Hi all,

I've set up my new iPhone from an old backup, every things fine.

I've backed up iPhone 6 to my mac, however it hasn't done an icoud backup yet. On my phone it says 'Latest Backup - Incomplete'. Anyway I can force an iCloud backup as I don't want to wipe my iPhone 5 (ready to sell) before I know my iPhone 6 is backed up to both my computer and iCloud.

Cheers,
James

My 4S backed up fine today, to both iCloud and iTunes on a desktop (just minutes ago, about 10am Pacific time US).
 
My iPhone 5 appears to be backing up to iCloud fine but my iCloud restore onto my iPhone 6 keeps failing ...
 
For anyone else having this problem, I just got off the phone with apple support and everything has changed around, he didn't even know where to look 😛

But now the backup option is located on the list of you calendar, photo etc under 'backup', just click on that then 'back up now'.

Simple changes like always catch me off guard, so yeah anyone looking for how to backup to iCloud on their new iPhone just follow the above 😀
