Backup of Apps

Can someone tell me how I can get iTunes to automatically backup apps downloaded directly on the iPhone. I know that there is an option in the File Menu but I want this to be an automatic process.
I tried to call Apple Support and they were not very helpful at all.

If there is an App installed on your phone which is not on your computer, iTunes should ask you if you would like to copy that app to your computer the next time you sync. Make sure you set up to transfer all applications in iTunes (rightmost tab in the phone setup).

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage. In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud. To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back. (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

Hi, I upgraded my girlfriend's iPad 2 using my iMac, however, her iPad was sync with her PC. Although I've made backup earlier, when I restore from backup the apps doesn't sync back, neither her documents on pages. How can I put then back to her iPad?

The backup saves many settings, but it copies photos and other files from the computer back to the iPad after IOS5 wipes the disk. Plugging it into her computer will re-sync it.

Anyway try this
1.Connect iPhone to PC.
2.Open iTunes

4.Go to Apps Tab
5.Under File Sharing Section Click on Music Downloader
6.Right side if you see your songs click on one song and press (CTRL + A).(hope you are using windows) and click on save and then save to a folder on your computer.
7. Later just do steps till 5 to put to new iPhone then ...........
8.Click on save and select the music files which u want to put in that app.
9.Click on apply to sync.
10.You should be having the music in that app

IPad/iPhone Backup/Management App for PC?

I'm fed up with the massive headache that's called iTunes. I don't want a Backup/Management App for my iPad and iPhone that is music centric. I have a lot of valuable information, applications, photos, videos, and documents on my iPad and iPhone that needs to be effectively backed up and managed. And yes, I want to back up/management my music too. I want a well written app that does it all. Is there an application that does this?
Dan.

Thanks for answering. I don't like the answer, but it's what I expected.
Regards,

I am trying to backup my apps and I've already authorized my computer, but I get an error saying I need to authorize my computer.

I am trying to backup my apps and I've already authorized my computer, but it's giving me the error that I need to authorize my computer even though I already have.

I am having a similiar problem. I did not ever have the problem with Lion and my 4gen iPad.
I allowed the Mavericks update just about the same time that AppleCare put a new Motherboard in this computer, so I don't know if either of those has anything to do with this or not? (4 year old MBP 17 dual i7)
But now when I reboot my MBP, it tells me that this computer is not authorized to play, sync, etc.. with my iPod (or iPhone) and asks me for my password. With I enter it, I get a message that says "This computer is already authorized". I have 4 Apple ID's and it asks me to enter that information for every single one and then tells me that the computer is already authorized.
How can I enter this ONCE and make it stick?
Thanks,
Kirk

Backup/Restore App -- stores backups where? "Delete record" does what?

I had used the Backup/Restore app under 4.1.x to backup the table to itself. Upon installing the 4.2.2 update, there was some message about did I want to delete unusable 4.1 Backups? IIRC, I said no. Went into the App to make sure I knew what I was about to "delete" and did a "Delete Backup Record".
Concern is that free storage changed much less than I expected. Not sure how big the backup would have been but it sure took a lot longer to write than only the hunderd or so MB freed up would suggest.
Any idea where the locally stored backups are stored ? Went looking with Astro and found nothing obvious...
Anybody can confirm "Delete Backup Record" actually deletes the backed-up data not just the metadata of it having been done?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Backups are stored in the folder ".semc-fullbackup" on the internal storage or SD-card. This is a hidden folder so you need to select Show hidden files in Astro.
Deleting a backup from Backup & restore show remove all files in that backup.

I had to perform a master reset on my HTC one, before doing so the phone was backed up using the backup assistant app. Now there is no restore button I can find to get my contacts back. How do I restore my contacts?

I had to perform a Master Reset on my HTC One while trying to work through an issue. This was done with a Verizon rep on the phone and we performed a backup using backup assistant. Now I am not able to restore my contacts because I do not have a "restore" soft button when I open the backup assistant app. How do I restore my contacts?

Have you updated the dreaded Backup Assistant program? I think you need to do this first before you can restore.

I changed my primary email address because I could not access my old email and now my new iphone asks me to sign in to my old account in order to backup my apps and music from my icloud

I changed my primary email address because I could not access my old email and now my new iphone asks me to sign in to my old account in order to backup my apps and music from my icloud. when I try to sign in using my password it says it is the wrong password.

If you are only updating apps, that's normal Apps and other purchased media are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. You also don't back up apps or music to iCloud, the only thing backed up to iCloud is your app data, which is part of your iCloud backup by default.
Is your phone signed into the old ID in Settings>iCloud?

How do I backup ALL of my iPad content onto a newly purchased MacBook Air? I can't backup up apps or music from CDs through the device backup function.

First you need to authorize your MBA with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad. This will transfer/copy all iTunes content on your iPad that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
Photos on your iPad that were transferred from your old computer need to be transferred from your old computer to your MBA.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal if you aren't syncing this content over the air with an iCloud account, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your MBA. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your MBA with iPhoto or the Image Capture application.

HT1766 I cannot backup my apps from my iphone4 to my new comp

I cannot backup my apps from my iphone4 to my new comp (which doesnt have any apps in the itunes) for my iphone 5.
it requires me to burn into a CD or DVD or using local sharing network to do so. well... a bit inconvenience...
Please help.

You should have a folder within Itunes folder names Mobile Applications. If not, it got deleted. If all the apps you had on your computer are all the same ones on your phone, just connect your phone, and transfer purchases in itunes (right-click your phone name in the devices column).

How to backup purchased app to itunes library and restore

Connect your device to iTunes. The device should show at the top right just next to the iTunes Store button.
Or on a Mac to View > Show Sidebar, on a PC press Ctrl+S and the device should show in the sidebar

Question about backup assistant app on Iphone 4s

My mom just gave me here Iphone 4s (I came from a dumbphone) and I had backup assistant on my old dumbphone, and my mom had backup assistant on her iphone, they verizon employee told me to wipe the iphone, download backup assistant app and sync so I don't get both her contacts and mine on the phone.
but I was wondering instead, if I could delete all her contacts and then run backup assistant instead of completely wiping the phone, would that work?

If you do have contacts stored on backup assistant, go to backupassistant.vzw.com, select all contacts and export to csv file. Then import contacts to your email account through gmail/yahoo and use itunes to transfer your gmail/yahoo contacts into the iphone. That was the easiest way I could figure out on my own. Should help.
Peace and love.

How do you backup an app called Pen and Paper?

How do you backup an app called Pen and Paper to ensure that the sheets created are saved? I lost them when I tried to backup and sync my device, then upgraded to iOS 10.5. What might have happened?

When you backup your iPad, the app data (not the app) is stored in that backup. When you updated, it should have restored the app data assuming you installed your backup when requested during the update.
