HELP!! My iphone photos not backing up

When I connect my Iphone4 to the macbook, my photos do not show up to back up. Please help! I want to upgrade software, but do not want to lose my photos!

Unless the photos are synced somewhere to your computer or somewhere else I don't believe you can.

Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen. Was trying to update now it must go to restore.HELP!

Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!

If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.

YOur phone is in recovery mode, any data that was on there is already gone, you will have to restore your phone and use whatever backup you to restore to.

HT4910 my iPhone is not backing up to iCloud. On iTunes on the computer, i have set it to back-up to iCloud and after each connection to the computer it shows the last time it was backed up, but on the phone itself it shows it hasn't been backed up for we

My iphone is not backing up to icloud even though on itunes i have set it to back up to icloud. whenever i do a cable connection between my iphone and mac at the end of the exercise it indicates the last time the iphone was backed up i.e. "last back: 9.08a.m. but on the iphone itself it says it hasn't been backed up since March and on icloud there hasn't been any back up because the latest additions to the iphone are not there.
Periodically i get this message "This iphone has not been backed up ... weeks" I have followed through with all the steps and still no joy. I did however notice that my icloud email account on the iphone is different to the one i have on the computer. It would apear that I am using the two interchanagably but i have been trying to correct this so that i"ll use the same one right through.
Might this be the problem and how can i resolve it? Pls help

If this is your first time backing up your phone then yeah it might take several hours. It's definitely something you want to do before you head to bed. So try that but also make sure that your contents that are to be backed up are less than 5GB since iCloud only has 5GB of space. Usually photos are what would take up the most space so check how many photos in terms of GB you have by going into settings->general->usage then look at photos and camera.
Hope this works!

My iPhone has not backed up to iCloud in 44 weeks

My iPhone has not backed up to iCloud in 44 weeks. But yet, when I went to iCloud.com all my new contacts were updated, but I noticed my PhotoStream did not appear on the Home screen. When I try to update on my iPhone it says the next backup is too large (I only have my contacts and photos saved to iCloud). I have about 500 photos, and I know people with over 1,000 photos whose phones get backed up with the free 5GB just like me. Can anyone tell me what is wrong and how I can fix this problem so I can backup my photos?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
My iPhone has not backed up to iCloud in 44 weeks.
This seems to be because you don't have enough room, have you been to settings > iCloud > Storage & Back Up > Manage.... and looked up what is taking up the room and how big your next back would be.
I noticed my PhotoStream did not appear on the Home screen
Photo Stream isn't one of the features of iCloud.com

How to retrieve deleted pics from iphone 4 not backed up in icloud or i tunes?

How do I retrieve deleted pics from iphone 4 not backed up on icloud or itunes?

You don't.
Turn on PhotoStream in iCloud.
Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream
PhotoStream will store 1000 of your most recent photos and synch with iPhoto on your Mac.

TS4036 My iphone will not back up

my iphone will not back up
I have adequate storage
wifi is connected
phone is locked etc
it commences a back up but fails to complete
it says it has never been backed up
please help?

If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

IPhone will not back up on PC

Hello,
Not sure if anyone can help me with this.
I cannot backup my iphone on my PC.
I have tried on 3 separate machines, all using Windows XP, and my iPhone will not back up. It will load look like its backing up, but once the bar moves about 1-10 of the way, it stops, and nothing happens. I left it overnight, and in the morning, it was in the same spot.
I have had this problem through the last 2 updates that were pushed for the iPhone. During each update, I had to cancel out of the backup to proceed.
I cant find any information on this problem, and it seems to be a very common problem, as a lot of my friends with iPhone or iTouch are unable to backup either.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this issue?

I have tried all the steps before.
I have restored original factory settings about 3 times now since I purchased it.
All three computers I have tried this on has a 2.0 USB connection.
Everything else syncs perfectly, apps, music, video, etc...
Just the backup never completes.
Even when I try to update to the latest version number, I always have to cancel out of the backup by clicking on x in iTunes.
Any other suggestions?

HT201263 plz help me iphone 3gs not open

plz help me iphone 3gs not open

Hello gurpreet17,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
I recommend following steps 2-6 for an issue like the one you described:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

HT4946 My iphone won't open, message on screen states iphone is not backed up. when I hit the ok button it remains locked. what can I do?

My iphone won"t open. There is a message on the screen that states that iphone is not backed up. when I click the ok button nothing happens. It was workin until today.

By "open", I think you mean you cannot unlock your iPhone.
If that's true, here's the remedy:

My iPhone is not backed up due to insufficient storage. I am deleting a number of files but would like to know what 'documents

1: when texting, if I tap e.g. the letter T, occasionally 3 or 4 letters T will follow in rapid succession or when the letter T is highlighted to confirm the letter is correct, it will freeze at that point
. Also, when scrolling through a message thread to find a particular message, sometimes I have no control over stopping at the wanted message - rapid scrolling right back to the first text occurs & often when I then try again, the reverse happens with rapid scrolling (uncontrollably) through the messages to the last message received.
2: My iPhone is not backed up due to insufficient storage. I am deleting a number of files but would like to know what 'documents & data' (17.9KB) under 'PREVIEW' is before hitting 'delete'
Total storage: 5.0GB
last software update: iOS 7.1.1

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!
