Will itunes backup MY iphone number

I was just wondering if itunes backs up my iphone number. I am planning to restore my phone because it's messed up and I want to get rid of my number. I gave my SIM to my sister but every call history and text is also sent to me; connected number. I want to also backup my data but not my phone number. Will itunes do it?
Thank you, all replies will be appreciated

Does it stop at step 2 (backup) or does it continue to sync? Any errror messages given?
Did you check if there is a backup listed in iTunes/Preferences/Devices?

  • HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Full Restore from Time Machine, will iTunes recognize my iPhone or...

    Hi All:
    About ago my MB Pro was stolen. Fortunately, I had strong security settings and was diligent about backing up to Time Machine.
    I am about to purchase a new iMac to replace the MB Pro, and will be doing a complete restore from time machine to recover my data. However, since my computer was stolen, life has gone on. I have purchased music from iTunes via my iPhone and also added many new contacts. Does anyone know what will happen the first time I try to sync my iPhone to my fully restored image on the new computer? Will iTunes recognize the iPhone as it was before and do a 2 way sync (new music and contacts sent back to iMac) or will it want to override all data on the iPhone and replace it with the existing contacts and music from the restore?
    Thanks!
    John

    All of your iPhone data (the iPhone backup done by iTunes) is stored in your user folder's library as: USER/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. I believe some iPhone data is also stored here: USER/Library/Application Support/SyncServices. For some reason, the folks at Apple thought that this was NOT information that needed to be backed up in Time Machine.
    So unless you copied and pasted the backup folder into your external drive, your migration of info from the drive to the iMac will not carry any iPhone info to the new computer.
    That being said, I'm not exactly sure what the iPhone will do when being plugged in. It will probably ask if you want the phone to be associated with the user account on that iMac, and upon selecting yes it MIGHT try to send your contacts, calendars, etc. to the new iMac. I am not sure about this--if I were you I'd ask a Mac Genius at an Apple Store or call AppleCare. But the Apple Store would be your best bet. The iPhone would not be able to send music, but that's not a big deal since you have it all in the backup anyways.

  • Will the iTunes backup (from iPhone) save the library of music on the phone?

    I have about 30Gb of music in iTunes. I spent significant time selecting my favorite Songs/Artists to put on the iPhone 4s, since the phone only has 16Gb of memory. I want to make sure the libary of songs I currently have on the iPhone will be restored to the iPhone in the event that I have to restore from iTunes or iCloud. I regularly backup to both iTunes and iCloud. Thanks!

    As far as I'm aware, an iTunes backup of your iPod Touch only backs up things such as Apps, and certain other data. It doesn't backup your music.
    So assuming that the backup you're referring to is not a specific and separate backup of your music, then no, you will not be able to use the backup to put your music onto the new iPod.
    It's a bit late now, but for the future, you need to keep your music etc. in the iTunes Library - and back that music up, preferably to an external drive.
    As for your original issue - the speaker on the Touch not turning off when you insert the headphones, have you tried a reset of the Touch? It's certainly the first thing suggested in the iPod Touch forum.

  • ITunes Backup for iPhone

    I backup my iPhone 4 regularly.  When I open up the restore from backup in iTunes I can clearly see the latest backup PLUS two others - one about a month ago and one about 2 months ago.
    What happened to all the backups I did in between my backup today and the one done 1 month ago (since there were several).
    Thanks everyone

    Old news. Plus just as easy to not mess with configuration and just click the little X on the status when it says backing it, it will cancel it and move on to syncing. Thus leaving it still able to back up when you have time to allow it since you REALLY SHOULD backup now and then.

  • Will itunes erase my iphone if I set it up as new?

    I've had my iphone for a while and am just now connecting it to itunes to load music.  I've got SMS, apps and photos on it already.  When I connect to iTunes, it asks if I want to set up as new or restore from backuo (no backups).
    If I set it up as new will iTunes erase the apps, SMS, and photos?

    I'm sorry you think it's a silly question.  I did read the guide and it doesn't say how to set it up as a new device without deleting everything.  Next time you find a "silly" question maybe you can just move on so it doesn't offend you instead of judging without helping.
    To everyone else
    Thanks for your advice and links, unfortunately nothing seems to answer my question. 
    Here's my situation:
    1) Bought a new iPhone from Verizon last month
    2) The iphone activated without me having to connect to iTunes
    3) In the interim, I took photos, downloaded apps, texted friends, etc
    4) I wanted to load music, so I plugged it into iTunes
    5) iTunes wants me to set up as a new phone or restore from backup, but the only backup file is from an iPod I have
    6) iTunes doesn't give me the choice of backing up my iPhone (when I right-click on the device all I get is "eject" and "restore from backup")
    I also tried checking "Prevent iPads, iPhones, and iPods from syncing automatically" in iTunes
    I just want to put music on my phone but can't seem to get past iTunes wanting to set it up and I'm afraid it'll delete everything if I do.
    iPhone 4
    iOS 5.1
    iTunes 10.6.3.25
    Any suggestions???
    Thanks!

  • Will iTunes Backup; backup Application content?

    I have an application that stores passwords. Will my passwords save in the application be backed-up to my computer through the iTunes backup?
    Other examples:
    -Your lists created in a toDo list program
    -What level you on in a game
    -Notes in the note application
    -etc, etc

    When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone is completely erased and the current firmware version available is re-installed.
    After the firmware is re-installed, you are prompted to restore the iPhone from the most recent backup (which is the default selection), or as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup.
    This must be followed by a sync.

  • Restore PC, keep iTunes backup and iPhone backups - How to?

    I would like to restore my PC back to factory settings.
    I've once before transfered my iTunes Library from one to another computer and even restored it on my old desktop PC, though i had some problems...
    --> most of my songs got little "?" in front of them and iTunes tells me it can't find them, which is really annoying cos i am not gonna put them all back in (45gb music is no fun...)
    Is there any way i am too stupid to know to prevent that from happening?
    But second of all and even more important is what will happen with my iPhone and my iTouch? All the Apps and all that stuff? I would like to keep my iPhone as it is but still restore my PC...is that possible?
    Thanks a lot
    and i really used the search before posting this but i just couldn't find the right answer. If I appear to be too lazy to open my eyes correctly it would still be nice if you would help me by posting the link ;-)

  • My iTunes will ONLY backup my iPhone ONCE *SO* VERY quickly, almost as if it's done nothing... (not the three options for rollback as promised) HELP! Please Read...

    Hi there,
       thanks in advance for any help you can give me on this, but, my iTunes will perform a backup on my iPhone ONCE. By which I mean, it will do another new backup again if I want it to, and that's all fine... but it's supposed to hold (I think) THREE states of backup that the user has saved at various points in order that the user can choose and rollback/restore from whichever one they want.
    There is none of that. I get the drop-down menu if I choose to restore... but it's pointless as there's only ever one option.
    At the moment, no matter how close together I perform the backups, or how far apart... I get ONE backup saved in my iTunes.
    As far as I can tell this is also ONE backup between iCloud or the computer. i.e. I don't get one for each. Just whichever I performed most recently.
      iTunes absolutely DID NOT used to do this. I used to get the three options and it took a little bit of a wait for the backup process to go through fully.
      Can anybody help or shed some light on this?
    As a sidenote: It's slightly concerning that the backup process it performs is now lightning quick and it almost seems as if it's doing nothing, when in fact my iPhone is absolutely, irresponsibly rammed with everything... hence the worrying need for backups and solving this issue etc. etc.
      Please can anyone help me with this, or even give a little support?
    P.S. Yes, I fully anticipate being told not to have my iPhone so stuffed etc. etc. It's got about 1-2gb free and I figure you should get to use what you pay for
      Thank you so much in advance.

       I have to say, this is so weird because it's actually become this way in the past week maybe, and I'm sure me saying this here will be disputed, ridiculed and belittled, and that's absolutely fair, but I've got to say it... up until a few days ago, my iTunes sync/backup area really would keep more than one backup for my one, single iPhone. They were all timed and dated with a drop-down menu (which appeared if I clicked the restore button) to choose which one I wanted to roll back to, for example. Sure, I'd read about the three backups thing etc. etc. and perhaps I got that wrong or misunderstood, but I can honestly say, I only ever had at the most two backups, that I could drop-down and choose to restore from. They were there. Same iPhone. Different dates.
       At the time, when this seemed to be the case, the backing-up process took quite a while. I would leave it to progress while I went and made a cup of tea, come back and it still wasn't finished running. So, not really AGES, but a little while.
       Now, when I perform a backup, the progress bar almost shoots across to a finish. I'll 'fess up... that worries me most of all. I can live without the luxury of a menu of backups... but if it does it once, I'd like to be sure it does it at all.
    Much more importantly though, thank you for your replies so far.
    Any further input, even if it's to belittle or shame is totally welcome. I'd like to understand this a bit more.
    Thanks again.

  • HT1766 Can itunes backup ipad/iphones to a different hard drive in windows?

    I currently have a 100GB hard drive I use for my windows operating system, and itunes uses this location to backup my various iphones, and ipads. However I don't have enough hard disk space to manage the backups. Is it possible to direct itunes to backup and ipad to an external hard drive?

    Yes. See this previous discussion. Some Googling is still required.

  • Computer will not backup new iphone 5s

    I had iphone 5 backed-up to icloud my old comptuer crashes. Now I have a iphone 5s restored from iphone 5 icloud and new computer.  When I backup new iphone5s on my new comptuer it does not save my ringtones and audiobooks from iphone 5.  Now I have 2 icloud backups (iphone 5 & iphone 5s).  Is there anyway to merge the 2 icloud backups?  How can I save my current iphone 5s so it save my ringtones & audiobooks?  Help Please.

    Do you want to back up to iCloud or to iTunes on a computer?. Just need to clarify because you talk about connecting your iPhone to your computer to sync which you don't have to do when wanting to back up to iCloud.

  • ITunes only gives iPhone 5 the option to restore from backup or eject

    I know this question has been asked in the past, and I have read many threads and articles on this question, but I still have not been able to find a way to backup my iPhone 5 (running iOS 6.1.2) to my computer without losing all the data on it.
    Brief explanation of my problem.
    I purchased an iPhone 5 new back in December 2012  Removed it from the box, powered it on and started entering my contacts from my old (non-smart) phone by hand.  After done entering my contacts, I then proceeded to setup Messages, iTunes, the App store etc with the Apple ID of my wife's phone since we really don't have a need for separate Apple ID's.
    All works fine with all our Apple iOS devices.
    My problem lies with me not being able to plug my iPhone 5 into my computer and being able to make a backup to the computer.  No matter what computer I plug the iPhone 5 into, I get the Welcome to Your New iPhone screen.  If I right-click on the phone in the left hand column, my only options are Eject (or Restore from backup... if I plug the iPhone 5 into the same computer that my wife's iPhone has been backed up to) as seen in this image.
    How do I get the phone to be recognized by my computer so I can do a backup to the computer like my wife's iPhone.  I currently do NOT have a backup anywhere of my iPhone 5?
    Is the only time you can associate an iOS device to a computer is when it is brand new before being used?
    By comparison, I can plug my iPad 2 (running iOS 6.1.3) into any computer (be it the one it is synced and backed up to, or a completely different machine) and iTunes will show the device, ask to update the firmware if an update is needed, and allow me to see what is currently installed, drag and drop items to certain apps that allow it, see the breakdown at the bottom of the screen as to what percent of music, apps, pictures, etc are installed on it and such.
    So, why can't I see my iPhone 5 in the same manner when I connect it to a computer?
    Any and all advice greatly appreciated.
    If any further info is needed, I will be glad to supply it.
    Thanks in advance to all that respond.

    I would like to preface that I have NOT tried what I am about to post.
    I came across this forum post that seems to answer the question I originally posted above.
    The post is will itunes erase my iphone if I set it up as new?
    Based on this post, it seems that if I create a new library using the hold Shift Key while starting ITunes and then selecting Create library, and then starting iTunes in this new library, when connecting my iphone I should be able to select the Setup as new and then based on the postings in the above link, give the phone a name and it should backup the phone without deleting anything from it.
    Again, I have not tried this myself as I finally broke down and created a new user on my PC to do the backup.  I came across this link after I had finished my backup.
    Just thought someone might find this useful.
