current phone details...
iphone 3 (32GB)
model MC133X/A

Presumably your two stolen iPhones were running the current iOS version - iOS 7.
An iPhone 3 cannot run iOS 7.
So it cannot recover an iPhone 4 or iPhone 5 backup.

  • HT204247 Need help with backing up phone.

    I need to download my photos and backup my old phone so that I can transfer everything to my new phone. I am getting a message that my storage is full.

    Hi rakishchick,
    I see that your iCloud storage is full, but you wish to be able to back up your iPhone. Here is an article about managing your iCloud storage:

    Alternatively, you could always back up your iPhone to iTunes:

  • Need help with backing up problems with Iphone 4

    I just recently backed up my iphone because I accidently deleted all content on phone... So when i got home a day later i backed up my phone and everything is back except apps, contacts, and music. so my phone looks almost brand new. and now when i plug it in it has the option to back it up or start it new again AFTER i had already backed it up several times.... Anyone know a solution to my frustrating problem??

    10 GB is pretty marginal. The problem is that previous backups were "incremental", recording only changes to the previous backup. Now you are making a full backup of the iPhone 5 (iTunes will keep the last iPhone 4 backup around) so you need enough free disk to do a complete backup rather than incremental.
    Try restarting your Mac. That usually frees up a lot of memory (temporarily).

  • Need help with backing upgrading iphone

    Hi Forum community!
    So I finally decided to upgrade from the 1st gen iphone to the 3GS. The problem is that the laptop I was syncing my old iphone on crashed and I lost everything >:^(
    So basically I have all the videos and songs stuck on my old iphone. When I try to sync with another laptop I get a message that all of my old songs will be deleted since none of them are in the new laptop's itunes playlist.
    Question: How do I get all my media off of my old iphone and onto my new one without losing any data?? (again, there is no backup of the songs or videos)
    thanks, any help will be greatly appreciated.
    -MO-

    The problem is that most of my music was unpurchased (they are uncopywrited live DJ mixes). The videos are DVDs that I converted so that I can watch them on the iphone.
    Any ideas on how I can transfer the files to my computer?

  • Need help with backed up photos-now cannot view..?

    Using iphoto 6, super duper, seagate external hd. Drive has already been set-up and backed up several times-been working well........until.......
    Last night, I saw that out of 120gb I have about 5gb left on my G4.!
    "decided" to back-up iphotos and "delete" some on my G4 to reserve more space.
    Now, if I go to the external and click on pictures folder, I can see all of my originals folders (2002-2008), but when I open iphoto, they are not in iphoto.?
    On my G4, it's the same thing, but worse! When I tried to delete my photos, I was holding the apple key and selecting multiple items, then dragging them to the trash.......I'm sure you have done this yourself before, but It drug them a little, then them "dropped" into other places in the same folder-NOT the trash! They are in all different places in the pictures folder, and not in the same places they used to be......!!!
    I've read about "re-constructing" the library. Will this work? I do not want to do any more damage. They are there-I know it!
    So, I drug the entire library of "originals" back into iphoto, but ALMOST all of the way through (got down to 100 out of 8,000 photos) and got a message that says "an error occured while trying to save your iphoto library. Make sure you have enough hard disk space and that iphoto is able to access the iphoto library folder."
    I look at my hd space, and I have about 500mb left....?
    What does this mean? I THINK I don't have enough hd space to do it now. What the **** should I do? Getting a little frustrated at this point. I am off tomorrow and want to get it fixed up.
    8,000 of my childrens photos is nothing to "play" with. I can't believe I was so stupid with these. These mean the world to me, and I'm pretty sure they are still there. Obviously they are because about 60gb of hd space is being used up with my photos according to the program "what size?" I downloaded to use.
    Where to start?
    First, thanks for reading this, and second---could someone help me out some?
    Could someone please post a link to help me to correctly partition the seagate external hd, and get these photos backed up?
    Also, what is the best way to free up my hd space on my G4? I also have a mini with 60gb of storage if I need additional hd space. In addition, I have an iphone, itouch, imac, 3 nanos, ipod hi-fi,,,,,,,Obviously, I LOVE my Apple products, but don't have enough knowledge to operate them.....kinda sad, huh?

    This is the iPhoto '08 forum (version 7.x.x) and you may very well get incorrect answers to questions about other versions - it would be better to post in the iPhoto 6 forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1116

  • I need help with 'Documents & Data' taking up all the space on my iPhone

    Hello, I have searched for days on the internet for a way to solve my problem but nothing and I really mean NOTHING seems to work at all.
    I can't buy any software either.
    When I go into Settings>iCloud Documents &  Data are off and have been off all the time. Yet I STILL have Documents &  Data taking up 5 GB of my phone and I don't have much space either.
    I have hopelessly tried deleting most of my messages and NONE and I mean NONE of the space has been given to me, nothing changed but my messages completely disappeared. No I do not use iCloud and I have the latest software updates. My phone is not jailbroken. I even tried deleting most of my apps and installing them again but that didn't work either. Photos take a small amount of space on my iPhone.
    I really hope someone can help me this is a really big issue for me and I do not fancy resetting the phone back to its Factory settings.
    I am new to the apple forum so sorry if this isn't in the right category or something. Thank you in advance. I also do not really fancy going all the way to the centre of the city to go to a Genius Bar.
    By the way, a few minutes ago I tried backing up my iPhone and syncing it again and a message popped out telling me that I need additional 4 GB of space in order to let it sync and I do not understand this, Documents & Data take more and more of my space every time I look. Also all the messages I delete come right back when I turn the phone on and off.

    Hi demolitonlovers,
    If you have unaccounted for data taking up storage space on your iPhone, you may find the following articles helpful in identifying what is taking up the space and how to remove it:

  • They stole my hard drive with my original pictures, need help with back up

    Someone stole my hard drive in my bag with the pictures I use with Lightroom. I have a clean backup of my original until November last year : the folder is similar of the folder I use in LR. But for the rest, I have a back up of the original pictures in my mac, but I think it's bit messy, because after that I deleted and move and renemae some picture in LR, and I didn't sync the back up folder. The folder is just a back up when I imported my picture in LR for the first time. So, I'm afraid LR won't find all the pictures. I don't really know how to explain better. But I will apreciate some help before started, and I don't want to mess it up. What can I do to find my LR back?

    One way to approach this is to reinstate the backup you have as of November, then Import the images since then as a new import (as you'd be using the .lrcat from November, so it won't see any of the more recent as duplicate]. Of course, no edits nor keywords will be associated with those more recent photos, but this might be the way to assure you pick up everything since then.
    Sorry about you bad news/luck on the theft. Bummer.

  • I need help with Backing up Music

    I need to back up my songs because I got an error message telling me to uninstall and reinstall I-Tunes.  However, when I tried to back up my files on CD's it didn't work right.  Some of the music was garbled........Am I doing something wrong?  Should I choose Audio CD or MP3 CD or Data DVD?   My goal is to make sure I save my music to reinstall on the new version of I-Tunes but, it would be nice to be able to play the CD's in my stereo as well.  Thanks for any help that I receive!    

    I meant to add that - Back up disc is not anywhere in the Files sections, not under LIbrary, nowhere.

  • Need help with back up and restore!

    I need to sync my ipad with my new Mini, so I backed it up to it and then selected sync with this computer and restore from back up. Now my pics and email are there but all my apps are not. How do I get my apps and app data back? Stupid Apple support told me to do it this way and all my stuff would go right back on it.

    Are the apps on your computer's iTunes ? If not, then as long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . You could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

  • I need help with backing up before SSD upgrade

    Hey guys!
    Im thinking about buying a SSD for my MacBook Pro mid-2012 because it is starting to run really slow. I have understood all instructions of installing the hard drive. The problem i have is figuring out how to transfer all my data from my current HDD to the SSD.
    Now to the real question(kind off), would it be possible to transfer the data by connecting the SSD via SATA-USB cable to my MacBook and then run a TimeMachine backup to the SSD?

    If you are going to use Internet Recovery to handle installing on the SSD, then the only thing you will need is an external enclosure in which to put your old HDD. You won't need to clone it. But if you need to, then use Disk Utility to clone it via the Restore option:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the original HDD.
    I also recommend any one of the following utilities for cloning and backups:
    Suggested Backup Software
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Others may be found at MacUpdate.

  • Need Help with back up assisant plus

    I recently activated Back up assistant plus. It started downloading pictures to my photo. It did not allow me to pick which pictures I wanted to download. Then it downloaded some of them several times. I have multiple copies of several pictures on my phone.
    How do I delete ALL the pictures that back up asst. put on my phone? And stop it from downloading any more photos?

    Yep, to really maximize the way Android and Google work together, you have a primary gmail account with that contact list doubling as your contact list for your Android phone. That way, anytime you add a contact via your smartphone, it's automatically uploaded to your gmail contact list. If you enter a contact via your PC at home, it automatically is loaded in your phone as well. It's a pretty cool set up. Disable your B.U. A Plus and the next time you enter a contact, select the email account you want to save the info to and you're good to go!

  • Need help with an app that won't finish downloading to my iPhone 5s

    This app will neither finish downloading, nor will it delete. The app is called Google Translate. please help me. Thank you all in advance.

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • I need help with saving all of the photos and videos on my iPhone.

    When I access the screen that has Photos, Shared, and Albums and I click on Photos, there are more photos there than the phone is counting that
    I have on my iPhone. How do I save all those photos or put them onto my computer? I have saved the photos it will let me but I cannot access the photos from more than 2 years ago. Also my phone says I have 43 videos but only 10 save.
    Also, when I upgrade and switch to a newer iPhone, will I see all those photos from the whole history of my phone, will I see all 43 videos, and all my iMessages and SMSs?
    Thank you.

    Hi Sharon,
    The best thing for you to do is 2 things.
    When you purchase a new device(whether it be a iPhone, iPod or iPad)
    1) Perform a full backup of your old device via iTunes. This will save contacts, calendars, photos, text messages, emails, apps in folders how you left them, music, videos, podcasts etc. Note it won't import your photos unless you tell it to.
    1.1) When you get your new device it will ask whether to set up as a new device or from a backup, select from backup and your new phone will look and be exactly the same as your old one, same settings etc.
    2)[optional] I personally like to backup my photos to iPhoto on my mac once a month. When  it reaches the end of the library it asks whether to delete originals or not. If you hit no it doesn't change the photos on your device and you have a copy in your iTunes library. This is handy if you want to use photos from your phone on your mac.
