My iPhone 5 just keeps saying 'backing up...' When I try to back it up to iCloud. It is my first time backing up to iCloud as I have just bought a iPad. What can I do.

There's noting on my iPad yet..

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

    Did you or your friend follow, exactly, the instructions on the page that FoxFifth linked to when creating a new account ? I've just tried it on my computer's iTunes and the instructions still work, I get the 'none' option on a new account

  • I just bought an iPad 2, can I exchange it for ipad3?

    I just bought an iPad 2, can I exchange it for an ipad3? I just got this one 3 weeks ago

    If you purchased your iPad from the Apple Store within the last fourteen calendar days, then you can return it. If it was longer ago than that, then no, you cannot do a return. If you purchased from another dealer, that dealer's return policy if any would apply.

    Just bought my ipad. I can't verify my apple id, because i entered the wrong e-mail address I  set up.  How can i correct my apple id to my right e-mail address?

    If you are talking about your Apple ID - go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the incorrect ID and sign out. Then sign in with the correct ID.

  • What is going on with iCloud?  My photos haven't uploaded to Photostream on my computer and I keep getting an error when I try to log in to my icloud account!

    My photos from my iphone 4s have not uploaded to my photostream folder on my laptop in over 2 weeks.  Also, when I try to log in to my icloud account, I keep getting an error.
    Can anyone explain what is going on and when I can expect my pictures to stream automatically again?

    randers4,
    Thanks for your suggestion.  I started to sign off, but was uncomfortable deleting iCal data from my iMac in case there were old entries not sync'd to iCloud.  So I decided to  only delete Notes data from my iMac. 
    I first checked Notes on different devices and saw that they contained more data than my iMac, so I was pretty certain this is what I had in iCloud (another way would be to log on to icloud.com).  I then unchecked Notes under System Preferences>iCloud, which prompted me to delete Notes from this Mac.  I clicked on Delete from Mac, allowed it to finish, then clicked on the Notes checkbox again, and it sync'd the data from iCloud back to Notes on my iMac.

  • I keep getting this message when wanting to download latest itunes software update :The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for AppleMobileDeviceSupport. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. what can i do to download?

    The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for AppleMobileDeviceSupport. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. what can i do to download software when the above message keeps popping up...not allowing me to download

    I had the same problem this weekend.  The iphone 4s needed Itunes10.5 to sync to her Asus Windows 7 Laptop.  When I tried to download from the Apple website I got the error that the windows installer was missings files or something like that.  I uninstalled itunes and tried again but that didn't work.  Then I redownloaded itunes 10.3 just to have a working version in case I gave up.  Then I found site that suggested I update Windows by going through the start menu and while doing that I found an update Apple itunes file. 
    Goto Start and type Widows Update in the seach window.  Click on check for updates (I already was current with all updates but I suggest you download the updates if there are some available.
    Goto start and this time just type update in the search window.  Look for the Apple itunes update link and click on it.  It found there were updates for itunes 10.5, Quick time, Safari, and Icloud.  I checked all the updates except for Safari, since we don't use it (yet).
    The install started then seemed to stall at one spot for ~3min but then completed successfully.  I open itunes and had her synced with Outlook Contact, Email, Calender, and Notes in 5 minutes.  I did already configure Outlook by going to tools and Trust Center.
    I hope this works.

  • HT201274 I am trying to restore my ipad, my girls forgot passcode and when I hookup to itunes nothing comes up because I don't have any itunes on ipad, what can I do

    In case this doesn't show up....I am trying to restore my ipad due to the fact my girls forgot passcode....when I hook up to PC and try to incorporate itunes, it will not come up maybe because I have no itunes on my ipad...can anyone give me any suggestions, as of now I have disabled the ipad trying for a passcode...

    You do have iTunes on the iPad. You need to have iTunes on the PC because you need to restore it now.
    You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    Try this ..... You will have to use recovery mode

  • I have purchased a full tv series of episodes.  When I try to download them, it downloads as Juan's the first few minutes of each episode.  I have tried to download several times...connection to Internet seems strong.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have purchased a tv series from iTunes for Mac..  When I try to download either the episodes individually or the entire series all I get are the first minute or so of each.  What am I doing wrong?  ( My Internet connect is strong and good.)

    first, try this:
    Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu. The server will recognize you are reauthorizing and not count your computer a second time.
    if that doesn't work, then try this:
    Quit iTunes.
    In Terminal, go to /Users/Shared/ and rename the "SC Info" folder to something else.
    Run iTunes, and do the authorize as mentioned above.
    please let me know if this helps.

  • I'm a new MacBook user and can't use my current Apple ID...Keeps saying "wrong password" when I try to install new programs.

    Received computer after Best Buy did the initial "start up"..."User" is labeled "User1" - I can't go into Users and change the user name - even by using my valid Apple ID and password that I created years ago ("wrong password" keeps appearing).  Don't know what I'm doing wrong.??

    The procedure under 10.7 for resetting your password when you don't know your old password requires your Apple-ID. It may not be willing to reset the password using a different Apple-ID.

  • Firefox won't start, and I cannot download the new version as it keeps saying 'unspecified error' when I try

    We (my wife and I) downloaded the new version of firefox, but found that it was being very jerky and slow and just didn't really like how it looked. My wife did a system restore on our computer to see if that helped, and since then firefox hasn't started at all - if we double click on the icon, it looks like it's doing something and then it just doesn't open. Whenever I try and download it again it comes up with 'unspecified error'. I've tried deleting all the firefox program files from my computer first, but there is one file in conponents that it won't let me because I need administrator permission. It doesn't seem to make any difference anyway.

    Using "System Restore" can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.<br />
    You need to (re)install software that was affected.<br />
    Remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a freshly downloaded Firefox copy to do a clean install.
    You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *Firefox 11.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • My acrobat program keeps saying Access denide when I try to open my pdf files

    see title.  I recently had to back up, and restore my computer, now it is saying I do not have access to my pdf files.  says I do not have permission to access .  how do I fix this?

    Thanks Bill !! for providing the simple answer - this has saved me much work.  I always assumed that Acrobat would either a) sort the inserted files alphanumerically or b) use the sort order of the OS's file selector.  The c) answer of inserting the files in the reverse order of the OS file selector (since Acrobat will reverse that order) eluded me until now.  
    It's clearly a bug in the program, I'm using Acrobat X Pro, but had the exact same problem with Acrobat 7 - never occurred to me to sort the file listing in reverse alphanumeric order in order to have Acrobat insert them in correct alphanumeric order.
    Thank!
