Iphone can't backup through itunes

I've bought iPhone 6 Plus and wanna backup my iPhone 4S through iTunes.
My iPhone 4S didn't backup for a long time.
However, when the iPhone 4S connect to the iTunes, it only showed the Welcome page and i can't backup the iPhone as normal.
Anyone know the situation and can help me to fix it?

The music should eb on your computer, as that is where it came from in the first place.

How can i get into my iphone without activating it through itunes id

How can I get into my iPhone without activating it through itunes id

If the iPhone has Find My iPhone activation lock enabled then you will not be able to activate the iPhone without entering the correct Apple ID and password it is locked to. Sorry but there is no way to bypass this.

Try runing iTunes in admin mode. That fixed the issue for me. You can either right click on the shortcut on your desktop and choose to run as an admin each time you launch it or go to the advanced tab under security on the program itself and click the run as admin every time.

I cannot get apps to appear in my library menu so i can update them through iTunes. Happened since update to 11.0.2.Have tried all the suggested fixes such as making the sidebar appear etc New update is 'nasty'

As stated no matter how hard i try i CANNOT get apps to appear in my sidebar library menu so i can update them through itunes.Has only happened since last update of itunes .Really wish i hadn't updated as i have never had an issue b4.Spent most of day on fone to apple yesterday as the update created an issue that meant i could not sync at all.Anyway thanks to 'james' in arizona we sorted the first piece of trouble the update created .(sortof).
Not sure why it has to be messed with.Well i spose it is progress!!!
I've looked at lots of posts re this and tried all the suggestions but just cannot get the magic 'apps' category to appear in my sidebar in itunes???
One suggestion was that the apps if clicked on would have an 'update ' button but all i can do is delete them
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
(running osx 10.7.5 on MBP -slightly tricky cos i also run windows in a 'bootcamped' partition.Mind u itunes etc is in mac partition and has been working fine for the last 10 years!!!!!!!!!)

I'm going to assume that you use only one Apple ID so the two things that I can think of are to quite all processes and restart all devices and then try to sync those apps again. Quit iTunes, restart your computer and the iPad and then try to sync the apps again.
The other thing would be to try to reset your iTunes account by signing in and out of the account on the iPad. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account and try again.

Can I backup my iTune music library to an external drive and install on a new computer?

Can I backup my iTune library to an external drive and reinstall on a new computer? To use disks I need 29 to do this.

Hi Niel. Can you be move specific for those of us not tech savy? 1 - Can you provide steps to back up the library? 2 - How do you organize the library? 3 - When you move the entire iTunes folder, does it include iTunes paid for music along with downloaded music from CDs? Thanks

You're out of space. Do you sync music to your phone? If so, try syncing it over in 128kb which will save a lot of room. Option is right in front of you in iTunes when you plug phone in.

How many devices can sync simultaneously through iTunes?

I am looking to see how many devices can sync simultaneously through iTunes. I know that you can only restore one device at a time, but you can sync content to two devices at the same time. Is there a limit to how many devices can sync simultaneously? Thank you for your help!

Thanks. I wasn't aware that you could have multiple iOS devices connected via WiFi at once. That didn't seem to work the last time I knew of anybody trying it, but obviously it was their setup, not a general limitation.
Regards.

I can't find my backup through itunes

hi I work mainly on a PC. I back up periodically my iphone on my computer. I know where to find my backups. Recently my phone crashed and needed restoring, I go to choose my backup and the one I want is not there. I know where to find the backups on my computer went into the file and I see the backup I want but when I go to choose it through itunes it is not showing up. Help....

There is only ever one backup saved by iTunes and whenever you do another backup the old one is overwritten
Except for iOS backups created at restore points. These backups are time/date stamped & are not overwritten. iCloud, if enough space is available, will keep three iOS backups.

Can i watch a movie purchased on my iphone on my pc through itunes?

Im curious if i purchase a movie on my iphone 4s through itunes, can i then watch that movie on my pc on itunes?

You can copy it from the iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) and should then be able to watch it on your computer's iTunes

Is there a way to recover iCal data from computer or iPhone backup through iTunes?

I synched my iPad with my computer and my ALL of my iCal information disappeared from my computer. I tried put my calendar information back on my computer from my iPhone, but instead the reverse happened, and all of my calendar information disappeared from my iPhone, too.
I am using an older MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo), running Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.4, an iPhone 4, iPad 1, and iPod Touch, all using iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). I regularly use iCal on my iPhone and on my computer, but not on the iPad and iPod Touch.
I do not use iCloud because my personal calendar and contact information was appearing on other family member's iPhones. (We share an iTunes library in under my Apple ID, and I did not want to create a different Apple ID for iCloud yet.).
Is there a way to recover my iCal info on my computer? Or alternatively, could I recover it on my iPhone from my iTunes backups (my iTunes backups are encrypted)?
Of course, I learned my lesson, and if I recover my data, I will back up my calendar daily, but for now, valuable information is lost, and I would like to recover it if at all possible.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You'll have to confirm with the developer of Keeper whether the data is stored as part of the iPhone backup or not. If it is, then restoring the iPhone from your latest back should restore the data to Keeper. My guess, though, is that since the free version of Keeper won't allow you to create a backup, the data is not part of the iTunes backup and hence won't be restored.
Regards.

IPhone won't backup in iTunes (Apple Support says it's Windows related and won't help)

My iTunes freezes constantly and mine and my husbands iPhone's have stopped backing up in iTunes. I get an error when it does go through the process that says "iTunes could not back up the iPhone " 's iPhone" because the backup could not be saved on the computer". Two updates ago, to iTunes and Safari, is when this started happening. Apple support had me do a few things to see if it was iTunes/Safari itself but none worked so they finally told me to get support for Windows. Some of the things I did was Reboot, reset the iphones, create a new windows user account on the computer, uninstall and reinstall all Apple products on the computer. I tried the Windows/Toshiba forums and they seem to believe that it is indeed an issue with Apple's software and not with my computer since it was working fine until an update was done to iTunes/Safari/iPhone.

Nobody here can help you as we are not Apple. We are users like you. If Apple support told you that it is a hardware problem, then take it in to an Apple store or authorized service provider.

IPhone music not accessible through iTunes

My phone is recognized on iTunes as a device, but all of the sudden there are no music tabs or playlist tabs--the main device tab is the only thing I can click on. And I can't manage my music through iTunes anymore. I just updated my iTunes and my iPhone software is up to date, but it did not fix the problem. Any clues?

Thanks for your response. I have turned on iTunes Match in the Settings>Music. I cannot find Setting>iTunes & App Stores. I do see Settings>Store and within that setting Automatic Downloads Music and Apps which I have turned on. I don't see anywhere else that iTunes Match is mentioned except Settings>Music. Am I mising something?
