TS4036 Is there anyway to backup my iPhone with iCloud directly on my computer?

My iPhone screen is broken and I can't access my iCloud backup settings on there. Is there anyway I can do it via my computer?
Thanks so much!

Sorry, didn't realize you were trying to access you settings via your computer to enable backing up to iCloud.  But now that you have a backup on your computer is there a reason that you want to back up to iCloud too?  I assumed you were trying to back up your phone prior to having it fixed or replaced.  You can use the backup you made in iTunes now to restore from if you need to get your phone repaired or replace.
If you still want to turn on iCloud backup you can connect your phone to iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, under Backup select "Back up to iCloud", then sync your phone.  I believe this will turn on iCloud backup on your phone.  I'm not completely sure as I turned in on in Settings.  After doing this, you can connect it to your charger and wi-fi and hope that it's backing up to iCloud.  Unfortunately there's no way to be sure since you can't access Settings on your phone to verify that it backed up to iCloud successfully.  That's why the safest thing to do at this point is back up in iTunes; that way you know it backed up.

  • Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

    Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

    If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
    And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
    To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
    It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

  • Is there anyway to connect my iPhone to the internet through my computer's WiFi?

    Basically I live in an Army Barrack Block and I use an internet service in my room called Wifinity. I pay for this monthly and it allows me for up to two devices to connect to the internet. The two devices are my Macbook Pro (late 2010) and iPad (3).
    If I connect my iPhone to the internet it cancels either my iPad or Mac out and I have to phone them up to change it back round.
    What I was hoping to know is:
    If I have my Macbook connected to the Wifi, is there anyway I can share that Wifi to my iPhone (either by Wifi, Bluetooth or USB). I have been searching a bit online and haven't had much luck. I have also been playing around with the sharing settings in System Preferences but again, no luck.
    The internet service I use is only Wifi, I can't connect it via ethernet or anything else.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    I've never been able to do that, even after a lot of fiddling and searching.
    Razmee's suggestion is to take a an Iphone and use cellular to create a hotspot to connect another device and that will provide it access to the net.

  • My wife has a new Ipad and Iphone with icloud. We also have a Imac that has not been upgraded yet that is somehow syncing with her ipad and screwing up the apps. Is there anyway to prevent this. Maybe it is thru mobilme?

    I think iCloud isn't coming until this fall and not until iOS 5 is publicly available. Right now there is confusion because all this stuff is still in beta and things are under NDA and may still change.
    I'd just set the 3GS up the same as currently. When iOS 5 is available in the fall (and I don't think Apple has specified beyond "fall"), before you update, there should be any number of guides to setting things up and how it will all work. http://macworld.com is a good place to look for such information.

    Delete your most recent backup in iTunes (iTunes Preferences>Devices, click on the backup, click Delete Backup), if using a PC click Reset Sync History (also in Devices), then close iTunes, restart your device, connect your device again, open iTunes and try syncing again.

  • I can't turn off find my ihone, always show "there was a problem when canceling the registration of this iphone with icloud" please help me. i can't restore my iphone before turn off find my iphone

    i can't turn off find my ihone, always show "there was a problem when canceling the registration of this iphone with icloud" please help me. i can't restore my iphone before turn off find my iphone

    If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.  When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again.  If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

  • There was a problem deregistering this  iphone with icloud

    hi...
    i have big problem with this
    i have iphone 6 plus...i did mistake and i created new icloud account with my phione and i forget to active it but i inserted inside of my iphone..
    the find my iphone is on..
    now i activated my icloud account but it tell my no device connected but it is still in my iphone and when i want to sign out
    from my phone it tell me :
    there was a problem deregistering this
    iphone with icloud.
    try deleting your account again
    what can i do with this?
    i want to restore my iphone to latest version and i have this trouble.

    Backup to computer first and sync Apps to iTunes first!
    Restore in recovery mode will work, be persistent and retry
    Recovery restore challenges
    - computer didn't detect recovery iphone, attempted and failed 3 times
    rebooted computer then recovery restore worked
    - recovery restore was successful, unlocked, and iMessage/Facetime, Find My Iphone, ALL WORKS!
    Restore from backup challenges
    * Make sure you have plenty of harddrive space!
    - have to restore first then restore from backup, i did this incorrectly by restoring from backup and the find my iphone feature got stuck forcing me to recovery restore
    - each restore from backup attempt will copy the original backup and create another backup folder. My original was about 10gb, so it copied another 10gb onto my computer's harddrive
    - when i restore from backup, my computer ran out of space and errored out/failed.
    - I tried again to restore from backup then figured out where the backup data folder was and tried to transfer to external harddrive but not quick enough and failed again.
    - finally cleared the extra backup data files and restore from backup was successfull
    Missing apps from restore from backup
    - Downloaded all my missing Apps from APP store
    - I have 300+ apps and there are only 15 screen scrolls, have to organize before apps will populate and load, very difficult to organize now. Wished I had sync Apps first.
    Conclusion
    This process took me literally 20+ hours to correct and will probably take me few more hours to organize the apps into their respective folders...
    At least I got everything to work. Hope this helps!

  • How can I update backup of iPhone at iCloud without wifi?

    Hi Expert, Can anyone suggest how can I update backup of iPhone at iCloud without wifi? Wifi stopped working on my 4s after upgrade to iOS7. I have iTune backup but want to update at iCloud. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

    You can't. iCloud backups can only be done over wifi.

  • TS3992 I am not able to backup my iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed out on my phone. The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do?

    I am not able to backup my Iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed outon my phone.  The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do? I need to save my pics, info....etc, because I have to get another phone.

    Back up to your computer instead.  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.  Finally, save any photo stream photos to your camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  (You don't need to delete them from your phone afterwards unless you need the space.)
    If you're getting another phone, be sure to delete your iCloud account and turn off iMessage, FaceTime and Game Center before doing so.  (See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661).

  • Why does my phone keep saying "There was a problem deregistering this iphone with icloud?"

    Every time I try to restore my phone or completely erase everything on it, a box comes up that says "There was a problem deregistering this Iphone with iCloud." Why is it saying this and how can I fix it?!

    Try recovery mode to restore your phone:

  • There was a problem deregistring this iphone with icloud

    There was a problem deregistring this iphone with icloud?

    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Is there an option of synching Iphone with two itunes on different mac books ?

    is there an option of synching Iphone with two itunes on different mac books ?

    You can't sync it to two computers.
    But you can plug it into a second computer and add things or take things out of apps (under the app tab, scroll down).
    Also you can take photos off on a second computer.
    There are a few things you can do on a second computer.
    But not a sync.
