How To Know When IPhone Erase Is Complete On Cloud
Jul 1, 2014
I gave my old phone to someone in another country but forgot to erase it first. Following the online directions I went into the cloud and initiated erase.
It said 11% complete. Then shortly after that it just said erase initiated - How do you know when it is fully erased?
Is there a prompt or something? Is there a general time it takes to fully erase it?
When I erase all content and reset my phone to factory standards it doesn't erase my contacts. Help I want to give it to someone else and obviously don't want my contacts in phone
I have just upgraded my MacBook Pro (Lion) to the Cloud but I haven't received the upgrade message on my iPhone (an old iPhone 3). What can I do to connect my iPhone to the Cloud?
When I attempt to back it up (locking it, making sure it's connected to WiFi, and plugging it into my laptop or the wall), it says something like "9 hours to complete backup," and doesn't complete the back up. What's going on? It's never had this issue before. Granted, it is a refurb (3rd one) that has carried with it the software issues of my original 4s (exceedingly annoying; it has all sorts of little annoying issues), but it has never continuously failed to back up.
I have a iphone 3GS and a iMac G5 running Tiger OS - how can I get a cloud and update the software? I can't afford to be buying new hardware and it would seem that my iphone is capable of creating and using a cloud. I have some music on the iMac but iTunes won't update to the new software (beyond version 9?) and hence I can't update the iPhone to the latest software.
iphone 4s ios 6 has too much old data stored on the cloud and cannot get ios 7 or back up don't know how to get it off, I have an Macbook my husband gave me he is no longer using.
Yesterday i lost most of my contacts in my phone. I logged onto the cloud today, they weren't there either. I've tried a few online tricks like turning on and off contacts in settings and selecting "back up contacts to phone" no luck.
I'm trying to backup my I-phone contacts and calendar to the "Cloud"I use Outlook on a PC and my phone has all the relevant data; however, when I log into www.icloud.com and my account,there are no addresses or calendar listings? I thought my phone was backing all this data up to the Cloud on a daily basis, what am I doing wrong? What is the procedure for getting the calendar and contact information from my phone to the cloud?
First off I'm brand new to the iphone ive been using android for the last 3 years in which this process is very easy but im having the worst time trying to figure out how to accomplish this task. I have a documents folder with a ton of sub folders & files that I want to sync or just import to my iphone without a cloud service & without spending hours importing each file. Sorry in advance if this is an easy task & I look stupid for asking but ive tried searching & cannot find a answer.
Info:iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1, Using Macbook Pro OSX Lion
How can I manage different devices on my account using the same cloud? I don't want each device to get, i.e. all my contacts, through the cloud. I heard a story of two people on the same account using the cloud and they got each others contacts and when they were deleted off of one phone, they were also cleared off the second phone.I was wondering if there was a way where you can keep the same account for the phones but manage what goes to each of the phones?
My computer that I back up my iPhone 4 died before I could get iOS 5 for cloud, now my 32mb phone is full, mostly of precious baby photos and videos. I cannot update to ios5 to get cloud without losing all my stored contacts music and photos. Is there any way around this without purchasing a new computer, which with a new baby we cannot afford. I could afford to pay for extra cloud storage, though.
I shattered my iPhone 5s screen (ios8). Tried to back my data up to an old iPhone4 (ios6). I can't back up via the cloud because the phone I'm baking up to is running an older version of iOS than the phone with my data on it. I'm trying to back up from iTunes but can't b/c I can't enter my passcode on the shattered screen. I only have backups on the cloud. I have never backed this phone up to my computer. Because I was told iCloud back ups were good enough. But now I'm stuck in a catch 22.
