HT1766 If I back up my iphone mannually on my computer, where does it go?

If I back up my iphone manually on my computer, where does it go? Can I open it and see my contacts?

Here is information about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946. You cannot open the backup without specialty software. Contacts should be synced to a support application like Outlook, Address book, iCloud.

In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

HT204022 I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone. When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option. Please help.

I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone. When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option. Please help.

If the album was synced to your phone from your computer, it can only be removed by sycing it off. To do this, deselect the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Everything should be on your computer. The iphone simply allows your computers info to be portable.

You can back up your device, either to iCloud or to your computer using iTunes, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766. If you need to know what version of iOS you are using, go to Settings>General>About and read the number across from Version.

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.

How do i transfer a video back onto my iPhone in the Photo app where it originally was and can be shared from (NOT the video app)

I have a video that i originally took using my iphone but then transfered to my PC. I want to put it back onto my iPhone in the photo app (NOT video app) so i can share it straight from my phone.
Since one of the iphone updates enabled the volume button as a camera shutter button and i was shooting the video one handed, i held the camera with the volume buttons on top. Unfortunatly, the phone still saves it in such a way that only the iphone and itunes recognize the proper orientation intended and when it's opened with any other device or program, it automatically makes the part of the video that's against the smooth side of the phone always the top side (regardless of if that makes the video sideways or upside down). I was able to get the video back onto my phone as a "video" where it shows up in the video app as a "movie" and there are no options to share via text, email, youtube (which were options when the video was still in the photo app). I need to be able to share the video with family

Have you transferred photos from your computer to your iPhone which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
If so, you can place this video in the folder of photos on your computer that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select Include Videos.

I backed up my IPhone 4s to my computer then I got the iPhone 6 and backed that up on the same computer now my iPhone 6 is like an iPhone 4s how do I get it back to an iPhone 6?

I Have recently gotten an iPhone 6. I had an iPhone 4s before. I used iTunes to back up my iPhone 4s and worked fine. Now that I have an iPhone 6 I backed it up to the same computer, same iTunes, it then restored my old phone into my new phone. How do I get the original iPhone 6 back without taking all the original data I have on it now off?

You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?

When my iphone says it has been backed up to a computer where does everything get stored?

I am trying to baqck up my iphone on the computer. How do i know? I am basically trying to back up only my photos and videos

The "Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer" section of http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946 gives the file locations of backups. Note however that you won't actually see your photos and videos (or any of the other backup content) in those files as they are stored in a format that is meant to be used only to restore back to the phone in the event of a problem.
For photos and videos, in addition to doing a backup it is a good idea to import them to a computer where you can actually see them and know that you have a good second copy. Instructions for doing that are at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083

HT1766 When Apple does a backup of my iPhone 5 on my computer, where can I find the files?

I have just done a computer backup of my iPhone 5. The backup did not indicate where on my computer the backup files are stored. Where can I find the location of the backup files for iPhone 5 on my computer?

Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
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 the Return key.

HT1766 can i back up my ipad if the host computer has lost every thing?

Can I back up my ipad if the host computer has lost its operating system and the was re-instald?

Yes, this would be like syncing to a new computer. So, some precautions are required or you might lose what's currently on the iPad.
iTunes will only let you sync to one library at a time, if you get this warning message, follow this:

I am using the Good for Enterprise app to synch my outlook email and when I try to turn on ICloud to synch my music in ITunes I get a warning that I will not be able to synch my Iphone 4S with my computer. Does this mean my office PC or home Mac?

I am using Good For Enterprise on my Iphone 4s to connect with my Office PC Outlook email system. I am having trouble synching my Itunes music from my Mac at home with my IPhone 4s. I am considering using ICloud to share the music as I also have an IPad2. When I go to turn on the ICloud application, I get a message that alerts me to the fact I will no longer be able to synch with my computer. Does that mean with my Office PC and my Outlook email, or my Mac and my home email and other applications? I want to use the ICloud but don't want to screw up my Good for Enterprise application and connectivity with my Office PC and Outlook email. What should I do to be able to update all my tunes and photos on my IPhone 4S and IPad2 from my Mac?

I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.
