Did I need to setup as new or use a backup
I bought a 3Gs today, because my original iphone started acting strangley. When I got home, I wanted to get my contacts onto my new phone. When it asked if I wanted to setup as new or use my last backup, I chose my last backup. Did I make a mistake doing that? I had been so hesitant about getting the new one since I had gone through four problem phones at and right after the release. I hope I didn't mess something up. It seems to have a good screen although you can see the warm tone difference but not as bad as the others I had tried. Can anyone tell me if I have messed things up by using my last backup instead of new?
You can do whichever you like.
Is your iphone working properly?
If so, stop worrying.

The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

I need to configure a new hard disk as backup disk for time machine.
The set up program is running since two hours and it says it will take 9 days to backup about 56 GB.
Is it normal ?Roberto 17 wrote:
I started this morning at 12 and after 5 hours now the backup is about 6 GB up on 56 GB.
The new HD is a WD My Passport Edge 500 GB capacity
5 hours to do 6 GB of transfer is NOT normal, even for USB 2.0 so there's something wrong here. I'd say cancel it, wipe the drive and then test the integrity of the drive. Do some file transfers over to and see if it's behaving normally. It could be a bad USB cable, it could be a bad drive or bad enclosure. As it's new, I suspect you haven't really put it through its paces yet and it's important to do that first before commissioning it to serve as your "reliable backup." -

As all of the msuic came from your computer in the first place it should still be there. Is it not?
EVERYTHING on your ipod should also be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
Make sure that everything is on your computer. You can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases.
When everything is on your computer, then it can be synced back to the ipod after updating. -
Can I restor data from an old iPhone to a new one using iCloud backup?
I’m going to buy a new iPhone, can I restore my data from the old iPhone to the new one using iCloud backup and is it safer to back it up on my PC?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't use iCloud back up, but I understand you can do that.
It's always better to use a mac/PC based back up, I'd only consider the iCloud back up if I didn't have a mac. -
okay...2 days ago the iPhone 4 vibrated for a good 45 min. did a hard reboot on the phone, stopped vibrating, locked on call screen, can't answer or recieve calls. Talked to a tech support last night. Was told to do a restore, saved all of what we could beforehand and after it was done with restoring to click on "Setup as new" opt. I did so, my pc froze while it was syncing the apps through iTunes so I had to reboot. Without realizing I didn't unplug the phone it auto-Synced into another iTunes account and contacts, etc. I NEED the previous contacts that were saved last night on this phone! How do I back to "set up as new"? or get those contacts back?!
Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

IPad 2, restore & setup as new, then restore from backup?
Confused yet? I am!
So here we go, yes, I'm new to the forum, I've had my iPad 2 since Oct. 2011. And No, this problem isn't in my head.
Last week, I finally updated to iOS 5.1.1, and I deeply regret doing so. I had NO issue before the update, and now, my battery is garbage.
I used to be able to go 2 - 3 days before having to charge and that's with an average of 4 hours a day. Now, after just a few hours (5) I have to charge and it takes forever. I've been working with Apple, but they having given me an option I'm happy with.
1) Mail my unit back to them to switch out with a refurb. I am against this option as I like my unit. I didn't originally buy a refurb and I should have to accept one now. The screen on my unit is perfect, no bleed or dead pixels. I've taken immaculate care of mine and I'm afraid I'll get a unit I'm not happy with. Plus, it will be running iOS 6, which I'm not ready for.
Option two is...and this needs to be done whether I return my unit or not, is a restore and setup as new. Which means I would loose all my information buried deep within my apps. This would also install iOS 6 on my unit.
My question is this...
If I do a Restore, Setup as new, can I then go back in and do a restore from back up, to put all my stuff back in its place.
I'd love to hear from anyone that has any insight, suggestions, experience, or comments about this.
How did you handle it?
What was the outcome?
Did you involve Apple in the resolution?
Or,
Is it just not worth dealing with and I should just keep using it until it won't take a charge.
I know there have been a million posts about this, and I've read a lot of them, but I just haven't found a solution yet.
And before anyone states the obvious, ALL locations are off, all email accounts are set to manual, there are no notifications set.
In the past week, I've done 3 reset all settings, drained battery until system shut down, and did an uninterrupted full charge.
I've reset network settings. I make sure apps are closed by double tapping Home button, and done a hard reset by holding power button and home button until apple icon appears. I'm at a loss, and don't know what else to do.First, make sure you are using the most current version of iTunes 11.1.3 (8). Second, what version of iOS 7 was your old phone running, i.e. 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.2? If your back-up was made with a version of iOS that is newer than the version on your new phone, it will not sync. For example, if your back-up was of a phone running iOS 7.0.4, and your new phone was running 7.0.2 out of the box, the back up will not sync to the new phone until it is updated to iOS 7.0.4.

Do i need to setup a VNC to use microsoft rdc for mac?
I am trying to gain access to my work pc (xp pro) with my intel based mpb at home running snow leopard. I've been told that everything is setup to allow an RDC on my work computer and I have microsoft RDC on my mac. However, I am still running into problems. I'm wondering if I need a VNC setup prior to using the RDC. I would appretiate any help. Thanks.
VNC & RDC (a.k.a.: RDP) are separate and for the most part have nothing to do with each other.
Did you mean VPN (virtual private network) instead of VNC? (Virtual network computing protocol.)
More than likely, you need to configure the firewall at work to allow incoming RDC sessions. (i.e.: configure port forwarding) or use a VPN. The VPN connects your remote computer "directly" onto the office's network, bypassing the firewall. Creating a VPN is not trivial. But configuring the firewall or VPN will probably require you to contact your network administrator to get the proper settings anyway. -
I don't remember ever entering a password for backing up my iPhone 5; tried the password for my AppleID account => doesn;t work; stuck with my phone, unable to rstore
Thanks Dajank,
I know what you're saying but I actually never selected the encypted backup. I talked to an Apple rep. about 1/2 an hour ago and she confirmed encrypted backup requires you enter the Password twice the 1st time you set it up. I'm positive I never did.
Wonder if the corporate (security) policies installed on my phone have anything to do with it. I'll have to wait and check tomorrow at work. -

Do I need to setup TMS for SolMan?
Hi,
I am new to SolMan. I need to setup in order to use Maintenance Optimizer.
Does SolMan need to have TMS configured like other SAP solutions, Dev, QA and Prod? Or there is only one Solman setup and it does everything we need?
Thank you.Usually there will be only one Solution manager in the landscape . You mainly use this for central monitoring, Maintenance Optimizer , creating Keys, Service Desk , proj documentation etc and you are not doing any development work in here. So it does not make sense to have Dev, QA and PRD for solution manager. But you can have a sandbox which will help you to test the Support packs before applying directly in production. Maintenance Optimizer can be configured with Solution manager .
Thanks

Iphone 4 askes to setup as new phone when plugged into iTunes
I have an iPhone 4 that has already been setup using iCloud. I want to make a backup on my MAC. When I plug it into iTunes it only gives me options to setup as a new phone or restore from backup. It will not let me just back up this existing phone, authorize it on this computer or anything. The oply option it is giving me is to setup as new or restore from backup.

I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this so I can use my new phone? The first step asks for my iCloud info but then asks for my friends after I agree to the terms.
The iPhone is new, has never been used. When asked if I want to set it up as a new phone, restore from an iTunes backup, or my iCloud backup I selected iCloud. It then askes for me to sign in with my Apple ID, I then agree to the terms, then it asks for me to sign into my friends Apple ID. She and I have used each other's computers in the past so I assume this is where her information is coming from. The problem is she no longer had that email or Apple ID and has no way of gaining access to it and therefor I am unable to proceed.
I suppose my question is, how can I remove her information from mine so I can setup my new phone using iCloud. Also, I have already checked my Apple ID online and nowhere on my account is her information listed. -
