No Manual iCloud Backup in 8.1?

Sigh, I love updates. But when something is gone that we have gotten used to using it is quite annoying, especially when I spend my time searching for it. Where is the manual backup to iCloud????? It used to be in Settings, iCloud. Now it is not

They do seem to have moved things around, but I presume it should be in the same place on your Air as it is on my 3rd Gen:
When you open iCloud, scroll down to find "Backup", which appears to just be an option to turn it on or off. Tap that, and "Backup Now" will be available.

During manual icloud backup can i turn off my ipad

I am backing up my ipad 3 to icloud manually but it will take several hours. Can I turn off my ipad while doing the icloud backup?

You cannot turn off iPad.
1. You should enable iCloud Backup
2. Plug in charger
3. Put iPad on Sleep Mode
4. iPad will automatically backup your iPad
Note: Make sure iPad is connected to Wi-Fi

Manual iCloud backup question

I am trying to manually backup my Iphone 4s to iCloud. I connect only to Wifi, and then I've gone to Settings>iCloud>Storage&Backup>BackUpNow. It runs for 20 minutes or longer and then, right at the very end, it says "the last backup could not be completed"?

The icloud backup didn't save all of my contacts

I performed a manual icloud backup. After the backup completed, I checked my contact list online and it did not save half of my contacts. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can't check up on whats in a back up, you may be confused about how things work, what exactly are you trying to do.

Manual and automatic icloud backup failure

Ipad says this morning, "2 weeks since icloud backup".    Unable to use ipad, turn it off, etc. So, connected it to Itunes and clicked "restore" icloud backup.
Ipad was restored.
Turned off Ipad and closed Itunes.
Following directions to automatically backup to icloud (plug in, connected to WiFi and locked ipad) - failed to backup
Tried to manually backup - "estimated time remaining......"        doesn't give me a time.
Let ipad sit there plugged in, says it's backing up, but after a few minutes..........says it was unable to backup.
Then I thought that maybe I don't have enough space in my Free icloud acct (1GB left), so I upgrraded to add another 10GB.
I do have it set to automatically backup to icloud.
Opend iTunes again on desktop computer. I see the iPad in itunes. Clicked on "back up now" (to icloud). says looking for ipad. Then it disappers.
Went back to ipad. Says it's backing up, then a few seconds later, says unable to bakup.
In iTunes, turned OFF the sync to itunes with Wifi; Unplugged ipad from electrical outlet. on iPad, I made sure the iCloud backup was turned ON.
Hit the "backup now" on iPad. Says it's backing up..........Estimated time remaining....... - says no time.    Have waited about 3 minutes, and the blue bar showing status of backup is stuck.
What is going on here?

Same here, restored, completed manual backups which always end up with could not complete.
Slightly annoyed as worked fine before ios7 and my smart playlists are now useless.

HT1766 I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually. Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?

I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually.There is also still enough storage space. Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?

The HT1766 article you attached lists the prerequisites for an iCloud backup:
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in Settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage, it will run on a daily basis as long as your device is:
Connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi
Connected to a power source
Screen locked
You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

When I check my iCloud backup it says it has never backed up and when I try to back manually it gives a message of " estimating back up time" and doesn't back up even after having left it for many hours?

Yes I have tried that last weekend ad this weekend. I have tried wi fi at different times of the day too; in case it is speed issue. I have tried selecting only backing up limited content and not every thing per what other users suggest.
It's maybe either the router is lousy or there is something wrong with my software or hardware.
Appreciate your thoughts
Thanks!!

If iCloud Backup on; Voice Memos stuck.

Hello Apple People,
Some of my voice memos seem to be stuck.
Seems like they get unstuck if I have iCloud Backup turned off...
For example, if I turn off iCloud backup, then create a voice memo, that latest voice memo will be synced.
However, voice memos created with iCloud Backup on do not get synced into iTunes > iTunes Media > Voice Memos folder.
There is approximately a 20 file gap when I compare the iTunes > iTunes Media > Voice Memos folder to Voice Memos app on my device.
On my own I've tried the following:
Tech Recipies: Voice Memos iPhone to Computer
- Unplug iphone from the computer after the failed sync
- In iTunes, select File –> Library –> Organize Library –> Consolidate files
- Plug in the iphone & sync again
Deleting iTunes Library Files
Creating Alternate/New iTunes Folder
Uninstall/Reinstall iTunes
Recreating iTunes Library
My Device is iPhone 4
Version 5.1.1
PC, Windows Xp
Any ideas on how I can get ALL of the Voice Memos onto my Computer?
Any feedback about his would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Claudia

It only means that you will then automatically be backing up to iCloud instead of automatically backing up to your computer when you sync. No other syncing functions are effected.
Even if you are backing up to iCloud, you can always perform a manual backup to your computer in iTunes by going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now under Manually Back Up and Restore.

My iPhone 4S is attempting to restore from an iCloud backup. It's taking a very long time. Is it still restoring?

I began this crazy fiasco on Friday (it's now Monday). My phone didn't have enough storage to update to iOS8 via wifi, so I connected to my laptop. Thankfully I backed up my phone to iCloud & even saved pics manually onto my laptop before beginning the update via iTunes. My computer (PC, Dell Mini) kept making disconnection sounds (my USB ports are unreliable at times) so I began to think it wasn't going to work with the continuously broken connection (it was displaying a message in iTunes "waiting for iphone"). So I thought, well, if that USB port isn't working & it's already disconnected, I'll just switch the USB port real quick. BIG MISTAKE. I then got an error message saying the connection was lost & the update was interrupted. I clicked "OK" & then I was told that my iPhone would have to be reset to factory setting before it could be updated. GREAT... So I let it be restored to factory settings via iTunes. After that it updated to iOS8. Once that was complete I began the iCloud backup restore. It started Friday afternoon & ran for several hours, reloading many of my items. But then I had to leave work, & a wifi connection. My phone was away from wifi most of the weekend, but has had the spinning 'loading wheel' next to my "4G" icon in my status bar the whole time. Several of my Apps say their 'waiting' or 'loading' but they don't appear to be actually loading (hence, they're in the same 'loading' spot they've been in for days). When I looked online I found this:
How can I verify that the restore process is underway?
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. When the restore process is underway, the iCloud Backup setting is dimmed and you have the option to tap Stop Restoring.
But when I look at the Settings > iCloud on my phone, there's no "Storage & Backup." Instead, where that option should be, is a message at the very bottom of the page that says "Your iCloud account cannot be deleted because your iPhone is being restored." This is the only indication I have that it's still restoring, but like I said, the apps have not shown improvement in their loading. My phone has been back on wifi, connected to power source, & locked since 8:45am (it's now 9:45am).
Is my phone actually restoring??? Or is there a glitch & it's stuck??? Please help!

Now it's Wednesday (2 days since I originally posted) & my iPhone appears to have finally restored all my apps, but it still says it's restoring from iCloud backup. If all my apps are restored, what else could it be restoring? IS it actually restoring anything at this point, or is it still in 'glitch' mode??? I've tried turning it off & back on & it continues to say that it's restoring.

New iphone 5 setup with icloud backup from 4s iOS5.1 (HELP PLEASE)

long story hopefully an easy fix....
on wensday my power supply went and had to ship computer across country to Puget Computer Systems as we weren't sure if it was power supply or mobo...luckily it was power supply.
i daily backed up iphone 4s with itunes (10.7) as i do all music manually, playlists, etc. have like 3,000 plus songs, videos, audiobooks, mail aaccts and about 48 apps.
so next day (sept 19th) apple comes out with iOS 6 which i update my 4s to with no problem. I wanted a day to play with it to learn my way around.
next day i wait in line for 8 hours overnite and was #2 in line at apple store for my ATT 32gb white iPhone 5. while at apple store I get my icloud backup which gets all paid music,apps, etc since itunes version 10.3 (i always did both backups so as not to lose my contacts more than anything.
I have other paid stuff that is in library on computer along with audiobooks and about 2700 more songs.
my icloud backup put the playlists on iPhone but not most of the music for them as lots were ripped from my cd's.as i double them up making a copy on iPhone and a copy on itunes.
So I have been using iPhone 5 with no problems just don't have all of itunes library on it. My computer is coming back this week how do I plug in iPhone 5 via USB (which will be seen as new phone even though it has same name) and use my existing iTunes 10.7 library which the backups in iTunes still has iOS 5.1.1 on it?
There must be an easy way of doing it as i don't want to wipe off iphone 5 again as i don't see any purpose my library is all organized perfectly. I know my way around windows 7 pro 64 bit pretty well just don't know what itunes is going to say once it sees "joe's iPhone" again and installs the usb drivers and icon for it. what will it ask in regards to library and how do i use it with previous iOS on it?
Thank you very much for the help as I am going to need it.

Hi,
No one has any answers here amoungst all this apple knowledge?
Thank you

ICloud backups failing due to Safari bookmarks DB being locked

iCloud backups are failing to complete on my iPhone 4 (CDMA), iOS 5.0.1. I successfully completed a backup on November 9, but haven't been able to get a backup to complete since then. When I manually invoke the "Back Up Now" function, it starts backing up, then says "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later."
Looking in the console logs (below), it appears the problem is that the Safari bookmarks DB is locked (corrupted?). Indeed, I am unable to add additional bookmarks in Safari, I get the message: "Bookmarks are being synced. Please add the bookmark once syncing has completed."
I've tried restarting the iPhone to no avail; I've also looked at Apple's iCloud backup troubleshooting doc, and none of the cases there seemed to match this problem.
Any suggestions ar every much appreciated!
Here is what the iPhone console says:

Had same problem, the solution lies with having your original apple ID associated email address "verified".
I may not have all the steps down correctly, but open your apple ID account manager and go to the your listing for email and "verify" the email address. This association then seems to allow the use of your email address when you are trying to set up this new apple ID that they are requiring for iCloud.
Be aware that this new apple ID has a far reach and apparently cannot be undone, that is you can't change the name, characters, numbers or whatever you have for an email address that becomes your apple ID---even if you can no longer use the email address to receive email.
Lots of luck.
I have been trying to get the iCloud features to work for over a week now, including a visit to a genius bar, and still not fully functioning.

ICloud backups and Photostream not working

My iCloud backups do not appear to be happening correctly. When I first started using iOS5, I had no problem. Both my iPad1 and iPhone4S were backing up nicely to iCloud, and Photo Stream was working correctly. I used my usual Apple ID with iCloud, and have never had a Mobile Me account.
I also have a MacBook Air, which was running Snow Leopard. I then upgraded to Lion. I'm not sure, but it may have been shortly after this that I began to have problems with iCloud (or maybe I am getting my dates mixed up). I enabled Photostream on iPhoto too, shortly after I upgraded.
On both my iPhone and iPad, when I go into Settings/iCloud/Storage & Backup and check my storage details, it was showing that I had not had not backed up in some time. When I click the "back up now" button (while plugged into power and wifi on), it starts to do a manual backup, and appears to start backing up. A little bit of the blue status bar shows, and it says "estimated time remaining…." but never actually shows a time remaining, and after a while just errors saying "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later".
The odd thing is, when I hook my devices up to my MacBook, and view them in iTunes, on the "summary" tab (I have "backup to iCloud" ticked) and it DOES give a recent last backed up time. There is a disconnect between what iTunes is saying, and what the devices show. I'm really not sure if my data is getting backed up or not to iCloud! As a precaution, every so often I am switching iTunes back to backing the devices to the MacBook, so at least I am maintaining backups there. Once done, I flick back to the "backup to iCloud" setting.
Through trial and error, I have figured out that the "last backed up to iCloud" time shown in iTunes is a time I have manually tried to do a backup on the iDevice, even though the device itself does not say a backup was completed successfully. If I try to do a "sync" manually via iTunes on the MacBook, it seems to sync and transfer music/photos etc, but the "last backed time" in iTunes does not change.
Photostream has also stopped working. Although it did not stop working at the same time as the iCloud backups, it seemed to be gradual. It started by not synching all the new photos between devices, then just the occasional photo, and now nothing.
To fix the problem, I tried deleting iCloud from both my devices, and switching it off on the MacBook, for a day (including deactivating Photostream). When I went to enable it all again on all the devices, in the hope it would properly start backing up, it just reverted to the old state with the previous symptoms.
I have searched various help forums, but I have not seen anyone else report that iTunes says iCloud backups worked, but on the iOS5 devices is says they are not updating.
Suggestions? How can I get iCloud working correctly, including Photostream?
I had plans to subscribe to the iTunes Match service, but I don't want to pay the money if I am going to continue to have synch/backup issues and it causes problems with match.

I'm havnig a similar problem but just with photos. I have Photostream turned on on both my iPad and iPhone 4S but when I get to a Wifi environment and try to get the photos from my iPhone to upload onto the iPad through iCloud, nothing happens. I have both devices unlocked, I've checked both have Photostream turned on, but nothing. Any ideas?

ICloud backup iOS 8.1 - failing to backup

Since updating iOS to 8.1 yesterday, my iPhone 6 and my iPad retina mini are both failing to make iCloud backups. Either manually or automatically when powered and idle. I have loads of space on iCloud so that is not the issue. Tried deleting existing iCloud backups, tried logging in and out of iCloud account, restarting devices etc. Still not working 12 hours later. Anyone else?

There is a bug with 8.1 and I think I know what it is. Something in iOS 8.1 is double counting your space each time you try to backup, including the backup that hasn't yet occurred. Either that, or it is a bug/ploy from Apple to make a lot of people buy storage upgrades so we can backup.
For example, I have two devices backed up using 4.5GB of space, an iPad at 1.2GB and an iPhone 6 at 3.3GB. It said the size of my next backup for my iPhone6 is 3.3GB (no bigger than my prior backup). It says in Settings/iCloud/Manage Storage that I need an additional 2.8GB of space to do my backup, that I only have 458MB of space and is offering for me to upgrade my storage plan. What that means is that my next backup is not taking into account that most of the data in the prior backups is the same data.
So here's the additional bug - as a workaround I tried deleting my last backup and turning off iCloud backups on my iPhone. I then turned back on my iCloud backup again and it shows my current backup as 3.3GB (but not completed), and says I need an additional 2.8GB in order for it to backup and to upgrade my plan. It's counting my backup that I haven't been able to complete as used storage and still shows I only have 458MB available. This all started with iOS 8.1 after i installed it last night and my backups just started failing.
Based on these calculations, on iOS 8.1 if you have only one device (total) with more than 2.5GB backing up, you will never be able to use the 5GB free storage. You have to have enough space for your prior backup (including the one you're trying to do), and an entirely new backup on top of that. The extra fun bug is that it's even counting your current incomplete backup as already used iCloud space.

IPad 1 iCloud backup has stopped working

I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 1 both of which backup to iCloud. All has been working well for a while now. A few days ago (30th November in fact) the iPad automatci backup failed to complete (There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later.). The iPhone 4S is still backing up fine. I tried a mahnual backup on the iPad - same result. Then I tried truning off iCloud backup on the iPad, deleting the backup in Icloud, re-enabling it on the ipad and doing a manual backup (i.e. a new full backup). Same error; backup runs for several minutes (progress bar is over 75% complete) and then stops with this message.
This is clearly not a connectivity issue (my WiFi and Intetrnet conneciton are fine and I can backup my iPhone 4S with no problem) but something related to iCloud and/or the device.
Any suggestions for resolving this? For now I am having to backup to my PC but I would really like to get iCloud backup working again on my iPad.
Chris

Chris...
Try "resetting" a device when you have problems with a backup.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
And even though you don't think it's a connectivity issue, a connection can still time out with Wi-Fi during a backup.
This may also help. Tap Settings > General > Network > Reset Network Settings

ICloud backup is going to take 20 hours!!

Hi folks,
Hope you can help with two iCloud problems.
1) iTunes was happily running on a Vista laptop. Everything worked fine. I removed the hard drive and installed a bigger hard drive running Windows 7. Installed iTunes (ver 11.1.5.5) on the new hard drive. I was able to swap the old and new hard drives to get the laptop to boot into Vista (old HDD) or Win 7 (new HDD).
I now get a message using the new HDD that if I want to synch my iPhone, it will delete the content on the phone and it will synch with the new iTunes on the new hard drive.
I don't want to do that. What I want to do is backup the phone to iTunes on the new hard disk and add another album which I am trying to rip and import from CD (subject of another question in the iTunes forum).
2) the last iCloud backup was in January (using the old hard disk). When I try to do an iCloud backup on the new hard disk, it is telling me it will take 20 hours !!!
I have backed up the phone to my pc using the iTunes installation on the new hard drive.
For both questions, the old hard drive is non-bootable - Windows Vista has scr*wed up and although I can browse the files and folders on the drive when I use it as an external HDD, when I swap it into my laptop, Windows boots to a black screen with an arrow cursor and won't do anything else (and no, it won't boot into Safe Mode either, nor will Windows Recovery Centre sort it out) - sad times!
Any help gratefully received. Treat me as a 'noob' and please give any instructions in clear, step-by-step manner (assuming complete ignorance on my part).
Thanks in advance,
RB
