Weekly Manual Backup
I did a 1st backup, a complete backup, to a new external hard drive.
Then I turned off Time Machine.
If I backup manually once each week what will be backed up?
Thanks in advance,
Alan

it will do an incremental backup of all changes occurred compared to the last backup.
Thanks in advance,

I have this message on my iPad and the device hungs. I cannot do anything with it, including powering off.
"This Ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happens when this Ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?
Many thanks/JeremyThe system error basically should lead to the culprit of your issue. iCloud will ONLY automatically back-up to the cloud if all of the following are met:
1) iDevice is plugged in to the wall outlet/power source.
2) iDevice is connected to a WiFi network; iCloud does not back up over 3G/DATA networks to limit the data caps on most carries nowadays.
3) iDevice has been locked and innactive - usually takes place when one is sleeping.
Make sure all three of these are in fact in effect. If you are noticing that it has gone 2+ weeks unable to backup automatically, I would recommend navigating to the iCloud settings panel on your iPad.
Tap on Settings -> iCloud
On this screen I would advise for you to scroll all the way to the bottom and selete Delete Account.
*THIS WILL NOT DELETE YOUR BACKUPS, JUST REMOVE THE ACCOUNT ASSOCIATION FROM YOUR iPAD**
After this has gone through, sign back into iCloud and manually do a backup by selecting Storage & Backup and scrolling down to select the Back Up Now option. Once this is complete, use your iPad as you would. Over the course of the next few days, go back to where that Back Up Now option was and below it you will see when the last backup was done. This should be changing almost daily if the mentioned measures earlie in my response have been met.
Should this not solve your problem then due let me know. But to my knowledge, this has solved my iCloud issues with my iPhone 4S and my iPhone 5. -
I have an Icloud back up error. It will not let me shut off the device or do anything. It is locked. The error is: This iPad has not been backed up for 2 weeks. Backups happen when it is plugged in, locked or connected to Wi-Fi.
Please help me get this working again.
Thank you.

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your iPad restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup to make a manual backup -
Received an error code -50 during manual backup?
Please advise.
I received this error while performing a manual backup to support my Time Machine back ups ... I was copying files to a Seagate GoFlex for Mac drive. This is a 1TB drive interfaced with FireWire 800 connection. On ocassion for no apparent reason, it loses its connection to the FW port (which I intend to take up with Seagate this week); however, as was not the case during this copy process, I am befuddled with this error message.
I researched the (XCode) document in the Library/.../.../.../MacErrors.h, which stated this is some sort of "parameter error". As I did not enter any parameters and simply dragged the contents of the Mac HD Applications folder to a manual folder created on the portable drive, I am curious if I need to be concerned my files did not copy accurately.
I receive the following "Copy" pop-up with an OK button as my only option:
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).
Any suggestions, reassurance and/or feedback would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance for your input.
Sincerely,
Wynne Hunkler

Can't see recent backups when trying manual backup or restore
My iphone crashed the second day I had it (2 weeks ago). I immediately did a restore from the summary page in itunes. I have since had other problems caused by an application. All apps and functions working fine right now, except at this point I see no other backups listed other than the one done on the second day when I look in the backup list accessed by starting the MANUAL restore process. I don't even see any manual backups I have performed. I synch my iphone once or more per day. Because of this (I think) I am losing all app data whenever I have to restore after crashes because I can't choose a more recent backup to restore from. I just did a manual backup and it's not in the list. Help!!!
As Allan stated, there is only one backup kept during normal syncing. The backup created when you restore a device is separate from the one created when the device is synced. The backup created prior to a restore is marked in the syncing preferences of iTunes with the date and time when the backup was created. If you manually initiate a backup, I'm not sure which one that overwrites (it may, in fact, overwrite both).

The following message appeared on my iPAD:
"This iPad hasn't been backed up in 6 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi". This is strange because the iPad is plugged in each night and automatically connects to Wi-Fi.
Now even though I press OK nothing is happening. It seems to have gone into a freeze mode. I tried to switch off the iPad but it would not allow the red arrow to "slide to power off". What can be done to rectify the problem?You be sure the iphone is plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. Then a backup will be attempted. Or, you can manually do a backup inside...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, turn on iCloud backup and tap the Manual button. -

How do I manually backup to both my pc & icloud via itunes?
When I plug my phone in and open itunes, there's a backup section with both icloud and my computer listed.
I want to be able to make a manual backup in both places (you can't be too careful! :-).
I can freely checked either my computer or icloud, and then click the sync button, but I must be missing something else.
What are the relevant Settings that must be selected on the phone?
Does the phone have to be on/active?
What do I need to do in itunes to back up first to one place and then to the other place?
I'm not getting prompted to enter my icloud login/pw--is that a clue to what's not working...Well, t'uh! (insert apple rant here)
Maybe someone will come by later and explain that bit to us. At least for now, I can mostly do what I want, although it's rather awkward and kludgy.
Thanks for the info, both of you, I appreciate it.

I recently purchased an I-Pad mini. It has an error message that states, 'this ipad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi. When i press on OK, nothing happens. The ipad is locked and i can only access SIRI, so i asked SIRI to open settings and i can see my Wi=-FI, but can't see if it's actually connected. I locked it, plugged it in, and hoped that it would fix itself.
i don't know how to get rid of the error message and the ipad mini won't respond to anything except SIRI....
Please help..
thanks

My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop
The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

The iPad makes a backup into iCloud automatically when it's connected to the network and it is been charged -
