Iphone 4, OS 8.1.3 cloud will not back up response is the last backup could not be completed

I have an iphone 4,  with OS 8.1.3.  I receive notification to back up the cloud, connect to Wi-Fi, plug the phone in and the back up start  the back up. When I check the screen says the last backup could not be completed.

Hi Gabby0213,
It sounds like you are going through the correct steps to backup your iPhone: connecting to power and Wi-Fi.
How much space do you have left in iCloud and how much are you backing up?

  • TS3992 I keep getting an error message "the last backup could not be completed" every time I try to backup my iPhone manually.  It's been almost two months since the last successful backup!

    My iPhone 4s will not backup. I've tried repeatedly but keep getting the message "the last backup could not be completed".  It's been nearly two months since the
    last backup.  However, my iPad2 is backing up perfectly.  Any thoughts???????

    Try the following steps:
    Plug your iPod Touch to your Mac/PC using USB cable.
    Open iTunes software and choose “backup to this computer” .
    Then you need to do a sysncing.
    Go to iCloud (iPod Touch: Settings > iCloud) and delete all previous backups.
    Then in iTunes, Turn on “backup to iCloud” again.
    On your iOS device, now you are able to backup to iCloud.

  • The last backup could not be completed - iPhone 5 after iOS 7 upgrade

    I'm using iPhone 5 & iPad with Retina Display.
    iCloud backup was used for both devices.
    Now everytime I try to backup manually, it says 'The last backup could not be completed.' after iOS 7 upgrade.
    Auto backup isn't working, either.
    I tried several things like backing up using iTunes then deleting previous backups then turnning iCloud backup again, or turning off Camera Roll in backup option , or holding the power button and home button to reset the device.
    None of them worked yet.
    What should I do?
    I just have noticed that I cannot find iPhone 5 among the products registered with my apple ID below before I was posting.
    Is it concerned with my apple ID or something? Not the devices?

    since i upgraded to iphone 6 have the same issus. that includ in my Ipad - probably something happened wiht the Apple ID.
    nothun is working/ and when i plug the divces to Itunes - it says that "Itunes coulnd not back up iphone/ipad an error accourd.
    can someone help me?!
    I deleted last backups and still nothing.
    i tried to backup with another authrized computer and other network and still nothing!
    thanks ahead!

    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.

  • I can't backup my iPhone to iCloud Last backup could not be completed

    After updating to iOS7 I can't backup my iPhone to iCloud.  When I try it starts up, then stops and says, "Last backup could not be completed"
    Details: I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3
    Things I have already tried (in the order I tried them):
    - Doing a 'hard reset' on the phone
    - Buying more iCloud storage
    - Deleting the old backup that was saved into iCloud (so now I have no backups saved)
    - Turning phone off then on again
    - Changing my iCloud password
    - Deleting the iCloud account from my phone then signing in again
    Other issue which may or not be related:
    - I have yet to get the Music app to work on this phone since updating to iOS7.  It opens then promptly crashes.  This is secondary to getting the backups to work.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    For all devices, iTunes says "could not back up ... because a session could not be started".

    I have already tried to re-install, reboot, stop/restart Apple mobile devices service, without success.
    Thanks!

    I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

  • TS3992 Iphone message says last backup could not be completed

    I keep recieving a message on the iphone 4s that say last backup could not be completed.

    If other suggestions found in the forum don't help in this matter, then...
    Backup not successful:  I had the same problem.
    My solution was to turn off some apps (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap my device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options) and try a manual backup.  If it didn't work, turn off a few more apps and try a backup.  Keep doing that until the backup works.  Then try adding in some of the last batch of apps that were previously turned off - the objective is to find the app that causes the backup to fail.  For me, I suspect that the one app I found had a bad data file that, when included in the backup, caused the backup to quit.
    This can be a long process if you have a lot of apps that you originally turned on for backups.

  • TS3992 I have ios 5.1.1 on my iphone 3gs and i can't seem to back up to my icloud. The only error the phone gives me is that the last backup did not complete. This happens even when i attempt to manually back up my phone to the cloud.

    I am pretty sure my login information is correct because i see my previous backup on the phone. Any idea's what might cause this?

  • TS2529 itunes does not let me restore from the last backup of my recently upgraded to 5.1 iphone

    I recently updated from 4.2.1 to 5.1 and now itunes does not show me the "restore from the backup of..." option. It doesn't even let me restore from any backup. I found the backup in the library and made a backup of it just in case. How can I restore from this backup if Itunes doesn't give me the option?
    Please help!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    go to iTunes/Settings and see if "Apps" is selected in General/Show:
    If yes, your App folder should be listed under "library" in the left window in iTunes again.
    There is no extra App folder listed when you click on your device in the device list.
    German version:
    Im Menü iTunes/Einstellungen/Allgemein nachschauen, ob bei "Anzeigen" die Auswahl "Apps" aktiviert ist. Danach sollte der App Ordner unter dem Punkt "Mediathek" wieder auftauchen.
    Wenn das Telefon in der Geräteliste markiert ist, gibt es den App Ordner nur auf der rechten Seite.
