How to Backup and Restore iPhone, iPad and iPod using iTunes

As a built-in app, iTunes is a handy toolkit and multifunctional media player for iOS device's users, especially for iPhone, iPad, iPod backup and restoring. If you are an iPhone user, you have two very simple and free ways for duplicating and storing a copy of your information. Option one is to use iCloud, which is an extremely easy way for data backup but offers only 5GB for free backup. The other is to use iTunes, which supports both Wifi and USB connection for backing up iPhone.

The benefit of backing up using iCloud is that there is no space limitations and money charged. Besides, your backup files are fully in your control.

How to backup iPhone or iPad via iTunes

Don't forget to turn off iCloud before making the iTunes backup. Navigate to your iDevice, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then turn off the iCloud Backup switch.

Wi-Fi Connection:

Note: iOS device will automatically sync when the device meets three conditions:
1. Your iDevice is in standby model and the screen is locked.
2. Your iDevice is connected to Wi-Fi.
3. Your iDevice is simultaneously charging.

USB Connection:

• Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer and launch iTunes.
• Go to the top left corner, click on your device. Then you will see your device information, backups and the other options.

Once the backup process is finished, you are able to find your backup files easily in case you need to restore your device from it. Simply go to the following location according to your operating system:
For Mac users : ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
For Windows Vista or 7 users: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

How to encrypt iTunes backup?

How to Fix it When iTunes Won't Sync With iPhone, iPad, iPod

" I have had the iPhone 6 and iTunes on a windows 8 computer , and I am frustrated with the fact I can't sync my iPhone to iTunes. It's as if my iPod isn't being recognized by iTunes. Thus, I'm unable to transfer music from iPhone to my computer. My sister have the same problem when syncing her iPod to iTunes‘

If you find yourself in that frustrating situation, here is what you can do to fix it and get the iPhone, iPod, or iPad syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC again.

Firstly, let's analyze this problem and make it clearly. When you Apple devices was not synced with iTunes, or failed to be recognized by iTunes, it could be result from following reasons:

• iTunes version is out of date or USB Cable is broken.
• Haven't authorize your iTunes.
• Computer or device problem.
• Haven't update driver.

Solution 1: Update to the Newest iTunes and Change a USB cable

Sometimes just updating to the newest version of iTunes is enough to resolve all syncing problems, particularly if the desktop software hasn’t been updated in a while. By default, there will be a upgrade notification pop up once there is a new version available.

Sometimes USB ports go bad, and though it’s pretty rare it’s very easy to rule out. All you need to do is switch the USB cable from one port to another and see if it works. Also, try using a different USB cable entirely, whether it’s another Lightning cable or the old-fashioned 30-pin adapters.

Solution 2: Re-Authorize iTunes on Your Computer

If your iOS devices fails to sync with iTunes, the Sync button is grey out and not available at all, or if you try to sync and nothing transfers over to the iPhone, iPod, or iPad, you may simply need to authorize the computer with iTunes.

iTunes uses an authorization system to ensure only a handful of computers can access your purchased music, videos, and other content at any given time. When you authorize your Mac or PC, you’re giving it permission to access your apps, audiobooks, books, music, movies, and other content.

Solution 3: Reboot the iOS Device & Computer

Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod and PC could be an effective way to solve iTunes syncing problem. To do this, hold down the Power button and Home button simultaneously until the device restarts. Technically, that approach is called a Hard Reboot because it forcibly restarts the iOS device, but in situations where things are acting up, crashing, or just not behaving properly, it’s usually more effective to force reboot than to use the standard power-off approach.

Solution 4 : Use the Wireless Syncing Method

Wireless syncing could be an alternative method when iTunes dose not sync your iPhone via USB cable. In your iDevice summary dialog in the iTunes on the computer, tick Sync with this iPod over WiFi. Then, on your iPod, tap Setting > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync > Sync now.

With wireless syncing, be sure that both the iOS device and the computer are on the same wireless network. It will not work if they are not joined to the same network.

Solution 5: Update Drivers

If you recently update your computer system to Windows 8 or Windows 10 and found that iTunes no longer detected your iPod Touch or iPhone, update drivers could be a good way to solve this issue.

• Go into the device manager on your computer.
• Go to portable devices (it is right under network adapters).
• Right click apple iPhone and click update drivers.
• Brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. After that your iTunes will pump up down and you will see your iPhone right there.

• Solution 6: Sync iPhone, iPad, iPod to iTunes Alternative Tool
