If you are experiencing issues with iCloud backup, do not fret. Here are some quick fixes and options that can help you resolve the problem on your iPhone, iPad or iPod.
Quick Fixes on Your iOS Device
The first step is to ensure that you have enough iCloud storage space. You get 5 GB for free, but if you need more, you can purchase additional iCloud storage. To check if you have enough space, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage. Delete or disable unnecessary items to free up space, and this may solve the issue.
An internet connection is also required for a successful iCloud backup. If you are having issues with your network provider or Wi-Fi router, try connecting to another Wi-Fi network. You can also reset your network settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Make sure that your iOS device is updated to the latest iOS version. Signing out and signing in again to your iCloud account, as well as restarting your iPhone, can also help fix many problems.
If the issue persists, you can delete a previous iCloud backup to ensure that the new backup runs seamlessly. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage, find the backup, and click on Delete Backup.
Use Third-Party Programs
Alternatively, you can use third-party programs such as AnyTrans to backup all your data and contacts. Download AnyTrans and connect your device to your computer. Click Content to Mac (or PC), select the categories you want to backup, and wait for the process to complete.
With these troubleshooting tips, your iPhone backup to iCloud should be up and running in no time.
