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)

  • ICloud "Back Up Now" won't work.

    No error message. Using iPhone 4 with iOS 5. Tried my gmail address and me.com addess with same results. Turned on "Back up to iCloud" in iTunes.

    I had the same problem.  For my solution, see this post

  • Back & forward buttons won't work after going full screen   

    I have a Logitech cordless mouse. When ever I'm watching a
    video, like on You Tube, and I go to full screen, my mouse
    back/forward buttons won't work, and I have to re boot my computer.
    I have tried every thing Logitech told me to do, but still have the
    problem. They think it's a flash player problem. I saw that one
    other person in the forums has the same problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks, Shawn.

    I can't find the preferences section of itunes. where is it because it isn't at the very top of the screen and I didn't see it anywhere else. i hasn't told me that the back-up is corrupted so I don't know about that. I just know that it always comes up with the error message 50 when I try to get the back-up restored to it.

  • My Ipod updated and now won't work

    Pior to this, it was working fine. I connected my Ipod and as usual Itunes sync'd and advised that there was a software update. I updated the software and it installed and now my Ipod won't work. It had a darkened screen with the battery showing, the date on top has changed by skip forward a day, the spoked wheel showing processing is displayed but isn't moving. It seems to be frozen and not responsive to any touch. I tried to reset it as per the website by holding the on/home button for 10secs and it kepted getting locked onto the apple logo and nothing else. I restored it and it took ages and appeared with the same screen and then it seemed to come good. Except all my music and photos are gone and its now frozen on the music screen with no options, just a white screen. It chimes like its on the charger and displays the charging icon on the top, even when its not plugged in. It won't reset again either (home/on) it's just staying on that screen.
    I only just got it in Sept 10 so its only four months old and this only started happening after the update to 4.2.1. What's going on?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    try to connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then restore "as new ipod" without using the last backup to restore your data and settings from, it may contain corrupt data.

  • Sync with .mac never seemed to work great, now won't work at all

    sync never seemed to work that well for me, now it won't work at all. I get the following message now:
    .Mac Sync Error
    A failure occurred while synchronizing the .Mac Sync Client.
    I've tried reseting all the .mac stuff, but nothing seems to work now. Its pretty frustrating. Plus, while mac support in the store and over the phone is superb, .mac support online is a joke. Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?

    With the exception of a framework reset, iSync no longer has anything to do with .Mac synchronization, which is instead handled exclusively by .Mac Sync.
    I would start with a search of this forum for the error messages you describe:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    Some of the same users who answer questions here regarding iSync, also do that there for users of .Mac Sync.

  • IPhone 4S fell on some water, was working but now won't work. I got a replacement coming. Can I use the old Sim card in the new phone if it wasn't damaged? Will I get my pictures and contacts and messages back if it wasn't damaged?

    My iPhone 4S accidentally fell into a very shallow bit of water. The phone was wet, but worked afterwards for a short bit. Now it's not working, so I called and got a replacement phone coming. Same exact phone. Can I use the old Sim card in the new phone without harming anything? I don't know if the sim card got messed up or not, but I had a lot of pictures and messages and my contacts on my phone, and I assume these were on the sim card or am I wrong? I just wan to know if I can use the old sim card if it's still working in the new phone that is coming, as long as there was no damage to it? Thanks

    I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
    Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

  • My ipod home button has pushed in to far and now won't work, any suggestions in how to get it back up or should I take it to the apple store?

  • IPhone overheated now won't work or even start

    My IPHONE over heated from being in the car. Now it won't start. I tried rebooting it, but it wouldn't reboot.  The message on the IPHONE says to connect it to ITunes, but ITUNES wants to restore it, erasing all its data. Is there any way to save the data I have on my IPHONE?

    If iTunes is prompting you it requires to restore the device then this will need to be done in order to fix up the phone being in Recovery Mode.
    If a backup is present (you can check under Preferences -> Devices -> Backups within iTunes) then you can restore this backup to your restored iPhone to recover data. However if there is no backup listed then you will still need to restore the iPhone in order to get it working.

  • Macbook Pro and Monitor help - Now won't work??

    Ok so I have been using my i7 Macbook Pro 15" with a Dell Monitor fine.. but then started to get the odd flickers.. I was told this was a Mac issue and many many people had this..
    Now when I plug in, my Monitor defaults to the orange standby light and it won't come on at all when connected to the Mac??!
    I am using DVI with an Apple Thunderbolt adaptor so i can use the Thunderbolt connection on this newer MBP.
    I took the monitor off the Mac and connected via DVI to a PC Laptop and the Monitor sprang into life and works great!!!
    So I know its not the Monitor
    Any solution to making this work again on the Mac????

    Hi,
    Could you please confirm the CC application you are using.
    It would be great if you post a screenshot of the problem.

  • Iphoto froze and now won't work after restarting... help

    I uploaded pictures to my MacBook earlier today, and while editing them, iphoto froze. I restarted my laptop and when I opened iphoto, it comes up, but doesn't show anything and gives me the rainbow circle meaning its trying to load. I have restarted my laptop many times now to try to get it to work, and it does the same thing everytime.
    I have a MacBook, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. It normally works fine, till I was editing today. Please help!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
    TD

  • New connection, now won't work

    We've been using the Airport Extreme with a DSL hookup for the last year or two and everything has been working fine. Today we switched to iO cable and I can't get the Airport to work. I don't know if I have something wired wrong or what...
    On the back of the Airport I have the power cord plugged in, and I have the wire going from the back of the cable modem's ethernet port to the Airport's ethernet port. Nothing goes into the computer itself at the moment except the phone wire which goes from the Mac to the cable modem. My book says I should use the Airport's Internet port since it's coming in via cable, but I'm not sure...I tried both that port and the Airport's ethernet port and neither works. If I plug the cable modem directly into the Mac's ethernet port, I can connect, so I know it's coming in that way.
    When I go to the Airport Set Up utility, it first tells me I don't have an Airport card and that I'll need to connect via ethernet. If I click continue, I have to choose between 'set up new station' or 'change settings on existing' -- I've tried both, and no matter which I pick, the box comes up with no base station in the list. When I try 'scan again' nothing happens.
    Any ideas for what I could be missing -- a connection I've mixed up or something? If I don't get my daughter's computer running again, I'll be in the doghouse, even if we DO have cable now
    We have an eMac OSX 10.3.9

    When changing network configurations, it's a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of all of your network components ...
    Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • IPad 4 iOS 7.0.4 update ?? Now won't work.

    Downloaded update over wifi, worked fine on my phone, now after updating iPad, turns on to apple screen then goes to a black screen with iTunes logo and charger. (I assume it's asking me to plug it into my computer). Problem is I don't have one. How can I fix this?  Tried to restart to no avail.  Thanks in advance.

    I also tried the update to 7.0.4 (over wifi) this morning and it would not install. I contacted Apple support and they were wonderful but the bottom line is that my iPad is trashed.
    We reset the iPad and connected it my computer to do the update. The woman I spoke with in tech support gave me her direct line and once the update was complete (took about an hour) I called her back. We spent a good amount of time trying to figure out why I kept getting an error message that my iPad was an undetected device.
    After a total of two hours on the phone this morning, I am sending my iPad back to Apple and they are going to send me a replacement. Just got it in late August so it is barely 3 months old.
    Very frustrating and I sure feel for anyone who experiences this problem after their iPad warranty has expired. BTW, I updated my iPhone this morning (before I updated the iPad) without any issues. Go figure.

  • Faulty back and now doesn't work.

    I dropped my iPad which cracked the screen and damaged some of the back. So i took it to John Lewis (where i bought it from) and they told me to send it to a company and they can fix it. I sent it off and then received it back within a month. They fixed the glass on the front but they also replaced the back aluminium cover with the same design back, but the apple logo is much bigger and the writing at the bottom (made in china etc.) is in feint writing instead of the usual black. We're not too bothered about this, but now, the iPad will only work when plugged into the mains and then immeditaley switches off as soon as it is unplugged. I am not sure what to do about this. Can i take it to an Apple Store? my only worry is they wont fix it becuase it doesnt have the original back

  • The non-email address apple Id I have had for years, now won't work.

    I have had an Apple ID for a long time and it has always worked on every Apple device I have until recently.  This Apple ID was noot my email address just a random nickname.  I just recently downloaded the latest software update and about the same time my password for my old Apple ID stopped working at once for all of my gadgets as if it never existed.  When I tried to update my apps a box appears that says "You can't update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software"   I tried to use the feature "Forgot my password" to which I was redirected by ITunes but it asked for my date of birth for the purpose of verification and even though I answered it correclty 2-3 times, it told me that it was not the correct one. 
    Then I tried to log in using my account primary email, restoring the pasword for that email and then it worked fine.  Now I can log in using that email address as my Apple ID but it seems like my old Apple ID, that I have purchased everything, is lost in limbo.  The old password and new password for my non-email address Apple ID doesnt work, and when I request for an Email Authentication to be sent to my email for the old Apple ID, no email arrives.
    Since I have all of my information attached to my old Apple ID, and I cant log in, I can't update anything and its telling me I have to re-buy everyting. 
    Any ideas why this is happening and how I can get my old apple ID to work again?

    Did you previously use MobileMe with that ID?  If so, did you correctly migrate from MM to iCloud at mobileme.com?
