I believe my laptop is an authorised computer. I later read that I shouldn't have backed up to my laptop as I normally use my imac (which is at home) - is this correct, can you only back up/sync to one computer? I didn't get any warning messages when I did it - just the issue with downloaded music.

Thought it best to clear all and start again.Īnyway - am trying to back up to icloud and it seems the internet connection here is not good enough (I am on holiday).Īs explained above I originally tried to back up via itunes on my mac book but experienced the above issues. Not knowing about the Android-centric feature, I purchased the 59.88 backup. Apple used to offer a product that let you create a backup of your Mac over Wi-Fi: the AirPort Time Capsule.The Time Capsule lay partway between iCloud and Time Machine backups since it stored your backup locally but was available over Wi-Fi.

Scrowl down to find the Notes option, and enable the option. Click on your name at the top and tap the iCloud option.

I've actually now taken all the downloaded music off my phone because the icloud back-up wouldn't work and there were also some inconsistencies between different parts of my phone and what downloaded music it thought was on there. The AirPort Time Capsule lets you back up over Wi-Fi. Here is the common method for backing up notes to iCloud manually: Open the Settings app on your iPhone/iPad. Here, you can click the icon for Photos or iCloud Drive and upload photos and videos. The reason I wanted to do an icloud back-up is because I tried to back-up to my laptop and there were some weird inconsistencies between my iphone and itunes related to downloaded music. On a Mac or PC, go to and sign in using your Apple ID.
