IPhone :: Trying To Back Up To New Computer But Cannot?
Apr 20, 2012
I am trying to back up by iphone to my new computer but it gives me this message " Itunes could not back up the iphone because the back up could not be saved on the computer." What can I do?
I can't sync my iPhone and back up my data with my computer because iTunes says to enter the passcode into my iPhone to unlock it, but I am unable to unlock and enter in my passcode on my iPhone because the screen is shattered. I have my replacement iPhone with me and I'm not going to activate it until I can sync/get the data from my broken iPhone. I have the envelope to send my broken iPhone back to the Verizon store or whatever so that's not a problem. I just can't sync my old iPhone with my computer.
I would like to know if there is anyway of backing up all information like text messages on my phone without connecting to the computer in case I accidentially delete them
My computer's hard drive and backup drive both malfunctioned at the same time, and I've lost a lot of the mp3 files that still live on my iPhone4. I want to download the mp3 files on my iPhone back onto the new drives so I don't have to re-do 1500 songs. I can't find anything that shows how to do this, and it's very frustrating that something so simple isn't a basic feature. (The Sync function wipes out all the data on the iPhone, but doesn't allow for the reverse...very stupid design, in my opinion.) And in Windows XP--no jokes please--the iPhone files on the windows explorer only shows photos, no music...again, not a very smart design. So how do I export my music files back to my computer and back up drive?
I ahve just updated my iphone 4 to the latest IOS and dont know how to transfer my music, apps and photos from my computer back to phone - have been to itunes but cant find where I do this?
I spent hours cropping pictures on my iPhone using it's built in editing feature and I "saved" every single one. Plugged in my iPhone to my Ultrabook to copy them and NONE of them have retained any of the edits I made. ALL the pictures I cropped are back to their original picture size. Why aren't the edits I made on the photos applied to them when I import them to my computer? And why does my iPhone ask me to "save" after I make changes if it doesn't really save them?
I have around 6 blackberry back ups for my bold and curve blackberry phones, on the pc i click on it but it doesnt display the content. I just wanted to find out the downloads such as files i had on my phone. My only concern is that i dont want to restore the update on my mobile. I just want to be able to click it and it display the content on the computer without connecting my BB to the PC. Does anyone know of a way of being able to acheive this without destroying my back ups?
my phone had to go in for repair so i manged to download everything to my computer, the problem is i don't know how to get the contacts from my computer back on to my phone.
The notice of the new update 4.5.141 said to back up contacts before installing.
I have searched for a way to back up contacts to the computer but all I've found is how to back them up to an SD card.
(I understand that if they are in google contacts, I'm safe, and my phone has that, but the other Atrix in our home has many of the contacts saved as a Motorola contact.) That Atrix also does not have an SD card!
I have been trying to backup my text messages so that they are in a readable format on my computer so that I can read them or print them. I have a number of pictures that have been sent and some important conversations I need to save; however, they are taking up a lot of memory on my phone and I would like to delete them, but still have access to them on the computer. I downloaded a free program called Appandora, but it locked up every time it started to save the second text message thread. The one that it did save was in a .txt file and was very difficult to read. I do understand that the texts are backed up when the phone is backed up, but I want them in a readable accessible file.
I have installed Kies 3 twice but still get the same problem. The back up from my Galaxy S5 appears to go well until I look into the folders created on my computer in Kies. It has backed up some things but most folders either have nothing in them or have file types that I can't open on my computer, which I guess are Samsung files. Surely if I have downloaded Kies specifically to back everything on the phone up, the software will have the ability to open these file types?
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?
I have a concern at how well the new iPhone 4 will feel in the hand. I have a first generation Touch, that has a flat back and it's harder to comfortably hold in my hand compared to the rounded back of my iPhone 3G. I never thought the rounded back would make that much of a difference, but it does. Any thoughts?
I tried to download a ringtone and my phone then told me it needed to restore because of the updates. I transferred my purchases over but stupidly didn't make a back up. After restorting I realised the most recent back up I had was for April. So I used that back up. However does anybody know whether it is possible, in any way, for me to get my phone restored back to just before it decided to restore. I've tried looking through the forums but have had no luck.
