Hi Edward,
You get 5 Gb for free, but if your backup is too large it should tell you there isn't enough space and not just that it failed. By the way, pictures and music you bought on iTunes does not count towards the 5 Gb. One thing that could make it too large are Audible books, if you choose to back up Audible then it will attempt to back up your books, but since you can simply re-download Audible books again from Audible there is no need to include Audible in the iCloud backup. If the backup fails it could be a shaky WiFi connection, but it's hard to tell.

Hello, When I attempt to backup my iPhone 5 to the iCloud, I am told that it failed. This has happened over and over again despite my efforts to limit what is actually backed up. Do members pay for additional iCloud service, or do you use alternative methods for backing up your iPhone? I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
