Why does my iphone say it has never been backed up

my iphone says it has never been backed up, or last back incomplete or back up failed, yet my icloud will say it has been backed up. why is this happening?

Did you ever get an answer to this?  My phone started saying this over six months ago..it says it has never been backed up and icloud doesn't have enough storage.  I don't even have ANY music and only about 100 pictures.  I sync it to my computer all the time and when I do it says it's completely up to date.

  • Why does the iphone say it has 16 gb but when i plug it in it shows 26.2 gb with only a capacity of 13.4gb?

    ok guys i have done my fair share of reading and i am so lost. on my box it says i have a 16 gig iphone 4 verizon white. my question is everytime i plug my phone in it pops up with a little tiny AutoRun icon and i hit open files. well it shows that i have 13.4gb of 26.2gb. but in iTunes it only shows my phone with 13.4 with 12 available for apps and music. why is it that my phone realy has 26 gigs and i can only access half of that?
    Is my phone realy using 13gb just for software? that is way to much for me. any body else see this, what about any fixs or what not?

    There's no way a 16GB model phone has more than than capacity.  I have no idea what you mean by AutoRun icon.  Is that an app you downloaded?  Did you jailbreak?
    The "advertised" capacity of all storage devices is based on a decimal definition of "Gigabytes" where 1 GB is defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes.  However computers see and calculate storage based on binary definitions where 1 GB = 1,073 742,824 bytes.  Thus a 16 GB "decimal" device is only 14.9 real, binary gigabytes.
    Also, there are additional loses due to formatting overhead and the iOS.  RAM memory is separate and not used from the supplied flash disk.

  • HT3887 why does my iPhone say device not supported when connecting to my make even after it has successfully paired?

    why does my iphone say device not supported when connecting to my mac pro, even though it has already succesfuly paired? I also use a wirless bluetooth keyboard and mouse on the computer successfully.
    Also when I turn Bluetooth on on the phone the devices cog never stops turning (forever serching for a device)

    iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer.
    It couldn't be much easier than that as you don't actually have to do anything more than normal.
    This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    USB syncing is far faster than Bluetooth.

  • Why does my iPhone say it doesnt have any more storage?

    My phone had about 250-300MB of free space.  Then, I synched it with my computer.  It said I had to delete some stuff because it didnt have enough room to synch.  So I deleted about 1GB of apps, and as part of the synch, I updated 2 apps that were around 50MB combined.  Keep in mind these are basically replacing apps that were already on the phone.  Now, it still says I dont have enough room to put them on my phone, and iTunes is telling me I am 314MB over capacity.  If it all fit on there before, and I only put 50MB on there but I took 1GB off, how is this possible?  I have an iPhone 5 and the latest version of iTunes.

  • HT4993 Why does my iphone say activation error

    Why does my iphone say activation error

    Because you are running an unauthorized version of the beat software for iOS 7. Or you are a legitimate developer and there is an issue with your last update. You will need to go to the developers section to fix it if that is the case.
    If you are not a developer contact the developer who got the beta for you.

    Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

    I have a 5 and got the message that the "software update is not available at this time. Try again later". Everyone is jamming the server trying to update at the same time. I'll try later this evening. Scary about the problem people are having after the update. They are saying their phones need to be re-activated. My IPhone is my only phone. Good luck everyone!

  • HT1766 Why does my iPhone say I don't have enough storage even after I went into iTunes to delete over 25 apps. Say what?

    Why does my iPhone say I don't have enough storage even after I went into iTunes to delete over 25 apps. Say what?

    I would guess it is that you do not have enough space.  For what, I have no idea, as you have done little to explain your issue.

  • ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later AND Your iPhone has never been backed up to this computer AND always Not Responding

    First: I get the message telling me that "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later."
    Second: In the Summary Tab under Backups, iTunes is telling me that my iPhone has never been backed up to my computer - which is not true. It's also telling me that my iPhone has never been backed up to iCloud. Again, not true. Although my backups are all missing from iTunes, I can see what I think is them in their folder: C:\Users\*your user name here*\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync.
    Third: iTunes is SLOOOOOOOOW. It takes nearly ten minutes - sometimes more - to launch, and when it does, it's constantly not responding. It seems every time I touch something it stops responding.
    Fourth: I've been searching this "help" forum for a solution, and I've seen many other references, yet the only suggestion I've seen from someone from Apple is a reference to a solution that is over 2 years old - and DOESN'T WORK for anyone I can see who's tried it!
    I've tried everything I could think of, and that others have suggested, including:
    Uninstalling and re-installing iTunes
    Ensuring I have the latest version of iTunes
    Re-setting sync history
    Renaming my Backup folder at the path above, and letting iTunes create a new one
    Running around the house whilst pulling my hair and yelling obscenities
    None helped. At all.
    Hmmm... Been a devoted Apple/iOS guy for years, but maybe it's time to switch to Android?

    I've resolved the issue with iTunes constantly not responding. It's a bit embarrassing. I had a DVD in the drive that was corrupt, and once I was able to remove it - BAM - iTunes ran perfectly.
    I'm still getting the Sync Services message, and my backups are still not showing in iTunes.
    Getting there.... I hope!

  • HT1766 hi, i just tried backing up my iphone on icloud but th option to 'Back Up Now" doesnt work. when i tap on it, nothing happens. Im worried because my iPhone has never been backed up before

    hi, i just tried backing up my iphone on icloud but th option to 'Back Up Now" doesnt work. when i tap on it, nothing happens. Im worried because my iPhone has never been backed up before. Please help

    Reset the phone then try it again: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • HT1766 My iPhone and my computer both tell me I have never backed up my iPhone to iCloud, when I have numerous times.  I get this message:  Your Phone has never been backed up to iCloud.  Today at 3:11pm. Even after I run 'backup now'

    I have recently been experiencing problems with my iPhone and iCloud backup.  My iPhone tells me I have not backed it up to iCloud in over 4 weeks, when in actually it was 2 days ago.  So I plug my phone into my laptop and click - 'Back up to iCloud'. It runs and when complete, it tells me 'Your iPhone has never been backed up to iCloud.'  Even I after I have just completed the function. 
    Can someone help shed light on what the problem is?

    To backup to iCloud, you actually backup on your phone, not your computer. To backup to iCloud, you MUST be connected to wifi. While on wifi, go to Settings> iCloud (sign into iCloud if you haven't yet)> Sorage & Backup> Backup Now. You get 5GB of complimentary iCloud storage. For most people, that's enough. iCloud backup stores app data (game progress, login, etc), contacts, calendars, notes, and photos. The apps themselves and your music can be retrieved in the iTunes and app stores for free again by going to the purchased area.
    Hope this helps!
