HT1766 how do I delete a previous backup? iTunes is telling me to do that

When syncing I get an error message saying the last backup is corrupt, to delete it and rebackup. I can'f figure out how to delete a back up - or where it even is located.

iTunes>Preferences>Devices...highlight & delete here.

  • How do i delete the previous backups from HP surestore PD5000z?

    I have been using the HP PD5000z to backup my main hard drive for a couple of years.
    I now receive the error that the back up is too large and need to either reduce the files being backed up or delete files from the PD5000z.
    How do i know which files to delete from the previous back ups on the PD5000z?
    The amount of space used on the main drive is 476GB versus a back up drive size of 500GB, so there is enough total space.  The previous backups are taking up too much space?
    Thanks

  • HT1386 I bought a new computer and I cannot transfer my library to this new one. The message says that I'm not allowed to sync with two computers??? How can I delete the previous from my account???

    I bought a new computer and I cannot transfer my library to this new one. The message says that I'm not allowed to sync with two computers??? How can I delete the previous one from my account???

    You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
    You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
    Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
    The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

  • HT4859 How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    Restoring an iCloud backup requires you to first erase your iPad.  If you have any newer data that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iPad backup.

    How do I delete a previously saved (open) bookmark but I don't know what Bookmark Folder it is stored in and I didn't want to search folder by folder. I know there must be a way to delete it or find from the address (URL) window/bar but I can't seem to figure this one out.

    Please be advised that this software is not tested by Skype, and is not in any way a Skype-affiliated app; therefore, you need to be very careful using it.

  • How do i delete the previous owners phone number on iMessage on my iPhone 5?

    How do i delete the previous owners phone number from imessage in my iphone5?

    You did NOT erase all content in the phone if the previous owner's phone number is still associated with iMessage. Erasing all content will put the phone in an as new state, requiring activation, which you can NOT do without a SIM card. If the original owner did not remove their iCloud account and they had find my iPhone turned on, you would not be able to activate it at all without the credentials for the original owners iCloud account.
    Can you still contact whoever you got it from?
    If so, have them go through this process on the phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    If not... you may have been scammed.

  • HT3275 My Time Machine deletes ALL previous backups

    Every so often, Time Machine deletes ALL previous backups and starts over from scratch. It has done this several times in the last year.  I have not changed any hardware or the name of the computer. Why is this happening?  Makes me very concerned that I now have NO backups while it chugs away rebuilding a 210 GB backup. 
    Just got an error message:
    Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup. Time machine could not delete the backup disk image "/Volumes/Joe's iMac.purgeable"
    HELP!
    iMac 27: 8GB, 2.9 GHz Intel Core I5
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    Backup volume is Western Digital MyBookLiveDuo with 2TB and 1.8TB available

    Hi Joe,
    Have you Repaired both drives first, then Repaired Permissions on both?
    Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?
    http://Pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Can't imagine something not being covered there.

  • After resetting Time Capsule, how do I access my previous backups?

    After re-setting Time Capsule, how do I access my previous backups?

    Access it to do what??
    You can migrate the data.. see Pondini instructions for migrate. (or from apple).
    His instructions are a little out of date.. but still more useful than the over generalised stuff Apple give you.
    http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks
    If you wanted to continue using the backup with TM.. no you cannot inherit a backup from a different machine.
    To simply access the backup .. then open the sparsebundle from finder or TM..
    See the instructions in Pondini.. Q15-17 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    If you want to do something else you need to tell us what it is??

    How do you delete a corrupt backup?

    If you mean from iTunes on your computer, launch iTunes and the go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Find your backup in the window. Click on it to select or. Click on delete. You can also right click on the backup and select delete from the contextual menu.
    I Don't think you would know if an iCloud backup was corrupt, but you delete those in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage>Backup Name>Delete Backup.

  • How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? (More info inside)

    How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? When I mark them, and delete them (and yes, I mark the box where it says delete from the cloud as well), they just reappear once I sync with itunes match again. (the symbol available for download appears). Is there a way to completely remove the tracks?
    (And no, I don't just want to hide them (in the menu), since the tracks will appear in my iPhone anyways).
