Iphone backup corrupt!!How do i fix this???

My iPhone 4 would not back up when i plugged it in to my itunes today because it said it was corrupt or not compatible for my iphone. It says to delete the backup but i dont want my phone to lose all of its contents. Anybody know whats wrong??

If you backup regularly, you could simply revert to the next most recent backup. If you look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices, you will find all the backups of your phone stored on your system. You can choose anyone of them to restore from from the drop down menu on the restore screen in iTunes.  Good luck.

  • HT1766 Restore backup function says there is not enough space on my iPhone to restore backup. How do I fix this/how do I know how much space I need on my iPhone?

    My family member's iPhone recently erased all of its contact information, with no action taken by my family member. She is trying to use the restore backup function to recover her contacts.
    The restore backup functions says that there is not enough space on my iPhone to restore backup. How do I fix this/how do I know how much space I need to complete this backup?
    We have removed the majority of pictures from her phone, and she has 4.1 GB of memory free.
    Thank you!

    You need at least as much space as you have used on the iPod. Could be as much as 64 GB but is probably much less.
    Find a way to delete what you do not need on the computer. Start by emptying the Recycle Bin.

    Unfortunately, you seem to have misunderstood the idea of purchasing extra storage space in iCloud. The extra space you have purchased it in the cloud, it is not on your phone, to add additional memory to your phone would require a physical alteration.
    iCloud storage is for data and documents syncing, as well as for backing up your iOS devices, you can not store your files there.

  • My Apple TV is not playing my purchased shows but my iphone is.  How do I fix this

    My Apple TV is showing that iTunes is unavailable to play my purchases but my iPhone is able to play them. How do I fix this? 

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My texts are coming up in another iphone- (my daughters)- how can i fix this

    I own both phones- but my daughter gets the text i send and receive from one contact specifically.  How can I fix this? We have a family plan and we have Icloud.

    This may not be the issue if it is only happening with one contact, but something to check:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding. This new feature is described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    You may also want to consider using separate Apple IDs for each family member. This is now more flexible than in the past with new Family Sharing options: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/

  • I did not make a password to encrypt my iPhone backup. How do I resolve this issue of trying to restore from that backup ?

    I don't remember making a password to encrypt my iPhone backup. Does anyone know how I can uncheck the box. Or any other program I can use to backup my iPhone for free instead of iTunes ?
    I have checked in the password utility and it is not stored there.
    ThNKA

    Encrypting an iPhone backup can be required by a profile installed on your phone if using an Exchange account. Read here about how to recover the passcode if you don't know it:

  • HT1766 i had the iphone 4s 16g and backed it up to my laptop prior to purchasing a new iphone 5c 32g i never hooked it up to my computer since i bought it and i just did last night and it made it go back to what my iphone 4s was how do i fix this issue

    help!!! i had an iphone4s and now a iphone 5c i need help restoring the new phone to what it had at last update.... i lost all my pics, any new contacts, texts, notes etc.
    all apps i downloaded new are there, but everything else gone, someone said i need to restore to my icloud? but im not sure how to or what that will do? my phone is a 32g old phone was 16g, but this new iphone 5c is saying not enough memory but there is showing plenty.

    It sounds like you have automatic sync turned on in iTunes. If you didn't back up your new phone, you're stuck with what you've got.
    FIrst turn off auto sync in iTunes before you plug the phone in again: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12320
    Then try to restore from an iCloud backup if you have that turned on: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521

  • IPhone backup corrupt, how do I get all my apps back?

    I used iTunes to upgrade my 3Gs from 4.0 to 4.01 today. As usual, iTunes made a backup first of my iPhone. The backup time was at 4:25pm.
    After the OS upgrade, iTunes attempted to restore my previous backup but then came up with a message like this:
    itunes could not restore the iphone because the backup session failed
    So my iPhone is at version 4.01 and its like a clean install with only default apps and all my settings are gone. Great.
    In iTunes I CAN see all of my apps in there. So I sync'ed my iPhone. First of all, this DELETED the backup I did at 4:25pm and replaced with a backup of my current setup (default apps, no settings). Fantastic. Now all my settings are gone for good. And the sync did NOT move my apps from iTunes onto my phone.
    So how do I get all my apps back onto my phone? They are clearly in iTunes. They all are listed as having me purchased them. Isn't there a way to Sync them to my phone? Sync'ing doesn't do it.
    And on my iPhone if I go into the App store and look at a app I've already purchased, it tries to get my to buy it again, even though I've already paid for it.
    HELP PLEASE. Stupid iTunes is a piece of garbage.

    So how do I get all my apps back onto my phone?
    Select the iPhone in iTunes.
    Click the Apps tab across the top.
    Tick the Apps you want onto the iPhone then right click the iPhone name - Sync device.\
    And on my iPhone if I go into the App store and look at a app I've already purchased, it tries to get my to buy it again, even though I've already paid for it.
    If you have already purchased it, when you click Buy, it will tell you that you have purchased it and ask if you want to download it again for free.
    I suggest you quit using it and save yourself all the aggravation of using garbage.

  • My library may be corrupted, how do i fix this?

    i have a couple of libraries on my external hard drive. i take a lot of pictures, i store and work with my pics on my EHD, so i don't take up too much space on my computer. the most recent library on my EHD i think has become corrupted. i can no longer burn discs of my photos normally.
    i am thinking i could try to make a new library and see if this resolves my problem. does that make sense?
    how do i do make a new library on my external hard drive? i want to keep the libraries on my EHD. can i take the corrupted library and fix it, by creating a new library? i kind of know how to do it working from the internal hard drive to external hard drive. but want to double check with the experts before i do something wrong.
    thanks for any help you can offer!

    Why do you think the Library is corrupted?
    i can no longer burn discs of my photos normally.
    What does “normally” mean?
    If you want to rebuild a Library... Though I think you should find out more before you do...
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards
    TD
