  • HT4859 I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • Moving my iphone to a new(ish) computer without losing anything?

    I've got an old MAcBookPro and a newish MacMini. My Macbook sadly is on its last legs, and I want to move a few things over to the Mini before I bring it to Apple to see if they can resurrect it...
    Specifically, I want to move my iPhone 4 over from the MacBook to the Mini, preferably without losing any of the stuff that's already on the phone, OR losing the stuff that's already on the Mini. All of my music is on the mini, and both computers use the same iTunes account.
    So, can I used Migration Assistant with target disk mode to move just my iPhone files over from laptop to desktop, without wiping out the iTunes folder that's already on the desktop?
    Sorry if this is mildly garbled, I just woke up.

  • I just tried to backup my iphone to update to newest software and got the error message: iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. How can I backup without losing my information?

    I called apple and did what they asked but it didn't work.

    This Apple article talks about backup issues -> iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
    Are you able to backup if you move the previous backup from the location below to the desktop?

  • How to back up without losing anything?

    BlackBerry Q5.
    I've had my phone turned off for a week and had switched my mobile network off. Yesterday I attempted to turn it all back on but my emails were not coming through. Then I discovered my WhatsApp was not working either. So I attempted to re-download it and it failed. It said to try again and then restart if that doesn't work. 
    So in the end I restarted my device. However when it reloaded my BBM, texts and previous emails had all been wiped from my phone. I managed to redownload WhatsApp last night but this morning it has disappeared again. I am able to make and receive phone calls but am not able to send or receive texts. Internet Browser is temperamental too.
    I had used BlackBerry Protect on my previous devices but this one only uses BlackBerry Link and I have never been able to back it up through there as there were always connection errors  such as ‘Cannot communicate with device’ when I use an USB cable for it. Even though I am able to copy media files through it via WiFi…
    I presume this is a problem with my phone and not my network provider? Any help would be deeply appreciated.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    From your post, I assume that all of your data is already gone, and hence your subject line is a "future" thinking request rather than something you need now.
    I agree with your suspicion...something about your device is not working correctly.
    Start please with a clean removal and re installation of LINK
    Article ID: KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of the BlackBerry Desktop Software or BlackBerry Link
    If you continue to get USB errors, they please try other USB ports and/or other OEM BB USB cords, and also search the public KB database using the exact error message(s) you are presented with. You will need to ensure that your computer can properly communicate via USB (not WiFi) before you can complete any of the attempts below.
    Next, try to use LINK to reload your BBOS:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​10-Smartphone/How-to-Reload-your-Blackberry10-OS/t​...
    If that fails, try this process:
    On-device WIPE
    OS Load via AutoLoader
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using​...
    On-device WIPE
    See if that gets things going again. Good luck and let us know!

  • My ipad has locked me out, how do I unlock without losing anything

    Help

    You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

  • HT1766 i have an unlocked iphone 3gs and need an upgrade how do i upgrade without losing my unlocked status?

    I have an unlocked iphone 3gs how do i upgrade without losing my unlocked status without having to pay to unlock it again.

    Updating and restoring does not lock, but if you have a jailbreak (not AppleSoftware) and you return to Apple Software then it will lock. After all Apple has to keep to the law. It is even possible, that the jailbreak software makes it impossible to install Apple Software again and your iPhone will be inoperable after you try the update.
    So If you officially unlocked you are  fine and if you had a jailbreak, there is nothing an Apple forum can do for you.

    forgot icloud password, how to get it recover without any question and also alternative email because someone hacked my alternative email id. need password for using icloud hopefully i will get result from you as your earliest.

    I'm sorry, but I know nothing about iCloud email. I stayed away from iCloud email and only use iCloud for limited purposes.
    But take a look at this discussion and read the response from randers4. He is one of the iCloud experts in the Apple Support Communities.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24358339#24358339
    If that doesn't help, you might be better off posting in here where there are other more knowledgable iCloud users.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • We have 3, soon to be 4 iphones under one contract.  How do we separate our iphones to have separate icloud accounts without losing information already stored?

    We have 3, soon to be 4 iphones under one contract.  How do we separate our iphones to have separate icloud accounts without losing information already stored?

    One of them can keep the current account.  Since the iCloud email account must stay with the current account, whoever uses it for email might be the best one to keep it.  You can then migrate the other phones to separate accounts, along with a copy of the data.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once all the phones are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete each other's data from your accounts.

  • How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

  • My Apple ID needs to be updated on my iphone in icloud. iCloud account information Apple ID is incorrect. How do I update it without losing anything, including my extra storage that I paid for???

    I recently updated my Apple ID with a new email address. Now my iCloud account does not match my Apple ID.
    On my iphone, when I press Settings> iCloud> Account> iCoud Account Information: Apple ID
    The Apple ID is shown as my old email address, and there is no option to press this and change the sign in information. Therefore, I cannot backup my iphone.
    I tried to delete iCloud, but the warning said that everything would be deleted from my iphone if I deleted iCloud. I obviously want what is on my iphone or I wouldn't care about iCloud at all. How do I update my Apple ID on my iphone for iCloud without losing anything on my iphone, including the extra storage that I paid for?

    If the Account name is wrong in Settings>iCloud you'll have to scroll to the botom and tap Delete Account, then sign back in using the correct ID.
