Ultimately, I'll look at upgrading my Mac to Mavericks or Yosemite, whichever is the older (so that my old Mac runs better), to get iTunes upgraded and talking with IOS 9 again. I did try to connect my phone with my old Mac again, but it's still not recognised in iTunes 11.4. (8) Finished!!!!!!! You may not have all the apps that you were using before, but you can get those again from the App Store and just download. (7) Almost finished! Plug in your iPhone to power, and switch on your backup via iCloud in Settings. Obviously, choose the one you've just uploaded. (6) Connect your phone and then it's easy, questions will probably ask you to treat it as a new phone and restore from a previous backup. (5) Go to iTunes and you will see the backup file you've just uploaded in the list

(3) Plug the stick into the Mac operating later software that has the latest iTunes which matches with IOS 9, and search for the back up folder by using the method in (1) above. If there's more than one, you can work out which one is the latest by the file date. (1) Find your backup files by searching with CMD+SHIFT+G then enter ~/library/application support/mobilesync/backup Who says being 87 is too old to use a Mac daily!).

What a dumb screw up that was by our friends at Apple.īeing rather nervous to upgrade my Mac much further, although I might try later, I thought of taking my backup file from iTunes and restoring it to my iPhone using ANOTHER Mac (fortunately my Father has one running Yosemite. However, the phone is then not recognised by iTunes 11.4 on my black 2008 Macbook running OS 11.6.8 Snow Leopard. I upgraded my iPhone 4s with an IPSW file to jump from IOS 8 something to IOS 9.3.2. I needed to do the same, and for those who previously have posted being puzzled why one would want to do such a thing, I'll explain. It seems like this feature could be added to iTunes.not just for emergency scenarios, as above, but also as a more convenient way to have a backup in both locations without tying up the phone during slow, direct-to-cloud backup sessions. The answer, unfortunately, is that it is not currently possible. He can't physically connect to the backup computer, but if someone at home could open iTunes and somehow send that backup to iCloud, USER could restore from his last backup. Something happens with his phone.say, a forgotten passcode.such that he's locked out and has to do a factory reset. But USER is now traveling, temporarily living elsewhere (or for whatever reason, doesn't have immediate access to his computer). What difference does it make? If that's what the guy wants to do, for whatever reason, why not just post an answer if you know it? If you don't, you're not being helpful.Īn easily-imagined scenario: USER normally backs up iPhone to a local computer. Not hard to understand.īut rather than simply answer the question, responses keep questioning the legitimacy or reason for the question! Lots of "I don't know why you'd want to do that?". The question (above) is pretty clear: the OP wanted to know if he could move an iPhone backup from a local computer to iCloud, so that he could then restore his phone from the cloud. It's always kind of stunning to see threads like this on user "help" forums.
