Why won't my itunes back up my iphone since upgrading itunes 10?
Itunes will not back up my iphone 4 so I can up grade to iOS5! iTunes stops at approx 10% of step 1 (of 5). I have fully unistalled and reinstalled itunes and ran a repair in hopes it would solve the issue. But no.
Any suggestions?
So many views on this post yet no helpful reply says that there is no good answer to this problem yet. I've gone through similar threads and tried ALL the suggested fixes. Nothing has worked. My ringtones are missing from my iphone now too. I was looking forward to upgrading to OSi 5, but I can't upgrade until I can backup and sync my iphone! Come on! Help!

ITunes doesnt recognise any iphone since upgrade to 10.5
I am on windows 7 using Toshiba Satelitte L770
I have an iPhone 3GS, my wife has an iPhone 4 and we have an iPad.
All 3 worked fine with the Toshiba on itunes 10.4
I then wanted to upgrade the devices to iOS 5.0.1 (from 4.3) - so iTunes 10.5.2 had to be downloaded first which we did.
Once iTunes was upgrade - the devices were not recognised, only as camera devices but not in iTunes
I tried all of the standard troubleshooting as seen here - http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_7
No joy.
On a separate laptop running Windows Vista on a Dell Latitude, I have iTunes 10.5.2 installed.
When i plug the devices in, they are recognised no problem. So this problem appears to be related to the Toshiba only
I removed itunes and reinstalled the old version 10.4 -- this time iTunes gives out to say the version of iOS is imcompatible with iTunes 10.4 - which I think is good, as at least its recognising the iphone is connected.
Once I upgrade to 10.5.2. on itunes again, nothing, doesnt recognise the fact that any of the devices have been plugged in
Help??
What else can I try, cant find anything on google other than what I covered in the troubleshooting requests.Been having the same issues happening on the same machine as you. I did this yesterday, and so far so good.
1. Restart in safe mode (Hold down shift key when you hear the chime)
2. Under Applications > Utilities > Disk Utilities, select your hard drive on the left column, and click "Repair Permissions"
3. Once done, restart
It's been a day since I've done this, and no beachballs yet (fingers crossed) -
HT2417 Iphone model MC608LL. Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate?
Have 3G Iphone model MC608LL. Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate? Local repair shop said it was a software issue. AT&T store said to back it up and update OS version. Did all that. The switch still won't take it off vibrate.
- How did you delete it? If you used Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings without the iPod being charged you could have completely drained the battery.
- After charging for at least half an hour try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, after the charging above, place the iPod in recovery mode and try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore -

HT204053 why won't my iCloud back up?
Why won't my iCloud back up? It will not progress past "estimating time remaining".
First thing you want to make sure is that you are connected to wifi...icloud won't work if your iphone isn't connected to wifi..second you wan to check your icloud setting...go it setting then icloud (make sure your signed in), then click storage and backup at the bottom...on this page at the top you want to make sure you have storage...then you you want to back sure icloud back up is turned on (option is about mid way of page) once you do that at the bottom in blue you will see backup now click that

Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--- it spends hours showing "Backup in Progress" and then it just fails?! I have it plugged in next to the computer and I turn it off after hitting Backup but it never completes.... Should I just give up and try to get my money back?
I'm having the same problem with my iPad (3). It's been saying that my last backup was 10/11/2012. I have tried rebooting (holding down the home and start keys to reset) and then trying to manually do a backup to the cloud. I have tried deleting the iCloud backups for all apps & setting all of them to not be included in the cloud backup (thinking that maybe one of the apps might be hanging the backup up). I have now deleted the last iCloud backup. I guess I will wait & see if it performs its backup overnight or something. As mentioned above, it has consistently been 1) plugged in, 2) connected to a wifi network, and 3) been in lock screen mode. And yet it hasn't been backing up either automatically (iCloud Backup is set to "on") or if I touch 'Back Up Now'.
Here's something that's really annoying- these posts started last April but I see no sign that anyone from Apple Support has joined this conversation. (!!) -
Why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s?
why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s? it was playing thru the music app but now it's not playing. It show the song but doesn't do anything.
I had this issue when I first upgraded my Iphone4 to ios5. All my music appeared on my device as they always have but they would not play. I searched around online and it appears there was mention of unchecking the "sync music" check box in itunes under the music tab (when device is connected) and syncing your device. I then unchecked all my playlists and synced again then started adding back my music from scratch. After that headache - everything seemed to be back to normal and my music was working once again.

Hello,
I'm backing up my iPhone 4S to iTunes (and not to iCloud).
I haven'tyet needed to restore the backup to my existing phone or a new phone.
Is there a way to check in iTunes whether my Contacts are stored there?
Also, occasionally, after a backup, I am unable to locate some names/information in my iPhone Contact list.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks.If you want to free up your memory, maybe first checking to see if you got duplicates. -
From the File menu in iTunes, choose Show Duplicates. iTunes will then list all of the duplicate titles in your library.
If you delete a music in the iTunes folder, then when you try to play that particular music in your iTunes, it won't work as iTunes wouldn't be able to find it. However, when you import music on to your computer, always import straight into your iTunes, no where else. -

My computer crashed and dont have itunes backed up, how can I get itunes restored.
my computer crashed and dont have itunes backed up, how can I get itunes restored.
Your media is only where you put it.
If you have failed to maintain a backup, then you may seriously be out of luck.
Apps can be redownloaded as many times as you like.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, then it is possible to redownloaded music via iCloud from the purchase history in iTunes.
Outside the US, you can try contacting iTunes customer support. Just keep in mind they are under no obligation to assist simply because the customer failed to maintain backups of the customers purchased content. -
