Iphone 6 backup to iCloud not working

Initially I had the issue where my phone was restoring from iCloud for 2 weeks and never finished. I was unable to do the upgrade to 8.1 because of this, so I canceled the restore and tried to do a backup to iCloud. I let it run (Estimating time remaining...) for a long time, like 30 minutes or something. Each time I tried this it would error off saying it couldn't finish the operation. One time it said it was going to take 2 days to complete the backup, but then it errors off as just mentioned. So I did a google search for "iPhone 6 backup to iCloud not working" and found a link to the forums for the incessant restore issue, it said to do a manual backup through iTunes, then immediately do a restore, then do the upgrade to 8.1.
However, I still have the issue of the backup taking forever.
Anyone encounter this issue and find a fix?
Many thanks.

I suggest you contact Apple Support.

  • IPhone backup with iCloud not found

    I backed up my iPhone with iCloud, and when I got a new phone, it couldn't find the backup when I logged into iCloud.  How can I find my backup?

    Your new phone has to be running the same version of iOS or higher than the version on your old phone in order to restore the backup.  If it is running an earlier version or iOS you won't see the backup.  If that's the case you will have to update your phone before you can use the backup.
    Also, not sure if you're aware of this, but you can only access your iCloud backup when you first set up the phone.  If it's already set up, you'll have to go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go back through the setup process, and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • IPhone 4 and iCloud not working - it was though !

    My iPhone 4 has stopped syncing with my Outlook data (and vice versa).  iCloud is running on PC ok as I also have an iPad which updates almost instantly.
    I have turned the phone off/ performed a restore/done a full reset & erase & restore/a full reset & erase and no restore but all do not get iCloud working on the phone.  If I delete the iCloud account from the phone, I just getting the spinning wheel and have to force close the settings app.  If I try and turn off a catagory, say contacts, again, spinning wheel.  I've even tried a different iCloud account but the same thing happens.
    Anyone else encountered this ?  I'm on latest IOS

    Not sure I'm being of any help here but my iPhone 4 runs okay with iPhoto.. but by girlfriends OS4 iPhone 3GS has started to show the blank squares in iPhoto on 90% of her photos / videos since installing the software.
    Also, on a couple of videos she recorded recently the sound just cuts out half way through when playing back on the phone. If skipping through the video the sound comes back.. then goes away again.
    Apple, you have made a big booboo in the OS4 update ain't cha?!

  • HT1766 I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!!  HELP!  iCloud backup/restore did not work

    I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!!  HELP!  iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.

    If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
    I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

  • Iphone 4 icloud not working

    icloud not working on my iphone 4, the moblie me app is still on phone, so i dont thank that icloud is working

    If you migrated your MobileMe account to iCloud you can continue to use your MobileMe Apple ID/login for iCloud.  Also, I assume by "MobileMe app" you are referring to iDisk.  If so, you can continue to use iDisk, and the iDisk app through June 30th.  If you are having trouble getting iCloud to work, try deleting the account from your phone and adding it back.

  • IPhone 4 Reminders is not working

    iPhone 4 Reminders is not working - I can't access my reminders and just get new list screen which does not respond. Have switched phone off and on again, but this does not solve it.

    Hi
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings     
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                               
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.            
    Cheers,

  • IPhone 4 touch screen not working

    iPhone 4 touch screen not working properly. Sometimes it activates icon itself. After updating to iOS 6.12, it stop working totally.

    Good Morning S.GOPINADHAN,
    I understand your iPhone screen is black and you are not able to turn it on.  The article below will explain what to do when your iPhone is not responsive.  I'll also include instructions on how to back up your iPhone when you are able to turn it on.

  • I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
    This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

  • Why is my iCloud not working.

    Why is my iCloud not working.when I try and update apps,it doesn't load.i recently got an iphone5 a few days ago,so I transferred everything from my old iPhone to my new one.please,someone help

    Your question is a bit confusing. iCloud doesn't have anything to do with updating your apps. What is not working with your iCloud? What are you trying to do? What happens when you try? What error messages are you getting?
    How are you attempting to update your apps? What happens when you try? What error messages are you getting?
    Best of luck.

  • My iPhone alarm clock is not working. Anyone else?

    My iPhone alarm clock is not working. I have the latest software: 6.2.1. I set my alarm at 11:30 pm to go off at 12:30 am and 3:30 am, neither went off. I actually wok up right before 3:30, open up the clock app to see if my alarm was on and both the alarms were set to off. I have been having trouble with alarms similarly the last week or so.

    Hi Homer,
    I would suggest a re-install of the iPhone to fix this issue.
    Make sure to do a full backup of the iPhone before you do this otherwise you may lose some of your data

  • My iphone 3g keypad is not working. Letter "R" and numbers 7,8,9 not working.

    basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Have these been attempted?
    If you've tried ALL these steps, including setting up as a new device (not from backup), and you still have problems, then you have a hardware failure and will need to bring your phone into Apple for replacement.

  • My iphone 5s, touchscreen is not working.

    My iphone 5s, touchscreen is not working.
    I have tried to reboot, holding home button and on/off. This did not work.
    What must I do, I can not access the phone. Alarm is going, I can snooze it with on/off button. (Cant do this every 9 minutes!!!!)

    Hi,
    This fixed the phone.
    Turned phone off, holding on/off button and home button till after apple logo, when it goes black again.
    Logged onto iCloud, remove device from Find my iPhone.
    Updated ITunes
    Plugged phone into computer
    Held on/off button and home button till after apple logo, until it went black, then only held home button
    Phone goes into recovery mode.
    ITunes registers phone as asks if you would like to restore phone to factory settings.
    Once restore down, phone worked.
    Lost everything other than contacts which were backed up to iCloud. (Lesson learnt - back up device.)
    Thank you for your assistance yesterday.

  • TS2800 how can I see what is going to be included in the next iphone backup to icloud?

    How can I see what is going to be included in the next iphone backup to icloud?

    The "playhead indicator" is a twofold tool. Click on the "clock" icon and it switches to Project Length:
    You can click and drag on the time clock to increase the project length if you need to see what's going on beyond your Play Range.
    The image below is an overview of parts. The Timeline view is opened to reveal layer timing.
    The "mini timeline" (the bar under the canvas above the clock) shows the entire project length. Usually that's the same length as the default Play Range. Use the play head clock to add more time if you need to reveal longer media "tails". You will not change the Play Range by doing so (you'll have to do that "manually"). You can even Share/Export your project with respect to Play Range as opposed to Project Length (there's a drop down option for that upon export.)
    If you're creating a template, FCPX only "sees" the play range.
    It's not a cool one-click option... it's just the way it is in Motion.

  • Iphone 4 Alerts Tones Not Working / Ringer Is WORKING KINDLY REPLY ME

    HI , PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT I AM GETTING PLEASE HELP
    MY ISSUE IS IPHONE 4 ALERTS TONES NOT WORKING AND CALL RINGER IS WORKING.. PLEASE HELP ME!

    If the iPhone came from the US then it is locked to AT&T. To unlock an iPhone the original carrier is the only one who can unlock the iPhone and AT&T will not unlock iPhones. So there is not official way to unlock the iPhone 4.
    At this point there is no way to hack the iPhone 4 running 4.2.1 to unlock it either so the phone and messaging apps will never work. You basically have an iPod touch.
