Better backup itunes or icloud on old  iphone

Hubby getting new iphone 6 he has old 4S backed up to the cloud, can I still back it up to iTunes?  Will he get all his photos etc back from the cloud he needs them for business thanks

Yes, you can still back up to iTunes in addition to the iCloud backup.
An iCloud backup contains your Camera Roll but does not backup photos which have been transferred from a computer.

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

  • How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

    i just got a new iphone 5C and it wont show up on itunes under devices. my old iphone and my ipod nano both show up. help! i tried all of the apple 'solutions' and none worked. the only thing i did not do was delete and reinstall itunes because i did not want to lose anything

    As you connect your ipod to iTunes, an option in the upper right of the screen will appear. When you click this, it will show the different menu for your ipod.

  • I have set up iTunes and iCloud with my iPhone 4S but have not been able to get information from the manual for transferring contacts from Microsoft Office Outlook to my phone contacts.  Is this possible and, if so, how are the contacts transferred?

    I have set up iTunes and iCloud with my computer and my iPhone 4S but have not been able to determine whether contacts on Microsoft Office Outlook can be transferred from the pc computer to the phone.  Is transfer possible using iTunes or iCloud or other method to transfer the contacts.  If so, what are the steps for making the transfer successful.

  • Remove iCloud from old iphone

    How do I remove iCloud from the iPhone I gave to my sister?
    Thanks!

    Have her erase the phone by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings.  She will need the password for your iCloud ID in order to do this.  Or, you can do erase it remotely using Find My iPhone on icloud.com.  This will remove your account and allow her to set up the phone as a new iPhone.

  • How do I restore from a previous backup point in iCloud on an iPhone 4s?

    Just got my wife a 4s iPhone. During setting it up, I backed up to iCloud her calendar which wiped out her previous calendar that had been backed up from her iPad. Now the new, blank calendar is on both devices. How do I restore it and get out of the dog house?

    Hello Bobby,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with your daughter's iPad. 
    iCloud stores the three most recent backups.  If you would like to restore from your iCloud backup, follow the steps in the section titled "Restore from an iCloud backup" in the article below:

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most fo us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

  • How can I recover photos from old iphone icloud backup to new one?

    Hello, I had an iPhone 4 which I lost and inside there were some great photos that I want now to recover. In the meanwhile I bought an iPhone5S and I just realized that inside the iCloud backup menu is saying that there is a backup of 3GB of my old iPhone. How can I see if in that backup the photos are there? I have connected my iPhoto App to iCloud but it only finds photos from my new iPhone and not the old one...
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi, Tiago, maybe you can get help from data recovery software. Now things get easy now.
    As far as I know, there are three ways to recover deleted contacts and photos from iPhone 5 with iPhone Data Recovery.
    Way 1: Recover deleted photos from iPhone directly
    Way 2: Using iTunes Backup to recover deleted photos
    Way 3: Using iCloud Backup to recover deleted photos
    You can refer the way 3 of how to recover deleted photos from iPhone to recover photos from  old iPhone iCloud backup.
    Good luck to you.

  • HT3406 If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old phone.  Will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps?  Can the old phone be docked up to the computer?  Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some

    If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps?  Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then?  Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way?  In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone?   Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

  • IPhone 6 photo and video retrieval after restoring backup from my old iPhone 5 unit

    Hi,
    I was so excited to use my new iPhone 6 and started taking photos and videos with it. Not to mention that the photos and videos were of my all-time favorite artist during his much-awaited concert . When I got home, I forgot to download all the media files first to my desktop before performing "restore backup" via iTunes so all my old iPhone 5 settings could be duplicated in my new iPhone. Now, I can only access the photos/videos taken from my iPhone 5 in my iPhone 6. Not sure if I could still retrieve the new photos/videos taken recently using my iPhone 6 when they seem to have been overwritten by my old iPhone files. Please help.
    Thanks!

    Correction: the message that iTunes hangs at for hours on end was "Waiting for changes to be applied".
