HT1766 trying to back up iphone to icloud

I keep trying to manually back up my iphone to icloud but it starts then it says could not be completed- can anyone help? My iphone has never been backed up.

Make sure that you're connected to Wi-Fi and plug your iPhone in to charge. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and make sure that iCloud backup is in the ON position then tap Back Up Now.
You can also use iTunes to backup

    If your phone is turned off or not connected to the Internet, you will be unable to locate it. Last known location is only stored for 24 hours.

  • Usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from I Tunes what i have to do?

    usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from ITunes what i have to do to restore all my contact, applications and others?

    If your iPhone does not search for a wi-fi connection before you are asked whether you want to set it up as new phone or restore a backup from iTunes, then I guess you have the same issue as highlighted in this thread:

    iCloud back ups can only be accessed via wi-fi that's why you are not granted this option, I have the exact same issue.

  • HT1766 Hello, I'm trying to back my Iphone 5 up and it's asking for my passcode which I can't enter into my phone because my screen is smashed? Is there another way around it? I have an appointment with Apple tomorrow and need to back it up ASAP. Thanks.

    Hello, I have a smashed (just front screen, screen works but is green and liney) Iphone 5 that is totally unusable. I'm trying to back my phone up before my appointment with Apple tomorrow but it keeps asking me to unlock my phone which I can not do! Is there another way around this? Really don't want to lose my photos. Thanks.

    There's no way around it other than to back it up using the computer you normally sync with. If you haven't been syncing/backing up on a regular basis, you're hosed.

  • 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

  • HT4859 backed up iphone to icloud, notes gone from iphone

    I backed up my iphone 4s to icloud yesterday and now all the notes I had on my iphone are not there anymore.  They show up in my mail but not on my phone. Why did this happen, how can I keep it from happenining, and how can I restore my notes to my iphone?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you stop your back up, it will leave an incomplete back up in your iCloud storage allocation which you would need to remove from settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage. It will not however affect anything on your phone.
    The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
    What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.
    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.

    How are you trying?
    Just showing a grey box just now even for video.
    Videos do not go into Photo Stream.
    You can add them to a Shared Photo Stream.

  • HT1386 I tried to back my iphone to itunes & then got the message "Itunes has detetected an Iphone in recovery mode.  You must restore this Iphone before it can be used with Itunes."  Does this mean that I've lost everything & have to restore to original

    I tried to backup my iphone to itunes and then got a message "Itunes has detetected an Iphone in recovery mode.  you must restore tghis Iphone before it can be used with Itunes."  Does this mean I've lost everything on my Iphone & have to restore to it's original settings?

    Is the device actually in recovery mode?  What is showing on the display?
    If it's the "Connect to iTunes" screen, then the information is already lost.
    If you've forced the device in DFU mode... reboot it and simply sync with the computer.

  • Hi really really need help, i have an iphone 5s, one day all my contacts dissapered  so i tryed to back up using my icloud and gained somebody elses contacts, and now i keep getting there photos in my photo stream...

    I have changed my password, i have even changed my email address, then i re enter to the icloud and i still get this other persons information come up on my phone, i am worried that they have got all my photos an contact details... Or deleted all of mine so i have now lost all my information... I dont have the photo sharing on or have anyone else use my id..
    Please help i dont want this persons stuff or the thought that they have invaded my privacy and can see my personal stuff..
    Really put off the iphone now :( only had a month wish id stayed with a blackberry!

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • I'm trying to back my phone with iCloud but the message "you can not delete your icloud account because your iPhone is being restored" appears under storage and back up then when I click on storage and back up the icloud back up is grey so I can't clickit

    Need help with backing up on icloud. It's just grey the and can't click it.

    Sorry, I was gone for a while.  The reason I asked is that many employers will push a restriction to the phone to prevent it from backing up to iCloud.
    The only time I've seen this before it was the result of a server issue at Apple's end, and would normally clear up on it's own in 3-5 days.  If you can't wait, you'll probably have to contact Apple support for help with this: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • Back up iPhone to iCloud and Macbook Pro?

    I recently had to restore my iPhone, and it was from my MacBook Pro cause I don't know how to restore it from iCloud. Is there a way to back it up on both devices?

    Well I haven't updated my signature. I think all of my contacts got swiped from iCloud when I was trying to sync them all to my iPhone, Macbook Pro, and iPad 2. So I'm hoping if I restore, they will come back. How do I restore from iCloud?
