I wanted to do un up-date on my iPhone 4s, but it said an error occurred and it said i have to restore it and lose all my data. I just want my phone back, no up-date, with all my pictures. Please, can i do this??
I do not want to restore my phone!
If by 'un up-date' you mean you want to go back to a previous version you can't as its not supported by Apple.
As for the error message what did it say?
If you didn't make a backup before doing whatever it is you are trying to do then your photos are likely lost.

omg phone frozen during sync, will not turn back on and itunes wants me to restore but unsure if all my precious photos etc have been saved and if so where they are?? I cannot turn phone back on its frozen with itunes icon picture on screen!! help
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

I just got a new phone today the iphone 5c and i plugged it into itunes. i wanted to get all of my data from my iphone 4s but when i synced my phone all of my iphone 3 data was on my new phone how do i get my iphone 4 data on my new phone?
Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

In my icloud account on my iphone I have three ios devices. How do I manage the backup of my old phone ? I dont want to detete that backup completetly, just manage that phone back up ? Please help!
It will be backed up on your computer and can later be restored to an iOS device using iTunes, if desired. Of course, if your hard drive crashes you'll lose it if it isn't backed up somewhere else. If you want to included it in your computer backup, it will be located at one of the following locations:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup -
I did a backup from my 3G and want to get the backup now on my iPhone 4, but the backup from the old 3G is not shown as an option to configurate. How do I get the information on my new phone?
First, back up your old iphone manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your old phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

How to back up and restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
How to download apps for free again:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
After that, connect your new phone and let iTunes set it up. iTunes will detect the old 3G backup and ask you, if you want to use it to restore the info on your new iphone. If you agree, all settings and data will be present after the process is finished.

Simple question: I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder. How can I do this? If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"
iCloud does not provide general file storage or backup, so you cannot back up your Documents folder using it. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options (some are free):

iCloud at basic level, with 5GB is storage, is free: you only pay anything if you want to increase the storage space. -

I have an ipod that is synced with an old PC, and now I have a Mac and I want the ipod to sync the photos on it with the Itunes on my Mac, but it says it was synced with another ipod. How can I accomplish this?
Is it the same user/iTunes account or...?
Syncing to a new computer should give you the opportunity to replace the exisiting contents with the new. -
Have new update but when i am on trying to sync I have no scroll down bar to select option on the bottom of pages so sync is not done with all i want on it. Using my arrow keys also dont work. I have deleted itunes and reinstall but its still the same. Any ideas?
iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

I have motion on my lap top and want to share it with my i mac. Can i do this?
Hi ,
I have motion on my laptop and want to share it with my imac... can I do this?You can use a flash drive and move it over from the laptop to the iMac, but I'd go to the App Store on your iMac and simply redownload it. It won't cost you anything since you've already purchased it (assuming you're using the same Apple ID).
That way it creates and installs and the necessary folders and content in the right places.
Now, to share projects - it's a little bit different.
1. You can work on the project on your laptop, transfer it to a flash drive, copy it over to your iMac, work on it, and do it all over again. Saving over the same file, or creating different versions, would be up to you - but it's the worst feeling to open a project and find out it's a previous version - and for whatever reason you won't be able to get to work on the latest version for some time.
2. Skip the flash drive, and use AirDrop from a Finder window to wirelessly transfer the files.
3. I've found the easiest way to do this is to create a Dropbox account (if you don't already have one) install it on both machines, and save your project to the Dropbox folder. You avoid all the hassle of the other two methods - you just need to have access to the Internet for the files to sync.
It's worth noting, when you're transferring your project - there's a .motn file, and usually a corresponding folder for the media if you decided in the preferences to have Motion copy all the assets to the folder, rather than having them all over your computer. Without them consolidated, you can have broken links, or missing media as I believe the official Motion terminology is, if you ever move a used file from the location Motion thinks it should be. Especially if you're going between two computers, it'd be best to let Motion consolidate all the media into one folder - as the file paths could end up different on the two machines.
I did not expect to write this much haha — but I hope it'll let you avoid future headaches! -
I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?
Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.

how do i stop the icloud window from poping up everytime i start iTunes ? i do not have an icloud account and don't want one., how do i stop the icloud window from poping up everytime i start iTunes ? i do not have an icloud account and don't want one.
If you don't have an icloud account, then icloud is not the thing that's popping up a window.
If you are being asked to enter a password when accessing itunes, then the problem may be that you have purchased items (apps, songs, etc) on the device that were purchased using a different itunes account than the one you currently have defined on your device.
Purchased items are forever associated with the itunes account (the apple ID) that was used to make the purchase. If you change the ID on the device, you won't be able to update any of them. You'll have to purchase them again. -
morning. I download podcast on my iMac and listen to them on my iPhone. Since last week the iPhone plays the podcast back slower than recorded and with a echo. How can I solve this?

MennoHello,
If you're in a country where there's an apple shop (unfortunately not mine), go check it and ask the employee about it: he's gonna check your Iphone on a "device"
I've got an iphone 5 and it's working very well with me but I have to admit that its battery lasts (slower) than my Ipad 2.
Still i can help with some tips that may improve your iohone's battery by an hour in addition (hopefully):
- close all apps by multitasking....
- do NOT keep the brightness to the max
Believe me you're gonna regret changing your phone to a samsung
Hope i've helped and sorry for my bad english (has english as 3rd language) -
If I buy an iPhone 4S (the unlocked and contract-free version), do I need to add a microSIM card if I just want to use it as, essentially, an iPod Touch? I'll probably get a microSIM card eventually, but I just need the wi-fi based technology now. Anyone know?
It will not do anything (other than call 911) until you activate it with a microSIM. Look into an iPod Touch instead.
