It keeps saying that there's not enough storage for my next backup but i literally have barely anything to backup. Like almost nothing is enabled, certainly not the camera roll backup. Any thoughts?

I only have the one device (iphone 5) on my account.

Driving me nuts.

Thanks.

check in settings - icloud - storage and backup - manage storage to see exactly how big your backup will be and also how much storage you have left on icloud. it is sort of weird if you have almost nothing to backup...

Is that really all the apps on your device? I just enabled iCloud backup to see what it showed for me and I have so many items in that list and the numbers add up properly.

Ya i'm really not much of an app guy lol. I'm always paranoid that it'll slow my device down or something, and i find most of them pretty useless since i can just use safari to do what a dedicated app does.

You would have loved iPhone 1 pre-app store ;)

Wish I had something more to suggest. My backup was dominated by photos and things from iBooks but still only totaled 3GB. Are you using something else that has filled iCloud that maybe isn't being reported properly to you?
