How do I back up my iPhone to iCloud without using wi-fi?

I am currently out of wi-fi range.  However, I have my iPhone  connected to my PC.  I bring up iTunes and selct my phone, then go to Summary page.  Select iCloud as the Automaticly Backup and then select Back Up Now.  It will back it up to the computer, but NOT to ICloud.   How can I get the backup to my iCloud space?

You can only back up your phone to either iCloud or to iTunes on your Mac, which do you wish to do.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

    You can't. iCloud backups can only be done over wifi.

  • How can i move photos from iphone to icloud without a computer?

    I keep running out of space on my iphone (4s) because of the number of photos. I have 15 gb of unused icloud storage but can't figure out how to move the photos from iphone to icloud so i free up space on the iphone. I do not have a computer.

    Did you purchase the music from the iTunes store?  If so, you can download it again for free as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.  If the music was from other sources (ripped CDs, etc.) you have to sync your phone with iTunes on a computer to transfer it to your phone.

  • How do i back up my iPhone to iTunes without having to type in the password on my phone?

    Basically i have a broken iPhone screen and the touch doesn't work, Therefore i cannot put in the password on my phone to allow iTunes to back it up on my Mac OR my Windows laptop so i don't loose everything on there, Is there a way to bypass this so i can back it up without having to type the password?

    I have done this but it says for me to back up my iPhone I have to type the password in on my actual phone to unlock it to the homepage, I can't do that as the touch on my screen has broken, I just want to know if there is anyway I can skip that step so I can just back it up as a normal unprotected password phone.

  • Can you transfer an iPhone back up from PC to iCloud without using iTunes?

    All self explanatory.
    Having major issues with iTunes, so I'm wondering if there is a way I can bypass iTunes to transfer the stored backup to the iCloud so I can restore my phone?

    An iphone backup stored in itunes cannot be copied to icloud as an icloud backup.  Nor can a computer copy down an icloud backup.

  • How do i back up my iphone to an external hard drive and not my computer

    How do I back up my iphone to an external hard drive attached to my pc and not my pc?  My disk on my pc is almost full and even though I selected the external hard drive it still seems to try to back it up to my computer, then says I don't have sufficient storage.  I cahnged my folder under preferences to the External Drive folder.

    This is where iTunes stores backups for different operating systems: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    I do not use a Windows machine, have a Windows Vista Dell I rarely startup now.  But, from what I remember with Win boxes is, you will have to create on the external hard drive a file system like that one iTunes normally uses, and then in the iTunes preferences or control panel edit the location for the storage to specify the name of the external hard drive, or its letter code, with the name of that file system you created on the exernal drive.
    I would also move all of the files from the internal file system to the external since you have now told iTunes that is where they are...before deleting from the internal drive, test iTunes to see that it goes where you want it to go.
