    I have purchased additional icloud storage and now when I try to back up it says. "Last Backup not successful" No reason or additional information.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.

  • Purchased additional icloud storage, card transaction went through, storage data has yet to be updated. what to do?

    I purchased additional iCloud storage for my iPhone5. Transaction went through, but storage data on my phone has yet to be updated. The purchased additional 10G storage has yet to be reflected. What to do? Thanks.

    Close out all the apps on your iPhone.
    Restart the device.
    Go into Settings > iCloud and check to see if your new storage has been applied.
    If that fails, contact Apple Support to have them check your iCloud account for the purchase transaction.  You may also want to make sure that your payment information is up to date.

  • I purchased additional iCloud storage, but do not see it available on my iPhone?

    I purchased additional storage (10GB for $20/yr) in order to back up on iCloud so I can transfer stuff to my new iPhone 5. But I don't see the additional GM on muy phone and it is still saying I don't have enough storage to back up?

    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • HT201318 I just purchased more iCloud storage because my phone is saying it cannot complete an update without it, I went through and deleted a bunch of stuff beforehand and nothing changed so I thought I had to buy it. But nothing is showing that it has c

    I just purchased more storage for my phone because I needed a software update and it said I couldn't do it until I purchased more cloud storage, so I did. Now nothing is showing up and still cannot update my software? Does it take time to show up?

    Sometimes it does.  However, adding more iCloud storage doesn't give you any more space on your phone if that's what you're trying to do.  To create more space on your phone, you have to delete of sync something off of it.  You could, for example, you could delete all your music, then perform the update, then sync your music back to your phone using iTunes.

  • I have a MobileMe account but only received 5gb worth of iCloud storage, how do I get the other 20gb?

    How do I get my 20gb that come with my MobileMe account?

    You are a bit early.
    Wait for a few month.  iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and the Photos.app for Mac are being beta tested now and will be available soon on your Mac. Then you can store your photo library in iCloud and keep optimised versions of your photos on your Mac locally, with the full sized versions in iCloud. And all your devices will be able to access the photos in iCloud.
    See Apple's preview of the new Photos for Mac:  http://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
    Fill your library, not your device.
    iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your devices. When you choose "Optimize Mac Storage", it stores all your full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud in their original formats, while keeping storage-saving versions on each device. When you make an edit, the original image will download automatically. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.
    and also:  Photos for the Mac Is Clean, Fast, Connected — and Unfinished
    The iPads and iPhones can already do it, but the Mac can only access this library using the web interface,  see:  iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    Use the time, till Photos will be released, to consolidate your photo library. Get all places and faces tagged, all keywords, titles,  and ratings ready, duplicates removed, events and albums well structured, and when Photos will be released, you can simply let it migrate the iPhoto or Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library.  Enable "Optimize Storage" and you will be able to have the bulk of your photos in iCloud.

  • Can I pay yearly for additional icloud storage?

    I do not keep a current valid credit card on file at the Apple store for personal reasons.  I would like to purchase additional icloud storage, but pay yearly instead of monthly.  How could I do this?

    Unless you're currently on an annual payment plan, you can't. You also can't subscribe to additional iCloud storage without having a credit card on file.

  • Can I use gift card with iTunes to buy additional iCloud storage on my ipad2

    I need to purchase additional iCloud storage. My question is I have a couple gift cards with iTunes. Can I use one or both gift cards to buy this additional storage? Thank you. I await a response.

    According to Apple, payment methods accepted include iTunes store credit, credit cards, and debit cards.  Presumably this means that if you redeem the gift card to create an iTunes store credit, the upgrade would be charged against this credit.  If you want to confirm this, call the Apple online store at the number shown at the bottom of this page.

  • My daughters iPod shares my iCloud storage.how can I reset hers so she uses her own storage?

    You will need to Erase the Device and Set up as New using her Apple ID.

  • I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and photos. Purchased a new phone and went to download phtotos on new phone and only a portion of my photos are back on my new phone. How do I find all my photos and get them on my new phone

    I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and phots. Purchased a new phone and went to pull my photos from icloud and only a portion trasferred to my new phone. How do I get all of the photos moved to my new phone?

    Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud.  If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now).  Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

  • How can you purchase additional cloud storage without using account credit?

    How can you purchase additional cloud storage without using account credit? Want credit to remain on accounts as it was a gift for my daughter and we haven't finished using it yet but need to purchase additional storage for all of our accounts. Can't I just override the automatic payment from the account and just pay with a separate cc?

    Purchasing additional storage will not use account credit anyway.  It gets directly charged to your credit card, and you must use a credit card since it is an annual subscription service you are purchasing, not a one time payment option.  They insist on a credit card so they have a billable account for the automatic annual subscription fee.  At least it was that way when I did it.
    Sorry - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874  either I did not have enough credit at the time or something has changed since I did it?  Maybe call Apple and do it over the phone (explain why you want to do it that way)?
