Backup for lost iPhone

Hi Guys!
I Just lost my iPhone at sea... My question now is if there is any way to get the hold of the pictures in the phone? It was saved from my last phone alot of pictures into something called Photo Stream. I am not very technical but i would really appreciate some help!

Hi Hindersbo,
If the photos on the phone were synced to either a personal or shared Photo Stream prior to it being lost, you may find the following articles helpful:

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken!

While trying to update my iPhone 4s I received this "iTunes could not backup the i Phone "Owner's iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again. I have a PC and cannot find the backup in question to delete. Any ideas?

Here are location of your Backup folder(s):

Winxp- C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup

How to resolve error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again."

I inadvertently deleted my iPhone backup on my MacBook Pro. I restored iPhone to factory settings and then synced remotely with iCloud. However the error message repeatedly states:
iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again.
Any ideas as to how this can be resolved please. Thank you very much.

My wife's iPhone 5 would not backup, after upgrading to iOS 8.     The "genius" at the Apple store succeeded in DELETING, the only recent backup of her phone so
recovery became more critical.
I followed all the procedures for troubleshooting it, but still it would try to backup and then stop due to an error. We particularly wanted to preserve some game data/history/progress that she'd been working on for years.      This game (Dream Fish) would no longer open after the iOS 8 upgrade ... and the phone would not successfully backup, and so we had no confidence that it would restore from an older backup either.       I googled for solution and found Phoneview and iFunBox.      These apps allow you to see & access data files in the iPhone.      Phoneview was too fragile and crashed when copying a file any size.
I found "iFunBox".     iFunBox was excellent.      I used iFunBox to recover her game data.    It allows you to make a copy of data files that reside on the iPhone... and store them as a manual backup on the Mac.
And in the process I found 2 games that caused iFunBox to crash.      The 2 games in question were not important enough to try to keep, so I deleted them from the iPhone.
So then, I had a manual backup of the important iPhone data, and had eliminated two game files that apparently had a conflict with iOS 8.
My next Backup attempt was successful.        The iPhone with iOS 8 would now backup to both the Mac and to the Cloud.
Next I deleted Dream Fish from the iPhone and downloaded a fresh version from the Cloud.    The new Dream Fish with no history opened in iOS 8.
Then I used iFunBox to copy my wife's Dream Fish data history from the Mac back into the new game.
Once the transfer was complete, Dream Fish would now OPEN and all of her progress was there and working like normal.
Hope this helps.

HT1766 Error message: "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again." But how do I delete the backup?

Error message when attempting to backup up iPhone4S to Mac says "iTunes could not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again." But how do I delete the backup? Can't find answer to that anywhere.

We had this problem after upgrading to iOS 8.       The iPhone 5 would not backup either to the cloud or to the computer.   Backup always ended with an error message.
Long story short, with the help of iFunBox ( which I used to make manual backups of some important iPhone data files ), I discovered two games that
would crash iFunBox.      They were not important games for us, so I didn't try to isolate the offending data files.     And I deleted the two games from the iPhone.
Apparently these two games conflicted with iOS 8 just as they did with iFunBox.      The next backup without those games was then successful.
I backed up to both the Mac and the cloud.
Hope this helps.

I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends. She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it. Really need some help. Shouldnt her apps and details be saved online in the itunes store? Even her apps wont appear

If you create an Apple ID for your daughter, signing out of the existing Apple ID with the iTunes & App Store on her iPhone will not change anything on your iPhone.
All apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
If she starts using her Apple ID to download apps, when there is an app update for an app on her iPhone that was downloaded with the current shared Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password to download the app updates.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
yes, it wouldn't be there when you looked at your iCloud storage (settings > iCloud > storage and back up)

I have deleted my backup for my iphone on my computer

How can I get my backup back or download?
I use a windows 7 pc!
Thanks

If it is still in the recycle bin on your computer, simply restore it to the original location.
Check the backup of your computer, assuming you actually backup the computer.
If you do not backup the computer and it's not in the recycle bin, there is nothing to restore.
The backups of the iPhone only exist on your computer and the backup of your computer (if you back it up). The backups NEVER get uploaded anywhere unless YOU upload them somewhere.

Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

Help finding IMEI number and proof of purchase for lost iPhone!

Hi everyone,
I recently lost my iPhone 4 and for the life of me cannot find any record of my IMEI number, which I will need to make an insurance claim. Does anyone know where I might be able to get a hold of this for instance through iTunes on the computer that I backed it up on, or over iCloud?
Also, for the insurance claim, I need to have a proof of purchase. I no longer have the receipt from when I bought it (in an Apple store), however, would it be possible to get something through Apple themselves that would act as a proof of purchase?
Many thanks in advance!
Nick

The SN is on your box, you can also find it by going to iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu in Windows)>Devices...hoover your mouse pointer over your iPhone backup, & a popup will appear showing your SN & IMEI number.
As for a copy of your purchase receipt, call AppleCare, or login to your support profile online.

Does iTunes backup each piece of equipment into a separate account? When I retrieve backup for my iPod I get the backup for my iPhone.

I have 1 iPod touch, 1 iPod 4th gen, 1 iPhone 3GS, 1 iPad, and 2 iPAD2's on my account. Is there a maximum number of units that you can have on 1 account. Also how do backups work? Do they all backup to 1 account or do they backup to separate accounts for each unit. When I do a software upgrade I wind up with info from my iPhone on my iPod despite not letting it synch.

I have a dead Quad Pro
Susan,
how dead is your computer?
Did the system drive survive? You could get try to remove the drive from the mac and have it put into an enclosue, so you can use it as an external drive.
But if the system drive is dead as well, I do not see a way to read the data on your dead computer.

How do I set up backup for multiple iphones (40 ) in one Itune?

We will as soon as IP5 is released transfer all of our users from IP3/4 (40+) and to make that progress smoothly
we want to backupp all IP's on one computer.
Is it possible to backup multible iphones/Ipads in one Itune?
How do I set it up?
/Anders

Some of the "sync cart" solutions will hold anywhere from 10 to 40 devices and sync them all to one host pc.....you can also connect multiple devices to a powered usb hub and all of the connected devices will appear on the left side of iTunes...I think the main challenge would be giving each device a meaningful and unique name so that you could identify it when attempting to restore it...we are looking at the the Ergotron tablet management module, they have a user guide that describes the process for connecting multiple devices through their module to one host pc. You might also look at this solution, which is on the Apple Store.
