Not able to delete an icloud backup

I first had an iPhone 4. Since two days I have an iPhone 4S. Now i wanted to delete the backup of my iPhone 4. But I got a message, that I nearly reached my limit of 5 GB. So I selecedt the old backup and pressed delete. Then I got a message, that deleting is not possible. I cannot delete any of my iPhone-backups, but the backup of my iPad. I tryed it many times.

Same here. I had a 3GS backup in iCloud, now I have a 4S. When trying to delete the 3GS backup from iCloud to save some space for my 4S, it says I cannot remove the backup. Tried it from my iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4S and my Macbook Pro, all without success. Is this just temporarily? Are more people having trouble?

  • I changed my Apple ID that using an invalid email address to a new one and I am trying to update iCloud account on iPhone5 with iOS 7.1.2, and I am not able to delete iCloud account without the old password.

    I changed my Apple ID that using an invalid email address and I am trying to update iCloud account with my new Apple ID on iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2. I am not able to delete iCloud account without the old password. Is there a way to update the Apple ID of my iCloud account?

    Many people are having probalems with this right now.  The only solution I've seen that seems to consistently work is the one posted by Brackers28 here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23020591#23020591.  This only works if you still have access to your old email account.  If you don't, you'll have to have Apple help you reset the password for your old account so you can turn off Find My iPhone and sign into your account with your correct ID.

    You cannot backup photos to iCloud.
    You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
    Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
    Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
    If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
    On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
    Tap iCloud.
    Tap Storage & Backup.
    Tap Manage Storage.
    In the Backups section, tap your device.
    In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
    To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.

  • What happens if I click "delete backup" in order to delete the iCloud backups from my sisters phone off my device. Will it delete everything on her phone?

    So a while ago when I got my phone I started a new Apple ID account/ iCloud.. Then when my sister got a new iphone I gave her my id to use too. In settings-general-usage it says that my storage is almost full. I then click on manage storage and it shows my phone and my sisters phone and how many gb or whatever. Also it says "last backup failed" and other stuff that's Irrelevant. Now when I click on my sisters phone I have an option to "delete backup" MY QUESTION is if I click the delete backup button will it just delete the iCloud backup off my phone OR will it totally delete everything involving the backup off my sisters phone forever??? Please help! Thank you so much!!!!!

    Deleting a backup deletes the backup only from the iCloud storage, not anything on the iPhone.
    The iPhone's iCloud backup will be updated at some point - automatically when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network while connected to a power source unless the iCloud backup is turned off on the iPhone.

  • My iCloud is defaulting to an old Hotmail address that I no longer use, my apple ID is currently functioning fine with a gmail account.  I'm not able to change my iCloud email on my phone or on desktop... Any advice?

    My iCloud is defaulting to an old Hotmail address that I no longer use, my apple ID is currently functioning fine with a gmail account.  I'm not able to change my iCloud email on my phone or on desktop... Any advice?

    You would have to change your Apple ID back to your old hotmail address (https://appleid.apple.com ) in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" and change the iCloud ID. After you changed it back and verified your old hotmail address you should be able turn off "Find My iPhone" and to temporarily delete your iCloud account from your devices. After that you can change your Apple ID back to your gmail address again. After it is verfied, you could add back your iCloud account by using your gmail address.

  • Is it possible to delete your iCloud backup while you're restoring from it?

    I was restoring my phone from an iCloud backup when all of a sudden my phone kept yelling at me that my iCloud storage was full. I mindlessly deleted the OLD backup from which I was restoring from to make room for the new one. I'm not sure if my phone was completely finished with restoring and wanted to know if it was possible to delete an iCloud backup while restoring.
    Thanks!
    Edit: sorry for saying "restoring" so many times in three sentences !

    Okay thank you so much! Before my restore, I only had ~0.3gb free on my phone and now I have 3gb so I thought it was because the restore didn't complete. I guess it was because not everything was backed to iCloud!

  • I deleted my icloud backup by accident

    I deleted my icloud backup from my iphone by accident, but I can still see that it shows up on iCloud.com. Anyone know how to get this to show up on my phone again? I lost all my photos when I reset it.

    You are not seeing your backup on icloud.com.  What you are seeing is data synced from your phone to iCloud.  (Syncing data with iCloud is different from backing up to iCloud.)  To recover synced data like contacts and calendars, you simply go to Settings>iCloud, confirm that you are sign into your iCloud account, then turn Contacts, Calendars, etc. to On.  If prompted, choose merge.

  • In my contacts, I want to edit information. Some of this information is 'grayed out' and I am not able to delete it - any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

    In my contacts, I want to edit information. Some of this information is 'grayed out' and I am not able to delete it - any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

    For example:  SusanX has quit her job and I still have her employment email address and phone number.  All her other information is the same but I want to delete the information no long viable. When I go into edit mode the information is grayed out and is not deletable. I went to my iCloud and tried to delete it there, no luck.
    I am thinking I might just have to delete the entire contact card and just start from scratch with only her current information.  Seems like there should be a way to delete only parts of the information rather that resort to start a new contact card.
    Thanks for your help. I appreciate you taking the time to advise me on this.

  • What is deleted when I delete my iCloud backup?

    What will I lose when I delete my iCloud backup?  Pictures? Notes?

    You'll lose that backup file but nothing that's on the device.
    Just make a new backup after deleting the old one.

  • Not able to delete file from external hard disk

    I connected my external hard disk to my macbook pro. But am not able to delete any file since it says the file cannot be deleted when I move it to trash. Could you let me know how to delete a file from the external hard disk?

    How is your HDD formatted? NTFS? FAT?
    Did you write files with rights? When you strike +I on any file, you can see its rights; if you're read-only, you may change your file's rights.

  • Not able to delete emails from Shared mailbox

    Hello Team,
    I have a mailbox which is shared. User A is having access on that mailbox.
    I have added That mailbox as additional Mailbox. when i click on delete button or right click delete i am not able to delete that messages and from any folder.
    I have configured User A profile on multiple system and in each and every system i am not able to delete emails
    I am using O365 business plan and my Outlook is professional plus with latest update
    I removed the mailbox which is shared and added that account as Multi Ex so i am able to delete it
    I am running scripts in background so i dont want to add that mailbox as Multi Ex(By going into account settings and adding new email with credentials)
    I have given full access to User A on that mailbox on the portal. I removed the access and then re added the access and then also i am not able to delete emails
    I have tried safe mode
    I have tried online mode
    I have tried cached mode 
    I have tried Right clicking folder for example Inbox and given User A as owner permission from outlook.
    I have done the same method of giving permission from OWA
    If i open Mailbox in OWA by logging in Using User A and then clicking another user's mailbox and opening mailbox which is shared and i am able to delete emails there.

    Exchange doesn't do that.  POP3 is a single mailbox client mail retrieval protocol, not a mail transport protocol. 
    Any attempt to use it as a mail transport protocol is a great big kludge. 
    Exchange is designed to connect to the Internet using SMTP.
    Small Business Server includes a POP mail puller, but I don't recommend it because, again, it's a great big kludge.

    Best Regards,

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.
