HT4859 pause iCloud backup and restart later?

I haven't ever backed up my phone on iCloud so now it's taking a very long time. can I pause it and restart it later? or would it just start all the way over again?

Thanks.  Good to know.  It's going to be something like 10 or 11 hours to download.  I hate slow internet.
I'll also check out the link to Mac App Store help.
Just curious those of you with fast internet how long did it take to download Lion?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try restarting the iPad and seeing if that helps.
    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.

  • HT4859 Recover iCloud backup

    I have lost my photos from my iPad. My backup on iCloud is old so should have some of those photos in it. How do I restore the backup to this existing device?

    Troubleshooting an iCloud backup issue can take some time.  Since you're pressed for time right now here's what I recommend you do:
    Perform a manual backup to your computer using iTunes instead of iCloud.  To do this, connect your phone to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up.  When complete, go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and confirm that the backup is listed.
    Sync you phone with iTunes to transfer all your purchases to your iTunes library.
    Back up your contacts separately using the free app My Contacts Backup (paid version if >500 contacts).  This will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  If necessary, you can later open the email and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts to your computer.
    Import your photos to your computer for safekeeping as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    When you get your replacement phone, during the initial setup, when given the option, select Restore from iTunes Backup.  (This will restore much faster than an iCloud backup anyway.)  When complete, sync it with iTunes to transfer your apps, music and other iTunes media to your phone.  If your contacts don't restore from backup (which they often don't), open the email you made earlier and tap the attachment to import your contacts.  Set up your existing iCloud account on your new phone during setup then turn you data syncing for contacts, calendars, etc. to On; if prompted when you do this, choose Merge.
    This should get your new phone fully restored with your data and iCloud account.  Then you can try backing it up to iCloud again and see if it succeeds this time.  If not, try deleting your most recent iCloud backup and try again.  If it still fails, post a new question and we'll take things from there.

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

    hi me kashif Hello people,
    I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
    Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance.

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

  • Unable to enter Manage Storage in Icloud backup and storage

    I'm unable to enter Manage Storage in Icloud backup and storage. I'm clicking on Manage Storage and nothing happens. I am out of storage and I cant menage it. I have IOS 5.0.1

    There is a unbelievably simple "solution" to this problem (not getting in to manage storage, only spinning wheel).
    All you have to do is click "backup now" at the bottom and immediately as it is calculating estimated time for backup you click "manage storage" and VOILA! You´re in. Believe me it works, done it on 2 phones this evening. One 4s on iOS7 and one 5 on iOS6.1.3

  • How can you restore from both an iCloud backup AND an iTunes backup?

    In article HT5262 (linked below) iOS backups are covered. There is a section "When to use iCloud and iTunes Backup together". I understand how to do this and the reasons why. What I haven't been able to find is an explanation of how you would actually restore from both? I know how to restore from each, however, if I first restore from iCloud, how can I then proceed to restore from iTunes without overwriting my iCloud restore?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262

    Demo, thanks for the reply. What you wrote is exactly what I thought. I'm trying to figure out why Apple is putting out this article (see partial contents below). The implication is that you can restore from both or why back up some data to one and different data to the other:
    "When to use iCloud and iTunes Backup together
    For an extra level of backup for your data, you can use iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup together."
    Tip: If you are using iCloud and iTunes Backup together, and you simply want to speed up your iCloud Backup & Restore functions, you can save iCloud storage by turning off iCloud Backup for very large data types. For example, if you have a 15 GB Camera Roll on your iPhone, you may not wish to back it up to iCloud because it is already being manually backed up to iTunes. You can disable back up of any iCloud Backup item in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Backups > Backup Options. After doing so, these items will only be backed up when you manually back up to iTunes.

  • Icloud backup and restore

    Hello, my iMessage randomly took up 1 GB in my storage and I was searching how to fix it and they said to go on iCloud and turn on iCloud backup and restore your device and I was thinking will it save your process on apps when they re-install?

    What do you mean by saving process on apps? Do you mean progress in games? If that is what you mean, then yes, backing up should save game progress.
