Why won't my iCloud back up?

I have iCloud on my phone and I wanted to back my phone up before I upgraded to the iOS 6. Everytime I go to back it up, it tells me that same thing everytime saying, "Not enough storage. Manage your storage in settings" But I've deleted over 500 photos, deleted useless apps so that I have more space but its still telling me the same thing. If I just upgraded to the iOS 6 without backing up iCloud, will all my photos that I haven't deleted and all my contacts and apps still be there?

First thing you want to make sure is that you are connected to wifi...icloud won't work if your iphone isn't connected to wifi..second you wan to check your icloud setting...go it setting then icloud (make sure your signed in), then click storage and backup at the bottom...on this page at the top you want to make sure you have storage...then you you want to back sure icloud back up is turned on (option is about mid way of page) once you do that at the bottom in blue you will see backup now click that

Why won't my iCloud back up? It will not progress past "estimating time remaining".

HT1766 Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--it spends hours saying "Backup in progress" and then it just fails?!

Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--- it spends hours showing "Backup in Progress" and then it just fails?! I have it plugged in next to the computer and I turn it off after hitting Backup but it never completes.... Should I just give up and try to get my money back?

I'm having the same problem with my iPad (3). It's been saying that my last backup was 10/11/2012. I have tried rebooting (holding down the home and start keys to reset) and then trying to manually do a backup to the cloud. I have tried deleting the iCloud backups for all apps & setting all of them to not be included in the cloud backup (thinking that maybe one of the apps might be hanging the backup up). I have now deleted the last iCloud backup. I guess I will wait & see if it performs its backup overnight or something. As mentioned above, it has consistently been 1) plugged in, 2) connected to a wifi network, and 3) been in lock screen mode. And yet it hasn't been backing up either automatically (iCloud Backup is set to "on") or if I touch 'Back Up Now'.
Here's something that's really annoying- these posts started last April but I see no sign that anyone from Apple Support has joined this conversation. (!!)

HT2417 Iphone model MC608LL. Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate?

Have 3G Iphone model MC608LL. Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate? Local repair shop said it was a software issue. AT&T store said to back it up and update OS version. Did all that. The switch still won't take it off vibrate.

- How did you delete it? If you used Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings without the iPod being charged you could have completely drained the battery.
- After charging for at least half an hour try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, after the charging above, place the iPod in recovery mode and try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Why is my iPhone iCloud back up so large?

My iCloud back up for my iPhone is 5.3 gb, yet I am hardly backing up any app data. Where is the rest of the data coming from?
Here is a list of things iCloud backs up
What do you think takes up the most space?
I deleted all of my messages and voicemails. My camera roll is relatively small and I have less than a gb of app data.
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll - 2 gb
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data - 70 mb
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS) - deleted
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails - deleted
What am I missing?
Re: My iCloud storage is over capacity and I can't figure out why

From what I understand the back up is a rolling back up and therefore the next back up will add to what is already there. I also understand that some items are backed up that can't be turned off in the management settings.

TS3274 screen won't respond, Icloud back up popup is also up

The screen on the ipad is locked and the Icloud back up popup won't disapear

Try this.
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.

Why won't my iCloud sign in?

After I properly use my Apple I.D. and password, I get this following message..
errorcom.apple,appleaccount.error.403
So, what does this mean and why is this keeping me from using the iCloud function of my phone? And of course, how do I resolve this bug!!!

Mudmessiah;
Error: com.apple.appleaccount error 403
Recreate Error: On a Iphone/Ipad device that has "already" created the maximum of 3 per device Apple limit of ICloud account creation attempt to create or login to ICloud service tab in Settings. You will be presented with "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" which does not tell the laymen anything useful.
Cause: IOS 7 reports a "best guess" error instead of detailed error explanation.
How To Resolve Error: Find a device that has not been used to create an ICloud account the maximum 3 times and use it to create the ICloud account by logging into the Settings/ICloud tab with the Apple ID you want a ICloud account created for.
Keep in mind this will use up one of the three lifetime allowed ICloud account creations allowed by Apple on that device.
Also per support: If an existing account is logged into the ICloud service. A. Backup phone using iTunes on a mac/pc. B. At bottome of Settings/ICloud Delete the account "AND" all the user date from the phone. It will offer the Delete all data option. The reason for Deletion(and is why we backed up on a pc vs. the cloud) is when you create the new ICloud account it will backup all of the Device owners information to the wrong persons account.
Once you have created the new ICloud account log into that account on device that was presenting error: "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" it should allow the ICloud login.
Once you have verified the "device with error" is ICloud functional delete the ICloud account from the device used to seed the ICloud account and delete again all user data from cloud. Restore the recently created mac/pc Itunes locally created backup to the phone and then go to Settings/ICloud and login with the device owners Apple ID and password and verify your backup to the ICloud settings and Eureka! your done.
It took less time to do that for me to type this lol.
NOTE: Original posted under poet68 id, that was me logged in as my customer. This was me "danowolf" discovery and solution developed with Apple support on the phone 9/26/2013
good luck Friend.

Try backing up and restoring from backup

Why won't my icloud restore my content?

My iPhone 4 backed up to icloud last night and i got an iphone 5 this evening.When i typed in my icloud information to restore my content, the only thing that downloaded to my phone was contacts from another iphone that shares my icloud account. Can someone please explain to me why this happened and how i can fix it?

Just typing in info does not restore from icloud backup, you need to wipe your phone and restore from icloud backup of iphone 4 using instructions here - under "how to restore from icloud backup"

Why won't my iCloud email address set up on mac mail?

Been trying to use my iCloud alias email address by setting up iCloud on my mac mail. It connects iCloud but says the password is wrong for the icloud address...but it's just my AppleID password.
Tried setting up as account 'other' and enetering the settings from here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864 but still saying password not correct.
Driving me mad!!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

Why won't my iCloud email account work on iPhone 4?

Having problems getting my iCloud email account to work properly within iOS 5 on my iPhone 4. It works perfectly on iCloud.com and Mac OS X Mail and started to work on my iPhone, but since approximately 3 days ago it won't sync or download new messages. I've tried the fix guide provided by Apple and all I've accomplished is to delete all of my folders and messages downloaded prior to when it stopped working. I have also tried restoring the iPhone to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?

So, it turns out that iCloud mail does work on my iPhone, just not through a certain wifi hotspot.
Feel quite idiotic now...

Why won't things go back on Dock?

I accidently took i photo off my dock. I want i photo back on my dock but it won't stay on????????How do i get it to stay there?
Also how do I move photos on to e mail other than i mail or a site I wish to display pics like on my own website or others??????????As it is I can't send e mails via i mail anyway it won't let me, can't figure it out at all???????

Hello kevin:
The items on the dock are pointers to the programs, not the programs themselves. Open applications. Drag the iPhoto icon to the dock. It should remain on the dock. If it does not, trash the preference file (com.apple.dock.plist) and restart.
I am not sure I understand your question. If you want to move photos someplace, however, select the photos and then export them (I send mine to the desktop). After that, you can move/send them anywhere you wish.

Why won't time machine back up my computer?

Message was edited by: Linda K. Kadota My last back up was over 12 hours ago. I want to upgrade my computer with a new hard disc, so I removed Microsoft office, and now my computer will not work with Time Machine. I intended to take this computer into the shop 8 hours ago. Does anyone know what is wrong? I'm using OS X Mavericks 10.9.2.

In order to clone my hard drive, I would have to go out and buy another external hard drive. I have five obsolete drives sitting on the floor under my desk. I'm not really interested in going out and buying another new drive after spending a lot of money on a Time Capsule that is supposed to do the job--make that 3 Time Capsules.
If it were a corrupt file on the computer, why does the problem occur with all my computers running Mavericks (2) and doesn't occur on computers running Snow Leopard (2)? Unless the corrupted file came from Apple when I downloaded Mavericks, I don't see how the same problem could occur on both computers. (And the Apple tech person here in Japan admitted to me that others have complained of the same problem).
Actually, today is only the second time TM has failed on the computer I'm now using. It has failed repeadedly on my newer computer since November, 2014, and the release of iTunes 11.
I ended up doing a clean install of my new computer after the hard disc failed, but it is still acting buggy.
I'm curious about your offer to help. Do I need a couple of screwdrivers to do a clone back up? Or do I need the screwdrivers to replace my hard drive? I don't know how to do a clone back up, but I assume that I just need the right software program and a second drive. I will have the Apple Tech people replace my drive for me, so don't need to know how to do that. I've seen it done once and that was enough to convince me to leave the task to experts.
