My iPod will not backup on iCloud

My iPod says that it has not been backed up for like a few weeks and it is because it says that I have to much to back up. I have like 100 pictures and it say it takes up 6 gb and that can't be right. Same with some of the apps. Some apps take up4 gab. The total gb for back up is like 10gb when it only can to 5gb. Please help me on what I should do

  • My iPhone 4S will not backup to iCloud

    My iPhone 4S will not backup to iCloud. My husband has the iPhone 4 and has no proleg with backups. Any suggestions?

    You need to have your phone plugged in and on wifi for automatic backups to take place.   Also, you must not be out of your 5GB free space on your iCloud account.
    If it is hanging up, delete the existing backup and then try to start again.

  • HT5372 My iphone, with icloud will not backup via icloud and will not display storage amounts. My ipad does everything great on the same account. What is going on?

    My ipad uploads and syncs fine with icloud. In the "storage and backup" section it displays the total storage and available. Backups perform fine.  But on the same account my iphone has stopped displaying this information and will not sync info. It says:  Icloud storage details are currently unavailable and will not backup.  What is going on since I know the account works?

  • TS4009 My new apple iPhone 5 and my new ipad will not backup to iCloud. Call support and have another call, as apple can not identify the. Issue? Any suggestions??

    Can not backup to iCloud on new iPhone 5 or my new ipad. So far apple can locate problem . Any ideas.

    I am logged into Icloud on both devices.  There is plenty of storage.  My Iphone5 has never backed up automatically or manually.  It is plugged in and on Wifi.  The message is always backup did not complete.  My new ipad backed up once on 10/29/12 and does exactly the same thing as my phone.  If you start the backup manually it stops after 10-20 minutes and says did not complete back up.  I have made sure my login password is the same on both devices....I was bumped up a level last night on Apple Support call and she could not figure it out.  We have another call tonight.  So far I have no backup of my contacts and do not know what the issue is. 

  • IPad 2 will not backup into iCloud

    My Mac, Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad 2 all have up to date software. The iPad 2 does not want to backup to iCloud, whereas all the others do.
    Under Settings, iCloud is "On", iCloud Backup is "On", etc. Last Backup always says "Never". When I try to run a Backup, nothing happens for a very long period of time, like now when it says "About 11 hours remaining". It will eventually time out and say that it couldn't complete the backup.
    Any ideas why and how to get it operatimg?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I'm having the same problem with ipad3. Mine hasn't backed up since 7th April!  I've tried automatic backup with charger and screen lock and manual backup. Every time I get the same message "backup couldn't be completed " and back up never. Spoke to apple rep on the phone, tried deleting iCloud  account on iPad and resetting wifi settings. Nothing has worked. Rep was trying to say its my Internet connection which isn't the issue as my upload speed is more than enough! I have been asked to test on anther wifi network which I will try but from what I have seen on the forum it appears to be an issue with the iCloud server that apple won't admit to.

  • Iphone 4 will not backup with Icloud.

    I have Iphone4.  When I backup with Icloud the bar starts across then quits.  It says "the last backup could not be completed" but gives no reason.  My Ipad, wife's Iphone 4s and Ipad 2 all backup successfully.

  • TS3992 My phone will not backup to icloud.  I just keep getting  a warning that it has not backedup and it must be plugged in and locked to back up.  Help?

    I keep getting a warning that my phone has not backed up and that it needs to be plugged in, locked and connected to wifi to back up. I have tried many times, with all these conditions being met, but nothing.  Help!?!

    This 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.

  • My mini ipad2 will not backup to cloud - not auto or manually and I have plenty of storage ??

    my mini iPad 2 will not backup to iCloud storage ... Not auto or manually... I have a pard storage plan so I have plenty of room ... I get no messages except that backup could not be completed... Any suggestions anyone ?

    Have you tried using another WiFi network? Or reset your router? Uplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Sometimes that can really work wonders.
    You may also have a corrupt backup and deleting the current backup might help. I wouldn't delete the backup without backing up to iTunes first. If you don't use iTunes, that won't be an option, but it may come down to having to delete the backup anyway if nothing else will work.

  • HT4759 IPhone will not backup

    Iphone 4 will not backup to Icloud, just sits there

    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.
