IPhone 4s will not back up after upgrading to IOS 8.1

My phone is supposed to be backing up automatically, but I keep receiving a message saying that I have not backed up in over 4 weeks.
Each time I try backing up manually, the screen pops up asking for my ICloud ID and password, I enter that, then it looks like it starting the backup, but then the screen pops back up asking me to sign in again.  It seems to be in a virtual loop that will not allow my phone to complete the backup.

Hello Brenden,
I followed all the troubleshooting tips.  Everything is set properly, so my phone should be backing up automatically, but is not.
When I try to back up manually, it will start, then a pop up asks for my ICloud Password (again! which it already did), I enter the password and it returns me back to the screen that gives me the option to back up manually.  The message at the bottom say "Last Backup could not be completed".
I keep going through the same motions over and over and over again with no results.
I am in a perpetual loop with this and the phone will not back up, either automatically or manually.
-My device is connected to a power source (the computer)
-The device is connected to the internet (my home Wi-Fi)
-The device screen is locked
Is there a way to go back and down load IS 06?  I did not have these problems until I upgraded to IOS 8.0, then 8.1.
I thought the bugs were FIXED!
As you can tell, I am quite frustrated with this problem and am concerned that I am unable to back up my phone.
Can someone please help!
Thank you,
Cweiss2

  • HT1688 My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2

    My iphone 5 does not ring anymore after upgrading to ios 7.0.2.  It did not happen right away, but maybe 2 weeks ago.  I tried turning the "do not disturb" on and add allow everyone to call as well as turning it off but it only vibrates when calls come in.  I also turned my phone off and it still only vibrates when calls and messages come in.

    I found another feed and said there is a silent button next to volume bar.  That was the problem.

    Hi rajap,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you noticed your iPhone will not respond after updating the software. In this situation, I suggest following the steps in the attached article. Steps 5 and 6 may be most relevant to you in your situation but I would still start with number 1 and work down.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Have a great day,
    -Joe

  • My iPad2 will not play videos after I upgraded to IOS 5.1.1.  How can I fix it?at?, My iPad2 will not play videos afteri upgraded to IOS 5.1.1.  How cani ix that?

    I have an ipad2.  Ever since I upgraded to the IOS 5.5.1 I am having problems playing videos on Netflix or YouTube.  I do to have this problem on my laptop, so it isn't in my wireless router.  I have cleaned out the cache on the iPad and that didn't help. I've restarted it too. 
    I hope someone has an idea how to fix it.  I'm lost without it now.
    Thanks.

    Do the videos start to play and quit? Do they not start at all?
    Close all apps and restart the iPad and then try YouTube or Netflix again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can also try resetting/rebooting the iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Even if your the internet is OK with other applications doesn't mean that there isn't an issue with the way that the iPad is connecting to NetFlix and YouTube. You can always try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • Iphone 3gs does not sync music after upgrading to IOS 5

    I upgraded my Iphone 3GS to IOS 5.  This introduces Icloud. Since doing so, I have not been able to sync my music.  I get the error message "unable to sync - not enough free space (additional 8.4 GB required).  This is the same size as the music I want to load to my phone, which was fine before the upgrade.  Any help gladly received.  Thanks

  • Iphone 4 will not back up on windows 7?

    My iphone 4 will not back up to my Windows 7 laptop. It either hangs up infinitely or says it cannot write to the disk. This happened on the previous version of itunes, and after deleting and reinstalling itunes it finally starting working again. After loading the most recent v of itunes it started again.  I have reinstalled itunes several times with no change.
    I am running it as an administrator and allowing it to write to the folder. I cannot update from the last ios 4.x version because it never gets past the backup step.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    * Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    * Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    * Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see them. Navigate to that backup folder & delete the entire contents. Try again after doing so.

  • Iphone 4s will not back up

    My iphone 4s will not back up to icloud.
    Storage informs me I have 4.7 GB free from 5.0 GB.
    I see nothing at icloud on ANYTHING.
    I have just gone through the menus on the phone and hit backup which started.
    Informed it would take about 40 mins, but stopped after about ten
    Anybody had same problem, and how was it fixed please.
    Would be most greatful
    Thanks

    Thanks for that.
    Thought it was ment to be an automatic thing.
    Just press "Back-up Phone" and off it went up to icloud.
    No such luck.
    Marketing people just tell you any old rubbish.
    It would be ok if they said "You have to do lots more to get it to work", but they don't.
    Bit like Microsoft
    Settings on icloud on my Mac will not set photos to back up, or import to iphoto on the Mac
    Seems I need to update iphoto at £10.99. More expense.
    If I did not have a Mac, would it back up the photos to icloud I wonder.
    Looks like I might buy Photoshop, forget about icloud, and use Google Drive or Drop Box instead.
    Thanks for your help

  • Iphone 4s will not power on after ios 6.1 install

    iphone 4s will not power on after ios 6.1 install. Help

    This did not help the problem. History of problems that started 3 days ago before 6.1 update:
    Problems started with the phone dropping a call I was on. Then the screen had lines across it, then screen turned solid green.
    Powered off the iphone.
    Happened again 4 hours later. Dropped call then garbed screen. Powered off then back on all seemed okay.
    Applyed 6.1 yesterday in the morning. Phoned died completely last night. Plugged in over night and it came back up this morning.
    Phone is still within  1 year warranty. Should I just have Apple replace the phone (Warranty runs out in 2 weeks)

  • My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer?

    My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer? I have enough space on my hard drive, I have the new version of itunes and iphone software, and have tried restarting my computer several times. I ran apple diagnostics which found no issues! I'm not sure how to resolve this issue, please help me.

    I kept getting this last week. Really annoying. I found this solution:
    Remove (delete) ALL photos and videos from your iphone. Reboot it. Connect to your pc again.
    This worked for me, however I've since taken some more pics and it doesn't sync again, so I'm not sure what permanent solution there is, although I've read lots of technical ones by googling it.

    Iphone 5 will not back up to iTunes. I have never had this issue before but it has been consistent for the last two months.

  • HT4623 iPhone 4 will not back up?

    My iPhone 4 will not back up? I keep getting an error message saying back up session failed. I have tried deactivating the firewall, i have tried changing the time zone on my computer. I have uninstalled and re installed itunes. What do i do now????

    Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer.  As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum.  Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
    Thanks, and best of luck to you.
