HT1766 i need to backup via itunes from icloud...iphone5

My main question is do I turn off icloud now or after I've set up back-up on itunes? I originally set up backup using icloud but have reached my free maximum storage. I don't want to pay for additional storage,. Do I need to back up to itunes first, then turn off icloud? Or turn off icloud then backup to itunes? Thanks!

Hi tupperktaz5,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest backing up to iTunes first, and then just turn off the iCloud Backup setting on your iPhone. As an extra precaution, I also import my iPhone purchases into iTunes, and import my photos directly to the computer. While we are talking about backups, do you have your iTunes library backed up using Time Machine (Apple) or an external drive? Here are a couple of articles that may be helpful for you:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Following a software update, I can no longer access/authorise music purchased via iTunes from my old Apple ID, which I have not used for 8 years, and no longer have password. Any ideas how I can re-access/recover that music?

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

All this has been done including trying to backup via itunes (on my PC). all this still doesn't solve the problem. Anyone have a possible solution?

Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: You must hold both buttons down together.

Iphone 3GS 6.1.6 can't do Backup (neither iTunes nor iCloud)! Please help!

Hi.
because I purchased a iPhone 6 I want to backup my loved 3GS for transferring data to the new one.
But if I try to backup via iTunes, after probably 10sec an error messages occures "iTunes couldn't backup iPhone xyz because an error occurs"
(sorry I don't know the exact words for the error message in English, the original German says "iTunes konnte keine Datensicherung des iPhones xyz durchführen, da ein Fehler aufgetreten ist")
There is NO error code or detailed information.
What I tried so far:
- update iTunes
- restart iPhone and Notebook
- delete Backup folder
- delete iTunesPrev
- run iTunes in administration mode and WinXP compatiblity mode
Nothing works....:(
I also tried so backup via iCloud. Also nothing! Without any error messages it stops.
Pleas help! I'm totally desperated about it...
Best regards,

I'm having a similar problem, where you able to resolve it? I cannot get a backup to complete. It seems to just timeout. I never do get any error messages, it just stops. It is not the cable, as I've tried several. I've also tried it over the wifi sync and to the cloud. No dice. There is plenty of storage on the cloud, 197 gb.
It's a 32 gb iphone 3gs on iOS 6.1.6
I'd like to get a good backup so I can restore it on a newer iphone.

Please how can I restore my ipod touch 2g from a firmware that I own already on my computer and without any time need to download via itunes

You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync. To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.

Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

I need to get the photo's synced via ITunes from my IPhone to my Windows PC

Due to a hard drive failure I have lost all my data on my Windows Desktop. I have synced most of the photo's on my IPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 via ITunes however it seems I cannot do the reversal to get the photo's from the IPhone to my Windows Laptop. Has anyone got any suggestions to help??

The only photos that you can put onto the drive of the computer from the phone are the ones in the Camera Roll. Those are done via the Import utility in Windows. Photos that have been synced to the iPhone via iTunes would have to be taken from the iPhone via a 3rd party utility. You cannot sync photos that have been synced to the phone back to a computer via iTunes. It does not work that way.
There are a number of 3rd party utilities that you can use, but TouchCopy by Wide Angle Software is a good choice. I have used it before, and there is a free trail or a purchased alternative, depending on how much you need to do. That also will allow you to archive voicemail, SMS, and other data from the phone, if you did not have a backup of your iTunes library on the desktop. Remember the photos that were synced to the iPhone were done so in a reduced resolution, so you would not be getting them back in the same size and resolution as you synced them. Also understand, that if you did not have a backup, you will need to move music as well, or it will delete all of the music on the iPhone.

Need help getting ALL iTunes from old comp hard drive

Old computer XP Home died after house was hit by lightning. Surge protector gave it's life but not enough to save the day. However both hard drives from old computer are fine and function via connection of USB external hard drive enclosure.
New computer is Vista Home Premium on AMD64duo w/4G RAM and 500GB hard drive.
Connected old hard drives to USB and can see everything. Did Import Folder and copied most files from old iTunes Music directory. (I say most files because iTunes continues to crash after approx 10 minutes of this copy process. On 17th try now.)
Can see and play the music that got copied but artwork is gone. Playlists are gone. Ratings gone. Basically all the preferences of how I had the old iTunes setup.
Needing help in understanding how to get Artwork and anything else I can from the old iTunes.
Have not tried to plug in iPod yet. Will wait atm.
First old drive had Program files and Second old drive had all Data files.

First, I followed the instructions on this site for Backing up itunes library by copying to a external hard drive.........
That's what it does. It makes a backup copy of the iTunes folder. iTunes will not use that folder or do anything to that folder.
All that succeeding in doing was mirroring whatever I did on the C:/ drive on the E:/ drive i.e. if I deleted itunes from the C:/ drive it disappeared from the E:/ drive.
Do you mean after you followed the instructions and copied \Music\iTunes folder to the external drive and then deleted something from iTunes, it deleted it from the external drive also?
As above, iTunes will not use or do anything to that folder.
Next, I followed these instructions for Moving the itunes media folder to the external drive.
Why? You already copied the entire iTunes folder (including th emedia folder) to the external drive.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library.itl_ file in the iTunes folder on the external.
This too didn't help as the media folder is not the problem, its the library as its 735kb!
What do you mean "the library"?
735kB is small for the iTunes library.itl file and a single file in iTunes is larger than that.
Am I right in thinking there's no way of moving the library to the external drive whilst wiping it from the C;/ drive?
Yes. Follow my intruction above (Choose library) and iTunes will use the iTunes folder on the external.
You can then delete \Music\iTunes on the C: drive.

If you delete your backup on iTunes and iCloud and then wipe the phone to factory settings, does that delete all iMessages from being read on other devices (re:iPad)?

My friend had a shared phone account with his now ex girlfriend and he was not phone savy so they shared an apple id. She is able to read all of his text messages. I was wondering if the backup is deleted from the iTunes account and the iCloud, are those messages still readable by her on her iPad?

If you physically delete ANY file, you CANNOT acess it from the cloud. Because THERE'S NOTHING TO ACCESS anymore...
If you move your files to the EHD, you need to point your library to the EHD or NONE of the songs will be available anywhere, including the MBA.
EVERYTHING on your iPhone will likely have to be "reacquired" once the move is complete.

Missing iPhone backup in iTunes from iOS5 update. What happens to the backup files from the update process?

My PC had a BSOD while restoring my data. After I restarted, opened iTunes, and connected my phone, the restore did not resume. (I have seen the restore process resume after an interruption.) I tried to manually restore the data, but iTunes does not list the backup that was taken during the update process. Is this backup stored in a different location or format? Is there a way I can get my data back? I tried an extraction tool from the web and it didn't detect the backup from the update.

Same with me; I only found one backup dating back from august; tried that and works fine. But missing all my pics/vids in between. I have been searching my pc for files that were created on the day of the OS upgrade, but could not figure out any backups...
Any help?

I need to backup my mails from a time machine backup disk from a powerbook leopard to an IMac snow Leopard...can I do this?

Hi everybody...
I need to backup my complete history of emails. I have a time machine backup disk I used in a powerbook intel, second generation with Leopard OS. Now I have an Imac of 24 inches, with Snow Leopard OS. Can I use that backup disk (TM) to put the mails that used to be in the powerbook into my IMac?
My original powerbook is broken, so I cant do anything there...

You should be able to find and restore emails that were on the old Mac via Time Machine. Emails that were on the server, not the Mac, won't be there, of course.
See the blue box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

Please help. Ipod has black battery and keeps saying need to restore via Itunes.. but when I restore it goes back to the way it was...

Please can somebody help me.
My iPod keeps saying I need to connect to iTunes and restore.
I have done that, but then it says it has been restored and then reverts back again to same message.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, it is possible that the iPod's hard drive has become faulty. No matter how many time you Restore it, iTunes sees something wrong with the iPod's storage the next time, and asks you to Restore it again.
There is one more thing I can think of, that you can try.
Put the iPod into Disk Mode again. With iTunes NOT running, reformat the iPod's disk like it was an external drive, using the Windows command. Make sure you are selecting the iPod's disk for formatting. Select the format type of "FAT." If there is an option for a "quick" format, do not use it; do a "full" format. If there is a physical problem on the hard drive, this formatting attempt may fail. If it succeeds, run iTunes and do another Restore. (Even if it does not prompt you this time, you need to do a Restore so that iTunes can re-install the iPod's onboard software.)
