Thanks, Chris. Do you know why?
Do I know why what? Why you can backup to both iCloud and computer?
Backup to iCloud then plug into computer, select device, right click - Backup.
how can I restore a previous version of iOS (verizon 6.1.4) after installing ios7?
You cannot.

I lost all my data while doing the latest software upgrade, how do I get it back if I dont have a backup on iTunes?
If you don't have a backup, then all your pics/text/notes are gone.
You can sync back music and app. If you were syncing your contacts with a program in itunes, then you'll get that back.
Not sure why you didn't do a backup, especially prior to doing an upgrade. -
Which email should I send to for a refund on iCloud storage within 15 day period. Also the iPhone won't back up to iCloud it keeps saying backup failed even when I log out of iCloud and log back in how can I fix that?
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable. -
I can't seem to figure out why I can't delete and redownload my apps. I'm very confused. I've tried turning my phone on and off, and doing a soft reset.
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -

I'm sorry to hear your iPhone was stolen. The following article provides advice on what do after an iOS device is stolen:

Cannot backup after itunes update to 10.5.0.142
After updating itunes on win7 32bit, backup operation won't complete.
After several tries, the error message could not be saved on your computer appeared.
I deleted all backups as this article suggests http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529 and now I connect iphone, try to backup and nothing happens. It stays there forever. In the meanwhile, the backup folder remains in a size of 5,1mb when the progress bar is diplayed (a little progress only, usually does not show the progress bar at all. I've tried to delete the folder a lot of times, nothing happens.
Ive restarted iphone, the pc, nothing changes. BTW this article is stupid http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529 it does not answer if another user account doesnt backup either !
Any help? any ideas?I'm pasting what worked for me after going through a lot of forums etc. Don't even remember where i found it, give it a try though. it worked for me. I wonder why it was so hard to find... Cheers mates:
This solution has been documented on this forum by several people, but the solution is usually deep in multiple threads. I really don't know who came up with it first, but it does indeed work.
I had an issue with iTunes.exe, APSDaemon, and AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe using 100% CPU per core. (Showed as 25% in Task Manager.)
I could not backup my iPhone and the CPU spike happened as soon as iTunes
10.5 was started on Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
This solved it.
Sounds stupid but works:
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator")
3. Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
4. Reboot your machine.
5. Restart iTunes.
6. ???

You cannot backup without iTunes. So what did you do exactly? -
HT4847 why can't I see my music backed up in iCloud?
isn't music backed up to the iCould? If so, how come I can't see it?
Music is not backed up in iCloud.
If you have iTunes Match enabled it is stored online by that service but iCloud is not involved. -

When I try to turn on my new iPhone 5s, the ONLY options it gives me is to either backup from the iCloud or restore backup from iTunes. I have already restored the backup from iTunes, so I don't know why it keeps telling me to restore the backup. And why won't it give me any other options? I can't text, call, etc. My phone will do NOTHING.
Any suggestions?It seems you restored from a blank back up if it is still asking you to choose one of those options. Set it up as new then manually restore from back up with iTunes on your computer and be sure to check the date of the back up an which phone the back up is from.

I downloaded Icloud somehow I changed my itunes account information and cannot get back to my original account that had a redeemed balance on it how can I get back to the original account?
Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

icloud backup. This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi. This message is on the front of my ipad and it won't go away no matter what I do therefore the ipad cannot be used.
What do I need to do?Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo. -
I can no longer back up my iphone to my computer on selecting 'sync'. I can back up to iCloud but I get an error message telling me I cannot backup to my Mac. Can any one help? It's driving me crazy!
Hello joelfromn. charleston,
It seems you are unable to activate iMessage on a device with no carrier service. The following article provides information regarding activation issues:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
Check your device settings
Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set up correctly.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
