2 iTunes Questions of Back-up device

Question #1:

When I backed up my iPhone to iTunes (v.12.3.2) (Mac OS 10.11.6 El Crapitan) last night, the previous backup has been removed without warning. (I can't believe that apple allows to do)

Can someone tell me please how to back up an iOS device in iTunes without losing previous backup?

I looked on all the documents that I could find, and nothing on this subject.

Question #2:

When I right click on a device of backup in iTunes (v.12.3.2) preferences, I see an 'Archive' command, but when I select it, nothing seems to happen.

Does anyone of you can enlighten us on:

• How this is supposed to work?

• is it reliable and stable?

• where do I go to find the said archive, once it is created?

Thanks in advance for your help; I am really at a loss and feeling quite stupid, considering how long I did the trick (and use) Mac.

1. Yes, this is how it works. To save the old backups, you must check them. See point 2.

2. Select (highlight) a backup Archive, and then select. The backup is not moved or copied somewhere else. It is preserved here, just with a tag does not rewrite. Yes, it works.

  • view iTunes Album snaps back to the top

    Hi all, I have a problem with my iTunes, which I fear may now default to iTunes.

    When I press 'play' or double-click a track for 'Album' iTunes snaps me back to the top of my list of album.

    I have the music for 88 days.

    As you can imagine, this could be rather irritating, a lot of the time.

    Is there something I can do? Or something Apple can do, such that go back to the good old days where you could actually watch what you play?

    Yours sincerely,

    Timothy Morton

    Yes, there is an annoying bug. A quick solution is to hit Cmd - L... Will take you to the currently playing song.

    I came here looking for my iTunes annoyance: when I double-click an album, all I want is so that he can play and open this album. Unfortunately, they are not properly handle double-clicks, depending on whether the album was already open, as iTunes is at the forefront and most annoyingly, according to where the album is so vertically scrolled on the screen, it may or may not play and peut or cannot open.  This bug you mentioned also another problem. (Although I only saw him intermittently).

  • Missing iTunes Library only on 1 device

    After listening to music all day on my iPhone iTunes 6 I exit the application and came back two hours later in an EMPTY library.  I googled this question instructions and saw me go into itunes (MAC or Windows) and try to get back to the previous folder. However, when I pulled up to my itunes on my MAC all my music is there.  On a device (phone), I have an empty, and on another library (MAC) is no problem.  Help, please!

    It's strange. Normally, your device will be synchronized with your Mac and will transfer all new purchases on your device when it is connected via the cable of the lightning. If it isn't auto-sync, try to go to iTunes > phone tap top-left icon > and click on synchronize in the lower-right.

  • How can multiple users with unique IDS share iTunes game if the primary device is not in the room?

    I have a pregnant House Sonos and iTunes game on my computer, but my husband can't use it unless my device is turned on and the House.  If I also get the family plan of Apple's music that will solve the problem?  Also it can download new music in its iTunes which both, we can share or must all be on my computer?  Thank you

    I can't promise I can help you Janice but I want to just make sure that I understand your question before trying to help:

    1: Sonos is a configuration of wireless speakers, so I'm not sure why your computer must be in the same room unless you have very low WiFi - could you please clarify?

    2: music Apple (Please be aware, it's different and separate iTunes Match) family membership allows up to six persons to access their own individual Apple music account on their own devices for a slightly longer price so I'm not sure that would solve your problem that your husband does not really benefit if it didn't have its own device (s)?

    3: where would be the husband you download this music to? If it was for a local computer in iTunes then only he would have access without set up sharing. If it was his own iCloud, which could be shared easily. If it was on your computer, that would be accessible by both you regardless of Apple Id.

    I feel a bit woolly, but hopefully a little more information, I can help you further.

  • Why iTunes opens after an iOS device is disconnected?

    I recently deselected the option to open iTunes when my iOS devices connect to my MacBook and indeed, iTunes doesn't open when either becomes connected. That option seems missing from the iTunes latest version update, but I digress.

    The problem I'm facing is happening when I unplug the MacBook is iOS device: iTunes opens immediately after the unit disconnects independently to know if the device was manually ejected via iTunes before you leave.

    A few details about my products:

    MacBook (13-inch, aluminum, late 2008) | 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo | 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 | NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M 256 MB | 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA HDD

    Mac OS X 10.11.5

    iTunes 12.4.0.119

    iPhone 6 more, 128 GB

    iPad 16 GB Wi - Fi + cell Air

    iOS 9.3.2

    The answer to my question was, "iScrobbler cause iTunes to reopen once your iOS device disconnects". All I had to do was leave iScrobbler to my problem to solve.

  • After iTunes update, none of my devices are most recognized

    So I use Windows 10 and I have an old iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.2 I use mainly to keep all my music on. I've recently updated my older version of iTunes to version 12.4.0.119, but after that it does not recognize the phone more. The USB cable works again - I can play the music that is on the phone in the car using the cable, and when plugged into my computer, I can still see the photos and the phone always fresh. iTunes just does nothing, so I can't put music on it more.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but it did nothing. When I don't run a diagnosis in iTunes, a problem came under the "Ports" section that says "no iPod, iPhone or iPad found. I tried to look in this and read somewhere that I may need to update the drivers or something. (I have a lot of knowledge or experience with this). But go to control panel-> device-> Controllers USB Manager, there is nothing there for Apple. When the phone is plugged in, the only thing that appears is 'Apple iPhone' under 'portable '.

    Any advice on what I should do now? So far I've never really had unmanageable problems, but I would go back to put new music on my phone.

    Thank you.

    If your iOS device does not appear in iTunes, try the following:

    1. Open Control Panel > Device Manager
    2. Plug in your device
    3. Locate Bus USB Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
      It is also possible that the device may appear under imaging devices, portable devices or other devices or as a device USB of MTB.
    4. Right-click and select software update of the driver...
    5. Click Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\Drivers or
      C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    7. Click on let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer
    8. Click on Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
    9. Click Next, then close and exit the Device Manager

    To step 3 above, open the Device Manager. Expand one of the articles that are listed.

    • USB Bus controllers
    • Imaging devices
    • Portable devices
    • Other devices

    Plug in the appliance. You should hear the telltale Windows sound device connection and a Division must acquire a new entry. This should be your device. It cannot be labelled properly at this point. If you do not hear a suspicious noise cable damaged.

    Or try If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod - Apple Support

    If not try a complete tear down and rebuild iTunes in accordance with the resolution of the problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    Or try to go back to the last version of iTunes that has worked for you. See the programs installation of iTunes to download links. If you roll back to 12.4.0.119 to 12.3.3.17 or 12.3.2.35, for example, then you will also need restore the database of the library in the manner described in the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. The tip makes suggestions to reintroduce recent purchases, so at worst, you lose a few meters or a newly created playlist.

  • ITunes can't find my device

    I've just updated to iTunes 12.4 on my mac under OS X 10.11.4 and cannot find my device from iTunes.

    The device, I am trying to connect is an iPhone running iOS 9.3.2 6.

    I'm doing something wrong or should I go back to an earlier version of iTunes?

    iTunes should be able to connect to your iPhone regardless of his version, I'm under 12.4 as well and everything works perfectly. Your USB cable + iPhone connect to iTunes on other computers?

    If not, I think that your either your USB connector or your port of lightning can be damaged or dusty.

    If Yes, then we are dealing with a problem of software on your Mac (please reply if this is the case).

  • 12.3.3.17 iTunes could not connect to devices AirPlay (Airport Express)

    After the update to iTunes 12.3.3.17 I can connect is more to Apple Airport Express.

    I updated iTunes to 12.3.3.17 on both computers:

    1. Windows 7 64-bit SP1 / iTunes 12.3.3.17 64-bit

    2 Windows 10 64 - bit / iTunes 12.3.3.17 64-bit

    On the Windows 10 computer, iTunes can connect and play all three Airport Express.  An iPod Touch can also flow to each of them.

    After the upgrade to 12.3.3.17 on the Windows 7 SP1 computer, iTunes can see all three Airport Express and they are not greyed out.  But when an any of them are selected in the dialog of speaker, iTunes tries to connect and after 30 seconds results in the error "an error occurred when connecting to the device AirPlay"xxx". The network connection timed out' and the selection is then grayed out.

    The network card on this PC, the router, and all three Airport Express everything seems to work properly as I can deliver on all of them using software third 'wing' with other applications as the source.  I can also control iTunes on the PC wirelessly from iPod with the Remote app.

    I just can no longer spread to one of the Express from the airport directly from iTunes after the 12.3.3.17 update.

    Any thoughts?

    Well, problem solved (mostly) by a lot of trial and error and it turns out be a problem of WF on the UDP ports must be open for Hello.  It was a bit of a surprise, because the Airfoil program (third party utility AirPlay) uses also Hello (that works).

    The Windows Firewall has a rule entry of inbound traffic for Hello to port 5353 UDP.  Changing the rule to allow all Ports (UDP) does the job.  So I studied what UDP ports were actually necessary for the Hello and Airplay and amended the rule again, this time replacing all Ports with these specific UDP port numbers: 554 (1900), 5289 5298, 5350, 5351, 5353, 49159, 49163

    However, that did not yet work so I ended up coming back to the all Ports configuration.

    If someone uses the firewall native Windows (preferably Windows 7, but probably the same for 8 and 10), I would be interested to know what UDP ports allows your Windows Hello firewall.

    Control Panel > Windows Firewall > advanced settings > inbound rules > Hello

    I had certainly not changed firewall settings before this update to iTunes (and AirPlay worked just hours before) and know not why the update seems to have changed the Windows Firewall settings, but that helps to explain why the Windows 10 computer worked fine after the update, because she was using the McAfee Security Suite firewall.

    Thank you!

  • How do I restart the question VCENTRE 5.5 device

    I currently have two servers ESXi VMWare vSphere 4 Essentials x and will upgrade to 5.5 soon and ongoing.

    I've already updated my server vcentre for the new device vcentre I have running on one of the servers very well.

    I have the new vsphere 5.5 client installed and works very well also.

    My question is this:

    If I stop the ESXi server who runs currently vcentre unit how can I vcentre restarted again when I go back to the server?

    Is there a way to do this because I don't want to be more than the time needed for maintenance I have to do on the server.

    I fear that I will get looked out and not be able to get the device vcentre began as there would be no way to do it.

    I would appreciate all your comments and thank you in advance.

    The vCenter Server Appliance can be cast on the ESXi host and any other virtual computer. Just use the vSphere Client to connect to the host on which the VCSA is registered and start it. Just make sure that you have both versions of vSphere Client installed on your system, one for the ESXi 4.x hosts and the other corresponding to your version of vCenter Server.

  • Question about backing up the Lenovo factory

    Hi, I have an E530, I have a question about the Lenovo factory back, I'm a little unsure of the difference between the bootable media and just backup data.

    Is the bootable media just the equivalent to a disk of windows 7?

    the option data backup all currently installed on your laptop?

    I tried with the two checked options the other day and I got to the point where he solicited for disc DVD - RW 6 so I cancelled because I didn't know how much in total he would do, would be nice if he told me so I could better prepare.

    Also, if I was ever to use the data disks, would you boot from the startup disk you did first then also boot from CD 1 of the data disks?

    Hi James,

    We create these disks to customers of all time.  In our case we have Win 7 Pro, pre-loaded.  Win 8 discs are already included with the device.

    The process of factory recovery disks will create a set of disks [the E530 in the USA, to 4 DVD - Yes it would be nice to know how much to advance] will allow you to restore your machine out of the box.  The first disc it creates is a boot disk - you start from this when you start the recovery process - that's all it is. No file data/images for the restore process.  Other disks contain image files needed for restoration.  This does not save the user data. It is a different process.

    Since you started & cancelled the process, I'm not sure that it will allow you to re - burning the discs.  Because of the MS license restrictions, you are allowed to burn discs once.  We got all the way on the last drive and had the process fail [we don't know why - maybe bad disc?] and we cannot redo records because he thinks that we have successfully created their.  So, we have to call Lenovo support and ask them to send us a set of disks in Windows 7.

    I hope this helps...
