My phone wont let me delete a backup from icloud

when i click the backup i want to delete it says cannot delete at this time ????

Cnnsidering the time I wonder if system upgrades were occurring at the time you tried. Also, maybe doing a power cycle would have fixed it also

  • Just downloaded ios7 and my phone wont let me delete music off of it

    my phone isnt letting me delete music off of it

    Hey jan131,
    Thanks for the question. With iOS 7, you can delete a song by doing the following:
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    via page 62 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Please note that if you have "Show All Music" enabled in Settings > iTunes & App Store, the above will delete the song from your device, but it will still appear available (with a cloud symbol to re-download).
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I can't delete the backup from icloud.

    Change my iphone4 to iphone4s,use the same icloud ID.
    I restore the iphone4 backup from icloud to my iphone4s,and the iphone4 will not use any more.
    Now,I can see two devices' backup in my icloud.
    I try to delete the iphone4 backup from iphone4s,but failed may time,why?

    I have the same scenario. Few days ago replaced my iphone 4 and got a new 4S. initially i logged in with the same apple id and restore from the iphone 4 backup..That gave me some glitches so i restored the phone and decided to setup as a new device. So now i wanted to delete the iphone4 backup from icloud. I've been trying from the phone and the icloud control panel and still not able to delete it. It gives an error that itrs being used to restore a device or is in use.
    I've tried all sorts of combination, deleting from the ipad, iphone, turning icloud back on/off,, iheck i even went as far as to delete my icloud account but that doest do anything. When i recreated the account, all my data was still there,, Seems like there is no way to delete your data once on the cloud!!!!

  • Does Anyone know how to delete the backup from iCloud.

    I have a new iPhone, I restored my backup from iCloud, and now I have 2 iphone backups. There´s a message that "It can´t be erased right now, try in other moment". And i received a mail that says I´m running out of space, buy more or go to settings..... Thak you very much, and sorry for my English

    You'll have to erase the photo on the computer and sync the content of the selected folder again using iTunes. iPhone, iPad and iPod touch: Syncing photos via iTunes

  • I accidentally deleted my backup from icloud on my iphone and now when I go into icloud in the settings it doesn't give me the option to backup my iphone to my icloud account anymore? How can I get my phone to backup to icloud again?

    I accidentally deleted the latest backup for my iphone 6 on icloud like a week ago and now I can't backup my phone to icloud at all.  When I go into settings, then into icloud, and then into manage my storage it does not give me the option to backup my iphone to my icloud account anymore. How do I get the "backup my iphone now" option in the manage my storage part of the icloud setting? Thanks.

    Hey guys I figured out how to solve the issue.
    You need to go to settings>general>restrictions.
    Turn off restrictions and your iCloud and twitter will start working.
    Enjoy.

    You can't delete your purchase history, you can only hide it (in iTunes on your computer).

  • My phone wont let me back up to icloud?

    my phone wont let me back up to icloud, even after purchasing the additional storage i needed. does anyone know why or how i can fix this?

    You need to be on wifi to do a backup.   And you need to be plugged in to power for it to automatically backup each night.
    How much space is it estimating your backup to be?

  • My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • My phone wont let me get rid of my old credit card on it

    my phone wont let me take off my old credit card

    Have you ever synced/backed up your iPhone?  If not, then you have no backup to use and will have to start with a factory fresh iPhone.  Note that you can redownload your apps for free.  Hopefully you've been syncing your contacts with something?

    my phone wont let me txt anymore everytime i try and txt it comes back saying  requested facility not implemented

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your carrier for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Wont let me delete

    It wont let e delete any photos in iphoto

    Where are you deleting from. If it's from an album then the Option-Delete key combination will move the photo to iPhoto's trash bin. If you're in the main library a simple delete will move it.
    If you're in an album and hit the delete key it only deletes the photo from that album, not the library.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    If it says your billing info is wrong that means that your credit card issuer is refusing to approve your account. You will have to solve the problem with your bank or credit card company.
