iCloud not backing up my iPad or iPhone

iCloud has not backed up either device for 2 weeks. They both have the new software and have been plugged in over night numerous times. I got messages on both they have not been backed up for 2 weeks, but manual backups time out and I get "last back up couldn't be completed." Wireless is working. My emails download to both and I have web access on both.

Have you checked Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup to see that you still have available storage space? Backups count against your allocated storage.

My Iphone 4s has not backed up manually or automatically since Oct 3. I have seen in other threads the same issue which correlates to the latest update. I updated my phone on Oct 3rd and no backups. My wife has not updated hers and is backing up daily with no problems on the same WIFI network. just got my Reminder that I haven't backed up in 7 weeks. Apple please HELP.

My iPad had not backed up automatically to iCloud for over 1 month. Manual backup did not work either...;just stalled out. I too have Comcast and shutdown the modem and the TimeCapsule that I have connected to it. This fixed the problem; after putting the iPad on the charger, turning it on, and locking it, the iPad automatically backed itself up over WiFi to iCloud.


Prior to this I had run numerous hard resets, etc. to no avail.
