Backup and Sync Network Folders

Hello - I have a simple question that I am hopeful someone can help me out with. We have a shared network folder that is approximately 750 GB in over 50,000 folders and we need to back this up to a hosted cloud drive. Does anyone have any suggestions
for the easiest way to synchronize and backup our local network data with a hosted solution? We have numerous employees accessing the data remotely, so real-time data synchronization is preferred. Please help!
Thanks!

Hi,
Windows Server Backup only supports backing up to external and internal disks, optical and removable media such as DVDs, and remote shared folders.
The simplest way is to use OneDrive. OneDrive (formerly called SkyDrive) is free cloud storage that comes with your Microsoft account. It’s like an extra hard drive that’s available from any of the devices you use,
so the files you save there are always with you.

You could also use Windows Azure Online Backup. Windows Azure Online Backup is a cloud-based backup solution enabling server data to be backed up and recovered from the cloud in order to help protect against loss
and corruption.

Is there a way to create folders on one iPad and sync the folders to multiple iPads?

Is there a way to create folders on one iPad and sync the folders to multiple iPads? I have 23 iPads and I want to have all the folders match for easier access for students.

Here is a possibkle workaround, assuming the iPads are all starting out with the same initial content on them:
Backup that iPad to each computer you will be using. Then restore from the backup (only takes a couple minutes). Then rename the other 22 iPads.

ITunes will not let me backup and sync to new phone encrypted password??

iTunes will not let me backup and sync to new phone encrypted password?? I've never set a password for my old iPhone 3gs but tried my old Apple ID sign-in passwords to no avail. I've simply sat here so frustrated....my husband sync'd his new iPhone 4 no problem, somehow the checkbox shows Encrypted password and I'm at a loss on how to change this/find the password and transfer my old backup onto my new phone so I can use it. Can anyone help? Tnx

John,
buy an iTunes Music Card and redeem it to your account - the "none" option should be available then.

What happens at each step of an iPhone Backup and Sync?

Can someone tell me exact what is happening at each step of an iPhone backup and sync?
I see 5 to 7 steps.
So what has happened after step 1, then after step 2, and so forth?
I would appreciate if only those who knows exactly what happens will list it in their reply.
Please don't tell me to google the question, or point me to a link. I tried all those steps, and I could not find the answer.
If you can't tell me precisely what happens after each step of a sync, please don't reply.

Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes

Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes. Have tried to hard reset iPhone (all data lost- sad) and reinstalled iTunes. Still cannot work.

It sounds like you bough the song only, not the song and the ringtone.
Ringtones via itunes are available in the U.S. only.
In the U.S. to make a ringtone you:
Buy the song with a bell - 99 cents
Find the song in your library and click the bell
This bring up the editor.
You edit the song to the portion you want.
Then click buy to purchase the ringtone - another 99 cents.
Then it shows up in ringtones and you can sync.
As I said, this method of creating ringtones is available in the U.S. only.
There are, however, many ways to make ringtones:

When trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone with itunes the device does not appear int he upper right hand corner anymore

when trying to backup and sync my ipad and iphone to itunes it does not appear in the upper right hand corner under devices for me to click on

In that same window - the one where you see your backups - click on the box at the bottom that say -Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads form syncing automatically. Then click OK and quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to the computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side under the devices heading and select - Restore from backup. A window will pop up from which you can select any of the backups that you have for the iPad. Select the backup that you want to restore from and then go agreed and restore the iPad. Sync with iTunes when you are done.
Remember that when you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup to the iPad. You cannot selectively restore content. It is all or none.

Should I do a backup and sync before IOS4 upgrade?

I have yet to do an upgrade to IOS4 on my 3GS. Given the issues with the upgrade process, would it make more sense to do a backup and sync before I proceed with the upgrade process? It's been about 3-4 months since I've done a backup and I'm currently running OS 3.1.2.

Thanks. I tried to do a backup recently during a sync, started around 11pm one night, went to bed at 1am, then woke up at 6am only to find it still backing up. I ended up clicking the little "x" up in the top window just to let it sync up. I'm really not looking forward to having to go through this backup routine, I still am perplexed as to why a backup should take so long to do (I have about 8MB on my 16MB 3GS).

Backup and Sync

I sync my iPhone with two computers:
1. Home computer: all music and apps
2. Work computer: all contacts, appt's, to-dos, (Outlook).
Currently I back up on both computers, is this proper? What if I lose everything on my phone, which computer should I restore from?

The home machine, but you'll need to sync to both to reload your full content in any case. The backup includes, +"...mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences including settings and data from third-party applications purchased from the App Store."+ It doesn't include iTunes-managed synced content (music, calendars, etc.).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
The reason I'd recommend the home computer is that 3rd party app data is part of the backup, and you'd probably want that restored.

Backup and sync iPhone with broken screen

I recently dropped my iPhone 5s and broke the display. The phone itself is fine; I can still hear it receive text messages and emails but the screen iself is blacked out. I am assuming that it is a hardware problem. Anyway, my friend tried to reset by pressing the home and power button. Now, whenever I plug the phone into a charger or my computer, the phone emits an incessant beeping noise every 5 seconds. What is this noise? And also, I can no longer use features on my phone like Siri and such after my friend tried to reset the phone. Is my phone broken? I cannot really tell if this is a problem that can be fixed with a new screen or if there is something worse wrong with my phone.
Additionally, I have tried to backup my phone by connecting to my computer but it doesn't allow a backup to take place because it needs a passcode to be entered on the phone itself which, of course, is impossible since my display is broken. However, I was able to synchronize my phone to my computer. My question is that, if I get a completely new phone, can I restore to a previous backup and then synchronize to the most recent synchronization? Also, if you have any knowledge on the other questions, I would greatly appreciate some information. Thanks!

Hello,
I apologise if this is a really stupid question.
I last backed up my phone a few weeks ago, carried on taking pictures with it etc, and then dropped it, breaking the screen which turned black with a single white line down the middle.
I can receive calls by guessing where to swipe so it is sort of working.
A new iPhone is in the post, but I can't back this phone up because I get the following message when I try:
"iTunes could not back up the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be backed up."
I have been searching the web, but can't find a way to unlock the phone.
So (unless anyone has a genius idea, in which case I will love them forever), what will I lose if I don't sync?
I don't think I should lose the photos I took since my last sync, since Photostream should take care of that, no?
Many thanks, C
There is no way for you to backup with a broken screen.
You will lose whatever wasn't backup.

Feasbile to use TC as backup and sync platform?

Hi,
I got a Macbook (1,5 year old) and an iMac (less than 1 year old), a time capsule (500gb) (which I also use for Time Machine backups) and some other stuff.
The big deal is that I use the two Mac's as "one" computer, which means that I would like especially iTunes and iPhoto to be the same on the two Mac's.
Should I use the Time Capsule to host the libraries and then have the two Macs sync with that? Can I place the files there for both Mac's to access? (If I do - where do I back up to?)
Or should I use iDisc or a combination or?
Thanks for any pointers.

you can use TC for a common file holder for multiple Macs. I would not base my only copy of anything on the TC. Some other backup means is in order.

Backup and Sync: iTunes

If I did a backup at 1:00PM, then changed some settings and backedup again at 5:00PM, can I restore back to the 1:00 backup?
Thanks-

You probably need more free space on your phone, not in your iCloud account. (Additional iCloud storage doesn't increase the space on your phone.)
Check Settings>General>Usage to see how much available space you have. If you need more and your music is in your iTunes library, delete your music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music, tap Delete. Then back up and sync with iTunes, and sync back the music you still want on your phone.
