TS3992 Incomplete back up!

I backed up 6.8 Gigs of total 8 Gigs into the cloud with the 'Incomplete back up' message...I was forced to reset my phone to factory default. Now I dont see anything in my icloud to restore. Any idea if it can be recovered from anywhere? Please help!

Simple resolution to try, disconnect device from computer and restart iPhone and computer.
Then, reconnect device and backup again in iTunes.

HT4859 I HAVE AN INCOMPLETE BACK UP ON ICLOUD THAT I WOULD LIKE TO GET BACK AS IT IS

I WANT TO GET THAT INCOMPLETE BACK UP FROM ICLOUD BUT IS NOT SHWING WHEN I TRY TO RESTORE BUT IT SHOWS ON THE ICLOUD DATE USEGE

You have to do a full restore to your device to get things from iCloud. You can't pick and choose.
In addition, from what I've read, you can't get anything back to the camera roll, if that's where you stored some of your files. The camera roll is temporary storage untill you sync photos and videos to your computer. If you used Photo Stream, then iCloud syncs new pictures from your iPhone to all other devices that are set to sync Photo Stream. But there's a limit to how many pictures per month (I think 1000) and iCloud saves photos for 30 days, so the other devices have time to sync to get the photos. But there's no way to get them out of iCloud in Photo Stream in case you lost all the pictures on your devices.

How can I get data from an incomplete back up?

There is an 18GB incomplete backup on my icloud storage. The phone was lost and I need to retrieve at least some of the data, files, pictures, etc?
Howe can I get access to the data inside of an incomplete backup?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't access specific data in a back up, you can only use it to restore a device, which it won't if it's incomplete.

TS3992 iCloud Back up

My iPhone 3gs will not back up to the cloud. It always says it is incomplete even though I do everything I should. Then I often get messages to back up because it has been 2 months since I backed up. But I CANT

Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. 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 it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup 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.

TS3992 Trouble backing up via icloud and itunes

When I choose to Manually back up my icloud the back up does not work. I do have my phone plugged in, connected to wi-fi, and screen locked. The status bar at the bottom of the screen doesn't move at all and it says "estimated time remaining" but does not show a time...I have been patient and waited for hours and still no progress. This was my second failed attempt to back up my information after first trying to sync to itunes and having an error message that had something to do with a corrupt back up file. Please Help! I have got to get my information backed up so that I can turn on my new phone and turn in my old damaged phone. Any ideas???

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.

TS3992 Icloud back up problem. PLEASE HELP!

on my 4s, it says that my Camera Roll is 6.7 GB when i only have 499 pictures. and wont let me back up due to storage space. I know people with more pictures who do not have this problem. any help?

Do what you should be generally doing - sync the photos to a computer, then you can delete them from the device. Never trust photos just to the device or an icloud backup - too many users have lost photos that way. Sync them to itunes...

TS3992 Icloud back up not working

It has been more than 180 days. How do I back up my ipad?

TS3992 iCloud back-up issue

How do you fix the error code 'not backed up in 2 weeks' my iPad was plugged in, charged, locked and connected to Wi-FI. I went into my PC through itunes to manage the account and it shows backed-up. My iPad is totally locked and I can't do anything with it - not even turn it off to re-boot. Any ideas?

As long as you charge it connected to wifi overnight it will backup itself, or you can click backup now button in settings- icloud- storage and backup.

TS3992 Manual back up from PC to iCloud

Want to start a manual back up as having added photos to my photo stream on my pc they are not being dragged on to my other devices yet, at least, a few are but most haven't been and this was 1/2 hour ago. How do I manually start a back up on my PC?

Hello MaryPants,
It sounds like you are wanting to back up your iOS device to iTunes on your computer. I recommend the following article to help you get that accomplished:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Use iTunes
You can use iTunes to back up and restore your content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Note that iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.
Back up
To back up the content on your iOS device, follow these steps:
Make sure your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Choose File > Devices > Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Backup Now.
You can also back up by syncing your iOS device with your computer. When you use iTunes to sync, backing up is the first step.
To verify that the backup finished successfully, open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. You'll see the name of the device along with the date and time iTunes created the backup.
If this is not what you are trying to back up, would you mind ellaborating on what you are trying to back up?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

TS3992 icloud back up cannot be completed

Been trying to do the back up using icloud and its even have 3.3gb available on my 5gb alloted space. When it's almost done it just says back up couldnot be completed. I dont know why since there is enough space.

And just found out that when I connect my iphone to itunes, on the summary page it shows it is backed up to icloud and recently backed up on the same day since my wi-fi is always on.Does it mean it is backed up to icloud? Should I rely on the message on itunes regarding the back up done/ Or should the message on my iphone "back up was not completed" be a problem? I know it is already a problem since its not backing up unlike before I updated software and when there was only little available space but stillback-up was done in a jiffy.

TS3992 Icloud backs up only 3 notes out of many. Can anyone instruct me how to cackup all notes?

Icloud backs up only three notes out of many. Cab some body instruct me how to back up all notes? Thanks

Doing further research on this problem it seems it may (???) be a DNS problem. I read this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4547823&#4547823
and as it suggests on one of the problematical iMac's I set the DNS server settings in System Preferences to use these DNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
The iMac in question now seems to be able to access most websites although it seems a fair bit slower than my Macbook Pro.
All of the Macs on my network have (from what I can establish) been getting their DSN info from the Airport Extreme which has in turn been getting it from the Astoria Networks ADSL router.
Although I appear to have found a temporary fix of some sort, what I don't understand is why, with 3 Macs which appear to have identical network settings, does my Macbook Pro have no problems accessing any websites whereas both of the iMacs can not unless I add these open DNS server addresses to System Preferences. It suggests to me there is some problem with either the ADSL router or the Airport Extreme handling or providing DNS for the 2 iMacs.
I'm a total non techie stumbling around on these issues, in a world where ISP or Apple customer support is next to non-existent, so any thoughts / suggestions would be very much appreciated!

TS3992 My Back Up Now won't work

My Backup Now isn't highlighted on my Iphone 4. I'm having issues with my backup to icloud.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)

I had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect my c even if i'm going from a 4 to a 5s?

i had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect to itunes, does it automatically sync / backup even if i'm going from a 4 w/IOS 6 to a 5S w/IOS 7?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can probably delete the 2 incomplete back ups they are unlikely to work.
However, I'd be inclined to back up to a computer as well and restore from there, if you are changing your phone.

Timeout and PO status become Incomplete

Hi,
PO approval workflow has been configured according to documentation in Metalink to
1) send reminder#1 after 2 days
2) reminder#2 2 days after reminder#1
3) Auto route to next approval level 2 days after reminder#2
The problem is, point 3 will change PO status to 'Incomplete' if it is already at the highest approval level and there is no next approval level in the hierarchy. Has anyone encounter that? Is this the standard feature of timeout for PO approval?
If it is the standard feature of timeout for workflow, is there a workaround where auto routing can be stopped 1 level before the highest approval level?
Thank you.

Hi Allison,
Thanks for your reply. I've checked the web site you give, it's not the same problem I encounter.
My PR is not in in-process status, it is in incomplete status as if it is a new PR. This happens when the PR has been auto escalated to the highest level in the hierarchy. Guess it doesn't know where to auto escalate to once it reaches the highest level so it changes to incomplete - back to PR requestor.
Anyone encounter this problem? Or is there a workaround where we can stop auto-escalation once it reaches the highest level in the hierarchy? Appreciate any help/suggestion.
Regards.

TS3992 Incomplete back up!
