ICloud Backups do not seem to be Incremental

After the initial setup of iCloud, I ran a manual backup. It was 2GB worth of data and took roughly 3 hours. Since then, my iphone shows that my next backup will be 2.1GB. Shouldn't it be .1GB if it is incremental? This does not seem practical if iCloud is trying to make full backups each day. Anyone else experience this behavior? I am using an iPhone 4 btw.

The only way I made that determination was based on time it took to backup. The original backup that showed "next backup size 2GB" took roughly 3 hours. The second backup which I am only assuming is incremental, stated "next backup size 2.1GB" and took roughly 10 minutes. My assumption is the delta would be next backup size minus backup size, or roughly .1 GB. Again, I am only assuming based on length of time for the backup to complete. Can anyone validate if this reasoning is correct? The first backup I had to run manually. The second backup was automatic once all of the criteria were met: power, wifi, locked.

Just got an iPad mini 3 and have not reset my iPad mini 3; is that why the photos from iCloud backup are not showing up in the new iPad?

Sorry, don't know what you are asking. You have an old iPad Mini 3 and a new iPad Mini 3? How did you set up the new iPad? Did you restore it from a backup of the old iPad? What photos are you not seeing?

ICloud Backup is not showing up when trying to restore?

(Obviously) I just updated to iOS 7. GOt through activation and everything. But when I was setting up through the phone and through iTunes, my iCloud backup does not show to restore from. I backed it up this morning at 9 AM and it only shows one from 1 PM. I checked my iCloud storage and the control panel and it's there, but not available apparently for a restore. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Is it possible that some of the clips were recorded in 60P? iMovie does not natively edit 60P.
There are several options.
You could convert it to 30P using an app like ClipWrap.
You can edit 60P in Final Cut Pro X.
Finally, although I haven't tried this myself, some have reported that they have hacked iMovie to be able to edit 60P. Here is a blog post, for example. http://ianperegian.com/My_FZ35_38_Webpage/Edit_1080_50p_and_burn_a_disk.html

1.3) Your file is saved on desktop or any location that you choose to save at.
2) On your device, go to the settings menu - General - Reset - Erase All Content and Settings

My iphone says that icloud has not been backed up in 2 weeks...but after several attemps to back up, it continues to say "the latest backup did not complete"...I did have the phone plugged into my computer & connected to wi-fi..and it was locked...any idea why it won't complete the backup? it says total storage is 5.0 GB & available is 3.3 GB

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
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.

TS3992 Icloud backup does not completed after install IOS 8

I recently installed iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s (32 GB). Prior to the install, I had just enough storage to backup on iCloud. However, after the install, it is saying "[a]n additional 3.1 GB of storage is required. This is puzzling because under Manage Storage it says that I have 4.3 GB worth of backups (3.6 for iPhone and 731 MB for iPad), which is within the 5 GB of free storage. In addition when I try to Backup my Iphone several times show me that the Backup is not completed and the last back up was before install IOS 8(17 Sept)
it is probably something to do with the iOS 8 update. This could be the case, although I downloaded and installed iOS 8 via Iphone wireless update, so nothing (I'm guessing?) should have been downloaded onto the phone.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am having this problem too and I saw on another board that it is because it is keeping the copy from ios7 instead of replacing it w/the new one and that the solution is to delete the old backup. I have not verified that this is the correct answer yet as I do not know how to do that, but at least it may get you one step closer.

My iCloud Backup restore process seems to be stuck

I am trying to restore an iCloud backup to a iPhone5s. I started the process about 20 hours ago. Most of my data was restored within a couple hours, but since then, it seems to be stuck restoring. It looks like my Podcasts and Pictures are the two areas left that say they are still downloading with no progress for the past 12-15 hours at least.
Is there any way to get the restore moving again or do I need to wipe and start over?
Thanks,
Tim

I have done that several times to no avail. That's what I was afraid of that, I need to start over. I was just trying to avoid it since I had trouble once already.
This is actually a replacement for another bad phone I got yesterday at the Apple store. While I was in the store, I started the restore process and it also stuck, but they seemed to get it going again and after I was home, it continued to restore until the point mentioned above.
I went ahead and wiped and now starting the wipe process over. I hope the backup I am restoring isn't the problem.
Thanks for your help.

ICloud backup warning not responding

an icloud backup warning will not respond, even after connecting to imac and backing up through itunes with usb connection. Any advice appreciated!

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Automated Backup Does Not Seem to be Working

I tried to set up an automated backup on an Azure Web App. It's on the Standard Plan. It allowed me to configure it and after I did so I got a notification saying it was set up. And I see now that it has a status of "Created". But it does not seem
to have moved any further -- and it has been about 15 minutes.
I did successfully get a manual backup of the site to work last night with the same configuration.
Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?
Thank you.

Hi,
I would request you to check under backup options, scheduled backup is on.
And also please make sure that the Backup and Restore feature requires an Azure storage account and container that must belong to the same subscription as the web app that you are going to back up.
Do check this and let us know so that we can investigate further.

Is there a way to download the files form you iCloud backup? Not restore but actually download the files.

Is there a way to retrieve your backup files from iCloud? Wehn you backup locally, you can get to the actual backup files. Is there a way to retrieve these from iCloud? I want to actually examine the individual files.

AFAIK, no, nor is there anyway to view your icloud backup.

Xperia Z1S backup does not seem to have worked

Last night I updated to lollipop, and that messed up my messenger. So I did a backup using PC companion, formatted my phone, and then used PC companion to restore the backup to my phone. It didnt give me any errors, just told me to unplug my phone, turn it off, and turn it back on and it should restore everything. But it doest seem like it did anything at all. I have no contacts, pictures, or apps. Its just like a new phone. My messaging app still locks up too, which makes me think its trying to load all my messages. How I can get all my contacts back at the least? I would like all my pictures and stuff on my phone as well, but contacts and messages are more important.
Solved!

Time Machine does not seems to be incremental

Seems like my client's time machine is backing up the whole hard drive every time, instead of the whole hard drive once, then incremental changes after that. The result is long backup times, which clog the local network (using Time Capsule for Time Machine backup of MacBook Air and iMac - both running 10.5.7)
Time machine is set to backup the startup disk as well as the media files which are on a disk image on the internal hard drive.
Also, the Time Capsule internet connection seems to drop when the Time Machine is backing up to it - both when the iMac is backing up via ethernet and separately when the MacBook Air is backing up via airport.
any ideas?

If you have files changing on a disc image, then each change will result in having the entire disc image backed up - again and again. Each backup will take much longer and eat up additional space on the backup drive. Each incremental backup of the disc image will require space for another copy of the disc image. This may well be the cause of the problem.
