HT4859 Why would I rather use I cloud backup when transferring from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5

Which is better to use to back up my iPhone 4 then transfer to iPhone 5. iTunes or iCloud.

Faster and I believe more reliable.  However, be sure to sync photos to a computer before doing the switch. THAT is the safe way to transfer photos - too many users have gotten burned relying on getting back photos from an icloud backup.

  • None of any of the pictures on Facebook can be opened and seen on the website, I have absolutely no problem on Safari, but I would much rather use Firefox..What the heck is going on????

    About a week ago, I had no problem clicking on pictures to open them to bigger size.....As of about 4 days ago - If I try to open a picture on Facebook, it shows the comments but no picture..I don't know what is going on!!! It works fine on Safari, but I would much rather use Mozilla for my own selfish reasons, WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON????? ( I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING!!!!!)

    I agree the phones are supposed to come with the battery and battery door missing that is policy of every wireless company. The problem is that the rep that you spoke with wasn't being as thorough as they could have been to ensure that you got complete equipment, is was a processing error from the first representative. Most of the information for exchanging a phone is auto completed by the computers as well so when the rep processes the exchange they don't have any say so as to what is actually in the shipping box so being that you didn't activate the droid 3 on your account when you called in about the missing battery and complained the computer only recognized the droid x because that probably what you had activated on your account, so that's why the second replacement was droid x equipment and not droid 3

  • What programme creates a .ggi file and why would it be used?

    Have been asked to create a .ggi file and I have never come across this file extension before.
    I have googles it and got as much information as possible but can't seem to find the answer - why would it be used, what is it used for and what software creates it.
    Also, not sure where to ask this question so apologies if this is in the wrong forum!
    Any help greatly appreciated!!!!

    We can't know. File extensions are completely arbitrary and if whoever requested the format can't tell you what he/ she needs, then we can't either. If it were a commonly used file format we would probably not, but since we don't, it is probably a proprietary format associated with some lesser known or even exotic software. That being so, the request to provide such a file is actually even pretty stupid, since the only way to create it would be to have access to that program. Causal loop.

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • All my excel files were converted to pdf. Why would this happen and how do i stop it from doing so?

    Relax, they weren't converted to PDF.
    You can tell by right clicking ANY of them and choosing "Properties". You'll see there that they're STILL .xls or .xlsx files. The "association" has changed and Windows now indicates that they open with Reader, which isn't right.
    Where it says "Open With" under the General tab, you can click "Change" and re-select Excel as the default app to open thim.

  • Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

    Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

    For both
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Purchased new 5c but when i used the cloud backup it did not backup all my songs or pictures

    Purchased new iphone 5c but when I used the cloud backup to transfer my data it did not transfer all my pictures or music.  Only items I had purchased and pictures from August.

  • Why can't I use my VTone I just purchased from Verizon Market as my phone ringer?  It game me an option to mark it as my default ringer but when I go to 'settings' it only gives me the same generic ringtones, how do i get my new ringtone to use?

    Why can't I use my VTone I just purchased from Verizon Market as my phone ringer?  It game me an option to mark it as my default ringer but when I go to 'settings' it only gives me the same generic ringtones, how do i get my new ringtone to use?

        I like to customize my phone with ring tones too! Let’s get this working for you.
    Did you purchase the ring tone on our website or on the phone?
    If it was purchased online the ring tone is sent to you in a message and you need to save the ring tone first http://bit.ly/PKUfUg and it is saved as a ring tone you can go in and set it as your default ring tone http://bit.ly/R5Xa4o.
    If the ring tone was purchased on the phone you just need to go into your ring tone to set it up http://bit.ly/R5Xa4o.
    Hope this is helpful. Keep me posted if you need further assistance.

  • Why my apps are not transferring from PC to iPhone 5? When I connected to PC the icon shows when I select apps it show 'will install' but it never show on iPhone, I re installed iTunes, deleted all apps and downloaded again but its not working pls help.

    Why my apps are not transferring from PC to iPhone 5? When I connected to PC the icon shows when I select apps it show 'will install' but it never show on iPhone, I re installed iTunes, deleted all apps and downloaded again but its not working pls help.

    Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

  • HT1296 I would like to transfer my music library, including playlists, from my old iphone to my new one.  But  I can't figure out how!

    I would like to transfer my music library, including playlists, from my old iphone to my new iphone.

    Connect the new phone to the computer and iTunes, then sync your library. I'm guessing that you have been syncing the old phone in the past, which would keep your library updated.

  • Would like to use Just Cloud to do backup is it compatible with FireFox 33?

    I have Windows 7 Home Edition. I have used Norton Backup Online in the past but it stopped working a couple of months ago. I'm thinking of using Just Cloud to backup my computer but I won't if it isn't compatible with Firefox. Any advise would be helpful. thanks!

    That would be a question for JustCloud support.

  • Why would anyone not use VBR?

    FYI, I'm not an audio guru, and while I don't use the best audio equipment, I also don't buy the cheapest stuff out there.
    All that aside, my question to the many very knowledgeable people here is: why would someone not want to check the VBR option when encoding?

    Because it can sometimes interfere with importing for one and not everyone can appreciate the difference.

  • Why can't I use Creative Cloud on multiple devices?

    I wasn't told there was a limit on the number of devices I could use for Creative Cloud when I bought my subscription, and I need it to work on 7 computers. Is there a way I can expand my subscription?

    My understanding is that you can use the Cloud on any device you want but only one at a time. Just as you can install the Creative Collections on as many computers as you wish but it can only be activated on two at a time but which is not really true since you can only use one of them at a time anyway.
    I think the wording about this should change.
    For insance I travel and may or may not wish to lug a laptop with me. It is my understanding that I can when raveling log into the CC download m apps and use them on any computer capable of running the apps and work away, But since I am logged in at a different location on a different device it will only work on that device.
    And this is the way it shoulkd work because say you travel and your laptop is lost or stolen then you should be able to still use your apps and also stop them from working on the lost computer by logging in somewhere else.
    This is the way Iunderstand the advantages of the Cloud. It is designed to be flexible and not inhibiting.
    Now on the other had if I ahsd an assistant that I want to use these apps then it makes sense to purchase a license for them as well.
    It is one license for one user as it should be but that user can access it where ever they need it.
    That is my understanding.
