Thanks. I wouldn't mind backing up some documents and data if I could figure out a way to do it and stay under the 5GB limit.

That means that, were you to restore an iCloud backup, you wouldn't get any of your apps - books and files in Voice Dream, locally stored documents in a word processor, and so on. Some apps now store your information and sync via iCloud anyway, but any that don't will not be restored. That said, it's odd that you only have a toggle. As I said, I have a button, which lets me select which apps I don't want backed up. Turning off the big ones, like Bard Mobile, saves a lot of space in my backup. Anyone else unable to customize this? On Jun 8, 2014, at 11:26 AM, Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D. <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Yes, I'm on iOS 7, the latest version. I can't find what you're referring to. It still tells me I need an extra 8+ GB. I don't want to back up everything, just the basics like Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, etc. Thanks for any help.

It should be a button; double tapping it should open a screen where you can control exactly which apps get backed up, it should not be a toggle. Yes, there is a toggle inside the Documents and Data screen, but the button from the main iCloud settings screen should not be a toggle. Are you on iOS7?

I switch from On to Off, and it says, All Documents and Data stored in iCloud will be deleted from this iPhone. I have nothing in iCloud yet. I'm guessing that I'm safe to keep Documents and Data switched off, since there's nothing there currently. I guess I just need to double-check that nothing currently on my iPhone will be lost when this is checked. Is that correct? Thanks.

Go to your iCloud settings, then Storage and Backup, then Manage Backups. Double tap the name of the device to manage, and turn off any apps you don't want stored in iCloud. You can save a lot of space this way, with apps that either rely on other storage (like Dropbox) or apps whose data you don't care about.

It tells me I need an additional 8.5GB of storage. I don't want to back up documents and data at this point, just the basics. I did get a screen that said something like, after I unchecked Documents and Data, that Any data not backed up to iCloud will be deleted from this iPhone. I don't want anything deleted from my iPhone when I do a basic backup. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks in advance. Keith I get the message, This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
