Backup when updating 2.2.1

When my new iPhone synched it detected v2.2.1 and is installing it now. Right now a little dialog box is displaying "Backing up Doug's iPhone", so I assume it is backing up the old system and also contents.
To where is this backed up? And could it be restored should I want to?
Thanks,
doug
p.s. There must be a comprehensive owner's manual online somewhere, right? I will look around.

Apple has not yet released said update or any dates for an update; they haven't even mentioned anything. They are all tied up with new and old iPhone and MobileMe customers' problems right now.

  • Do we need to stop DPM backups when updating SP2013 with CU

    Hi - planning to install the Dec14 CU and want to know if it is required to Stop DPM protection when running PSConfig?
    Our DPM guy says DPM protection cannot be paused - only stopped and this would remove the Protection group completely and we would need to reconfigure afterwards. He thinks that because DPM bacup is different to SQL in that it only reads the T Logs to synchronize
    every 15min after the daly full backup at 8PM - so as long as we avoid running PSConfig when the full backup runs it should be no problem
    I have always had SQL backups stopped when updating SharePoint - is the DPM guy right that I don't need to worry about DPM syncs?
    Thanks
    J

    Hi,
    As my understanding, your DPM guy is correct. DPM utilize VSS to protect your database, so there should be no impact when you upgrade SharePoint with DPM up. If you are not assured to do this, I suggest you set up an all in one test environment to test it.
    Meanwhile, I would like to share the DPM Application Data Synchronization Process
    for your reference.

  • Necessary to create backup when updating to 10.4.9 & 10.4.10

    I've waited long enough to update my OS, and now, after finding more and more applications and hardware I want to use require later versions of Tiger to run, I would like to perform a software update, from 10.4.8 to at least 10.4.10. My questions are:
    1) Should I make a backup of my files before this update?
    2) What's the best way to backup my current system & files? I have an external hard drive I plan to use.
    3) Are there any known issues with an update like this that I should be aware of for my computer model?

    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
    And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • Why did I lose apps in backup when updating to iOS5?

    I updated phone and computer to iOS5 after syncing to iTunes.  Now I cannot get my apps back...why?  Where did they go?  What use is a backup if you cannot bring back the information?

    The backup doesn't contain content, just data. Do the apps not reside in iTunes?
    You can still reload them at any rate

  • Why does my iPhone 4 automatically cancel backup when updating to iOS 5?

    i sync it and back it up before , not sure if it backs up everything or as much as the back up preceding the update does. and when it waits for a while, goes a very small amout, it says cancelling sync, waits a while, and disconnects sync. ???

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    Everything should be on your computer.
    You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
    You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
    Most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

  • IPhone/iTunes backup error when updating to iOS 4.2

    Just bought an Iphone 4 a few days ago and tried several times to update it to iOS 4.2.... it fails EVERY TIME when the iTunes tries to proceed the phone's backup. An error occur and closes the iTunes without updating the phone.
    Such problem didn't happen when updating my iPad... really don't know how to skip this problem and finally update my iPhone properly.
    *** Apple!?!?!?
    PS. I already downloaded the iTunes again, tried to "restore" my iPhone but the same thing keeps happening...

    i have iphone 3gs and this has just happened to me, just in the middle of restoring it now, dread to think whats been lost on it.

  • How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

    How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

    Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
    Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
    You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
    Hope that helps...
    If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

  • Error when updating Playbook OS version via Blackberry Desktop Manager

    Greeting,
    I have a batch of old playbooks which having the stack charging issue, but I found that I can update the OS to the newest version (2.1.0.1917) via Blackberry Desktop Manager, then the charging algorithm will be changed to the updated one and go over this dead battery issue. I was able to do so successfully in the past week smoothly on several devices.
    But since this Monday, the Desktop Manager is saying "An updated Blackberry Desktop Software component must be installed before you can continue" when downloading the Desktop software and will appear "There was an error updating your software, an error has occurred while downloading the Blackberry Desktop Software.Please try again." and preventing the process. Seems there are some change on the server side starting this week which has caused this problem, but there's no error code to locate the exact issue.
    I tried on 2 different computers as well as completed uninstalling and re-installing the Desktop manager, also tried to disable the automatic update as been advised in some threads. So no clue how to deal with it for now. It will be highly appreciate if some one can share some idea.
    I've attached the step by step screenshots for reference, where you can find here:

    Can you advise where I can find info on "disable the automatic update"?
    just ignore the update if you dont want it on the playbook
    for reloading the OS
    First I would like you to do a Back Up of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    This can be downloaded for free from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    After the Back Up is complete I need you to unplug your PlayBook and then push and hold down the Power Button until the unit Force Powers Off.
    Now, while Desktop Software is still open on your computer and the PlayBook Powered Off, Connect the PlayBook to your computer.
    You should see and error screen from Desktop Software pop up that has the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
    QUICKLY choose the Update option.
    This will erase all the information off of your PlayBook and Re-Write the Software back onto it. Once it's complete your PlayBook will need to go back through the setup wizard, and you can then perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your information. The only thing that won't come back after the restore are the apps that you downloaded from App World but they can be easily Re-Installed using the My World feature in App World.

  • I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them

    I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them.  I have already tried to restore through my PC but the photos are still not there.  Any thoughts?

    If you haven't backup up your phone, then your photos are gone.
    In addition you should import your photos to your PC, just like a ditigal camera, as a secondary backup in case you lose your pics you could always sync it back using Itunes.

    also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

    You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
    USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

  • When updating Vaults

    When updating Vaults, Aperture creates files on my external hard drive, "Images removed from Aperture Vaults". Does anybody keep these or simply trash them?

    Nope.  It's just a folder, and stuff that's removed from the Vault goes there as a last chance.
    So it goes like this:
    Aperture library (backup) ->Vault (deleted from vault ) -> Vault (deleted images)
