I am a parent who is trying to get my whole family on icloud backup. I know that it's supposed to backup every night. But my son's iPhone 4 has spent the last two days trying to back up at zero percent. He has it on a power cord, it is locked, and it is connected to a high speed cable wireless internet. The location of the phone does not help change the backup.
today I restarted his phone, deleted icloud, turned it back on again, and tried performing a backup. this time it did the backup in about 20 minutes. the file size is 776 mb. My daughter's backup is 335 mb, and hers only takes 6 minutes. And it works every day.
My son and my daughter both use iOS 7.1. My son has an iPhone 4 and my daughter has an iPhone 5.
Any idea on how I can get this iCloud backup to keep working on a daily basis? I can't find any real answers for this problem anywhere on the internet, so I'm really frustrated!
Also, is there any way to change the time it backs up? My son stays up late and he normally is on his phone until 1-2 am.
