TS3992 So how do I activate iCloud Backup if the "activate" slider is disabled?

Yes. asked this question now for a few times and think must ask it over and over until someon from Apple reads this and tries to fix the problem.
Is this allways the way Apple gives support?
I wonder how apple could get that rich when everything works "so fine".
Is is allways that horrible for people who are "experts" with other computers, working with computers for over 30 years and thinking in "bits and bytes" and semiconductors.
And why are apple products "olute so easy" for people who are absolut noobs with computers, video recorders and technology at all?
I think I am gonna to give this iPad thingy back and get a windows  or android tablet.

Yeah, Apple support did answer. But they only linked me to their "Troubleshooting creating an iCloud Backup" site, that tells nothing about real problems.
Well the point with the PROFILES was a very good point.
I thought about that previously but never analyzed it.
As I use the iPad private and for business there is a profile from my company whish has restrictions: "No icloud backup", even I have turned restrictions on. The profile gets active, as soon as I connect to my companies WLAN.
This is to hold up- and downstream bandwiths low.
So have to find out how I can create a "home" profile and activate that when I am outside.
Thanx
But: Where on ****, or in which Apple-documentation I would have found that?

How can I cancel ICloud back for the stolen phone, as I cannot delete the stolen phone backup (says that backup is being in use) and this is keeping memory occupied in the Cloud and I cannot back-up the other devices.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    Be aware that photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving and that relying on a restore from an icloud backup may not return all (or any) of your photos.  Once on the computer, you can sync the photos to the new device...

  • HT4859 how do i restore icloud backup to existing iphone not a new device

    how do i restore icloud backup to an existing phone not a new device

    You need to perform a reset (settings>General, scroll to bottom of screen).  This will delete everything on the device.  Then connect to iTunes and it will offer to perform a reset from either iTunes backup or iCloud.  Take it from there.

  • HT4859 How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

    How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

    I have HughesNet satellite for an ISP with a capped amount of Internet capacity. How can I use iCloud but adjust the time it is on to conserve my Internet allowance and not have to back up my information all the time?

    Thanks Roger W1,
    Yes, I was using iTunes to sync over cable without problems since orinigal purchase in 2011 and using 10.6 w/o problem. There was an "update" in Nov 2012 that crashed the sync service. I went to the Apple Store and reviewed the problem with the Geniuses there. It was discovered at that time that the update included mandated use of iCloud but enough of the un-updated code remained that he was able to patch functions to allow Microsoft Office to still sync over iTunes.
    This March (+/-) there was another "update" to 10.6 that totally destroyed the patch that was in place so there was no sync service available between Microsoft and iTunes what-so-ever. Then recently, because of some unknown process, all my notes, contacts, and calendars were erased in both my Apple utilities and Microsoft utilities.
    After many hours of frustration I was able to recover most of the information to the Apple utilities only, but those were unstable. At my visit to the Apple store it was suggested that an upgrade to 10.8 might solve the stability problem. That it did but being connected to the iCloud all the time keeps using up all my Internet time and I have nothing left to check emails or do research.
    This, to me, is not my problem but one created by Apple. I have searched the Internet and support groups and there doesn't seem to be a solution.
    The "aircraft mode" turns off all other communication functions and is not acceptable. Neither is disconnecting/turning off Airport on my MBP.
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • How to restore an iCloud backup?

    If I've already restored my phone as new can I later restore my iCloud backup or do I have to start the whole process over again and restore from the backup at the beginning?
    Thanks.

    You can only restore the iCloud backup during the initial setup, so open Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. During the setup, it will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from iCloud and follow the steps

  • I am unable to restore from iCloud backup because the new phone has iOS 8.1.2 and the old phone has iOS 8.2? Any help.

    I Have just bought an iPhone 6 and want to restore my iPhone 4s via iCloud backup to the new iPhone 6. The setup of the iPhone 6 halted because according to the new phone it has iOS 8.1.2 whereas the backups were stored using iOS 8.2 following my updating of the iPhone 4S recently. How do I jump through this hoop? How do I update the new phone to iOS 8.2 without serring it up first? Anyone, please help?

    Update the new phone to the same version that has been used to create the backup. In your case, the new device has to run 8.2 to be able to use the backup made with the other device.
    Setting it back to factory settings will install the newest version and after that you can use the backup made under 8.2
