HT1766 i have an iphone 4 which i need to back up prior to loading the latest version to get icloud.  does it matter if i back up to itunes or icloud?

i just purchased a new ipad and want to sync it with my older iphone 4.  i was told to back up the info on the iphone 4 prior to loading the most current version on the iphone.  does it matter if i back up to my itunes account or do i have to back up to an icloud account?

Hey MacFromManila,
It's a different method of backing up your iPhone 4s.  This article covers the differences between the two and may actually be able to help you choose between them:

    Did anyone ever find an answer to Hugh's question?
    I'm just now facing the how-to-connect-iPhone5 (s) to the Wave. Bose will most likely sell me an expensive connector kit, but has anyone found a way to DIY? The Bose guy did say the 5 will not work with the Bose Wave stereo I've got.

  • HT202681 i have down loaded the latest version of abode flash player and i still keep getting a blocked plug in message

    please help with blocked plug ins i have down loaded the latest version of abode several time and am not getting anywhere this seems to be an ongoing problem when i get updates from them

    When you download from the Adobe site, despite the button saying “install” — it really doesn't do anything but download the installer.
    Quit the Safari browser. Next to the Trash icon on your Dock, is an icon that is an alias to your Downloads folder. Click this icon once. There will be a list of previous downloads that pops up. The file closest to the Dock is the Adobe Flash installer. Click this once to launch it. It will display like this:
    Double-click the red flash folder. This produces the following dialog — you select Open.
    You will receive a password challenge. Use your Mac OS login password. You next prompt will look like this. Choose the middle selection as I have shown:
    The Adobe Flash Player will download and install via a blue progress bar. You will need to click a Finish button, and then Safari launches taking you to the Adobe site to verify Flash Player was installed.
    In System Preferences, the bottom panel now has an Adobe Flash Player preference panel. It has an Advanced tab that enables you to check if there are newer releases of Adobe Flash available, and it wil also fetch the installer for you (usually). The System Preferences panel, and Safari must both be closed for Flash Player updates to succeed.
    Eject the Adobe Flash Player installer from your Desktop.
    Once Flash Player is installed, you may need to open Safari Preferences > Security, and check Internet plug-ins: Allow Plug-ins. Click the Manage Website Settings… button, and then select Adobe Flash Player in the left panel of the pop-up. You want Allow set When visiting other websites. Click Done, and close Safari Preferences.

  • I have a ipad mini 16GB and i was trying to update it to the latest version of ios7 when it went into recovery mode how do you get it out using a windows 8 computer?

    I have a ipad mini 16GB and i was trying to update it to the latest version of ios7 but it went into recovery mode how do i get this recovery mode away without eraseing any data using a windows 8 computer?

    Plug it into iTunes and restore it with your backup.  You should have a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

  • I down loaded the latest version on my iphone , not the phone will not work... the itune icon is on the screen with a plug symbol showing to plug in ....phone wont work ...help please

    I just down loaded the latest version to my iphon5s. Everything seemed to go well. Now the phone will not work. The screen has the iTunes icon on it with a arrow showing to plug in. its locked up  wont do anything . Turned on and off , the same picture shows up ...help please

    Your phone has entered recovery mode.  You will need to connect it to a computer with iTunes and restore it to factory settings.  Hopefully you have a backup (either iTunes or iCloud) to restore from.

  • To make sure I am up to date. I go Settings, About and see Version 4.3.3 (8J2) on iPad touch 4th gen. model! Does it mean I have loaded the latest version of software? Where in settings I can find out if iPad got (Windows 7) v11.1.4? What is (8J2)?  Help!

    Is it true?
    If it says settings general about Version 4.3.3 (8J2). I have intalled the latest vertion for iPad touch 4th generation model?  Where I can check if the iPad touch 4th generation has got iTunes (Windows 7) v11.1.4?  I think it is the latest vertion.
    When I connect ipod touch 4th generation to Mac using usb I get a message that new software vertion (6.1.5) is available for iPod! If I update it, I lose apps and data, but when I check general settings about version for iPod not iPad 4th generation I see version 4.3.5 (8L1).  Probably if I update it to the latest version it would say 6.1.5 (8L1). But what (8L1) for iPod mean? And what (8J2) for iPad touch 4th generation mean?

    An iPod touch, 4th generation can be updated to version 6.     An iPad 4th generation can be updated to iOS 7.0.4, which is the most current iOS.
    In both cases, you MUST, MUST, do a BACKUP of all data before you update!!                     
    You will probably have to restore from backup after update if you do have version 4.3.3 on a device.  This device will need to be connected to a computer running iTunes version 11.1.4
    Please!
    Read all screens carefully!!
    Read all pop ups carefully!
    iOS 7 encourages a passcode lock, you have to say "NO" - TWICE... If you don't use a passcode lock.

  • Have downloaded V801 but panel under search bar says I am not running the latest version

    I downloaded latest version 801 the first time it loaded it was ok but every time since then the bar under the google search bar say I am not on the latest version with a triangle and ! . I have checked the help bar and this says I am upto date. I have deleted Firefox and re-installed- same problem. Have checked through update page and it says firefox is up to date
    Do not know what else to try

    You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained. You appear to have the latest Firefox 8.0.1 installed
    *See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Finding+your+Firefox+version
    *You can also see your version on the ''Help > Troubleshooting Information'' display
    If you want the Google search page as your home page, a new, updated version is now built-in to Firefox. Reset your home page to '''''about:home''''' for that new display.

  • Hello you can help me my ipod or itunes I do not have total spins music on the ipod and not all the photos I've just not very much since I have up loaded the latest version 5.0 please help

    hello you can help me my ipod or itunes I do not have total spins music on the ipodand not all the photos I've just not very much since I have up loaded the latest version5.0 please help

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • I have downloaded Firefox 5.0.1 4 times but the 3.6.19 version still shows up in the "about Firefox" box. Firefox says I have the latest version, but it just does not reflect it in the "about" box.

    When I tried the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time to download 5.0.1, Firefox states that I have the latest version installed, but it still shows up as version 3.6.19 in the "about Firefox" box. And this older version is also reflected in your "educated guesses" about my current browser below.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Mozilla hangs (not responding)message. I have loaded the latest version and still have the same problem, why?

    Firefox hangs (not Responding message) I tried refreshing Firefox. I tried deleting history. I deleted Firefox and reinstalled the latest version which I already had running before and the same problem occurs. It starts hanging after a few minute when I start the computer mostly on my email page or ebay page and continues to hang for about 5 to 10 minutes then it starts to function normally. It is most annoying and I cannot figure what is causing the problem? Please help if you can?
    Thank you,

    Hello Fred McD,
    If I was unclear I am sorry, I can not start Firefox normally after starting the computer in safe mode with or without the network because my USB internet modem will not allow me access to the internet in the safe mode. the USB modem will not work when the computer is in safe mode. The only thing I can do is start the computer normally then enter Firefox in the safe mode by holding down the shift key and pressing the icon for Foxfire at the same time. This will put Foxfire in the safe mode but the computer is operating in the normal mode Because I can not get access to the internet when I use the computer in the safe mode The USB modem will not connect to the internet when the computer is in the safe mode.
    Thank you,
    aleggert

  • When I try to open the latest version I get a message saying I don't have sufficient priveleges for some of them items

    I have version 6.0. I downloaded the latest version. When I move the icon to the applications folder I get a message asking if I wish to replace the older version. When I say yes, I get a message saying I don't have "sufficient privileges for some of the items."

    It is better to download a new copy of the Firefox program from:
    http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • HT5654 I performed the update to my iphone to get the latest version, but now it does not want to activate my phone and displays the error message that the activation server is not available. Tried itunes and no luck. help anyone

    I have an iphone 3gs of which I attempted the latest IOS pdate through itunes. Now, it shows the original start up screen and when it gets to the activiaton screen it displays an error message stating: Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Help anyone??

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
