I turned iPhone automatic backup off and it won't turn back on.

Ok. So I previously turned off automated backups on iphone. I didn't know there was a gui option to do this so I typed in the terminal command.
defaults write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true
This worked. Yet, for some reason, I can't get the opposite command to work (replacing "true" with "false") and I no longer have the right click contextual menu in itunes to manually backup.
Frankly,  a little scary to not be able to backup because I mess with the phone a lot.
PS Any solutions? I haven't recieved any errors through itunes, it is just a lack of options.

You have to get rid of the key AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled.
Paste this in the Terminal:
defaults delete com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled

  • My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power

    My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.

    When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector?  That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty.  Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look.  They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

  • My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked?

    My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
    would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
    Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
    Thanks

    A Brody,
    I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
    Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
    I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
    Again, Thank you

  • My down arrow fell off, and it won't go back on. How do I fix this without going to an apple store?

    My down arrow came off and I cannot get it to click back on. I live a good hour and a half away from an apple store. Is there anyway to fix it without having to make that trip??

    Been there, done that. My Caps Lock key suddenly decided to become a Mexican Jumping Bean. A bit of plastic had broken off the scissors mechanism when it was barely 3 months old. Apple called it a "cosmetic damage", wanted to replace the WHOLE TOP CASE, and wanted to have me pay for the gutting, to the tune of $900.
    Went to https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/ got myself a new keycap and had it on 10 minutes after the postman dropped the envelope. Been a happy camper ever since, to the tune of $4.95 + shipping.
    P.S. Since now the outlines on the O, E and Delete keys are now rubbing off, I'll go proactive, buy those keycaps as well and pop off the damaged ones. Way to go, Apple with the "quality computers".

  • HP Envy 32" monitor screen randomly shuts off and now won't come back one

    So I've had this monitor for about two weeks. Several times it has randomly just went black. The power indicator LED is still showing it's on. My laptop still recognizes that it's connected only when I physically disconnect it from my laptop or unplug the power cord does it disconnect. Right after it happens I try switching to a different input (i had another laptop hooked up to the HDMI) and also pulling up the menu but nothing happens. I try turning it off with the power button or remote, nothing happens. Only after I unplug the power and plug it back in does the display work. ...Until this last time, it went black and no amount of unplugging and plugging back in would get it to work. It still "connects" to my laptop but there's no image, only blackness. I've mainly been using it with my lenovo thinkpad yoga via the onedock pro displayport, but when I try just HDMI with my other laptop I still get nothing. I've also tried unplugging and holding the power button for >1min like another post suggested. Any ideas? I'd hate to have to send it back.

    okay so after a long wait with it being unplugged, I tried it and the display worked. i adjusted a few settings -turned off auto input selection and made DP hot plug always on (not sure what that does, but I thought I'd give it a try). Now instead of it randomly going black it randomly shows a green screen of vertical lines, and I have to unplug and wait forever before it works again. any thoughts?

  • My iPhone just shut off and won't turn back on

    My iPhone 4 just automatically shut off and now will not turn back on. I have tried plugging it to the wall and into my laptop but nothing is working.

    Connect iPhone to the Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

  • Should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

    should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

    It's up to the cellular carrier, but I believe most (if not all) will enqueue the messages when your iPhone is off.
    So generally speaking, a few minutes after you turn your iPhone on, your messages should display.  Similarly, your voicemails would arrive.

  • My iphone has gone off and will not recharge or turn on again?

    My iphone has gone off and will not recharge or turn on again. What do I do to fix this?

    Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.  You might need to hold the buttons for as long as a minute.

  • Device get Automatically switched off and unable to turn on ...

    Hi experts,
    I wish u happy new year to everyone..
    I am facing a critical issue in my bb torch 9860,device get automatically switched off and unable to turn on the device by switching the power button .after doing hard reset it turns on ....iam missing calls .please help me how to trouble shoot it

    It's obviously a software issue so I suggest jumping right to an OS reload.  Battery pulls are always a good place to start but after that you should reload the OS.
    To do this, plug your phone in to your PC and open BlackBerry Desktop Software.  Click Device at the top of the software then Restore.  Choose the most recent restore point and load it.
    Let us know if that helps you.

  • HT1688 My iphone 4 shut off and wont turn back on.

    My iPhone 4 shut off and I am not able to get it to turn on. Is there something I can do to troubleshoot it?

    Assuming it's not a dead battery, hold Sleep/Wake button and Home button until the Apple logo appears.
