How to back-up notes and photos to computer?

Hello everyone!
I have been having issues with my iPod for a while now. I installed an update which crashed my iTunes completely and wiped my music - annoying.
Since then I have been in contact with Apple who have advised me to restore my iPod as I have a few bugs causing duplicated artwork only visible on my iPod and missing artwork that again shows on my iTunes but doesn't appear on my iPod.
I set up an iCloud account however none of my notes seem to sync to it. When my iPod backs up in iTunes I have set it to back up to the computer as iCloud isn't storing anything despite the notes, mail, calendars etc. all being turned on.
My first question is) where is the backup located on the computer, in the sense that when I restore the iPod, how do I relocate everything
Second question) will my notes, calendar dates and photos all be backed up?
Thank you in advance for any replies, I really appreciate it!

Hi Drew!
Thanks for your reply.
I'm using iTunes with the PC - Windows 7 to be precise.
It's just a worry when restoring your iPod, I don't want to lose all my photos and notes, but then again I find it frustrating how iTunes updates cause mine to crash on occasion taking all my music with it.
When I sign in to iCloud (just created the account the other day) I have no notes or photos on my account?
Sync is different to backup, but iTunes does them both at the same time.
You can backup the device to iCloud but still have no notes visible in iCloud.
Personally I would backup to iCloud, then connect to iTunes & backup to iTunes. In iTunes preferences select devices & right click to create an 'archive' of the backup. That will mean that backup is preserved when you next backup, otherwise the old backup is overwritten on next iTunes sync. You can also reveal the backup via a right click, however it is pointless since the files are not easily readable.
Having an iCloud & iTunes backup should help if the device loses it's files for whatever reason. NOTE: you can only use one backup type, but iCloud backups should remain on the server when you swap to iTunes backups.
This may be different on Windows, so you will need to follow the info in the links IIaass posted.

  • After restoring how can I get my notes and photos back?

    I plugged my iPad then it shut down and when I plugged it again and it showed that I need to restore it..
    Now how do I get my notes and photos back...

    You'll have to resync using your own computer. It should restore from your backup.

  • TS4062 I replaced my iPad with a new one. I backed up to iCloud but did not do a physical iTune Sync. Now I am having trouble recovering some Notes and Photos. I have been reinstalling Apps from the App Store. How do I recover my Notes?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

  • Someone hacked my computer and set up a new administrative account by re-registering my computer. I can not access this account nor delete it. How can I fix this and get my computer back to the way it was?

    Someone hacked my computer and set up a new administrative account by re-registering my computer. I can not access this account nor delete it. How can I fix this and get my computer back to the way it was? And also prevent this from being able to happen again. I have the link the kid used (http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/05/how-to-hack-the-user-password-in-mac-os-x-wit hout-an-os-x-cd/) Apparently he used hack 2. HELP PLEASE!

    Not sure why you can't delete that account. If you have admin privileges, you should be able to. Sounds like you only removed the Home Folder for that account.
    You should highlight/select the account you want to remove and then click the minus button. Might need to unlock the padlock with your admin password.
    Have a look at these articles from Apple, if necessary.

  • Unable to transfer "Notes" and photo album from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4

    I recently upgraded from iPhone 3GS (old phone) to iPhone 4 (new phone) and used iTunes to backup all data from the old phone.
    When setting up the new phone for the first time I selected "restore from current device" option and all the data transferred properly to the new phone.  But I get "No Signal" since the old and new phones are different carriers.  So I tried to use iCloud instead.  This time I do get proper signal with the new carrier but only  telephone "Contacts" and applications were transferred not any of the "Notes" or photo album.

    In your iPhone 3GS, go to Settings>iCloud and turn ON notes and Photo Stream. Now go to Storage&Backup and hit "Back Up Now". Now your stuffs will be on iCloud. Just use iCloud on your iPhone 4 to get them onto your device

    Sorry no not if you can't input your passcode to unlock the phone.
    Usually if you been syncing to iTunes on a regular basis it shouldn't ask for you to unlock it.

    You mean while creating a book in iPhoto?  Click on the layout button while viewing a page and select the layout that includes both text and photos.  Most themes will have those options.

  • How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read below that you can't. Really? Is that correct?

    How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?

    You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod.  My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway.  Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
    You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to.  You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases.  If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All.  LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage.

  • Getting someone's notes and photo on my iphone and icloud

    im having problem with my iphone 5s and icloud, i keep on getting unknown notes and photo of someone i don't even know. my iphone 5s is my first and only ios devices and i only have 1 icloud/apple ID as well(created after i bought my iphone), which is why its weird that i keep on getting unknown notes and photo of someone even though i've already change my icloud password 3 thrice. im worried that if im getting their notes and photo that they could also see or receive my notes and photo as well. i've already read some post about similar issue but most of there problem was they have other ios device that they lost/sold with there apple ID/icloud still on the device, which in my case i don't have any other ios devices. i also have my photo sharing disabled on my setting. i hope someone encountered this same issue and help me fix it. Thanks!

  • Why are my notes and photos no being shared anymore?

    I have an iphone and ipad which were synched just fine until now. I just added a Mac Mini and changed my Apple ID password and now nothing is synched anymore. My notes are now different on all devices and no photo stream. I have reset my new Apple ID password in all places, but that doesn't help. When I attempt to but a check in the boxes next to notes and photos in the icloud settings, I am prompted to create a me.com address, even though I use the Apple ID address for icloud. Even if I attempt to enter my me.com addres, it tells me that that one is already taken.
    Please help. I need to be able to synch and share photos and notes on all devices.

    Whilst you've changed details on your devices, have you changed them with Apple.

  • How to apply OSS note and how to use it?--thanks

    Hi, morning all,
    I want to know how to apply OSS notes and how to use it, pls help me.
    Thanks.

    Applying OSS note is a critical activity in the system. Usually this task is carried out by the basis, as they maintain the system and the notes, support packs, etc.
    A OSS note has potential to impact the system in several ways. So it is better to work with the basis if  you need to apply a OSS note to be applied.
    Transaction code is Snotes. But pl dont attempt to apply by yourself.
    Reg your other question as how to use the OSS note, there is nothing like using aOSS note. Just apply and depending on what the notes do, it may change the config, or download a program or something.

  • HT4623 Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    The update process DOES back up contacts and photos, unless you interrupted the backup. The manual tells you to sync contacts to an app on your computer, and to import photos regularly to your computer. So Apple DID tell you to back up, you just didn't bother to read it.
    If you didn't sync yet (and even if you did) connect the phone to your computer, right click on its name, and choose "Restore from Backup". If there's more than one backup choose the one with a timestamp before you updated.

    iCloud is not downloaded, it is a part of iOS5.
    Do you possibly have iCloud and a MobileMe account set up on the device?  If so, remove the MobileMe account.
