I'm looking for a way to back up everything, including my messages, without using 2 factor authentication on my phone.
I was hoping that ITunes backup might do the trick since ICloud does not.

Every time I try I get the message that it cannot back up messages because I'm not using 2 factor authentication. I'm wondering if there is a way to back up or copy my messages to dropbox or my computer from my phone?

I would suggest checking with Apple to be sure, though. Best, Anna On Oct 14, 2019, at 5:13 PM, Vicki W. <[email protected]> wrote: Another question I have is concerning backing up my messages. With the way I have my security set up, I can't back up my messages with ICloud, but it's my understanding that I can if I use ITunes. Is that true?

The problem would be if your new device were running an older operating system. I would set up iCloud backups and restore from that. It's simpler, and either way, the apps are downloaded from Apple's servers. Just go to Settings, choose the Apple ID setting near the top that has your name, and make sure iCloud Backup is on. Then a backup will happen automatically every 24 hours or so, when your device is on and connected to wi-Fi and power. There's also a Back Up Now button you can use to back up the device at any time. Then when you get your new device, choose to restore from an iCloud backup. It will give you the choice of using your most recent backup.

First of all, what version of ITunes is best to use? I have both Windows 7 and 10 with JAWS 2019 or 2020 beta. Next, what are the steps for making a backup copy of my mini IPad II or older phone? Third, how can I transfer this to the new Mini IPad 5 or newer phone? The problem, I believe, is going to show up in the transfer. I will be trying to put a different IOS version from one to the other. I'm not certain which version will be on the new Mini IPad 5 or newer phone, but I currently have the latest update of 12.4 on the Mini Ipad II and my older phone. I know that people are having problems transferring the IOS versions with older IPhones that cannot be updated to IOS 13 to newer phones with IOS 13. How is this problem worked around when you can't update the older IPad or phone, but yet cannot transfer unless you have a matching version or the phone you are transferring from has a later IOS version. Hope this all makes sense. Thanks. Vicki -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
