Hi, I know this doesn’t really answer your question but, why not just have your device backed up to iCloud? In my opinion, its so much easier, and convenient than backing up on your computer. You don’t even have to do anything. If on Wifi, it will perform a backup every time you charge your

Hi, I've never used the iCloud backup, but is it not slower than using iTunes on one's computer or via wifi? Joseph - Original Message - From: Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com To: viphone viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2013 11:15 PM Subject: Re: are you able

Hi, I guess it depends. In raw speed/transfer rate I guess. But, I think this is kind of trivial because an iCloud backup for me only takes less than 2 minutes on average. And since it can be set to do it automatically when charging, the convenience factor goes way up. Just set and

Hi, Oh! just to add, iTunes wireless sync via wifi is much slower than an iCloud backup for me using wifi or cellular data. I’ve also noticed using iTunes wireless syncing my devices take a noticeable hit in batterylife. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore

Hi Ricardo, You can't really compare doing a sync via WiFi and an icloud backup since iTunes WiFi sync is just that, a sync whereas an iTunes backup is a backup. I also agree that both the iCloud backup and iTunes backup, especially the encrypted backup, have their purpose. If I really have to

Hi Sieghard, If restoring from iCloud, all your passwords are restored as well. I mentioned iTunes wireless sync because, although yes, its syncing, a part of the sync process is backing up to iTunes. So I figured some might go this route just to wirelessly back up their device. But, it

Ricardo, I will be receiving an iPad this week and of course will be upgrading at least on my phone to IOS-7. How do I set up the Cloud to put all my apps, settings, etc. back where they should be? HOW do I back up totally to the cloud? Do I ask it to backup everything or is it safer to use

Hi, Its pretty simple. The first thing you want to do is on your phone go to settings/iCloud. Now double tap the storage and backup button. On the next screen, there will be a checkbox to turn iCloud on. What this does is allow your device to be backed up automatically when connected to

The one reason that I don't use iCloud to backup my iPhone is that I have apps on my phone which are no longer in the App Store. And since I cloud checks the app store and gets the latest version of an app, I think I'll lose apps which are no longer in the app store. Also, there are apps that I
