HT201269 How do i back up my iphone with all my contacts etc to my laptop. I need to restore my phone as the speakers have ceased to work.
My iphone 4s ringtones are all the same and there is no real volume from the phone. It will not let me play videos and my alarm tune does not go off. I have been advised to restore my phone but need to back up all my contacts telephone numbers first. How do I do this?

How can I take my Iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and my power button is broken?
Unfortunately, you will have to restore your iPhone...
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 :
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. -
I tried to update my iPhone 4S but I now keep getting an error saying I need to restore my phone before it can be used because it's in recovery mode! But if I restore it I lose all my media and data and I don't want to do that! Is there anything I can do?? Somone please help, i'm freaking out over here!
Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to restore. If you were backing up and syncing the phone on a regular basis, you should be able to restore your backup with minimal data loss.

You can use iCloud to backup your iPhone to the iCloud servers automatically. Is that what you mean?
Just go to settings -> iCloud
Sign in with your apple I'd and activate iCloud backup. -

Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.
Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice! -
On the iPhone, it states that it was backed up yesterday and I would like to restore my iPhone back to this.
However, when I connect my phone to the computer and it asks me which backup I would like to choose, the last one available to me is in 2012, which is not suitable.
Is it possible to restore my phone to the backup that is on my phone or are the options that are available to me on my comptuter the only choices?
How it happened was that I bought a new iPhone and my old one has recently been given to a friend, who has since bought it a sim.
Before parting with this old iPhone, I did not check it was restored to factory settings and all of my information was still on it, including my contacts and the same apple ID.
When the new sim was put into the old iPhone, the friends contacts were imported and mine have since disappeared, from both the old iPhone and the one I am currently using.
Although the contacts that have been added to my old iPhone are on mine too, meaning mine are no longer on my old iPhone or my current one.
I really could do with my contacts back considering they are of importance, yet I have no idea how to go about getting them back, is there any chance anyone knows how I could restore my phone to a recent backup without connecting it to my computers itunes?
Thanks.Your entire second paragraph is so confusing I am going to ignore it.
But I may be able to answer your first and third paragraphs, which seem to address the same question.
I wonder where your iPhone states it was backed up yesterday. I am going to assume that you see this under Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If that is true, then the backup from yesterday is in iCloud. The one and only way to restore an iCloud backup is to do this on your iPhone:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
That will cause your iPhone to begin a setup process. As part of that process, assuming you enter the same Apple ID you used when you created the iCloud backup, you will be offered the opportunity to restore from it. -
How do i back up my iphone to an external hard drive and not my computer
How do I back up my iphone to an external hard drive attached to my pc and not my pc? My disk on my pc is almost full and even though I selected the external hard drive it still seems to try to back it up to my computer, then says I don't have sufficient storage. I cahnged my folder under preferences to the External Drive folder.
This is where iTunes stores backups for different operating systems: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
I do not use a Windows machine, have a Windows Vista Dell I rarely startup now. But, from what I remember with Win boxes is, you will have to create on the external hard drive a file system like that one iTunes normally uses, and then in the iTunes preferences or control panel edit the location for the storage to specify the name of the external hard drive, or its letter code, with the name of that file system you created on the exernal drive.
I would also move all of the files from the internal file system to the external since you have now told iTunes that is where they are...before deleting from the internal drive, test iTunes to see that it goes where you want it to go. -

Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help
Yes i had not taken back up before restoring it. However i was just going through some links on the net and there is a software available for MAC to retrieve such lost data. But the point is will the said software work on iphone as the OS is not MAC..
Will have to give a try to this. If successful will share it with all. Anyone else has any idea about this please so share. -

i updated my iphone and all my contacts were deleted, how can i get them back?
like roaminggnome said you should see your contacts again once you sync with iTunes. if you used iCloud before, make sure contact sync is turned on and your contacts should be back.
