Re: [apple-iphone] backing up (was: Upgrade to IOS 10)

 

(subject field adjusted)

I see at least these possibilities for backing up:

1)  Consider increasing your iCloud storage plan. Costs money.

2)  Back up your iPhone to a desktop computer (one with iTunes installed), then have that computer backed up, entirely or partially, to whatever you trust.

3)  Consider purchasing some kind of removable storage for your devices. There are several approaches, but I fell for the Lightning microSD-card reader by Lexar, <http://www.lexar.com/products/card-readers/Lexar-microSD-Reader.html#SKU=LRWMLBNL>. And some microSD-cards, obviously. You could back up these in turn.

This Lexar reader requires a free app:

   Lexar Mobile Manager by PhotoFast Global Inc.

   https://appsto.re/nl/fFgw2.i

(Note that I'm with the Dutch App Store.)

This app offers automatic back-ups of Contacts and Photos.

Me, I automatically back up my eight iOS devices to iCloud on a 200GB plan. I automatically back up my Macs to an

   AirPort Time Capsule - 3 TB

   http://store.apple.com/xc/product/ME182Z/A

And I manually back up my other computers to an identical pair of external hard disks.

I do use microSD-cards, currently for temporary storage and data exchange. Like among my Android, iOS, OS X and Windows systems and cameras (action, video, DSLR). Most devices accept 128GB cards, but my older DSLR and video cameras can handle merely 32GB. (May be a matter of the file systems involved.)

Hope this helps.  :-)

Kathy, Contacts are saved to your iCloud account so there is no need to print them. Also, If you back up to iCloud with a password, all your settings and passwords are saved too.

I think some phones had problems but Apple quickly addressed them. If you update now, you'll get 10.0.1 already. I have it on 6s & iPad Pro. No problems.

Is the time right to update yet? A friend complained but wasn't specific. Any noticeable issues?

Have you tried the highest rated email app?

With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market. What are you waiting for? Now you can access all your inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, AOL and more) in one place. Never delete an email again with 1000GB of free cloud storage.
