Is IPad2 from another major carrier compatible with VZW IPHONE
Or in other words, will one account Itune allow me to synch device from a different carrier. Like Ipad2 from Verizon and Iphone from AT&T. I have a feeling that the answer is NOT but I'll throw in the question anyway, thanks
Yes, iTunes will allow you to sync multiple devices regardless of carrier. The carrier is there to provide you data service, nothing else. Your music, apps, and other data will sync just fine.

Hi
I'm trying to restore from backup of IPhone 4 onto New IPhone 5 in iTunes but getting message:
"ITunes could not restore the iPhone "iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
I've repeated the backup of my old phone but I'm still getting the same message.
Any ideas please?
GerI just spent 3 hrs with AT&T tech support. No visual voicmail! i wiped phone 3 times, reset. everything no visual voicemail.
I can access it through dialing holding down 1 then enter password, bu t Visual voicemail is DEAD. ATT says apple has major bug and fix won't be out until OCT 5th.
If you Google it it lights up like a cristmas tree! Verizon is also inodated.
1. Fake Map app usless Apple is fixing it though
2. Batt is a joke, last like 2 hrs
3. No visual voicemail
4. Face time on ATT no longer works on cellular data per apple design.
We need Steve Jobs!! he would have fired somebody for all these mistakes.
Nopw i am locked into crashing my car because i have to type in numbers to here voicemails.
Come on Apple send us a rebate or a Iphone 5 that meets the specs stated on the box and advertisments.!!
We love Apple and dedicated, but this one is a joke.
Not to mention you jacked us all being locked into 2 year plans with Verizon or ATT.
No face time unless i buy a Bucket of 5 gb over celluar? give me a break Take care of us apple Buy ATT and igve us unlimited plans with facetime and data you got enough money! -
I'm looking for a digital picture frame that is compatible with the iPhone 5 and 4S. I was looking at the Panasonic MW-20 but from what I can see I don't think it is. Any information would be great. Looking to buy a replacement for Christmas. Thanks!
Hi - the new lightning connector on the iPhone 5 has an authentication chip so very few 3rd party manufacturers have come out with compatible devices - so I doubt that you will find a frame that works for both phones - however Apple has come out with 2 apapters - one is a cable and one is a direct 30 pin to lightning device - you would have to check out each frame to see if one of these might work - I looked at the Panasonic and it looks promising but I would check the return policy of anything that you buy in a case it doesn't work.

I tried to restore a backup from a 32 Gig iPhone 4s (That seemed successful) to a 32 Gig iphone 5C and get the message "backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone that is being restored" Can anyone assist?
I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on. If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.

I want to restore the iPhone from a backup, but can not as much as they wrote iTunes
"iTunes could not restore the iPhone, because backup copy is corrupted or is not compatible with restorable iPhone."Bummer. Sounds like the backup is corrupt...
Do you have a question? -
I replaced a faulty iPhone 4S with a new handset today, another iPhone 4S. I was certain to backup my previous iPhone 4S to iTunes on my PC before returning the faulty unit. The new phone was 'set up' at the Apple Store and updated to the current iOS, 7.0.4, as was the faulty unit prior to replacement. Upon connecting the new unit to iTunes to restore to the most recent restore point from earlier in the day, the following message was shown:
"iTunes could not restore iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored."
I've browsed other forums and have contacted the Apple Store Genius Bar, and will hear from the Lead Genius tomorrow. In the meantime, I am hoping someone may have information for me on what I may need to do in order to restore my phone as I'd anticipated doing by now. My photos, email and text messages are what is affected and have not repopulated. My music is accessable via iCloud without a problem and my contacts were kept via SIM. I regularly copy my Camera Roll from my iPhone to my computer, and most of my photos are still viewable via Apple TV/My Photo Stream however only through the photos last saved. The 348 recent photos that were on my faulty unit, and viewable in My Photo Stream were presumedly safe, but have disappeared.
I have yet to shut down or restart my computer, nor have I exited out of iTunes, for the simple reason that I'd anticipated returning home with the new handset and plug it into my computer to restore right away. I did, but that's as far as I've gotten.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!Had the exact same problem whilst upgrading my iphone 4 to ios5. Lost all my data.
Backed up ios 4.3 (8F190) iphone4. Upgraded to ios 5.1 (9B176), and then tried to restore.
No joy, repeated the restore attempts countless times - lost all my data
Tried again with a simulated test.
Created a new itunes account on a new PC (64-bit windows 7), latest itunes(10.6.1.7- 64 bit).
As my data is toast, I'm using the ios 5.1 phone to try to see if it was me or an apple bug, or something elsewhich caused this to happen.
After quite a few more hours at it, it looks like a bug in iTunes / ios. I would be very happy to be wrong, though.
Tried repeatedly restoring an ios 4.3 backup to 5.1 - no joy.
Happy to try again - it does restore partially (got the call register transferred, but no SMS'es or anything else).
Any ideas? -
I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1. I selected 'back up' from the phone in the device menu and iTunes confirmed that the phone had been backed up. I then installed iOS 5.1.1 which wiped everything on the phone & now I am getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
I have tried restoring factory settings but iTunes simply will not restore from back up & I'm not sure what else to do!

IOS 7.1.2 apps will not install on the iPhone - error message "not compatible with this iPhone"???
I am using a 4s with ios 7.1.2 and recently any app I am trying to use or load will not work and I get error message the app is not compatible with my iPhone; however, the requirements in every case indicate they are compatible with 4s and ios 6 and greater. Honestly, seems like I have one problem after the other with the iPhone
Thanks, unfortunately that is another problem that is occurring, when I go to Update Software I get the message that software is up to date, with version being 7.1.2, I have tried to update through itunes, wifi, etc, and it indicates the software is up to date.

I inadvertently deleted my iPhone backup on my MacBook Pro. I restored iPhone to factory settings and then synced remotely with iCloud. However the error message repeatedly states:
iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again.
Any ideas as to how this can be resolved please. Thank you very much.My wife's iPhone 5 would not backup, after upgrading to iOS 8. The "genius" at the Apple store succeeded in DELETING, the only recent backup of her phone so
recovery became more critical.
I followed all the procedures for troubleshooting it, but still it would try to backup and then stop due to an error. We particularly wanted to preserve some game data/history/progress that she'd been working on for years. This game (Dream Fish) would no longer open after the iOS 8 upgrade ... and the phone would not successfully backup, and so we had no confidence that it would restore from an older backup either. I googled for solution and found Phoneview and iFunBox. These apps allow you to see & access data files in the iPhone. Phoneview was too fragile and crashed when copying a file any size.
I found "iFunBox". iFunBox was excellent. I used iFunBox to recover her game data. It allows you to make a copy of data files that reside on the iPhone... and store them as a manual backup on the Mac.
And in the process I found 2 games that caused iFunBox to crash. The 2 games in question were not important enough to try to keep, so I deleted them from the iPhone.
So then, I had a manual backup of the important iPhone data, and had eliminated two game files that apparently had a conflict with iOS 8.
My next Backup attempt was successful. The iPhone with iOS 8 would now backup to both the Mac and to the Cloud.
Next I deleted Dream Fish from the iPhone and downloaded a fresh version from the Cloud. The new Dream Fish with no history opened in iOS 8.
Then I used iFunBox to copy my wife's Dream Fish data history from the Mac back into the new game.
Once the transfer was complete, Dream Fish would now OPEN and all of her progress was there and working like normal.
Hope this helps. -
Error message when attempting to backup up iPhone4S to Mac says "iTunes could not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again." But how do I delete the backup? Can't find answer to that anywhere.
We had this problem after upgrading to iOS 8. The iPhone 5 would not backup either to the cloud or to the computer. Backup always ended with an error message.
Long story short, with the help of iFunBox ( which I used to make manual backups of some important iPhone data files ), I discovered two games that
would crash iFunBox. They were not important games for us, so I didn't try to isolate the offending data files. And I deleted the two games from the iPhone.
Apparently these two games conflicted with iOS 8 just as they did with iFunBox. The next backup without those games was then successful.
I backed up to both the Mac and the cloud.
Hope this helps. -
I am using iphone 3GS, after syncing for few times and got the errors. I deleted the backup from Edit-> Preferences-> Devices. Then I synced again, there was an error message: itunes could not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone. What can I do? I have no backup anymore on ituens.
babesharon
I closed iTunes & manually deleted the file which was still stored locally even though it didn't display in Preferences. I have vista so I went to
C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync and deleted everything in the Backup folder (though I left the folder as is). If you have a different OS search the apple website for the backup location.
I reopened iTunes & Synced with out a problem. I also got the update to install.
Good luck. -
i've got a vodsaphone payg sim: i've been given an iphone 3g, and when i connected it to my mac and itunes, a message told me that the sim was :not compatible" with the iphone. is this because, as i've been told, my card is an old style sim and i need the newer style that works In smart phones? if so, how do i go about getting the right card.
Contact your carrier & get a new sim...they should give you one for free.

Can't backup my iPhone 5 due to backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone
Is been quite some time that my iPhone 5 couldn't backup when i try to sync things into my phone from my computer. But iTunes can't backup and it says is corrupted or not compatible with the iPhone. They ask me to delete the backup and try again but i tried few times and is the same result.
Hi there ChienWei,
I see that your iPhone is unable to back up into your PC, and this is preventing you from being able to sync your iPhone. I have an article here for you that will help you address this issue and provide some troubleshooting steps:
