HT1766 Can I backup my iPhone to my iMac at home AND my Windows Laptop at work ?

New to iPhone.  I have it backed up to my iMac at home but would like to back it up to my Windows 7 Laptop at work.  Any problems in doing that ? Should I create another Apple ID for the Windows 7 Laptop ?
Thanks,
RJ

You can only sync to one itunes account.  IF you try to backup/sync to your work PC it will erase everything on your phone and you'll have nothing to backup to.
Stick to your MAC.
If you need to backup look into icloud http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • HT1766 Can itunes backup ipad/iphones to a different hard drive in windows?

    I currently have a 100GB hard drive I use for my windows operating system, and itunes uses this location to backup my various iphones, and ipads. However I don't have enough hard disk space to manage the backups. Is it possible to direct itunes to backup and ipad to an external hard drive?

    Yes. See this previous discussion. Some Googling is still required.

  • Can we backup from iPhone and iPad into time capsule?

    Can we backup from iPhone and iPad photos and data into time capsule?

    iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up only to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud. More details on backups here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If you backup the iOS devices to iTunes, then iTunes in turn backs up to the Time Capsule using Time Machine.

  • I can't backup my iPhone 5. It says I don't have enough storage. So I've deleted like 6-7 apps and its still says I don't have enough storage. And it also says the say thing when I want to buy new apps or music. What can I do?

    I can't backup my iPhone 5. It says I don't have enough storage. So I've deleted like 6-7 apps and its still says I don't have enough storage. And it also says the same thing when I want to buy new apps or music. Also my messages won't send; I have to turn my phone off and resend then just to they can send. I can't even take any pictures because it says I have no storage.(I currently have 1,658 photos and 72 videos by the way.) What can I do? I just my phone in late December. I didn't think it would act up this bad before I even had it for a year. Please help.

    Your phone needs more storage, buying storage on iCloud.com doesn't change that.
    Delete some of the stuff off of your phone, it's full.

  • How can I backup my iphone 4 using iTunes 9.1.1? Is there a workaround for this?

    How can I backup my iphone 4 using iTunes 9.1.1? Is there a workaround for this? I need to backup my phone for replacement but it tells me I need 10.1 or later. All software is up to date, Operating system is 10.4.11. Thanks!

    No sorry. You need to upgrade to v10.5 Leopard (minimum) in order to sync an iPhone 4.
    iPhone minimum requirements:
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    You can upgrade to Leopard if your Mac meets v10.5 requirements.
    Requirements for Mac OS X v10.5
    If your Mac is Intel, you can upgrade directly to Snow Leopard if your Mac meets 10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications

  • HT4623 can i backup my iPhone to time capsule

    Can you backup an iphone 5S to time capsule

    Not directly. However, you can backup your iPhone to iTunes, and, if you have Time Machine enabled, the iPhone's backup in iTunes will be backed up to Time Capsule.

  • Can't backup my iPhone 3G anymore

    I can't backup my iPhone 3G 2.2 anymore because iTunes tells me that the iPhone has been disconnected. Synching is still working. I've just tried with another cable and yet no results. Can you help me? Thanks!

    I also have the same problem. My phone is connected but iTunes fails to back up the phone claiming that the phone has disconnected.

  • I can't backup my iPhone to iCloud Last backup could not be completed

    After updating to iOS7 I can't backup my iPhone to iCloud.  When I try it starts up, then stops and says, "Last backup could not be completed"
    Details: I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3
    Things I have already tried (in the order I tried them):
    - Doing a 'hard reset' on the phone
    - Buying more iCloud storage
    - Deleting the old backup that was saved into iCloud (so now I have no backups saved)
    - Turning phone off then on again
    - Changing my iCloud password
    - Deleting the iCloud account from my phone then signing in again
    Other issue which may or not be related:
    - I have yet to get the Music app to work on this phone since updating to iOS7.  It opens then promptly crashes.  This is secondary to getting the backups to work.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    If you want to see how big the backup is for your phone go Settings -> iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Manage storage and up the too it will tell you how large the backup files are for your phone. :)

    I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
    Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
    If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

  • I updated iphone 4 to ios 7.1 and the camera doesn't work. what can I do?

    i updated iphone 4 to ios 7.1 and the camera doesn't work. what can I do?

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
    If this does not help, and to rule out a software issue, set it up as new device without using the latest backup, in case that backup contains corrupt data.
    Is the camera working after that, restore from the backup. Is the camera still not working, this might be a hardware failure and you'll have to get the phone serviced by Apple:

  • I can not sync my IPhone to My Imac. I have the latest version of ITunes on my Imac. I have tried reseting my phone (3), changing ports. Nothing works. I was thinking maybe my phone has the earlier version of ITunes but I can't update it.
