How do I backup my data to iCloud, instead of my computer?

iCloud backup is for iDevices, not for normal computer backups. There are commercial services that provide that.

My IPhone need to restore, but I want to backup my data first.
Itunes keep telling me you must restore this iphone before it can be used. How I can backup my data?

At this point it is too late. When you restore it will restore the backup made at the time of the last sync. And changes to the phone's content after that last sync will be lost.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

How to delete back up data in icloud?

How to delete back up data in iCloud?

From previous posts:
If you mean backed up in your iCloud backup, you can delete the backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, touch your backup and tap Delete Backup, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.
If you mean data synced to your iCloud account like contacts and calendars, you can either delete if from your device or go to icloud.com on your computer and delete it there.

how can i backup a reset the iCloud account of somebody who dies? (my brother)

Apple's Terms of Use for iCloud say:
No Right of Survivorship
You agree that your Account is non-transferable and that any rights to your Apple ID or Content within your Account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate your Account may be terminated and all Content within your Account deleted. Contact iCloud Support at www.apple.com/support/icloud for further assistance.
Basically you have no rights in his account: if you know his password you can enter the account and retrieve personal data to use elsewhere. If he had purchased music, films or apps in iTunes you cannot transfer these to your own account.
If you don't know the password it seems doubtful that Apple will allow you access to it. However as far as all these questions are concerned the authoritative answers must come from Apple so you will need to contact them as indicated above.

How to recover backup user data after a restore

I had a disk fail and could not boot. while in the restore software I was able to backup user data to a USB drive. Now that I've restored from the restore partition and got it running windows 7 home again, I don;t see how to recover the user data made with the low level software. Windows back up doesn't seem to recognise it and I can't find an HP utility to get at it.
A program saved with the .wim back up files brought up an HP restore manager application that then copied the filed to my new C drive but how do I actually get it to recover them into their appropriate places and recreate users etc.
Or, should I just consider myself lucky to still have copies of the files at all? I'll not be real happy about that because it will be a tom of work to recreate everything manually even with the files.
I'm hoping someone out there has a better solution for recovering all my user data into my new restored initial image.
thanks,
-dcb

Hello dcbrower, You may be able to use the program Universal Extractor to extract the files in the .wim file.
This is a Free program that can be found at this Link. .
Just extract the files in the wim file to a location you would like.
Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.

I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website. How can I backup my data?

I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?

No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.

Satellite L350 - Can't install Vista and how can I backup my data?

Hi to all
I have a Satellite L350 and recently I've installed Vista Home Premium in a different language (the OEM Vista was in English) hoping I could activate it with the OEM key, but I didn't succeed.
When I wanted to re-install the OEM Vista from WinRE I realized I can't access it and then I had a "brilliant" idea that if format the C partition with the Acronis Disc Director it would boot from WinRE. It didn't.
Fortunately Ive burned the recovery discs before. The only problem is that the recovery disc formats the entire HDD and I have data on the second partition I've would like to retrieve.
I tried to install again the retail Vista to backup the data from the second partition (yes, I'm an idiot, I didn't do it before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with a low dash blinking.
I really need that data, please help!

Hi!
I can tell you why you cant install a retail version of Vista by using the product key. This is pretty easy because the key on the bottom side on the notebook belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and cant be used by a retail version.
However, I think the best way to backup your data would be that you put the HDD in an external HDD case and then you can backup your data on another PC or notebook.
Such external HDD cases are not expensive but very useful.

New computer with ipad2. old computer broken.how can i backup the data?

old laptop broken. how can i input the data to new labtop with new itune?

Thanks for your adivse. reg 2), how do I hack my apple TV?
Not really something that can be discussed here in detail.
Did you have Time Machine running? If so you may be able to pull back iTunes files.
what is SSH? please adivse.
If you don't know I think hacking might prove daunting for you.
I've not hacked my AppleTVs so can't offer advice one way or another but I suggest you do not update your AppleTV to 2.2 yet, and you must not sync AppleTV to a new itunes library or it'll trash the exisiting content.
Google 'AwkwardTV' and 'AppleTV hacks'.
Personally I'd say that your safest option is probably to dismantle the AppleTV and connect the internal drive to a Mac via a USB or Firewire enclosure then manually track down the files - copy them only and don't alter anything on the drive. This would of course void any warranty - depends how important that stuff on AppleTV is.
It also emphasises the importance of backing up stuff regularly though in practice we may not do so as often as we'd like.
It also highlights two things:
1 - There really should be a method of accessing stuff from AppleTV by manual drag and drop. I really don't understand why they don't implement it as your kind of issue is very frequent and you'd really thank Apple if that feature were available.
2 - Currently AppleTV must not be regarded as external storage or a backup copy of iTunes files/photos. It is not designed to be a backup but with a little software enablement it could clearly to this. I suspect connection via USB would be frowned upon as people might try and access system files, but a 'rescue mode' via iTunes perhaps accessed via the diagnostics/system restore/reboot menu would be ideal.

WARNING: You MUST backup your data before doing anything to your computer

99.99% of the time, problems you see on this board can be solved by a prudent backup plan. Lost data files, hard drive failures, testing for hardware issues, testing for software issues, misplaced data files, incompatible applications, failed software installs, hard drives which are too full, bad directories, bad permissions, corrupt files, all can be solved, if you had one thing: A backup plan which included at least two copies of your most essential files when they were in good condition. With all of the above conditions, testing for the condition's severity requires a backup be present, as numerous conditions have similar symptoms, which if they weren't present when you last made your backup, you'd be able to just recover your backup and everything would be good. No software maintenance program can replace the need to backup your data, as no software maintenance program can test for all the conditions which may need you to recover your data. Only backup software alone can let you recover yourself back to a working condition. Does it have to be an external hard drive? Not necessarily, even a printed copy of your data, a burnt CD, a flashdrive, or a remotely saved backup is better than nothing. So before you install anything, connect any new hardware, or risk yourself to any software maintenance program, backup your data. You'll be glad you did.
And feel free to ask in here what's the most convenient way to backup your data given your needs and abilities. Everyone can backup their data. So the only reason you wouldn't is if you have a prediliction for wanting the pain of losing your data.

Hi a brody,
Thanks for this suggestion.
While I understand the sentiment behind this tip and the need to backup, the tone reminds me of Chicken Little. It may read better as a suggestion of best practices (and why) rather than the extreme warning portrayed. The strong language also makes it sound like an opinion rather than objective suggestions.
The Title reads like, "OMG, don't touch your computer without a backup."
99.99% of the time problems on the board can't be fixed with a backup. Some are how to questions, for some a backup would help them recover from the issue but not fix it.
It may also help to break up the long paragraph. (Is there such a thing as a run on paragraph? )
Remember, for User Tips we are looking for concise, easy to understand Tips that in general can be read and understood by a wide audience.
Take care,
Nubz

Backup with Data Protector is not working

Hello,
[US]We have an Oracle DB which is saved by HP Data Protector
[FR]Nous avons une BDD Oracle qui est sauvegardée via HP DataProtector.
[US]During our last backup, the Data Protector Server has crashed which has stopped the backup during the process.
[FR]Lors de la dernière sauvegarde, le serveur de backup a planté, arrêtant de ce fait la sauvegarde en cours de la BDD Oracle.
[US]Now, when we are trying to relaunch the backup, it doesn't work at all.
The Data Protector agent is starting, it sends the RMAN command to the DB and then stop.
[FR]Maintenant, lorsque nous voulons relancer la sauvegarde, elle ne fonctionne plus.
L'agent démarre bien, il envoie bien la commande à RMAN qui démarre puis s'arrête.
[US] Of we launch the backup manually thru RMAN, it works
[FR]Lorsqu'on lance cette même sauvegarde manuellement via RMAN, elle fonctionne !
[US]Lors are not really explicit !

Hello,
No disconnection at all.
It doesn't work since a crash of the DP server during the DB backup.
When we move the catalog on the same server as the DB, the backup works but if we set the catalog to an other server (like the original setting) it doesn't work and we don't know why.
It seems that when a backup is launched thru Data Protector, RMAN can't find the DB catalog. But if we run (manually) the RMAN command that DP used to do a backup, it works...

How can I restore my data from iCloud to my iPad?

Hi - I have noticed that all my calendar entries from January 2012 to the end of June have disappeared - I was advised by Apple to restore my data from the iCloud, where it is backed up - but this doesn't seem to have resolved the problem - please can anyone help?

When you restore from an iCloud backup, you have to erase the device first, then set up the iPad again using the iCloud backup. If you tried this and the entries did not download to the iPad - they are gone. They should be in the backup - but if they were not restored, then they apparently are gone.
If you still have access to a computer go to your icloud.com account using a web browser and look in the calendar to see if the entries are in there.

How do I download Iphone data (especially contacts) to a new computer/external hard drive?

How do I download Iphone data (especially contacts) to an external hard drive and then restore onto a new Iphone?

You should copy everything form the old computer, or the backcu copy of the old computer to your new one.
Certainly your computer has a method of copying everything to a new computer.
Your contacts should be in your Addrees book, Outlook, whatever program you have been syncing.
