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.
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 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?
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 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 a working older Windows computer and am able to create a backup for my iPhone. I now have a MacBook and am wanting to transfer all music, apps, and most importantly the data with all my notes over to my MacBook. How am I able to do this?
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.
I did a backup of my iphone 5S to my computer and then did a system restore. However, my phone is missing a number of apps. The apps do show up on my computer. How do I get them onto my phone?
So I just bought a new laptop and I want to be able to have all of my iPhone data on the laptop (music, apps, contacts, photos, etc).How do I transfer all of this? I've tried Google but theres about 30 different ways and none of them are quite specific.Btw my new laptop is a PC, not a Mac. And I want to transfer all of my data from a PC.
I have an iphone 4s. And I want to transfer the photos I've taken with my phone to my pc. I don't think my pc is up to date enough to run icloud. Is there another way?
iPhone 4s, Windows 7, iTunes: Can I transfer a Playlist from the computer to the phone? And I mean the List itself, not the actual music, it is already on the Phone...
