Why does my iPhone 4 automatically cancel backup when updating to iOS 5?

i sync it and back it up before , not sure if it backs up everything or as much as the back up preceding the update does. and when it waits for a while, goes a very small amout, it says cancelling sync, waits a while, and disconnects sync. ???

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • HT3887 why does my iPhone say device not supported when connecting to my make even after it has successfully paired?

    iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer.
    It couldn't be much easier than that as you don't actually have to do anything more than normal.
    This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    USB syncing is far faster than Bluetooth.

  • Why does my iphone shut down my computer when i have pictures on my phone

    Why does my iphone shut down my computer when I plug into the USB port when I have pictures on my phone.  My computer says it has found a new digital camera - then my computer shuts down.

    Thank you Lawrence.  I forgot I used to run a Logitech webcam several years ago and I hadn't uninstalled program when I changed the camera to a different one.  I uninstalled the camera and it now seems to accept my phone with pictures onto my computer without shutting my computer down. I really appreciate your help with this problem.

  • TS4036 why does my iphone say it cant restore when 98 per done

    why does my iphone say it cant restore when 98 per done

    There's no way a 16GB model phone has more than than capacity.  I have no idea what you mean by AutoRun icon.  Is that an app you downloaded?  Did you jailbreak?
    The "advertised" capacity of all storage devices is based on a decimal definition of "Gigabytes" where 1 GB is defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes.  However computers see and calculate storage based on binary definitions where 1 GB = 1,073 742,824 bytes.  Thus a 16 GB "decimal" device is only 14.9 real, binary gigabytes.
    Also, there are additional loses due to formatting overhead and the iOS.  RAM memory is separate and not used from the supplied flash disk.

  • Why does my iphone 5 automatically revert to shuffle when I start listening to music after sitting overnight?

    I am playing through my music collection alphabetically at work. But, when I stop listening at the end of the day and then start listening at the beginning of the next day, my iPhone starts shuffling instead of continuing alphabetically. Anyone else having that problem? Any ideas why it is doing that?

    My new iphone 5 shuffles all the time even when the shuffle icon isn't selected.  It's driving me crazy I can never listen to the song I want to hear.  On my created playlist it won't play any song it just shuffles through all of them list wise then goes back to the main menu having not played even one song.  I'm so frustrated I could scream.  Something is worng some sort of software glitch.  I never had this problem until I got this new phone two weeks ago.

  • TS3992 Why does my iPhone and iPad say "backup could not be completed"?

    Why do I get the message "backup could not be completed after about 5 minutes"?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 automatically launch iTunes Player when I plug it into my car stereo?

    Whenever I plug my iPhone 5 into my car stereo using my Apple USB, the iTunes Player automatically launches and starts playing music from my library. I'd really like to know how to stop this from happening as it's annoying as heck! When it happens, I have to open the player, select "now playing", pause it, swipe the player closed. I'm fully updated to 7.1 also. Thank you for any help you can offer!

    Surely there's a relatively easy fix for this but no Apple Rep wants to enlighten me Yet
    Come on guys .. this really drives me crazy a minimum of 5 times a day.
    What's the fix ?!?

  • HT4623 Why does my iphone say "Activation Error" during the updating process?

    after updating my iphone, the process is like asking the language, then the country, and then the wifi right? after i connected to the wifi, i pressed "next" then it says "Activating your Iphone" then suddenly it says "Activation Error". what does this mean? can i just restore the previous version of this iphone again?

    You cannot install the previous version. "Activaton error" usually means that the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to. It is now locked again to that carrier.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s keep shutting off when it gets to 15% battery life?

    It just shuts off, and once I put it on the charger, it will turn on with 18% or more.  This has been happening for the past few days now, and I don't know what's going on o_O

    Have you been doing the recommended running the iPhone until it powers down then recharging to 100% once a month or so, in order to keep the charge readout calibrated?

  • Why does my iphone 4s display no contect when music has been added. The music appears to take up space but will not show on phone. Any help?

    hi
    recently bought a 4s iphone. Tried to add music in the same way as with an ipad but the music does not show. It says that there is no content on the iphone. It appears that the music takes up memory but I am not able to play it. I have tried to sync the phone but this does not appear to work.
    Do you have any advice?
    many thanks

    Hi Gail
    Thanks for your initial response. When I plug my phone in it is recognised as a device in iTunes. I have tried dragging songs from iTunes to the phone. The rotating symbol appears to say it is being added but it will not appear on the phone. I have also tried to add music by creating a playlist and then syncing. The memory changes to say music has been added but again no music appears on the phone.
    Let me know if you require any further information.
    Hope you can help
    Chris

  • Why does my iPhone 4 lose 3G signal when plugged into the TV with the AV Adapter?

    When I plug in my iPhone 4 (Verizon) or my husband's iPhone 4 (AT&T) to watch Netflix, Netflix stalls and the 3G signal disappears. I have tried connecting the adapter both before and after entering the application. I believe the digital AV adapter and HDMI cable are fine, because I have no problem seeing output from my iPad 2. 
    When I plug in the adapter, the 3G signal will disappear shortly thereafter.  The red Netflix screen will appear on the TV, but 9 times out of 10 it will go no further.  One time it stayed on the red screen, but I heard the audio from the movie.  Another time it showed the movie for 10 seconds, then stopped.  When I unplug my iPhone, it will take a while to regain the 3G signal.

    I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima.  It was a function in my car's stero settings.  I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB.  My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs.  Hope this helps.
