Why does an icloud backup password message pop up on my ipad?

In the past week every time I use the slider to unlock my iPad in the morning I get a message requesting my iCloud password for backup.  I do so, but in fact when I checked there has been no backup since 3/30. What gives, and how can I prevent this popp message.  I am willing to grant my password as a given for backup purposes but cannot find out where to do so.

I'm having the same problem. The concensus seems to be to delete the iCloud account and re-add it.

  • Why does my iCloud Backup think my 70 photos (no videos) are a 1.7GB backup?

    I got a message saying my iCloud backup is not going to fit in my free 5GB.  I went into my iCloud backup settings and found the Camera Roll was showing up at 1.7GB.  That's fine, I had four videos and like 250 photos.  Most of those were already moved into my laptop, so I deleted all the videos and all but 70 photos.  But when I check my iCloud backup settings, the Camera Roll still shows up as needing 1.7GB, and the next backup still will not fit. 
    The Camera Roll is by far the largest item in my backup, and I know if I can get it to accurately measure the space it's taking up, my backup will fit. 
    Any idea why 70 photos and no videos are showing up as needing 1.7GB for the next backup?

    An awful lot of people are having this issue and for once the solution is just good old fashioned patience after deleting photos, turning the feed off which will delete the history of the feed, then switch back once that has been done.
    Its taken me an hour to realise this lol !
    Thanks pvonk !!

  • HT5058 Why does the iCloud backup/restore save contacts from Exchange or CardDAV?

    We push MDM configurations to iOS users which include e-mail, contact, and calendar setups for the user to use. What we don't want is the user to have the ability to keep these on their phone if we do a remote wipe and don't activate/enroll their device in our MDM solution again. E-mail isn't touched on the iCloud backup so a restore doesn't put it back on, but contacts and calendar are backed up as part of the iCloud backup despite coming from the MDM configuration. This means our company data can reside on their personal backups.
    Is there a way to stop this from happening?

    iTunes only keeps one normal backup per iOS device, most likely because an iOS device backup can be 6GB's or more in size. Given the fact that many users sync daily, their hard drives would quickly fill up, with mostly useless iOS device backups, if iTunes kept a separate backup each time you synced.
    As for contacts, they are designed to be synced with a supported contact application on your computer or a cloud service. Relying solely on an iPhone backup as the sole depository of this data invites disaster. Had you been syncing your contacts, as designed, you wouldn't be in this boat.

  • Does the iCloud backup text messages?

    My father passed away toward the beginning of January and my phone is acting up. I have made sure that iCloud has backed up everything. I need to make sure that if I get a new iPhone, the messages will download from iCloud back to the phone. I believe when I got a replacement phone before it did this but since these are messaged of my father who is no longer with me, I need to make sure that it will. If I lose these messages, i will be devastated. I am also hesitant to update to the new software that just was released tonight because I don't want anything to glitch and lose these messages. Thank you for your help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes iCloud backs up your messages.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password

    is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password.
    I can get into my icloud but i cant remember the icloud backup password.

    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • I have my wallpaper/screensaver pointed at my iPhoto album. why does a photo of half dome pop up occasionally? where is the photo stored?

    i have an late '09 27" iMac upgraded to yosemite (I've accepted all upgrades from apple along the way). i have my alternating backgrounds & screensaver pointed at my iPhoto album. so why does a photo of half dome pop up occasionally? where is the photo stored? i have been to yosemite many times and do love the scenery there, but i'd like to be in charge of my screensaver. i've tried looking for the photo by name/name fragment,  but of course, if apple doesn't want us to find it, we won't find it. i don't like apple preventing me from setting up background/screensaver to my liking. apple makes the computer for the rest of us.

    You're welcome.
    have you noticed for yourself if these photos are always mixed with one's selection via system preferences?
    Actually no.  What I have always done was this:  I have a collection of custom desktop pictures   I made a custom folder for the pictures & placed them inside the Machintosh>Library>Desktop Pictures folder.
    Then I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screensaver>Desktop, clicked on the plus sign to add my custom picture folder. 
    Restarted my comp.
    Never had any issues by doing the above.  I have always done it this way since the Tiger OS.

  • Having problems doing an iCloud backup it keeps showing the estimated time thing but the blue load bar hasn't budged in over a half hour is there a way to correct this

    Having problems doing an iCloud backup it keeps showing the estimated time thing but the blue load bar hasn't budged in over a half hour is there a way to correct this

    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

    I've just successfully installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC (runs with Vista). Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?" The Bookmarks (with Safari) and Photo Stream options are active, but the Mail (with Outlook), Contacts (with Outlook),and Calendars and Tasks (with Outlook) are not. I'm using Office Outlook 2007.
