No Device Back-Up

There are no backups under Preferences > Devices.
There is no "BackUp" option when I right-click a device.
iTunes does not include step "Backing Up" while syncing.

My problem came about because my AOL account was no longer accepted as a paying iTunes account.  I had to have them convert my AOL iTunes Store account to an Apple ID account.  But then, after loggin in thru iTunes, my iPhone was no longer recognized.  I didn't have any options available when right clicking on the Device in iTunes.  I was only able to fix my issue when I followed the directions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2529
Under "Reset the Lockdown Folder"
Then the iPhone came back to life in iTunes and I could backup again.

  • I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

    i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

    Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly:  File>Transfer Purchases  , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • HT204053 I recently changed my apple id to a new email.  I cannot get my devices back online with my new apple id in the icloud

    I recently changed my apple id to a new email at the same time getting a new Iphone 5.  I cannot get all my devices back online with icloud since.  It is still showing my old email even though I changed it and logged in under the new one.  My icloud information is grayed out for the apple id.

    You need to sign out completely in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and then sign back in again with the new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in (may take a bit of time).

  • HT1766 Choose File Devices Back up is greyed out and not an option?

    i smashed the screen on my 5s ... i got a new one... File > Devices > Back up does not seem to be an option when i plug in my iphone with the cracked screen..... so i tried to plug in my smashed one to back it up and transfer using my itunes that i just upgraded to latest 11.3 on my macbook pro and its saying 'do you want to set this iphone up as a new phone' or 'backup from some backup in 2012??? i dont want to do either.. i just want to back up my current iph 5s with the smashed screen so i can put the backup onto my new 5s??!!!... i have read many forums and tried to get info off the apple sites but some say it will erase everything and some say it wont... but im scared to go ahead with the setup as new iphone .. bcos ive had it erase everything another time i did it wiht a previous iphone   not cool!!!  why does it have to be so confusing?

    I find that when my device is syncing then the backup is also greyed out. If I wait for the sync to finish then the Backup function works

  • How to add a device back to Apple ID

    How do you add a device back to Apple ID once it is removed by mistake? Signing in again doesn't work - "Apple ID Disabled".

    First try resetting the pasword
    Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
    This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
    Next contact iTunes

  • I sent my device back but got a text message

    I sent my device back, but got a text message saying that it was nit received & I may be charged. I have a receipt dated 07/08/2015 with a tracking number.

    Hello There
    I want to thank you for being diligent with returning the requested equipment! 
    The text message you received from AT&T is a friendly reminder to return the equipment to avoid a charge. 
    We definitely recommend any time a customer sends back equipment to hang on to the tracking receipt, which you have.  Just keep this tracking receipt for your records, but at this time there seems to be no need for concern.
    Thank you,
    Charise

  • Find my iPhone has reset and none of my devices are listed; is this because I have an old Iphone4? And can I set all my devices back up again? And how do I set my devices back up?

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • Oracle VM 3.1.1: Using iSCSI LUN's as Device-Backed Virtual Machine Disks?

    Will Oracle VM Manager 3.1.1 support the use of iSCSI LUN's as device-backed virtual machine disks? i.e., Can iSCSI LUN's be treated like directly-attached storage (DAS) and used as virtual machine disks?

    I don't personally use ISCSI. BUT, I don't see why you can't create physical pass through attachments to virtual guests using ISCSI LUNS. It is no different than FC or direct attach storage. Worst case scenerio... you can create a repo on the ISCSI LUN and then create virtual disks.
    Oracle VM Getting Started Guide for Release 3.1.1Chapter 7. Create a Storage Repository
    A storage repository is where Oracle VM resources may reside... Resources include virtual machines, templates for virtual machine creation, virtual machine assemblies, ISO files (DVD image files), shared virtual disks, and so on. This would have the effect of using file-backed virtual machine disks but at least they'd be centrally-located on shared storage (and, therefore, the virtual machine could run as an HA guest)

    I have kicked this idea around as well, but I decided do it slightly different, by providing the storage repo via multipathed iSCSI and use iSCSI within my guests if needed for better speed or lower disk latency.
    If you want to use iSCSI as the virtual devices for your guests in a clustered server pool, you'd have to grant access to all of your iSCSI targets to any VM server and I was not feeling comfortable with that. I rather grant only the guest directly access to "its" iSCSI target. So I will keep all of my guests system images on the clustered server pool - and additionally also the virtual disks that don't need a high performance and have the really heavy-duty vdisks as separate iSCSI targets.That seems logical, Budy:
    <ul>
    <li>Use a multipathed iSCSI repository for hosting the virtual machine's disk image, and then;
    <li>Utilize iSCSI LUN's for "more performant" parts of the guest's file system (e.g., /var).
    </ul>
    I'm still puzzled about that image, though. +i.e., the fourth image from the bottom of Chapter 7.7, "Creating a Virtual Machine" ("To add a physical disk:...") where it's clear that the exising "physical" disks are actually iSCSI LUN's that are attached to the OVM server.+
    I suppose that I'll have to configure some iSCSI LUN's and try it out to be certain. Just another tool that I don't have +but will need to add to my toolbox+.

  • How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows

    How To : How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows (May work on Mac too)
    NOTE - THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU HAVE THE MUSIC FILES ON THE COMPUTER ALREADY
    If your like me and format your computers only to discover that you've lost all those time consuming playlists that you spent hours on, well your in luck.
    Without any Third-Pary programs it's possible to save those awesome playlists, and pull them back from the blink of oblivion.
    Step 1 - Connect iDevice to your computer and then open iTunes.
    Step 2 - Locate your iDevice on the left side bar on iTunes under the heading 'Devices', click the arrow on the left of the devices name and select a playlist.
    Step 3 - Right-Click the selected playlist and choose 'Export playlist', Save it as a Text file.
    Step 4 - In iTunes, up the top click 'File' then locate Library, move across to 'Import Playlist...', Select the playlist you just created and click open.
    Step 5 - Your playlist will appear on the left side bar under the heading 'Playlists', Select the playlist and attempt to play one of the songs contained.
    Step 6 - You would have been prompted that iTunes doesnt see the file, select 'Locate' and then go to the location of your music and locate the file.
    (Sorry dont have an image for this one due to having all my music already found)
    Step 7 - Doing this once will find all the music in the playlist given that it's in a similar location of the song you found.
    Congrats you have successfully moved a playlist back from oblivion

    There's a different method.
    1. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> Check Manually manage music and videos.
    2. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> uncheck Manually manage music and videos.
    done.

  • HT4847 Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account

    Just got a second iPad for the home.
    Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account?

    Yes, but it's not usually recommended to share an iCloud account within a family.  If you do, any data you sync with iCloud will be merged and you, for example, will end up with each other's contacts and calendars on your devices.  Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting a contact) will be replicated on the other devices.  You will also all be sharing the same 5GB of free storage for all your data and device backups.
    Normally it's best to use separate iCloud accounts for each person's devices.  This will keep your data separated, and allow each person to have their own free 5GB of storage.  You can continue to share the same iTunes ID within the family; the ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the one your use for iTunes purchasing.  (Each person should also use a separate ID on their devices for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.)
