It usually has an unknown estimated time (at one point I saw it say 5 hours, then it went away) and hasn't done a backup. Sorta having a similar issue, but mine never really goes anywhere at all.

Is your computer on, with iTunes running, Sent from my iOS ecosystem! Hey. I turned backup on in my phone under iCloud and it worked fine. Just took 10 hours to get it all backed up. To the TO. I'd connect the phone to iTunes and disable iCloud backup in the phone as well as in iTunes. Than disconnect the phone and re-enable it in the phone.
Hook it up again and then enable it in iTunes. Hope that helps you. I'm having the same problem backing up to iCloud with my iPhone 4S. My iPad can perform a backup without problems, but my iPhone seems to just do nothing. However, I must note that it does sync my photo stream, so maybe it is working, I'm wondering if you can do a wireless iCloud backup from the iPhone, or if I'm just looking at that manual update button wrong. I can't really tell because I'm not confident the iCloud backup is working right.
Through wired connection with wifi and lock screen on, iTunes shows it's working, even though the backup time is wrong. But the iPhone shows last backup unknown. It's the one part of iCloud I've been struggling with. Well, that and trying to figure out how to get iTunes to stop opening up on my PC when the wifi sync is enabled.

There's a setting in iTunes to stop it from opening, when it detects your phone, so find that and turn it off. And yes, if the sync is working, rather than unknown, or never, it will show the date and time that the latest was done. Sent from my iOS ecosystem! It's still not working for me.
This is so annoying. I'm hoping it's just Apple's servers being bogged down. I'd like to be able to do a wireless iCloud backup at some point. I'll give it a rest for now. Doesn't seem to be working for me either. I finally was able to backup my iPhone through iCloud. I turned on my WiFi and forced it to "back up now" in the iCloud settings on my iPhone.
I went to bed and woke up this morning to see that after almost 10 hours, it successfully backed up. I finally was able to backup my iPhone through iCloud.

Was it plugged into a charger or did you do it wirelessly, Glad to hear that you broke through. Last edited by paul-c; 10-17-2011 at 12:19 PM. Was it plugged into a charger or did you do it wirelessly, Glad to hear that you broke through. I had it plugged into a wall charger.
