i only have the 2 step verification option available but no 2FA?[/QUOTE]

You don't have the "Turn on" option because it's already turned on.
The rescue email can be added separately in [url]https://appleid.apple.com[/url] (:

Just did iCloud backups for my 6s Plus and iPad mini 4, both don't have a lot of things in there so it took a few mins. But my primary phone (7 Plus is still currently backing up and 30+GB of capacity used time left about 2 hours?? :eek:

Strange thing is that I activated iCloud backup on my iPad this afternoon in office and my holiday photos disappeared, then upon returning home I did the iCloud backup. Then I connected it to iTunes and selected backup to this computer and the photos started copying back.

Does that mean it'll always remove from my iPad upon iCloud backup and have to repeat syncing back via iTunes? I don't backup my photos in iCloud though. :s11:

It shouldn't disappear.
Did you turn on iCloud Photos Library?

The iCloud Photo library is the option to upload the photos to the cloud.

Could double check that your photos are being backed up to iCloud as well? Settings -> iCloud [name] -> iCloud -> Manage Storage -> Backup -> This iPhone

It's not turned on as I wish to back it up via iTunes instead.

I've purchased the 50GB iCloud storage as even though my photos library wasn't turned on for iCloud backup, there's still not enough space for backing up. But now it's 4hrs estimated, really need so long?

Yea the initial backup will take some time. How large is your iPhone? 256?

Place your iPhone nearer to the access point or leave it alone overnight. The backup will kick in overnight when your phone is charging.

128GB and only 30+GB used.

I'm preparing all my devices for the iOS 11 download tonight though, so charging both my phones and iPad. WatchOS 4 will download later after iOS 11 update as my office have no wifi, so can only do the updating.

Strange it shouldn’t take that long. Just leave it alone perhaps it could be your upload speed but it doesn’t make sense to have your other devices faster though.

Maybe try rebooting if it still shows unusually long hours. Then leaving it alone to backup.

I highly recommend updating WatchOS overnight. It takes a really long time haha.

We never know if Apple will push through a newer build.
To check if your on the latest build, simply remove your beta profile, reboot and check for updates.

But I can't as have to sleep earlier, got to wake up early for work. If around 1am to 1:10am start updating iOS 11, guess will take a long time due to server jam, then will also take some time to do verification, backing up and installation. Then after that can do WatchOS download but don't install first, so can only load them in office (no wifi).

Anyway I've cancelled the iCloud backup for my 7 Plus, went up to a ridiculous time remaining of 9 hrs. Will try to do a backup again after iOS 11 update.
