Iphone backup
« on: October 20, 2013, 01:28:26 PM »
Anyone have experience with a good Iphone (I have the 4s) backup that backs up everything without using ITunes? I always had problems with the ITunes backup, wasn't very reliable at all. I now use the Icloud, but it doesn't back up things that are old, like old notes, that were there before you started using Icloud. I saw online a product called phonecopy. Any one here of it or use it?

Believe it or not my biggest two items are my Notes and then my Phone numbers, in that order. Phone copy (I just got a reply from them) doesn't seem to handle notes. If I decide to switch to a Galaxy, I think they do handle Android notes (that's an android, right?). I can't start from scratch with my notes because I have so many. So if anyone knows of something reliable out there, please let me know.

Can you explain a little more? Icloud won't back up existing notes from before you started using Icloud. Email them to yourself? First of all how and second, it would take a tremendous amount of time if you (that's me) have a lot of notes. And then what. I think I'm just not understanding clearly what you're saying but if it worked for you, please explain. I need it. Thanks.

in short u need to sign into your icloud account and backup JUSt ur contacts and notes. then go onto icloud.com (or something like that) and u should be able to view everything that was saved to icloud there. before u even delete anyhting make sure its all there backed up online.

We might be talking about two different things here. I have an Iphone. On my Iphone are numerous Notes. After already having a large number of notes I decided to backup using Icloud. I'm not getting rid of anything. Icloud will only back up notes that were created after I started using Icloud. My numerous notes that I have (and want to keep) from before using Icloud, won't get backed up to IIcloud. Only the new ones. I need to back up the old ones without having to create new ones to paste and copy old ones for Icloud to back it up. So I'm looking for software that does it, other than ITunes, which never worked properly. Thanks

I understand and I will. But somewhere on their site (Icloud) I saw the above. I'll give the phone a shot. Thanks
