My iCloud is apparently full and won't back up any more?

Hasn't backed up in 6 weeks. I don't think I have too many apps or contacts, not even that many pictures.  What can I delete to make more room?

Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backups > Manage Storage > Tap on 'This iPhone'
You can see on this screen what is backing up and how much space it takes up in your backup.
Form here you can decide what you might want to delete to make more room, or turn off form backing up.
You can also view tons of information in Settings > General > Usage.

  • TS4009 The error that my icloud account is full and need more storage stays on the screen of my Ipad2. It won't allow me to get more, turn it off or do anything on it. Help!!

    The error that my icloud account is full and need more storage stays on the screen of my Ipad2. It won't allow me to get more, turn it off or do anything on it. Help!!

    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears
    Then do some house cleaning in iCloud (or purchase more storage)
    Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select a device if more that one > Show All Apps and turn off some apps that you don't need or care to be backed up.
    Also, connect to iTunes and empty your Camera Roll onto your computer. Photos & videos tend to eat up a lot of space.

  • TS4009 My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff.  Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not?  I have done all I can but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud.

    My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff.  Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not?  I'm just not sure what I really should back up each night and what doesn't really matter.  I know my photo's should back up, but other than that, I'm not really sure.
    I have taken some pics off and videos and appt, but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud.  I'm starting to wonder if its a glitch with my personal phone.  Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    Only you can decide what's critical to back up.  One option is to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then either delete them from your phone or exclude the camera roll from your backup in settings.
    You might try going 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), then look at the size of your next backup.  If it doesn't go down significantly, something else is wrong.

  • HT201238 My account was not automatically upgraded to an new annual plan, I got it one year ago and I got a message saying my Icloud storage was full and I that I only had 5gb free. What can I do ?

    Thanks Winston, thats the first thing I wanted to do but I dont see any Annual Plan (like I had), only monthly plans, and they said that as I got a Storage Plan before September 2014 I would be "automatically" updgraded to a new annual plan with reduced pricing. Dont know how I can get it now.

  • My iPad is frozen with a message on the screen that says "iCloud backup is full" and it gives me the option of cancel or settings but will not go to either one or allow me to exit the message

    My iPad is frozen with a message on the screen that says "iCloud backup is full" and it gives me the option of cancel or settings but will not go to either one or allow me to exit the message. How can I restart? It will not let me turn off or doesn't help to plug into computer

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.
    Data will not be affected.

  • ICloud keeps popping up and won't accept my AppleID password

    iCloud keeps popping up and won't accept my AppleID password

    Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac then go back and sign back in.  Note: this only removes the iCloud data from your Mac but not from iCloud.  Your data will reappare on your Mac when you sign back in, after a brief delay as it redownloads.

  • 1TB Time Capsule Constantly Spinning and won't back up

    I have a 1TB Time Capusle and while the computer is sleeping, the time capusle is clicking away doing something and always VERY warm.
    Also, the iMac it's connected to has a 1TB drive and I'm only using 82GB.  The backup drive is full for some reason and won't back up.  I gives me a warning and then takes me to the settings where it says it'll delete the oldest back up once full, but it's not doing that...
    What's wrong here?  Is this TC corrupt?
    How can I fix it?  I'm currently doing a Verify and Repair of the TC in Disk Utility.  I'll report back in a couple hours when it's done, but if anyone has any other suggestions, let me know...
    Happy Holidays...

    Time Machine will, eventually, fill all the empty space available to it.  If you've had it for quite a while, it may be normal.
    But there are some things that will cause extra-large backups.  See #D4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for some common culprits and ways to figure out just what's going on.

    There's different handling, and different warnings, depending on what version of OSX you're on.  See #C4 in the same link.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. Help.

    My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • TS1424 My film I rented from iTunes has frozen half way through downloading and won't finish downloading, any ideas?

    My film I rented from iTunes has frozen half way through downloading and won't finish downloading, any ideas?

    TRy to close itunes by double tapping the home button then slide up all of the open apps and try again.
    another option is to turn off your ipad, logout from your itunes account and try again downloading the movie. If it still gives you error, call apple support and ask for itunes agent to see if there is something wrong with the movie you are trying to download

  • Can anyone explain to me why sometimes my ipad2 locks up and won't respond to any input from the keyboard.

    My iPad 2 locks up sometimes and won't respond to any input from the keyboard. Have to reboot in order to fix the problem.

    You have 3 choices:
    1. Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    2. Restore from backup using iTunes
    3. Restore as new without the backup
