I cant Backup my iPhone with iTunes

Hi ,
I want to backup my iPhone using iTunes, but when I connect the iPhone to my laptop it only showes 2 options
1. install as new iPhone
2. restore from this backup ( a year old backup )
is there a way that I can bypass this and just make a new backup ?
thank you in advance

Delete your most recent backup in iTunes (iTunes Preferences>Devices, click on the backup, click Delete Backup), if using a PC click Reset Sync History (also in Devices), then close iTunes, restart your device, connect your device again, open iTunes and try syncing again.

  • Why is it that when I "sync" my iphone with iTunes, apps which I deleted since the previous backup appeared in my iPhone?

    Hi,
    I am using latest version of iOS (5.0.1) and iPhone 4.
    My question is stated in the title. I wish to sync iTunes according to my current iPhone settings (i.e. backup my current settings from my iPhone to iTunes), not reinstall apps which I have already deleted.
    But when I "sync" my iphone with iTunes, apps which I deleted since the previous backup suddenly appeared in my iPhone.
    Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

    When you sync your phone check the Apps tab in your iTunes sync settings (not the Apps folder under Library on the left sidebar) and confirm that the apps you don't want on your phone are unchecked prior to syncing.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your 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 your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • I tried to sync my iPhone with iTunes, was asked if i wanted to use old phone or new.  I pressed old and lost  recent photos and apps.  what can i do to undo this mess

    An update was requested in my iphone settings to sync my iphone with itunes.  In my attempt to do this, I chose to sync with my old phone and lost all recent photos and apps.  Is there any way to reverse this mess and retrieve what I had?

    So, what i need to is
    1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
    2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
    Is it correct?
    After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
    1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
    Or need to do manually?
    Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
    How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
    Sorry to ask too much since i really need help from your guys

    You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • I want to backup my iphone on itunes, but it baskup for long long time, about 6.7 hours, and it doesn't done. What can I do ?

    I want to backup my iphone on itunes, but it baskup for long long time, about 6.7 hours, and it doesn't done. What can I do ?
    It's my iphone problem or itunes?

    It shouldn't take this long, something is wrong with your iTunes.  Try this:
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and do the sync again and if it is working now.

  • My PC crashed so I'm trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes

    My PC crashed so I'm trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes using a new user account on my PC. Nothing is syncing, but iTunes keeps telling me it has synced. My ulitmate goal is to backup contacts, etc. before updating the phone's software.

    You need to use the same Apple ID you used when you synced your contacts intitially.
    That kind of data cannot be transferred to another account nor can accounts be merged.

  • HT1386 After I synced my iphone with itunes, all my contacts disappeared, and I cannot find them.  Need help!!

    After I synced my iphone with itunes, all my contacts disappeared, and I cannot find them.

    You don't.
    You synced your iPhone with iTunes for the first time after how long?
    And this didn't happen by syncing only. This means you transferred the backup for another iPhone or you restored the iPhone with iTunes. It is not possible for everything to be lost by syncing alone. All iTunes content on your iPhone can be lost but not any photos in the Camera Roll and the same for contacts unless you synced contacts with an empty address book application on your computer.

  • Manually backed up iphone with itunes.. itunes said successful, but lied.

    I manually backed up my iphone with itunes. It said it was successful. I then went to restore my phone..got through most of the process until I had to choose which backup to restore from and my latest backup from a moment ago was never saved? I can't find it anywhere. I'm shocked. I've checked the mobilesync folder.
    So I lost a lot of things over the last 4 months. I'll have to just deal with it and move on.
    I always backup before tinkering with upgrades. One thing I didn't backup was my system harddrive. I know what everyone is going to say, but I'm just really suprised that now we can't even trust a safety feature built natively into itunes.
    If there's no other way to retrieve this, is there a way to prevent this? I guess next time I can triple check and make sure it's in that library folder before moving on... but GEEZ

    itunes gave me the standard message. Something along the lines of "backup completed"
    I actually ran diagnostics and disk utility on my harddrive about a week ago. I was just suprised that this happened. I had some trouble finding other people that had a similar problem. Only found a few from some hardcore digging via google.

    Hello Lazyboy7,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are getting an error message from iTunes when trying to manually backup with your USB cord.
    I found this article to help troubleshoot what might be going on here:
