I can't backup my iPhone 5 now that I updated to iOS 6.1

Now that I updated my iPhone 5 to 6.1, I get an error message saying "iTunes could not back up the iPhone 'name' because an error occured".

Hi omar,
You don't want to do any kind of backup or sync on a different computer than the one where your iTunes library is stored. If you do, you will lose everything on your phone.....and then will have to restore it on the original computer.....

  • How can I text non iPhone users now that I have imessage?

    How can I text non iPhone users now that I have imessage?

    "Settings > Messages > Send as SMS = "On""
    That is only for sending SMS if the iMessage user is not available via wifi or data.
    If sending text to non-iphone user, that setting does nothing.

  • Can't backup my iphone after itunes 10.5 update

    Aaargh, since I updated itunes to 10.5 on sunday, I got some issues with either itunes or the iphone - can't tell which one is the problem. The update took 4 hours but seemed to work but now the iphone is not recognized as a device and its impossible for me to update to ios 5 Automated update process is interrupted by the alert " can't backup", manual backup is not working either since itunes seems to "hang".

    This solution totally worked for me:
    This solution has been documented on this forum by several people, but the solution is usually deep in multiple threads. I really don't know who came up with it first, but it does indeed work.
    I had an issue with iTunes.exe, APSDaemon, and AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe using 100% CPU per core. (Showed as 25% in Task Manager.)
    I could not backup my iPhone and the CPU spike happened as soon as iTunes 10.5 was started on Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
    This solved it.
    Sounds stupid but works:
    1. Quit iTunes.
    2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator")
    3. Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
    4. Reboot your machine.
    5. Restart iTunes.
    6. ???
    7. Profit!

  • HT1766 how can developers backup their iPhones via the new software update iOS 7.0.6

    I'm a current Apple Developer but once I sync my iPhone 5 into the current latest version of iTunes it wants me to restore the phone not back it up. I just want to BackUp my iPhones contents like I used to do with the old iTunes software but this one unfortunately doesn't give me an option to? Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch..

    Yes I have the current updated version of iTunes which is 11.1.5. So yeah when I connect my iPhone directly to the MacBook Pro I have tunes pops up and wants me to restore the phone iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone “Enzo’s iPhone”. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings. it doesn't give me any option to click to manually back up or restore. It only happens to my iPhone because I'm a Apple Developer and I called Apple just now and they said it works for non developers but for developers the new update isn't for some reasons working like it should Apple Care wasn't able to give me any help regarding this they told me to contact the developing team so I did but it haven't heard back from the team. My friends iPhone 5 works when I plug it into my computer and it shows what should be showing the normal user interface like manually backup or restore ect... but when I load it up this shows ? iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone “Enzo’s iPhone”. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings."

  • I cant print from my IPhone 4 now that I updated to cable Internet Arris router.  I was using a lynksys and had no problem previously with AirPrint and my HP D110 printer.  Please help!

    How can I get my phone to print again?  I recently changed to Comcast Internet from AT&T.  Now my HP d110 is not recognized.  AirPrint can no longer recognize my printer.

    karengjbs,
    Some Arris routers do not support Multicast, or Bonjour, the service that AirPrint uses. Verify both devices are still attached to your wireless network and Bluetooth is off on your iPhone.  You may also want to power your printer and router off, then power the router on fully, then the printer.
    If you need any assistance with the above steps or verify that the router does or does not support the necessary service, please advise.

  • I can't sync my iphone to itunes since I updated to ios 7.

    I updated my 4S last night with ios 7.  After I did it, I couldn't sync my phone to my iTunes account on my computer.  I have 11.05 installed.  However, I get a pop up message when I plug my phone in to the computer that I need 11.1.  Anyone having this problem?  Any ideas on how to fix it since I cannot locate an iTunes 11.1?

    After a little research, I finally figured out the problem.  You cannot see the iTunes 11.1 download in anything but IE.  I was running Firefox.  Switched to explorer and was able to download the correct version of iTunes. 
    Hope this helps someone else out!

  • When I use Quicktime on my iphone 4S, it stops playing when screen locks now that I updated to iOS 7.  Is there a fix for this?

    I am utilizing a radio station app while doing this.  It used to work before the upgrade.  I could listen all day long, but know when the screen locks or when I hit the home button the station stops.

    You'll need to check on the web portal for the email provider as to whether they use POP, IMAP or both.
    If you are using POP, that protocol isn't designed for access from more than one device.
    The default behaviour for POP is to delete the messages from the server once the email has been downloaded to a PC. IMAP stores everything on the server and the client just caches a copy.

  • I can't log in to my websites anymore under a username now that I updated Firefox.

    I can't log in to sites now that I updated Firefox after all my Adobe plugins crashed. I updated and did what the site recommended to do; should it not be easier for me to log in? I also cleared all cookies and the cache, to no avail.
    I do lots of online shopping, so for me not to be able to access carts or wishlists is highly irritating.

    An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
    The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer:  Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

  • I can't backup my iPhone to iCloud Last backup could not be completed

    After updating to iOS7 I can't backup my iPhone to iCloud.  When I try it starts up, then stops and says, "Last backup could not be completed"
    Details: I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3
    Things I have already tried (in the order I tried them):
    - Doing a 'hard reset' on the phone
    - Buying more iCloud storage
    - Deleting the old backup that was saved into iCloud (so now I have no backups saved)
    - Turning phone off then on again
    - Changing my iCloud password
    - Deleting the iCloud account from my phone then signing in again
    Other issue which may or not be related:
    - I have yet to get the Music app to work on this phone since updating to iOS7.  It opens then promptly crashes.  This is secondary to getting the backups to work.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    If you want to see how big the backup is for your phone go Settings -> iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Manage storage and up the too it will tell you how large the backup files are for your phone. :)
