IPhone :: Does Backup To Computer Backup Photos And Video
Apr 11, 2012
I backed up my iphone to my computer before going to Apple Store where my phone was replaced. Once home I synced up and my apps were restored but not the pictures and video.
Are they there or were they not backed up? If they are there why weren't they restored and what can I do to restore them?
I created a new album in my IPhone 4S ... I added 52 photos & video to the new album .. then i deleted them from camera roll to not have double photos .. I was surprised that photos were deleted from the new album as well .. I don't have a back up .. how I can get them back ? Â
I have a Lumia 1020 and love taking photos with it and I love using G+. Using G+ on the web apps on WP8 isn't too shabby but I hated getting pictures and videos to it because it'd mean I'd have to plug in my phone to my pc and upload the photos to G+ from there. Well, that is no longer the case!!
Google released the new version of Picasa today which is the Program for Mac/Windows that allows you to manage your G+ photos on the computer. One of the biggest features they added today way autouploading photos on your PC to G+. WP8 already autouploads to skydrive so I pointed the picasa autoupload folder to my skydrive folder on my PC and it works FLAWLESSLY!!
If you want to do this you just need a few things.
1. Install Picasa on your PC/MAC 2. Install Skydrive on your PC/MAC 3. Point the Picasa Autobackup folder to your Skydrive photos folder on computer
So you'll take a photo, it'll auto back up to Skydrive, which then syncs with your PC. Picasa then grabs the photos as they are downloaded to your PC and uploads them to G+!
I have a Nokia n97, and it is synced to Ovi Suite on my PC (latest version) I need to reinstall my OS (Windows 7), but I want to make sure everything is backed up first. Where does the Ovi Suite software store the Messages and Contacts and Photos/Videos on the Local Machine
My original computer died, and I don't have a phyical back up of my data. If I try to sync the device to a new computer will I lose everything currently on my phone? If so, is there a way around this?
Brand new iPhone 5s, plugged into iTunes to sync music etc, but it didn't back up, just came up with a red cross saying 'iPhone cannot backup onto this computer'
So like, I have iTunes on this computer that has the perfect back up for my iPhone, but it can't connect to any internets so I can't restore it. Is there a way for me to get that backup file and stuff and put it on a flash drive so I can put it on a different computer that can connect to internet and back up my phone?
And yeah I tried using these file destinations;
On Windows XP: Documents and Settings(username)Application DataApple ComputerMobileSyncBackup
On Windows Vista and Windows 7: Users(username)AppDataRoamingApple ComputerMobileSyncBackup
But I had no luck in finding anything after (username). Like, I don't have 'Application Data' or 'AppData' as a folder on my computer. Any help would be a lifesaver, seriously.
I am a new iphone user. I recently did a back up of my iphone to my computer when my iphone was return to Apple for some technical checking. I just got my phone back but I am not sure how to transfer everything back to my iphone. I hooked up my iphone to the computer and it sync from iTune all the apps but my contacts and sms messages are not downloaded.
I have been researching the way to copy my iPhone contacts to my computer so that I do not lose them if I have a malfunction and this also enables me to download the contacts to my auto Bluetooth.
Where can I find the backup file for my iPhone on my computer? I have searched everywhere I know and can't find it. Is it in iTunes somewhere? I don;'t need to restore, I just want to know where it is.
I have updated my iPhone 4 to 5.1.1 and I can't restore my backup files because when I try to restore my backup iTunes shows that the backup is corrupted or not compatible with the iPhone
When setting up my new iPhone 4s, should I restore from icloud or itunes backup? Or set up as a new iPhone? The phone number is staying the same from my iPhone 4.
I have an iphone 5, and during 3 weeks I had to use an iphone 4S because the 5 was "broken". Since I made backup for the 4S during these days, now that I have my iphone5 back again, I tried to backup, but doesn't let me cause it says it has an old software.The problem with that is that now I can't recover my photos an a lot of important information. The most important part is the photos.
Is there a way to get my photos back if I have a backup in my laptop? or is there a way to make a backup of the iphone 4S even that says that the software is too old for the iphone5?Â
i would like to ask about the "where itune backup are restored on your computer". i am following the instruction under the window vista and windows 7, and the note mention that we have to press the "RETURN"key, what is the return key??
I have backed up my Iphone onto Windows 7 and would like to open and read the file. I have downloaded SQLite Database browser. Either, how do I use that to read my messages or where else can I read them? I would prefer not to use a web browser.
I have the iphone4. My laptop crashed back in February, so that was the last time I backed up my phone and was synced to a computer. I have no way of accessing anything on this computer. It doesn't turn on or anything, it is basically just a shell now, so I can't release my iphone from it's authorization with that computer and itunes. I am trying to finally sync my phone to a different computer. I went to both Verizon and the Apple store and they told me to go under my itunes preferences and make sure that the iphone does not automatically sync to the computer, so I did that. I plugged my iphone in and thankfully it didn't sync... but then they told me to manually save all my information and apps and pictures and contacts and what not from my iphone to my computer so that I had it incase everything got lost. However, there is no way for me to do this!!! I transfered my itunes purchases so it saved most of my apps, but I have no way of saving my music and photos and contacts. I'm not sure if I am supposed to backup my iphone to this computer? Or will I lose everything? And I know if I sync that I will lose everything since there is nothing saved to this computer. If someone could please help me that would be great!!! I have gone to both Apple and Verizon and read around on the internet trying to figure this out, but no one is giving straight steps on how to do this. I don't know how to save my contacts and photos and everything manually to the computer like they told me in case the sync loses everything. And this has been 5 months like this trying to get help and figure this out, and I'm definitely fed up to say the least. I also haven't even been able to update to ios 5 yet so I don't have iCloud or any other way of backing up everything.

My icloud backs up photos from the photostream but videos I take just stay in the camera roll. Is there a way to have the videos also go to the photostream so they show up on my PC?
