Try this. This usually works for me.


  1. Turn off iCloud backups
  2. Force close the settings app
  3. Turn off WiFi
  4. Restart your device
  5. Turn WiFi on again
  6. Turn iCloud backups on again.
  7. Try another backup.


If you get the spinning wheel when you try to turn off iCloud backups, just go to step 2 and force close the settings app,and do everything else in the list.
