TS3992 I have ios 5.1.1 on my iphone 3gs and i can't seem to back up to my icloud. The only error the phone gives me is that the last backup did not complete. This happens even when i attempt to manually back up my phone to the cloud.

I am pretty sure my login information is correct because i see my previous backup on the phone. Any idea's what might cause this?

If you get the message "Backup not successful",  I had the same problem.
My solution was to turn off some apps (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap my device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options) and try a manual backup.  If it didn't work, turn off a few more apps and try a backup.  Keep doing that until the backup works.  Then try adding in some of the last batch of apps that were previously turned off - the objective is to find the app that causes the backup to fail.  For me, I suspect that the one app I found had a bad data file that, when included in the backup, caused the backup to quit.
This can be a long process if you have a lot of apps that you originally turned on for backups.

    Hey Nathan,
    I know it can be a bit frustrating to try to get a version of an application that will work on an older iOS version. This article explains how to do it -

    Somehow the country associated with my account was changed to China.  I did not make this change.  My credit card information needs to be updated but the system will not let me update either my credit card information or the country back to the United States.  My updated credit card information is not accepted because the country is China.  It will not allow me to change the country until the credit card information is changed. Help!!!

    This exact thing has happened to me. Did you get it resolved? If so, how??

    I'd say that darn stupid. The whole world can access iTunes Radio via Apple TV and the laptop, but apple had to restrict this to the US for IOS 7 for iPad & iPhone.

    I have an iPhone 3GS and I can't get it to pair with my iPad 3rd Gen neither will discover the other any suggestions

    An iPad and iPhone cannot connect via Bluetooth unless you are trying to use a Personal Hotspot feature on your iPhone or have one of the few third-party apps that allow limited file transfer or device-to-device gaming. Unless you're attempting one of these, then any previous "pairing" was probably illusory. If you are trying to use such a thing, tell us which one and someone may be able to provide suggestions.

    If you're using an iPhone 3G, you can't use the current version of that application.
    If you're using an iPhone 3GS, connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it.

  • Purchased albums but the last song did not complete the download.

    I purchased 2 albums from the Itunes store and on each album there is a song that did not complete the download, it was stuck at 100% and wouldn't clear, just froze. I shut down Itunes and went back into it and the two songs aren't in my library but when I go to the website to try to redownload them it shows they were purchased but it won't let me restore them. My main concern is both were album only song so it may be difficult to get them without redownloading the entire albums. Is there a way I can get these songs without paying for them again?

  • Potential work around/temporary fix for "backup did not complete"

    Hey guys,
    I was able to backup my phone when I first got it and then I tried backing it up one day and it stopped working... after reading online about some apps causing problems, I decided to try and delete some of the latest ones I installed. Doing one at a time I eventually was able to backup, when I thought I found the "bad app" I re-installed one of the first apps I deleted, wouldn't backup again... turns out it wasn't any particular app (in my case).
    Anyway! all this to say, that I think I found the issue some people are having. If you're application data is more than 675MB (give or take), Blackberry Link won't backup (for me)... I would backup my phone with whichever app at 672MB's, it would backup no problem, as soon as I would install another one, it would boost it up to 677MB's or above and it would be a no go... no particular app... I'm just guess 675MB, seems like it would make sense as a number.
    Anyway, I'm curious if this is the case for other people. What is everyone's application data size at, who are having this issue? If any of you can, try going below 672-675MB and see if it works. Incase you don't know how, to view how many MB's you have, go to Settings within BB Link with your phone selected, and then check "Select data to include in your backup files"... give it a minute or so to load.
    Hopefully this can be a fix for some people out there, until BB releases a patch.
    Mike

    Turns out this may be caused by Android Apps sideloaded. Try backing up just your settings. When you in BB Link click the Phone Tab than Click the Settings Gear and you can change what items the phone backs up. Try just the settings at first.
    If that works and you have Android apps loaded you may need to remove the Android Apps.
    BlackBerry needs to add better error messages or at the very least have error codes.  Not having error codes really makes troubleshooting a pain.

  • I click on my mobile me mail and the site "find my iphone comes up"; This happens even when I type in mobile me in the browser window! Only on firefox - not safari. What the heck? This just started today - and won't reverse!

    I have mobile me mail service. Use mac 10.6.7. Have latest firefox. Suddenly only can get "find my phone" - not mac mail - even when I type in the mac.me or mobile me mail in the browser window. Safari seems to work fine.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
