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 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.

How can i use "icloud backup" with ios 4.2.1?

How can i use "icloud backup" with ios 4.2.1? I tried to update my ihpone 3G wih the newest IOs. Seems not to be possible.

You cannot.
It requires ios 5.
Your iphone can only go to 4.2.1

Can I restore an earlier iCloud backup with only one visible?

I had to restore my iPhone 3GS because attempting to transfer purchases from it somehow made it unreadable by any program. When I tried to Restore it, the Restore failed, and the phone told me to try Restoring again. However, while it was deciding that it had failed to Restore itself, the defective phone backed itself up over my saved iCloud backup (it backed up again before I shut off auto-backup, because for some reason, I couldn't access Settings until it finished mis-installing the Apps in queu).
I couldn't back the phone up on my new computer since the transfer never completed and iTunes crashed due to that failure. All the data that had been successfully transferred from my phone to my computer before the Transfer failed was gone when I got iTunes up again. Now I only have an iCloud backup with the failed Restore, missing a lot of my products, data, and functionality. How do I restore the original backup that wasn't screwed up?

I didn't have a Choose Backup option. In fact, when I attempted to Restore following this suggestion, my phone just immediately started the Restore process (from my computer, which had no backup saved to it, and it gave and continues to give no option to permit Restoration from iCloud) and ended up removing all data, apps, and accounts on my phone.
Now I have nothing.
My single iCloud backup appears to still exist, but it's useless because I can't do anything with it except delete it...and it's from after my phone crashed anyway, so it's not fully functional. But it would be better than what I have now, if I could actually get to it.

If you are unable to cancel or power down, try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

What up with all the screen freezes since the updates?

Sorry to say your installation must have been unsuccessful.
A normal installation would not do this.
Uninstall, run the cleanscript* and try again (maybe your AV is too agressive).

Try signing in and out of iCloud and backup manually. This might solve the problem.

Trouble setting up new device with iCloud backup

I am trying to set up a new Mac Book Pro, and a new iPad Air. I wasn't sure which to choose, set up as new or from iCloud backup. I was having challenges backing up to iCloud from my iPhone, so I chose set up as new, thinking when I logged into iCloud I could transfer the info. We used the new devices, the contacts were blank and my husband added myself and him to the Contacts.
I was able to back up my iCloud on my iPhone, so I started over from scratch with the new iPad, and chose restore from iCloud backup. the contacts and calendar are not showing up? and the only names in the Contacts are the two my husband added before.

You can check what is stored in iCloud.
iCloud.com > login > Contacts.
Then check out Calendar and Notes from there.
If they are there then there will be a way to download (sync) them to your iPad and new Mac. I’m not an expert in this latter procedure so I will leave it to others to post such instructions.
If on iCloud you find some good Notes, back them up by mailing them to yourself.
Did you have iCloud enabled on the MBP or another Mac with a copy of you Contacts on same? Is there a Time Machine backup of same? If so you can recover Contacts, Calendar,and Notes from that Time Machine backup. If so post back and I’ll post instructions on such restores.

Ipad stuck with icloud backup window - unable to access account

My iPad is stuck with the icloud backup window showing.
Both the Ignore button and the Settings button are ignored (they blink when I touch them, but nothing happens).
I cannot power off. No other icons on the screen respond.
I plugged it in, but that did not change the symptoms.
The wi-fi is working just fine for all my wireless devices.
I have been hitting ignore to the icloud backup notice for some time now since I changed my Apple Password as I have nothing on the iPad that I wish to back up.
Now it is unusable and I need it this afternoon for my facetime with my daughter in Australia.
Help.
Jim

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignor the off slider if it appear. Then turn the iPad back on using the On button.
Not sure if this will resolve the issue, but shouldn't hurt.

Anyone else having Safari and iCloud problems with 10.7.2 on iMac?

After upgrading to 10.7.2, I'm having intermittent problems with Safari not connecting to websites. Also, iCloud crashes and hangs when I select the address book. This is on a brand new iMac 2.5 core i5 with no third party web software or plugins (flash, etc.).
Apple care hasn't been much help to me with some other issues I've had, so I thought I'd seek out answers here.
Thanks,

Bump,
No one else is having problems with iCloud hanging?
My safari seems fine now, but iCloud is unusable.

New iphone 5 setup with icloud backup from 4s iOS5.1 (HELP PLEASE)

long story hopefully an easy fix....
on wensday my power supply went and had to ship computer across country to Puget Computer Systems as we weren't sure if it was power supply or mobo...luckily it was power supply.
i daily backed up iphone 4s with itunes (10.7) as i do all music manually, playlists, etc. have like 3,000 plus songs, videos, audiobooks, mail aaccts and about 48 apps.
so next day (sept 19th) apple comes out with iOS 6 which i update my 4s to with no problem. I wanted a day to play with it to learn my way around.
next day i wait in line for 8 hours overnite and was #2 in line at apple store for my ATT 32gb white iPhone 5. while at apple store I get my icloud backup which gets all paid music,apps, etc since itunes version 10.3 (i always did both backups so as not to lose my contacts more than anything.
I have other paid stuff that is in library on computer along with audiobooks and about 2700 more songs.
my icloud backup put the playlists on iPhone but not most of the music for them as lots were ripped from my cd's.as i double them up making a copy on iPhone and a copy on itunes.
So I have been using iPhone 5 with no problems just don't have all of itunes library on it. My computer is coming back this week how do I plug in iPhone 5 via USB (which will be seen as new phone even though it has same name) and use my existing iTunes 10.7 library which the backups in iTunes still has iOS 5.1.1 on it?
There must be an easy way of doing it as i don't want to wipe off iphone 5 again as i don't see any purpose my library is all organized perfectly. I know my way around windows 7 pro 64 bit pretty well just don't know what itunes is going to say once it sees "joe's iPhone" again and installs the usb drivers and icon for it. what will it ask in regards to library and how do i use it with previous iOS on it?
Thank you very much for the help as I am going to need it.

Hi,
No one has any answers here amoungst all this apple knowledge?
Thank you

ICloud backup with no wifi

The wifi on my iPhone 4S is greyed out. I tried doing a DFU restore but the wifi still does not work. I'm going to wait until my upgrade to get a new phone but my most recent backup is on iCloud, not iTunes. Since I can't restore my iCloudn back up without wifi, is there anyway to download my most recent iCloud backup to iTunes, or is there anyway to restore my iCloud backup on my phone with NO wifi?

google EPPB, it allows you to retrieve icloud backups.

Do I need to backup my pics and email etc with iCloud backup or would it delete my data?

I have an ipad (3rd gen) and an iPod (5th gen) I use the ipad for school as in my school instead of books and copies. I use my ipad for leisure and taking photos and videos and Facebook etc etc. both of the devices are using the same account. I only have the free 5GB backup package. I need the storage for my ipad school things as if I lose them..that's all my schoolwork..gone. I have recently taken a lot of photos with my iPod and downloaded a lot of games. Today a notification popped up saying that I'd almost run out of iCloud backup and that I could delete some of the backup on apps etc. so that's what I did and it barely made a dent in the backup figures. I then decided to delete most of my photos just so I'd have some more space for Facebook but it turns out that if you delete your photos, it doesn't actually result in a solution to the backup problem. So what I'm wondering is.. Do I really need to backup my pictures or email etc a and just leave the backup for my ipad? Also, when I go into Settings=>iCloud=>Storage & Backup=>Manage Storage=>this iPod at the bottom of the page there's a button that says "delete backup". I'm wondering if it would help my situation or something. Thanks in advance :)

You don't need to back up your photos to iCloud if you don't want to. If you don't, be sure to import them (and your videos) to your computer so they are backed up there, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. You can then turn Camera Roll off under Backup Options. This article explains other options for managing and reducing your iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.
If you tap Delete Backup in Manage Storage>your device, it will permanently delete the backup from iCloud. It won't do anything to the data currently on your device, but it does put you at risk until you create a new backup.
