In the past I've had to go into settings and turn off iCloud backup before I could get the device to backup to my computer. Am I missing something?

Any ideas? I even tried the reset warnings, still no Back Up, I would like to have a back up on my Mac, since my DSL isn't unlimited. Thanks, Gabe Well this is interesting, I don’t have that option of “Back Up” when I click on my iPhone name in the sidebar of iTunes, all I have is

Eject “iPhone”
Sync “iPhone”
Transfer Purchases from “iPhone
Reset Warnings

I never had this option even prior to trying to follow this step.

Any ideas? I even tried the reset warnings, still no Back Up, I would like to have a back up on my Mac, since my DSL isn’t unlimited.
Thanks,

Gabe

This always backs up to your computer regardless of the Backup setting. I think this a better solution for a quick temporary local backup rather than changing a setting back and forth.

Right-clicking the device in itunes and selecting backup now will always do a backup to your computer, regardless of what is selected on Summary page. You do not need to do steps 2 and 3.
