TS3992 Since updating to iOS 6, my iPad has not been able to back up to cloud.  I have more than enough storage,have deleted apps, tried manual back-ups, but back-up will not complete.  I keep getting messages to back-up, but NOTHING has worked.  Help!

My iPad will not back up to cloud inspite of trying everything mentioned.  I have more than enough space on device.  It was last backed-up on 12-12-12.  Have never had this problem before.  Keep getting messages that it needs backing up.  Have tried multiple manual back-ups for at least 24 hrs or more, but back-up will not complete.  Help!

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.

    Hi,
    Are you connected to a Wi-Fi network? If not this may be the reason why.

    The only available, signed, iOS, for your iPod, is iOS 7.1. That's why you can't install iOS 6.1.6.

    Hello, lee19760_0. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would delete the media that is giving you an issue and download it again by accessing your previous purchase.  The articles below will walk you through that process.

    Click here, then on View in Mac App Store, and try downloading it. If you're told that it's incompatible, no.

  • I'm trying to update my iPad but it says I don't have enough available storage. But I have more than enough can anyone tell me what the problem is?

    I'm trying to update my iPad but it says I don't have enough available storage. But I have more than enough can anyone tell me what the problem is?

    Well, we can't as we don't know what you consider as "more than enough". The built is quite heavy (like it can be 800mb) then it needs to be extracted to be installed before everything unneeded gets deleted...

    What is a user parameter list in iMovie? I am trying to sent the movie from imovie to idvd and I keep getting an error with the user parameter list. Help?

    Can you give more details?   What exactly is the entire error message text?  there should be an error number too.   Are you trying to finalize this to an external disk?

    That message is telling you that you do not have enough stgorage on the iPod to accomodate all the media you are trying to sync to the iPod.

  • About a month ago, I began periodically getting the spinning wheel while trimming, adding titles or transitions, etc.  It lasts for about 15 seconds and then goes away.  This seems to happen once every minute or two.  I have more than enough RAM/Power.

    About a month ago, I began periodically getting the spinning wheel while trimming, adding titles or transitions, etc.  It lasts for about 15 seconds and then goes away.  This seems to happen once every minute or two.  I have more than enough RAM/Power, etc.  About every other time I use FCPX it will spontaneously close (typically when editing a title).  None of these things were happening previously.  I have lots of projects that I store on Promise Pegasus drives via Thunderbolt.  I only keep a few projects and the associated events open in FCPX at a time, otherwise I use Event Managaer X to keep track of them.  Can anybody give me any suggestions as to why this is occurring and what I can do to remedy it?  I have the latest version of FCPX as far as I can tell.  This is driving me mad and costing me significant time while editing.  By the way, I am doing just basic editing.  Essentially trimming, cutting and adding some transitions and a few title screens.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    These apperarances of the spinning wheel tend to be related to some io operation that takes too long. Maybe the finder is trying to reach a network server that became unavailable.
    I would try clearing caches and do an overall maintenance with an utility like OnyX.
    Also, trashing preferences does no harm and is often the first troubleshooting measure when FCP X misbehaves.

  • Since updating to iOS 6, my iPad 2 keeps loosing connection with iTunes. I have tried changing the date, logging out then back in, iTunes is updated.....what's going on???? I can't update any apps nor can I download new ones.....

    What's going on with iOS6...... Since I updated to it, I have had nothing but hassles....

    Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
    If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
    If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • Issues with wifi since updating to iOS 6 on iPad 3.

    I'm having wifi issues since updating to iOS 6 on my iPad 3. I can't access certain sites and get error messages such as 'servor can't connect' and 'request timed out.' Although some sites work fine. I can't access apps which require internet such as facebook, iMessenger, face time and games which need internet access. I can't use iTunes or App store and get the message 'can't connect to iTunes try again.' All these problems started after I updated to iOS 6. I found that the iPad works fine at another location on a different wifi but not at home. The home internet is not the issue as laptops, phones and iPad 1 and 2 all work fine on the internet here. I took my iPad to the apple store with no help and no useful advice so came back again and they offered me a hardware swap which I took. I now have the new iPad but the issue still remains. I have tried everything and I have done everything that has been suggested. Some things I have done are reset network settings, reset all settings, changed wifi dns, changed HTTP proxy to auto, closed all apps and re-opened, fully shut down the iPad, turned off the wifi router and restored the iPad several times. I have searched for help and advice and found that there are many complaints about iOS 6 on the iPad 3 when it comes to wifi. What else is there for me to do to fix this problem? I can't use internet or apps that require internet, basically my iPad is of no use at the moment. Do I have to wait for a new software update which will address this problem?

  • Since updating to iOS 8 my iPad 4th Generation wont synch any media like music or movies, just artworks of the music I already have

    Since I updated to iOS 8 my iPad 4th generation my iPad wont synch any media like music, movies or TV shows. It always starts to synch like any normal iPad but just when its stars to transfer the movies, music or what ever new media I want to get on the iPad, it instantly restarts the synch, and the only thing it does is synch the artworks for the music and movies, but I does not transfer any media. I have restored my iPad 4 times, nothing different, I have reinstated iTunes on my PC 3 times, nothing changed and I dont know what to do.

  • When using working apple ID keep getting message cookies are disabled but they are enabled for visited and also tried always

    I gave an ipod touch 4 to my youngest son for his birthday.
    Installed iTunes and updated firmware to 4.3.5 (8L1); all OK
    Created Apple ID and can logon to this using computer.
    When using the working apple ID on the iPod however, keep getting message cookies are disabled. This after it directs to review the new accoutn info.
    But cookies are enabled for 'visted'. Also tried 'always'
    Also tried hard reset.
    Spent a whole day trying to get an apple dev working; still can't use any app.
    Needless to say my son is very disappinted (and so am I) :-(
    Is there any way to get this working, or should I simply ask for a refund?

    Head to Settings -> Safari and tap Clear History, Clear Cookies, and Clear Cache and see if that does any good.
    What happens when you rewiew the account info?  Do you verify the provided information?

  • I have joined I cloud. My Iphone and pc are matched to my icloud account. However, I have my old computer with my library which i have not been able to sync with I cloud or my ipod. Any suggestions

    I can not sync my old computer itunes library to my ipod or to icloud. I have the latest version of itunes, yet the button where you click for itunes match is not there. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    When you say you have the latest version, what is the specific version?  I only ask because I hear people say that all the time and they have no clue what version they have or what the latest version is.
    What happens when trying to sync the device with iTunes?
    What specific device and what version of iOS?
    iCloud alone is not syncing of music... what exactly are you trying to accomplish with iCloud?  Have you signed up for iTunes Match?  If not... there is no syncing of media via iCloud.
