Backed up iPhone to iTunes and lost space?
Hi all,
I backed up my iPhone to iTunes this morning. It's quite outdated (iPhone 5S still runnings iOS 7.0.2...) At the start I had approx. 50gb free space on my phone. After backing up, iTunes shows that I have only 38gb free.
It shows the photo sector as nearly having tripled, but I don't have any more photos on my phone than I did before I backed up.
Anyone know what's happened, or what to do to get space back?
Many thanks - I've solved heaps of problems (and been saved from turning grey...) from reading these threads!
Read here to see what gets backed up using iTunes:

Backed Up Iphone to itunes and when restoring its looking for a password to restore! None requested or set at original backup. Can anyone help?
I have not restored device so have all my data on it still. Am not pluggin it in for first time, did this originally when setting up phone. I have an option to restore to original backup as well as 'set up as new'. What happens if I chose the 'restore from backup' option.' how do I go about backing it up first - if i right click 'iphone'' option on left hand side under devices the only option is'eject' or 'restore'. I'm not sure that my iphone is being recognised by itunes - should it not give the name of my iphone under devices?

i have updated my 4s iphone to ios 6.1.3 and have trouble connecting it to wi fi . i tried to back up it on itunes and then restore it but now i have left with a phone that still doesnt connect to wi fi and lost all my data. anyone knows how to fix it?
If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, there is a hardware problem.

I upgraded my iphone to OS 6.1.2 through itune and lost some photos from photos album and SMS ( In fact everything went back to how it was on my last back up few weeks ago). Do you know how I can recover them? Thank you.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

I have a 3G iphone. I just tried to download the new itunes and lost all my itunes I had. I tried to transfer them from my computer but can't. How can I and what do I do to get the ones I bought before and now have lost.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad: File>Transfer Purchases -
The last time I synced my iphone to itunes, I lost all my contact info, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I still have them, but I lost all the apps I had downloaded. Also, I just bought an ipad, and itunes does not recognize it.
Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself. -
I synced (updated) my iphone to itunes and some songs were deleted from my iphone playlist on my phone. On the computer, a circle is next to the song and the title faded out. What the heck is that all about and how do I get my songs back onto my phone playlist? Never happened before. My software is up to date?

You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

i backed up my iphone to itunes and tried restoring the info on to a new iphone and for some reason it used an old back up from last may. I know that the recent back up worked as I used it to set up another phone a week ago (a phone whihc also had problems and hence I needed to use that same back up again on my second new phone. Is there anyway I can get the most recent back up information back?
1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad. -

I tried to backup my iphone to itunes and then got a message "Itunes has detetected an Iphone in recovery mode. you must restore tghis Iphone before it can be used with Itunes." Does this mean I've lost everything on my Iphone & have to restore to it's original settings?
Is the device actually in recovery mode? What is showing on the display?
If it's the "Connect to iTunes" screen, then the information is already lost.
If you've forced the device in DFU mode... reboot it and simply sync with the computer.
