    Why dose my iCloud backup keep failing.

    Hello Bdale34,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot issues with backing up your iOS device to iCloud please follow the steps in the article linked to below.

  • 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?

  • Upgraded to Mavericks  and time machine backups keep failing.

    I upgraded to Mavericks a few days ago and now I find my time machine backups keep failing. I first tried turning off the power to the time machine then turning it on again and I managed to get one complete backup but that took over 20 hours to complete.
    The time machine  backup mode never seems to get beyond " preparing backup" then showing the message "backing up failed, disc already in use"
    The time machine backup worked fine before I upgraded, is there a way round this problem or will I have to go through reloading the time machine as if it were a new piece of equipment?
    My wife's iMac is still on mountain lion 10.8.5  and the backups on the same Time Machine work fine.
    Any help would be gratefully received

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem.
    MBP 2011 running 10.9 named "ebook"
    MacMini running 10.8.5 server with TM share
    everything works fine UNTIL for some reason the MBP is interrupted during a TM backup ...
    After that I get the disk already in use error !
    Rebooting the MBP wont help, but I narrowed the problem down ...
    Looking on the Mini server I noticed :
    - the TM backup user stays connected over AFP, even after several hours of inactivity and a couple of reboots of the MBP. Killing the AFP connection works, But problem stil continues !
    - looking on the MBP with "lsof | grep ebook" showed me that the SparseBundles were still in use by the AFP process ... Using the Server control panel and restarting AFP solved that ...
    After restarting the AFP process the remote TM Backup started to work again !
    A couple of days later, the same problem occurred again, fixed it by this work around ...
    I hope there will be a more permanent solotiun for this !

    Have you formatted the disk to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?

  • My Time Machine backup keeps failing.  I get a message the "Volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup".  Please advise.

    My Time Machine backup keeps failing.  I get a message the "Volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup".  Please advise.
    Thanks, Howard

    You can change the case sensitivity of the sparsebundle.. but I really doubt the error is real.
    See A8 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    The sparsebundle should have case sensitivity turned on.
    I cannot even fathom how it could have changed.
    Let me recommend before you start fooling around with the sparsebundle.
    Do a full network start.
    Power everything off.. start up modem.. wait 2min.. power up the TC.. wait 2min.. power up any other network gear like switches.. wait..
    Now power up the computer and try it.
    If the error is the same.. I would do a factory reset of the TC.. give it all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Then reset TM .. see A4 in the same reference as above.. and do a verify of the backups.. A5 above and try the backup again..
    No luck..
    Then erase the TC and start over.. it is sometimes necessary as TM does get itself in a knot.

  • My time machine backup keeps failing

    My Time Machine Backup keeps failing . Does anyone know what I should do

    Launch your console program (located in the utilities folder) and click on all messages in then left column then type "backupd" in the filter box in the upper right.  Read the messages,  it may give you a clue as to what's causing the problem. 

  • 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.

  • Backups keep failing

    Hi All
    I have been a TC user for some time and generally all has been well!
    Until recently.....
    The backups keep failing and I can't always connect to the disk.
    I have more than 1 Mac so its not the computers
    I had Apple replace the TC ( as was having problems with the N network.. )
    But still getting the problem.
    Its backs up lots of data but just before it gets to the end of the data transfer it zero's the amount of data and starts sending it again!!!
    Any ideas?
    Its all latest firmware and Mac OS so could be that...
    Anyone else seeing the problem?
    Alan

    I have an airport extreme with a hard drive hanging off the back via USB and am having somewhat similar problems.
    If I turn the HDD off and back on, it will reconnect to the HDD and I can start a backup or browse the disk but after a few minutes, I get the "Connection failed" error which states: The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
    It's strange because if I open AirPort Utility, the disk is still there and shows all the information about it and its three partitions (2 for time machines and one for network drive). It seems that this started with the latest version of the Airport Software but this is just speculation. Additionally, multiple restarts of the Airport Extreme doesn't resolve the issue.

  • Icloud backup keeps on failing.

    Hello im using an iphone6 which is updated to the latest version. my icloud has never been backup. It keeps on saying failed all the times. I cannot even turned it on in setting. Also keeps on telling me wrong password from time to time when in fact my password is correct. Please help me i need to back up my photos. Thanks

    Hey Poune14,
    I'm not sure why your password may intermittently be rejected, but for not being able to backup, please check out this article.

  • 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.

  • Backup keeps failing with error 0x07EF9

    Started an initial backup (manually) over a weekend then stopped it before it had completed. Selected the option to start next backup at where it was stopped. Since then, the backup job keeps failing with the error
    An unexpected error occurred during the operation. (0x07EF9)
    Any ideas how to fix this. I have cancelled the schedule then rescheduled it but still the same result.
    I have tried manually running it as well but it still fails.

    Hi John,
    Thanks for posting here!
    It looks like something is blocking Azure backup. Could be an Anti Virus software on the computer, which is locking the files the Azure Backup is trying to access while backup is initiated. OR if there is a 3rd party backup software which is running at the
    same time while azure backup is scheduled to backup files and folders. As a result the backup is failing with no luck.
    You might want to start looking at the logs and see if you find anything which is causing this problem. This might help narrow down the issue.

  • Time Machine backups keep failing

    My backups to external disk keep failing; it shows only 100 MB of available space. OK; Fine; so I tell it NOT to back up a number of extra folders; in an attempt to add extra space; but I can't change that 100 MB number, no matter what I do. Is there a fix. Should I repair the external disk?
    thanks

    Are you running Leopard or Snow Leopard? You've posted in the Snow Leopard forum, but your signature shows 10.5.3, and the handling is different.
    If you're on Leopard, go to +Time Machine Preferences > Options+ and remove the check from the +Warn before old backups are deleted+ box, and try again. Time Machine will delete your oldest backup(s) to make room for new ones, if it can.
    If it still fails, or you're actually on Snow Leopard, see #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • Time Capsule backup keeps failing

    MacBookPro connected via ethernet to 1TB TC. Had same problem as many other users: backups hanging or failing repeatedly. So I completely erased the TC and started again. Backup proceeded well for about 8GB (out of 70GB total backup) but then the backup hung again, and Console started displaying this crash message, repeated endlessly:
    =============
    Sep 28 07:57:41 MacBkPro mdworker[1248]: fcntl to turn on FCHECKOPENEVT failed!
    Sep 28 07:57:41: --- last message repeated 1 time ---

    ==============
    Now every time I start a new backup, when TimeMachine gets to around the 8GB mark it repeats precisely the same scenario.
    HELP!

    Nobody seems interested in this specific issue, but just in case anybody else is experiencing related problems, I offer a solution. To get an idea what's happening during backups, open "Console" (/Applications/Utilities/Console) and select the "system.log". Keep reading the last few lines as they scroll by.

    mdworker1248: fcntl to turn on FCHECKOPENEVT failed!
    ===
    "mdworker" is related to Spotlight indexing. I tried every other solution mentioned in this entire "TC" discussion area without success. I then turned OFF Spotlight indexing. (This took many hours of research to accomplish ... if you want to do it, just go get "OnyX" v1.9.9 - cost $0. Go to "Parameters" and select "Spotlight").
    Everything is now working fine - the computer has never been more responsive and Time Machine backups have never been faster. I don't use Spotlight and have no use for it. (And yes - I know what it does).

  • Time machine backup keeps failing on specific folders

    Hi,
    I have checked the forum and tried all relevenant suggestions, unfortunatly to no avail. I was wondering if any users would have any sparks of genius and point me in the right direction....
    I currently run time machine with an apple time capsulae and my Imac, it seems to run for most files and folders ok but will fail on the microsoft user data folder (with the NO copy error in console) as well as a few other random ones (such as the parralell virtual machine). As this stops my backups I have excluded them and it runs fine for now, although its not Ideal as my e-mails or virtual machine is not backuping up (these are the most important). i have check my friends mac and his time machine seems to backup completely and fine.
    Any ideas, as the reason I bought the time capsule is to have the best backups available.
    Thanks in advance.
