I have an Sprint iPhone 4 and a Macbook. I use a USB to Sync, charge and backup my phone. If I close the lid to my computer while the phone is plugged in to the USB port it locks up my computer. The screen goes black but I can sort of see stuff behind the black screen. I press the power button to turn it off but nothing happens (maybe I have not waited long enough) so I end up taking the battery out, pressing the power button, putting the battery back in and then powering my computer back on.
This just started happening about 2 weeks ago and nothing has changed with my phone or my computer. There is a guy on another message board who just started having the same problem. He has an iPhone 4S, Sprint, a Macbook pro but he has Snow Leopard and I am still using Leopard.
When I back up my iPhone 4s, I get the following message : "iPhone cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified" The back up process doesn't back up from the computer to the iPhone, but does the other way around ??
I have recently cracked the screen on my z3 and I am not able to use the phone at All. It still has power and everything. I haven't backed up at all and because I cannot use the actually device I can't do it now. Is there anyway I can do it by plugging the phone into a computer??
My Blackberry Torch 9800 is synchronised with Outlook on my work computer but I want to create a second copy of my contacts on my home computer. How can this be done?
I connect the blackberry to my laptop (lenovo T400) via USB, then the phone asks me to choose mass storage or not. if I choose mass storage the laptop freezes immediately + black screen and then reboot. it happens no matter if I launch desktop manager or not...
When I use desktop manager, if I DO NOT choose mass storage, then it works till I click on media and sync media, the roxio software launches and then it crashes again with exactly the same symptom as describe above.....
I want to restore my backup from my old 3g to my 4s, however I have been using my 4s for a couple of weeks now and wondered if I restored the back up from my 3g through itunes, would this wipe off any new data that's on my 4s? Or is there a way I can restore the data without wiping off any new stuff such as pictures etc?
Probably a stupid question but I am trying to restore my iPhone as the kids wiped it by entering PIN incorrectly. Last time I backed it up was on a different PC - thought i could restore from any PC with itunes, or does it have to be the PC it was backed up to?

I have recently changed computers and want to update my ipod music however the itunes on the new computer wants me to erase the content currently on my ipod and sync to the new itunes.

My hard drive on my iMac crashed. I used it to sync and back-up my iPhone 4s 64GB. Since all those back-ups are gone, will I have to back-up my iPhone 4s to icloud now. Also, will backing up with icloud back it up the same as iTunes did on my iMac? I will have to purchase the $100.00 a year storage, but I guess it's worth it to save all the info on my iphone.
My iPhone 5S has stopped backing up to iCloud, I have enough storage space so that is not a the issue. I have tried to do a iCloud backup via PC, still having the same issue i can only backup iPhone to my laptop, iCloud was last backed up on the 9th NovĀ

I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.1 recently, and reinstalled OS X this weekend, and now that I'm trying to back up the content of my iPhone on my Mac, I can't seem to find the music and photos (among other things) that are supposed to have been saved from the iPhone onto my computer. The iTunes library is empty. What should I do to actually back up the content of my iPhone. Has never happened before...
Info: iPhone 4, Other OS, Running iOS 5, not on the list...
I've an iPhone 4s 64gb iOs 5.0.1 for 3 weeks now, but still can't sync it w/ iTunes at all, I've tried iTunes version 10.5.3.3 and version 10.6.1.7 but both of them stuck on backing up (step 2 of 6).
I'm using win7 64bit. Reseting the iPhone and reinstall iTunes doesn't help at all.
And when I plug the iPhone4s to the laptop the lockscreen slider (where it used to say 'slide to unlock') didn't change to 'slide to cancel sync' or something like that (if it should have been that way) but there's two arrow circling on the upper left of the screen tho.
I was updating my iphone. it downloaded, backed information, retrieved programs and was accesing itunes when an error occured and now i don't have an iphone. the image is itunes symbol and an arrow indicating to connect to itunes.
