I have a 4 s i phone and want to back up to my computer via itunes, how do i do it?

have an I phone 4 s, need to backup to my computer, how do I do this?

When your iPhone is connected to iTunes and available under Devices in the iTunes source list, right-click on the iPhone and at the menu window that appears select Back Up. If you choose to have your iPhone backed up with iTunes and not wirelessly with an Apple iCloud accout, the iPhone's backup is updated automatically at the first step during the iTunes sync process.

    So when you plug it into your computer, you're not getting a message in iTunes that it has discovered a phone in recovery mode?
    Reboot both the computer and the phone and try again.

  • I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine 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 iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
    above covers purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

    How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
    Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
    Any thoughts or pointers?

    Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
    You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

    Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.

  • My husband and I have upgraded our phones (iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) to the iPhone 5s.  We have given 2 of our kids the "old" phones and want to set them up as an iPod touch.  Both kids have email and need to be able to text (iMessage).

    My husband and I have upgraded our phones (iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) to the iPhone 5s.  We have given 2 of our kids the "old" phones and want to set them up as an iPod touch.  Both kids have email and need to be able to text (iMessage).
    I have read multiple posts on how to do this and I am still confused.
    Apple ID/ICoud:
    We want to be able to monitor what they do, but do not want their devices linked to our emails/contacts/etc...  Each kid has their own email account.  So, from what I have read the best way to do this is to use our family Apple ID, but set them up with a separate iCloud account?  Is this correct?
    Reset/Restore/DFU:
    To start fresh we have done multiple factory resets.  I did one that someone said was a DFU and a plan ol' factory reset, etc...  Not sure the difference.  However, when I do that I get the "hello" screen and am able to start setting the phone up anew.  However, when I go to set the phone up as an iPod I end with the same result.
    So, here is what I am doing (tell me what I am doing wrong):
    Hello Screen
    Asks me to select language and selecting:  English
    Select Your Country or Region:  United States
    Choose a Wi-Fi Network:  select my home wi-fi network
    Enter password:  entered my home wi-fi network password
    Activiate iPhone - wants me to enter Apple ID and Passwordsays that this iphone is currently linked to an Apple ID (k*******@gmail.com).  Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.
    Location Services - I have enabled location services
    Set Up iPhone
    Set Up as New iPhone
    Apple ID
    Options are to sign in with your Apple ID or Create a Free Apple ID
    Or I could "skip this step"
    I signed in with my Apple ID
    Terms and Conditions - Agree
    iCloud - I can select either to use iCloud or Don't Use iCloud - I selected use iCloud
    Find My iPhone - I can select either to use find my iPhone or to not - I selected use find my iphone
    Once I do this it says iMessage and FaceTime and shows the following:
    my email
    my other child's cell phone number
    and my husband's work phone number
    This is where things do not make sense.  I only want the phone set up with the current child's email address.  Where did I go wrong?

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

  • How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer.

    How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

    Hey susanneyes,
    Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
    Hopefully this helps!

    Hello there MizzouTrojan,
    If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    Share a calendar privately
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
    Note:    You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.” 
    Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
    Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only). 
    For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
    When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
    Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, but my husband has his own itunes acct, how can he use the main itunes library and get out music on his phone also

    I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, unfortunately my husband has his own itunes acct and when i change on his phone to my itunes acct it states that the email is already in use, any help on how to get the itunes match to go onto both devices, thanks

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

    Then there is more than one Apple ID involved.... Or a Restrictions Passcode has been set.
