With what program were you synching your contacts and notes? Outlook, Address Book, iCloud, Google?

HT1766 I cannot backup my iphone, it keeps telling me the backup is corrupt and not compatible. All forums have suggested I delete the last backup but that was months ago and I'm afraid if I do that and it still doesn't work, I won't have anything saved

I cannot backup my iphone, it keeps telling me the backup is corrupt and not compatible. All forums have suggested I delete the last backup but that was months ago and I'm afraid if I do that and it still doesn't work, I won't have anything saved. Can anyone help?

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

I upgraded to Ios5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

I upgraded to IOS5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up. I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
Any ideas how I can do this?

New iPod lost all contacts and notes

I got a new iPod which iTunes recognized without a problem except I lost all my contacts and notes when I switched to the new iPod. How do I restore them? I did not have them in my mail program because I only used webmail. I need to put all the contacts from the old iPod backup onto my new iPod. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

You could try restoring from the backup of your old ipod:

Ipod touch is designed to be synced with a compatible program on your computer. If you are not doing this, then you are asking for trouble at some point.

I lost my Contacts and Notes

I wanted to switch my e-mail account on my iPhone 5 so I deleted my current account and added the new mail account. The account I deleted from my phone is the same as my iTunes /iCloud account, and it appears that is how I deleted my phone contacts. I have confirmed my contacts and notes are still tied to my iTunes / iCloud account ID. How can I restore my contacts and notes to my phone from my iTunes /iCloud account? I think if I synch my phone with my computer it will delete my information on my computer.

Hey Pros4ever!
If you have simply deleted the iCloud account from your phone, then you will want to sign into your iCloud account again by following the instructions below:
iCloud: iCloud account

On your iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud.

I have Iphone4 Factory-unlock from Etisalat (Dubai-UAE) and when trying to upgrade my IOS to 4.3.3 it always gives me error -3259 (err=-3259), any help. (F.I: My current IOS4.3 and Itunes 10.2 are all orginal from Apple)

As mentioned, i bought this phone from Etisalat (Dubai-UAE based operator) and i never face a issue perviously on updating an IOS, this time after downloading IOS 4.3.3 I always get a error (it says Network issue) with Number Err= -3259 and never lets me update the IOS on my Iphone 4. My Iphone is completly original (Meaning, not jail breaked) and its using Itunes 10.2.2. The reason i want to update is becuase after updating the current installed IOS (4.3.2) the battery life is really bad and when i want to restore my Iphone4, it wants to download the updated IOS software (4.3.3) and when trying to update its gives me error all the time and does not let me update or install it.
Any help and update on how to fix this issue.

Have you tied restoring from backup? If you go to the Devices tab in iTunes' Preferences, does the date of the backup correspond to before you had you problem?

Can I share contacts and notes between two iCloud accounts without sending every contact/note?

My wife and I have been sharing my iCloud account which is very convenient because we automatically get the same calendar, contacts and notes on our devices. If I were to put her on a separate iCloud account, can we automatically share our contacts and notes without having to send every single one every time a change is made? I understand that the calendars can be shared fairly easily with family sharing but the others may be more problematic.

David,
Thanks for the reply. That's how I set it up originally. Although the new iOS 7 update lost some functionality. I found the following on the TUAW website. The Safari Bookmarks and Find My Phone options have been removed from the secondary iCloud accounts options. This is the problem. Everything worked great before we updated. I guess "new way" consolidates the iCloud accounts better with Maverick? Now I will have extra documents on my phone that I don't need. We will both have to share the same iCloud storage and backup space too. Have to try it out and see how it works. Thanks.

How can I remove the entire group "On My iPhone" under contact and notes?

I am using iCloud to sync my contact and notes. It's pretty good right now since it can maintain a signle copy of each without duplicate entries.
However, the outstanding issue is that I want to remove the entire group "On My iPhone" under contact and notes as a lot of duplicates inside there.
How can I do that? Or de-duplicateing the entries there is also fine. Thanks.

I found a solution for this by using iCloud and iTunes. It is applicable to Mac users.
For Contacts
1. Make a source copy of contacts without any duplication in iCloud contact.
2. Remove any groups in Address Book in your Mac, so that the number of contacts in iCloud is equal to that in All Contacts in Address Book.
3. Launch iTunes. Connect your iOS device. Go to Summary tab. Mark "Back up to iCloud" button
4. Go to Info tab, Click "Sync Address Book Contact" and then select "All contact"
5. Check "Contacts" under "Replace information on this iPhone" at the bottom.
6. Click "Apply" button at the bottom of the iTunes.
Your iOS device will be replaced with the "Contacts" from Address Book with "On My Mac" group, which contains zero contacts records.
7. Uncheck "Sync Address Book Contact" again. A dialog box appears, stating that iTunes will no longer sync contacts to your iOS device. Click "Remove contacts" button in the dialog box.
8. Click "Apply" button at the bottom of the iTunes.
9. After sync, you will get a "All on My iPhone" group on your iOS device with zero contacts, one All Contacts showing all contacts records, and the other is the "All iCloud" group containing the source copy from iCloud.
For Notes
1. Make sure you have a me.com account enabled in your iCloud for Mail & Notes sync
2. Using Mail, you can move and de-duplicate the notes and make a final copy in the Notes under iCloud. Clear all notes records under other sources. e.g. On My Mac, Gmail, etc.
3. Launch iTunes. Connect your iOS device. Go to Summary tab. Mark "Back up to iCloud" button
4. Go to Info tab, Click "Sync notes" under Other section
5. Check "Contacts" under "Replace information on this iPhone" at the bottom.
6. Click "Apply" button at the bottom of the iTunes.
Your iOS device will be replaced with the "notes" from Mac with "On My Mac" group, which contains zero notes records.
7. Uncheck "Sync notes" again. A dialog box appears, stating that iTunes will no longer sync notes to your iOS device. Click "Remove notes" button in the dialog box.
8. Click "Apply" button at the bottom of the iTunes.
9. After sync, you will no longer get any accounts in Notes. The only copy of Notes is from iCloud.

Will I lose my sms and notes if I upgrade to 6.0.1

I have an iPhone 4 which currently is running on iOS 6. Will I lose my sms and notes if I upgrade to iOS 6.0.1? Other things I am not worried about. SMS is a must. Please suggest a wayout.

If you are updating from iOS 6, you won't lose data. However, you must make an iTunes or iCloud backup before updating in case the update fails and you have to restore the iPhone

Ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?

In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account. Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want. How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?

Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account. Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want. How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID? If so, where do I need to change his email address info, so that his calender and contacts remain his? Thank you

You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

Lost my contacts and calendar since update and statesThe iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required).e

I lost my contacts and calendar, and photos since the iOS update and and it states that my iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required). Also it shows that I am over capacity on my Capacity ruler but how do I unload some of that stuff so that I can increase my capacity and perhaps get this synching to work again.
So frustrating!!

On your iPhone go to settings>general>about and next to "Available" if you dont have much space then you will need to delete stuff on the phone to make room to take photos by deleting stuff on the phone.
In terms of syncing change what you are syncing and decide what you would really want and not want on your phone which would make what is syncing to the phone smaller.

I am getting a message that reads: "itunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I am trying to copy my contacts and notes into my new 4s

I cannot access my itunes store due to upgrading to 10.5 so I could download my contacts and notes to my new 4s

Unless you've tried to install an older version of iTunes that message likely indicates a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash...
