Ipad wont back up unless via itunes

I have tried to back up to icloud but it wont, chugs away and then says a problem with back up, unless i go through itunes on computer with ipad plugged in. Is this a problem which is to be rectified by apple or am I missing something

Then back up the iPad 2 to iCloud. Go settings> iCloud> Storage and backup>
Then hit back up to iCloud.
Once this is done reset your new iPad and set it up again with your apple account and restore the iPad from iCloud when asked to the click on the ipad2 back up that will then show up and your new one will be just like your old ipad2 :)
Remember to rename one of them.

Ipad wont back up or sync

hi.
My nine-month old iPad1 has frozen. Whenever I restore it (holding down the home and top button), I get the Apple icon and then what appears to be the start of a screen-wide install bar ... it fills to about 3 mm and then stops.
The iPad will not boot up or do anything beyond showing this frozen part-install.
The iPad won't be restored from iTunes, won't back up or sync and mostly crashes iTunes (as in " Itunes: is not responding")
The iPad has plenty of battery charge, I've tried different USB ports, restarted my Mac ... done everything the forums seem to suggest.
I suspect this has happened since I stalled 4.3.3 but can't be sure.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
thanks, in anticipation.
Nick

Holding down the home and top button is called Resetting. You Restore it using iTunes.
However, if your iPad stops responding, showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes, you can place iPad into recovery mode and attempt to restore. See this article for instructions iPad: Unable to update or restore, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097

IPad wont back up to iCloud

Hi my husbands iPad 2 running ios 7.0.6 will not back up to iCloud.
The back up is going to be 1.6 GB. He has 2.3 GB available on iCloud.
When I start the back up it says it will take 30 hours !
There is no Camera Roll, Mail, Photos to back up, just his calender and a few games.
When I back my iPad up which has masses of data on it takes a few minutes.
Why would this take so long?
Thank you for any help.

Thanks for your email and help.Some clarifications:
Yes, I have paid for itunes match. I have only a few songs on my ipad. The majority of them are on my PC which is where I manage my itunes accoiunt from. My ipad streams songs on demand from itunes match.
Yes, I have also paid for extra space in icloud backup storage - I have bought the additional 10 GB
My ipad is a 64 GB ipad 3 device, UK model. NB I have upgraded it to IOS6. Therefore settings/general/usage/icloud-manage storage does not exist as a valid string. However under settings/icloud/storage & backup/ total storage it shows 15 GB and under available it shows 9.9GB
Under settings / general / capacity it shopwes 57.2 gb and under available it shows 19.1 GB
I do have some large photos and videos on the device. Is this likely to be the issue?
Thaks to all for your help.

IOS update fails (iPad 4) both wirelessly and via iTunes

I bought an iPad 4 for a relative about six months ago. It came with iOS 5.1.1, which was kind of outdated at the time... but that wasn't a big issue since they only wanted to play a few games. Now I'm trying to repurpose it, and for its new purpose I need the iOS to be up to date.
When I go to Settings > General > Update, it indicates that iOS 6.1.3 is available. Trying to download the iOS directly on the iPad over a WiFi network takes about 15 minutes (apparently retrieving the entire file, then "preparing update" for a few seconds), but then results in an error dialog: "Software Update Failed / An error occurred downloading iOS 6.1.3." There's no further information on the failure available on the iPad, as far as I'm aware.
When I plug the iPad into my MacBook Pro running iTunes (ensuring that it is directly plugged into the laptop's own USB port rather than a hub, and that both iTunes and MacOS are fully updated), it shows the device as running iOS 5.1.1, enabling the "Update" button. Clicking the update button downloads "iPad Software Update" which is 1.11Gb. (Which itself is a bit odd; the MacBook's iTunes should have iOS 6.1.3 already downloaded, as my own iPad 4 is running that version. It's the same hardware -- same cellular provider, same version iPad, same amount of memory -- as the iPad I'm trying to repurpose.) When the download completes, it displays an error dialog: "The software for the iPad "[name]" was corrupted during download / Disconnect and reconnect, then try again. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." The iTunes downloads tab shows "err = 1403."
When I plug the iPad into a Windows 7 laptop running iTunes (ensuring that it is directly plugged into the laptop's USB port, and that both iTunes and Windows are fully updated), it shows the device as running iOS 5.1.1., enabling the "update" button. Clicking the update button downloads for about 15 minutes. When the download completes, it displays the same error dialog as the MacBook.
I have a 6.1.3 backup from my other iPad 4, on my MacBook's iTunes. I figured I could restore that backup then reset the iPad to factory settings, yielding a clean 6.1.3 install. But it says the iOS 5.1.1 is "too old" to restore the 6.1.3 backup on top of it. I'm running out of things to try.

no - there is no upgrade available for the version one iPad past IOS 5

Ipad wont start but connects to itunes

My ipad just wont turn on (I've tried restarting, charging etc) but when I plug it in, itunes recognises it is there.
help please!

Hello ktbrt,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If iTunes is recognizes your iPad when it is plugged in, then the iPad is powered on already. This indicates that the display is having issues. To troubleshoot this issue where you just see a black screen, please follow the directions below.
If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
Reset your device while it's plugged in.
If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Cheers,
Alex H.

IPad 2 issue: syncing files via iTunes

I've been having problems syncing files (namely PSD to Sketchbook Pro) through iTunes on my new iPad 2. All the software is up to date. I can drag the files into the app folder but when I open Sketchbook Pro on the iPad there's nothing.

That's exactly what I have been doing. I just followed some similar threads, so it appears to be an issue with the most recent iTunes update (everything worked like clockwork on my previous iPad and iTunes until this update).
Thanks for your help regardless.

Ipad wont turn on unless i put it in dfu mode, and then it still turns off within a few minutes, ipad wont turn on unless i put it in dfu mode, and then it still turns off within a few minutes

my ipad 2 turns off by its self, it works perfectly fine otherwise, the condition is very good and it has never been dropped or anything. it turns off by itself and then i have to put it in dfu mode and recover it to turn it back on otherwise nothing else works. once i put it in dfu mode, the ipad turns on once fully recoved and restored to orginal settings but a few minutes later the process repeats, and turns off again. any helpp?

If your iPad is jailbroken, we can't help you.
 Cheers, Tom

Photo EXIF Data Stripped When Sync'd BACK to iPhone via iTunes

I'm not sure whether this belongs here or in the iPhone forum, but since it looks like an iTunes problem, I thought you all might have an idea. Here's the problem:
1. Take Picture with iPhone (3GS, if it matters) in portrait orientation.
2. Import Picture into Photoshop Elements 7.
3. EXIF Data survives (including correct orientation).
4. Put Picture in "iPhone Pictures" Album in Photoshop Elements 7.
5. EXIF Data survives (including correct orientation).
6. Delete Picture from Camera Roll on iPhone.
7. Sync "iPhone Pictures" Album (which includes Picture) to iPhone using iTunes 8.2.0.23.
8. EXIF Data lost (including incorrect orientation).
9. Picture appears on iPhone with incorrect orientation and all other EXIF Data appears to have been lost.
This appears, then, to be a problem with the way iTunes is treating the Picture when it syncs it back to the iPhone as a part of the "iPhone Pictures" Album, but I'm not certain.
My particular concern is with the loss of the orientation flag (which results in all portrait images rotated 90* CCW).
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

Great bug report! Sorry, I don't have any ideas on how you might workaround it. I can only suggest that you submit it to Apple as a "real" bug report.

wont charge some strange reason
sorry for recreating thread it said i found help with answer but i didn't
it wont charge at all have tried the home+lock button reset thing still didnt work tried using different adapting cables still nothing! any more insight please?

This article helps for trying to get the device to connect to iTunes again.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
But I think that you have bigger issues than that. Did you try leaving it on the charger for an hour or two and see if you get anything at all?
