HT4865 backup my computer on icloud

How do I backup my icloud on my mac os x mountain lion macbook pro

You can't make backups of your Mac on iCloud. The best is to make backups onto an external drive, so you can access to backups at any moment instead of having to connect to Internet

  • Ipad (3) wont backup with Computer or iCloud

    I plan to update my ipad, but before I do I need to backup. Only problem is any attempt to backup fails.
    On windows using itunes, the backup starts and then when it nears 100% complete it says ...
    iTunes could not backup iPad "name" because the backup could not be saved to the computer
    So, I'm using Win8, latest iTunes, new computer, firewall off, etc. etc. I spent 2 days trying this with no success. Looking in the iTunes logs directory under %appdata% all I see is the following:
    [4736 @ Mon Sep 23 21:55:10 2013] [com.apple.console AppleMobileBackup.exe] Unable to move temporary file "C:\Users\<blah>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\Logs\MobileBackup-unknown-20130923-215510-Backup-Com puter.log" (3)

    Next step, fall back to iCloud backup directly from the iPad. I do not have a lot of data on it, so this should comfortably fit in the available 5GB. Unfortunately it never completes estimating time remaining and basically bombs out immediately.
    Any help appreciated!

    Whyohy,
    I had a similar issue.  I was neither able to back up to iCloud nor to my computer through iTunes.  When I tried to do so to my laptop, iTunes would display the following message:  "iTunes could not back up the iPhone [myiPhone] because the back up could not be saved on this computer."  I looked at the system log and saw the same error as you.  When I tried to do so to iCloud, my phone would display the following message:  "The last backup could not be completed."
    On my laptop, I did the measures suggested by this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2529?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    None of that worked.
    On my iPhone, I tried the following:
    Turning off backing up for the camera roll.
    Deleting the backup for the iPhone in iCloud.
    None of that worked.
    I did not want to do a factory restore, so I decided to contact Apple Support.  My case got escalated to a senior advisor.  He suggested that I turn iCloud backup off (Settings > iCloud > Backup > iCloud Backup) and reset all settings on my iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings).  Once that was done, I reset my phone (press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo) and reenabled iCloud backup.  I was finally able to back up both to iCloud and my computer.  Fortunately, all of my content was preserved.
    I hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to upload backup from computer to Icloud?

    My girlfriend is out of town on business and lost her iPhone 5.  She bought a new one.  Her backup is on her laptop which is here with me.
    Is it possible to upload her last backup of her iPhone from the laptop to the iCloud so she can do a restore?
    Thank you

    No. Sorry. She'll have to wait till she gets home to restore it, or you could ship her the laptop.

  • HT4873 How do I backup my windows 7 computer to iCloud?

    You can only back up iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches) to iCloud, not computers.

  • HT4539 How do I backup my data to iCloud, not to my computer?

    How do I backup my data to iCloud, instead of my computer?

    iCloud backup is for iDevices, not for normal computer backups. There are commercial services that provide that.

  • HT4910 my friend backup my iphone omy friend backup my iphone on his computer in icloud will i be able to pull it out of icloud from my n his computer in icloud will i be able to pull it out of icloud from my computer

    my friend backed up my iphone on his computer in icloud. I want to know if i can restore it to my phone if i have i cloud on  my computer?

    You can't save or download an iCloud backup from a computer.  You create an iCloud backup from your phone using wifi, not a computer.  You also restore from an iCloud backup using wifi on your phone, not a computer.
    If you backed up your phone to your friend's computer using iTunes, the backup is on your friend's computer, not in iCloud, and can only be restored to your phone from his computer.

  • I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

    I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

    This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
    If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud.  To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back.  (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

  • HT5085 Hi there,  i'm new to the iPHONE community and please can someone tell me how to backup my phone to iCLOUD. How do i connect with wi-fi. Must i buy a wi-fi connetion or what.Thank you kind regards

    Hi there,  i'm new to the iPHONE community and please can someone tell me how to backup my phone to iCLOUD. How do i connect with wi-fi. Must i buy a wi-fi connetion or what.Thank you kind regards

    Do you have a wi-fi network in your home ? If you do then you should be able to connect your phone to it via Settings > Wi-Fi on your phone - that should show any networks that are available, and tapping on the network that you want to use (and typing in its password if it's password protected) should connect the phone to it. If you don't have a wi-fi network then yes, you will need wifi router in your home, which is connected to the internet (e.g. via your phone line) to be able to back up your phone to iCloud.

    I have a mac book OSX 10.6.8.  I didn't convert my mobileme account in time.  Is there anyway to back up my computer to icloud with this version?
    I have read that Snow Leopard isn't support by Icloud.  I am thinking of upgrading to Maverick, but first need to back up my computer.
    Also, if I upgrade, will my programs such as the Adobe Creative Suite stay on my computer?

    You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud; and you cannot use most of iCloud's facilities with Snow Leopard. You should get an external hard disk and make a clone - that's the safest possible backup as you can boot from it in an emergency.
    You will need to check that your Mac meets the requirements for Mavericks:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Programs already on your Mac will stay on your Mac but  you should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible and need updating - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Recovery Backup From PC to Icloud

    My iPhone was stolen and sold in separate parts of our country. Now my questions are: 1 - is it traceable? 2 - How do Copy the information backups on my computer to iCloud?

    If he has Vista SP2 or higher and Outlook 2007 or higher, he can install the iCloud control panel for Windows and enable contacts syncing with Outlook, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.  (If he's using Vista rather than Windows 7 or 8, have him use this at Step 1 instead of the one linked to in the article: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1687.)

  • TS3992 I am not able to backup my iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed out on my phone. The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do?

    I am not able to backup my Iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed outon my phone.  The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do? I need to save my pics, info....etc, because I have to get another phone.

    Back up to your computer instead.  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.  Finally, save any photo stream photos to your camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  (You don't need to delete them from your phone afterwards unless you need the space.)
    If you're getting another phone, be sure to delete your iCloud account and turn off iMessage, FaceTime and Game Center before doing so.  (See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661).
