Is it ok to delete old iphone backups

i have the latest backup for my phone and my wife's phone in itunes, prefs, devices. i also see one each from when we got our new phones on jan 5. is it okay to delete the jan 5 backup files now that i have a newer backup? is there a good reason to keep them? also, in finder, itunes, i have previous itunes libraries from 2009 to 2011, do i need these? what will happen if i delete them? thanks.

The manual iTunes backup process for my iPhone and iPad has stored multiple manual backups in my laptop's MobileSync backup folder. I thought iTunes only stored the most recent one backup. There are multiple files for each backup date and multiple backups going back for months. The iPhone backup folder has over 1.2GB of files in it. The iPad folder has .5GB of files in it. I have two questions:
1.     Why is iTunes creating more than ONE backup for my iPhone?
2.     Is it  OK to delete the ALL of the older backup files (prior to the most recent backup date)?

  • Two questions: getting first iPhone & deleting old iPhone backups?

    Here's the deal.
    My neighbor has 'paid' for his old iPhone 4 through AT&T and is getting a new one. He's going to give me his old one. It will be my first smartphone (and, naturally, my first iPhone). I've backed it up for him using my computer before and there are a bunch of his apps in iTunes which I would like to remove. So my first question is, "how do I get rid of that backup"?
    I've downloaded the iPhone 4 manual with iOS 4.x (which he has running) and I think I know how to go about updating and resetting the phone. After I get it updated to iOS 6.x, I'll be going to the AT&T store and finding a good (cheap!) plan that fits my lifestyle.
    Any help or suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Clinton

    On the phone, follow the directions here:

    Then set things up using YOUR Apple ID. Any old backups, delete: iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Also delete any & all content, in your library, obtained with his ID.

  • Can't Delete old iPhone Backup off of iCloud backup storage

    After upgrading my iPhone 4S to a iPhone 5S, I restored the 5S using the recent backup of old 4S.  Now I am getting "out of cloud storage space" messages on my new 5S phone.  I went into iCloud backup storage to delete the 4S backup, but, it says it is in use and cannot be deleted at this time. I have attempted to turn off iCloud backup on the old 4S phone, shutting it off, turning off iCloud backup, but, get the same failed message when attempting to delete the old backup.
    What is the trick to removing this without wiping the old 4S, because I want to be sure there is nothing left on the phone, before I completely wipe it...and I can't tolerate the "No more space in cloud storage" message that keeps popping up on the 5S.
    Thank you,
    --k

    That should clear up on it's own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Wait a few days and try deleting the old backup again.  If you want to back up your phone in the meantime, manually back it up to your computer using iTunes (click Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings).

  • Apple deleted old iPhone backup :(

    Hello!
    I'm paying for iCloud and had an old iPhone4S backup at the cloud. Today, I decided to get back for iPhone, only to found that Apple deletes iPhone backups older than 6 months and my backup was near 9 months old.
    I went very angry, because of some unique data I had with this backup.
    Is there any way to restore it? Any chance for Apple support help?
    Thanks for any help.

    Unfortunately, I doubt it.  You would have to contact iCloud support to find out for sure.
    I assume that Apple does this because there are some 340 million iCloud accounts and a number of them are abandoned as people sell or stop using old devices, or create new accounts to use.  At some point they have to clear out the old accounts to free up server space.

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

  • How do I delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone.  Will I lose any pictures?  Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up.  Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.

    Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud.  It doesn't do anything to the data currently in your account or on your devices.  To delete it, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of the device that you want to delete the backup for, then tap Delete Backup.
    You can't see anything in an iCloud backup, if that's want you're asking.  You can only restore it to your device.  You can, of course, see your other iCloud data.

  • Where did my old Iphone backup go?

    Dear iPhoners,
    I am lost!
    I wanted to restore an old Iphone backup because I lost my most meaningful text messages. When I right clicked on the device it only showed me a backup from today!
    When I looked in preferences-> devices-> It only showed one; the one I made today!
    Also when I looked via users->appl data-> roaming -> mobileSync... it only showed methe same recent back up.. Now how can this be?
    I am very very sad... and I looked through the internetforums, I tried to use backup extractor, which only showed me some 4 messages from april 2010, so I am still hopefull caus this means the data must be somewhere right?
    But how can I restore my old  backup? I am most certain I NEVER deleted it myself. And when I try to google this strange phenomenon it only gives me information about restoring via backups the way it normally works.
    Help!

    The photos will be in an Event.  Peruse in the Event mode to see if you can find the Event.
    You know the file names of the photos you imported so search by file name to see if the photos can be found in iPhoto:
    Can you find them?  If so you can Control (right) - click  on a photo and have it show you the Event. 

  • My old iphone backup date of 1/15/12 on itunes seems out of date.  I just synced it before I am going to initiate my new iphone 5 from the Mac that I just synced with.  Will it pull the recently synced info or the 1/15/12 data?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
    This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

  • Maverick TimeMachine deletes old weekly backups with no reason

    Hi,
    I use 10.9.4 and I found that TimeMachine deletes old weekly backups so that there are now 14-days backups.
    I see no reason.
    To make it clearer: Old backups from 2014-04-18, 2014-05-02, 2014-05-23, 2014-06-13 and 2014-06-27 were deleted.

    Any ideas?

    I was about to try this, but the problem was solved - by updating to ML DP3. Time Machine was able to report more specifically a UUID mismatch - which was strange as there had been no hardware changes:
    Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: MacBook Air
    Deep event scan at path:/ reason:must scan subdirs|new event db|
    Finished scan
    Found 360330 files (16.14 GB) needing backup
    21.25 GB required (including padding), 17.99 GB available
    Deleted backup /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/MacBook Air/2012-05-06-132701.inProgress/36723EA8-68F9-4519-A71B-426EEEE06222 containing 896.2 MB; 18.88 GB now available, 21.25 GB required

    Removed 2 expired backups so far, more space is needed - deleting oldest backups to make room

    Deleted 3 backups containing 11.64 GB total; 29.63 GB now available, 21.25 GB required
    Backup date range was shortened: oldest backup is now 15 Oct 2011
    Copied 2.7 MB of 16.14 GB, 106708 of 360330 items
    Copied 5.6 GB of 16.14 GB, 360849 of 360849 items
    Bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed.
    Copied 394370 files (8.46 GB) from volume
    Upshot is that after many hours it's back, and the sparseimage has been verified.
    If it's of any use to anyone finding this, I would say that the solution seems to have been a Mac OS reinstall - which is counter-intuitive, but if all else fails, give it a go!

  • When I try to delete old 4s backup from iCloud (I have a 5s) it tells me it cannot be deleted because in use. How to I fix that to delete it?

    when I try to delete old 4s backup from iCloud (I have a 5s) it tells me it cannot be deleted because in use. How to I fix that to delete it?

    That should clear up on it's own when it times out in 3-5 days.  Wait a few days, then try deleting it again.

    2) Tried syncing Contacts and Calendars bith again... Does not Sync .. shown unsucessful.
    3) tried syncing calendar only.... Works fine..
    4) Theres no conflict resolution poping up.
    5) I have various clanders being shown on my Q -10.
    I have disabled 'Home' calendar and Kept "BBLink' calendar ON (abled)   as I was getting double entries after syncing with mycomputer.
    Would this create any  issues with the entiries/ changes that I make either on the Computer or my BB?
