"Is it possible do iTunes backup recovery on Windows 10? I heard that iTunes actually saves some backup of your iPhone, is that true? I mean, I've been using my iPhone for a few years now and I connect it to my iTunes almost once every week or so. My phone fell and pretty much ended up in need of major repair but that's alright, I was in the shop for newer model anyways. My biggest problem is, is there a way for me to get my memory back? I mean I still have iTunes, can I get it back somehow? I am using Windows 10 on my computer, not sure if that is important but some friends asked what my operating system was, so figured it might be an issue. Let me know, please."
Part 1. The Importance of iTunes
iTunes has been available on the market for a few years now and continues to be a powerful support for any iPhone user. There is just so much that the iPhone can gain from numerous interactions with iTunes. Using iTunes, you can pretty much place a ton of music you have on your computer or laptop, videos and photos are easy to place as well. Updating apps has never been as easy as well, the only challenge is finding the time to connect your phone and actually get what you need from the computer or laptop.
Much like it was mentioned above if you often connected your iPhone to the computer or laptop, there is a strong possibility that you have a great backup of your phone's information stocked away on your computer. Now, the biggest challenge is actually accessing it. For now, you might be wondering how iTunes does make a backup of your phone with each connection?
Well, as soon as you plug your phone into the computer or laptop, you will notice that it often syncs with the computer or laptop and as you expected that's when it does an automated backup of your phone's data. Pretty cool right? Now assuming that you want to even do a manual backup just in case, as soon as you connect your phone successfully, go to "Summary" and you will notice two buttons, either "Backup Now" and "Restore Backup..." As you can tell, they do exactly what you want them to, as long as phone is connected and iTunes has recognized it, you can update your backup files using the first button and if you ever get a new phone and can't access your older phone, you can connect it to iTunes and restore your previous data using the second button. Fairly easy stuff actually and shouldn't be a problem for most users. The challenge that can come with this setup is that if you have been using a new phone and only realized that some data is missing, say a message, maybe a contact or a video, you can't just suddenly "Restore Backup..." This will overwrite your current memory and delete anything new that came in based on the last backup. That might not be the ideal setup for a lot of people and it's understandable as to why they prefer to keep newer data.
