Manual and automatic icloud backup failure

Ipad says this morning, "2 weeks since icloud backup".    Unable to use ipad, turn it off, etc.  So, connected it to Itunes and clicked "restore" icloud backup.
Ipad was restored.
Turned off Ipad and closed Itunes.   
Following directions to automatically backup to icloud (plug in, connected to WiFi and locked ipad) - failed to backup
Tried to manually backup - "estimated time remaining......"        doesn't give me a time.
Let ipad sit there plugged in, says it's backing up, but after a few minutes..........says it was unable to backup.
Then I thought that maybe I don't have enough space in my Free icloud acct (1GB left), so I upgrraded to add another 10GB.
I do have it set to automatically backup to icloud.
Opend iTunes again on desktop computer.  I see the iPad in itunes.  Clicked on "back up now" (to icloud).  says looking for ipad.  Then it disappers.
Went back to ipad.  Says it's backing up, then a few seconds later, says unable to bakup.
In iTunes, turned OFF  the sync to itunes with Wifi;  Unplugged ipad from electrical outlet.  on iPad, I made sure the iCloud backup was turned ON.
Hit the "backup now" on iPad.  Says it's backing up..........Estimated time remaining....... - says no time.    Have waited about 3 minutes, and the blue bar showing status of backup is stuck.
What is going on here?

Same here, restored, completed manual backups which always end up with could not complete.
Slightly annoyed as worked fine before ios7 and my smart playlists are now useless.

    Hello,
    PC can be started both manually and automatically.
    Every PC has a start variant, when you right click on the start variant and go in the edit option, select the option direct scheduling. Then in change selection, check the box immediate and keep the periodic job at the bottom unchecked.
    Hit the tick, save on the other screen. And when back on the PC screen, from the menu option select the schedule option.
    This will run the chain manually.
    To run it automatically, follow the same procedure but instead of using immediate choose, data and time, provide date and time when you want to run, you can check periodic option if you want the chain to run daily, weekly or monthly.

  • I've got music on my 4s that I can't get out of my phone. I've deleted it from ITunes and tried to manually and automatically remove (sync) and it won't come out of my phone It's gone from ITunes

    Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
    You need to put the files into itunes.
    Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

  • I've deleted all my pictures, videos, AND disabled iCloud backup. Why does it still say my iCloud storage is almost full?

    My iPhone 4s says that I only have 44.5 MB of my 5 GB left on iCloud. To fix this, it said to delete some data (which I did, 206 photos and 11 videos to be exact), and it still says I only have 44.5 MB left. I disabled iCloud backup, made all my backups straight to my computer and synced my phone at least 10 times but nothing's changed. Help? I really don't want to buy more storage in order for my phone to say I'm runnung out of it again. I also have an iPad but I haven't added anything to it for 4 months. I only have 10 pictures and 10 apps because I hardly ever use it.

  • Report on Manual and Automatic release of Invoices - MRBR

    Hi Gurus,
    What is the difference between Manual Release and Automatic Release of Invoice in MRBR?
    How can i get the report of invoices release automatically and invoices released manually?
    Please revert asap.
    Thank You

    Hi,
    Rlease Manually
      The system creates the list of blocked invoices as soon as you choose Execute. On this list, you can release invoices or delete individual blocking reasons!
    Release Automatically
      If you select this field and choose Execute, the system deletes all blocking reasons that satisfy the criteria entered in the group box Selection of blocked invoices and that are no longer relevant. A list of the released invoices appears.
    That's it!
    Good day

  • Both my Wifi and my iCloud backup are greyed out.

    My wifi and iCloud backup are greyed out on my Iphone 4S and i can't switch them on. I have erased all content and then restored it but it doesn't work. What should I do to fix it?

    Use this article: support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Follow all of the troubleshooting steps.  You can even try restoring the device as new: support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
    If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
    If within warranty, it should be free.
    If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax.

  • I sycned my ipod touch 8GB to my computer and then the storage was full, I had 1.6GB before that and my iCloud backup is off, Any solutions?

    I wanted to charge my iPod Touch 4G on my computer and i forgot that it automatically syncs which i didn't want it to. I cancelled the syn and when i checked my ipod it said the storage was almost full. I had 1.6GB before and it went to 46 MB?!? I just don't get it can someone help?

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • My iPhone a few days ago started asking me the password whenevr I manually start the iCloud backup.

    What's the problem? It happens to someone else? Thank you all for your attention.

    settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - after it is done, you will have the option to restore from icloud - choose that.  NOTE: This will bring back data from the last time you backup at the Apple store.  So if you had any current data - you won't be able to get it back.

  • Apple Backup Software and Automatic iCal Backup

    Is there a way to use Backup Software from Apple to automatically backup my iCal calendars? Where is the iCal Calendars stored on my Hard Drive?
    Kevin

    The calendars are located in the folder Library/Calendars/ of the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon; any backup software which is backing up the whole home folder is backing the calendars up.

  • TS3992 Altho' my 4S iPhone is connected to Wi-fi & I have a correct Apple/icloud ID and password, I keep getting the message "icloud backup Failed. Turn off airplane mode, or use Wi-Fi to enable iCloud backup." Should I delete my account,setting up a new

    I cannot activate my iCloud backup of my 4S iPhone, even though I have definitely deactivated Airplane mode, and am connected to Wi-Fi.  I also have a correct Apple/iCloud ID and password. 
    Should I delete my iCloud account and set up a new one??
    Please give me some assistance with this problem!
    Sincerely, Brianrit

    To unfreeze it, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    To troubleshoot your problem with backing up to iCloud, this may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your iPad that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
    If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

  • The time on my iphone 5C is constantly changing, regardless of me setting the correct time manually or automatically, all iOS is up to date and phone is not damaged, any ideas?

    The time will stay correct for an hour or so, then jump backwards for no reason. I have tried setting the time manually and automatically and still get the same problem, and have tried with wifi on and off and it still does it. All my software is up to date and tried contacting EE who said to ask Apple. Phone is about 11 months old and have had no previous problems.

    Hi jennehbear,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Your time jumping backwards an hour sounds like an issue with the time zone. Take a look at this article to troubleshoot the issue.

  • The icloud backup window appeared on my ipad screen.  It won't go away and my ipad appears to have locked.

  • When I backup from my iPhone via iCloud backup and for some reason it only completes half, then will it save the half completed backup

    My iCloud backup only completes upto half steps(sometimes) so will it save the half completed backup in iCloud

    This needs to be addressed because you will not be able to use an incomplete backup.  Not being able to back up to iCloud can be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.  Then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
    If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
