How to backup to my Mac iPad backup in iCloud

I received a notification by email that lets me know that I'll have to free up space of my iCloud storage, this because the 20GB plan expires automatically and is gonna downgrade to 5GB this september 30th. I need to backup back to my Mac a backup of my iPad. I cannot find out the way to do it. Apple, "thanks" for the courtesy of let me use this "stunning" 20GB backup service but you are obligated to supply a easy way to recover our data. Those elegant and simple Apple's manners are gone.

Sorry for the complaint, never thought this "free" space were intended for contemplation. Then this guys who pay doesn't have a backup tool? Nothing to thank to Apple, common silly. Talking about brilliant advices: go and get a girl, handsome . Don't make me cry with this overwhelming story of Apple's carities.

How do I move all my ipad photos to icloud? .

How do I move all my ipad photos to icloud? Since the last software update none of my ipad pictures upload to the cloud. i just want to empty all the picture to the cloud and free up the ipad.

You turn iCloud Photo Library on in Settings > iCloud > Photos. However it doesn't "empty" the pictures to the cloud. The most you can do to free up space using iCloud is to turn on Optimize Storage to keep a smaller device-sized version of the photos on your iPad. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.

How do i delete an old iPad from my iCloud? I have restored the iPad to factory settings but it is still showing in my iCloud.

How do I delete an old iPad from my iCloud? I have restored the iPad to its factory settings and linked my new iPad however the old one is still showing in my iCloud.

Hello Erin,
You can and it depends on what you are referring to. For example, are you wanting to remove you old iPad from the Find My iPhone feature, you can do that at iCloud.com and the steps for that are in the first article. If you are wanting to delete an old back up, then check out the second article to walk you through those steps.

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
How to do this, without iCloud?

You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want. Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way. While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe.
Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

How can I delete photos from iPad but not iCloud?

Before setting up iCloud, my girlfriend downloaded photos from her camera to her iPad. We now have iCloud set up, but the photos on her iPad remain in the "Photos" album instead of Photo Stream. I would like to delete the photos from the iPad to free up storage space, and move them to the Macbook. I'm guessing that I would need to somehow move them to Photo Stream then delete the old album where they were stored on the iPad... Any ideas?

How to turn off Find My iPad and delete iCloud Lock on iOS 7.1.1

How do I unlock Find My iPad or iCloud lock with out a password on iPad 2, 3, 4. I tried once on one iPad starting from iCloud, type oooooooo, the click OK and cancel. Then I went back to delete the word, "iCloud" click DONE and OK. Find My iPad wasn't deleted this time. I think the idea is to make sure Find My iPad is off. Then I can delete the LOCK or account that came with the device. HELP!

Thanks for your attention. The account's owner is unknown.
I didn't put in detailed information.
Believe it or not, I was able to remove iCloud lock on an iPad by hitting 8 zeros as a password (since I didn't have one) and made sure the Find My iPad was off. That is called a bypass.
Needless to explain much, I am more looking for a solution to turn off Find My iPad on another iPad and I have not been successful.
I looked up many clips on YouTube. I wonder that Apple has updated terms and conditions with a more secured feature on iCloud.

How to Backup under iCloud.

Since iCloud became the default,I have found that my daily Backup still tries once every 24 hours to back up my various devices (I have a MacBook,an iPad and an iPhone).
It reports failure each time.
Can anyone inform how to handle this?

You can back up one iOS device to iCloud using its built-in facility, but you cannot back up your Mac; and if you are using Apple Backup this will not work to any remote server other than the now terminated MobileMe.
You will need to find a third-party backup service - this page examines some options:

How do i get Apple Mac to sync to ICloud? Contacts are different on mac, iCloud to iPad

trying to get my apple mac and iPad to sync. I have an iCloud account but it is not backing up my mac and doesn't show my iPad if i log in from my mac. Contacts or photos not updating.

Well, though my search prior to posting didn't turn up any promising threads, several appeared in the "More Like This" list after I posted. The following thread solved my problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17572013#17572013

How to back up multiple iphones/ipads with different icloud accounts but same apple id

I would like to back up 3 idevices each with different icloud accounts to itunes. But they use the same apple id so that itune purchases can be installed on each device (2 iphones and 1 ipad).
All I want to do is create a backup in case the phones need to be restored. I also want to back up before downloading iOS 8.
The Macbook Pro that I will back up to has one user and one itunes library.
Is this possible without mixing up address books and contacts etc? Appreciate if some one could direct me to detail step-by-step instructions if they exist or please tell me how I can do this.
Thanks.

With Family Sharing they don't need to have the same Apple ID anymore.
But backups to iTunes are kept separate among multiple devices; Apple ID and iCloud isn't involved at all. Just make sure the devices do not have the same name.

How do I delete document from ipad but not iCloud?

I looked at the help on the iCloud page where I can log in from my mac. It says I can delete a document off my ipad but not the cloud by going in to settings and selecting the file in there. All I can find is a toggle switch to turn iCloud on/off for pages. I can't find access to individual documents there.

Ok tried again, figured it out.
Apple, wouldn't it be easier for the user to have a check box in pages/numbers/keynote on the thumbnail of each document for

How to use Find my Mac on a different iCloud account?

I have my own iCloud account set on my mac and on my iPhone, however on my iPhone, I manage to use my dad's iCloud account so he can use the find my iphone app on my phone. I do this while still having all other icloud stuff (eg. imessage or app store) with my own icloud account/apple id (not my dads). However I recently bought a macbook air and Im trying to set up the find my mac on icloud but for some reason, i can only have one icloud account at the same time, and i wanted to have my dads icloud/apple id for the find my mac and my own apple id for the rest of the stuff. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can see the locations of your devices and take additional actions by going to http://www.icloud.com, then signing in and clicking on Find my iPhone.

How to see Office docs on iPad stored on iCloud drive?

How to view MS Office docs on iCloud drive on the iPad?

To further extend on your reply. If your unable to view the documents after you've linked iCloud to the local app on the iPad then see if you can view the document on https://www.icloud.com/#pages. If your unable to view the document there, then the document isn't in iCloud at the moment. You can simply drag the file onto the screen, and it should upload your document. After the document is visible on your iCloud.com the document will be viewable on all of your devices via the Pages app, when logged into your Apple ID.

How can I free up space and send to icloud?

How to free up space on ipad & send to icloud?

You can delete downloaded apps (which will also delete their content) from your iPad by pressing and holding one of them on your iPad's homescreen until they start to shake, and then tapping the 'x' on them to delete them - press the home button when you've finished deleting apps.
And you can delete films and/or TV programmes from the Videos app via the Edit button at the top right of the film/TV programme selection screen, and music in the Music app by swiping /dragging across them from right-to-left.
Whether your apps will then show in the Purchased tab in the App Store app for redownloading will depend upon whether they are still in the store - and for your films, TV programmes, and music whether they will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app will depend upon them still being in the store and if you are in a country where they can be redownloaded (and if you've moved countries since buying them).
You can copy iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you have your own copy of them which you can use to sync back (and to take a backup copy of) so that you don't have to rely on being able to redownload them.
If you are asking because you want to update to iOS 8.3 then updating via your computer's iTunes should require less free space on your iPad than updating directly on it - but still do the Transfer Purchases and take a backup and preferably take your own copy of any important documents and/or photos

How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD?

How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD? I want to continue to back up my devices including those of my wife while travelling without using the cloud and not returing home for several weeks.
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks for your help.

You can use any Mac with a recent copy of iTunes to back up an iPhone or iPad. It doesn't have to be the one you usually synch with, so long as you don't let it try to do a synch.
Just take fresh backups on the MBA. As for how to get the backups onto the external drive, I'll have to leave that to others; I've never tried.
