Re: [apple-iphone] What Am I Doing Wrong?

 

>>> Right. In iTunes choose backup to iCloud if that's what you want to do.
>>> Your still connecting to iTunes when you do that.
>>
>> You are still connecting to iTunes in order to make that decision.
>> You are, in general, NOT connecting to iTunes when you actually back up to iCloud.
>>
>> I do that every night, with iPhone and iPad plugged into wall power, connected to internet by home Wifi and always-on DSL connection.

> Jim: yes I am in fact connected to iTunes. I connect to my PC via the sync cord. The iPhone goes through a normal sync, including a full back up. The back up is on iCloud. I have never done a sync/ backup via WiFi.

In iTunes, with your iDevice connected, if you select the device in the left pane, you can choose "Back up to iCloud" or "Back up to this computer".

If you have selected iCloud, then, as my iPhone states, you "Automatically back up your camera roll, accounts, documents, and settings when ... plugged in, locked, ad connected to Wi-Fi."

To be clear, if you are doing iCloud backups you are doing them over Wifi.
NOT through the cable connecting the device to the computer.
