I have a dying iMac (back light issues) and would like to back up my iPhone to an external drive before he is completely gone. I currently back up to iTunes but don't know what will ensure that my iPhone data is backed up.
Also, for some reason when I try to do the iCloud back up directly from the phone, it says it has all 5 Gigs space available, but will not offer the back up option like I see in tutorials on line. On top of that, from iTunes, if I select iCloud manually from there, it just doesn't work and goes to the computer instead. It says it is backing up, but then it says "Your iphone has never been backed up to iCLoud." But shows it backed up to the computer instead. Thanks for any guidance.
