Apple reserves the right to delete backups after 180 days of inactivity. As stated in If you need help restoring an iCloud backup:
"If you haven't backed up your iOS device to iCloud for 180 days or longer, Apple reserves the right to delete the backups associated with that device. Review the iCloud Terms and Conditions for more information."

HT1766 delete corrupted iphone back up
How do you delete corrupted Iphone 4s back files from your computer so you can back up your iphone like you normally would?
From the web:
iPhone Backup Location for Mac OS X
in Mac OS X your iPhone files are backed up at the following location:
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The (~) symbol signifies your home directory, which is the same place all your other personal documents are stored.
iPhone Backup Location for Windows 7, XP, and Vista
Windows XP stores all of your iPhone backup files in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista and Windows 7 backs up the iPhone files to here:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Obviously if your main drive is not C: then you’ll have to change that, same goes for ‘user’
Note to Windows users: the Application Data and AppData directories and their contents (iPhone backups included) are considered ‘hidden’ so you will need to enable ‘Show hidden files’ within Windows Explorer before you will be able to see the files. -
I deleted my iphone back up is there any way to restore my photos
I was told by an apple rep when my phone was crashing to back up my phone to the cloud. The battery was dying so it would not. Then she told me me to delete some apps that I didn't use. Then she told me to delete my back up and then to re=-back up. The phone died and was sent to be repaired, but all my photos are missing!!! What can I do? Some a not replaceable.

Unfortunately I did not install find my iphone in the lost iphone so I cant use it . Can they restore the information and photos easily?! I mean the computer does not ask them for the passcode or the password of the apple ID inorder to complete the process of restoring?!
If they do restore it in iTunes, that process is going to wipe all your content from it, so your information would be gone. Yes, they can then go on and use your device as theirs, but your information is wiped from it at that point.
For future reference, along with the passcode, you can set it to erase everything after 10 failed passcode attempts. As long as you have regularly sync'd content back to your computer and maintained an up to date backup, you have safeguarded your content for your own recovery and use.
And in iOS 7 an iCloud account and find my phone activation is worth it just for Activation Lock, even if you don't care about any other iCloud features (all of which you can simply disable and not use if you choose to). -

I want to delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone. Will I lose any pictures? Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up. Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.
Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud. It doesn't do anything to the data currently in your account or on your devices. To delete it, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of the device that you want to delete the backup for, then tap Delete Backup.
You can't see anything in an iCloud backup, if that's want you're asking. You can only restore it to your device. You can, of course, see your other iCloud data. -
I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?
Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
1. You don't need to.
2. Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
3. Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
4. It restricts it to Wifi. If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
5. Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
6. The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say. It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though. -
I'm unable to backup my iphone. It is saying 'iTunes could not backup because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the i Phone.' i deleted my previous back up but it still isn't helping. Any suggestions ?
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
Delete the entire Backup folder if there is anything at all in it. -
have an encrypted copy of my iPhone back up on my laptop. forgotten the access code. I have deleted the back up and want to remove the encryption option and resynch with my iphone none encrypted, what are my options other than removing iTune from my laptop and reloading it
1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores. -

I lost my iphone 4, i now have an iphone 5. I tried to restore the phone from the back up but i accidently pressed "restored back" up intead.
Now i can't seem to access the old back ups for the new phone. Does this mean Icloud has deleted the old back ups?
Help!

When you have access to your iPhone again, FaceTime is a pre installed app that cannot be removed.

I recently restored my iphone 4 when it froze up and when the restore was done, I had over 4000 emails in my inbox. All my deleted messages came back. How do I stop that from happening? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
You have POP mail account. That's how those types of email accounts work.
You want an IMAP type of account, where if you delete on phone, it will also delete on server. Should you ever restore your device again it will only update the mail that hasn't been deleted.
You didn't say which email service you use, but try contacting them to see if they offer IMAP. Or you can switch. -
I tried to sync my iphone 4, all my contact list got messed up, all of them got douplicated. And plus I got some of my old deleted contact lists back to my iphone!!what should I do?
iTunes only keeps one backup, every new backup replaces the old one, only backups used to restore from are not overwritten and marked with a time stamp.
If you can't find any other backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, your contact info's are gone. Only if you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you would be able to restore the old backup folder containing the latest backup at that time.
The location of the backup folder is described in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups -
I updated to iOS7 and my deleted photos came back. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again?
I updated to iOS7 and my deleted photos came back. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again? I want to get rid of the ones I already got rid of, but if they just keep coming back that will be a waste of time.
Can anyone help?
When I sync with itunes, the photos sections says I am syncing with my iphone, so I assume that anything I physically delete from my iphone should not be showing up again. Right?
Thanks in advance.
CM
PS- I don't use iphoto.Is that really how sync works?
If you read this, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236 and this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314 they don't actually make how sync works very clear. I had thought that syncing my device to itunes would allow I tunes to copy what was currently on my phone so that I could restore that information when needed ie if your phone dies and you need to do a clean install of the iOS system, you always have what is currently on your phone saved in Itunes.
Specifically reading this:
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
Tap the Action button.
Tap each photo to select it.
Tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
What you seem to be saying is that iTunes saves every contact, message, photo etc and when you click sync, it reuploads things that you deleted? This seems like it should work the opposite. Make a mirror image of my iPhone on my computer, not make a mirror image of my computer onto my iPhone. You delete things for a reason.
Help- anyone else? Is razmee209 right? -
I have iphone 5; my battery life decreased dramatically after updating to ios 6.1.2. How do I delete and go back to previous iso?
Downgrading the iOS isn't supported and wouldn't help even if you could. There have been reports of decreased battery life after every update since iOS 1.0.1.
There are lots of things that can be done including reinstalling push email accounts. basic phone reset (pressing both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears), and restoring the phone with and without a backup. -
