Is it possible no pictures of backup in a backup of the iPhone?

My photos are already stored on my iCloud account, so I don't think I need to save it with my backups of the iPhone. This will save space on my hard drive, because my device is locked and iCloud backups are not allowed. Is it possible not to store everything on my camera, which I prefer not to "waste" space on my hard drive, backup of my photos.

According to the safeguards in iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support, photos are not included in backups, if they are already stored in iCloud, in my photo stream or iCloud photo library.

  • iPhone 7 tones don't synchronize from a backup of the iPhone 6

    I've just updated to iphone 7 + a 6. I got ringtones on my iPhone for the years I've done previously. But now I can't have them on the new 7 +. I made a backup of the 6, but they did not transfer. When I plug the 6 I see them in "ringtones" in iTunes, but I can't bring it to drag-and - drop or move anywhere in a library in iTunes to put them on the 7 +. I'm really frustrated! Someone knows how to fix?

    your tone should already by in your ITunes library...  I guess that are customized to you have created... you should be able to synchronize them via iTunes on your new phone.

  • Cannot restore the backup of the iPhone

    I just did a DFU restore on my iPhone 5s. I am running Windows 7. I have created a complete PC Backup in iTunes that is listed in the devices list in the preferences.  When I try to restore this backup on the restored phone, that the backup is not available in the drop-down menu of the backups.  Only my iPad is here.  I think that remember me something related to the backup that was created with an older version of iOS.  The phone 9.2, I think it was an upgrade after the DFU.  My iPad has 9.2.1 and I thought they were on the same version.  Anyway, how to restore the backup that is listed in the devices?  I have not either a backup for this phone.  I have to downgrade the phone to the previous version of iOS?  This seems strange to me.  Or maybe that I have to get the phone on instead of 9.2 9.2.1?  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    As far as I know, iOS 9.2.1 is a beta, so maybe it's the cause.

    BTW, discuss software in beta on a public forum is not a good idea.

  • Hello. Is it possible to make a backup of the Pandoras Box Cd rom copy.?

    I have the original and the copy is for me.

    I made a copy sometimes, back, which I thought was right but now at mid-way through the game it stops working and I have tried the disk copy on my home and work PC so I guess that the error is on the copy.

    I really love this game and use the original for more than 12 years so it's to be!

    Please can you tell me if it is possible to make a copy that is feasible and, if so, how? I think I used the last Roxio cd Copier attempt but after watching im going online account that maybe the game is protected? and so I need to do a bit more that just a basic "copy CD". ? Any assistance received with gratitude and thanks for reading this.

    PS. I tried to buy an original, but finds him not available online to the United Kingdom!

    Thanks again

    I don't know if this particular game CD is protected against copying. According to the balance of probabilities, it is. And I don't know which particular method or methods has been or have been used.

    Take a look on

    http://www.SlySoft.com/en/

    and see if one of their products, alone or in combination with others, will allow you to make a backup copy of the game.

    Note that if the original disk is very readable, the copy cannot correct errors; However, the result may be usable.

  • Archive a backup of the iPhone via iTunes with Windows

    I signed up to beta test 10 iOS, however before that I am required to 'archive', a 'backup' or my current iOS...

    I use the latest version of iTunes on Windows 7, and we cannot right click and select "Archive".

    What is the right way, or is there another solution? Otherwise it means that all the users of Windows cannot be testers...

    Thank you!

    I saw this once before. I don't know what the solution is. I suggest that you use the beta Web site to contact someone to ask this question. You cannot discuss the beta software in the public debate.

  • Passwords and backup of the iPhone

    Until recently, I thought that this backup an iPhone to the computer via USB / iTunes / encryption was the only way to get passwords and other confidential data synchronized between the phone and my Mac.

    Isn't it true?

    I ask because I saw a piece on a web site focused on the Mac touting the virtues of back-up via iCloud, which I do not because I want to have the data on my phone.

    Is this the case or not? Who turn in iCloud sync encryption disabled and therefore disables data Keychain synchronization?

    [I use a new iPhone 6 + and El Capitan].

    iCloud backups are encrypted automatically. As you know, you set a password to encrypt a backup iTunes on your own.

  • Backups of the iPhone?

    Hey does anyone know how to open iPhone backup files on a PC/read them? I found, they are stored in the folder, but it is all symbols and I want to be able to open my text on my PC history (it's for a project I'm working on and I had rather not screenshot several years value of SMS) thank you for your time and if the questions been answered elsewhere I apologize (20 minutes is my limit for the research question and answers of others)

    There are some 3rd party programs that claim to be able to read these files. They are not intended to be used in the manner you describe, they are intended to restore an iOS device. They are of SQLite database files. You can try one of the 3rd party to see if they are suitable for your needs. Most have a minor cost associated with them.

  • Pictures are erased icloud when I reset the iPhone? Want to give MOM the old clear iPhone of my stuff

    I want to give to my mother one of my old iPhones and supported everything to iCloud. When I reset the phone to give him, photos disappears from the Cloud? I don't have a MAC, will it save the photos on my PC first? TIA

    If you're talking about a regular backup iCloud, I strongly recommend that your also import your photos to your PC before you wipe the phone:

    IMPORTING PHOTOS - WINDOWS/MAC

    The backup is related to your iCloud ID, not your device, it will be perfectly safe. It is simply not a good idea to rely on a backup for archiving your photos. If the backup has been altered, for example, and could not be used to restore another device?

    Once you have backed up the device to iCloud and also imported your photos, and then follow the instructions in this link before giving the phone to your mother:

    Prepare your device for sale or to give

  • I am backing up my new iphone more than 6 s. It won't let me select any backup, indicating there is no backup that is compatible with the IOS 9.0.2 version. The backup is the IOS 9.2 (which is the latest version on my iphone 4S).

    I'm trying to set up my new iPhone more than 6 s. When I get to the backup process, he does allow you to choose a backup. He says, there is no backup that is compatible with the version of IOS 9.0.2. The last backup is my iPhone 4S (IOS 9.2).

    If the backup of the iPhone 4S has been with iOS 9.2, then you will need to update the new 6sPlus iPhone is iOS 9.0.2. You can use an old backup iOS on a recent iOS phone, but not the reverse. Set up the 6sPlus of the iPhone as a new device, and then update the iOS to the 9.2. After that, go to settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings. That will bring the Wizard Setup again and you will be able to restore your backup iOS iPhone 4S 9.2.

    Thank you.

    There will be only one backup in iCloud for any device. iCloud backups are incremental, but each new incremental backup replaces the previous one. They are not cumulative because who would use quickly to the top of the default free people 5 GB of space.

    Is there no backup showing in the storage area in your iCloud for this device account, then he never supported.

  • Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Right?

    Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Can someone please clarify?

    If you want your photos backed up, you must import them into the photos on the computer application that synchronize you with. iCloud photo library is a repository for all the photos for a given iCloud ID. However, it is not required for the care of your photos. I do not use iCloud photo library - import my photos into the library of Photos on my Mac.

    A backup of your device iCloud will save your current film, but if you remove anything from this film, then it will not be available for retrieval at a later date, because backups replace the previous backup version. A backup is so not an archive safe for your photos or videos.

    Photo stream keeps the last 30 days or 1000 photos taken with your camera if you have Photo Stream on, but once again, it's a temporary storage that gets crushed. Photo stream is intended to provide a method of sharing photos between the signed devices on the same iCloud account, but is not intended as an archive.

    Import your pictures and videos on a computer means that all photos and videos are kept in a library on your computer and will be accessible. It is the only safe way to archive your photos:

    PHOTO IMPORT IOS ON MAC/PC

    I need to change the location of backup for my LR catalog, but don't consider it as an option in the settings of the catalogue or LR preferences.  Is it possible to do so without creating a new catalog?
