IOS4 update Back up first?

Will the update back up the iPod automatically? Or will I to do it manually?

The update will initiate a backup, but it wouldn't hurt to do it manually before you update in case something goes wrong with the automatic process.

    To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
    Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

  • TS4036 My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    My iPhone has just been replaced and I am trying to restore from iCloud but its saying no backups are compatible with the version of IOS 6.0.1. My back iOS are IOS 6.1. Can you update the phone first then restore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, update first, Settings > General > Software Update.
    Then navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • HT5100 iphone 4 update removed data from almost a year back after first syncing then upgrading?  Why  Why Why!!  and How do I get it back?

    Is there anyway to get the lost data back?

    First, see if the update is gone, or not being utilized:
    The iPod touch January Software Upgrade can only be synced to iPod touch from the primary iTunes library. If the user is manually managing music and video on iPod, this is the computer where they first set up the iPod or first set it up after restoring the iPod. The "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file can be copied from the computer where you purchased it to your primary iTunes library computer, and sync the iPod from there.
    The file is located here:
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
    Windows XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Windows Vista:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
    Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
    Now, if you can't get this to install, you can try to set your Touch to automatically sync instead of manually sync.
    If that doesn't do it, login to your iTunes store account within iTunes, goto your account, and select "report problem"
    They should be able to help you with the downloads and the update from there.

  • IOS4 Update on 3GS New Restore- "iPhone (Name) is in use by another user"

    The initial problem I encountered on my 3GS to iOS4 update was I couldn't do ANYTHING that required the network, e.g. Facebook, Safari, certain apps, youtube and more. I was told by an Apple in-store rep to restore AS NEW IPHONE instead of using my backup info, so I did.
    It works almost perfectly now. However, I just attempted to make a new playlist and sync it to my iPhone and I am getting the message "iphone (Name of my iPhone) is in use by another user on this computer"
    The problem with this is that I am the ONLY user on this computer and have been since I have had it.
    My photos will sync through iPhoto but iTunes is no longer recognizing my iPhone's name or the device. I am not sure what caused this, but any help would be awesome.
    Since the new update I changed the name of my iphone but I do not see why that would be an issue.

    1. You are thread-jacking. Kangdequan has an open question and adding unrelated questions to that, will not help him at all. Kangdequan, please see below.
    2. There have been countless articles in the last few years explaining why some countries have iTunes music stores and others not. The main reason is something called copyright.
    3. There is an Apple app store in the Philippines.
    4. There are many other sources of music.
    Kandequan. It may be that something has become corrupted, but I also see a problem in that the iPhone is only supposed to sync with one computer. Trying to sync with a second one will not work.
    There are a number of things you may need to do now, but first decide which computer is to be the one that you sync with: the master, if you will.
    Whichever one you decide on, you need to make sure that all files point to that and there is a process written up by a user "wjosten".
    You may also need to follow the Apple suggestions for making iTunes recognise your device.

  • New board for Software Updates - read this first!

    Dear Nokia Support Discussions members,
    we are happy to introduce this new section for discussing Nokia phone software updates with your PC or over-the-air.
    Please use this board to discuss
    - Nokia Software Updater PC application or over-the-air updates
    - latest software versions for each product
    - any changes you notice over previous software versions
    - making a back-up of your phone data
    - problems you may encounter with the update
    etc.
    First and foremost, Nokia Support Discussions is a meeting place for Nokia product owners. Here you can discuss Nokia products, ask for assistance and help other people by providing solutions. Nokia Moderators are here mainly to give assistance in using the boards and to keep the discussions on track.
    However, these boards are also a feedback channel to Nokia and people from many different Nokia departments actively follow these discussions. Constructive feedback and criticism is valued and always welcome.
    We at Nokia Support Discussions do not have any information about when new products are added to the update service - nor do Nokia contact centers. So you just need to keep checking the service webpage or the boards here. I am sure new products are announced here by our alert members within minutes after they have been added.
    I wish to remind the community that posting any confidential information about Nokia product software versions will be deleted and may result in a permanent ban without warning.
    Below is the introductory letter that we received from the Nokia Software Update Team - please read it for important information about new products and their schedule.
    See you on the boards,
    vandelay & Nokia Support Discussions Team
    The Nokia Software Updater is a Windows application that enables you to update Nokia mobile device software (firmware) over the Internet using your PC. The application can be downloaded from the Nokia UK Product Support Internet pages at
    www.nokia.co.uk/softwareupdate
    The Nokia Software Updater offers the same updates you would receive at a Nokia Service Centre. The added advantage is the convenience, as you can now easily perform the update yourself from any location with an Internet connection, at a time suitable for you. Keep your phone software up-to-date, or fix a potential operation problem you may have by regularly updating your phone firmware.
    In the future, every new S60 product will be compatible with the Nokia Software Updater, but at the moment the application is only available for selected Nokia devices including Nokia 6630, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681, Nokia 6682, Nokia N70 and Nokia N72. During the autumn, the application will be available in different languages on different web pages and many other products will also be available for software updates.
    The Nokia Software Updater has been made to be as customer-friendly as possible. All you need is a PC and the standard sales-pack data cable - no dongles, no adaptors, no fuss. A typical update takes around 30 minutes. Plus, you don’t need to wait for your device to be returned from Nokia Service Centre.
    Regards,
    Nokia Software Update Team

  • Slow and unresponsive after iOS4 update

    While the new features are nice, the slow down is not.
    My 3G now seems slow and unresponsive in all Apps and generally.
    Not very happy with that to be honest, don't see why it should be slower.

    I have had the same problem with my iPhone using the iOS4 update. I reset my iPhone and it was still slow. I also fully turned it off and waited a whole day and turned it on (resulted in a minor improvement to speed). I can't use multi tasking etc because I don't have the 3GS phone. I also had an issue where I couldn't open up iTunes!! I pressed the icon, and the phone froze in the iTunes screen without displaying any albums etc..... then it returned to the home screen. I repeated the process 3 times with the same result. It did eventually open up on the 4th time and played a song. I am not very impressed with the performance of my iPhone after the software update and will give it another week or so to see if Apple release any "fixes" after that I'm going to revert back to the old software.

  • Random calls since iOS4 update

    My phone keeps making random calls since I ran the iOS4 update. It made a call at 4:15 this morning, and it was sitting on the nightstand plugged in to the charger. I was asleep, and nowhere near it to initiate the call. I got a call back, wondering what was wrong that I called so early, and didn't talk when the call was answered.
    Any ideas on what the problem is with random calling on 3GS?

    I've noticed this too, and can't figure out how to get it to stop, though I might have just figured it out.  I think it might be the Mail app, which grabs my Gmail.  In Settings>Notifications Center>Mail, I found that a 'New Mail Sound' was set as a default to be a 'quick vibration'.  I've turned Vibration to 'None'.  I can't be sure this is it yet, but fingers crossed.

  • IOS4 update not recognized on Pioneer vsx 1019 AH Receiver

    Just updated my 3GS Iphone w/IOS4 update. However when I plug the iphone to my pioneer receiver I am now receiving message on the pioneer that states - no device or wrong device. I cannot pull up the playlist, video's from my iphone. Is Apple coming out with a fix on the IOS4? If not, can I revert the the OS on the iphone to the previous version?

    I was told by Pioneer support (must have been reading these forums?) the same fix using the home button and the on/off switch should resolve the issue that I was having with the receiver not playing after a few minutes (the iPod is still playing...). I tried this and it did not resolve the issue. I'm going back to the Pioneer support to see if they have any other resolutions; but if anyone else has figured out a fix, I would appreciate it!

  • I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    Is this the note you are referring to:
    Not sure if this can help you.
    I checked my notes. They are stored here:
    MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
    xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
    If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
    If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
    If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
    Thanks

  • Goods receipt and post goods issue are not updated back from EWM to ECC

    Hi Experts,
    Would anybody able to tell me the setting to be modified / defined to backward flow of information from EWM to ERP i.e. the goods receipt, goods issue are not being updated back in ECC once the goods receipt and  post goods issue are posted in EWM?
    It would be great help if i get the response as early as possible.
    Chakrapani Das

    Hi Chakrapani,
    You might want to try checking the customization on the SCM part following this path:
    SPRO - Extended Warehouse Management - Interfaces - ERP Integration - General Settings
    Pay special attention on the Check of ERP-EWM Configuration transaction.
    After you have checked these you should probably check the outbound queue monitor (tx SMQ1) from EWM to ERP. You can use the SMQ1 - Outbound queue and SMQ2 - Inbound Queue both in ERP and SCM to check the communication betweene these two systems.
    Also you may want to checkt the SLG1 - Analyse application Log in SCM in order to see if any internal bugs exist.
    All the best,

  • My iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this,  I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first.

    my iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this,  I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first. Original problem is that I cannot connect to any wifi system anymore - have tried resetting network settings but did not work.

    Try 1 step at a time and do a backup, if no joy then do the next step:
    1. Switching off your anti-virus and firewall.
    2. Computer iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences... > Devices > delete your backup

  • 11.0.9 is unusable, but after downgrading to 11.0, Acrobat keeps auto-updating back to 11.0.9

    I can't use 11.0.9 because it screws up the HTML > PDF conversion (alignment issues galore). I learned how to downgrade to 11.0 yesterday. This morning, I came into work and it had auto-updated back to 11.0.9. In Preferences > Updater it's set to not download and install updates, so I don't understand why this happened (apart from the fact that all updates on our machines require admin logins, which certainly didn't happen in the middle of the night!)
    I have the Creative Cloud, and it was running, but still, such an update shouldn't have happened without the admin login. We've turned off the CC launching at boot, but I do need to run it occasionally to update other apps, but I NEVER want Acrobat to update until they come out with a usable product again.
    Any help out there?
    TIA,
    Kirby

    Hi KRKnight,
    The latest version of Acrobat is v 11.0.10. Please check if you still face such conversion issues with Acrobat.
    Acrobat’s PDF export to HTML is targeted to facilitate reuse of exported HTML and retaining the exact layout is a secondary aspect. The export engine therefore focuses on accurately generating text content with minimum HTML tags that is well suited for text re-flow.
    If the base version 11.0 works correctly for you then you can continue using it but it's always recommended to update to the latest version as most of the reported bugs and security vulnerabilities are fixed in the latest version.
    Disabling the Adobe Acrobat XI update notifications is actually pretty easy. There’s a registry setting in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE that will allow you to completely disable both update notifications and the update functionality. The full path of the key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\11.0\FeatureLockDown
    The registry entry is named bUpdater and is a DWORD value. Setting the value to 0 disables updates. (Note: This DWORD value does not exist by default and either has to be created manually or by some other automated method like Group Policy.)
