TS3992 I purchased more cloud storage but it will not back up. Seems stuck. Just says estimating time for back up but never moves.

I purchased more cloud space but since then have not been able to back up. I press back up and it says back up starting and it says time for back up but nothing happens. No time given and no back up done.

I tried the steps to reformat my external Hdrive, creating a partion etc using GUID partition scheme.
still nothing. Every hour Time Machine starts up says preparing, then stops and no back ups are made.
HELP!!

  • TS4009 I recently purchased more icloud, however, my phone will not  backup to it-not even manually.

    Recently purchased more icloud; however my phone will not back up to it-not even manually.  Has not backed it up since December.

    If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
    This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

  • After trial version expired and purchasing creative cloud membership programs still will not open

    I keep getting "trial version expired" even though I have purchased the cloud membership around 3 weeks ago.  I did the chat with someone who had me remove my cache, which did work for me to run Photoshop, but not for Dreamweaver.  I installed a patch for the download manager that did not work as well.  I have installed and uninstalled multiple times with no luck, and now have a project due Thursday!!  Please help!!

    I don't think these issues pertain to mine.  There is something getting mixed up between my trail version (expired) and my new Creative Cloud subscription.  Its like it can't see it for some reason.  I was able to get Photoshop to work but Dreamweaver is being stubborn!! Please help my project is now due tomorrow... !! Thanks!

  • TS4009 I bought more cloud storage but when I tried to download a TV program, it said there was no room.  What to do?

    I bought more cloud storage as the ipad was full.  But when I tried to download a TV episode, I got a message that my Ipad was full, even though the icloud is showing plenty of space.  What to do?

    Available Space on your Device is different to iCloud Space.
    More than likely you need to make more Space available on your Device.
    You will need to Delete some things from it to enable the Download.

  • I have a purchased song (Mexico-by Cake) that will NOT download to phone... says Download failed, try later...help!!

    I have iPhone 4, & one song will not download @ all. Says download failed, try later..... please help

    I am sorry that you don't find the answer to be correct. In THIS forum, telling you that you are in the wrong forum, and suggesting where to post for correct answers, or indeed any support, IS the answer.
    I'm also sorry that you purchased a phone that you are having trouble with. If the vendor cannot help you (HTC), and the eBay seller cannot help you, then you really do need to either follow up with the forums Ken suggests, or the HTC forum, or with eBay.

  • Have purchased extra cloud storage but iPod touch still saying no storage available. Also cannot get iPod tp back up to cloud, Have purchased extra cloud storage but iPod touch still saying no storage available. Also cannot get iPod tp back up to cloud

    Have purchased extra storage for my iPod touch but iPod is still saying not enough storage available to download games. When I go into cloud it is saying I have 9.6GB storage.  Cannot get it to back up to cloud either. Help!

    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • Firefox will not connect to websites, it just says "connecting" constantly, but I can access the internet using IE.

    For the last 2 days I have had a problem with Firefox. When I start it, one or two pages will open, sometimes 3 or 4, but then if I try to open any more tabs it will just get stuck connecting to it and never go to the page. Once it starts this infinite-connection process, the pages previously opened do not work anymore either. If you try to navigate in them, they will respond the same way. I have tried connecting in IE, and it works. I did upgrade to Firefox 6 yesterday, but I was having the problem before that (which is why I tried upgrading).

    I have tried all of the options in that first link you showed and none worked. I also configured my firewall (Windows Firewall) and ensured firefox was in the "Allow" list, which it was. I still have the issue.
    I did notice something interesting though. When I first checked the firewall, Mozilla firefox wasn't on the list at all. I had to manually add it and then made sure it was allowed to connect to the internet. Even after I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, I never got one of those windows notifications asking me if I wanted to add a rule for firefox. Checking the firewall settings again, firefox was still absent. I don't think it matters, firefox doesn't work with no rules at all in the firewall, or if I manually add the rule and allow firefox to connect.
    Any other thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for your help

  • HT201318 I just purchased more iCloud storage because my phone is saying it cannot complete an update without it, I went through and deleted a bunch of stuff beforehand and nothing changed so I thought I had to buy it. But nothing is showing that it has c

    I just purchased more storage for my phone because I needed a software update and it said I couldn't do it until I purchased more cloud storage, so I did. Now nothing is showing up and still cannot update my software? Does it take time to show up?

    Sometimes it does.  However, adding more iCloud storage doesn't give you any more space on your phone if that's what you're trying to do.  To create more space on your phone, you have to delete of sync something off of it.  You could, for example, you could delete all your music, then perform the update, then sync your music back to your phone using iTunes.

  • Purchased extra iCloud storage but nothing backed up

    Hello all,
    I recently traveled the UK and Europe for six weeks and used my iPhone 4s as my camera. I took so many photos that at one point I physically could not take anymore without purchasing more Cloud storage... so I paid for $20.00 a year of more storage. I was then able to take more photographs. I assumed that this meant these photos were being backed up to the Cloud.
    Also, multiple times my phone said it had not been backed up in weeks... yet I had it plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi every single night of the trip. My phone was stolen after 5 weeks and I recovered absolutely no photos, despite the purchasing of more Cloud space.
    Is there anything I can do to retrieve these photos?
    Thank you for your time,
    Spencer

    The only photos in iCloud are your camera roll photos, which are included in your backup by default, photo stream photos from the last 30 days, and any shared streams you created or subscribed to.  Also, only camera roll photos in your backup would require additional storage space as photo stream and shared stream photos don't use storage in your personal iCloud account 
    If you restore your backup that should recover camera roll photos that were on your device at the time it was backed up, and signing into your iCloud account should download photo stream and shared stream photos.

    That wouldn't necessarily ensure that your phone was being backed up daily.  Any number of issues could cause a backup to fail, including intermittent or poor wifi connectivity, a corrupt backup that couldn't be updated, or something included in the backup that was interfering with the backup.  When you are alerted that your device isn't being backed up you should try deleting your existing backup and backing up again.  If that fails, try excluding items from your backup until your can identify the one that is preventing a successful backup.

  • I purchased 15GB of storage but it shows that I only have 14.8GB even after having purchased more. I also removed alot of data and apps. How can I fix this issue?

    I purchased 15GB of storage, but it shows that I only have now 14.8GB available? I also deleted apps and anything that would allow for more space. How can I resolve this issue?

    You. as many other people purchased storage in icloud instead of getting yourself a bigger device (iphone/ipad/ipod). Device storage does not increase with icloud storage purchase. Just like other people you may have to contact Apple for refund and in the future look into buying bigger sized iphone.

  • When you purchase extra cloud storage, does that allow more storage for music, apps, and so forth to be downloaded?

    When you purchase extra cloud storage, does that allow more storage for music, apps, and so forth to be downloaded?

    So only documents? it doesnt store pictures, videos, or any of that stuff? or it doesnt store settings to your applications? I just want to know how exactly iCloud can effectively help me with storage because I only have a 16 gb ipod 4s. I have already decided I will not download any music onto it or videos

  • I have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my mphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem?  What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

    i have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my iphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem?  What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • I have deleted so many pictures, and I only have about 6 apps but i still don't have storage. Whenever i try to take picture it won't let me because there is no room. I just bought more iCloud storage but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    I need advice on getting more storage for my iPhone 6. I have just bought more iCloud storage, but it didn't help. I only have about 100 picture and 6 apps. I also recently purchased music and it won't let me download it to my phone because there is no storage. Any suggestions on getting more storage for my iPhone?

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with the memory available on your iPhone.
    Have you tried a reset?

  • If i purchase more iCloud storage, will it allow me to take more photos to keep in my photo library? Or does iCloud storage just count towards photostream?

    If i purchase more iCloud storage, will it allow me to take more photos to keep in my photo library? Or does iCloud storage just count towards photostream?

    Sorry, thats wrong. I just installed iOS 8.1 and got an error saying that it requires 5,6 GB of free space, but I have only 2,6 Gb free space in my iCloud Account.
    You will need to pay in order to use iCloud Photo Library in order to use it for a huge collection of photos. 5GB is not very much.
    Edit: I though you were talking about iCloud photo library.. I got that wrong.

  • Can't backup to iCloud because it's full, bought more iCloud storage but it isn't showing up.

    I just bought a new iphone it's saying that it can't back up to icloud because theres not enough icloud storage. I bought more icloud storage but it isn't showing up. is there a waiting period or did i do something wrong?

    If you just bought a new phone, don't you want to restore from backup to add data from your old phone to the new phone?
    Purchasing more storage is not always the answer.   Understand how iCloud backup works and how to manage what you store.
    Open settings
    iCloud
    Storage and backup
    Manage storage
    Select the device you are using
    Show all apps
    Now you can see what is backed up, and what is using the most storage in iCloud.  Photo and video are usually on top.
    ICloud does not backup the Apps, just the data in the App, if backed up to iCloud.   Turn off any app you don't need to have backed up. 
    Consider removing photo and video to Dropbox or Box for IOS, these are free, online storage apps which can be used on any device to move and store your pictures, video and documents.
