Hi Kevin,
Like you, I’ve got an iPhone4, so I can relate. It still works, so why upgrade? :-D I just recently quit my Internet Service Provider and went with a High Speed Internet. So I needed to change my e-mail address and so I had to change that on my iCloud/Apple ID. There’s a web site on the Apple Support website. I’m hoping that I can post the URL here: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667 Print out those instructions so that you can access them, then go to those locations and make the changes, putting in your new e-mail address. Next; my iPhone has sometimes asked for my Apple ID/iCloud ID password, even when I’m outside of WiFi. I don't know why. I just touch “Cancel”. It doesn’t really need to know. As for backing up your iPhone to the iCloud, You need to go to a place where you have WiFi and a power outlet. Your iPhone will back-up to the iCloud if it’s plugged into a power outlet and has WiFi. Go to the Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > (drag down to the bottom) slide the iCloud Backup slider green and then touch the Back Up Now. >From now on your iPhone will back up when the iPhone is plugged in on WiFi and is locked. It will tell you when the last time your iPhone was backed up. Best of luck. --Rick On Thursday, November 27, 2014 8:06:59 PM UTC-8, Kevin Minor wrote: > > Hi. > > > > I know, I need to upgrade, but the phone does what I need, and as for > money, as they say, “You can’t get blood from a turnip.” > > > > I have several questions about iCloud.
