  • Is anyone having a problem with iPhone 5 not backing up to iCloud. No problem at first now it says it will take 35 hrs, etc to back up.

    Is anyone having a problem with iPhone 5 not backing up to iCloud. No problem at first now it says it will take 35 hrs, etc to back up.

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • I need to back up and sync multiple iPhones to a single iMac.  Each iPhone has a separate Apple ID and the data from each iPhone needs to be backed up separately from the others.  How can I do this without getting all of the contacts, etc. mixed? Tnx

  • TS1702 I am trying to back up and sync my iPhone 4 and it keeps telling me the iPhone is refusing the request to back up on the latest back up date that I want to use.  I can only use an older backup that is not recent.  Anyone know what is up?

    Have you downloaded and installed an App Store app that you downloaded free from some website instead of from the App Store? If so, that's a stolen app, and you need to delete it.

  • New computer, new install of iTunes - back-up and sync iPad?!

    I have a new computer and unfortunately the HD in my old one went belly up before I had a back-up of ITunes data. So I have iTunes installed on the new computer and I have logged into my iTunes account. No worries so far. But I'm concerned about back-up and syncing. Back-up I know how to do, although I understand this doesn't back-up everything on the iPad. My concern with syncing the iPad (full of Apps, music, photos etc) is will syncin copy everything from the iPad into my iTunes library or will the empty iTunes library copy to my iPad effectively wiping it?! I'm confused (again!)

  • Back up and sync my Iphone to my pc and some apps wont sync?

    I used an AppleID yrs ago to buy some apps on my Iphone well now I am trying to sync my Iphone to my itunes account on my pc and it wont allow me to cos it says my pc isnt authorized for it. It wants me to put in my password for those apps and I not only forgot the password for it but also no longer have the email that I used or know the answers to the questions. Now it wont let me back up my phone or sync it or even update it without losing all those apps. Which is like $200 worth of apps and songs I will lose if I cant fix this problem. Can anyone help me with this problem asap? I have been tying to fix this for like 5 days now and read everything on every page available about this but found no answer to my problem. It wont allow me to authorize my pc with my current ID for those apps it wants the old password and I dont have it and cant get into it at all. What do I do?

    Hmm...try this:
    If you forgot the answers to your security questions, try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you're not sure you remember the answers. If you're confident that you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password, contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you forgot your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time, you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

  • Having a problem with iphone 4S. Phone calls are getting dropped and cutting in and out.

    I seem to have very little or no service at all recently.
    All my calls are cutting in and out or hanging up in the middle of a conversation. I have to stand in the corner or my kitchen to get a clear call or get at least 2 bars.
    I called Verizon yesterday and tried a few things they suggested but nothing worked.
    I dont have another phone to call them back on since they suggest we call from a different phone until the late evening. Someone was supposed to call my back and never did.
    Not sure on what else to do.
    I am extremely frustrated and annoyed that I cant even really use my phone.
    HELP

    If the on/off switch does not work, that is a hardware problem. The other problems may be related to a hardware problem or faulure as well.
    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby to confirm.

A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." what do I do? I need to download this otherwise I cant connect my ipod touch to itunes.

    Try postings/searching in the iTunes forum since you have an iTunes problem not an iPod problem.  Ther have been recent posts with your problem so you should be able to find an solution.

  • I'm having a problem with downloading multiple app updates and moving songs between iTunes and my external hard drive.

    I'm having two problems with iTunes, but I'm not sure if they're related issues. First, when I try to click "Download All Updates" for apps, only one update will download and I will get successive error messages for all of the other updates. However, if I click update for each individual app, they download fine. Why am I not able to download all app updates simultaneously now.
    My second issue is that I cannot move songs from iTunes to my external hard drive or vice versa. When I drag the files, the blue plus sign appears, but the file does not appear where I moved it to.
    Both issues have been occuring for about month. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    The other issue doesn't ring any bells.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

    I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did). But I'd like to use iCloud with iPad.

    Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve  any application crashing or misbehaving.
    As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
    Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
    So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
    As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...
