It was changed in iOS 7. No idea if it was an intentional change or not.
Apple has not stated anything about it.

Can't get my iPad to back up to the iCloud.

I can't get my iPad to back up to the iCloud. My iPhone backs up regularly and there is no iCloud storage space issue. It won't even back up when I hit the "Back Up Now" button. The iCloud Backup button has been selected and the Wifi is working. The message I receive when I hit the "Back Up Now" button is "The last backup could not be completed. Last Backup: Never."

Hello CapeBretonRocks,
The following article provides some useful troubleshooting steps that can help get your iPad backed up to iCloud.

How can i get my contacts from my phone into my pc? itunes/excel

Hi
I'm pulling my hair out here so would appreciate any help from you kind people!!
I just want to export the numbers from my iphone 3GS onto my computer, I'm not worried about format or on what program they are stored, its just as a back up in case i were to lose my phone.
Simplest way possible would be good!
Any ideas?
Thanks

You don't need Outlook to sync contact info but if you have Outlook available, you can access your Hotmail account with Outlook.
With XP you can sync contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events, or you can sync contacts only with the address book used by Outlook Express called Windows Contacts or Windows Address Book.
Before syncing contacts with the address book used by Outlook Express - which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, enter one contact in the address book application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos
Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS: iPhone Data Recovery - Wondershare Official
The above programs may also get them from the iPod after you place in recovery mode and restore via iTunes.
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes on this computer before? If not, nothing is selected automatically under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Was this the first time your iPhone was connected to iTunes on any computer? If so, the first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes for the first time that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or eyeless device to the iPhone or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is not automatic, it must be manually selected.

If they were on your phone when you last backed up you could try restoring to your backup. This may restore them if you follow this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

You'll need to provide more information about what has happened.

How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic. ITunes wiped out all my contacts and there is even no place for contacts any more on my macBook.

You don't download iTunes by connecting your phone to iTunes and yes of course, by syncing your phone with your husbands computer, of course you will have lost all your stuff and you will have his.
When you connect to iTunes, you sync.
To get back all your things, then you need to sync your phone to the computer that you used originally to set your phone up - if this is your computer, then connect your phone to that and sync it with iTunes on that and you will get your stuff back, but when you connect to iTunes you sync and don't download.
Ringtones should download automatically to your phone and if not, if you are getting them on your computer, then download them to your computer with your iTunes on and double click to get the MP3 file to open in iTunes and then sync your phone to your computer and you will get the ringtone on your phone.
