TS3992 my phone will not complete a back up to the cloud

I have tried and tried to do a backup to the cloud and my phone never completes the backup. I have 25GB cloud storage which is more than plenty. My phone is a 16GB 4s. I can start the back up before i go to bed and it still never completes

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.

  • My iPhone 4 will not complete a back up. Error - 5000 comes up

    Error 5000 appears after "preaparing phone for back up" completes. "Continuing will result in the loss of all contents of this phone" is the message. Phone will not complete a synch and iTunes often goes into "Not responding". I have repaired iTunes by downloading the software from Apple's website. No improvement.
    Can anybody offer a solution?

    This is a bad situation. Your iPhone is in a state which cannot be backed up, and the Restore will return iPhone to factory specs erasing it. You need to Restore your iPhone to get it working again. If you were experiencing problems before, maybe your iPhone is damaged. If still faulty, and you have Warranty or AppleCare take iPhone to Apple for evaluation. If no coverage and still faulty it may be time for new phone.

    My iPod 5th gen will not completely turn on it shows the apple symbol then shuts off I have restarted it and tried to plug it into my computer but cannot find it to restart it
    Its been like this for awhile and I can not fix it

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS3992 My phone will not backup to icloud.  I just keep getting  a warning that it has not backedup and it must be plugged in and locked to back up.  Help?

    I keep getting a warning that my phone has not backed up and that it needs to be plugged in, locked and connected to wifi to back up. I have tried many times, with all these conditions being met, but nothing.  Help!?!

    This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.  Then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
    If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail.  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 the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail 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.

  • My Phone Will Not Completely turn on

    I have had a Nokia E71 for over a year and a half now and it has worked great for that whole time, however about 3 days ago my phone would not turn on after I had it on the charger all night. If I use the power button to turn it on it gives the initial jolt like it is about to power up and the keys and screen light up and then nothing else happens. I have already bought a new phone, but I would love to fix this one or at least be able to get my contacts from it. If anyone could help me out with this it would be much appreciated.

    Hi mag191,
    Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
    Have you tried connecting the phone to Nokia Suite via USB? The phone should connect automatically, if it doesn't respond immediately press on the square select key on your phone and see if you can establish a connection. If you can, you should be able to sync your phone's data from here.
    As a last option you can take the phone to a local Care centre where the phone can get checked. Depending on the condition of the phone, they will be able to assist you with retrieving information off the device. 
    Hope this helps, let me know how you get on.

  • My phone will not  reset because it fell in the toilet

    my old iphone will npot reset since it fell in the toilet and i have to reset it before i send it back

    When an iPhone get submerged in water the last thing you want to do is try to turn it on.  The water could cause the electronics to short out and permanently ruin the iPhone.  Most people that drop their iPhone in water try to fully dry out the phone by fist trying to remove any water by airing it out and pouring it out.  Then they place it in a bag with rice and let it remain there for at least three days.  Then, and only then would you want to try and turn the iPhone on.  Many times it will then work, but unfortunately also frequently it still will not work properly and need service or replaced.

  • My charger switched off my iPhone and now my phone will not switch on unless connected to the charger. But, I cannot access wifi or my sim and the date and time resets. It does not connect to iTunes and freezes after five minutes

    It will not recognise sound and if I take it off the charger, it immediately switches off. I've installed iOS8 previously but nothing is working. Please help!!

    There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

  • Where did my contacts phone numbers go when i backed up to the cloud?

    When I backed up my iphone to the cloud my contacts phone numbers disappeared from my phone and the cloud.
    Can anyone help?

    Is back up and sync the same thing?
    No. Syncing transfers iTunes content to your devices. Backing up stores all data (minus iTunes content) that you have on your phone, and can be loaded onto a different device or reloaded onto an existing device.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Let the device power down and back up. Go through the setup screen and DO NOT select restore from iTunes backup. Instead, choose iCloud backup, sign in with your Apple ID and select the correct backup.
