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:
2010-08-13 09:27:51.000 iTunes296:20b: restore library built Jun 4 2010 at 01:46:12
2010-08-13 09:27:51.000 iTunes296:20b: iTunes: iTunes 9.2.1

2010-08-13 09:30:13.000 iTunes296:20b: iTunes: Backup error -19
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 upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 7, but cannot restore the backup "error when restoring iPhone (-1)", anyone know what should I do?

    That error often indicates a hardware failure.Try restoring a few more times. If it consistently gives you that error, make an appointment at the genius bar to have it looked at.

  • ITunes 9.1.0.79 error syncing with iPhone

    I have never had a syncing error with iTunes 9.03 and below, but since upgrading to 9.1.0.79, I get the following error:
    "The iPhone 'XXXXX's iPhone' cannot be synced. There is not enough memory available."
    My iPhone still has over 5GB of free memory, my computer has 3GB of RAM, and my hard drive has 36GB of free space. Which "memory" is lacking? I suspect this is a bug in iTunes 9.1.0.79.
    Anyone else out there with the same problem? Or perhaps any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • JDeveloper 11.1.2.0.0 Version Application wizard : File Backup Error

    hi
    As shown in the scenario (sc1) screencast at http://screencast.com/t/GA7OcgYZ
    the JDeveloper 11.1.2.0.0 Version Application wizard can fail sometimes, showing a "File Backup Error" dialog, with the message
    "Failed attempting to back up imported resource
    D:\screencast\VersionAppLockedIssueApp-v0.01\VersionAppLockedIssueApp\Model.
    Check that there are no file system explorers viewing files in this location and that none of the files are open in other applications before resuming."
    This even occurs when there are no other processes (like Windows Explorer or an editor) using/locking the file.
    It should be possible to reproduce the behaviour using the example application
    at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2011/VersionAppLockedIssueApp-v0.01.zip
    which is really nothing special I think, so it might also reproduce using another application.
    First open the application and also open the file "browseEmployees.jsf" in design view.
    After that, as it seems, the Version Application wizard fails.
    Note that it might be relevant that I am using Windows 7, as I can imagine that this could behave differently when using JDeveloper on other operating systems.
    Also note, if I try to ZIP the application folder (instead of using the Version Application wizard) after opening the file "browseEmployees.jsf" in design view, I get a message like "WARNING: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    : D:\screencast\VersionAppLockedIssueApp-v0.01\VersionAppLockedIssueApp\.data\00000000\je.lck ",
    as can be seen in the scenario (sc2) screencast at http://screencast.com/t/rFiL47Bil
    As it seems that the Version Application wizard has managed to commit the source files, one workaround could be to checkout the source in another location and continue working there.
    Other suggestions to avoid this issue, or deal with it, are welcome.
    questions:
    - (q1) Can this "File Backup Error" behaviour for the Version Application wizard be reproduced?
    - (q2) How can this "File Backup Error" behaviour for the Version Application wizard be explained?
    many thanks
    Jan Vervecken

    fyi
    Today I noticed that there is a My Oracle Support note about this:
    - note id 1353389.1 , "In JDeveloper11.1.2.0.0 the Version Application Wizard Failed with the Error: File Backup Error "
    Its "Solution" section currently says:
    "The problem is still investigated by development.
    But there is a possible workaround for Bug 12912410 by unchecking the checkbox 'Perform Checkout' in step 5 of 6 in the wizard screen. "

    While making a backup copy in Itunes of my Iphone I receive the following error message: While making a backup copy of this iPhone (-35) an error has occurred.  Do you want to continue with altering this Iphone? When you continue al the material on this Iphone will be lost.
    I reinstalled iTunes but that dit not help. After synching iTunes with my iPhone it also asks to authorize my pc and when i Click on ok, it says it is already authorized.
    Please can somebody help me, so I can make backup.
    Greetz,
    Derk

    It's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
    from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

    Hi Ckuan,
    Thanks a lot for your advice.    
    Deleting the correupted back up means to delete the information of one month since the last back up I made is one month ago.....right? 
    This back up I made right before I restored my iphone.  During the restore however my OS was upgraded to 5.1.1. and reading the comments on the internet it seems I am not the only one whom experience this problem. 
    Can it be that if I downgrade my OS back to 5.1. the back up will not be considered as corrupted?  If so, how do I downgrade the iphone?
    Thanks in advance.

    I would really appreciate any feedback...

    When I am restoring backup data for my iPhone 4 in the end of back up restore it show error message " back up can't be restored" , please advice what I can do to restore my backup

    That usually means that there is something wrong with the backup and it cannot be used.  You can try restoring the backup again, but if you continue to get the same message all you can do is restore to a different backup, if you have one.
