My iPhone 4 recently broke and I did not back it up to iCloud. Is it possible to back it up now even though the phone is broken? I also plan on getting iPhone 5, would my information automatically transfer to the new phone?

I had a few questions regarding iCloud. My iPhone 4 recently broke and i didn't realize that I had to manually activate iCloud in order to back up my files, so therefore the information on the iPhone 4 was not backed up. Is it possible to enable iCloud now and back up the information even though the phone is broken?
Also, I was thinking about replacing the broken iPhone 4 with the 5, would my information automtically be transferred to the 5 as long as I log-in with my apple ID?
I would appreciate all the help I can get!!!
Thanks,
Jae

How can I access iCloud through the internet and not through the phone if thats possible? Now that I think about it, I'm not 100% sure that I didn't back it up.
Thanks

HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

I have the exact same problem. I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts. They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

You have to restore the iPad by syncing to the original computer that you synced to.
This article explains the process.

- If you did not charge the iPod for a couple of hours before you did the reset then charege and reset:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to your computer and if iTunes sees the iPod restore via iTunes.
- Next see if recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I did an automatic update to my daughter's iphone and it did not complete the update from version 6.0 to I believe 8. I waited for hours but the line stopped at 70%. I tried to restore my old settings but now my iphone will not start. When I try to start the
phone, I see the apple and a white line that never moves past 15%.

Hi JG14usa,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you attempted an update on your daughter’s iPhone but the update will not complete. For this type of situation, it may be necessary to place your iPhone into recovery mode and restore. Please use the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.

I changed my rescue ID and want to use my former rescue ID as my new apple ID, but it won't let me as it still says that email is my resuce ID, even though the new rescue ID email has been verified! Help!

My apple ID is associated with an old email I never use. My current email was set as my rescue email, so I could not make that my new Apple ID. I have changed my rescue email to another email address and verified it, but when I now try to update my apple ID it still says I cannot use that email address becuase it's my rescue email address, even though it is not. HELP!

That usually means it's associated with another ID or used somewhere else.
The following article(s) may help you.

Is there a way to get back all my purchased music if my hard drive crashed and I did not back it up on any external hard drive?

My computer crashed a couple of weeks ago and I have just redownloaded iTunes. I was hoping someone would be able to answer the question I have posted and give me instructions as to how to redownload if at all possible the music that I purchased.
Thanks!

Yes. Sign in to the iTunes store, click below Quick Links where it says Purchased and start downloading your previous purchases.
If you have content on an iPod then this is an alternative approach:
Recover media from iPod
See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.

My iphone was recently stolen. I did not back it up to my itunes, but had my itunes account. How do I recover the music I downloaded previously?

I can see all the music that I downloaded in my account, but am unable to restore it to my iphone and itunes. Please help!

You buy one and only one download.
This is why it is very important to make sure that everything is on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

Hey Jatin, Look under the sofa. Any luck? All joking aside, not much to do here, nothing with electronics anyway. You'll have to do the, "Helen Hunt Method!" Go looking for your iPod like it was a lost wallet or set of keys. Good luck, happy hunting! Cheers.

TS1424 When trying to get into apps I keep getting a error message the "cannot verify identity of server" and it's not accepting my Apple ID password. I found something that said I have to accept the new terms and conditions for iCloud but can't get in

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

I'm trying to save a custom patch in Garageband 10.0.2. Even though the new patch is saved and listed, when i re-open GB it's either reverted back to what it was previously or is blank.

Hi,
I'm finding it really frustrating to save a custom patch in Garage Band 10.0.2. I'm assigning new sounds to keys using the 'musical typing keys' and saving the patch. When I re-open Garage Band, the patch name is saved but all the information has reverted back to the original sounds OR it is completly blank. Can anyone help?
R

'musical typing keys'
The musical typing is a legacy instrument from GarageBand '11. You can use it, and drop samples to the keys, but GarageBand 10.0 does not save the patch. If you still have GarageBand '11 installed, create the custom sampler instrument in GarageBand '11 and save it there. It will appear in the library in the "User Channel Strip Section" category.

How can I ensure itunes purchases (music, apps) are paid using credits which show on the account instead of billed to my credit card? Info indicates credit is used first but I just bought a song and it did not seem to be deducted from my credits.

I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

My iPhone 4 recently broke and I did not back it up to iCloud. Is it possible to back it up now even though the phone is broken? I also plan on getting iPhone 5, would my information automatically transfer to the new phone?
