TS3992 iphone 4S not backuping to icloud since upgrade to iOS6
My iphone 4S is failing each time to backup to iCloud. This happens since upgraded to iOS6.
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.

I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud. However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud. The company has no plans to update anytime soon. Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes. The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud. Is there a solution?
I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

My wife and I have iPhones that backup to iCloud I upgraded my iPhone to iPhone 5 when I see stored from iCloud it restored all of my wife's phone data not mine how do I change it
You need to restore from your backup and not your wife's. You need to check if your backup is under the same or different apple id. If Id is the same you need to erase phone and find correct backup to restore from. If different you just need to use it at restore time.

My iPhone 4S will not backup to iCloud
My iPhone 4S will not backup to iCloud. My husband has the iPhone 4 and has no proleg with backups. Any suggestions?
You need to have your phone plugged in and on wifi for automatic backups to take place. Also, you must not be out of your 5GB free space on your iCloud account.
If it is hanging up, delete the existing backup and then try to start again. -
Can not backup to iCloud on new iPhone 5 or my new ipad. So far apple can locate problem . Any ideas.
I am logged into Icloud on both devices. There is plenty of storage. My Iphone5 has never backed up automatically or manually. It is plugged in and on Wifi. The message is always backup did not complete. My new ipad backed up once on 10/29/12 and does exactly the same thing as my phone. If you start the backup manually it stops after 10-20 minutes and says did not complete back up. I have made sure my login password is the same on both devices....I was bumped up a level last night on Apple Support call and she could not figure it out. We have another call tonight. So far I have no backup of my contacts and do not know what the issue is.

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?
It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer. Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results? If so how do I do this? Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is? Very new/green user here

I am unable to backup my iPhone4 (4.3.4) after months of successful backups. Receive "iPhone could not backup the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Followed advise on user forum to delete the old backup... did not help. Need to do a backup. Is there a cure?
The only thing that resolved it for me was to COMPLETELY remove all Apple components per http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925. I also downgraded to iTunes 10.3 since my issue didn't start until after the 10.4 update. May not be related but oh well....You will have to restore your old iTunes Library file (*.itl) if you downgrade.

How am i ment to use "find my i phone" when my iphone has not yet got icloud on it. What a waste of an app. Now need to get a new phone.
Easy... you install the Find My iPhone app > http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
You can use that app without iCloud and you don't need a new iPhone.

I see all of my calendar events in iCal and on my iPhone, but not in the iCloud web app. Any ideas why?
If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

Photos taken on my Iphone do not appear in ICloud. I've checked the settings but am unable to determine
what, if anything, I need to do inorder to syn the photos.
Technically, I need to review the settings on my Iphone and ICloud that will enable a seamless transfer of photos.
Additionally, I need to review the computer (microsoft)setting that enable a sync of photos with ICloud.Everything is fine, because there is no web application for photos at the moment. These are the options to view your Photo Stream:
-On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your photos will appear in the Photos app in the Photo Stream album.
-On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture.
-On a PC, your photos download to the Photo Stream download folder. By default, this folder is located at C:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
-On Apple TV, your photos will appear in the Photo Stream view under Internet in the main Apple TV menu after you sign in with your iCloud account.
