Is ITunes Backup Better Than ICloud

Mar 21, 2012

When I get my new iPad, I'll need to get my content from my iPad 1 as discussed elsewhere here. It seems, from what I'm hearing, it's easier to just backup from iTunes. Not everything is backed up via iCloud and people are having to get the rest of their "stuff" from iTunes.

I don't need to have my content sync'd with other devices so maybe I should delete iCloud and stay with iTunes which means I'll have to hook up to iTunes on a regular basis to sync rather than just a plug-in.

Plus, I don't know if iTunes has a limit for keeping content whereas iCloud has a limit and they charge for extra storage space.

Backup To Both ICloud & ITunes

Apr 14, 2012

Not clear on this but if I backup my iPad to iCloud can I also back it up to iTunes or is it just one or the other? Will my paid apps still be in iTunes if I back up to iCloud? Should or could I back up to both and would my apps still be able to be retrieved from both iTunes and iCloud? Haven't used iCloud yet and everything is backed up in iTunes.

Rebuilt My Home PC But Kept My ITunes Library On A Seperate Drive From My OS - Backup Doesn't Backup?

Apr 23, 2012

Alright, so I had a problem where I rebuilt my home PC but kept my iTunes library on a seperate drive from my OS, so I still kept it. Then, when I'd finished rebuilding my machine, I installed iTunes and told it to use the same directory as it had previously for the library. Of course, it didn't do that, it created a whole new folder within that folder, and ignored all the previous library data. No big deal, I'll just wipe the old stuff and transfer the purchases from my iPad. Except that didn't work either, I got a message saying iTunes was waiting for something (can't remember the exact text off-hand) everytime I tried to transfer purchaes from my iPad.

Looked through the communities and found out that a few things can cause that problem (apparently voice memos were at fault for some people, improperly authorized machine, and a couple other items), but none of the fixes did anything for me. So I looked around for the alternative to restore my iTunes library on my machine so I look at the Apple support page for backing up your iPad [URL] and it says the backup function will save your apps, which is all I cared about since I didn't store my media in my iTunes library. Since I'd also been having a problem with an Ubisoft game and they recommended wiping my iPad to fix it, I made a backup and wiped the iPad then restored from a backup. Except not a single freaking one of my apps backed up despite having done it just minutes before wiping the iPad. All the default Apps and settings information were saved, but every single purchased app is gone.

What did I do wrong, or is Apple support flat out wrong, or (and god I hope not or I'll blow a gasket) did Apple decides "apps" really means "Apple apps"?

Using ICloud For Backup And Syncing?

Apr 17, 2012

My MPB crashed and I had not backed it up with all my music apps and most important all my photos. I was able to get all my photos off my iPad with a app called Photo Transfer that worked great. I'm using the iCloud now to back up and sync my iPad. So at this point there is no need to plug my iPad into my computer to sync right but what about photos I have downloaded from the web, how are those added to my iPad, I'm assuming ill need to plug my iPad into the computer to transfer them? Now I have not re downloaded all my apps or videos and music in iTunes on my newly reformatted MPB, should I do that or no need because iCloud syncs all my apps so in other words if i had to do a restore on my iPad with iCloud all my stuff is there with out plugging it into my computer and sync from that?

How To Utilize The ICloud Backup

Mar 25, 2012

I shared an apple ID with a friend on my iPhone and my iPad and then she moved out and changed her password.

IPad 2 :: Won't Backup To ICloud (on IOS 7)

Dec 16, 2013

Been having a consistent issue where my iPad 2 (running iOS 7) won't backup to iCloud. Doesn't matter if I trigger the backup manually or just plug it into power and let it do its thing overnight.

Example: right now the progress bar is at around 15-20% and the time left indicates less than one minute. It's been that way for the past hour.
