iCloud does not back up iMac HD...seems crazy why not...Appl passing up money for backing-up Mac's? What is the best Cloud back-up solution and can a Cloud Clone be made?

I had a problem where it would not backup any more. Some of the diagnostics that they had me do were:
1. Repair Disk on the TM drive
2. Try backing up by clicking/holding the TM Icon and choose Backup Now
If failed:
3. Reboot Leopard
4. Try step 2 again
If Failed:
5. Disk Utility repair permissions
6. Try step 2 again
If Failed:
7. Log out and login as administrator
8. Launch Console from the Utilities Folder
9. In the System Log Search for "Time Machine"
10. Use that to help figure out problems and call Apple Care

if you can't get it to reboot then I would let it run out of power that result in a reboot if
the screen then don't comes on when you charged it again then I would say hardware defect
and repair needed

Curretly, there is an iCloud blackout. It started this morning around 2AM California time (Pacific), 5AM New York (Eastern). A lot of people have been having issues all day, including me. No iCloud services are online. Even Find My iPhone is down.

I see. If you go to Settings>General>About>Name, that is the current name of your phone. The backup bearing that name should be the more recent one, and therefore the one you want to keep. I would delete the other one (presumably the one set up by Best Buy under your real name, assuming you changed it later), then see if that gives you enough space to back up again.
If it still reporting insufficient storage, use this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 to try to determine what's taking up all your room. In them meantime, you can perform a manual backup on your computer so your have a current one while you're troubleshooting this. To do so, connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up.

Make sure your devices are also connected to external power or the wifi will disconnect after a few seconds. If they are and they still won't back up, it may 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.

HT6154 icloud will not back up iphone 4s???

Iphone will not back up in icloud

Give it some more time. If there is a lot of new data to be added to the backup, it may take longer than normal.
That's why I just leave the automatic backup on, and let it go over night.

My ipad icloud will not back up and it can not locate storage plan it says? Plz help

My icloud back up will not load or back up and it can not find usage or storage plan? All help welcome plz

Hey e.cliff,
Thanks for the question. When you sign out of your son’s iCloud account you will be prompted to keep or delete the data on your phone. After you elect to keep the data on your device, you can setup your own iCloud account and the data will be merged/uploaded to your new account:

My iCloud will not back up after I replaced my iPhone

Hi, I need help with my iCloud backup. I recently replaced my iPhone 4 with a brand new one, and now it is saying I dont have enough storage and I am unable to backup using iCloud. The phone still says I have data space left, and I do not have any more or less space than my last phone. Can someone please help??
Thank you!

when i do this it says this backup cannot be deleted because it is in use, the old phone has been restored to factory settings to be shipped back to the insurance co.
That should clear up on its own, but may take 3-5 days to do so. Wait a few days and try again.

My icloud will not back up

Whenever I try to do an icloud backup, my phone starts the backup but then I get a message stating that the backup could not be completed.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
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.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
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.

Icloud will not back up because it says email address not verified. I am not getting a link in my email to follow to verify account, checked email address listed is correct, so how do I verify email address when I dont get the email link?

I am unable to verify email address to sign in to icloud so that I can backup my stuff. I am not getting an email from apple to follow a link to verify email address. I have checked to make sure the email address is correct in the icloud settings, but all it will tell me is to check my email for instructions on how to verify my account. I am not getting the email! Please help, I am able to sign in to my itunes account and buy new music all the time! I get my itunes receipts and everything, and know the email is correct so what is the deal?

If you have given correct info about you ios 6.1.3 - all you need to do is delete account. You will be able to sign in with new one afterwards. Make sure you don't delete any info when you see those prompts.

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)

HT4910 Icloud will not back up on iphone 5

I have an iphone 5 which I plug in each night. When I get up, the msg is that the icloud backup could not be completed. I have tried to do the icloud back up manually in settings, but it doesn't complete there either. Any ideas why the back up cannot complete?

ICloud will not back up my phone and says i do not have enough storage available.

I used my sons Apple ID and password when setting up my iPhone 4s. It now says that i do not have enough storage available to back up my phone. How can i set up my own account without losing any data?
