When I try to back up iCloud on my iPhone 5, it will not complete, no reason given

I have backed up iCloud on my iPhone 5 many times but lately it won't complete. It goes for a while looking like it is working & then comes up & says it cannot complete, no reason given.

When I start the backup, it says there is 2.9 GB of space available. The times it would not complete, it never gave progress. I tried again this morning (7am) & it showed progress & I considered that an improvement. It is still plugged in ( noon ) & running (or appears to be) & says about 2 days left..... I will leave it a while & see what happens & then try your instructions if it still does not backup. I was reading the FAQs on this & it said something about deleting old photos that are on iCloud. I have moved all pics I want into iPhoto. If I delete old ones from iCloud, will it leave the ones in iPhoto?
Thanks!

I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

You won't be able to create a new iCloud account on your phone as the maximum number of accouts have already been created. Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

And it says "Itunes" has made an error, try again...with the coes -54 and -50. This means I canot ack up my iphone properly.

I have pages, numbers and keynote on my macbook pro, but when i try to use the apps on my new iMac it will not let me save

I purchased Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my MacBook Pro and iPad last year. I just purchased a new iMac for my wife and it came with iWorks. When I try to save a document on the iMac it tells me I must buy an iWorks serial number, but the App Store shows the applications as installed and will not process the request. How do I correct?

Did you pay for iWorks to come preinstalled on the iMac? Because it sounds like what you have is a trial version, which is why it is stating that you need to buy a serial number.
I suggest that you delete the entire trial iWorks suite. Once they are safely in the Trash where the Mac App Store can't see them, you can sign into your account on the MAS and download the MAS versions that you own a license to use.

When I try to long into Icloud my Apple ID is valid but not for ICloud account, how do I set up my account if I cannot sign in?

How do I set up my ICloud account when my Apple ID is not set up for ICloud?

You have to first create your account on an Apple device. You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID. You can only sign into an existing iCloud account on a PC. You first have to create your iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

When I try to open ANY of my creative cloud applications, they will not open.

I have tried multiple ways in, also rebooted my system. Please help me solve this problem, I have not been able to complete my work for days. I was hoping it would work when I came into work today...but still nothing.

Hello, I solved this problem, it was because a corrupt OOBE.
In Windows 8:
Go to C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Adobe
And rename the folder "OOBE" to "OOBE2" (or just remove it).
Then your application will launch correctly.
Hope it helps someone.

When I try to open Firefox, it shows in the tray, but will not open to desktop. This just started recently, and I removed Firefox and reinstalled it, to no avail.

I am afraid Spy Bot might have removed something necessary . . .

When I try to set my homepage to a specific website, firefox will not store permanently. I have to reset home page each time I open firefox. are there additional instructions in help to address this?

Each time I open firefox, it doesn't open to my previously set website (Yahoo). I have to reset the homepage each time I open firefox despite following the help menu method. I'm not able to locate a possible cause/solution on the help menu. pls advise

Please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://search.yahoo.com/search?p= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "''Copy Link Location''" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
