HT1766 Can you back up an iPhone if it has already been disconnected?

Can you back up an iPhone if it has already been disconnected? My daughter thought she had backed it up, but hadn't and she already has her new one turned on. She has thousands of pics and contacts she wants to put on the new one.

Hey elena68
You can as long as it still works powers on and can get to the Home Screen. Just follow the steps outline in the article below to get that taken care of.

  • Problem report: "Can't open the illustration. The image has already been specified, it cannot be changed."

    I got a problem with my files I created in Illustrator CS6. After I closed them and wanted them to open up again, this problem report popped up:
    "Can't open the illustration. The image has already been specified, it cannot be changed."
    If I click OK, there is a white site with nothing on it. No object, no pictures, nothing.
    The Illustrator file has still the right size and when I start ArtFiles to collect all used pictures and fonts it's no problem.
    In Adobe Bridge there is still a preview of the original file and I can see what HAS to be placed in the file.
    Can anybody help me out?
    We had to make all the work again for a presentation but this is not the solution for this problem if that will happen in the future again.
    Thank you in advance!

    Thank you for your answer!
    Actually there is no CS5 installed on our computers (no more). I will try to get one from our admin. Hope this will work! In the meantime we had this problem several times.

  • HT5085 i am unable to get itunes match on my lap top although i can get it on my ipad itunes match has already been purchased

    hi i am unable to get itunes match on my laptop but is ok on my ipad this has already been purchased from apple

    There is no work around, you must wait the 90 days (or however long is remaining) before associating the device with another Apple ID.
    Keep in mind that if you log into your mother's iPad with your iTunes Store Apple ID she will then be using that Apple ID for everything including purchases. Any apps purchsed with her Apple ID can not longer be updated on the device.

  • HT1766 can you back up your notes

    my son just deleted some of my notes on my iphone 4s and i desperately need to get them back. is there a way?

    If the notes were on the phone and you backed it up on the computer, then you can restore to that last backup. I don't believe that Notes are backed up if you are using iCloud backup. Are you syncing Notes to a supported application on the computer, such as Outlook? If so, and you have synced the device, the notes should be there.

  • HT4859 When I open my iPad, it states that it needs to back up to iCloud.  It has already been backed up and the message still appears.  What do I do next?

    When I try to turn on my iPad, it states that it needs to be backed up to i Cloud.  It is already backed up and the message is still there. What do I do next?

    If you are getting a message that it hasn't been backed up for a certain time period, and you exit the alert and access your iPad, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • HT1766 how can you back up an iphone 4s when you can not see the screen to enter the apple id password on the phone

    I'm looking for some advice please. Ive dropped my iphones 4s in water and its all working except the screen is not visable.

  • Can you back up a iphone that is deactivated

    I just bought the iphone 4s today, went to restore all data I had on my 3gs on to the new one.  Everything is right but said my last back up was back in october, so I tried to back my 3gs up (it is deactivated) onto itunes and restored my new phone to original settings.  I then plugged in the 4s hoping that all my texts/photos/apps would all be current but no luck, it only gives me my data since october!  What do I do?

    If a more current backup of the 3GS was attempted, did it fail? Complete successfully?
    Whether the device is active (has a working SIM or not) is irrelevant to the ability to back it up.  If it is deactivated in some other way, then please share that information.

  • I am using XNET CAN on a PXI system. When I modify the can database I get the error "the interface has already been opened.."

    I have tried both building the XNET session from project explorer and by building a signal list in the VI.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks for the reply. I don't think I have any interface open. But to be sure, I rebooted everything - same result.
    Is there some step in the project config that I am failing to do? In the PXI systems I had before XNET, I had to setup some CAN configuration stuff in MAX to get it to work, but I don't see that option anymore with XNET.... 
    I have been sucessful in running XNET CAN VIs reading and writing the data from my database, but I stumble every time I add a signal or rename the database. 
    I made a simplified VI to illustrate, using a previously working database I now get the empty name message.(screen capture attached)
    This is connected to a working CAN link, and I can see these signals in MAX properly.  
    Thanks in advance for your assistance!

  • Can't back up my iPhone???

    Hi,
    So I am trying to back up my iPhone 5.
    I have an old laptop that is rather useless - my iPhone was originally backed up to this about a year ago.
    I now really really need to back up my iPhone again as have completely run out of storage and want to secure my photos.
    My old laptop seems to have deleted iTunes!!!
    My new laptop  correctly says that my iPhone has never been backed up to this computer but then when I want it to back it up says it can't back up my iPhone because previous back up is corrupt and I must delete the previous back up??? Which makes no sense!
    Really need to back it up because I have no storage, want to secure the photos I have on it and haven't even been able to download iOS 7 yet because of the lack of space!!
    Any help appreciated!!

    You can import the Photos and videos following thie article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083.
    Also, if you use iCloud and the Contacts option is turned on in Settings > iCloud, your contacts should be saved. You can make sure by going to icloud.com and viewing them. Any purchases, if you can use itunes in other ways besides to back up, Trasnfer all your purchases, and any songs, videos, apps, etc can be trasnfered to iTunes to be sycned back to the device. Check yoru iCloud storage though by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage and back up > Manage Storage to see as well. You may have to uninstall iTunse and re-install iTunes.

  • HT4946 Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer. I deleted pictures from my iPhone and added then to the ipad, but now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not?

    Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer running Mountain Lion. Our desktop still runs Tiger, so I purchased the 3rd generation iPad with 64 gb thinking it had had plenty of room to backup my iPhone photos. I used a camera connection kit and transferred about 1100 old photos from my camera roll on my iPhone to my ipad.  I then deleted pictures from my iPhone and now my camera roll has only 357 photos. However, in the Settings, under "About" it says I have 2147 photos. Why? I only have a total of 216 photos in all my albums. However, now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not?  Any help, any advice, appreciated please! I spent a long time on the phone with Apple today and they couldn't solve the problem.

    iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.
