I cant get my phone to back up to icloud

I can not get my phone to backup to icloud.

Sorry, I don't understand the first bit, but 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.

    I cannot get icloud to back up.  any ideas why

    For starters, have you turned on icloud backups in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup?
    It would help if you could tell us what you have done, since there are many variables involved.

    You may need to restore your iPhone.
    If it won't restore, try here. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If nothing helps, you need to contact Verizon for information for an exchange or refund. This is a user to user forum, not Apple.
    Apple's policy for a refund or exchange is within 14 days of purchase. Verizon's policy may be different.
    Definitely try restoring .. hopefully you won't have to go through the hassle of an exchange.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

    Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Particularly:
    Battery does not charge
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.    
    You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Deleted "On My Mac" calendars trying to share to iPad. Have a good copy still on iPhone4s. How do I get the phone calendars back on my Mac?

    Accidently deleted "On My Mac" calendars trying to share to a new iPad. I still have a a full set of calendars on my iPhone4s. How do I get the phone calendars back onto my Mac?
    Not knowing how to move theiPhone calendars I tried this.....
    I have tried importing a .icbu file of each calendar exported just before the deletion.  Every time I import a backup, it restores fine initially with all my old events, but as soon as it syncs with iCloud it empties all the events prior to my deletion of the "On My Mac" set of caledars.

    I had walked away from the computer and found another mouse hanging out on my wife's computer, I was able to plug it in and got the blue tooth set back up. Thanks for your responding to this.

  • Why is my phone only backing up to icloud every 24 hours?

    I have noticed recently that my phone only backs up to icloud about every 24 hours, regardless of when I have it plugged in and locked.  For the last several weeks, it is backing up about 3 minutes later than it backed up the day before.  This is getting to be a problem because it has reached the point that I am sometimes awake and needing to use my phone at the time it wants to back up.  The last time this happened, the last backup showed as being "Unavailable"  When this happens I can still run a manual backup, so it's not a huge problem, just strange since it used to backup within a few minutes of plugging it in.  Any ideas?

    Not sure what to tell you. Per Apple:
    Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in Settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage, it will run on a daily basis...
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
    Perhaps what you were seeing before was an attempt to complete a backup that was interrupted before it finished.

  • I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures?

    I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures? Is there anything I can do to get them back as my other phone has now been cleared. On my iCloud storage it still shows that my previous phone had all the info still?? I'm confused!

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    Or, you can find other apps in the app store that send camera roll photos to a service like Dropbox.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

  • My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.

    My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.

    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?
