HT4910 My iPhone 4s refuses to back up to iCloud, working fine on iPad, any ideas anyone?

My iPhone 4s refuses to back up to iCloud, done all the same things on the iPad and it works fine, anyone any ideas?

If the previous advice doesn't solve the issue....
Backup not successful:  I had the same problem.
My solution was to turn off some apps (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap my device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options) and try a manual backup.  If it didn't work, turn off a few more apps and try a backup.  Keep doing that until the backup works.  Then try adding in some of the last batch of apps that were previously turned off - the objective is to find the app that causes the backup to fail.  For me, I suspect that the one app I found had a bad data file that, when included in the backup, caused the backup to quit.
This can be a long process if you have a lot of apps that you originally turned on for backups.

    My iPhone 5c has turned itself off and won't turn back on, any ideas anyone?

    Hey Jswalker1969,
    Thanks for the question. If your iPhone is not powering on, see the following troubleshooting steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    4. After at least 30 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • My iPhone 3GS is not backing up to iCloud.. Help, please?

    So I jusy got my iPhone back after not using it for 8 months. I tried to do an iCloud backup and it didn't work. I tired several times more and finally went online to see if there was a solution. I've tried everything I could find. I erased all my data and tried backing it up again, but it still isn't restoring any of my pictures or messages or notes. All of my contacts I imported and (for some strange reason)  all my weather updates are there, but nothing else. The last time I backed it up everything worked fine, but I had to delete my main email that I was using as my account username and all so I'm wondering if that may have something to do with the issue. Everyone is telling me it's not, but it's not working and I can't think of anything else that would pose as the problem. I tried to log into my iCloud account but I don't remember the answers to my security questions. Well, correction, I do but they just aren't working (for some reason at random times my passwords won't work either).  I tried to call Apple, but their hours are super short and I didn't get ahold of them in time. I am very annoyed because I had so much important data on my phone that I would really like back but I don't know how to get it back. Last time I ever had an issue like this was before iCloud, back in the days when you had to restore or backup your iPhone to iTunes. They told me when I went into the Apple store, back when that happened, that I'd never have this issue again as long as I had an iCloud, but I guess not. Unless there is a way to explain this all, then I'm screwed. I'm almost wondering if the backups get too old and delete themselves, but how would that make any sense at all? I'm very frustrated and have spent hours trying to fix this stupid device but haven't been able to find a solution. If ANYONE knows or even thinks they got an idea as to what the problem is and can possibly provide me with a solution, whether complicated or easy, I would very much apprreciate it. Thanks.

    It is very difficult for us to advise you with limited information.
    Could you post the specific error message?

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you should be able to log into iCloud on a Mac from system preferences > iCloud and set up photostream to download any photos that are there. You should also be able to use your iCloud back up to restore any replacement phone to reflect the phone you lost.

    Hi
    I constantly get same message.  When I open up my windows laptop all works fine so I guess it's a bug that apple refuse to admit to.

    I had this same thing happen to me.  I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
