Can't backup iPhone5 to Powerbook
I have a MacBook Pro Retina with system 10.9.4. I have iTunes 11.4.
I have an iPad Mini and an iPhone 5.
If I connect the iPad to the Powerbook and go to iTunes, I can see library in the upper right hand corner and after clicking on library I can see iPad. When I click on iPad, I see a window that shows some info such as system 7.1.2 and settings such as back up to iCloud or my Powerbook. I have updated both ways without any problem. In the sidebar view I see my iPad and that it has Music, Movies, TV Shows, iBooks and Purchased.
If I eject the iPad and connect the iPhone, then click on library and then iPhone I get a window with only the option to set up as new iPhone or restore from this backup (showing only the iPad). In the sidebar view, there is nothing show below the iPhone device. I do backup using iCloud, but would also like to backup to the Powerbook sometimes.
Hi Brenden,
The nature of my question is the fact that I can't get to a page/window that will allow me to chose to backup my iPhone 5c.
I have looked at the articles that you suggest several times without any success with getting to a page that will allow me to chose to do a backup, such as syncing while using USB. Using the instructions below, after clicking on the iPhone device I don't get taken to a page that shows several tabs that include "summary" nor do I see the "Apply" button. Instead I get a page with only two choices, to set up as new iPhone or restore from this backup (which shows my iPad as the only choice to restore from.

iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
Sync using USB
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

How do I back up my iphone5 to my ICloud account, whqen iI have forgot my restrictions password. My restrictions pass code has my icloud a account greyed out? Can i backup to a wd external harddrive, or try to backup to a new mini-mac, I just purchased yesterday? This is my first iMac and IPhone5, so i am kinda out on my own, and can use some pointers!! My phone is full of pictures, and will not download anything, until i store my pictures somewhere!!
If you don't remember your restrictions passcode, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions passcode is part of the backup.
Everything on the phone will be lost.
You can extract the photos from the camera roll the same way you would from any other digital camera. Having a restriction passcode set should not prevent that. do that before you put the phone in recovery mode and restore it. -
Can I backup a powerbook operating 10.4.11 to a time capsule? If so how?
can I backup a powerbook operating 10.4.11 to a time capsule? If so how? I am already using another Powerbook with Time Machine to do automatic back ups but that operates on OS 10.5.8.
If you connect the Tiger PB via FireWire Target Disk Mode to the TM-ready computer, you may be able to archive it that way....

Hard drive backup for sending powerbook in for repair
I'm not sure how to ask this in mac speak so please bare with me.
I'm about to send my Powerbook in for repair (mechanical not software) I want to backup my HDD so that in the event that something happens I can restore my powerbook to the condition it was in before it went to the shop.
Although I've done this hundreds of times on PC's I'm not familiar with what the mac equivalent to a disc imaging software would be.
Any insight would be apreciated.I use Déjà Vu, and its cloning instructions (in the ? icon at the bottom). In addition to creating a boot-able backup on an external FireWire drive, you can schedule backups of project folders and settings, or just your home folder to said drive. I usually keep nearly everything I work on in one projects folder to simplify things. A weekly backup of your home folder will also help you keep settings that change over time too.
Additionally, you'll want to insure that the external FireWire drive is the same or larger than your original built-in drive (and faster is better, but more expensive, and 2.5" form factor drives can also be more portable since they don't require a power cable), so that you can utilize its Safety Net backups (copies of deleted/changed items).

I upgraded itunes since a pop up stated that I would have to upgrade it so it can recognize my iphone5's new software. I upgraded the itunes and now when I plug in the iphone its asking "set up as new iphone" will this delete everything on my phone? Also why is it forcing me to set up as a new iphone, why doesn't it recognize it like it did before I upgraded iTunes. I'm afaid I will lose all my apps, music, pictures etc. please help. thank you.
You are correct. Corrupted files are in the backup. If you've already restored the iPhone it has been erased and starting over is the way to go in order to eliminate the corrupted files.
Hope that helps -

Uhhh. MacBook Pro or PowerBook?
You've got a PowerBook, as I think that's what you're saying - All MBP's are faster than 867mhz, which is the Leopard requirements so you MUST have a PowerBook G4 no? If so, there's a nifty firmware trick that you can use to get around the installer, but it is ONLY for Power PC macs, NOT Intel ones - and follow the directions to the letter.
http://lowendmac.com/osx/leopard/openfirmware.html - I used this to install Leopard on an 800mhz flat panel iMac, and the machine runs a treat!
QuickTime is slower than it was under Tiger, so VLC makes the stand-in for video and other than that, it handles iTunes fantastically.
And of course, the caveat is have everything backed up in case some part of the install goes pear-shaped.

How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup I have on my same iCloud account. The old one is totally gone. Both backups are listed on my iCloud account. So is there any way I can backup the one I have now to the other one. I really just want the pictures that are in the old backup. I have tried resetting and erasing all settings and data on the one I still have, but when I go to restore by iCloud; it only gives me the choice of restoring the same iPad. Then in iCloud>storage>backup, I'm still not able to choose which backup to backup to. I've even tried deleting the backup to the iPad I still have, then resetting all setting and data on the iPad, hoping that in resetting up the iPad it would give me the option to backup to my old iPad. But it doesn't. It still has memory of the backup of my newer iPad.
I JUST WANT THE PICTURES!!!
Thank you!!!
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 6.1.3, iCloud BackupYou now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device. I tried many ways, fortunately, I got a tool from http://tinyurl.com/Data-Recovery-iPhone to help me recover lost files easily! It supports iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc iOS devices!

Time Capsule can't backup external hard drives connected to it. Got that.
Hello Apple Support Communities! This is my first post. Hope this finds you all well My first year as an Apple user. I bought a 2-Tb TC and am running my first backup to my MacBook as I write this.
Problem statement: TC can't backup external hard drives connected directly to it, but the ones connected to the Macs that are connected wirelessly to it. Duly noted. However, the Spotlight will reindex the hard drives connected to the Mac and that will take hours; the whole backup will take days. Thus, excluding the hard drives at "System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy tab" will probably help reduce the time of backup, or just ejecting them will do too. That itself has not proven effective coz it's still taking forever (50Gb in 2 days, still going).
Questions:
1) Do I wait until my first backup to my MacBook's internal hard drive is done before I connect my hard drives to my MacBook and attempt another backup? If yes, how do I go about the excessive time Spotlight reindexing takes if I intend to backup my hard drives connected to my MacBook?
2) Is there any other way of speeding up the first-time backup?
*Note: All versions of OS and firmwares are up-to-date. TC is connected to an external wireless router. TC is intended to be used as backup device and / or file server only.
P/S: Apologee if this has already been discussed before, thus, a link to previous discussion thread would highly be appreciated)
- Shook Hashem, Malaysia.How do I backup the externel hard drives connected to my MB. I was under the impression that that has already been done, because I've read it somewhere in a discussion that said it's done automatically unless I exclude it from a backup, which I didn't. So it's supposed to backup the external hard drivestoo because I had them connected to my MB the entire time during the backups.
By default an external drive is excluded.. the list is odd.. if I plug a drive into the mac.. it immediately is listed as excluded.
This is not the list of included.. this is the list of excluded.. remove it from the excluded list to include it.
It is kind of reverse polish notation in backups.
If I want to enter the Time Machine, should I enter it with the TM turned on or off?
Not sure what the question means. If you use the star wars display and want to recover files then use TM off.. but read up pondini.. how to do restore etc.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
15A in particular on the how to use TM.
When do I uplug the ethernet and use the wireless connection instead?
Once you have finished the main backup you can go back to wireless. The incremental backups are mostly very small. -
How can I backup all my apps and contains in my iPhone to iCloud?
I was trying to backup my iPhone to iCloud through my laptop. It was backing-up normally at first, but then, it stopped for a sudden. I retried again but its not been backup. I tried again for a several times and I did check my iCloud storage and it's nothing. It only appeared "Your iPhone has never been backed up to iCloud". I checked all my iPhone setting and as well as my laptop; it's all fine, nothing is wrong with it. But I just can't backup my iPhone to the iCloud.
Check the apps and features below the settings > iCloud
features that are activated on this list, they will be backed-up. -
How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion? 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.
Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane. -
Hello Apple Community,
Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account?
For example: iPad Air and iPhone 5, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud). Is this possible?
This way when I change from an old ipad to a new, I can restore with the ipad backup, and when I change from an old iphone to a new, I can restore from the
iphone backup.
Thank you in advance!Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"? There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
Read references for Home Sharing.
iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
The above can get pretty complicated. You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content. -
Multiple apple IDs, now i can't backup, HELP :(
okay, so, I got my first apple product when i was like, 13, or something, iPod nano.
I set it up and everything, but my mom wouldn't let me create an apple ID, so, she created one, and when I purchased songs, it went through her account.
well, now I'm 22, and I have my own apple ID that two old iPods, an iPod touch, an iPad, and my boyfriends iPhone are all authorized for, plus, at least three authorized computers. and I plan to get my own iPhone at upgrade time next month.
The problem is, with the iPad, my boyfriend and I purchased it together and registered it under his account but most of the purchases are from mine, so with every update, sync, and purchase we have to enter both our apple IDs, which is annoying enough, but it's worse with my iPod touch. It has my old purchases through my mom's account, my purchases, my boyfriends purchases, and songs his sister bought for him when his whole family shared the same apple ID. I'm trying to update to iOS5, but I can't backup now, because I have to enter my apple ID, my mom's apple ID, my boyfriends apple ID AND his sisters apple ID just to do ANYTHING.
and now, since the rules for password strength have changed, at one point or another all of these apple IDs have been changed. and now, I don't know my mom's password, so I can't update or even sync because I have to verify her password that I don't even know!
So my question is, what do I do!?
And is there any way to make this less roundabout and annoying?You cannot merge apple ids, but you can sign out of the apple id and sign in under the other one either on your phone or your mac. On your phone, go to settings, itunes and appstore, tap your apple id, tap sign out, then go back to home screen, then back into itunes an appstore and sign in with the apple id you want to use.

How can I backup NAS drive to Time Capsule using Time Machine?
My itunes library is on a USB HD that's connected to my time capsule, essentially turning the drive into a NAS drive. Is there anyway I can include this drive in time machine backups? So basically, time machine would be backing up the hard drive connected to the time capsule... to the time capsule.
Thanks. SteveSorry, but not possible. The Time Capsule can only backup an internal drive on a computer and an external drive that is attached directly to a computer.

Can you backup to 2 different Time Capsules?
I have a TC at home and one at work. Can I backup to both?
Yes, you can do this, but you must manually point your computer at the Time Capsule that you want use to each time you change locations.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Click Time Machine
Click Select Disk
Highlight your Time Capsule
Click Use for Backups
