacity ( but please see also iCloud backup and restore overview http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859).

Apple family share - iCloud Family share

I have iphone 6 with IOS 8.1 and linked both my kids accounts but unable to see their music/apps and vice-versa. I would like to use the Family iCloud share settings so they can see my music/apps and vice-versa. How does this work? I seem to be missing a step to access this new feature.

Hello there, garyacole.

TS4576 Re: Confusion over automatic iCloud back ups.

I am getting totally confused, as to the procedure for automatic iCloud backups. The Apple Support suggests that as long as you are connected to Wi Fi and are plugged in and locked, iCloud will 'automatically' back up. My last back up, shows as 28 July 2014 and it is now 8 August. During that time, I would have definitely been plugged in and been on Wi Fi, so why has it not backed up? My usual means of backing up, is by going into Settings, iCloud, and clicking on Back Up Now. Why is my device, not backing up, 'automatically' where am I going wrong? Any guidance will be much appreciated.

If you are locking the screen before plugging it into your charger, try plugging it into your charger before locking the screen. (When you lock the screen on battery power, wifi drops to conserver battery power. I'm not sure that it will reconnect to wifi when you plug it in with the screen locked if it has already disconnected from your wifi.)

ICloud Back-ups Aren't Matching Up

Delete the music by syncing with iTunes with the music unelected then re-select the music and sync with iTunes to place the music back on your iPad.

A message saying I had to restore my iPad to factory settings came up, can I recover data from previous back-ups?

Tonight, a message came up on iTunes came up saying I need to restore my iPad to factory settings came up. Is there any way I can avoid doing a factory restoration? If not, can I recover data from previous backups?

If you got the message that you need to connect to iTunes, there is no choice now but to restore the iOS software. Yes, you can restore from a backup after you restore the iOS software.
You can only restore now by connecting to your computer and using iTunes, and at the end of the restore process, you will be asked if you want to restore from your iTunes backup to which you will say yes and then sync your iPad as well. Syncing will transfer all of your apps, music, movie, books, photos etc, back to the device. If you do not backup and sync with iTunes, you can still restore from an iCloud backup after you restore the software in iTunes.

The option of "use cellular data for" turns back on by itself for my apps. How do I fix this?

I´ve read many threads about this, but have found no clear solution yet.
I read somewhere that in order to save data usage, there is an option in Settings ->Cellular to enable/disable some apps from working with Cellular Data, so I went ahead and disabled several of my apps. However, when I check again (sometimes I go back to the home page of Settings and straight back into Cellular), all of the apps I disabled are enabled to use Cellular Data again. How do I fix this?

Ideal Drive Size for TM Back Ups

I have a new iMac with 250GB hard drive, recently we have been receiving notifications that the 140GB external drive used for TM is full, and we are only getting 5 days of Back Up.
Could someone advise what is the Ideal size BU drive for Time Machine? I think I would like to have a least 30-45 days worth of Back up maintained. I am looking a purchasing a new external to put TM onto.
Any advice on Firwire vs. USB?
Thanks.
MK

Is this a home setup, or a business setup?
Do you have TM configured for full backups each run (default), or have you configured it to backup only selected folders? That will make a huge difference in the size of each backup.
I forget if TM supports incremental and/or differential backups.
Differentials/incrementals only BU files that have been modified since the last backup. Obviously a space saving method.
If it does not support dif/inc, then to get 30 days of backup, you need to calculate the total size of the folders you are are backing up and multiply by 30.
That'll be a rough estimate of your minimum drive size.
However, best practice says you should store backups off site. (If something takes out your system, it may also take out your connected BU device as well)
A lot can happen in 30 days, so you may want to consider rotating backup media on a periodic basis - meaning you'll need at least 2 devices. The unused device needs to be stored somewhere other than in the computer room.
Since the backup period will be shorter, the size of the device can be decreased.

My 'backup' is taking up a huge space on my hard drive but I have an external hard drive for my back ups - how do i get rid of this?

Please can you help - I have recently added an external hard drive to my Macbook so it can be used as a back up and storage to save space on my hard drive. I have deleted videos and photos from my hard drive but they are being replaced with 'backup'
how do i get rid of this ?
thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine makes local snapshots in all portable Macs with Lion or Mountain Lion. They are made in the internal drive and they are removed when your hard disk gets full, so you don't have to worry about it.
If you want to delete them, turn off Time Machine and turn it on every time you want to make a backup. You can also turn them off manually without having to turn off Time Machine, or you can delete those local snapshots > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html

How can I delete old back-ups SAP/Oralce from TSM?

Hi all,
How can I set an expiration date for old back-ups so that they are deleted when reached that date? For our R/3 Enterprise 4.7 on Oracle 9.2.0.7 / AIX 5.2 we use TSM & Backint.
BR0278I Command output of '/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/backint

expir_period will not work when using a SAP agent for backup (backint).
for TSM, you cannot set an expiration date, but you can an expiration based on number of versions.
check http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itsmerp.doc_5.3.3/fbrg53m039.htm
you need to set a value for MAX_VERSIONS in your init[SID].utl file. Then, you init[SID].bki file will keep a count for versionning.
if you use both brbackup and brarchive, I would adive you use mutiple UTL files... and put links to multiple BKI files by adapting parameter CONFIG_FILE in your UTL file.

How do I restore my iPhoto library from a number of different back-ups (different dates) in Time Machine?

I recently upgraded my internal hard drive to a 1TB. Prior to this, I had been backing up to an external hard drive using Time Machine and then deleting the older photos to make room for the newer ones. Now that I have a large internal hard drive, I would like to restore ALL my photos back onto my MacBook so that they are readily available. I thought I could just go to each of the individual back-ups in Time Machine prior to deletion and "Restore All" and they would be ADDED to my existing iPhoto Library on my MacBook. However, once restored, it had REPLACED the existing library. Luckily, I had just done a back-up prior to this, so I haven't lost anything. But, I want to restore all photos from all back-ups stored on my external HD back onto my MacBook. How do I do this? I have made note of the 3 dates I did back-ups prior to any deletions, so I know exactly which back-up dates to restore.
Thanks for any help!
