Hi Bob211267,
Information on how to back up your iPhone can be found in this article -

  • Where are the backup files for iPhone stored on windows 7?

    Can't find backup files for iPhone on pc using windows 7. Other posts list a path but the folders listed do not show up on my pc. Lost several file entries when updating to ios5. Files that were shown dated from an older backup.

    As an addendum, if I need to, and hopefully won't, unless I switch computers, how can I revert from a copy of a different backup?  Thanks. :-)

  • Compatible Backup battery for Iphone 3G ?

    Hi, I've been looking around for backup battery for Iphone 3G and have no luck at all since most of them are for Ipods and Iphone 2G. Then I bought one that was made for Ipod and tried it on my Iphone, it worked perfectly. The question is: Is it ok to keep using it eventhough it's not made for 3G ? Is it gonna damage the Iphone 3G in someway ? Thank you.

    I just ordered this one on the 13th
    It can fast charge the iPhone 3G and it works with the first generation iPhone.
    it might work with iPods too maybe check it out.

  • Best backup program for iPhone 3GS??

    I am looking for the BEST backup program for the above - not only a program which makes backups of the programs, but ALO the contents of the programs - of everything! Any recommendations, thanks!

    I agree with the first reply UNLESS your iPhone is not being backed up by iTunes because it gets stuck. I actually just posted a question in re to this problem. For all you Apple owners I know, I should've bought an Apple. Well, I've owned three iMacs in the last 3 years and they are fabulous computers- u just didn't have 1300 laying around this time so I got a pretty powerful PC for 600.
    Anyway, my point being iTunes works great as a backup app for the iPhone. I just think my issue is I'm using Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 64-bit and there might be some glitch because as soon as I click the 'x' besides "Backing up iPhone..,." it syncs fine, I just don't have a backup. Unfortunately I didn't get the Apple protection plan for the iPhone, but I doubt it's the phone anyway. Thanks.

  • Not enough icloud backup storage for iphone 5 64GB

    It would seem that someone has dropped the ball with regards to icloud backup for iphone 5 64GB. icloud only offers 55 GB of storage. My complaint is obviously redundant!

    Hi Buddhathoughts,
    The reason that Apple only goes up to that much storage is that some of the items on your device don't count against the icloud storage. Here is a quote from Apple's icloud description. " And that’s plenty of room, because of the way iCloud stores your content. Your purchased music, movies, apps, books, and TV shows — as well as your Photo Stream — don’t count against your free storage. That 5GB goes a long way for your mail, documents, account information, settings, and other app data."
    So if you have purchased 10GB of Tv shows, that 10GB will not count against your icloud storage. Also, with photos and videos. The photos and videos in your camera roll will count against your storage. But the photos(videos are not in the photo stream) in your photo stream will not count against your storage.
    I hope that answered your question.

  • Ios7 music sync problems for iPhone 4S

    Like many other folks I made the huge mistake of updating (NOT upgrading) to io7, in my case 7.0.4, then trying to sync musci from iTunes.  I first upgraded (ha!) to iTunes 11.1.3, then found I was lost in the 'waiting for changes' zone.  I've now been working on this problem for hours, along with a host of other ios7-related changes (e.g. the inability to limit the number of gmail messages ported into active memory).  I've tried most of the fixes others have listed [remove all sync flags, rebuild playlist, clean out chinese characters, etc.] and finally got one sync to make it through the 'veil', but subsequent syncs now get stuck as well.  I have not tried a full restore and really don't want to go down that path. This is pathetic, and the total cone of Apple silence about this issue makes you wonder where their customer focus disappeared to.  Any other ideas?

    This is a user to user forum, there is no Apple here.

  • Backup problem with iPhone 4

    My iPhone 4 is set to backup automatically to the iCloud but since 17-APR the backup date does not change when I sync the phone. Anyone else have this problem?

    Syncing and backing up are not the same activity.
    Backing up automatically to iCloud requires your iPhone to be plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi.
    I believe you are doing syncing using iTunes on your computer.
    While syncing, you should see a "Back up now" button on the right side of iTunes on the iPhone's summary page.

  • Backup power for iPhone?

    Wondering if anyone has found a suitable backup power source for charging when one is not near an AC outlet? I looked at Energi to go but could not determine if the adapter would work with the iPhone. I ask because I've been giving it heavy use and had a couple of times on the commute home when the battery died. Would have been nice to be able to plug in a battery pack for some juice. There are no such products listed on the Accessories section of Apple.com. Any third party ones worth looking at?

    I've seen good comments about the Javoedge, but no personal experience.

    There is also this at your local Radio Shack, again no personal experience.

  • Lock Button Problems for iPhone 4

    I'm having problems with my lock button for my iPhone4 . I need to press real hard to get it to lock or turn off / turn on.
    How can I fix it? Or; How much would it cost for apple to repair it?

    The iphone has a one year warranty.
    Make an appointment at the local genius bar ro call Apple Support. If your iphone is defective, then they will replace it.

  • HT4946 Can we change the default backup directory for iPhones in iTunes ?  My C:\ drive is FULL due to the 64 GB backup that I just tried to do... I have an external that would handle it.

    Finally!  After jumping thru 15,000 hoops I finally get to ask my question!
    I have a 40 GB main drive that is full to bursting on account of iTunes backing up my iPhone to it [64 GB iPhone].  All I ever intended to put on this drive was my OS [Win XP], then all sorts of programs that I chose to install started defaulting to it without the option of changing the drive designation.  Enter Apple, who does the same thing and then offers no clear way to change it!  GRRRRRR!
    Can someone please find an easy way for me to back this thing up without selling a kidney to afford the iCloud [which I rashly assumed was free according to the advertising!  5 GB wouldn't back up my notes let alone my apps or photos!  The Cloud should match the size of device you purchase!]
    Thanks,
    Dave

    What computer do you have?

  • Wifi connection problems for iphone 4S. Help please!

    I just got the iphone 4S the other day and was able to connect to my wifi and now 3 days later it won't let me connect to it? It asks me to put in the password and I KNOW I'm putting in the correct password. Any idea what could be causing me to not be connected now. It is frustrating because it won't let me get on itunes, download apps or do facetime which is what I really wanted to try to do.

        Hi jenjenjab19
    The problems you have described are very frustrating. I would be glad to look into this with you.
    Have you tried resetting your home Wifi? Please try a soft reset on the iPhone and retest. Here's how to reset the device: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=47670
    Please let me know if this helps.

  • HT4623 iTunes problems for iPhone 4

    I updated my iphone 4 with the latest software update. I wanted to have music when going on vacation in December on the plane ride so I decided to try and connect my iTunes for the first time to my iPhone and it says " The iphone "alexs iphone" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.tunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes." I have both my computer and my iTunes updated so why is it saying this?! Help!

    Officially, there is no way to do that, & since Apple owns/runs this forum, the Host's won't permit posting links to such.
    You'll have to use Google & go elsewhere.
