iTunes backup triggered a backup to iCloud?

Hello.

While safeguarding my iPad on my Mac, I noticed that it ALSO supported it until iCloud. I always check the local time to the top and noted that the iCloud back until a marked like a minute before that I had done on my Mac. How is - it is possible, or have I missed some obvious documentation?

I'm positive, I have not clicked iCloud backup in iTunes.

Thanks - so confused.

Holly

Well, you can not save to iCloud by clicking on anything in iTunes. Where are you seeing this backup information? It is when you are on the summary in iTunes screen, and when you have the selected backup option?

It shows both backups right below the other, such as:

Today hh: mm PM This Computer

Today hh: mm PM iCloud

The device has been connected to a power source, on the lock screen and Wifi just before your connect to your Mac?

See you soon,.

  • Restore the iTunes app data backup and backup to iCloud

    My iPhone 6 has been stolen. I got iCloud backup enabled, and the last backup was 2 days.

    I do a full backup encrypted via iTunes it also sometimes manually, the last time was 1 month ago.

    I bought a 6 new iPhone as a replacement. When I tried to restore from your backup, everything (photos, applications, settings) seems to be restored very well, but most of my applications (not all) were missing from their app data.

    More importantly, Google Authenticator, which had all my keys to two factors and in hindsight, an app that follows the historic activity and has experienced a year of daily data stored on the device value authentication.

    I don't understand why it affected only a few applications, but not all. Most applications requiring a login account is no longer connected, makes me think that their data was not were properly restored either. I found one or two applications that had some settings restored properly, but most of my apps seem to be returned to a State of the new facility.

    I tried to re-do the restoration of iCloud again and got the same results.

    I'll try the iTunes backup restore then, but even if it works I would miss even 1 month of a data value. Is it possible to recover this data? I guess that that's actually in the iCloud backup 2 - old days, but for some reason any, that he is unable to restore.

    Is it possible to combine the full restoration of iTunes and then update with the most recent data backup to iCloud app?

    Update: when I tried to restore the iTunes backup I received this error a few minutes:

    Is it because the original phone was an iPhone 6 and the new phone is a 6s? Is it possible to access my backup?

  • Backup in videos and photos as iTunes backup

    My son has a ton of pictures (and videos) on his iPhone 5s. There are currently on IOS 8.x. I want to upgrade his phone to the standard ISO 9.x. If I connect to iTunes and do a "backup", everything on the phone (including photos and video) gets backup upward? I know that when I connect my iPhone, the Photo app opens asking me to download my pictures from my phone. I know that it is a good idea as well, but if I skip that step and JUST do the iTunes backup, I know where I have to erase and restore the backup? I will answer all my photos as well?

    Thank you.

    A particular interest should be 10 point above which explains how iOS and iTunes backups differ.

Both, however, can be stored in your iTunes for syncing your devices.

  • Backup both iCloud and Mac iOS devices?

    I went to a Genius Bar appointment today where the genius told me I can't back up my devices iOS by connected directly to my Mac. He said that the backup to iCloud over wifi is the same thing and I need to do both. He said if I've changed devices, I could do the restoration completely to iCloud, I don't have to restore from a Mac or time Machine.

    Can it be true? What applications I, who hold their own data? Can I count on iTunes store up to iCloud?

    Secondly, whenever I plug in my device iOS directly on my mac, iTunes/Photos wonder if I want to import a large number of photos, and then I end up with duplicates in my library of Photos.

    Of course, it is true. Since the launch of iCloud, Apple gives you the ability to save your iCloud or your like before Mac iOS devices. The advantage to backup your iPhone to iCloud, is that a backup is performed automatically when you load your iPhone and it is connected to a Wi - Fi network. See-> about backups in iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support

    Note that you can do iCloud backups backups and iTunes at the same time if you wish. When you plug your iPhone to your Mac, iTunes will keep the possibility to make a local backup if you want to.

    Regarding your second question, I suggest to create a second thread with it, so that you don't mess this thread with different themes. This will allow people with the same issue find the answer quickly.

  • Don't turn off the misdeeds of the option of backup (storage iCloud) the application or at the end upward in a data loss?

    I'm having a total allocated 5Gig my storage space, in my iPhone5s (16 GB, last update 9.3.2). I have backups for like almost most of my applications. So I tried entering space by turning off backups, for some of the apps. Now who will be harmful?

    In other words, for example say I have backup for WhatsApp and then turning off, I'm freeing storage space. So once I have turn off backup, what actually happens? It does not store messages or conversations in the cloud?

    Adding to the question above, what is the difference of the backup power off and removing documents and data out of the app?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    To your first question: no backups in iCloud means that if you don't back up your device with iTunes on your laptop, an accident or problems, you will not be able to recover your data and your data will be lost. But turn it off doesn't cause any loss of data, that you are prompted if you want to keep what you have in your device or not (always answer ' keep on my iPhone ")

    Secondly, the removal of the information from the application deletes your progression of game, or Safari bookmarks, or attached or any other app login information. It deletes the data on your device.

    Synchronize the iTunes app.  You may need to remove the application on the device first otherwise iTunes may think it's already there.  If it is a current application, you can also re - download it directly from the iTunes Store with your device via iCloud.

  • Apple ID asked when restoring from a backup to iCloud

    Hi all

    First time poster, long drive date...

    I just updated from an iPhone (new) 6-6 s (reconditioned). During the process of "ICloud restore backup" on my device of 6s, he asked a password to *, in addition to my password for iTunes/App Store.

    At first I thought it was a remnant of the previous owner still present on the device, but after Googling * it seems that this account is not isolated to my question / unit. It doesn't seem to be a solution or explanation on the forums, but exactly the same problem. Have I possibly bought a reconditioned unit that was previously Jailbroken? Is anyway of deletion * completely from the device/account?

    I tried to erase content and settings a couple of times and yet one time, through the process of installing but * is always asked. Support or people who may have additional information would be appreciated.

    Whenever people download an itunes - song, ringtone, or app, as the software has an identification label. Tag contains information of apple ID, to which it belongs.

    So when you back up old phone to icloud - icloud server sees this tag and to download over restoring the backup to icloud, due respect for copyright Apple it asks you to enter the password for this software. Usually, this is a song/s downloaded illegal in some country file sharing applications. You now have the choice to enter the password if the password is known to you or skip this step and the apple server will not download this software on your phone. If copyright protection agencies read these forums for people like you who would be an easy catch. Has completely no differences this phone, you restore, you can try to restore your old phone - same thing will happen.

  • iPhone does not backup on iCloud despite the library on

    My iPhone is not backup, despite the option is on. He used to work very well with my iPhone 6 and Macboo pro. Now when I get the pictures on my laptop I don't see the new photos.

    Please check that your device is correctly connected to the wireless internet (settings > wifi) and is plugged into a power source, check also that you have enough space in iCloud for your back upward.

    You can check the space available in settings > iCloud > storage and the space needed for the next backup to the settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage > backups > appliance > Back Up Options > next backup size (wait for the spinning until the gear icon).

    Assuming that you are eligible for iCloud upward, you should try a forced first stop, hold down the buttons side in top and home together until the unit stops, then restart by pressing the side/up button.

    Then, try to connect the device to a new location (different WiFi network)

    If your backup continues to fail, you can try to disable the backup on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > backup), reboot the device and then turn on BackUp on new.

    If this help not disable backup again, remove your existing back to the top of settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage > backup > this device (scroll down) > delete backup, restart the device and then turn on BackUp.

    If you are unable to make a return to the top, try to connect on iCloud (settings > iCloud (scroll down) > Sign Out (you will need to enter your password at this point), restart the device and sign in iCloud to settings > iCloud.)

    The next thing to try would be to restore your network settings. (Settings > general > reset > reset network settings)

    Reset your network settings will erase your cell phones and wireless network settings, including saved networks, passwords for wifi and VPN settings, that you can use. It will affect to the Internet but will not be an impact on telephone services because these settings are automatically configured by your carrier. It may take a few moments to enter again all your network settings, but it shouldn't cause you any major problems. If you are comfortable re - enter your network settings, you can try this step earlier in the troubleshooting procedure, i.e. after the forced shutdown suggested above.

    If this does not help, try to disable some elements for the back upward in a model to try to establish if your problem is caused by specific data on your device. You can do with settings > iCloud > storage > storage management > backup > appliance > Back Up Options.

    If you are still not able to perform a backup from iCloud, you can try to restore your phone which you should do by making an iTunes backup via your computer and restore from that.

    Be able to go back to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you have access to a computer or rarely have access to one, however unless you need specifically to use iCloud to go back, you'll find a backup on iTunes much more convenient and possibly more reliable. However if you save up to iTunes be sure to encrypt the back upward if you want to keep your data on health and passwords etc.

  • Cannot restore the backup to iCloud. Stuck on "remaining time: estimate.

    I bought an iPhone 6s a month ago. Saturday, the screen is dead - they said it was a bad card, so they gave me a new. Initially, the restoration of iCloud seemed to work very well, but some of my app data has not loaded up. These data are really important to me, so I thought I could restore the device again and see if it would transfer the data. Now it is stuck on "remaining time: estimated...» "FOREVER.

    I tried the hard reset a dozen times. I tried to restore back to factory settings. I tried to load the old backups. No matter how long I leave Restoration - I left it all night - I I found with the message "cannot restore backup iCloud," no matter what backup I use. I talked to Apple Care. No one can understand why it does not work. The guy at the Genius Bar said it might have to do with the fact that my carrier settings were not switched correctly when they gave me the new device. He has updated and was told to wait another day and try again. I did this. It STILL gets stuck on screen and didn't budge!

    What could possibly go wrong? Why does a job the first time and now this? The only thing I can think is that it is a problem of iCloud... So frustrating! Help, please!

    Hello CallRinny,

    I understand that you have a question about your iTunes backups and that you should use. Back on which covers.

    In general, an iTunes backup will cover pretty much everything on your iPhone. The best thing to watch over it, it's what doesn't iTunes back upwards and which covers the encrypted backup. Take a look at the information below to clarify this. I would also do that applications will be recorded in your iTunes library, so when you restore your backup, apps will sync back to the wire in one sitting instead to download on the App Store.

    backup iTunes

    On your Mac or PC, you can make a backup of your device in iTunes. Synchronize your device with your computer is not the same as performing a backup.

    An iTunes backup includes almost all settings and data from your device. An iTunes backup does not include:

    • Content of the iTunes and App Store or directly downloaded from iBooks PDF files (you can save this content using transfer purchases in iTunes.)
    • Synchronized content from iTunes, as imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books and photos
    • Photos already stored in the cloud, like My Photo Stream and iCloud photo library
    • Tap Settings ID
    • Settings and information Apple pay
    • Data activity, health, and keychain (to save this content, you will need to use iTunes backup encrypted ).

    Learn How to perform backups in iTunes, how to find them on your Mac or PC, and how to delete backups you no longer need.

    Let me know if this clears it for you.

  • I took the SIM card of my 5s and put it in my 6 s and used an iTunes backup. If I have my 5 s factory reset it will do the same to my 6s?

    So I got an iPhone 5S for about two years. I wanted to update so I got the iPhone 6s for Christmas. The Christmas day, after two hours of poor internet connection, have to update iTunes and having my iCloud backups do not work because they were on iOS 9.2 and iPhone 6s, I am on iOS 9.1, I started the 6s upward as new and updated updated to iOS 9.2. * After that, I took my nano off the old 5s iPhone sim card and put it in the iPhone 6 s, then I used the iTunes backup.*

    After all this was done I was enjoying the hell out of my new phone and all its features fantasies and what not. But I had a thought, now that I got a new phone I could use my old 5s as more than a games/iPod phone.

    So my question is this:

    If I factory reset my iPhone 5 s and wipe your own will, which are the same in my iPhone 6 s even though they are both still connected? (what I mean is, for example, if I changed/added a note to my 6 sec it would seem on my 5 institutions). My concern is that I always use the same sim card that was in my iPhone 5 s. I do not want to reset the 5 s and then have it do the same thing on my new 6 s.

    Or can I go to manage the devices on my Apple ID and take the 5 s out of it, then factory reset 5s.

    No, the deletion of your old phone will have no effect on your new phone.
