Iphone 4 will not backup with Icloud.

I have Iphone4.  When I backup with Icloud the bar starts across then quits.  It says "the last backup could not be completed" but gives no reason.  My Ipad, wife's Iphone 4s and Ipad 2 all backup successfully.

  • My iPhone 4S will not backup to iCloud

    My iPhone 4S will not backup to iCloud. My husband has the iPhone 4 and has no proleg with backups. Any suggestions?

    You need to have your phone plugged in and on wifi for automatic backups to take place.   Also, you must not be out of your 5GB free space on your iCloud account.
    If it is hanging up, delete the existing backup and then try to start again.

  • My address book will not synch with iCloud or iPhone 4

    Since upgrading to lion, my address book will not synch with icloud or my iphone 4.  Any idea what I should do?

    I can't figure out what's going on.  Been working on this all day.  Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything.  The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list.  I use quickbooks 2012 for mac.  It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac.  If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac.  But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone.  If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book.  It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks.  No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone.  It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks.  I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.

  • MBP will not register with iCloud servers (and most iCloud features + Handoff and Continuity do not work)

    Hi all,
    I have an extremely strange issue on my rMBP which has not been solved yet despite over 2 hours on the phone with Apple support, and another hour after being put through to a Senior Advisor, and several online chats.
    I have a Apple Certified Refurbished Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro, which has a 2.3Ghz i7, 16GB of RAM, 500 Flash Storage and the NVIDIA discrete graphics. It was purchased in December 2014 on the Apple Store. It is running 10.10.2.
    For some reason, my computer WILL NOT register with iCloud. Messages and Facetime both would not work, my iPhone 4S which is capable of text message forwarding would not recognise it and allow me to turn it on. Handoff, Continuity and Instant Hotspot - basically any of the features to do with iCloud or connecting to another device - do not work.
    Originally I believed it was just an issue with Messages and Facetime so I reinstalled the OS back to 10.10.1, but that did not solve the problem. All my Messages contacts kept on coming back as 'not registered with iMessage' and I could not turn on SMS Relay either.
    I contacted Apple on Wednesday night and ended up talking to several different people, the Senior Advisor was the most helpful - really tried to help me figure out what was wrong, and to fix it - wonderful help, really was. They used screen sharing and were quite confused. They figured out as well that Handoff, Instant Hotspot, and all those other features don't work either. At this point, they made me update to 10.10.2 to see if it was an issue with the update, but to no avail.
    Eventually, the SA checked my iCloud account and saw that the computer hadn't even connected to iCloud, and wasn't even showing up as one of my devices, despite the fact that I had signed into iCloud on this computer.
    The SA told me that he suspected it must have been something to do with hardware, but didn't know what it could be. He said the only time he had seen this before was on a refurbished laptop when the serial number hadn't been put back on, but my serial number was there, so he said it must have been something to do with Bluetooth or Wifi.
    Wireless seems to work completely fine, but there is a strange thing with Bluetooth in which within System report says that the computer is not discoverable or connectable, despite the fact that in the Menu Bar it says it is on and discoverable. It becomes discoverable and connectable once you toggle the switch in System Preferences.
    I was planning to book a Genius Bar Appointment as suggested by the SA, but something strange happened today - all of a sudden, some (not all of them) of my iMessages from earlier today came through. Still no working Handoff or Facetime or Continuity, but now I am starting to wonder what is really wrong.
    Despite the fact they said it was hardware (especially Bluetooth), what could explain why it (seldom) or will not register with iCloud? Can anybody shed some light on the situation and whether a Genius Bar appointment could help fix it?
    Cheers and thanks in advance.

    Needed to add some clarification here:
    iCloud shows me as signed in, but Calendars are NOT checked
    Internet Accounts shows Calendars as syncing

  • Iphone 4 will not sync with cloud, just tells me it failed and try again for the past month

    my iphone 4 will not sync with teh cloud.  I tried deletaing the backup on the cloud adn starting a new one, I tried resetting cloud on my iphone adn still an error that jsut says it had an error and try again later for over a month now.  any suggestions?

    Hi not sure if Im leaving this is in the right place but here is my issue:
    I have an iphone 4s and everything is working, including syncing it except that I have shot two videos that are 30 and 60 minutes that are not showing up on itunes. Therefore, I cannot save them and delete them off my phone. Curiously, when I view my phone on itunes it is showing on the content summary (color coded bar on the bottom of the screen) that the 'other' type content is 13 GB. I don't have other content and I am positive itunes is not recognizing them as video but 'other'. Any thoughts on this? My phone is full and don't want to delete these two interviews I shot. Thanks.

  • IPhone 5 will not sync with iCal

    iphone 5 will not sync with ical using 10.7.5 please help

    Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files.  I"ll see if that works.  ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

  • Phone will not backup to iCloud

    My iPhone has very little it yet will not backup to iCloud. Says 2 hours?

    Sounds like you have a slow WiFi connection.

  • Pictures I take on my iPhone 6 will not sync with my macbook air.

    pictures I take on my iPhone 6 will not sync with my macbook air. They do however sync to the iPad. Everything is turned on for sharing. Pictures sent to me opened in iMessage or email and then I save into the photos app on my iPad do sync with my laptop. It is just  pictures taken with the phone. They only go to iPad and do make it to the laptop. What gives

    All syncing set the same way, iCloud turned on, photo stream turned on on iPhone and iPad and laptop. Photos from phone do sync to iPad, just not the laptop. I have done this for years. Never had a problem until I got the new system update and the new iPhoto app on laptop. I even tried uploading all my photos to,iCloud. Iit was taking so long I gave up nod turned it off. After that I noticed photo stream which was not on my palmtop iPhoto app sudeenly showed up.
    i Am totally confused

  • FIXED (for me at least): iPhone 3gs will not sync with Gateway NV79

    I’ve spent months trying to fix this miserable problem with getting my iPhone 3gs to sync with my new Gateway NV79. Gateway will not help. Their technical support is genuinely worthless. Microsoft blames Apple and Apple blames Gateway.
    My old iPod Nano syncs to my Gateway NV79 without a problem. I’ve tried all of the proposed fixes but other posters with no success.
    But I do believe I’ve discovered a real fix (for me at least). Here’s my setup:
    • Gateway NV79 running Windows 7 64 bit edition
    • iTunes 10
    • iPhone 3gs running OS 4.02
    The USB ports needs tweaking to get the iPhone 3gs to sync to the Gateway NV79. Follow these steps without your iPhone 3gs connected to the Gateway NV79:
    Step 1: Go to Control Panel
    1. Open Control Panel
    2. Click Hardware & Sound
    3. Click Power Options
    4. Make sure Balanced is selected and click Change Plan Settings
    5. Click Change advanced power settings
    6. Expand USB Settings
    7. Expand USB selective suspend setting
    8. Change On Battery setting to Disabled.
    9. Change Plugged in setting to Disabled
    10. Click OK
    Step 2: Go to Windows Explorer
    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. Right-Click Computer (not your computer name)
    3. Click Properties
    4. Click Device Manager
    5. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    6. Right-click first Generic USB Hub
    7. Click Properties
    8. Click Power Management
    9. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    10. Click OK
    11. Right-click second Generic USB Hub
    12. Click Properties
    13. Click Power Management
    14. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    15. Click OK
    16. Restart your computer
    After your computer restarts, login and connect your iPhone.
    You must complete both steps. Step 1 is required for Step 2 to stick.
    There are a few things that may happen. iTunes may start syncing immediately and fail with an error. Don’t worry. If the sync fails the first time, restart the computer with the iPhone still connected. Now, iTunes will either take you to setup screen to connect your iPhone or the sync may restart. In my case, the setup screen came up and I DID NOT CHOOSE TO RESTORE. Pick the first option to add your iPhone. The sync will restart and may or may not finish. Don’t worry, if the sync fails, restart your computer again with the iPhone still connected and this time the sync will work.
    Here’s the problem: the iPhone 3gs will not sync with the power management enabled for the USB ports on the Gateway NV79.
    Good luck.

    If you cannot update your computer, you will not be able to sync your phone. The requirements are:
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access

  • Iphone 4 will not sync with itunes on Windows 7 64 bit

  • My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my phone. I have updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro with iOS 10.8.2. Anyone have any suggestions? It was connecting with no problems prior to updating my two computers.

    My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

  • My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

    my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone.  However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.
