An error occurred while backing up this iPad (-43)  iOS5 update

While updating to iOS5 the process stops and error message  "An error occurred while backing up this iPad (-43), would you like to continue to update this iPad?  Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad"
If i select no and manualy do a backup and sync it works fine ... so a back up is there. Its the new update/ itunes process that is failing???
Anyone else having this problem?

So you used your own manual back up  after updating , and that worked?
Im a bit gun shy to try as i dont want to lose my data

  • An error occurred while backing up this iPad (-5000)

    I'm trying to update someone else's iPad for him. Windows XP Home computer. Latest version of iTunes. The iOS 5 file has downloaded from Apple. When I start the upgrade, first step is a backup of the iPad. I get maybe 4 green bars on the progress window and then get an error message that states "An error occurred while backing up this iPad (-5000). I stop at this point.
    Apple KB has a long list of error numbers for this message, but not -5000.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I had the same issues.  My computer runs Windows XP Media Center Edition. The itunes update downloaded easily but i received the -5000 message when I tried to update the Ipad software iOS 5. After many, many unsuccessful attempts to correct the problem, I disabled my Norton Antivirus and it worked without any more snags.  It still took about another 45 minutes to complete the install but there were no more errors.
    To sum it up---DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE--and that will probably fix the issue.

  • Getting "an error occurred while backing up this iPad (-5000).

    I am getting an error when trying to update my wifes gen1 iPad from 4.2.1 to whatever is the latest:
    "An error occurred while backing up this iPad (-500).
    Would you like to continue to update this iPad?
    Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad."
    Any suggestions?

    Based on this article, it looks like you've had a communication issue with the iTunes Store (note where the -5000 error appears):

  • An error occurred while backing up this iPad (-43), can't upgrade to IOS 5

    As per title, my XP was just upgraded to iTune 10.5 and the itune music library was also successfully relocated to another drive to make room for the upgrade preparation. According to the pre-upgrade message, my ipad backup just need ~9G space while the space is about 13G. However, there was still system error message as mentioned after 5 minutes of backup. I stopped the upgrade then.
    Any idea about error code (-43)? Tks in advance.

  • "An error occurred while backing up this Iphone (-50)"

    Hello all,
    I've downloaded IOS4 and am trying to upgrade by 3G, but when I hit the upgrade button, I'm told repeatedly that there's an error backing up the Iphone (-50). I've reset the Iphone, turned off my firewall, rebooted, but I get the same message.
    The thing is, I remember several months ago that my syncing was taking an hour every time because of the back ups. (I keep a large amount of data in a third party app.) I came here and learned how to prevent my 3G from backing up every sync, and my syncs have gone really fast since then. The problem is that I've forgotten what I did or how to change the settings. If I right-click "Iphone" under "Devices" in Itunes, I don't get any option to create a backup, nor can I find any "backup" command anywhere in Itunes (latest version).
    I can't even figure out where to go (assuming there is a place to go) to check when my Iphone was last backed up. Itunes is giving me the option to go ahead and update without a backup, but I don't want to do that until I at least know when was the last time my Iphone was backed up.
    Can anyone tell me (a) where to go to check my backup history, and (b) how to get my phone to back up, assuming that it's not doing so? Thanks!

    The same thing happens to me.
    I've tried two times to upgrade to iPhone OS 4.0, leaving the phone offline and syncing for 10 hours... the backup proceeds sluggish and about 5% it stops with the message:
    "An error occurred while backing up this Iphone (-50)
    Would you like to continue to update this iPhone without backup?
    CONTINUING WITHOUT BACKUP WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF ALL CONTENT"
    If I try to Continue another message says:
    "The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt. Disconnect and reconnect, then try again."
    I've never even tried to hack or jailbreak my iPhone, and everything was normal since I try to upgrade to OS 4.0
    This is my equipment:
    - iPhone 3G 16GB (14.64 full), sw 3.1.3
    - iTunes 9.2 (61) running on Snow Leopard 10.6.2

  • An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (0xE800002E).

    I know this question has been asked for a long time and I googled it to death but not sure if the fixes apply to my situation plus most replies were from 2008! I am trying to update my iphone 4 to IOS 5 and have done the normal sync and updates and clearing out some trash from itunes to ready my phone - that all seems to go just fine. Now the problem is when I try to update, it will start out backing up the phone and after awhile i get this error
    "An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (0xE800002E). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone."
    From what I read this is an error due to an app, but which app i have no idea - I have about 300 on my phone! I'm not sure if i should continue and then restore. I guess basically I'm looking fo rthe best advice as to how to proceed. I'm somewhat iphone proficient, but please be 'simple' in your responses as I"m 40 weeks preggo so concenttrating is no easy task
    thanks!

    I hadn't read that article, so am i to assume that the IOS5 install will erase everything anyways... so if I've sycned my iphone already and then continue with the update AND hit continue losing all contents it 'shouldn't' matter?
    "An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (0xE800002E). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone."
    i have not seen the window they showed there in the article.

  • Trying to update software on my iphone 4.  It stops and says "An error occurred while backing up this iphone.  Would you like to continue?  -43  Continuing will result in loss of content.  What should I do?

    Trying to update the software on my iphone 4.  It stops and says, "An error occurred while backing up this iphone.  -43.  Would you like to continue?  Continuing will result in the loss of content..."   What should I do?

    The first thing you need to do is (in the left side of iTunes, under devices) right click on your phone, and do a manual back up. As long as that works, this should work for you. After you back it up, go to your phone in iTunes, and do a "Restore". Click the option to restore and update. When it is done with the update, it will ask you if you want to set your phone up as a new phone, or restore from the last back up. Restore it, and after another restart, and a sync, you will have your updated phone without loosing your information.
