ITunes[260:16443]: iTunes: Backup error -30

When I try to synchronize my iPhone I always have the save message : Unable to backup the iPhone...
When I look at the Console, I read the following message
iTunes[260:16443]: iTunes: Backup error -30
Could someone help me ?

I had the same error and just fixed it.
I'd moved the backup files to an external drive then deleted them from the library, but even without old backups, the process failed.
I tried many of the suggestions I found in other threads, but it still wouldn't work.
Eventually I tried unchecking the "Encrypt iPhone Backup" My previous backups were encrypted with a password, so when I unchecked the box, I was prompted for that password, which let me remove the encryption.
I then rechecked the box, entered in a "new" password, but I used the same one as before. The back up ran and showed progress in a pop-up window. A few minutes later, it was done.
I've since tested it through the normal process and everything is working again.
Hope this helps.

Restoring iTunes Backup Error

I have 8 DVDs of a backup I did on my PC before I restored it. iTunes will backup the first DVD fine. When I put in my second DVD, I get the error "unknown error occurred (-69)". Also if I try to load the disc later, iTunes just freezes up until I eject the disc.
Edit: Also I tried to contact Apple but they actually have no way to contact them about backup errors.

I have exactly the same problem - 1st DVD worked fine, 2nd worked until 255 song out of 721 and the other 4 dvds just cause itunes and my whole laptop to crash Since I'd made the original dvd backup I did an incremental back up using cds - these have worked fine. Beginning to wonder if the dvds just hold too much data for itunes to be able to copy from dvd at one time. Let me know if you find out anything new and good luck. Thanks.

TS2529 iTunes backup error

iTunes does not backup "because an error occurred" on my Mac. Any suggestions on how to back up my iPhone 4S without errors? All hardware and software are up-to-date (iTunes, iPhone and Mac).

Done all of that. I was with Apple care for 2 hours but to no avail. I have reset the phone and logged in with a new username on my Mac.

Just bought an Iphone 4 a few days ago and tried several times to update it to iOS 4.2.... it fails EVERY TIME when the iTunes tries to proceed the phone's backup. An error occur and closes the iTunes without updating the phone.

Backup error -19 with iPhone 3G

Since the latest version of iTunes and iOS 4 I keep getting an error that iTunes cannot make a backup, the details of the error are:

Apple's support page tells me to change the settings according to this page
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 under specific codes:
Error -19: The full text of this error is: "iTunes could not sync to the iPhone 'iPhone name' because an unknown error occurred (-19)". This error can occur when you attempt to update an iPhone 3G to a later version of the software and iTunes attempts to back up iPhone while it is syncing. To resolve this issue:
1. Uncheck "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" from the iTunes Summary tab.
2. Eject iPhone.
3. Reconnect iPhone.
4. Select Update.
Done all of this but makes no difference.
Here in Holland Apple tells me to contact T-mobile for everything iphone related and T-mobile tells me to contact Apple.
Unbelievable that a 2-year old product is now becoming defunct because of software-updates. Bad customer service on the part of Apple.
The only solution seems to be buying an iphone 4.
Something I was planning on but this experience is so frustrating that I am reconsidering. If this is what happens to 3G users after 2 years, what will happen to 4 users 2 years from now?

Updated to itunes 10, same problem. Absolutely zero feedback from Apple, dissapointing to say the least...

I updated the firmware to 5.0.1, then began a problem with my gadget I try to restore from a backup firmware, Itunes an error 3194, if I can, and if I do get to shsh ios 5?

Good morning
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Error When Trying to Restore from iTunes Backup

I had to erase and re-install the operating system. I thought I had iTunes covered by burning an iTunes backup to a CD, but when trying to restore iTunes from the CD it will restore a few songs and then give an error message that it was unable to read or write to my hard drive. I looks as though it restored the music that I owned and put on the computer but not the tunes I had purchased from the iTunes store and not the playlists. I did not know enough to burn the /music file. Is there anything I can do to get the burned CD to restore?

Contacts are not part of the backup. They are seperate and either you need to sync them with an email program such as outlook or use icloud mail,contacts, and calendars on the phone. Unless you did that then the contacts are gone.

The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

Hi!
So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
Tings I have done:
- Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
- Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
- Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
- Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.

The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.

Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

When starting Window XP on my laptop (which was connected, in the past, in a wi-fi network now no more available) appears immediatly this allert: "iTunes Helper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. ERROR 7."
Reistallation of older or up to date iTunes versions is impossible because: "Installation package iTunes.msi is located on a network resource not available" and because "It is impossible to remuove thew previous verson of iTunes. Impossible fto find the path."
Someone can help me ???
Thank,

Take a look at iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes. Perhaps your .NET Framework needs a repair.

Help!!! iTunes install error "Apple Mobile Device Service Failed To Start". Error 7 (Windows Error 193)

Help! Following a standard upgrade I got the error message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 193).
I am running Windows 7 and installing again brings the message "Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"
I have uninstalled everything Apple, deleted all related folders and run as administrator numerous times with no luck.
I had hoped that iTunes 12.1.2 would resolve the issue, unfortunately it failed to do so leaving me iTunes free which is driving me mad!
Can anyone advise what else I can do to resolve the error and bring back iTunes?
Thanks
