thank you for your reply
I have backed up my phone more than once since and it has saved each of those as individual back up versions so it is not the case that it only saves the latest back up
If the iphone is on a different IOS you'll see it in edit - preference - device - backups.  IF it is on the same IOS it will overwrite the previous backup.

  • I download songs from my dropbox to my macbook pro and then upload them to my updated iTunes.  iTunes plays them in entirety, but when i update my iTunes match, my iPhone and iPad skip many of the songs and albums.  Why?  I have tried everything.

    If you have manually manage set, you do not sync.
    If you want to sync, select the content desired to sync and sync.

    Connecting the iPad to the internet via the iPhone is done by setting up a personal HotSpot, but you have to have that supported by your carrier and have to have established the account to do so.
    On the  iPhone, Settings > General > Network > Set Up Personal Hotspot

  • How to create a separate account on iTunes for my iPhone and iPad

    I have an 8 GB capacity iPhone which I use to connect to iTune for music, video, app synch purpose. Recently I purchase iPad3 capacity 32 GB.  When I connect pad to iTune first time, pop message says that do u want to create a separate account or restore iPhone backup? That time I had chosen restore.
    Now problem which I am facing is:
    1. Say for example I downloaded 3 HD Gages for iPad then I synced with iTune. Next when I am connecting iPhone these 3 HD games are getting installed on the phone, which I don't want.
    2. Say I have selected almost 20 GB audio and video for my iPad which are there in the iTune, when I am connecting iPhone all these audio and video are started copying to the iPhone.
    How to overcome from this issue. How to create separate account for my iPhone and iPad on iTune? So that same Apps, Music, Video etc. will not installed or copied to both the device when connected to iTunes.

  • HT5622 My wife and I shared an Apple ID, have closed out iTunes on her iPhone and iPad but will not allow her email address to be associated with a new account even though it does not appear anywhere in my information. Any suggestions.

    My wife and I shared an Apple ID, I have closed out the iTunes on her iPhone and her iPad. While trying to set up a new iTunes account when I enter her email address it says we have to select a new email address. I have checked and her email is not associated with my iTunes account and really do not want to establish another email account. Any suggestions?

    Hi Stateler74,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

  • When I merged my iPhone and iPad contact info., I lost all of the names that my messages were posted under.  All conversations are now posted under phone numbers.

    When setting up some iCloud info., agreed to merge iPhone and iPad contact info., and now most of my iPhone messages are listed by phone numbers, rather than by the person's name.  Some of the names eventually showed up, but not many, and most of those now have the husband and wife's name together or just the family name (Millers, Smiths, etc.).

    No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
    I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
    You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.

  • "Can not connect to iTunes Store" via iPhone and iPad

    I can not connect to iTunes store from my mobile divices.  I can through iTunes on my Macbook Pro running Leopard (10.6.8).  My company has not authorized update to Lion yet. 
    I have the same problem on my iPhone and iPad 1.  This has occured since updating to IOS 5.0.1, but I do not know if it is the cause or just a coincidence. 
    Since I can make purchases through my Macbook and sync, it's not a crisis, but just an big irritation. 

    Apple ID problems. 
    An additional consideration might be that I have had Apple ID problems.  With the move to an ID for iCloud my old Apple ID and a new one using an email address got mixed up and in conflict.  It took Apple Support staff to clean it up.  For a few days, everything seemed to be running fine on my new/old/restored single ID.  I did not think this was a problem, because the error sited a connection problem not an ID or password problem.  Could this be a factor?

  • Lost one "face" when sync'd with iPhone and IPad?

    I have about 20 "faces" but, mysteriously, one of them doesn't appear in "faces" view via my iPhone and iPad.
    I've tried renaming the "face" in iPhoto and then resyncing but it still doesn't appear, whilst all the others appear fine.
    It's rather odd - any ideas why this might be happening?
    Many thanks

  • Why can't I get text on my iPad? Roommate has iPhone and iPad like myself gets text both places. The only difference seems to be her phone number is listed before her email address. Can't get it to add my number.

    Why can't I get text on my iPad?  My roommate has a iphone and iPad like myself and she gets text. Only difference is her cell number is listed before her email address. My cell number is no there and won't let me add it.

    I assume that you mean that you do have an iPhone because messages will not work with any other type of cell phone. You should be able to add your phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at, if your phone number is lited in there, select it and then uncheck your email address and then the iPad will be using the phone number just like the iPhone.
    If you phone number is not listed in there, you probably have to sign out/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start over again on the phone - and then your phone number should be accessible to use on the iPad.

  • ITunes fails updating iPhone and iPad - works using another computer

    I am unable to update or restore the software on my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2. It always fails, sometimes with a 1013 error, sometimes with other errors.
    It failed while attempting to update my iPhone to 4.3 and also while trying to update to 4.3.1.
    I was also unable to update my iPad 2 to 4.3.1.
    I connected the devices to another mac and was able to successfully update both devices the first time.
    This problem occurred when running iTunes 10.2 and still occurs with 10.2.1.
    I have also downloaded a fresh copy of iTunes 10.2.1 and still have the problem.
    Can anyone think of a solution other than formatting and reinstalling everything?
    My configuration is as follows:
    MacBook Pro i5 2.4ghz Mid 2010
    OS X 10.6.7
    8gb RAM
    iTunes 10.2.1

    After updating iTunes to 10.2.2 it wiped out my iPhone, iPad and iPad2 and it will not restore on another pc in the house.  I spent 6 hours restoring the iPhone but the iPad and iPad2 has taken 6 hours going thru every step in the support recommendations as well as 3  hours on the phone with 2 separate techs today.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled, went thru with the tech and edited the registry as well as the msconfig.  Rebooted the PC's, reinstalled, uninstalled all of the anti virus software and did a limited start-up, all to no avail.
    You cannot reinstall the last working version of iTunes because the library is synced with a later version - so I have 2 dead devices.
    Other friends are experiencing the same problem and I know of 2 dozen others experiencing the same issues.
    Apple needs to fix the latest update of iTunes!

  • When i syncronize my iphone and ipad to the icloud using the same apple-id, are they stored under seaparate accounts?

    Is there  a risk that when I make a backup from one device, it overwrites the stored data from thoe other device?
    If I want to restore my iPhone and my iPad from the iCloud, will they be restored from the same stored data or from separate data?

    Ok, great news.
    Thank you!

    There is a bug in this new version of itunes for mac os x
