@MyAndrewr I need more instructions. What this does is it backs up an image of your iOS device (iPhone, iPad, etc...). You mention the app is installed. If it is installed, it should be on your device. Is there another issue? Like it not working when you try to run it?
When i right click my device in itunes the option to back up is not there. Can someone please help me out? I really need to back up my iphone. And yes, i have the latest itunes.
@StraatMeneeer make sure your iOS device is not trying to sync when you right-click it. If it is (the status bar will show it syncing), you won't have the option to back it up until you stop the sync.
I plugged my iPod back into the iTunes today.. and it erased all I had.. bomer.. I am restoring in a older version of my iPod.. is there a way to restore from the iPod I just had now I did not back it up.. is there a way to back up.. even thogh i didnt?
@dhanurdara you first need to create the backup file on your local machine. To restore, the file would need to be on your machine..not an ext drive. I would try and free up space for the backup.
@dhanurdara basically, it's more of a pain each time you want to restore your device. Personally, I would move files off my machine and onto an ext drive. Saves you from a headache later on.
@ckarasiewicz So question, i want to restore my iPod from a jailbreak. If i back it up first, then restore it with my old backup will i get all that old jailbreak data again? If so, is there a way i can just back up just my songs?
@whiteshadow666777 you would first need to back it up prior to doing any jailbreaking (I don't jailbreak so not familiar with the process). What this does is it creates an entire image - but you don't have the ability to select just to backup your music.
The best way to do that would be to backup the music in your iTunes folder. This way your music is backed up. Then do a backup of the device.
OH no, i updated my cousin IPhone to IOS 5 i only pressed sync with out doing anything else i forgot from where i back so i just pressed sync and there was something written before i update it L ( contacts, calendar...) i though they mean nothing well be deleted from the flowing...
then after the update all of his contacts ( about 80 contact ) WAS DELETED, HELP how can i get them BACK ?
@Fireaspider if you didn't back it up before you synced it, it's going to be tough to get the information back. Sounds like you plugged the iPod was synced with one computer and you plugged it into another one - which prompted the box to erase the information on the iPod.
@cutieserenity31 yes. It is taking a snapshot of your iPhone at the current moment. So if you have an app on there and say 3 email accounts, when you restore, it will put them back on your phone.
@EmBongHD it takes a snapshot of your phone at the moment - apps, emails, etc...even where they're located. It should back-up the data in the app, seeing how the app is not being removed - it's just taking a snapshot of a point in time.
idk if youd be able to help me, but itunes is saying my ipod cant be synched because there is not enough memory and i checked and there is a lot of memory left. any ideas on how i can fix this problem. and all the music and videos on my ipod is gone, but it shows its all there in itunes.
When you talk about backup creating a "factory image", does this image include songs, apps, and videos? Because when I backed up mine and restored from backup, all the apps and media were missing, although my contacts and text messages were still there.
@james121515 it should backup everything that is on your phone at the time. It creates an image of your phone in its current state. Apps and media should be put right back where they were at. Contacts and text messages too.
hay ima new user to the apple ipod touch 4g an i wanted to put my ipod in dfu mode to restore my battery problems because i had jail broken it an i had restored it once an no matte how long i charge my ipod the battrey drains with in 3 hours of use pls help me
So, as you might know, finding a jailbreak for Iphone 3g 4.2.1 is hard, but i found one, and when i back it up just incase it wont work, it stays at the end for a long long time, idk if it will complete soon or not, please help?
@ckarasiewicz So, if I upgrade my device iOS, will it just back to the iOS I backed up ? P.S : I can't find the backup thing on my 10.5 itunes.. is it because I haven't registered my iPad2 yet ? Thanks for the help
@MrFondrake it should make an image of your device at whatever version software you are running. If you are running say iOS 4.3 and back it up and then try to restore, it will take you back to 4.3.
If you device is trying to sync with iTunes, the backup option will not be there. You need to stop the sync first and then do the backup. You stop it by clicking the x in the window at the top (middle of the iTunes window).
@Jaqueline612 yes - it creates an image of the device and everything on it. This way when you get a new device or need to restore one you can do it right from the backup.
@CrumpyGrind I have not backed up a jail-broken iPod; however it should back it up -- minus the apps. Those are a little different since iTunes doesn't necessarily know what to do with them.
Hey i was wondering if anyone knows, i backed up my ipod but i have a bunch of free music on it that i got from like limewire or some program if i update it to the 5.0.1. and then restore from backup will those songs be there? or do they have to be in your itunes library?
@AlphaKid126 what device are you trying to backup? When you plug in the device, let it first show-up in the left column of iTunes. Then try right-clicking.
Also make sure that your device is not trying to sync. Otherwise you won't have the option to backup until you stop the sync.
i got a new imac and i want to sync. my ipad 2 to my imac but i already sync. it into my macbook? and when i plug it in my imac, then on my itunes on device there's nothing that's show up ? :)
@FrikkySmile you can only sync the device to one computer. the best thing to do is to consolidate your music to the new computer. Go to iTunes, click iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and look at where your music is stored. Then copy over to your new Mac.
@MrRoshi4 it isn't the kind of backup you're thinking. It creates a file that only iTunes can read. Whatever is on your iOS device at the time of backup is what gets backed up. It is essentially crating an image of iPhone, iPad, etc... and storing it. This way when you get a new device, you can simply restore from backup and everything you had on your device when you backed it up gets copied to the new one.
ok, so one question, i need to know where i can find the contents of my back up, cause my backup only took mabey 2 seconds (literally) to finish, and i don't think it backed up my almost 500 songs in 2 seconds..... so if you could tell me where i can find the backup folder/file/ect. then that would help me see if im backing up all my files that i want...
@frugooscape0taz it doesn't create a backup like what you're thinking. The best thing I can recommend is to try the backup again - it will create a second backup (basically an image of your device at the time you backed it up). Then whenever you get a new device. Think of going from an iPhone 3G to an iPhone 4S - you can do the restore from backup feature and how you had your iPhone 3G setup along with whatever was on it - would get copied to your iPhone 4S. No resync or moving things around.
@SoniKZooM when you create a backup, it saves your phone/iPad in its current state. f you add notes and then don't make a backup and lose your phone, you wouldn't be able to get your notes back.
For something like that, you should use iCloud and turn it on to backup notes to iCloud - meaning when you make a note on your phone and save it, it uploads to the cloud and you can get it on any device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch). I have a separate video on that. Will send you the link.
lol its alright now i found out that i didnt need to backup all i needed to do is transfer my apps to itunes. anyway im using icloud now with ios5.0.1 official (dont like jailbreaking so i prefer to wait for official release lol iv just gon on to a different subject now.
long story short when you have ios 5.0.1 just use i cloud
@joseph252100 hmm...it should work. Is your device trying to sync or do something when you right-click? If so, you need to stop the sync and then right-click.
Great for me, you teach me one more thing I dont know from apple, but the bad case from me, I want to move/copy my picture from my iPod Touch to my pen drive...
Hi. I downloaded the latest iTunes and was asked if i want to update my iPhone to ver. 5.0 so i clicked yes. But it says "An error occured whiie backing up this iPhone (-50)." It also says "Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone" so i decided to cancel my update.
When i right click on device (iPhone) as its showed in this video, there is no option for "back up" :(
Do u have any idea? What should i do to update my iPhone w/o any errors.
"Itunes cannot backup Iphone because an unknown error occured."
There's no error code included in that, so I don't know how to go about fixing this! Any ideas? I have very important notes in my Iphone and I really cannot afford to set up my Iphone as a new phone and lose all of that! :(
@ckarasiewicz Well, I'm still unable to back up my phone. I've set up my Iphone as a new phone (had to or else i'd be phone-less!) & lost all my contacts & notes. But besides that, I don't seem to have any trouble syncing. It's just the back up part that I'm still having trouble with. Thanks for your help though. It's not that big of an issue anymore. As long as I'm able to sync, I'm happy. Because frankly, I'm too tired to care about all this confusing Iphone business already! Lol!
@Anthonyr730 seems like it is an iTunes server issue. With the launch of iPhone 4S, I suspect the servers are being taxed. I was able to backup a number of devices and had a friend backup theirs just fine. Keep trying and keep me posted!
@YuGiOhdudes347 this tool creates a backup image of your iPod, iPhone, iPad in whatever state (meaning what is on it) at the time you back it up. Everything that was on it and the place it was at (like apps in folders) gets put back when you restore from backup.
dude you are a lifesaver , this vid makes perfect sense unlike the other 3 i watched prior to this . i have a iphone 3gs & am upgrading to a 4 . obviously i didn't want to lose all my contacts & apps etc .. so when i receive my iphone 4 it will be a mirror of my 3gs once i sync from backup , i dont usually comment on vids but just wanted to let you know , great vid & thanks !!

@singlejen209 your iPod needs to be set to "manually manage music." In iTunes, click on your device in the left side. Look under Options > Manually manage music and video...
If you don't have this checked, if you synced an iPod with one computer and then plugged it into a second computer, it would erase what you had on it and replace it with the music on the second computer. You may want to do a test run to make sure you have everything setup properly first.
@ckarasiewicz i need heeeelp! for some reason when i first got my ipod touch i used MY computer (laptop) to get it set up/started. i restored it for some reason and didnt press *back up* and now whatever i do it wont let me cuz it says "your back up has been currupted" or something! so now i cant put any songs on! can you help i will subscribe to your channel and spread on! i JUST need help! PLEASE! i just got it last month and didnt get warrenty so best buy wont help! HEEEEELPPPPPPP!

@singlejen209 the backup feature allows you to "create an image" of your existing device. For example, say I lost my iPhone and had to get a new one. I would have to go through the process of re-syncing items onto the new iPhone and moving them back into place.
If I created a backup image of my existing phone before I lost it and then happened to lose it, all I would need to do is get a new iPhone and then restore it from the backup I created in iTunes. A copy of what my phone was like.
ckarasiewicz howe come on my iphone when i try to put music on it it says it will erase and sync? like it will remove all my crap on it but do something to it? it also says my iphone is on 2 itunes library..... please reply!
@pkonnoobs you are getting that message because you can only sync your phone with one computer. If you sync it with your home laptop and then try to sync to the work computer, it is wanting to sync only the music on your work laptop - make sense?
If you have songs on one computer and other songs on a second one, your best bet is to copy the music to one hard drive on one computer and then sync.
@Titanotron that part, I'm not sure about. I don't play too many online games. It should save your current state of your iOS device - folder locations, apps, etc... so that you can easily restore to another device, so I would think so.
@Winter96131 when you right-click and select restore, be sure to choose the right back-up that it made. It should put your iPod Touch back to the state it was in at the time of the backup.
@owlman113 it's a back-up tool. You should be able to back-up your phone in its current state and then restore it at a later time. It installs whatever you had on your phone at the time of the back-up.
Hey If I jailbreak my iPad then if all my apps are gone if I connect to my computer and go to device and right click then back up will I get all my apps back?
@MrJazzy646 you need to first backup the device through iTunes. Then if something happens, you can restore it from iTunes. If you don't backup first, you won't be able to restore what you have lost.
@manuelb863 You should be able to follow these steps to let you back-up the iPod. 1. Plug the device in. 2. Once iTunes recognizes it, right-click your iPod, iPad, iPhone, etc... 3. Select "back-up" to start the back-up process.
@Brokenfoodmaster When you create a back-up, it should not delete what is on your iPod. When you restore your iPod from a back-up, it basically erases what is on it and restores it with what you last backed up.
so i downloaded a app and it disapeared and it says i still have it instaled will this make it work again

The best thing I can recommend is to try the backup again - it will create a second backup (basically an image of your device at the time you backed it up). Then whenever you get a new device. Think of going from an iPhone 3G to an iPhone 4S - you can do the restore from backup feature and how you had your iPhone 3G setup along with whatever was on it - would get copied to your iPhone 4S. No resync or moving things around.

Does doing this back up the music, photos and videos as well?

@swaglikekhims it backs up your phone in its current state. So anything that is on it should get restored when you restore from backup.

What happens when you restore your iPhone and lose all your notes from the last time I backed up my iPhone?
How do I get all my notes back? because I lost a lot of important things on there... Dx
SoniKZooM 3 months ago
@SoniKZooM when you create a backup, it saves your phone/iPad in its current state. f you add notes and then don't make a backup and lose your phone, you wouldn't be able to get your notes back.
For something like that, you should use iCloud and turn it on to backup notes to iCloud - meaning when you make a note on your phone and save it, it uploads to the cloud and you can get it on any device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch). I have a separate video on that. Will send you the link.

@joseph252100 hmm...it should work. Is your device trying to sync or do something when you right-click? If so, you need to stop the sync and then right-click.

Hi. I downloaded the latest iTunes and was asked if i want to update my iPhone to ver. 5.0 so i clicked yes. But it says "An error occured whiie backing up this iPhone (-50)." It also says "Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone" so i decided to cancel my update.
When i right click on device (iPhone) as its showed in this video, there is no option for "back up" :(
Do u have any idea? What should i do to update my iPhone w/o any errors.

There's no error code included in that, so I don't know how to go about fixing this! Any ideas? I have very important notes in my Iphone and I really cannot afford to set up my Iphone as a new phone and lose all of that! :(

juleisha123 4 months ago
@juleisha123 following back up with this - were you able to back your iOS device up or are there still issues?
ckarasiewicz 4 months ago
@ckarasiewicz Well, I'm still unable to back up my phone. I've set up my Iphone as a new phone (had to or else i'd be phone-less!) & lost all my contacts & notes. But besides that, I don't seem to have any trouble syncing. It's just the back up part that I'm still having trouble with. Thanks for your help though. It's not that big of an issue anymore. As long as I'm able to sync, I'm happy. Because frankly, I'm too tired to care about all this confusing Iphone business already! Lol!
juleisha123 4 months ago
@Anthonyr730 seems like it is an iTunes server issue. With the launch of iPhone 4S, I suspect the servers are being taxed. I was able to backup a number of devices and had a friend backup theirs just fine. Keep trying and keep me posted!

@Anthonyr730 try restarting your computer and then try it again. I believe that should help resolve the issue.

@YuGiOhdudes347 this tool creates a backup image of your iPod, iPhone, iPad in whatever state (meaning what is on it) at the time you back it up. Everything that was on it and the place it was at (like apps in folders) gets put back when you restore from backup.

singlejen209 5 months ago
@singlejen209 your iPod needs to be set to "manually manage music." In iTunes, click on your device in the left side. Look under Options > Manually manage music and video...
If you don't have this checked, if you synced an iPod with one computer and then plugged it into a second computer, it would erase what you had on it and replace it with the music on the second computer. You may want to do a test run to make sure you have everything setup properly first.

singlejen209 5 months ago
@singlejen209 the backup feature allows you to "create an image" of your existing device. For example, say I lost my iPhone and had to get a new one. I would have to go through the process of re-syncing items onto the new iPhone and moving them back into place.
If I created a backup image of my existing phone before I lost it and then happened to lose it, all I would need to do is get a new iPhone and then restore it from the backup I created in iTunes. A copy of what my phone was like.

pkonnoobs 5 months ago
@pkonnoobs you are getting that message because you can only sync your phone with one computer. If you sync it with your home laptop and then try to sync to the work computer, it is wanting to sync only the music on your work laptop - make sense?
If you have songs on one computer and other songs on a second one, your best bet is to copy the music to one hard drive on one computer and then sync.

Titanotron 5 months ago
@Titanotron that part, I'm not sure about. I don't play too many online games. It should save your current state of your iOS device - folder locations, apps, etc... so that you can easily restore to another device, so I would think so.

@Winter96131 when you right-click and select restore, be sure to choose the right back-up that it made. It should put your iPod Touch back to the state it was in at the time of the backup.

@MrJazzy646 you need to first backup the device through iTunes. Then if something happens, you can restore it from iTunes. If you don't backup first, you won't be able to restore what you have lost.

manuelb863 6 months ago
@manuelb863 You should be able to follow these steps to let you back-up the iPod. 1. Plug the device in. 2. Once iTunes recognizes it, right-click your iPod, iPad, iPhone, etc... 3. Select "back-up" to start the back-up process.

Brokenfoodmaster 7 months ago
@Brokenfoodmaster When you create a back-up, it should not delete what is on your iPod. When you restore your iPod from a back-up, it basically erases what is on it and restores it with what you last backed up.
