HT4859 icloud, do i need to back up my computers if i have icloud?

do i have to back up itunes if i have icloud? will also be using icloud for photos and video, right now i have norton on-line storage and would like to take itunes off of it because running out of online storage and don't want to buy more from norton

I would. Match isn't intended as a backup service, just a service to make it convenient for you to get a copy (of some sort) of your music wherever you happen to be. For example, I have tracks in better quality than that stored with Match. Match only stores them 256k at best.

I need to deauthorize all 5 computers that I have authorised because I have a new mac but I can't deauthorise them because I have done so already this year.

I need to deauthorize all 5 computers that I have authorised because I have a new mac but I can't deauthorise them because I have done so already this year. How do I authorise my new mac then?

You will have to deauthorise one of the others individually (iTunes menu Store>De-Authorise this computer).

I am getting a 6 soon. But need to back up my 4S. I have two problems: one, I cannot get the rest of the videos off my phone. two, I have no plus or edit button in contacts and cannot delete or fix and bad numbers. Help

Actually, I have three problems. I had to turn off iCloud because every time I turn it on, it wipes out all my contacts. Thankfully they're on my macbook and I was able to text them back to the phone. Honestly, this is making me batty. All I want to do is preserve my information before the new phone comes in. I did do a back-up to iTunes, but will that bring all the problems over to the new phone?!?
First? I tried to edit a contact today. No edit button. Then I thought, I'll just add her. No plus sign.
Last but not least? I have a LOT of memory being taken up on my 16 G 4s with videos that iTunes and iPhoto refuse to see. I can't even figure out how to see the folder on my iPhone when it's plugged in.
Help!

I am running Mac OS X and need to back up before installing Snow Leopard , can I back up to my Time Capsule?

I am running Mac OS X currently and need to upgrade to Snow Leopard. First I need to back up my computer. I have a Time Capsule that automaticallyt backs up Snow Leopard and above but do not have Time Machine on this system. How can I back up what I an currently running?

Do I download these? I am not particularly good at this, so any help would be great. What I know now is that it is recommended to back up current comuter before installing snow leopard, but I have no idea how to do this. I know I can go from 10.4.11 directly to Snow Leopard but am afraid I will lose data.

The WiFi on my iPhone 4s will not turn on. I need to back up to iCloud in order to replace the phone. A worker at the Apple Store said that if I connected my phone to the computer, then I could back up to iCloud but it doesn't work!

Last weekend I went to the Apple store to replace my phone because the WiFi on my phone is nonfunctional. I need to back up to iCloud before I can replace my phone because I have information on there that needs to be saved. The worker at the Apple store said that, since I cannot connect to WiFi, I needed to plug my phone into my computer in order to back up. I went into iTunes and turned iCloud on, but my phone still will not back up to iCloud. So, I need to know exactly how to back up my iPhone to iCloud without WiFi?

should I restore from an old icloud back up from last month and see if my wifi comes on then?
Unfortunately, you can't restore an iCloud backup without using wifi so that isn't an option.

How do I get the contacts from my mac to syn with icloud? I need to back up my phone and don't want to lose my contacts when I get a new phone.

How do I get the contacts from my mac to sync with Icloud? I need to back up my phone since I will be receiving a new one tomorrow and the icloud contacts are not the same as the ones on my mac. Help me

OS X Lion. 10.7. Your profile says your running 10.6.8, which is Snow Leopard. You need 10.7 to use iCloud with your Mac.

For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847. It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email.
The other area to look at is your text messages. These are included in the backup. If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup. If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.

My ipad is locked saying that i need to back up icloud, but my laptop with my itunes on it needed to be wiped clean becuse of a virus. ive been trying to log into my itunes on my sisters laptop, but its still not working, has this happened to anyone else?

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

HT5262 If I have an IPad and an I Phone 4S do I need to have both do back ups? They both sync with each other. My ICloud space is running low and it loos as if my phone is the one using the most storage. Do I need to back it up or if my phone?

I am running out of ICloud storage space of 5 KB. It looks as if my phone is the one that is using more space. If all my info links to both do I need to back up the phone?

Set up as new, since it newer has been connected to iTunes. Your iPhone will remain on iTunes. I have 4 different devices on my iTunes with no problems.
And regarding the sync - it will sync whatever you tell it to sync on iTunes.

Yes, if you aren't backing them up elsewhere.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.

Hey MrZuri,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides steps for archiving and backing up various content from iCloud. I have included an excerpt of how to do so for iCloud Calendar:
iCloud: Archiving or making copies of your iCloud data
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4910
iCloud.com Calendar
This method of backing up starts with publishing a calendar that you can then download to your computer. If your calendar is already on your computer, skip to the OS X or Windows instructions.
1. Go to iCloud Calendar at icloud.com/calendar and sign in using your iCloud Apple ID and password.
2. Publicly share a calendar.
3. Select and copy the URL (web address) from that shared calendar, and paste it to the address field in your browser; do not press Enter or Return yet.
4. Change "webcal" to "http", and then press Enter.
5. An ICS file will download to your default downloads location. The calendar can be added to a calendar client like iCal on Mac or Outlook on a Windows PC.
6. Once the download completes, unpublish the shared calendar.
Thanks,
Matt M.

TS2634 my husbands ipad is froze with the message that he needs to back up to his icloud account. We have tried to switch off and it wont let us and have now got it re-charging. Any ideas?

My husbands ipad has froze with the message he needs to back up to his icloud account. He has tried switching off and on again to no avail as message is still there and is now trying to re-charge it. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT4910 Need clarification: Backing-up each of calendar, contacts, tasks, reminders from iCloud to my PC

Re backing-up each of calendar, contacts, tasks, reminders from iCloud to my PC: Can it be done all at once in one operation!? or do I need to back them up individually?

Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.
