IPad 1 backup issues

For a few months, I have had problems syncing my iPad 1. It regularly fails on the backup step. It gets about 90% of the way through then stops. I can leave it for 8 hours and it still wont complete.
iTunes wont let me stop the backup - all I can do is force quit. The iPad wont switch off after I cancel a failed sync - I have to force it to shut down.
I have tried a factory reset on the iPad and deleting the backup in iTunes. That fixed the problem for about 6 weeks but now the problem has returned. The only other way around the problem is to delete the backup files and start again. I have been to my local Apple store and they don't know what is causing this.
Any ideas please?
I am on iOS 4.3, iTunes 10.2.1, OSX 10.6.6

Hi,
You may have a third party app that's stalling the backup.
Under the Apps tab in the iTunes menu deselect *Sync Apps*
Deselect: *Automatically Sync New Apps*
Restart your iPad. Press and hold down the Sleep/Wake button until you see the red slider. Swipe to turn off. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple icon.
Try syncing. If that makes a difference, try re syncing with only 5 apps selected, click Sync. Process of elimination.
If you find the guilty party, check the developer site for support.

HT1766 IPad Backup Issue with The Cloud

I have a message on my iPad screen that says '"iCloud Backup" The iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi.' I click "ok" but message won't go away. I can't turn off the iPad either or lock the screen, because the dialogue box with this error message in it won't go away, even when I plug it in so it is fully charged and connected to Wi-Fi.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

ICloud Backup Issues on iPhone & iPad Air: NOT Enough Storage (5 GB)

I've been a user of the free 5 GB of storage since its inception without any problems. I was backing up data on my iPhone and 3rd gen. iPad on a regular basis and never ran into any issues.
I recently upgraded to an iPad Air and set it up using a restoration and it went off without a hitch. The very next day I started noticing these warnings that I was approaching my storage limit even though I had not really changed the amount of data on my phone or the Air. I don't download lots of apps and basically only update them when necessary. I use iTunes Match, so I stream my music from the cloud so I don't have audio files on any devices, with the exception of my iPhone for those times I don't have access to wi-fi -- and it's always been the same number of files/same size.
(The iPhone is showing 3.5 GB in use and the Air is showing 1.3 as of this post).
I do have a fair amount of photos in the iPhoto stream as I'm always snapping something, but not to the point of being obssessed. And I always am moving them into iPhoto/Aperture and deleting them frequently, so I'm not talking about thousands of photos being on either device at any time.
In other words, I'm like the average user when it comes to the amount of data on my devices -- and am not going overboard where it's at the point that I know I have to delete things to make room.
I've scrutinized the file sizes of everything I possibly can in the settings on both devices yet I'm still getting the warning that I don't have enough storage space. I find it hard to believe that something during the process of setting up the Air pushed my storage over the edge to where I actually need to purchase space because I just am not seeing any deviation from what I used to do before setting up the Air.
I deleted the 3rd gen. iPad backup as well as any other old backups from iCloud which are no longer relevant each and every single time I've upgraded any device. I don't have anyone else using these devices other than myself so no one is downloading apps, snapping pix, or doing anything which would add data. I did a quick glance at the forums to see that lots of people have this problem - so I'm wondering if it's some type of glitch?
My iPhone told me today that I had not backed up to iCloud in weeks - which I'm sure refers to the time right around I bought the Air - as I have my devices to auto backup when connected to wi-fi. The last backup according to settings was 5/6 -- while the Air was on 5/16.
This is very annoying as I don't want to have to buy the next level of storage just to rid myself of this message so I'd be interested to know what others have tried. Sure, I can just do a complete backup of all my devices to my computer -- which I do fairly regularly -- but it was always good to know that I had access to iCloud backups for those times I didn't hook things up to my MBP.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to things I can try to rid myself of this dreaded message? It pops up daily and I really would love to fix it. Thanks!

I think I figured it out. I went through my iPhone and turned off a lot of the apps that were slotted to backup and it appears to done the trick as the phone is backing up to iCloud.
The language needs to be broken down where it makes more sense of what's happening behind the scenes during these backups as I think it can be easily miscontrued that it's the data the various specific apps are using which is the issue at hand and not them apps themselves is what's causing the increase in size; some people may think that if they turn these apps off, they are deleting the apps from their devices so they leave them all switched on which ends up bumping up the size and ultimately eating up storage space.
I admit to not really paying attention to what the explanation was saying when I initially got the error message which made me initially post this. Now that I'm rationally thinking, I can see the problem of the disappearing space and am off to turn off a handful of apps on the Air to reduce the storage allotment even more

Ipad backup not listed in itunes device backups but is on drive

I am trying to help a friend who upgraded their iPad mini to iOS7 but lost all the notes.
They did a backup but it now not listed in itunes device backups but I fount the folder on the hard drive with 8 other listed backups.
How do I add the original backup into itunes and restore from it?
Thanks anyone.
Simon

Hey Phantom42
Move them into folders that is listed below and iTunes should recognize it. Look in the Back up your backup sections to see the location.

IMessage not working on 5S and iPad Air issues

iMessage not working on 5S. Had 3 online chats with apple support but still not fixed. iPad air issues also; safari shuts down a lot on mine and my husbands iMessage not working. iMessage works on his 5S. Never had so many issues with Apple before. I receive SMS messages on 5S but no iMessage. It was suggested to me that I get a new sim or try another wifi, both seem odd given everything else works.
My husband and I got our phones the same day, his works right, mine doesn't.
iPad airs were purchased a month apart, mine works ok apart from safari shutdowns and his iMessage not working.
Also the slider to answer calls on both phones not always working. Had to reboot one of them and it forced us to set it up again from scratch.
Any ideas?

How to restore new ipad air from old ipad backup using itunes.

I'm trying to get all of the content from an old iPad onto new iPad air. I backed up the old iPad on iTunes, and when I plug in the new iPad air, it prompted that I must first update the software in order to back it up. I updated the software, but now I'm not sure how to get the old iPad backup onto the new iPad because it isn't seeing the new iPad as brand new anymore. How to I transfer the old stuff onto the new one after updating the software? I'm using iTunes for Windows.

Hey jh232808,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to restore a backup to a new iOS device. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
Restore using iTunes
Use these steps if you have a new iOS device, or you need to to restore after a factory reset:
Connect your device to the computer that has your backup.
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
You won't be able to install a backup that uses a later version of iOS than the device you're trying to install it on. Find out why.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup on my same account. They're both listed on my list of backups, but it won't let me choose to backup to the one I want on my other iPad which I no longer have. But I specifically want the pictures

How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup I have on my same iCloud account. The old one is totally gone. Both backups are listed on my iCloud account. So is there any way I can backup the one I have now to the other one. I really just want the pictures that are in the old backup. I have tried resetting and erasing all settings and data on the one I still have, but when I go to restore by iCloud; it only gives me the choice of restoring the same iPad. Then in iCloud>storage>backup, I'm still not able to choose which backup to backup to. I've even tried deleting the backup to the iPad I still have, then resetting all setting and data on the iPad, hoping that in resetting up the iPad it would give me the option to backup to my old iPad. But it doesn't. It still has memory of the backup of my newer iPad.
I JUST WANT THE PICTURES!!!
Thank you!!!
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 6.1.3, iCloud Backup

You now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device. I tried many ways, fortunately, I got a tool from http://tinyurl.com/Data-Recovery-iPhone to help me recover lost files easily! It supports iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc iOS devices!

This was suggested by the Backup Assist - software vendor....
A.)
...for 0x81080101:
"ERROR - The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x81000101)
The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try again this operation."
If you receive the above error in your report, we have recently found a registry key which
contains the timeout value set by Microsoft for VSS and found that you can edit this to extend it.
To get to the registry key, open Regedit (Start > Run > Regedit) and browse to:
"HKLM\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\SPP\\CreateTimeout".
Change value to 1200000 (2*10*60*1000 = 20 mins).
The default for the timeout period is 10 mins so hopefully doubling this will give enough time to
complete the snapshot.
If this isn't present, you'll need to manually enter the registry key. It's a DWORD 32-bit key.

MSReport/Diag, VSS debugging, or another way of helping fix our OS(SystemState/C: drive) backup issues?
Any help is greatly appreciated - thx.

Hi Scot,
Sometimes a third party backup application will change the default VSS provider adding VSS writers which causes Windows Server Backup using an incorrect component in doing backup, that's why I suggest to delete it for a test. Anyway you can reinstall it
after testing.
And as you said a high-load CPU could also be the cause of the issue so you may need to first rule hardware effective out.
If issue still exists, please try the steps below as well:
1. Please check DCOM Server Process Launcher service is started.
2. If not, try to change RPC service to run as SYSTEM account. To do this please modify the following key:
Note: Backup the key before edit incase it cause any issue.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\RpcSs\
Find "ObjectName" and change the value to LocalSystem.
Reboot to see if DCOM back to work and if Windows Server Backup starts working. If not, please provide the result if there is any new error occurs.
If DCOM still not work, please compare the content of the following key with a working server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE
Edit if there is any difference and make sure you created a backup of the key before editing.

tried defining the iPad as new - the same problem. started it in recovery mode - the same

The definition of insanity.....
Does it ask for the old device by name? How do you know it isn't restored? Have you completed setup and checked on the device?
Are you using the same iTunes account and Apple ID?
On your iTunes account, Open preferences, go to devices tab
Look in the box for a backup of your old device. Is there a backup?
If there is no backup, you have nothing to restore.

If not then you might be better off asking in the iTunes For Windows forum, you may be more likely to get better help there.

Help need to recover corrupted ipad backup

I thought it was a backup issue but Veeam have investigated and have said it is a VSS timeout issue (I'm not convinced)
Recently I have had to have a new logs drive and extend the size of the mail box drive but since those changes were made backup has run OK until this issues.
Any advice appreciated.

Hi,
Based on my research, when Veeam takes the snapshot to then do a VSS backup it will cause the databases in the DAG to fail over and cause lots of alerts and we can modify the REM for the backup issue:

*Really* cannot find iPad backup file

I have tried for weeks to find the iPad backup file. I run Itunes on Windows XP. I've checked the support page which says it should be in:
# Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You might not believe this: I don't even have the "Application Data"folder!
I know backup is taking place because I successfully restored my iPad a few days ago.
The only thing I should mention is that my media folder is J:\itunes_folder
and my iTune home is J:\itunes_home.
I've checked both of those directories and nothing looks like a backup file.
Does anyone have any clues on where the backups are or might be?
Thanks in advance,
Sandy.

Not sure if you've figured the answer already but will post anyway:
The "Application Data" folder in XP is hidden by default, all you need to do is enable the hidden files and folders: Go to My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View - "Show hidden files and folders" from the list
After that you will be able to navigate to the desired folder and backup what you need to.
Good luck
