HT4859 icloud backup not working

I just got a 4S and have backed up my iPhone 4 today prior to swapping the Sim.
When I go to restore via icloud on the 4S it initially only brought up a back up from January and now says it cannot find any backup's?
Any ideas?

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your phone that is preventing the backup. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

ICloud backup not working

I ran the backup last night...it still shows that the latest backup was in December 2012. I have enough storage left. Any ideas?

If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

IPhone iCloud Backup not working anymore

Since April 9, 2012 my iPhone does not backup to iCloud anymore (not automatically nor manually). When I click "Backup Now", it just says "Backing Up... Estimating time remaining..." and it stays like that forever. The progress bar does not move at all. I have plenty of space left for backup, so that should not be the problem. Anybody having the same problem? Any solutions/suggestions you may have are welcome. Thanks!

After connecting to iTunes, I noticed that "Back up to iCloud" was selected (in the middle of the screen on the "Summary" tab, under "Backup"), and "Last backed up to iCloud" reflected the time that I attempted to back up from my phone. Even now, the phone still says "Last Backup: Never," so there is clearly a disconnect. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

Icloud backup not working..despite "plugged in with WiFi and screen locked...

iphone 4 with iOS7. Despite being plugged in and on WiFi and "locked" it's up to seven weeks now that I keep getting message that it hasn't been backed up. Is there some special "lock" that I don't get? Didn't the old lock switch on upper left change at some time. Do I have to use this?
Thanks

Maybe you don't have your settings set up correctly. For more information on the topic, I've provided a link that might help you out.

ICloud backup not working - option greyed out

My iPad air happily used to backup overnight via wifi when I would leave it charging.
However this stopped happening a couple of months ago, without any intervention from me...
Now the 'icloud backup' option in Settings/iCloud/Backup is set to off, but is greyed out i.e. I can't turn it back on again
I seemingly have plenty of space as have upgraded to 20Gb of storage, partially in the hope it would sort this problem out.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

OK.
So i guess there was no other way to solve this problem.
Anyway I have restored the device yesterday, its succeed

ICloud backup not working plus unable to delete old backup

I recently upgraded from an iphone 5 to the iphone 6. Before making the move I want to backup my iphone 5. It hasn't been backed up to the iCloud for several months (due to a lack of storage space) so I purchased more space. However, when trying to back it up, I'm met with the message "Backing up... Estimating time remaining" for a while and then this message disappears and it says that the backup was not completed. Might be worth noting that I haven't updated my iphone 5's system to iOs 8, could this be the issue?
I have tried to delete my previous backups to see if this helps but the message "cannot delete, backup in use" message appears. Extremely frustrating! It's been 2 days since I got my iphone 6 and I have not started using it. Any tips?

Nevermind, looks like I was able to delete it off of my phone instead

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex

Icloud is not working on my mac

Hi, Im having problems with my icloud - my mac will not play the music I have uploaded. This is the first time it has happened, and I have used icloud for months (maybe a year now). Any help ?

Same here in the UK. I have no access to my music in iCloud from iMac, MacbookPro, iPhone5 and iPad(3).
All OS's are up to date. I can access iTunes and download new music from there.
iCloud Backup is working on the iPhone but much slower than usual.

Icloud is not working on my macbook pro

icloud is not working on my macbook pro and works on both my ipad and my iphone. Not sure why this is, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Yes it has been turned on in system preferences. I've even signed out & signed back in to trouble shoot & the problem still exists. The problem is — while browsing in Safari, I'll hit the iCloud tab on my MacBook Pro & it will be blank, showing nothing opened on the other devices. Then I'll check the other device sitting next to me & they have web pages opened & their iCloud works. Not sure what is wrong, prob need to call Apple...

Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port. Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device. I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks. The drive does work using USB. It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

ICloud will not work. Error upon PC Boot Entry Point sqlite3_wall_checkpoint could not be located. How do I fix?

iCloud will not work on my PC. When I boot my PC I get an error saying, "The Procedure Entry Point sqlite3_wall_checkpoint in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll". How do I fix this?

I'd first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe control panel, dc. Does that clear the message up?

ICloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

iCloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

I can see the acknowledgement that this issue will be fixed in the 'next' software update. Considering the original post was for an iPad 2 running 5.0.1, I am not sure if this issue on iOS 5.1 which runs on my new iPad (4G) is considered fixed. As I reported in my previous post it is impossible to update individual tracks. I also tried adding entire collection to a single playlist, shuffling the playlist. While shuffle is in progress, turning to the 'list' view that allows tracks to be rated does who the currently shuffled playlist and the currently playing track and assigns the rating to the track correctly. However, as soon as the second track plays, switching to list view (which displays the ratings) lists only the tracks from the currently playing track's album. Which is insane IMHO.
So, was this not fixed with 5.1 update? Or the iOS 5.1 will get it's own piece of update on this?

Since upgrade to Windows 8.1, ICloud does not work

Since upgrade to Windows 8.1, ICloud does not work. I could click on buttons for Reminders, Notes, etc. and would take me into ICloud to share with other devices. No longer functions.

Hi:
I can't help you with why your PC won't upgrade to W8.1, but I can tell you that if you manage to get W8.1 to install, you won't be able to get the graphics to work anymore.
There is no W8.1 driver for the graphics setup in your PC.
So maybe it is a good thing that you can't get it to work.

App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9 using a proxy server

App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9. these problems are interrelated I am sure. Apple apps were working fine in 10.8.5 I could do software updates through a proxy server using password authentication. I reinstalled a new system 10.9 on another partition and it won't let me use Safari or update software using a proxy server. Firefox works fine (I am using it to post). I am very disappointed that this wasn not fully tested BEFORE releasing Mavericks. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I had this problem myself.
Checked the system log with Console, and I found the entry:-
Nov 11 11:16:41 teds-new-mac.ad.mycompany.co.uk ocspd[537]: Authentication challenge received for "10.203.39.212:8080", unable to obtain proxy server credential from System keychain.
For some unknown reason, Mavericks seems to be looking in the System keychain, when these credentials are actually held in the Login keychain.
So, I tried "Copy & Paste" - copying the https user name & password from the Login keychain and pasting into the System keychain, which worked but it's not quite as straightforward as I initially thought.
Pasting into the System Keychain was, I found a not-very-intuitive process:
Having opened your Login Keychain, click once on the item to be copied and when it's highlighted, select "Copy" from the Edit menu or, of course, cmd+c.
Select the System Keychain:- DO NOT CLICK THE PADLOCK IN THE TOP LEFT TO UNLOCK IT.
From the Edit menu, select "Paste" or cmd+v.
You will then get a dialogue box,, enter your administrator's password and select "Modify Keychain" or just hit return, as it's the default entry.
I found a restart was in order before it recognised everything and would accept https pages without alert boxes, but YMMV.
Funnily enough - and this is where it seems counter-intuitive, if you do click on the padlock and unlock the System Keychain, "Paste" is greyed out in the Edit menu and cmd+v has no effect.
Exactly the opposite to what I'd expect..

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.
