IPhone :: What Happens To All Stuff That Do On Phone Before Sync With Backup?
Aug 14, 2010
I had a text conversation, took a number of pictures and videos, etc. Then I come home, sync it with iTunes and with my backup, and all of that stuff vanishes. How can they give you an activated, functioning phone before you walk out of the store, but not tell you that you have No way of saving anything you do on it pre-iTunes sync?
I deleted something from my iPhone and wanted to restore it to the last back up from icloud. I wiped the phone, but when I restored it back, I had no contacts, notes, imessages, etc. Everything was gone.
I recently have been having problems with my iPhone 4 so i restored it. Before i restored it i backed it up with iClound. Now i don't know how to access the iCloud backup to put all my old stuff onto my iPhone. Can someone help me please??
I just got a new iphone changing carriers. I did a backup of my old one to itunes, how can i restore that backup onto the new phone to include all my stuff (i.e. - apps, photos, email setup, etc)
I have got all my music, photos and apps sorted but how can I save my playlists, contacts, sms and notes? I am backed up to iCloud but if I sync my phone with iTunes will I lose all my data? I haven't dared click sync as I don't want to lose what I have on my phone.
My i1 has developed a few issues and has to go in for service. Dude says all HE can do is backup my contacts.... I need to backup my apps, settings, widgets etc .... in other words the WHOLE enchilada. Any suggestions as to Motorola or aftermarket software ?
My phone was slowing down, so i restored it and chose the wrong backup (i did not see the backup that was made today). I option+clicked the restore button to point it to the backup that was made today, but when i go to the "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/backup" folder there are no clickable files to select. Am I looking in the right place? How do I restore from that most recent backup? I would like to do it without having to completely restore my phone again.
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.
im due delivery of my 950 tomorrow and im just wondering the best way to transfer all my stuff from the 650 to the 950. also if i take the sd card out and put in the 950 will it be recognised straight away or will it wipe it.
keep reading threads of lots of problems with the 950, been a massive fan of lumia but its starting to worry me now.
Why can i not copy or move stuff to the phone memory? I have tried copying and pasting from the SD card using AndExplorer but it says 'Cannot paste [filename] to memory', and can't see a way to access the internal memory via a PC either. There is 110MB free and I want to copy a 1Mb mp3 to use as a ringtone that doesn't need to be on the SD card. I am using an x8 with Android 2.1.
I plugged it in, and it synced automatically. It did not ask if I wanted to restore it or anything. I hadn't has my old one updated to the new OS, as this one is.
my last iphone was stolen and i got a new one (4s). i accidently connected it to my itunes already and didn't know i was supposed to use the backup when it popped up. does anybody know how do i sync this new iphone with the backup of my last one?
While we were on vacation my brother in law upgraded to an iPhone 4 and I bought his old 3G and jailbroke it using Spirit. I also unlocked it to use on TMobile. Now that I'm home, I wanted to sync it or back it up so that I wouldn't lose apps and such. I don't have any music or videos on it but would like to do that eventually also.
1. I tried to sync some TV shows and it said that this iPhone was associated with another iTunes library so the sync would erase what was on the phone and replace it with what's on my Mac. My question here is, does it just erase things like videos and music, or will it also torch my apps and erase the jailbreak?
2. I notice when you right click the iPhone icon in the left side pane in iTunes there's a "Back up" option. Does that backup all of my apps to iTunes without erasing data on the phone or messing up the jailbreak?
I've just got an iphone 4 and I want to know how to sync it with my old iphones backup. Secondly after I've done this I want to transfer my iphone backup from my old pc to my new mac.
so i lost my 32GB 4gs, got a 8GB 4gs and went to restore it from an older back up of the 32GB. obviously i can't restore all the music etc, the ONLY thing i actually tried to sync to the new phone was contacts, but somehow i have a phone filled to the max with "other" ? can't figure out exactly what it is. it's weird cuz it says it's 1MB short of making the full sync.
1) Can I backup and sync normally in itunes now without hurting anything? What If I have jailbroken apps in folders with normal apps from apple. Just want to make sure I can sync and backup without hurting anything.
2) If I ever want to update to a newer apple firmware down the road, I can't believe you have to restore the whole phone to do this! Then you lose all your jailbroken content! Isn't there a way to back up the jailbroken stuff? Its super easy to jailbreak it, you would think you could uninstall the jailbreak just as quick, but I guess that isn't the case.
I bought an iPhone during my last vacation and took 400 pictures before syncing, straight out of the box. When I got home and plugged it in my laptop, it synced with my old iphone, erasing all pictures. How can I get them back? There's no backup, since the iphone was brand new to my macbook.
I have been having this issue ever since I have gotten the iPhone 4. Its really irittating because my 4 is only 8GBs. Every time I connect my 4 to my computer, iTunes pops up and it syncs it and go through the steps of sync and backing up. But when it does this, my other memory space goes up. Every time I use my iPhone 4 then need to put more music or something it goes through that synchronization process and back up, which then makes my other space go up more. Now I only have 1.1GB of space left. I been having this problem and trying to figure out what is the problem. But when today I connect it I notice it goes up when backing up and all that. I have research a lot of people have the same issue but its because of something else, or because they "Jailbreak It" which mines is not. My iPhone 4 is on the latest ios5 which is 5.1.1.
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 16GB 3GS is only about half full. Yet my phone has been connected here for 30+ minutes trying to sync and backup. I actually stopped the backup process with only about 10% on the progress bar after sitting there at 10% for at least 5+ minutes. Now it's continuing on with the sync process. You would think with USB 2.0 it would go faster than this. I also don't understand why it's having to update 157 songs in one of my playlists when those songs have not changed and were already on the phone.
I was restoring my iPhone from the iTunes backup, but I forgot the password for the backup and I could not find a way to recover my photos.I wonder if there is any way to recover my pictures from the backup that was kept inthe MobileSync folder. This is very important to me, if you could help me, make mevery happy. Thank you very much.
