My iPhone 4S will not do a back-up because it is over it's capacity due to an excessive amount of "other" data.  However I actually have very little other data.  How can I correct this.  As it is now I can't even take a picture!  Thanks!

Create a manual backup in iTunes, then restore it, restoring to your iTunes backup at the end.  This will usually correct this.  If it doesn't, then the problem is contained in the backup and you'll have to save as much of your data as you can, then restore it as new without using your backupo.

  • My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • ITunes shows 46 app updates.  When I try to update it says all apps are up to date.  How can I correct this?

    iTunes shows 46 app updates.  When I try to update it says all apps are up to date.  How can I correct this?

    Any chance the apps were purchased through another iTunes Store account? That's usually the cause of the symptoms you describe. Get Info on your apps and see if perhaps some were indeed purchased using a different account. If so, just sign into the iTunes Store using that account and you should then be able to update.

  • Ipod touch genre duplicates itself in my music list. So both genres have the same list of songs.. how can i correct this?

    My ipod touch music genre has duplicated itself, with both list having the same sets of songs. this is very annoying as i have multiple genres that i listen to. how can i fix this

    Now, is it synced via wireless or USB?
    When I upgraded my 4 to iOS 7, I had that very problem. The phone said all my music was on it, but when I tapped on a song, it would show the icon as though it was playing and after a couple if seconds, it would skip to the next song.
    Here's what I did: Reconnect and do another sync. Or, back-up your phone, do a restore and then trying syncing your files again.
    I hope this helps

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • HT1766 Iphone 5 will not back up. Getting error message and I have deleted the older backups. How do I resolve this problem?

    Iphone 5 will not back up to iTunes. I have never had this issue before but it has been consistent for the last two months. I have read a few discussion boards and restarted and deleted older backups to no success. Please help! I also tried backing up the phone to my other computer and it is still stating an error occurred.

    Its reading iTunes could not back up this iPhone because an error occurred.

  • Iphone 4 will not back up on windows 7?

    My iphone 4 will not back up to my Windows 7 laptop. It either hangs up infinitely or says it cannot write to the disk. This happened on the previous version of itunes, and after deleting and reinstalling itunes it finally starting working again. After loading the most recent v of itunes it started again.  I have reinstalled itunes several times with no change.
    I am running it as an administrator and allowing it to write to the folder. I cannot update from the last ios 4.x version because it never gets past the backup step.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    * Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    * Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    * Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see them. Navigate to that backup folder & delete the entire contents. Try again after doing so.

  • My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer?

    My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer? I have enough space on my hard drive, I have the new version of itunes and iphone software, and have tried restarting my computer several times. I ran apple diagnostics which found no issues! I'm not sure how to resolve this issue, please help me.

    I kept getting this last week. Really annoying. I found this solution:
    Remove (delete) ALL photos and videos from your iphone. Reboot it. Connect to your pc again.
    This worked for me, however I've since taken some more pics and it doesn't sync again, so I'm not sure what permanent solution there is, although I've read lots of technical ones by googling it.

  • HT4489 My iphone 4s will not back up my contact list to the icloud.  Not sure why!!  any ideas?

    My Iphone 4s will not back up my contract list to the icloud.  Not sure why?  Any ideas.  I have tried everything!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you mean sync, not backup.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

    Hi,
    Thanks.
    I have tried signing out and in, still does not work.
    Still just get the previously mentioned "messages".
    I wanted to restore, but then you have to turn off "find my ipad/iphone" but this is not allowed, as I cannot connect to the itunes/icloud or app store. The units work with current apps. EG; email etc, and with apps that do not require current updates.
    Thanks

    Sometimes there's a hiccup in the router and resetting the router like diavonex staes will solve the problem.
    Sometimes though, the website you are trying to visit has an internal problem with its server. In that case you can only wait until they fox it.
    If other websites load properly and only one is having a problem then most likely the problem lies in the web server of the site you are trying to visit.

  • HT4623 iPhone 4 will not back up?

    My iPhone 4 will not back up? I keep getting an error message saying back up session failed. I have tried deactivating the firewall, i have tried changing the time zone on my computer. I have uninstalled and re installed itunes. What do i do now????

    Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer.  As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum.  Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
    Thanks, and best of luck to you.
