How do I backup my iPhone with iCloud?

Apple's iCloud servers will automatically back up your iOS device, assuming that iCloud Backup is enabled. To enable iCloud navigate to Settings -> iCloud -> Backup & Storage.

The backup runs automatically every day when your device is:

Connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi
Connected to your charger
Your device screen is locked

You can back up with iCloud manually if you are connected to a Wi-Fi network by selecting Settings -> iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Back Up Now.

iTunes has a nasty habit of deleting the previous backup every time it does a backup. If you really have an old backup intact, there is a way to restore from it. I forget the procedure, but I'm sure you can Google it. It's a good idea to manually go into your backup directory and manually copy it over to a new name once in a while. That way iTunes won't touch it, and you can use it in an emergency such as yours.

Here's a website that describes how to do it:

Have you tryied to take a look at the iCloud settings to see if you have contacts enabled? Also you can check out the mail settings to see if u have enabled it there too. If nothing don't work, the only way is to restore your phone and load back up your content via iCloud.

If I run out of charge while backing up, does the portion that had been backed up by then stay backed up?

While backing up, why does the estimated time jump from 4 to 3 to 7 hours?

I was in pain for two good weeks without my I-phone besides me, i could not call, text or browse just because my I-phone was locked, i tried different means in opening the phone, but all to no avail, until my friend introduced me to a man named Mr donald , he told me that i shoud contact him via this email address Donaldfranktelecom@yahoo.com and and i should do what so ever he tells me to that all will be well, at first i doubted him, but as time went on i could not hold it any longer , and i contacted him, and instructed me to do what so ever he tells me to, and behold after the next 45mins, i got an email that my phone has been unblocked, i was the most happiest man on earth because i could feel my phone right back in my palm. For any I-phone issues you can contact contact him VIA this email: Donaldfranktelecom@yahoo.com or call him through this number +2348138900575
