My iCloud backup function failed since 02/28/2015.

My iCloud backup function failed since 2/28 till now?

Try signing in and out of iCloud and backup manually.  This might solve the problem.

  • I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update

    I'm having issues with iCloud backup with comcast since iO6 update.  I'm able to back via work wifi but not at home.  Any ideas?

    Hi BmoreHunter.
         As far as using the bridge mode method you'd need to see what CLJDOhas to say, as that user is the only one that I see in this thread who used this method. The method that worked for me is different. I went out and bought a new modem. This made the most sense to me since the firmware in the unit that comcast gave me had issues and I am paying to rent the thing, I figured that I'll save some money if I just buy my own.
         I ended up purchasing a motorola SURFboard eXtreme (model SB6121) for $70 (happened to be on sale) from my local Target. For another $7 I was able to secure a 2yr warranty against failure, which was my only hesitation in buying vs renting.
         This modem should work just fine for you since you are a comcast customer. If you decide to go with a different modem, the important thing is to make sure that you purchase a modem that is compatible with the technology that your ISP (in this case comcast) uses. Also DOCSIS 3.0 is the "flavor" of cable modem you want as it will give you better performace than DOCSIS 2.0 devices (such as an older Motorola SURFboard).
         Once you buy the modem you will have to call comcast and have them add the modem to your account. They'll ask for the MAC address of the modem, then send a re-set signal to it, so make sure you are home when you call and can connect/disconnect the modem as needed. After your modem is added to your account and up and running you can then connect your new AirPort Express to the modem (via ethernet cable) and you should be all set!

  • My icloud backup keeps failing

    My icloud backup keeps failing!!why?!?HELP!! :)

    I have enough storage, I am plugged in and I have a wifi connection. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

  • Ios 6 software bug causes icloud backup to fail

    When I try to backup my ipad 2 and iphone 5 either manually or automatically when plugged and connected to wifi it says last back up could not be completed. I know it's a software bug because the icloud backup was working before I updated to ios 6 and now that I've updated to ios 6 it fails to backup on icloud plus I have 15GB icloud storage and it still won't back up. Also it's not a corrupted app because i turned all apps off the backup still doesnt work. Has anyone else experienced this after updating to ios 6.

    If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
    This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

  • Icloud backups not happening since updating to OS 6

    Neither my iphone4 s or my ipad2 have backed up to icloud (when plugged and on wifi) since Oct 4.  I think it's because of OS 6, because my ipod, which is still os5 backs up.
    Anyone else dealing with this?

    I don't know if this has been solved yet, but I have an update to my original reply.
    I too am having the same issue. I took my phone to work and hooked it up to the wi-fi and hit backup just to see if it would work. and guess what... it worked! So its apparently not a problem with iOS 6...
    Still won't work at home, though it works for my sister and dad..
    Has anyone figured anything out?

  • ICloud backups failing due to Safari bookmarks DB being locked

    iCloud backups are failing to complete on my iPhone 4 (CDMA), iOS 5.0.1.  I successfully completed a backup on November 9, but haven't been able to get a backup to complete since then.  When I manually invoke the "Back Up Now" function, it starts backing up, then says "There was a problem completing the backup.  Please try again later."
    Looking in the console logs (below), it appears the problem is that the Safari bookmarks DB is locked (corrupted?).  Indeed, I am unable to add additional bookmarks in Safari, I get the message: "Bookmarks are being synced.  Please add the bookmark once syncing has completed."
    I've tried restarting the iPhone to no avail; I've also looked at Apple's iCloud backup troubleshooting doc, and none of the cases there seemed to match this problem.
    Any suggestions ar every much appreciated!
    Here is what the iPhone console says:

    Had same problem, the solution lies with having your original apple ID associated email address "verified".
    I may not have all the steps down correctly, but open your apple ID account manager and go to the your listing for email and "verify" the email address.  This association then seems to allow the use of your email address when you are trying to set up this new apple ID that they are requiring for iCloud.
    Be aware that this new apple ID has a far reach and apparently cannot be undone, that is you can't change the name, characters, numbers or whatever you have for an email address that becomes your apple ID---even if you can no longer use the email address to receive email.
    Lots of luck.
    I have been trying to get the iCloud features to work for over a week now, including a visit to a genius bar, and still not fully functioning.

  • ICloud Backup cannot begin, another device currently restoring...

    When I bought my iPhone 4S on launch day, everything went really well with my iCloud backing up my info/data/contacts, however, I am having trouble with it now. I turned off "iCloud Backup", but have since decided to turn it back on in order to use it again, but I am recieving this message when I attempt to "Back Up Now":
    "iCloud Backup cannot begin because another device is currently restoring from this backup. Try again later."
    I have waited over night and have tried again with no luck. I have also checked "Back up to iCloud" in iTunes, and that hasn't worked either. I've also tried deleting the backup through my iPhone AND through my Mac, but iCloud will not delete it.
    If anyone can help me figure out what is going on, or have experienced this same problem, please let me know what I can do!
    Thanks!
    (I've also done multiple hard resets, restored the entire iPhone, and have tried this while connected to WIFI and through a power source; Backing up works on my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4, just not my 4S)

    It happened to me too, It probably happend because your device was nacking itself up and was stopped in the middle of the process for some reason, So apple's server wasnt updated of the change and a flag still marks that the backup is being used.
    Try to change something in the backup, either create a new backup or change the existing one (Remove some things from it to change it) and save it
    it will inform the server that you have finished using the backup, and will enable you to restore from it.

  • ICloud backup iOS 8.1 - failing to backup

    Since updating iOS to 8.1 yesterday, my iPhone 6 and my iPad retina mini are both failing to make iCloud backups. Either manually or automatically when powered and idle. I have loads of space on iCloud so that is not the issue. Tried deleting existing iCloud backups, tried logging in and out of iCloud account, restarting devices etc. Still not working 12 hours later. Anyone else?

    There is a bug with 8.1 and I think I know what it is. Something in iOS 8.1 is double counting your space each time you try to backup, including the backup that hasn't yet occurred. Either that, or it is a bug/ploy from Apple to make a lot of people buy storage upgrades so we can backup.
    For example, I have two devices backed up using 4.5GB of space, an iPad at 1.2GB and an iPhone 6 at 3.3GB. It said the size of my next backup for my iPhone6 is 3.3GB (no bigger than my prior backup). It says in Settings/iCloud/Manage Storage that I need an additional 2.8GB of space to do my backup, that I only have 458MB of space and is offering for me to upgrade my storage plan. What that means is that my next backup is not taking into account that most of the data in the prior backups is the same data.
    So here's the additional bug - as a workaround I tried deleting my last backup and turning off iCloud backups on my iPhone. I then turned back on my iCloud backup again and it shows my current backup as 3.3GB (but not completed), and says I need an additional 2.8GB in order for it to backup and to upgrade my plan. It's counting my backup that I haven't been able to complete as used storage and still shows I only have 458MB available. This all started with iOS 8.1 after i installed it last night and my backups just started failing.
    Based on these calculations, on iOS 8.1 if you have only one device (total) with more than 2.5GB backing up, you will never be able to use the 5GB free storage. You have to have enough space for your prior backup (including the one you're trying to do), and an entirely new backup on top of that. The extra fun bug is that it's even counting your current incomplete backup as already used iCloud space.

  • ICloud backup takes forever and failed systematically on iPad 2 OS 5

    Hello
    iCloud backup hasn't work on my iPad 2 OS 5 since early January. It doesn't seem to try to backup automatically,mormif it does it probably fails, and when I launch the backup manually it starts correctly and estimates backup time will be 3 hours. But even if my iPad is connected to WiFi, locked and plugged in during 8 hours or more, the backup still seems to be in progress but when the bar is almost full like if it was about to end the backup it suddenly stops and I got the message Backup Failed..it's very frustrating..
    I've setup correctly my iPad and iTunes to backup with iCloud, the estimated storage volume is 3 GB, is it the reason why it fails?
    Back up works on my iPhone 4 but if I can't back up and sync with iPad it's not cool...
    Thanks for your help!
    Fred

    Hi,
    I had the exact same problem. Ipad2, IOS5, 15GB on iCloud, very slow backup which fails after a long time, last backup december 1st. The same with manual backup starts.
    What I did: made the backup content as small as possible. I had several GBs of books and magazine in FileApp, iBooks and apps like these. I chose not to be backed up these. The backup size was much more smaller than the remaining space on my iCloud account. I didn't sart the backup manually, instead I waited for the automatic backup. Checked after 3 hours and the backup was finally made succesfully.
    One more thing, it's important for automatic backup to start to load the battery, lock the screen (and be on wifi).
    I suspect that this issue is connected to too big backup size BEFORE buying the 10+ GBs. The iCloud account or the iPad itself doesn't recognize all the space you have in iCloud if you - at some point in the past - tried to upload too much data.

  • IPod: "iCloud backup failed"

    I can't sinc my iPod touch 4th generation to the iCloud! I have been reading other forums and have tried all of the tricks, but none of them seem to work for me. I am considering taking it to the Apple Store soon, but if I can get an answer soon, I would really appreciate it.
    - If you are having the same problem, (when you manually tap"back up" in the settings, it sits there for a while then after a few minutes, it says something like: "iPod backup failed") please respond ASAP...

    Hi Barbara,
    I just had the same issue.
    resolution:
    get to your network settings - disable wifi, then enable 3G and cellular connection
    Now get back to icloud backup menu and try to enable. of course it wont work. back again to network settings switch wifi back on, and got to icloud again. This time it will allow you to set your backup
    cheers :-)

  • HT4859 After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.2, the iCloud backups fails

    After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.2, the iCloud backups fails. It appears it is trying to backup the entire 3.1 GB not just new data, thereby exceeding the 5.0Gb limit. I have checked the phone contents on my iMac and there is very little new data so the backup should be successful. I have tried rebooting the phone, which did not help. Phone is not jailbroken. Any suggestions? Thanks....

    I have a similar problem, but after following your suggestion of deleting my iphone backup and then turning backup back on again, I needed to plug my phone into my computer to sync the backup.  I re-tried to do an icloud backup and it again told me that  "the last backup could not be completed"... since I had deleted the backup, it says the "Last backup:  never".  Ugh. I reconnected my iPhone 4S to my computer and iTunes so I could sync my phone and do a backup... it's still "waiting for sync to start"...
    For your iCloud backup, 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.
    If you turned iCloud backup off and try to sync to create a backup on your computer and got a "waiting for sync to start" error, it may be caused by a corrupt backup on your computer.  You could try deleting your last backup by opeing iTunes and going to Preferences>Devices, clicking on your last backup and clicking Delete Backup.  Then try again.

    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.

    The iCloud backup does not include non-Tunes purchased music and photos that were synced to the iPod. The iCloud backup does not also included a few other things included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does also not included non-iTunes purchases and photos synced to the iPod.
    free programs like iFunBox with copy non-iTunes purchased music and some other things from iPod to computer.  A paid program like TouchCopy is needed to copy photos synced to the iPod to a computer.

  • Can't get iCloud to back up on IPhone 5. Have 7.1 GB available. Backup keeps failing while I am plugged in and connected to wifi

    Can't get iCloud to back up on IPhone 5. Have 7.1 GB available. Backup keeps failing while I am plugged in and connected to wifi. It will show backing up now and estimated time 20 plus hours and always ends up failing after a couple hours

    You need at least 50 MB of free space in order to back up to iCloud.  Rather than backing up, have you tried importing the photos to your computer and deleting them from the camera roll as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083?
