Posting to the Mac forums would probably be a good place to start.
You might also try renaming or moving the existing backups.

  • For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
    If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.  It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email. 
    The other area to look at is your text messages.  These are included in the backup.  If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup.  If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.

    If your phone is in recovery mode, all data are gone.  Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and restore.

    How can I dowload pictures from my iphone 4S?  When I connect the phone it says that there is no new pictures in there, but I can see them from the phone?

    You can only transfer photos from the Camera Roll. Photos in other albums had to come from your computer to begin with and should still be there.

  • Why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.

  • My iphone does not make back ups anymore. It says that my i-cloud password is wrong. When it clearly is not. What can i do about it?

    My phone doesn't make back -ups anymore. It says my password is wrong, when clearly that's not the case. Can any one tell me how i can solve this?

    You will need the correct email address and password. Try signing on to iCloud on web browser. https://www.icloud.com If that does not work then you do not have the correct credentials regardless of what you think.

  • Iphone 6 won't back up to cloud. Says

    Message comes up saying not enough storage. When I look at my storage under settings. It says I only have used 2.7G and have 2.3 of 5G left. Any suggestions on how to backup my phone to the cloud? Thanks.

    Hey 12b1,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your next backup may be larger than the 2.7 GB you have averrable. Check out the following resource for helpful tips on resolving this message:

    I can't back up because there's not enough storage available.
    If your iCloud storage reaches its maximum capacity, you can take any of these actions:
    - Upgrade your iCloud storage plan.
    - Create a smaller backup:
    - Select which apps to back up. Include only the apps that contain important data.
    - Delete unwanted photos and videos before backing up. You can also save the photos and videos to your computer before deleting them.
    - Turn off backup for Photo Library (or Camera Roll in iOS 7), especially if you already back up your photos to your computer. (My Photo Stream isn't a backup of your photos.)
    - Delete old messages from your device, especially messages with attachments. To delete a message, swipe over it, then tap Delete.
    - Delete items that you no longer need from iCloud. You can save them to your computer before deleting them. For example, you can:
    - Delete old backups, such as backups for devices you no longer have.
    - Delete app data or documents.
    - Delete old email messages, especially messages with attachments.
    Thanks,

  • HT4623 My phone says that there is an error that occured installing iOS6 and won't go any farther.

  • Unlocked iPhone 4S won't back up now. How do I fix that?

    My newly unlocked  iPhone 4s won't back up to my computer with iTunes now. It says it's disconnected. How do I remedy that and keep the unlock?
    I unlocked my phone following the instructions I was sent by Sprint, my carrier.
    It seems like unlocking an iPhone can cause a variety of problems (or so I gather from trying to research this)

    Also, I'm not clear if restoring it will help. I haven't tried it yet.

  • IPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 pr later for iTunes.

    iPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 or later  for iTunes.  Mac iOS version 10.5.8 and iTunes on Mac is 10.6.1. iPad and iPhone version is 6.0(10A403). When I check for updates on the Mac book pro it says software versions are up to date.
    When I check for iTunes version  10.6.3 it looks like it is for snow leopard operating system which I am not on. How to I get my devices to sync with computer. Everything worked prior to iOS 6 upgrade on remote devices.

    I'm having the same problem.
    iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
    I iust updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
    Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
    iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
    I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
    Do I really have to update my Mac OS to 10.6.8 in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
    Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
    thanks

  • After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times).  Any help?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

  • TS2529 I had backed-up my iPhone and when I try to restore it it says that the back-up is corrupt or the iPhone is not compatible. I had a bunch of pictures that I need from that restore. Is there any way to get them back? I did the back-up to my Macbook

    I had backed-up my iPhone and when I try to restore it it says that the back-up is corrupt or the iPhone is not compatible. I had a bunch of pictures that I need from that restore. Is there any way to get them back? I did the back-up to my Macbook

    If the backup is corrupt, there is nothing that can be done.
    For what reason did you choose to not copy the pictures off the device to a computer prior to attemping an update or whatever caused the need to restore?  iPhones are not intended as sole storage of any media.
