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.

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??

Forgot -- one simple fix -- reboot phone LOL Done. iPhone is backing up to iCloud

How can I restore my iPhone from icloud with 2 different accounts?

I have two accounts. When I restore my iPhone from icloud with account A, the apps I bought with account B cannot be restored. What can I do?

The iCloud account is different from the iTunes store account, although you can use the same ID for both. in your case you can only use one iTunes account at a time to get previously bought apps, music, etc.Once you change to the other one, the stuff from the first account is deleted. In other words you can only realistically use one iTunes account. The same goes with iCloud. you must now decide which account for iTunes you want to stick with. apple does not let you merge two iTunes accounts.

How can I sync my iPhone to iCloud and also to my desktop Mac (which can't sync to iCloud)?

I would like to sync my iPhone to iCloud (since MobileMe is about to be removed) for backup, but my desktop Mac doesn't connect to iCloud as I run Snow Leopard (not running Lion, and I have no intention of installing Lion, having heard how many problems that caused to my friends).
Having tried to sync to iCloud with the phone, I'm now unable to sync with my desktop iCal or Address Book. Now, none of my appointments and reminders are being transferred between the two.
Any suggestions?

I would have to look at iTunes on an older version of OS X (I run Lion), but I believe it is possible to sync contacts on the phone with both Address book and iCloud via iTunes. This is normally a bad idea as the assumption is you would be syncing the Mac Address book with iCloud and would end up creating a sync loop and duplicate entries with every sync. You'll have to see.
It might be a better idea to switch to syncing contacts with Google until and unless you intend to upgrade OS X to Lion.

How can I sync my iphone and icloud both ways?

I am able to update my phone calander thru icloud on the computer but when I put things in my calander on the phone they do not update on icloud, can anyone help with this?

iCloud syncing should be bidirectional. Did you set:
Settings > iCloud > Calendars > ON
Settings > Mail.... > Fetch New Data > Push > Advanced > iCloud > Push
Settings > Mail..... > Calendars > Sync > All Events

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:

TS3694 how can irestore back my iphone 3G? it contains an error of 1015? pls help.

can anyone help me restore or fix error on my iphone... i was updating my ios back on my iphone from 4.1 to 4.2 when about to finish updating an error came out... i was trying to restore my phone but then again there is an error... error 1015 ... could anyone here help me? tnx!

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

How can I back up and restore my manually managed music from an old iphone to a new one?

At present, when I go to restore from a previous back up, my music is never transferred to the new device. I assume this is because I have the manually manage music option selected.
Is there a way to back up and add the same music and playlists etc from old iPhone to new iPhone without selecting the box that transfers everything from itunes?
As I have far more music than my iphone could ever take and I only want a selection. So if there is no way of doing this then I have to do it manually everytime? A very long winded task to go through entire itunes library picking it all out again!?!
Any help would be appriciated!?

Thanks very much!
Although I had to add everything again to the playlist, at least I can just copy it over in future!

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 can I unlock my iPhone in iCloud?

I locked my iPhone after It was stolen then I realized if it is locked it I cannot locate it because whoever stole it can't access the Internet. Is there any way to unlock the lock in iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can't unlock the phone remotely, indeed you don't need to. The phone can continue to be tracked when it is locked.
