Can I backup to iCloud and iTunes?
I just bought an iPhone X. My previous phone was an iPhone 6 Plus, and the iPhone 4s before that. When I bought the iPhone 6 Plus, I backed up my iPhone 4s (16GB) to my Mac Pro, then connected my iPhone 6 Plus (64GB) and transferred all my info to that phone. Since then I used up all the storage on my 6 Plus without doing another backup, since I thought "I'll just wait until I get a new phone to backup and transfer". I was going to back up to my Mac and transfer all info into my iPhone X, but my Mac just stopped charging. I have about 900 songs and only 250 are purchased off iTunes Store. I know iCloud doesn't backup non purchased music. Also I don't know what else iCloud doesn't backup. So my question is, can I just pay the monthly fee once for the extra iCloud storage, just to backup my iPhone 6 Plus to iCloud now, restore my iPhone X from iCloud backup, and then when I get my Mac fixed, transfer the non purchased music and my photos to the X? I just need EVERYTHING from my iPhone 6 Plus to transfer over to my iPhone X. If you can help, thank you.
Plug it in, and back up to the Mac. Select "encrypted' backup for better results.
It's the only way to 'get it all'.

- 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? Hi, yesterday I had to reset my phone (IPhone 8 plus) to factory default and restore it to its last backup (April 15th). I also have an iPad mini, which everything is Synced. 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?
- I just got an iPhone 7 and I forgot the passcode so now I can't finish setting up? It can't connect to iTunes and it's not on my iCloud? I feel so dumb for forgetting it, I'm always bad with remembering numbers. Even though I just put it in, I can't remember it. I really don't want to call Apple Support if I don't have to. How could I factory reset it or something? I just got the phone and didn't even finish setting it up yet so there's no data that I'm concerned about. It can't connect to my iTunes or anything like that.
- 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?
