Over the air backup of iphone

Does Apple have a why to backup iphones over the air to a internal server? or is icloud the only options???

If you've been WiFi synching your phone to iTunes on your computer, you can also backup your phone wirelessly.  On the summary page, click the "Backup Now" button .

  • Over the air backup solution?

    I'm desperately seeking an over the air backup solution for my 2009 edition macbook air. I've tried carbonite, mozy and dropbox, but all of them bring the computer to a crawl when backing up significant amounts of data -- so really they're unusable as a complete backup solution.
    1. What do you use/recommend?
    2. With the 2010 edition and faster CPUs, would I no longer have such problems? (if you have experience with this, not theoretically)
    Thanks!!

    Hi Rob1977,
    I use Dropbox (a lot) and I'm a big fan of their product and it's integration with OS X. However, I've never really seen their service model targeted at the online backup crowd. Personally I think Dropbox is more of a cloud storage for regularly accessed files then a cloud backup solution but I suppose everyone's usage of the product is different.
    I had never heard of Mozy, but I decided to try and signup for their free 2GB trial account. So far I'm very unimpressed, the speed of upload/download is about 40% slower than Dropbox (same location, same machine). Although, I did not notice any slow down on my 13" MBP or my 11" MBA when using Dropbox I definitely saw it with Mozy (as compared to Dropbox).

  • Outlook 2010 won't sync over the air with my iPhone 4s

    I got my iphone 4s at the same time that my work switched to Outlook 2010.  Now I can only sync calendars manually and not automatically over the air as I enter appointments.  Plus, only appointments entered on the PC will sync with the phone - appointments entered on the phone won't sync with my work calendar at all. What's going on???  I don't know if it's a phone issue or an Outlook 2010 issue, since both changed at the same time. I did notice that new appointments typed on my phone are a different color than those entered on my PC, if that matters at all (it may just be a new feature of ios5).

  • Over-the-air sync of iphone 4s with windows xp pc

    how do i sync my iphone calendar with a calendar on my windows xp pc over the air, that is without connecting by wire.

    Your husband's Android is almost certainly probably synching with a server somewhere, not with his desktop computer directly. If you have your calendar on some sort of server - iCloud, Google Calendar, Microsoft Exchange, or the like - then you also can sync your calendar from your iPhone.
    Regards.

  • Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?

    Do you need to sync the iPhone through iTunes if you sync over the air?
    My MacBook Pro and iPhone 3G with OS 4 synchronize with each other over the air through my Snow Leopard Server. Though when I connect it to iTunes I see that it allows me to checked "Synchronize with this computer" type options and I'm confused as to why that would be if they're synchronizing over the air.
    Can someone help clarify when those should be checked? Because I do want everything that's on my computer synchronized with my iPhone and vice versa, but if I add the accounts on my phone manually that seems to work too.

    In regards to syncing contacts and calendar events, if you are syncing this data over the air on your iPhone and the contacts and calendar events synced over the air on your iPhone match the Address Book and iCal data on your Mac, there is no reason to sync this data direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.

  • I don't have Mobile me, but my notes on my ipad and my iphone no longer sync over the air. Any answers?

    I don't have Mobile Me, but my ipad and iphone notes used to sync over the air and they no longer do.
    Does anyone have any answers?

    In iCal's preferences, you can configure whether and when events get purged.
    As for recovering old, deleted events... I don't suppose you have backups?...

  • Someone else's Notes appearing on my iPhone. I'm using version 5.0.1. I assume there is some type of over-the-air sync problem happening?

    Doing a restore will more than likely resolve the problem. Plug the phone into iTunes, select your phone under DEVICES, and press Restore. This will restore your phone to factory settings. Now, after the restore is complete, you have two options:
    1) Restore from Backup
    This will let you restore all of the content you had on your phone but may also restore the other person's notes and their ability to sync notes to your phone.
    2) Set Up as New iPhone
    Your data will not be restored, but you can always sync content back later as long as it is in iTunes. On the positive side, this would positively remove any setting that would allow someone else's notes to appear on your phone.
    You will be presented with these two options after the restore. I recommend restoring from a backup first so you won't lose your data, but if it doesn't solve the problem, proceed to restore as a new phone.

  • Can multiple iphones with multiple itunes accounts be synced to one mac keeping apps seperate over the air?

    We have about 20 iPhone's in our environment and syncing and updating them has become a real chore lately.  Everyone has their own iTunes account and apps that they use. Is there a way that they can be synced, backed up and updated over the air (not iCloud) to the same MAC?  Because we are in the financial sector we will not be able to use iCloud. Should we look into some sort of private cloud and if so; any suggestions on how to accomplish it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    J

    We have several macs, several ipods, a couple of iphones, several itunes store accounts. So far no problem. You might have to share passwords if you want to share content. I think iStore accounts can only be used on up to 5 computers. We have 7, so have to be a little careful about that. I don't think there is a limit on how many iDevices can be used with one account. I also don't think there is a limit on how many accounts can be used on a single computer (might be wrong about that). You have to be logged into the iStore to download content, and your computer has to be registered with the account to use the content, but once it is on, and registered, syncing to an iPod is not a problem (you do not have to login in again for each account the content was purchased from). I'm just glad I only have two kids, and one wife - things could get trickier in a big family with . . .

  • How can I turn off over the air sync settings on my Mac iPhone

    Hi,
    For some reason I am attempting to sync my iPhone with my laptop as usual but now in the iTunes app when I attach my iPhone and go to Info, it reads: Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone. So here is the thing, I have looked online and have found nothing at all to show me how to do this on my iPhone. I want to be able to add info on my iPhone and then connect it with my laptop and sync it immediately with my laptop and also to add info on my laptop and immediately sync it with my iPhone. Please help. Thanks

    On your iPhone go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select your MobileMe account. Turn off the items you don't want synced over the air.

  • Over the air sync can be changed on your iPhone

    iTunes says that "Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe.
    Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone".
    How do I change that so I can sync my contacts with Windows Contacts? When I tried to sync with MobileMe I lost all of my contacts and I want to get them back on my iPhone.

    Hi,
    I did the same thing deleted my email account and recreated it, went with the same settings and same issues.
    I certainly am not a Mac or iPhone expert, but I can tell you what happened to me then. I obviously had the same issue with "over air sync can be changed on your iphone" and my contacts had been wiped out. I was concerned as I had lost all my contacts off the iphone however my mobileme account had all of the contacts there. I found that all I had to do was give it some time to really sync between mobileme and the iphone contacts. I was being too impatient expecting them to appear instantly once I agreed to the sync with mobileme. I left it for a few hours and the contacts finally syncd.
    Hope this helps

    You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
    I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
    If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

  • Will updating my iphone 4 to ios 6 using over the air delete any thing

    My iphone is running on ios 5.1.1 and i want to upgrade it to ios 6.0.1 using over the air.I want to know that will it delete my apps,contacts or any thing

    No, no data should be deleted. You may have to reload the Google Maps and the youTube Apps from the App Store since they are not bundled in iOS 6. You will still be able to sign into your youTube account (if you had one).

  • How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

    How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

    It totally depends. The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
    Anecdotally, it took me about 20 minutes.
    Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.
    Ways you can maybe speed it up - use iTunes, get off wifi and do a hard connection via ethernet.

  • Sync iCal with iphone using .mac over the air

    I can't seem to get my iCal appointments to sync with my iPhone unless I use the USB cable. I thought it would sync over the air the same way my email does. can anyone help?

    The iPhone does not support OTA syncing - all data is synced via a USB connection with your computer through iTunes only.
    Server stored mailboxes for your .Mac account are kept synchronized since you are accessing the account as an IMAP account - the same applies to any IMAP account accessed with the iPhone.
