My stuff on my phone does not backup to iCloud!
Hey,
I just bought a new 5s and I try to backup my phone via iCloud and it goes fine but whenever I check my iCloud account, it only has my old stuff from my iphone 3gs!?
Thank you.
I'm not sure you will be able to merge everything but, you need to select merge when prompted after turning on each service in settings iCloud.
If you don't want the details stored currently in iCloud and wish to delete them before merging then you can delete this data from iCloud.com on a computer.
So for example in the case of contacts, make sure contacts isn't turned on on your phone (settings > iCloud), go to iCloud.com and delete your contacts there, go to iCloud settings on your phone and enable contacts, choose merge when prompted.

Phone will not backup to iCloud
My iPhone has very little it yet will not backup to iCloud. Says 2 hours?
Sounds like you have a slow WiFi connection.

I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud. However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud. The company has no plans to update anytime soon. Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes. The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud. Is there a solution?
I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

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. -
How do I have my wife's iphone 4s upload pics to the same icloud I use for with my 4s and ipad? Can seem to change her icloud ID to match mine.
I can tell you how to do this but first wanted to be sure that's what you want to do. You would then be sharing the same iCloud account and any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) would then be merged and the merge data would appear on her phone and your iPad (i.e., you'll end up with each other's contacts on your phone). You would also both be backing up your devices to the same account, sharing the 5GB of free storage (assuming you're both backing up to iCloud).
There's an alternative setup that would allow her to set up your iCloud account on her phone as her primary account and just turn on photo stream in that account (allowing your to share you photo stream), then set up a secondary iCloud account on her phone that would sync her Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendars and Reminders. She would still have to back up her phone to your account, as well as syncing Safari, Documents and Find My iPhone (all of which can only be done in the primary account). Also, her mail would be fetch, not push as push email is only supported in the primary account.
I suppose a third option is to leave things as they are and share you photos with each other using shared photo streams.
Let me know what you want to do and I'll give you the steps. -
Phone does not restore from icloud (invalid device while updating mme delegate account)
Hi
When restoring an iphone4 I get to the part that says restore from icloud, then enter the user details (if you get them wrong it tells you) then it moves onto the Terms and Conditions page which you then click agree. At this point I either get "there was a problem connecting to the server" or "invalid device while updating mme delegate account".
Help ....
Any ideas pleaseSorted it by clicking the home button and choosing start again, the phone then erased its self and the next time it started the restore process worked fine

Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB conncected, both worked well before, but both now spinning, blinking, and not showing up on the screen as before,
Interestingly they both appear in the System Profiler, but just not working the same as before
I have tried other USB ports, but the same responce,yes I did reset the PRAM, but no benefit, still the same problem
my usb devices are: keyboard, mouse, printer, SD-USB-M3, and LaCie d2 DVDRW:
the mouse and printed are plugged into the keyboard: i have tried to move, these around, and have even tried just the mouse, printer and SD-USB-M3, but still the same problem

Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring I have an iphone5 64 syncing about 8000 songs, so updating all is a time consuming, and now maddening process. Never had a problem before iOS 8. Someone (hello Apple) needs to develop a utility to help manage artwork recovery.

Since installing the latest Itunes my phone does not auto sync as before, how can I set this up?
Since i updated to the newest ITunes my phone does not automatically sync as it did before. I am not able to locate my pictures or music or apps to set to auto sync. I receive no message that tells when the phone was last backed up to ICloud. I have several songs on ITunes under ICloud that are in the waiting status. This is all confusing. I have clicked on every available option.
Thank youI'm afraid at this point a backup can't be created anymore and the phone has been damaged too much by the water.
You'll have to get it replaced and use the latest existing backup you have. -
i bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working.
I saw cidya aap so i m not sure if it was jailbroken or not before but it is back to normal settings.
My problem started when I tried to sync my music files. I pressed 'sync' all it says is waiting for sync start, preparing to sync and then waiting for the changes to be applied. but it does not sync at all.
I found a way to sync my music files through autofill but I really wanted to sync ringtones but its not syncing and I really wanted to put ringtones in my phone please help.If you see the cidya app, your iPhone is hacked with the cutsie term for this being jailbroken. This also means all the built in security has been removed making the iPhone as insecure as an android device.
Restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup to get rid of that hacking garbage. If the iPhone has hacked to be unlocked, the iPhone will no longer be unlocked when doing so. -
Nokia Suite does NOT backup map favorites. Belle u...
I recently updated my E7-00 from Anna to Belle and lost all my map favorites in the process.
Although I did a full backup of my phone before the update I have since found out that Nokia Suite does not backup map favorites.
The Belle update did NOT make a copy of my map favorites, it wiped them out completely.
Nowhere have I seen that information before. When I updated to Anna I did not lose my map favorites.
There should be a warning about this before starting the Belle update.
The Belle Update FAQ states that after the update one of the things one can do immediately is access map favorites - NOT!
I have since learned, by searching online, that I am expected to sync my map favorites online with a Nokia server. I do not want to store my confidential information on someone else's server. Additionally, I don't pay for data service because it is so expensive here in Canada. So I would have to connect my phone via USB to my PC.
Nokia Suite backs up my contacts, photos,music, documents, etc. Why not my map favorites? In fact I store my music, photos, documents, and even contact information separate from my phone so I don't need Nokia Suite for that. But how do I copy my GPS coordinates off my phone for backup?
2nd level tech support suggested I recreate them all by browsing the maps on my phone and selecting the locations. That is so inaccurate, time consuming, and wrong. Supposedly they have passed my problem onto 3rd level tech support.
Does anyone know if one can import map coordinates into a symbian phone? I have many of the locations stored in another GPS application on a laptop. I can export them from there. That would be a partial solution.
Thanks.
Note: cross posted under Discussions Main Page > Software > Nokia SuiteI might suggest a Wi-Fi connection for access to the 'net, but let me assume that storing anything on a different server is not an option. So, what remains...
The least expensive, and simplest, method would be for you to buy any second Nokia phone that runs Nokia Maps. I use Nokia's Phone Switch technology to transfer all my maps data to a second phone. I'll have to do it again, so I can give you specific instructions on the "how", but the bottom line is it does work.
As to importing and exporting GPS Coordinates, I learned by accident that you can enter favorites by using GPS coordinates - and can also find the coordinates for something you have already entered.
A free program that I think is invaluable for using Maps on a Nokia, especially the N8, is "LeGPSData2". I used their older version for years, until the certificate expired and I was unable to upload it to my N8, but the new version is considerably better. You might find a way to do other things you mentioned with that program - and if not, you might suggest them (import/export) to the program author.
If you are as careful as you suggest you are, don't you have backups that you've already done on your PC? Have you tried to find your GPS data in those backups?
I can't speak for others, but regardless of what Nokia saiys would or woud not happen during the phone update, I don't "trust" any of it. I did my own backups two ways, as a complete bacakup on the PC, and as a phone backup on the memory card. I "think" but can't confirm, that the GPS data was backed up by both of them.
You're right - Nokia should fix the Belle installation script to also backup and re-install the maps data, if there is something wrong, but on my phone it did it all correctly following their instructions (in addition to my other backups, which I never needed).
If I get some free time, I'll see if I can get the import/export to work using Maps and LeGPSData2. It would be nice to do this to one location, multiple locations, or all locations. It would be nice to send this data to another phone directly, or to save it as a file. -

Phone does not ring when I get calls
My phone does not ring when I receive incoming calls since I upgraded software to IOS 7.
I tried that just now and it doesn't seem to have fixed it--but it is not a constant problem--just sometimes! I received a call from a friend when do not disturb was turned off but also when it was on! That was really strange!
Now I am trying to figure out why my camera flash won't work!!
Yikes crazy stuff going on with my phone since I updated the software!. -
iCloud does not backup. On my iPhone 4S it states "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later." after attempting to Back Up Now. I've spent far too much time trying to discover a work around to this issue, and I've been on this forum and others in search of answers, to no avail.
Before receiving my iPhone 4S in the mail on October 17th, I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 on the morning of the 15th. In using iCloud on that device, everything "just worked" as we're told that it should. As this problem has become apparent with my 4S, I have gone back and disabled iCloud on my old 3GS, but this has not solved my problem.
I've found many other customers in my searches that have had this same, or similar, issue. Some users claimed that turning off and on iCloud solved their problem. Some claimed that restoring their iPhone to factory settings and then reclaiming backed up data solved their peoblem. Some claimed that creating a new Apple account, using it to backup through iCloud, and then logging into their original Apple account solved their problem. None of these solutions worked for me.
Some users have speculated that this is some kind of corrupt account issue. I'm beginning to feel this way as well.
I'm not really interested in going to the Genius Bar, because frankly I've been more effective on my own and I haven't been impressed with their knowledge in the past. I am willing to call AppleCare to try to get some flag raised in Apple's Engineering department as a last resort, but I'm curious how widespread this issue is and if anybody has had any luck with this route yet.I don't want version and I want to go back to iOS 7.1.2 please tell me how to do it.
You can't. There's no going back to a previous iOS on an iPhone. Apple doesn't support it. Have you taken the phone into an Apple store Genius bar to have them take a look at it? Be sure to make an appointment before going in.
