How do I back up everything on my 3G before I restore it?

How do I ensure that my notes, voice memos, saved pages to my home page, bookmarks, emails, texts, apps, etc are not erased when I restore my damaged 3G? Backing up in itunes doesn't seem to save everything. It wasn't syncing all of my apps, so I'm assuming those could be lost as well. What can I do? Using a Powerbook G4 with a pentium, OS X.
Thanks for your help.

It's not supposed to backup your apps as they should already be in your iTunes library. If not, just redownload them for free.

How do I back up my phone settings when doing a restore

How do I back up my phone settings when doing a restore? Or do I need to ?

This article explains how to back up your phone, then restore the backup to your new phone to transfer your data and settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109.
You can use the same sim card if it's the same carrier and a compatible size. You would need to contact your carrier to have the service transferred to the new phone.

How do I back up everything before repair?

I have to send my iphone 4s for repair and they have told me they are going to wipe it completely. Please can someone tell me (in simple terms!) how to back up everything (including camera roll) to my laptop or icloud if possible and also how I restore it all again when I get my iphone back?
Thanks

Have you ever used iTunes on your computer before to sync your iPhone? If not, just make sure your iTunes is the most current version on your computer. After that, connect your iPhone to the Charging Cable and then to the USB port on your computer. Don't worry about if your iPhone is on or off, and if off don't worry about responding to the iPhone screen while you are connecting to your Computer. If things work the way they are supposed to...
One of two things will happen...
Sometimes peoples Photo App will open and they can transfer their iPhone Camera Roll photos to this App on their Computer. If this happens, just name the album on your computer and save the photos. When that is done just close the Photo App on your Computer.
The second thing that may have happened is that iTunes may have opened... if not click on iTunes icon for the App on your computer and open it now. Once iTunes opens look toward the upper right of the screen and see if there is a Box that says something like "iPhone" in it. Click on that box and see if your iTunes screen goes to the Status Screen saying what iOS Release you are on and if it is time for an Update. Because you said your iPhone needs to be repaired, and because I don't know what is wrong with it ... Rather thna worrying about the iOS Update, look down at the bottom right of your Computer iTunes screen and see if there is a "Sync" button. If so click on it and just wait while the Sync goes through 8 of 8 Steps and finishes. When finished look back up at the iPhone Box and click on the Done or Eject icon. Remove your USB cable from the computer and get ready to send your iPhone in for Repair.

HT201318 How do I back up everything that will be lost when I upgrade my software for my Ipod Touch 3rd Generation? Can I just take the information and go into windows explorer and drag it out in2 a separate folder/drag it back?I'm running Windows Vista b

I am trying to figure out how to back up ALL of my apps, games, movies, personal info, etc, that is destroyed when I upgrade ITunes ( I do not know why). If it's all on ITunes in the first place then what's the problem with installing new software after wiping it clean, then adding that software and the original apps, games, movies, tv shows, etc, that are stored on ITunes to begin with"? With that being said, I subscribed to ICloud somehow through the Itunes store, the instructions that they had for using Windows VIsta were incorrect so I signed up with the intention of using it as a tool to backup all of my data. Problem is I only got 25 gigs to start and I need 40 gigs. I also don't know how to properly set up the account or manage it, or the amount of data that it will hold. Please help me!!!! I just recently located my Touch after it being misplaced by my little sister for over a year and I'm trying to upgrade the operating system, after all, it IS over two years old.....Thanks, in advance for any help anyone can give me.

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

How can I back up everything on my macbook pro on a hard drive

Hi I was wondering how I could backup all of my stuff on my MacBook Pro to my LaCiE Porsche Design Hard Drive. When there was an update for my MacBook Pro a while back I was updating it and an error occurred so i took it to apple and he told me to always back up my stuff before updating because i could lose all of my things on my macbook, but I am not sure how to back them up to my hard drive and I want to update my MacBook Pro to 10.9.5 and also upgrade to OS X Yosemite.

How do I use Time Machine?? and this is what it says in the App Store

Upgrading Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard...how do I back up everything first

I'm going to be upgrading to Snow Leopard, but I'm concerned about backing everything up. I just got an external drive but I don't know what to do to get all of my files onto it before upgrading just in case the upgrade loses all my docs and pics. Should I be creating an image disk? Any pointers?
Also, will this wipe applications I have previously loaded like MS Office and Rosetta Stone?

Basically you need to partition your drive to GUID, then format to Mac Extended. You do both of these with Disk Utility. Then you need to clone your internal drive to the external drive.

Cloning And Backup Tools
A bootable clone is an exact copy of your drive which is capable of booting your computer. Making a copy of your computer which is capable of actually starting the computer requires special copying procedures. Some people just back up data files but if you have problems you have to reinstall all your operating system and all your applications. With a bootable clone you just start up from the backup drive and clone back everything.
To copy files from one hard drive to another hard drive you can use:

How do I back up everything on my iMac onto a DVD?

There have been robberies in the neighborhood and I am afraid thieves would take my Time Capsule back up device along with the computer. I have almost 5,000 photos plus many documents that I want to burn onto a DVD. Or should I use a bunch of CD's? Or is there a better way? I would keep the DVD's in my bank's safe deposit box.

Hi.
Is there a better way? YES!
Buy an external hard disk drive and use that to back up all your Documents, Music and Photos.
Then take that drive and leave it in your office at work, or with a trusted friend... anywhere but at home. From time to time, perhaps once a month or more often, bring it home and update the backup.
Easy. Fast. Safe. A lot better than trying to copy everything to CD/DVD.
Whew! That could have been a nightmare.

How can I back up everything to icloud apart from my music.

Hi I live in the french alps and I listen to my iphone music all time when skiing and working, if I back up my music and I cannot get 3G or wifi I can't listen to my music?
AM I being dumb or is there an easy answer?

You merely need to download them while connected to a network (preferably wifi).
Yes you can download full playlists, albums etc this way (note the download all option in the screenshot below)
Another feature you may find handy is the ability to show everything in iTunes match or just that which is actually on your phone (settings > music > Show all music. Indeed I find this option so handy, i wish they'd move it from the settings to the app.

How do I back up a responsive iPod that needs a restore?

I have a 160GB iPod Classic that I have a lot of files stored on that I need to get off it (I don't mean music, I used it as a storage device for other files), but when I try connecting it to my Mac, iTunes says that the iPod is corrupted and that it needs to be restored or reset. I've tried reseting it loads of times but that doesn't do anything, and I can't restore it because I then would lose all my files. I also tried putting it in disk mode, but Finder didn't recognize it. When I unplug the iPod it's usable and I can see that almost all the disk space is used, so the files aren't gone either.
Is there some way I can force Finder to mount the disk, or can I restore the iPod without deleting the files? As I said; it's not the music I care about, it's the other files.

Before connecting your iPod, go to iTunes Preferences > Devices and check the button next to "Disable automatic syncing..." and click OK. Then connect your iPod. If it won't mount, you'll need to use Disk Utility or some other disk program (like DiskWarrior) to examine and repair the disk and/or rescue your files.

How to find the total size of the database before the Restore.

Hi Guys,
I'll do a Restore, but I do not know the environment and need to know what the total size of the database to create a storage area.
Is there any way to find out the total size of the database(including all datafiles and temp) using only the RMAN catalog before running the Restore.
I'm using Tivoli TSM with ASM.
Levi Pereira

Hi tychos,
break on report
compute sum of TOTAL_DB on Report
select 'DataFiles' NAME, SUM(ROUND(bytes/1024/1024/1024)) TOTAL_DB from rc_datafile
where db_name = 'ORCL'
UNION ALL
select 'TempFiles' NAME, SUM(ROUND(bytes/1024/1024/1024)) TOTAL_DB from rc_tempfile
where db_name = 'ORCL'This query returned I had 372 Gbytes of data.
At the end of the Restore Database got the size of 408 Gbytes.
The total size of all Redo was 3Gbytes that was not being counted anyway there was a difference of 33Gbytes.
I need to understand the reason for the difference in sizes.
It makes no sense to me RMAN catalog does not inform the total size of the database (Datafiles, tempfiles, Redo and controlfile) before the Restore since it's information is already somewhere.
Thanks for your help.
Levi
