My iPhone don't backup automatically

All options are on but why my iPhone doesn't upload picture to iCloud?

You could always restore the backup again to the iPhone 5, assuming you mean that after deleting the contacts, you didn't perform another backup.
Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content & Settings
This will erase the phone and you will then go through the activation process again as you did when it was new, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Make sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger.

IPhone will not backup automatically

My phone keeps alerting me that my phone needs to be backed up. I get a message saying that backup happens when the phone is locked, plugged in, and connected to wifi. My iPhone meets all 3 criteria.
Any suggestions?
I'm using an iPhone 4S running iOS7.
Thanks.

If you haven't added anything to the iPhone that would be included in an iCloud backup, then the device won't perform an iCloud backup. Subsequent iCloud backups are more like 'updates' to the existing iCloud backup. If there's nothing new to 'update', then it won't backup. That would be a waste of energy and connectivity.

Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. You may need to connect the device to the charger before you attempt the reset.

Had to restore iphone from a backup that was done 1 week ago. any way to get back the texts, call logs, etc. that happened within the last week?

this morning, i had to restore iphone from a backup that was done 1 week ago. is there any way to get back the texts, call logs, etc that happened within the last week?

No

I can't access my iPhone backup(automatic encryption) so will have to set up phone as new. Haven't been able to work out what password A has allocated so will all future backups be also encrypted unless Apple finds a way around this?

I can't access my iPhone backup (automatic encryption by iTunes, not through choice!) so am resigned to setting my iPhone 4 up as new phone, because I can't determine which of my passwords has been allocated. Has anyone else gone down this path and will all future backups also be encrypted unless Apple works out a way around this or I can work out my password?

You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

HT1414 Help, I updated my iPhone 4 from ios 4.3.5 to 5.1 and during the process things got hung up. I had to do a restore. I did the restore OK but now I can not get the SYNC to bring my itunes and aps back to my iphone. I had done a backup just befor

3rd step doesn't do anything and ends with no syncing happening. I can go to the app store and manually install an app but would like to be able to

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

restore your device from a previous backup.

My iPhone Won't Sync with computer. It used to; but it doesn't now. I don't have iCloud. When I try to sync I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone "owner's name appears here iPhone" because the backup could not be saved on compute

Why won't my iPhone sync with my computer? When I hook the phone up to iTunes I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer. This never happened before.

Hey Janice Lucoff,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:

My iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to my home wifi

My wifes iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to our home wifi, she has to log in each time (she has ios 6.1.4). Mine, however will connect automatically with no issues (we have same phone and ios). Here is what I have done so far to fix the issue and none have worked:
* I have reboted (hold home button and sleep/wake button)
* I have reset the network connections
* I have turned "ask to join" on, connected to the network, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have manually connected to the network through the manual option, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have erased all content and data and resored the backup from iTunes
* I have restored iPhone from iTunes and restored the backup from iTunes
My phone does not list a "forget this network" as an option on the wifi connection when I pull it up, so this is not an option. So, what else is there to fix the issue?

Hi there Huskerscott!
I have some information here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
Which is taken from this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

It also may be helpful to follow these settings, which are optimal for use with iOS and OS X devices:

Hello. My Iphone start update iOS automatically. I want to have iOS ver. 6.1.3. How I can abort iOS 7.0.2 updating?

Hello. My Iphone start update iOS automatically. I want to have iOS ver. 6.1.3. How I can abort iOS 7.0.2 updating?

I had this issue and following the steps below fixed it:
1- backup your iphone on itunes
2- perform factory reset (it will wipe out the iOS7 from your iphone, if already downloaded)
3- restore iphone data using itunes (this won't restore the iOS 7 download data that was downloaded to the device)
4- disable wifi right after restored (to prevent auto download again of iOS7)
5- fill up your iphone with photos or music, leave less than 3GB free.
By filling up storage you can prevent Apple from auto downloading iOS 7 to your device. The iOS 7 download requires 3.1GB of data and if there is less than that it won't allow the download to happen.
The instructions above won't remove ios7 if the upgrade has been installed and currently running on your device. It removes the ios7 upgrade data that has downloaded to your device (and taking up storage space) that is waiting for you to press the "Install Now" button. Don't press that button...

Recover iPhone Data without Backup

I recently was forced to restore my iPhone using a backup from about a month ago. I didn't realize that several contacts had since been added and not synced, so they don't exist on the backup I used. Is there anyway to recover these contacts from the phone itself?

If the most recent backup is from about a month ago, this indicates that was the last time your iPhone was synced with iTunes since your iPhone's backup is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes for about a month, any new contacts added to your iPhone since the last sync have not been synced with the supported application on your computer and are not included with your iPhone's backup, so there is no way to recover these contacts.
I usually don't go more than a week without syncing my iPhone with iTunes, and I also have a MobileMe account which provides for syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with my iPhone. After a new contact is entered on my iPhone, it is synced with the "cloud", which in turn is synced automatically with the Address Book on my Mac, and vice-versa.

My iPhone 4 getting off automatically while battery 60% or more and turn on when i plug in please advice it is battery problem or hardware i use this mobile for 2 years and 3 month.

Thanking you.

1. you may have to take it in to Apple and get an out of warranty iphone for $199.
2. you can get your information from a backup of your phone. you do have a backup of your phone right either in iTunes or icloud. If you don't then your answer will be no.

HT1766 I want to restore my iPhone to the backup I did just before upgrading to iOS6. Today's sync/backup erased most of my contacts and almost all of my phone numbers within the remaining contacts. No iCloud backup because of other issues still to resol

I want to restore my iPhone to the backup that I did just before upgrading to iOS6. When I try to pull up old backups, I only see one from this morning and an old one from May 2012 when I still had my iPhone 3GS. I have not been using iCloud since it was set up improperly when I first switched to the 4S, the contacts weren't being synced AT ALL. visited the genius bar, they said I need a whole other appointment to visit them and solve that, I haven't had a chance to do that yet. Thus, I am backing up to iTunes.
This morning's sync/backup resulted in me losing most of my contacts, and for the contacts that remain, 99% of the phone numbers are gone. I can recover my calendar entries from this past week, but I don't know how I can recover all of them from my May 2012 backup.
Since I had a backup just last week, I'd like to just go back to it. But how? Or, is there another way to get my contacts restored? And why did they disappear? And what else may be gone that I just don't know about yet?

ITunes could not restore the iPhone "___'s iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible

Ok so bear with me here, it is somewhat of a long story.
I had been using an iPhone 4 for a while, with an old iTunes account that has all my stuff from over the years on it, on my computer. A week ago, I dropped by iPhone 4 in the sink and it got covered with water, despite quickly pulling it out, putting it in rice under a lamp, the phone was shot, and I was without a phone. My Dad, who is on the same AT&T plan with me, was using an iPhone 3. He was available for an upgrade, so he got a new iPhone, and gave me the iPhone 3. Now i'm not an apple master or anything but I have a good idea of what I am doing, normally, I backup my phone to my computer every few months. Basically everytime I plug it in to my computer which isn't very often because I just charge it with the wall charger. So got my SIM card with the same phone number and all, and obviously, while still being my number, it had my dads apps, messages, contacts and photos on it. So I bring it home, and plug it into my computer, I cancel the intial sync, and right click on the phone on the left side of iTunes and hit "restore from backup" I look through the list of backups, and the most recent one I see is from Dec 11, 2011. Which is surprsing because i'm pretty sure I had backed up since then, but I say whatever i'll still get contacts apps and most pictures back etc. So I hit it, and go through with it, and it tells me there was a more recent date of backing up, relieved, I click on that and continue, the normal bar comes up it says something like estimated time 30 minutes, so I walk away, come back 5 minutes later, and I get an error message saying, "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "____'s iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or is not compatible with the iPhone." Confused, I go back and try again, however this time I click on "old backup (the dec 11th one rather than the newer one) and the same thing happens after a few minutes. I go back a third time, and select a time from August of 2011. And I hit restore, and it goes through. However, this happened to be a backup I made right when I got my new iPhone 4, and therefore I basically restored my phone, to having nothing. Thats where I sit right now, with none of my contacts or pictures. I'm not sure if I backed up to iCloud or not and i'm not sure how to retrieve that. Some extra things: When I try to sync my iTunes library and apps onto the new iphone 3, I need to greatly reduce the number of songs and apps beacuse this iPhone is only an 8gb while the old one was 16, (I don't think that is the reason I am getting the error message though because when I sync it clearly says "Your iPhone does not have enough space). Also, this is obviously an iPhone 3, not an iPhone 4, updated with the most recent iTunes software, which, I believe is 5.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have over 1,400 pictures saved on my old phone (very important things to me) and a contact list of over 300 including important friends, coaches, teachers and workers.
Thank you very much, if it doesn't say my email on here try me at [email protected]
Thanks again
-Drew
Edit: The current phone is an iPhone 3G, not a 3Gs.

ashleyfrg2,
you will need to restore your phone as a new device and NOT from backup. If you've been using your phone as recommended, you should have minimal data loss: Photos should have been imported to your computer right after taking them; contacts should be safe in a cloud service or on your computer. You CANNOT downgrade to 4.3.3.

IPhone 4 no longer automatically launches iTunes

My iPhone 4 no longer automatically launches iTunes. In iTunes, the box is checked that says "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected." I've checked and unchecked that box, restarted the computer, etc., but nothing I've done has fixed the problem. I've seen the solutions for the same problem in Windows, but not for a Mac. How can I fix this?

Hi,
I have the same problem and found the same solution (i.e. unchecking then "open iTunes when iPhone is connected", then rechecking it, re-installing iTunes Helper).
The only problem is that this keeps happening over and over, and while I can certainly manage opening iTunes manually whenever I connect my phone, it bothers me that something is not working and I cannot figure out how to fix it.
I noticed that when iTunes does not open automatically, you will see that iTunes Helper is not available in the System Preferences -> Users -> Login Items. The funny thing is that I am not even able to find it on my computer at all - until I re-install it through iTunes that is...
Does anybody have an answer for this?
Thanks,
Jan

I recently had to purchase a new iPhone 4S. I backed up my old 4s to my iMac and when I went to restore, I got this message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".

I recently had to purchase a new iPhone 4S. I backed up my old 4s to my iMac and when I went to restore, I got this message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored". I just purchased the iPhone 4S today so I know it's not the phone. How can I get my information back?

If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
Good luck in retrieving that information.
