I need to back up my iphone to complete the unlocking process of my phone. I do not have my laptop with me, what is another way to backup my phone?

I need to back up my iphone to have the phone unlocked. That is the final step of the process. I do not have my computer with me that I originally set it up with. Is thereany other way to back my phone up?

You can back it up to iCloud as Oshun9 suggests, but you'll still need your computer in order to perform the restore, which is part of the unlock process...

HT4946 Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer. I deleted pictures from my iPhone and added then to the ipad, but now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not?

Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer running Mountain Lion. Our desktop still runs Tiger, so I purchased the 3rd generation iPad with 64 gb thinking it had had plenty of room to backup my iPhone photos. I used a camera connection kit and transferred about 1100 old photos from my camera roll on my iPhone to my ipad. I then deleted pictures from my iPhone and now my camera roll has only 357 photos. However, in the Settings, under "About" it says I have 2147 photos. Why? I only have a total of 216 photos in all my albums. However, now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not? Any help, any advice, appreciated please! I spent a long time on the phone with Apple today and they couldn't solve the problem.

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.

My iphone 5 is stuck on connect to itunes screen and i do not have a computer with itunes. what do i do??

help

The iPhone has gone into recovery mode and you have to restore by connecting to a computer with iTunes and follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. If you do not have a computer with iTunes, a friend with a computer with iTunes, can you get to an Apple store genius bar and see if the techs will restore for you?

HT201210 I tried to update my Iphone 4S & was sent an error message telling me to restore my phone & did so & now my phone is unable to be used because it will not complete the restoring process & is locked in this screen not letting me use it at all.

I was trying to update my software to on my phone and it would not let me do so sending me a message to restore my phone before I can complete an update so I did this but it would not complete the restore and was sent another message stating that my phone is already in recovery mode and a restore needs to be completed before I can update any software. I have tried this four times now and my phone screen is stuck with the Itunes symbol on it along with a picture of the plug. It will not let me eject or do absolutely anything. I cannot use my phone at all. I have even tried to shut it down and turn it back on which still did not help.

and error code or the exact msg would help

I need to back up my iPhone 3G for the first time. Can anyone help?

I shattered my glass but all hardware underneath is intact, despite pieces of glass missing, leaving the junk in there visible.
Everyone I talked to said, 'ya, go to iTunes! It's easy!' but I cannot find out how to back up my phone to my PC - Windows XP
Can anyone help me do this?

You might have better, faster results if you post your question in the correct forum....for iPhone.

I need to reformat my computer, but i do not have an external hard drive, is there another way to do this

i need to reformat my laptop, but dont want to mess up my itunes and purchases
my i tunes has downloaded music and apps and a few book and movies on it, all downloaded through itunes on this computer
or on my ipad/iphone
what is the best way to make sure i do not lose these items after i reformat
thanks
Chickerz

My friend wants to put music on their iPhone 5C but they do not have a laptop with iTunes that hasn't been associated with another iPhone/iPod. Is there any way they can skip linking their phone to the iTunes and JUST get the music?

The iPhone has not been associated with any iTunes as I was a little scard to connect it to mine as I do not want all my friend's apps on my phone. Also, we use different apple IDs so would we be able to have two apple IDs associated with one computer?
SO CONFUSED.
Please help!

Your friend can get a new Apple Id for themselves, and create a different account on one of the laptops. Then put all their music in a separate iTunes library, and sync the phone to that particular library.
This will keep there music separate from your library and their brother's library.
Just make another User on your computer for your friend to store their music in.

L am afraid if i restore and update my iphone to lose the unlock?

l am afraid if i restore and update my iphone to lose the unlock?

If your phone was purchased as unlocked from a reputable source (Apple), or legitimately unlocked by your cellular provider, you will not lose your unlock status. If it has been hacked to unlock, we have no idea what may happen during an upgrade

Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.

Probably will never ever think of buying a locked phone from AT&T cause its one of the worst system integrations ever that these companies could think of.
The entire problem started when I put in a request with at&t to unlock my iphone 4s (ios7) which did get approved. I performed the entire instructions they asked me to do, which is to backup and restore. After doing those instructions my iphone gave me an error message below
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
Basically saying that at&t hasn't still unlocked the iphone which a really helpful apple executive was able to confirm. I initiated another unlock process from at&t in order to unlock the iphone, just to be sure that its not something wrong from my end. The nice at&t lady stayed on chat with me to unlock the iphone step my step while I was calling the apple tech too. And the apple tech confirmed again that the iphone is locked to at&t.
Now, just a few minutes ago I tried another restore to see if any progress is being made and to my surprise I got an error message saying
Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.
I feel like I am just going around these two different "money hogger" companies which set certain rules and regulations to screw a regular phone buyer. I purchased this iphone in USA and trying to unlock in India, is it really this hard to simply unlock a device.
For now I am going to try to call a apple office in india (apprently we don't have very many out here) and see if they can help me. But any other assistance regarding unlocking an iphone 4s would be helpful. I have however, tried checking IMEI.info, called up apple, talked to at&t (which always say go talk to apple) I do have a case number from apple as well in case an apple executive reads this discussion forum (case number: 566383594)
Thanks

You got a confirmation from AT&T that it was authorized. Is this correct? - Yes i did get an email authorization on the 21st.
Then you connected the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. You clicked on the phone's name in iTunes, then clicked "Backup Now". - Yes
When that finished you clicked "Restore iPhone" (NOT "Restore Backup") - Yes
Are you with me so far? - Yes.
And @ Varjak is right that after the 3rd restore I get the replacement error.
Plus I have NEVER jailbroken the iPhone. To give you another update, I spoke to a really nice apple tech in India who was atleast able to get me out of the replacement error by doing a recovery mode option. However, the lastest restore still gives me the same error

HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

I have the exact same problem. I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts. They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

HT201317 I backed up my iPhone 4 to the cloud. Now I've downloaded the back up to mynre iPhone 5. I've turned in photo stream on my new device but my photo stream isn't complete. What's up?

I Backed up my iPhone 4 to the cloud before purchasing my iPhone 5. I downloaded the back up to my new device, turned on photo stream but now all my photos aren't showing up in my stream. Any ideas?

Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. Older photo stream photos are no longer in iCloud to receive. If they were in your camera roll when you last backed up your device, restoring the backup should recover them.

Been using g iPhone 6 for few months, just backed up my iPhone 5, restored my pics etc onto 6 but all original photos have been deleted?

Been using g iPhone 6 for few months, just backed up my iPhone 5, restored my pics etc onto 6 but all original photos have been deleted, Is there a way I can get them back?

If you are backing up to your computer, check in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, if there is more than your recent iPhone 6 backup listed. If yes, transfer the photos from your phone to the computer first, then restore from the backup. After that, transfer the recovered photos again to your computer and sync all of the transferred pictures to your phone, using iTunes and the settings in the photo pane.

How come when I tap the back of my iPhone next to the camera, it sounds like there is a lose piece in inside?

I just got my iPhone so i can't imagine there is anything wrong, but I noticed that when I tap the back of my iPhone next to the camera, it sounds like there is a lose piece in inside. Also, when I put the iPhone down on a desk or table i hear the same sound. Wondering if this is normal?

Hi JRM833,
That would be enough to make me worry as well. I've not seen (or heard, in this case) that happen on any of my iPhones, or any others that I've been around (friends, family, etc.).
I would say that no, that isn't normal. If you're near one, take it to an Apple store. Or, if you made your purchase at the wireless carrier you've chosen, take it back to them to see if they could help you out.
Best of luck.
