• I've never done a Time Machine backup and I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Help!

  I'm a fool. After owning my Macbook for 5 years, I failed to make a single Time Machine backup. I just saved my essential to an external hard drive. I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Big mistake. I want to go back to iOS Capitan, but it does not seem possible. Now, my external hard drive is wiped clean (things are dark). What are my options? If I'm stuck with Sierra?

  If you have downloaded El Capitan, it should always be available in your purchases. Now, you will need to make a backup to backup your personal files.

• Disk backup does not back up

  Yesterdy I've updated for Sierra of MacOs. Everything works well, but since the upgrade, my backup disk refuses to back up. He sees the disc as a "read only"disc." Before the upgrade, it worked normally. What could be wrong and what and how can I change? Thanks in advance.

• Create, save data backup

  Hello

  This is probably a fairly common question, but I looked around and either did not answer or did not understand them. I honestly don't know who. So, without further ADO, here is my question.

  My iPhone becomes quite comprehensive, so I was thinking about the removal of some of the games I have on it to make room for the new. I have a few save data on the apps that I would still be there when the application is downloaded again later. Is there a way to do this?

  Thanks in advance.

• iPhone restore backup encryption bug in iTunes

  First the details of my system:

  El Capitan 10.11.6

  iPhone iOS 6 10.0.2

  iTunes 12.5.1.21

  Steps to reproduce:

  1 backup the by using the encrypted password (current running iOS 10) iPhone

  2. once the backup is complete change password encrypted from A to B

  3. restore the iPhone using the backup.

  The backup cannot be restored with A password or password B.

  I think that most people would say I forgot the password B. You would be a mistake. Password B was stored in my keychain and it wouldn't work. To check that I had the correct password, I downloaded a password free utility cracking. For some reason, these utilities are available for Windows only. I used the utility of tenorshare. Since I was sure I knew the password, I used boxes of prefix and suffix of the utility to verify that the password is correct. The utility shows you only the first 2 characters of your password once he finds her. Since I am sure that I knew the password, I put the first 7 characters of the password in the prefix box password and he assumes that the last of them (which I knew that). Then I put the first 6 characters of the password in the prefix area of password and the last character in the zone suffix and guess the second to the last character (which I knew that too). In both cases, he finds the password, which confirmed that all my characters were correct, but iTunes would not accept. At this point, I was convinced this is an Apple bug, so I googled some more and found this blog https://deciphertools.com/blog/ios-10-backup-password-incorrect/ which confirms:

  "If you recently changed your password backup in iTunes, and iTunes is now reports that 'the password was incorrect' when you try to restore this backup, then we may be able to help."

  There is a small problem affecting backups iOS 10 - sometimes changing password causes backup the password being rejected (both new and old passwords) when you try to use the backup that you did. »

  I was able to solve my problem of password associated with the procedure.

  My backup was too important to wait for a solution possible iTunes. Apple should recognize this problem and have a fix as soon as POSSIBLE.

• no possible backup - lost connection

  Hi all

  just try to create a backup of my iPhone (iOS 10.0.2) using iTunes (12.5.1) on an iMac (mid2010)

  the problem I keep running into is the following: phone is connected via the port USB iTunes recognizes it and the connection is stable. As I try to start the backup on my mac the phone responds and shows the rotation arrows on the top of the screen to indicate that a backup is in progress, but after that 5 seconds iTunes tells me that apparently, the connection was interrupted and the backup may not be completed. I did a backup but i´d like having directly on my drive. any ideas? THX

  pimpdanjo

  I am happy that you said that you use iTunes 12.5.1, as this is required to connect to iOS 10.

  Open iTunes, and then in the menu of iTunes, produce (iTunes on Mac or Windows) > Preferences > devices.  Looking for an iPhone backup here.  If you find one, remove it and then start the backup process again.

• Time machine backup is too large, that is not true, said

  After the upgrade to OS Sierra, Time Machine always tells me that the backup is too big to fit on the external drive that I use. I erased the disc and checked all volumes, I don't want to back up. He always tells me that the backup is 2 TB.

  My boot drive has 155 GB in use, I do not understand why TM attempts to use 2 TB. I've removed the preferences, he always tells me that it is too big. The external drive has 1 TB of free space.

• Delete older backups time machine from the server

  I have a small number of iMacs here that back up using Time Machine on our local network to an external hard drive on an iMac running server. I added a second external hard drive and I say most of the Mac to use instead. Once they have saved once the new drive safely - how can I remove the old backup of the first disc? Is it safe to just delete the sparsebundle to it? Or is there a way to do it properly

  TIA

  Andy

  Yes, it is safe to delete the sparsebundle in the old media from backup after you remove as the backup location and create your 1st upward on the new location. Since your iMac is now pointing to the new backup media, they are more associated in the former. If you have no other Mac backup on old media, you can simply reformat.

  I have problems to restart of Yosemite, after power failure during the new backup, and now HD is also blocked.

  I tried the holding of 'command-r' and 'option' to see if the problem can be resolved or try any boot from a boot disk, my old backup, USB function start - but after a slow long process it all just stops.

  There is software on my HD that I don't want to lose by simply reformatting the computer, because I am now in a different country, far from my house, which is another problem of the Apple Store, to reinstall my OS from Yosemite on the www.

• Backup iphone to mac, but am trying to get you want to synchronize.

  I have backup my iphone to icloud, but I want to be very sure and also create a backup itunes periodically.  So I read about it and it seems pretty easy.  But I have a question:

  When I connect my iphone 6 to my iMac, iTunes open, because it asks me to authorize the computer, I see up on step 3 (I think it's #3) «Sync iPhone...» "and underneath it says"determine what applications to synchronize. "BUT, I don't want to 'sync', I want only to save.  I unplugged the power cord and it stopped in its tracks.

  My question, why is it automatically attempt to synchronize before I have a chance to start the backup?  IS this a normal behavior?

  And I don't want anything from my Mac on my iphone.

  Thank you!

  Probably because you have iTunes automatically sync value. I think that's the default behavior. I do not use Mac, but in Windows, you're going in Edition > Preferences > devices and you put a check mark prevent auto-sync iPhones. There must be a similar setting for Mac. Which should help you to find a way to find out.

  Once you do this, you can connect the device and not to worry about synchronization and then simply click on the Save button after selecting the phone.

• All my messages on my iPhone were mysteriously deleted after I restarted - is it possible to sync my old backup iPhone with my iMessages on my Mac?

  Hello!

  This past weekend, I noticed that my Messages app acted strangely on my iPhone 6. Accordingly, I turned and turn it on again and noticed that all of my posts have disappeared. I then did a hard reset and turned on - still no messages.

  I have my settings to keep my messages forever, what really saddened me to see all of my messages disappeared. In any case, I'm about to restore my backup iPhone on a new phone (6 s). Luckily, I backed up my phone the week last before my messages disappearing.

  I understand that when I restore a backup, everything that happened on my phone since will not appear. However, I have also the Messages on my MacBook Air app, when kept all my messages before and after the mysterious disappearance on my phone. Once I have perform this restore, I was wondering if it is possible to synchronize in any post-restore on my laptop to my phone messages.

  Thank you!

  Congratulations on your new iPhone 6 s! I understand that you want to synchronize the restoration of post messages on your Mac Messages app to your iPhone 6 s.
