HT204053 why won't my iCloud back up?

Why won't my iCloud back up? It will not progress past "estimating time remaining".

First thing you want to make sure is that you are connected to wifi...icloud won't work if your iphone isn't connected to wifi..second you wan to check your icloud setting...go it setting then icloud (make sure your signed in), then click storage and backup at the bottom...on this page at the top you want to make sure you have storage...then you you want to back sure icloud back up is turned on (option is about mid way of page) once you do that at the bottom in blue you will see backup now click that

  • Why won't my iCloud back up?

    I have iCloud on my phone and I wanted to back my phone up before I upgraded to the iOS 6. Everytime I go to back it up, it tells me that same thing everytime saying, "Not enough storage. Manage your storage in settings" But I've deleted over 500 photos, deleted useless apps so that I have more space but its still telling me the same thing. If I just upgraded to the iOS 6 without backing up iCloud, will all my photos that I haven't deleted and all my contacts and apps still be there?

  • HT1766 Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--it spends hours saying "Backup in progress" and then it just fails?!

    Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--- it spends hours showing "Backup in Progress" and then it just fails?!  I have it plugged in next to the computer and I turn it off after hitting Backup but it never completes.... Should I just give up and try to get my money back?

    I'm having the same problem with my iPad (3). It's been saying that my last backup was 10/11/2012. I have tried rebooting (holding down the home and start keys to reset) and then trying to manually do a backup to the cloud. I have tried deleting the iCloud backups for all apps & setting all of them to not be included in the cloud backup (thinking that maybe one of the apps might be hanging the backup up). I have now deleted the last iCloud backup. I guess I will wait & see if it performs its backup overnight or something. As mentioned above, it has consistently been 1) plugged in, 2) connected to a wifi network, and 3) been in lock screen mode. And yet it hasn't been backing up either automatically (iCloud Backup is set to "on") or if I touch 'Back Up Now'.
    Here's something that's really annoying- these posts started last April but I see no sign that anyone from Apple Support has joined this conversation. (!!)

  • HT2417 Iphone model MC608LL.  Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate?

    Have 3G Iphone model MC608LL.  Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate?  Local repair shop said it was a software issue.  AT&T store said to back it up and update OS version.  Did all that.  The switch still won't take it off vibrate.

    - How did you delete it?  If you used Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings without the iPod being charged you could have completely drained the battery.
    - After charging for at least half an hour try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, after the charging above, place the iPod in recovery mode and try to restore it via iTunes.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Why is my iPhone iCloud back up so large?

    My iCloud back up for my iPhone is 5.3 gb, yet I am hardly backing up any app data. Where is the rest of the data coming from?
    Here is a list of things iCloud backs up
    What do you think takes up the most space?
    I deleted all of my messages and voicemails. My camera roll is relatively small and I have less than a gb of app data.
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll - 2 gb
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data - 70 mb
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS) - deleted
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails - deleted
    What am I missing?
    Re: My iCloud storage is over capacity and I can't figure out why 

    From what I understand the back up is a rolling back up and therefore the next back up will add to what is already there. I also understand that some items are backed up that can't be turned off in the management settings.

  • TS3274 screen won't respond, Icloud back up popup is also up

    The screen on the ipad is locked and the Icloud back up popup won't disapear

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT204053 why doesn't my 5s back up all my photo's and info from my 4s?

    why can I not back up all my info from my 4s to my 5s? It only backs up my contact lisy but no pix or any other information. And how do I log into my icloud account on my pc?

    First be sure the new phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as your 4s was (you can check in Settings>General>About>Version).  If it isn't, you have to update it first.
    Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your 4s to restore from.  Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • Why won't my iCloud sign in?

    After I properly use my Apple I.D. and password, I get this following message..
    errorcom.apple,appleaccount.error.403
    So, what does this mean and why is this keeping me from using the iCloud function of my phone? And of course, how do I resolve this bug!!!

    Mudmessiah;
    Error: com.apple.appleaccount error 403
    Recreate Error: On a Iphone/Ipad device that has "already" created the maximum of 3 per device Apple limit of ICloud account creation attempt to create or login to ICloud service tab in Settings. You will be presented with "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" which does not tell the laymen anything useful.
    Cause: IOS 7 reports a "best guess" error instead of detailed error explanation.
    How To Resolve Error: Find a device that has not been used to create an ICloud account the maximum 3 times and use it to create the ICloud account by logging into the Settings/ICloud tab with the Apple ID you want a ICloud account created for.
    Keep in mind this will use up one of the three lifetime allowed ICloud account creations allowed by Apple on that device.
    Also per support: If an existing account is logged into the ICloud service. A. Backup phone using iTunes on a mac/pc. B. At bottome of Settings/ICloud Delete the account "AND" all the user date from the phone. It will offer the Delete all data option. The reason for Deletion(and is why we backed up on a pc vs. the cloud) is when you create the new ICloud account it will backup all of the Device owners information to the wrong persons account.
    Once you have created the new ICloud account log into that account on device that was presenting error: "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" it should allow the ICloud login.
    Once you have verified the "device with error" is ICloud functional delete the ICloud account from the device used to seed the ICloud account and delete again all user data from cloud. Restore the recently created mac/pc Itunes locally created backup to the phone and then go to Settings/ICloud and login with the device owners Apple ID and password and verify your backup to the ICloud settings and Eureka! your done.
    It took less time to do that for me to type this lol.
    NOTE: Original posted under poet68 id, that was me logged in as my customer. This was me "danowolf" discovery and solution developed with Apple support on the phone 9/26/2013
    good luck Friend.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
