I have issues with icloud backup.
Hi,
I am facing issues with icloud backup, i have successfully backed up data from iphone 5s to icloud with contacts, notes, calender, reminders etc.
Unfortunately i can not see the same information after logging in online from browser. After two days the data is restored to one year back icloud back up on my iphone 5s.
Need help on this.
A backup of an iPhone using iCloud does not result in the ability to log in to iCloud and view the information (i.e., to see the actual data that was backed up). You can go on your iPhone to Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage > device name and see how much storage the latest backup is occupying and when it was done.
Things like Contacts that are viewable when logging in to iCloud.com are the result of having Settings > iCloud > Contacts (as an example) turned on to sync - which is a different thing than a backup.
The results of an iCloud backup are only rely viewable when restored back to an iOS device. I'm not sure any of that explanation helps with your current problem but it might help clarify the terminology that Apple uses.

I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update
I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update. I'm able to back via work wifi but not at home. Any ideas?
Hi BmoreHunter.
As far as using the bridge mode method you'd need to see what CLJDOhas to say, as that user is the only one that I see in this thread who used this method. The method that worked for me is different. I went out and bought a new modem. This made the most sense to me since the firmware in the unit that comcast gave me had issues and I am paying to rent the thing, I figured that I'll save some money if I just buy my own.
I ended up purchasing a motorola SURFboard eXtreme (model SB6121) for $70 (happened to be on sale) from my local Target. For another $7 I was able to secure a 2yr warranty against failure, which was my only hesitation in buying vs renting.
This modem should work just fine for you since you are a comcast customer. If you decide to go with a different modem, the important thing is to make sure that you purchase a modem that is compatible with the technology that your ISP (in this case comcast) uses. Also DOCSIS 3.0 is the "flavor" of cable modem you want as it will give you better performace than DOCSIS 2.0 devices (such as an older Motorola SURFboard).
Once you buy the modem you will have to call comcast and have them add the modem to your account. They'll ask for the MAC address of the modem, then send a re-set signal to it, so make sure you are home when you call and can connect/disconnect the modem as needed. After your modem is added to your account and up and running you can then connect your new AirPort Express to the modem (via ethernet cable) and you should be all set! -

I am still on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and do not have iCloud in my System Preferences. I have registered with iCloud online and backed up my iphone5 last night to my iMac. Where can I find the backup on my iMac?
Below is what comes up when I sign into iCloud - where are all the other applications that I need to backup?
Appreciate any answers to this query?
RachelYour question is unclear. If you're backing up to your iMac, (via iTunes, with cable or WiFi), this has nothing to do with iCloud and the backup is stored on your iMac here:
: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ -
Just recently, I have been unable to receive icloud email on my iphone and new ipad3. Although, I am a loyal apple consumer, I feel a bit let down. I am a PhD student and used my ipad/icloud email for downloading and reading PDF journal articles. My goal is to eventally buy a MacBook Pro and eliminate some of the syncing issues with icloud by storing my documents on the hard drive. I hope this will give me some relief from all the trouble I have had with icloud. Please share your suggestions.
Right now, there is an iCloud blackout. Most people are having issues syncing Notes, Calenders, and Contacts between devices, emails aren't being sent, and Find My iPhone isn't working.

Has any one experienced issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices? The primary machine is an iMac running Lion. Address Book was created from vcf file (backup of address book prior to moving to iCloud). iTouch replicates Contacts just fine and matches the Address Book on the iMac. The iPad 2 does not showing only 123 contacts where there should be 200. I have turned off iCloud on both devices thus erasing the iCloud content of both devices and staring from scratch with both devices with identical results. Even turned off iCloud on the iMac and erased the Address Book and rebuilt with the same results. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am going nuts.....
To follow-up with this issue:
I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

My iPad is not responding. It does not unlock. I have a message: iCloud Backup, "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 5 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi". My Question: plugged in to WHAT? locked, HOW? and how to connect to Wi-Fi when my iPad does not respond to anything I do with it? PLEASE HELP.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
The iPad makes a backup into iCloud automatically when it's connected to the network and it is been charged -
Issue with iCloud.. email address and responding
Hi Everyone,
Not sure why this is happening but I have encountered some recent issues with iCloud. A little history I restored my iphone 4s and have reinstalled and reset all my accounts, apps, and services. All was working well until this last week.
1) Before (restoring my phone), I was able to reply to any email (icloud or other) on my phone AND select which ever 'from account' I had available, INCLUDING the icloud alaises. Now when I reply through the phone I do not get access to those alaises for some reason.
2) Through the browser (Safari or Chrome), I can not reply to emails in iCloud. It crashes. I can however forward, but once I hit reply it generates an error.
iCloud has also somehow merged my emails addresses into mail but again disregarding the alaises created. I don't sync my MacBook Mail with iCloud Mail documents (Thank God), but I do sync Calendars, and Contacts. (Btw it would be nice to select which Contact groups to sync with as on iTunes)
Not sure what is going on but it has become quite annoying especially when it was working just fine about 2-3 weeks ago.
Any ideas/solutions?
ThanksTry going back to http://appleid.apple.com and changing the ID back to the original address. If you can get this accepted, then go to the iCloud preferences/settings pane, stop 'Find My ....', and then sign out. Do the same on any other devices or computers.
Then go back to http://appleid.apple.com and change the ID to the new one. Sign in with that on all your devices.
However as the address which forms the original ID is now not working it can't be validated and it's possible that you won't be able to revert to it. In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee. -
Issues with iCloud registration
Hi I'm having an issue with Icloud on my mac and iphone. I have tried setting it up more than once, but I never seem to receive the confirmation email. It doesn't go to my spam account, my email is accurate and apple is not blocked. Anyone else having this issue?
Fromsouth, I think you have misinterpret what i'm trying to say.
First of all, thanks for your help and advice.
I know that I can used my old ID in the settings for purchases, however I am using icloud.com for all of my mails, calendar etc. however I do not want to change my email address as I have changed it once from Hotmail.
You mentioned that it is stupid just to have an icloud.com address. If Microsft and Google can do it, i'm sure apple can. If I forget my Microsoft password I get them to send the reset password to my phone or I used my computer or any other authorised device to reset my password.
Don't get me wrong as I am a big fan of apple, all i'm missing from the apple range is a Mac. I truly do love the apple approach and I love my iGadgets. However, I would love to have the option of just having an apple account as I do not want or need a microsft or Google account. In fact, i'm happy to pay the premium to have extra iCloud storage....
And you are right, iCloud is an excellent service, one that I have come to rely on. -
I have done an icloud backup on my iPad mini. I now need to get back one of the iMovie videos that I backed up. How do I restore one individual file?
You can't. When you restore from a backup it will restore everything in the backup. You might be able to find a third party app that will allow you to extract individual files from an iTunes backup, but not with an iCloud backup.

Hello, I have issues with my iphone 4s under ios 7.1.2. I have always set the settings to automatically sync all my setup to icloud. However, from time to time, my iphone suddenly loses all my contacts even though icloud is still activated. I have faced this unstability several times in the past 3 months. I haven't found an automatic way to retrieve them but it seems that deactivating icloud, restarting the iphone and reactivating icloud is working.
However, is there another way to fix this issue for good? It indeed becomes very troublesome.
Thanks for your help.First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing. -

I am using Firefox 12.0. I did not have issue with hotmail, but I am facing problem this week after firefox upgrade. After entering login the page freeze. I am not able to continue.
I reviewed the thread. I am not using Foxit.
I reviewed hot mail forum. They suggest firefox upgrade causes this issue.
I tried after clearing my browser's cache and cookies. The situation remain same. Any idea?
What is the workaround?Firefox 3.6 needs the Java Second Generation Plugin which comes with newer versions than 1.6.0_03 - update Java, the latest version is 1.6.0_22

How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.
How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.
I backed up my old iPhone on iCloud, ensuring that contacts was 'on' and then backed up my new iPhone 5. I have surely missed a vital step, but I can't figure it out.
I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks!
LauraI have also realised that my contacts are not in iCloud. I have backed up my old iPhone several times (today!) and they are simly not getting there. Any ideas?
