If I save my phone on iTunes, can I clear my phone and then reconnect to itunes and "restore back to the top", without losing any info?

Verizon is telling me to do this because I have weird battery problems.  They say it's maybe because I'm updating my iphone in wifi instead of using itunes plugged into a computer.

Thank you!

Yes, you can backup your device in iTunes and restore this backup. For detailed instructions, see this support document. Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

  • 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).

  • What should I do so that I can make a routine (monthly) BACK to the top without having to allow a program that is not properly validated?

    Since July of this year, when I try to back up my computer to HP Envy 17 laptop I get a pop-up window asking if I want to allow the following program to make changes to my computer.  The program is: Microsoft Windows Backup/Windows Hardware Driver verification / valid from 07/12/2009 to 03/07/2011.  Because the validation is obviously outdated, I consider the program run out of appropriate verification, but I can't back up my computer without the program.

    Hewlett-Packard said the problem probably occurs because the computer was missing an update of windows.  Updates happen automatically without my intervention.  I bought the new computer, directly from HP in the month of August, 2011 (after the date of validation of program pop up) with Windows 7 Ultimate installed and had no problem backup of my files to a CD until July of this year.  I believe that the problem may be the result of a rather than a missed update windows update.  What should I do so that I can make a routine (monthly) BACK to the top without having to allow a program that is not properly validated?

  • iPhone 6 Plus with IOS9 impossible to restore back to the top with iTunes on Windows Vista 12.1.2. 5 years of data lost?

    Hi guys

    I was really grateful for any help on this, I am really at my wits end.

    So my iPhone 6 more than 128 GB camera packed a few days ago. I made an appointment to repair/replace the Genius Bar and prior to the appointment back up everything on my phone to itunes on my Windows Vista laptop. All 100 + GB of it. I will mention at this stage, nothing has been saved to icloud (silly me!)

    Apple is good enough to replace my iPhone as it was still under warranty. I plugged my new iPhone forward to my laptop to restore to the last backup, in order to receive a message in order to synchronize with the iPhone I have to update iTunes to the latest version. No problem, I thought. I checked for the last download iTunes to receive a message that iTunes is up to date... At this point, I started to panic. So I tried to download the latest version of iTunes from Apple website only to be told that iTunes 12.3 works only with Windows 7 or later... AAAHHHHHHH!

    I literally my life on this phone. 5 years worth of data just gone. I can't downgrade the IOS on the phone, and I can't update iTunes on my laptop.

    Is there any fine people out there with a solution to this?

    Thank you in advance.

    Mark

    Brand...

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the minimum requirement is Windows 7 and iTunes 12.3.3...

  • I can never make a lot of space in my hard drive after back to the top

    I regularly save on a hard disk that is attached to Lightroom.  What I've noticed, is the amount of space that I have left is still declining.  After the backup, I used to have over 200 GB of the available MBP 768 GB retina, now, I rarely more than 100 GB.  At some point I'll have no space left at all.  I don't know that I'm doing things correctly.  I noticed that there are duplicate files when I export the. DNG my 645Z or. My A7RII ARW.  So I file raw in LR, the ARW and the .xmp that have been exported (I still name them).  My habit of the end to create more space on my hard drive is to find the .dng and .arw files in the finder, back up to an external hard drive and then remove them from my MBP.  I do not touch other files not named.  What I find good is that even with the hard drive attached, some files are displayed as missing picture.  I can remedy this with a cover of Time Machine, I did a time machine to the top until I backed up (something I always do) images in lightroom.

    Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  What is the best way to ensure that I have a lot of space?  I can't just buy new laptops all the time when I run out of space.  I save most of my images finished PSCC at the highest quality jpg, so the finished images that are not take total amount of space, but these are not archived on LR that I prefer to use the tag system which uses Mac.

    The best approach I've found is always import as of the segregation of records to your home. Make sure that these are backed up by time machine or another mechanism for backup and then if you are not actively using the images in a dated file more copy set in an external hard drive where you keep the same year and the date structure separated. Then in Lightroom, it is a simple case of right (or control), click the folder that you moved in the sidebar of library and select "update folder location" and that it points to the new location of the folder on the external drive. All your images must be accessible as long as external is attached. Now you can remove the folder from your internal hard drive and find space (don't forget to empty the trash).

    My main machine is a retina with a 256 GB drive and I easily maintain a 100 of 1000 image catalog Lightroom on it in addition to Photoshop and many other CC software I use (first for most). Most of my images and video life on a large RAID array, but my most recent images months living inside. Easily, you should be able to work with a 768 GB internal. You delete old backups of catalog in Lightroom? By default, Lightroom creates backups of the catalogues that makes every week or so next to the file catalog in a folder "Backups". You don't need to keep a large number of these backups autour. I usually keep only 2 or 3.

    In short - you can't

    IF you have a computer with iTunes on which you did a prior backup - the phone will be recognized and iTunes offer todo backup before it clears your device - that - except if you know the access code the content cannot be saved

    Make a backup of each phone to iTunes or iCloud (do not forget to use your Apple ID or personal computer), then do whatever your carrier wants do you to change numbers if that's your intention, then restore these backups on the device of the "other."

    Since the update to El Capitan, during the scrolling of the screen guard snapping back to the top of the Web page. How can I stop this?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • My reminderfox module missing after firefox update. How can I reinstall without losing any data?

    my module of Fox reminder disappeared after updating firefox. I can install this add-on again, but then I lose all the data that existed before the update. How can I reinstall without losing any data?

    Back up your ReminderFox data before reinstalling. This is stored in a separate file in the folder of the parameters active Firefox (also known as your Firefox profile folder). You can find this file by using a button on the page of troubleshooting information. Either:

    • Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table, click on "view file". Look for a folder named reminderfox and copy it somewhere safe.

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.
