iCloud Backup Broken After iOS 9 Upgrade

iCloud Backup on both my iPhone and iPad have been working fine for years until I upgraded to iOS 9. After the upgrade it said my latest backup was "Never". When I pressed "Backup Now" the progress bar flashed quickly then went back to saying my latest backup was "Never" (no error messages).


I decided to try turning iCloud Backup off and back on again. When I try to turn in on it says "iCloud Backup Failed. There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup.".


Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix?

iPhone 6, iOS 9

Everyone is experiencing different versions of this issue. There is no reason to believe that it is not being worked on, as it affects lots of people lots of different ways. Apple is not going to respond here, since this is a user to user support forum, and until they get to the bottom the issue, there is really nothing they can tell us it doesn't seem.....


In the mean time, it would be a good idea to back up to iTunes, if you can, and be sure to keep your photos imported on a regular basis.

The iCloud backup still broken!


I already tried:

- Delete the old backup (after the loading spinning wheel stops)

- Full backup on iTunes then restore

- A lot from alternatives from Google.... and nothing work.


I'm on the iOS 9.1 Beta 2 and since the iOS 9.0 and 9.0.1 i'm facing the same problem.


1. The iCloud backup starts OK:

User uploaded file

Then after 2 or 3 minutes:

User uploaded file

I never have issues on iCloud backup when in iOS 8.1.4


I have the free account (5GB) but my backup have less than 1 GB.


Let's hope Apple fix this as soon as possible!
