    How can I have multiple iphones on itunes without them sharing contact info

    If contacts on each iPhone are being synced direct with the same supported address book app on the computer via the iTunes sync process, deselect Sync Contacts under the Info tab for the iPhones that you don't want synced with the same address book followed by a sync.
    If each iPhone is sharing the same Apple iCloud account with Contacts enabled for over the air syncing, each iPhone needs its own iCloud account.

    how can I see my iphone backup to my hp computer - I want to actually see some of the files on the backup to be sure it actually worked

    You can't see them as such.  The entire backup is stored as a database, sql file.  You can find the backup file here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and clickOK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
    You will need an sql reader to view the contents,

  • HT1766 How do you sync an iphone with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone?  It is the iPhone 4.

    How do you sync an iphone 4 with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone 4 if it was previously syned on a PC? 

    Follow the steps listed here under the section titled "External Drive".  Once you find the location of the iTunes Media folder you can transfer it over a netork connection, rather than using an external drive.

  • TS1363 how do i rename my iphone?  when i set it up it set my new iphone up with my daughters name, now i cant get it to recognize my itunes

    When initially syncing my new iphone to my computer I was in a hurry and it said "sync as new" or "sync as Ashley's iphone".  I wanted some songs on it and synced to Ashley's.  Now even though I renamed to Jean's iphone when hooked up I cant get any of my stuff.  Under devices I took Ashley's off thinking now it would recoginize mine but no.  Can I rename my device without completely erasing it all and starting over?

    That response would work save one detail: This is my work phone so I get meetings and such added via corporate email, etc. Those go by default to my iPhone calendar so I was hoping there was a way to just sync everything that ends up on my iPhone calendar to my Google calendar.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • HT1766 how do i combine 2 iphone back ups into one, i had an iphone 4 and now have a 5s but need to back up the 4 contect into the 5s

    I has an iphone4 that i last backed up in July. I got a new 5s when i activated the 5s i forgort to first update the Iphone4. I went back and updadted the iphone 4. Now how do I get that info over to the iphone 5s.

    You cannot combine backups. You can only use one or the other. Your first problem is the fact that you had not backed up the phone since July. When did you get the 5s? When you activated the 5s, did you set it up as new or did you restore from the old iPhone 4 backup? Did you set the 5s up as new and begin using it and you want to keep the data on the 5s and add the data from the 4? If that is the case, it cannot be done. When you restore from a backup, you wipe all the data off the device and take it back to the date of the backup. All newer data is erased.
    Maybe I'm confused, but what are you saying that you "went back and updated the iPhone 4"?

  • HT1766 how can I reset my iphone 5 to factory setting? using iTunes?

    Is there a special reason to do it with iTunes? You can do it on the phone by going to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings.
    To do it using iTunes connect the phone to your computer using a USB port directly on the computer, not a USB hub. Click on its name in iTunes, then click Restore iPhone. When the Restore finishes choose to set up as a new device.
    Note that for either method you will have to disable Find my iPhone first, either in Settings/icloud on the phone or by logging in to https://icloud.com/find.

  • How do I rename Jpeg photos when downloaded into text edit

    Emailing photos from my phone then downloading onto Mac Air. They always show up in text edit and I want to rename them to post with a title. How do I do this, thanks

    I'm guessing you're saying that you are emailing photos from your iPhone to an email account on your MacBook Air.  You are then using Apple's Mail program to open that email which has a photo attachment.
    If that's true, then save the photo attachment.  It will end up in your Downloads folder.  Find it there, and (double?) click on the name area of the file to rename it.

  • How can I rename my iTouch when the computer recognizes it as a digital camera device?

    I just bought a new iTouch and I named it "Jamie's iPod". When I plug it into the computer, it recognizes it as a digital camera portable device as well. But the name of the digital camera device is different from what I named it, even though I never did name it. How do I change it?
    Even if I right-click it and go to properties to try to change the name, it doesn't work. (I use Windows 7.)
    Thanks in advance!

    On the Pc While your iPod Touch is Connected to your computer . You can go to the Decive Manger  > Portable Devices > Apple Ipod . Right Click and Uninstall ( This will not earse nothing) Then Unpulg the cable from your device and  replug it. Pow it chage to Apple Ipod as how the computer should read it. (becuase it looks cooler. and the computer is like you just plug a Apple iPod Portable Device)

  • HT1766 How do I fix my iPhone 4 out?

    I downloaded and installed iOS7 onto my iPhone 4 a couple of days ago. I thought it had finished installing but it hadn't and I left the house with it, with no internet. It stayed on the loading screen all day and wouldnt change until it ran out of battery, the battery warning was in iOS 7 format. I thought when I got home it might carry on loading and finish it because of the wi-fi but it didnt. I just put it on charge and left it, it went back to the screen and didnt load once. I tried reseting it and it just went back to it. I plugged it into my iTunes on my laptop and it says that it's on iOS7. I've tried everything but the screen won't change. I don't know what to do, I'm tempted to just take the battery out then put it back in again? Should I? I dont know what to do. (My phone is also backed up so nothing would get lost)

    Wow. That is very vague.
    In what way is the iPhone broken?

I just want to BackUp my iPhones contents like I used to do with the old iTunes software but this one unfortunately doesn't give me an option to? Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes I have the current updated version of iTunes which is 11.1.5. So yeah when I connect my iPhone directly to the MacBook Pro I have tunes pops up and wants me to restore the phone iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone “Enzo’s iPhone”. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings. it doesn't give me any option to click to manually back up or restore. It only happens to my iPhone because I'm a Apple Developer and I called Apple just now and they said it works for non developers but for developers the new update isn't for some reasons working like it should Apple Care wasn't able to give me any help regarding this they told me to contact the developing team so I did but it haven't heard back from the team. My friends iPhone 5 works when I plug it into my computer and it shows what should be showing the normal user interface like manually backup or restore ect... but when I load it up this shows ? iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone “Enzo’s iPhone”. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings."
