Not sure what else to try
Please help ... many thanks

If the free disk space on your Mac is too small to backup and your iPhone then it has too little free space to run properly.
You need to start doing some removal of data to free up space on the disk drive. The data can be either deleted or moved to another disk drive. what ever you do leave the system files alone and work with the files in your Home directory only.
The first thin you need to do is to make sure you have a backup of the Mac first.

  • If u redeem a movie off of itunes on iphone and can't download it due to lack of space and when i go to computer to find it to download there it is not there what to do?

    if u redeem a movie off of itunes on iphone and can't download it due to lack of space and when i go to computer to find it to download there it is not there what to do?

    Clear space on your iPhone (go to Settings > General > Usage) and complete the download there.
    If you rented the movie on your iPhone, it can only be viewed on your iPhone.

    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    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.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • I can't backup my contacts to ICloud. I have them in my phone but get only one contact at iCloud?

    Hi P.Hallis,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your goal is to sync the contacts on your iPhone with iCloud. You may want to use this article to double-check your sync settings in iTunes:

  • HT4890 can i backup my photos in iCloud? Like it was in idisk.

    Can i backup my photos in iCloud? Like it was in idisk.

    No, you cannot backup your photos like it was in iDisk. iCloud has no usual folder system like any other hard disk. iCloud uses its storage capacity for backups of photos and videos in the Camera Roll, Zdevice settings (for example: Phone, favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts), app data, home screen and app organization, messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS), ringtones. That means other applications can use iCloud's storage space to store files, but there is no general folder system which you can access to store files.

  • I can't backup my iPhone to iCloud Last backup could not be completed

    After updating to iOS7 I can't backup my iPhone to iCloud.  When I try it starts up, then stops and says, "Last backup could not be completed"
    Details: I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3
    Things I have already tried (in the order I tried them):
    - Doing a 'hard reset' on the phone
    - Buying more iCloud storage
    - Deleting the old backup that was saved into iCloud (so now I have no backups saved)
    - Turning phone off then on again
    - Changing my iCloud password
    - Deleting the iCloud account from my phone then signing in again
    Other issue which may or not be related:
    - I have yet to get the Music app to work on this phone since updating to iOS7.  It opens then promptly crashes.  This is secondary to getting the backups to work.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    If you want to see how big the backup is for your phone go Settings -> iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Manage storage and up the too it will tell you how large the backup files are for your phone. :)

  • TS3988 how can i backup a reset the iCloud account of somebody who dies?

    how can i backup a reset the iCloud account of somebody who dies? (my brother)

    Apple's Terms of Use for iCloud say:
    No Right of Survivorship
    You agree that your Account is non-transferable and that any rights to your Apple ID or Content within your Account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate your Account may be terminated and all Content within your Account deleted. Contact iCloud Support at www.apple.com/support/icloud for further assistance.
    Basically you have no rights in his account: if you know his password you can enter the account and retrieve personal data to use elsewhere. If he had purchased music, films or apps in iTunes you cannot transfer these to your own account.
    If you don't know the password it seems doubtful that Apple will allow you access to it. However as far as all these questions are concerned the authoritative answers must come from Apple so you will need to contact them as indicated above.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.

    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
