I cant back up my iPhone, as it needs a password but my screen is broken and i cant put in a password, is there anyways around this situation
If your phone is locked because you entered passcode wrong too many times then you need to restore as new and data will be lost

HT1766 cant back up 3g iphone session cant be made when try to back uo
can't back up my 3g phone on itunes to get it synched with new phone
@operea724 & DebyP
I figured out a somewhat simple fix for this problem...I tried searching the internet for solutions, and it took me a couple of trial and error tests before winding up with this very simple solution. It also fixes those with problems with a blank iTunes store after updating to iTunes 10.5.
Resetting the winsock process will fix it. And how to do it:
1. Close all running programs. Then, click on Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click on Command Prompt -> Click on Run as Administrator (or simply click on Command Prompt if you've got UAC disabled)
2. Enter the following command line in the window: netsh winsock reset
3. Press Enter and then it will ask you to restart your computer. Do so. This should fix the CPU Usage and blank iTunes store problems.
4. Once done restarting, check your Task Manager whether the situation changes or not. If it still persists, try repeating the process...if it still doesn't work...well I guess that's the time that one should contact a local Apple store and ask for a fix...=)
So I hope I was able to help with this response...=) -

Hi vyong,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are trying to backup to iTunes and are not able to. have you tried backing up to iCloud? I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

By the looks of it I'm having the same problem as lots of people. Apple seem to have made the system of syncing and backing up 2 iphones as difficult as possible. I have just bought an iphone4 and synced it to my imac. I now have my wife's apps and content. Now when it try to back up my wife's phone using a seperate log in on my imac and a new itunes install I'm asked " do you want to sync and erase all of the details on my wifes phone or do I want to erase and sync and loose all her data. No option not to!!!! I thought it was maybe the inset of dementure but lots of people are having the same problem. How hard can it be to back up one phone at a time and only that phone? Backing up my Nokia was a doddle! I thought Apple were well know for. making things easy? I have also tried backing up my wife's to a seperate itunes but you cant export her contacts etc unless I have office and entourage which I don't. I cant back up her phone as it is with all it content and apps and start from scratch as I get only the sync and erase and destroy option. AAAGGGHHH
1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it. -

backed up my iphone 4 32 gig and got a iphone 5 16gig and i cant restore it not enought gigs an my new iphone . anyone know how to delete some of old infor on old phone before restore to new phone?
Sorry, but the iPhone backup is an all or nothing deal when it comes to restoring. It is not designed to be user editable & one screw-up, attempting to do so, will make the whole backup un-useable.
If you want to give editing such a shot, post back, including the OS on your computer, & I'll tell you how. -

my iphone 4s 16G keeps restarting i cant back it up or anything else because it keeps restarting please help
Thank you for your reply.
My iTunes is up-to-date.
There is no number, just said "an error occured".
There's no problem on iCloud back up, only take long time.
I have tried this and re-downloaded iTunes, both didn't work.
I have decided to give it all up. From now on I will never keep any important data on my phone. I prefer old-fashioned one better because I like to be independent. Technology is too complicated to understand. Too much headache. Thanks anyway. Goodbye! -
Why cant i get my songs back in my iphone
ok so i recently got a new phone and tried to restore a back up from my old phone. everything was fine but i noticed for some reason some of the songs in one of the albums wouldnt copy. after seeing it was due to the files being moved i recopied them again into my playlist and phone and deleted the missing unplayable files. despite this only one song went missing and i was like no big deal it's just one song. so i kept getting new music and then after a synch, the song was back in the phone, however, half of the other songs from the album went missing. and i tried to put them back in my phone and it wont let me, like it doesnt even show to be synching or any signs of it doing anything. i made over 5 playlists to copy in the phone because this is how i resolved my issue last time. however it still showed that only one song. so i thought maybe if i delete the album off my phone maybe i can get the whole album back no problem. so i did but now i can't even get that one song back literally my iphone won't do anything after i try to drag the music to it and i made playlist after playlist and nothing and i just want to know why cause it is not the first time this has happened where i synch and songs go missing or the artwork is missing in my phone but not on the computer and i really dont know what i'm supposed to do like this update made so much stuff unecessarily complicated and i dont know how to use it or what i can do to get that album back because everytime i synch it songs go missing or songs i deleted three months ago come back instead of the ones i want to actually be back on my phone or it deletes artwork for the albums please help i'm very frustrated every move i make is a mistake
In general when syncing the device won't give the desired results the following steps should work.
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.

TS2529 Cant Back up iphone into itunes
i already follow the step to Copy a recent backup and save it to your desktop or an external hard drive. You can find your backup in these folders , after copy i see itunes have my previous back up , but i when i want to back up the latest , it show again the same iTunes could not back up the iPhone because a session could not be started with the iphone .
Hey C.Siew Fern,
Thanks for the question, and great job so far. I see that you are definitely on the right track, as you have followed the first few steps in this resource:
iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2529
Have you checked out the other steps? Including checking for security software conflicts, backing up and restoring in a new administrator account, and/or resetting the lockdown folder? If not, I would definitely proceed to those steps to continue troubleshooting.
Thanks,

Why does my IPHONE5 say cant back up to Icloud not enough storage. Whats that mean? How do I get more storage without spending more money?
With iCloud you get 5GB of storage for free and you have to pay an annual fee for more
Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Change Storage Plan
If you don't want to pay and still want to backup to iCloud you will need to delete data off the device until your under 5GB
To check if you're under 5GB go Settings > Geneal > Usage
Hop that helps -
Can somebody help me install IOS 6.1.3 back to my iPhone 4. IOS 7 or 7.0.4 is not smooth enough as perfect as IOS 6.1.3. I am stuck with this OS, every app gives a break for 4-5 seconds to open up. And playing games in this OS using iPhone 4 is really crazy. Very much disappointed that I am not able to use IOS 7 and cant go back to what I need.
