My 4s will not back up to the cloud

I am unable to back up my 4s to the Cloud. The storage on my phone is full, but the iCloud storage 13.2 GB of available storage. My phone has not back up is 6 weeks and I would like to be sure to do so before purchasing a new phone. When I choose 'Back Up Now' it still will not work. I am currently using version 7.1.2.
How can I back up my phone?

Saying that you have "difficulties" syncing your phone to laptop doesn't help us at all. What are these difficulties?
You also mention that you made a backup to icloud. Such backups do not include music. You must sync music via itunes to get them on the device, unless you also subscribe to itunes match (but you didn't mention this).

My iPad will not back up on the cloud or on my PC or on my brand new iMac

IS there any fix for an iPad 2 that will not back up. I have tried the cloud back up and on the pc I originally paired with the iPad. I just bought a new iMac and it will not sync on it even though I went I went through the authorizing process. As a result of not backing up I cannot upgrade to IOS 6

When trying to sync with iMac I got the following: attempting to copy to disk IMacintosh HD failed. Unknown error (oXe8004002)
When trying to back up on the cloud, the back up time bar went to about 3/4 of the way to finishing and stopped. The message said that it could not be backed up.
When I previously tried to download IOS 6 using the PC, I had originally synced with the iPad, it looked like it loaded the IOS6, but crashed during the back up phase.
When I go to iCloud.com, it asked me to set up the devise, but when I go to settings it shows my account number and the list of mail, calendar, etc. that is synced

You should be able to copy it from your iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and if it's compatible with your iPad you can then sync it to it

What does it mean on itunes when it says a movie will not be available on the cloud after purchase?

what does it mean on itunes when it says a movie will not be available on the cloud after purchase?

It means that you get only one download of the movie per purchase, so once it's downloaded, you'd be wise to make a backup. Otherwise, if something happens to delete the movie, you'll have to buy it again.

I accidentally deleted an app that was not backed up to the cloud; can I get it back?

I accidentally deleted an app that was not backed up to the cloud; can I get it back? It wouldn't matter too much except that it was a paid app. A search of topics wasn't successful. I've learned a lot from these discussion support communities. Thank you for any help.

TS3988 icloud will not back up however the message stating i have not backed up in three week will not disappear or back up. Frozen in this state

Frozen in icloud back up. Will not follow through with back up. Plugged in, locked and connected. Holding power button does not work and screen will not allow and communication by touch...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try a hard shutdown (hold down the power and home screen buttons together until it shuts down)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

I have iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.2; for past 13 weeks I get message that my phone has not backed up on the cloud. Every night however the wifi is on, phone is connected to power, and screen is locked. Any idea why back-up is not happening ?

I have an iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.2;
for the past 13 weeks I get the message that "this phone has not been backed up on the cloud". However, every night it is connected to wifi, phone is connected to power, and the screen is locked. Any idea why back-up is not happening ? By the way, I do not have the "back up now" option in Setting / iCloud.. Help anyone ?

Try deleting an other icloud backup and see if it will automatically backup.

HT1689 When I turn on my ipad there is a window that said I have not backed up to the cloud in two weeks. It says that it has to be locked and conneted to wifi. I did those things an it will not update and I can't use it. Whats's wrong?

When I turn on my ipad I get a message that says that I have not backed to the cloud in ywo weeks. I connected it to the computer and it has access to wifi, byt it won't do anything and I can't use it.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. You can then do a backup

My new used ipad will not let me have the cloud

I bought a used iPad when I register for the cloud it says maximum amount of accounts. I want to use the cloud?

Apple puts a three iCloud account limit on every device. There is no way to get around this. from what I have read, this is done in order to limit the amount of free storage that any one user can have. You cannot do anything about this. The limit is tied to the device itself - not to the user ID on the device.
Buying used iOS devices can save some money, but you just never know what you can be getting into when you decide to purchase previously owned devices.

TS4108 I have recently done a software update on my phone, when complete I could not get the phone to work and the icon showed I had to connect to I-tunes. I then lost some recent data and photos. If they are backed up to the cloud how do I recover them?

When I completed my last software update directly on my phone I didn't realise I would then be prompted to do and I-tunes update that would wipe my phone. There seemed to be no turning back so I lost some data and photos. I'm assuming these will be backed up to the cloud but have no idea how to retrieve them.
The explanation given on the support community is a bit complicated and beyond my capabilities! Julie Malkin

If you have an iCloud backup, restore it to your phone as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. If you have a backup on your computer instead, restore it to your phone by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup.

HT4910 My iphone says it hasn't been backed up to the cloud since 4/23/12. I've tried again to back up with the phone connected to computer and still nothing. I cannot revert back to computer as it defaults to backing up to the cloud.

How can I back my iphone up to the cloud as it hasn't been backed up since 4/23/12. I've tried to revert back to the computer and it defaults back to the cloud. Syncing does not back up to the cloud.

TS3992 my ipad is locked up and i cannot open because a icloud message will not let me in the message is that i have not backed up in two weeks but when i tap on ok it does nothing!

my ipad will not let me open the screen to do anything due to an icloud back up message saying that the ipad has not been backed up in 2 weeks.
When i tap ok nothing happens i cannot slide to unlock the screen to connect to the internet or for anyother function.
Please any help will be welcomed

Hey herbthewelder,
I'd give these troubleshooting steps a try, they're for when your iPad appears frozen or unresponsive:
If the device is unresponsive or certain controls aren't working as expected, try restarting
To turn off the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off the device.
To turn on the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), try resetting
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds.

My iphone 4 will not back up calendar events to the icloud!

Since I installed Mountain Lion and subsequently activated iCloud for the first time I have been having a few issues with Calendars.
First issues was all the doubled up events which I eventually sorted out by turning the iCloud settings on and off and then merging for my Macbook and iPhone 4. Since then any Calendar events that I have entered on my Macbook have been backing up to the iCloud with no issues and have been pushing to my iPhone as well. Where the problem comes in is when I enter an event on my iPhone calendar it does not back up to the iCloud and therefore does not come up on my Macbook calendar either. Any help would be much appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.

TS3992 My iphone will not back up with iCloud. it keeps popping up a push notification telling me that i do not have enough storage available for the back up. but in my settings and storage it tells me i have 2.8 GB of 5 GB free space, help!?

My iphone 4s will not back up with iCloud. it tells me i dont have enough iCloud storage available, that i can manage my storage in my settings, when i click the settings it tells me i have 2.8 GB free space out of 5 GB. i dont know what to do about this problem. it hasnt been backed up in 3 weeks. and if i still have icloud space avaliable on my phone i do not need to purchase more. i have very few aps backed up on my icloud. i do not understand this help me please

Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much space is available on your phone (listed at the very top). The pop-up might be telling you that you don't have enough space on your phone to perform the backup, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud acount to store the backup.

I can connect my tc to the internet and back up my iMac, but it will not back up my mac book pro... ANY thoughts?

i can connect my tc to the internet and back up my iMac, but it will not back up my mac book pro... ANY thoughts?

When I go to connect my MBP, it says I have the wrong user name and/or password; however the names and password are the same on both computers.
The MBP connects smoothly to the internet, just not the TC.
Does this help?
There is no login name required to get internet unless you are running a vpn or pppoe client.
The wireless uses a security key.. but that is fixed in the wireless setup.. so no user login should be required at any time.
It sounds to me like you have the wrong setup.
Please do a screen shot and post it of the imac setup that works.. show us the airport network with its ip address and where you are putting in the login.
Please also do a snapshot of the TC and how it is setup.
What broadband do you have?
Is the TC a router or bridged?
