ICloud does not back up.

Using wifi, iPhone 5.1, iPad 2 and MacBook 10.7.4
All settings done.
What could be wrong?
Thank you.

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.
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.

  • HT4759 iCloud does not back up iMac HD...seems crazy why not...Appl passing up money for backing-up Mac's?

    iCloud does not back up iMac HD...seems crazy why not...Appl passing up money for backing-up Mac's? What is the best Cloud back-up solution and can a Cloud Clone be made?

    I had a problem where it would not backup any more. Some of the diagnostics that they had me do were:
    1. Repair Disk on the TM drive
    2. Try backing up by clicking/holding the TM Icon and choose Backup Now
    If failed:
    3. Reboot Leopard
    4. Try step 2 again
    If Failed:
    5. Disk Utility repair permissions
    6. Try step 2 again
    If Failed:
    7. Log out and login as administrator
    8. Launch Console from the Utilities Folder
    9. In the System Log Search for "Time Machine"
    10. Use that to help figure out problems and call Apple Care

  • Icloud is not backing up daily automatically on my phone or ipad I have to select back up now each day manually why is it not doing when locked on wifi

    Make sure your devices are also connected to external power or the wifi will disconnect after a few seconds.  If they are and they still won't back up, it may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.  Then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
    If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

  • HT4859 My iPhone does not back up with iCloud.

    Hi, my iPhone just does not back up with iClouds, even trying manually. Don't know why, tried everithing, it just start the proces and says: "calculating remining time" and stays there forever. Anyone know something about?
    I even upgraded the iCloud back up space (was close to the five gb)
    Even-thought my iPad works perfectly with iCloud using the same account. 
    Thanks!

    Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much space is available on your phone (listed at the very top).  The pop-up might be telling you that you don't have enough space on your phone to perform the backup, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud acount to store the backup.

  • Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) HELP!

    Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) and requires the password to do anything. Everytime I go onto the ICloud  page it shows my old email and requires the password, but I can't exactly type in a password because that won't work. I can't find a way to change my email or delete ICloud.

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • HT204053 I just changed my  Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.

    I just changed my  Apple Password and icloud does not recognize the password.

    To change it on your iPhone you have go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then set it up again with your new credentials.  When you delete the account from your phone it will delete any data you are syncing with iCloud (such as contacts and calendars) from your phone but it will remain in iCloud.  Provided your are signing back into your existing account and not changing to a new account, it will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

  • ICloud does not backup 4S

    iCloud does not backup. On my iPhone 4S it states "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later." after attempting to Back Up Now. I've spent far too much time trying to discover a work around to this issue, and I've been on this forum and others in search of answers, to no avail.
    Before receiving my iPhone 4S in the mail on October 17th, I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 on the morning of the 15th. In using iCloud on that device, everything "just worked" as we're told that it should. As this problem has become apparent with my 4S, I have gone back and disabled iCloud on my old 3GS, but this has not solved my problem.
    I've found many other customers in my searches that have had this same, or similar, issue. Some users claimed that turning off and on iCloud solved their problem. Some claimed that restoring their iPhone to factory settings and then reclaiming backed up data solved their peoblem. Some claimed that creating a new Apple account, using it to backup through iCloud, and then logging into their original Apple account solved their problem. None of these solutions worked for me. 
    Some users have speculated that this is some kind of corrupt account issue. I'm beginning to feel this way as well.
    I'm not really interested in going to the Genius Bar, because frankly I've been more effective on my own and I haven't been impressed with their knowledge in the past. I am willing to call AppleCare to try to get some flag raised in Apple's Engineering department as a last resort, but I'm curious how widespread this issue is and if anybody has had any luck with this route yet.

    I don't want version and I want to go back to iOS 7.1.2 please tell me how to do it.
    You can't.  There's no going back to a previous iOS on an iPhone. Apple doesn't support it.  Have you taken the phone into an Apple store Genius bar to have them take a look at it?  Be sure to make an appointment before going in.

  • ICloud does not recognize iwork.

    Hello guys, I have a broblem.
    I have iwork 9', but iCloud does not recognize it. When I go to iCloud, it offers me to buy keynote, pages and numbers..., any ideas?
    I can send my files to iwork.com (beta), but can not send it on iCloud.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Tnx

    Did you change the assigned email address of your account before you tried to change it on the iPad? If yes then you would have to change the ID back to the old email address, then sign out, then change it back to the new address and then sign in again.

  • I changed my AppleID/Password and now am locked out of iCloud. iCloud says maximum number of free accounts have been activated. tried Settings, Mail etc but iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete it and start again.

    Had to change Apple ID/Password recently now cannot access iCloud. In settings when tapping iC, log in screen appears with old ID and request for (old) password.
    In Settings  Mail, Contacts etc iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete account.
    Trying new ID/Password message appears "maximum no. of free accounts have been activated".
    Using old ID/Password message apperas "you can,t sign in because account was disabled for security reasons ......reset password at iforgot.apple.com which i did.
    Can anybody help please??

    Hi,
    I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
    I reset both my Apple ID and password.
    When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
    Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
    If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
    In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
    Any suggestions??

  • HT3275 My time machine does not back up and giving me this error message: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/Amiel's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use. Pls help.

    My time machine does not back up and giving me this error message: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Amiel’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use. Pls help.

    Make sure that there are no other Macs backing up at the present time.
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cord back in
    This will "fix" things about 98% of the time. Post back if you are in the unlucky 2% category.

    help me please

    You can't. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, because without the previous owner's Apple ID/Password, you will not be able to re-activate the phone. It will be useless to you.
    Apple can't/won't help you with this.

  • ICloud does not recognize outlook 2010

    Win 7 64bit. Outlook 2010.  Open iCloud control and all items refering to Outlook are not selectable.  What have I missed? The [email protected] was added to Outlook.  Can receive and send mail.  Unable to sync calendars/task, contacts or mail.
    Thank you.
    Dan

    Greetings.
    I am using the 32-bit version of Outlook 2010 on my Win7 64-bit system. I had no problems with MobileMe and I thought (that is what I get for thinking) the migration would be somewhat painless.  Not the case.  I see the adin for iCloud in Outlook and it is enabled, however, iCloud does not see Outlook 2010.  Trying to follow HELP at Apple, is like a dog chasing it's tail.  Round and round with no answers.

    contacts backup to iCloud
    iCloud is not backing up my contacts for the last month or so. i tried turning it on and off but to no avail. suggestions?

    if you can't get it to reboot then I would let it run out of power that result in a reboot if
    the screen then don't comes on when you charged it again then I would say hardware defect
    and repair needed

  • In system preferenes, MobileMe shows, but iCloud does not, although I have supposedly set it up on my Mac.  iCloud is set up on my iPhone.

    In system preferences, MobileMe shows, but iCloud does not, although I have supposedly set it up on my Mac.  iCloud is set up on my iPhone.

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
