Can't backup my iPhone to iCloud or iTunes?
Ok this might sounds confusing - I don't have enough icloud space to backup my iphone, so I want to back it up to itunes. However this is my first time connecting my iPhone to iTunes and I have the option to either 'Set up as new iPhone' or 'Restore from this backup'. My last backup was a month ago and If I choose the second option i'm afraid all my data (photo's etc) from the last month. I can't back it up because I have no iCloud space, which is the reason i'm doing all this.
Setup as a new iPhone, it will not overwrite anything. It will start syncing to your local computer.
DO NOT RESTORE FROM THIS BACKUP. If you restore, it will overwrite stuff.

- Is there a way(without computer)to move my texts from my iPad to my IPhone? ICloud backup? Had to restore phone to last backup and lost texts?

I got everything back on my phone (up to date) except my text messages. I'm not able to access my computer right now and have read you can get them back my backing up you messages to ICloud. Is there anything I can do to get them back on my phone (they are still on my iPad mini), without using my Mac?
- Does iCloud Backup Take up more space then iTunes backup? When I backup my iphone on iCloud it takes up 4.7GB of iCloud Storage. When I backup my iphone on my mac with iTunes it only takes up 2.3Gb Apple webstie says itunes backup will backup your phone exactly as it is and that iCloud only backs up important information. So why does backing my iphone take 4.7GB of iCloud space but backing up my iphone with itunes takes up only 2.3gb of space on my mac?
