First troubleshooting tips

1. Restart your PC and iPhone

Please make sure that you’ve restarted your PC after you’ve finished with CopyTrans studio installation (remember that switching it on and off is not the same as restart). Restarting your iPhone should also help: it cleans device cash and restarts all the processes.

2. Check your USB cable and USB port / WiFi connection

CopyTrans Studio can connect to your Windows PC by WiFi, but for the very first connection, please use a USB cable. For perfect connection, please only use original Mfi certified Apple cables. If any trouble, check that your cable isn’t damaged and try another USB port on your computer. If you are sure that the problem is on PC side, check this article: PC doesn’t recognize my iPhone.

3. Check free space on your iPhone and PC

Keeping free space on your devices helps to ensures smooth and quick transfers. If you need to clear storage with the help of Copytrans Studio, try transferring small batches at first before doing a full backup.
