Unable to restore backup after updating iphone 4, because "not enough free space"

I updated my iphone 4 to v7 via itunes (v12), and in doing so, my camera roll was erased as were most of my calendar events. I am trying to restore the backup that I created just before updating, but I get an error message in itunes that says "itunes could not restore the iphone" because "not enough free space". There is 2.5gb free on my iphone, and I created the backup just before updating so there should be plenty of room. Does anyone know how to get the iphone to restore and/or how to put my pics & calendar back? itunes hangs up at the end while syncing too...

hello again, don't post twice the same question, it won't be answered faster.
see your previous thread: iphone 4 unable to restore backup after updating to v7

also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
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, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

I can't make Backup after updating my iPhone!

After updating my device to the last version of iOS I can't make Backup!!
What can I do?

You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Hi i recently just updated to the newest itunes update which included the new iphone features and stuff (7.3. after i updated i went into my itunes library to find a recurring message dialog saying
[The itunes library file cannot be saved. an unknown error occurred (-50)]
after clicking do not warn again box. i soon found out that my library wasn't saving songs i was putting in to it like new purchased songs and other stuff came the next time i started itunes.
i am asking what the problem is??? if any help would be great

This bug did in fact appear for many of us when we upgraded to iTunes 7.3.
Here 's a lengthy thread that discusses some possible solutions.
For what it's worth, I uninstalled 7.3 and rolled back to an earlier version of iTunes.

TS3694 error -42110 occurs after update of itunes last friday 22-02-13

is there a solution?

Removing the SC Info folder as per the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document seems to help most folks reporting the iTunes launch 42110s:

ITunes creates corrupted backup after updating to iOS 8.3

So this happened right after I updated my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.3.
I got an "iTunes could not backup the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone" error.
I've followed instructions to update iTunes, restart the program, computer, and phone.
Delete backups.
I've tried backing up on my 2nd computer with the same exact error.
None of it works.
iTunes DOES make a backup. It says it was created 12/31/2000 at 6pm. However if I navigate to the folder in AppData it says it was created at the proper time on my computer's clock. I'm too afraid to restore that backup since my phone has no "real" backup now.
I would call Apple support but they want to charge me $30 for one session.
I've been avoiding restoring my phone because I don't want to spend the time to get all my apps and photos and music back onto the phone.
So I'm left with 2 options.
Restore the iPhone and waste a good hour of my time reinstalling everything.
Or waiting for the next 8.x iOS update and hope that fixes the issue.
Unless someone here can think of a 3rd option.

Hi there offroadguy,
It sounds like you’ve done quite a bit of troubleshooting to try and resolve the issue creating a backup of your iPhone 5s. If you haven't already, take a look at the article linked below which provides some additional troubleshooting tips that will likely resolve the issue.

Password not recognized in Itunes backup after update

I have an Iphone 3gs had not updated to the new 5.0.1 in itunes. Tried to today - did a back up first then updated. Itunes asked me for my password to restore contacts, calendar, etc... Itunes will not take my password. It starts the process of downloading then gives me an error of "The password your entered to unlock your Iphone back up file is incorrect. Please try again." We have tried all different forms of the password ie caps on, caps off, capital, with number, without etc. Can anyone help?

The backup password is separate from other passwords. It is not necessarily your computer login password, your Apple ID password, your iTunes store password or any other password you may have used. You entered it the first time you synced your phone after checking to encrypt your backup. Encrypted backup may also have been forced on you by your IT department if you have a corporate email account on the phone. If so the password may be your corporate domain password, or the one you had at the time you synced after installing the corporate email account.

Cannot restore backup after updating to iOS 4.0.2...

To make it short and sweet, yesterday I updated my iPod Touch 3G to iOS 4.0.2 and today I tried to restore a backup into it, and everytime it gives me an error (no numbers or anything). What's wrong? I've read similar problems and very few legit solutions...please help!!

I just experienced the exact same thing after upgrading from iOS 4.2.x to iOS 4.3...
Now my iPad shows the picture of the white USB cable that tells me to connect to iTunes to (re)activate. After trying this nothing happens - except from a message in iTunes telling me that;
"There is a problem with your iPad.
We're sorry, the iPad you connected may be damaged and canot be activated for service. We recommend you to visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. To find your..."
Anyone else had similar exeriences?!

Unable To Restore backup after updating to OS 10.3.1.1565

Hi there...
i just updated my Q5 to os 10.3.1.1565
(Had an error with memory when trying to do OTA update , so i did a full backup on device via link , Factory Reset , then updated it )
Then i tried to do a full restore , but it wont restore it
saying:
"Restore was canceled"
"The Operation was canceled, and some items were not restored."
is there anyway to restore the backup without reverting to an older os ?
Really could use some help or info's ...
much thanks in advance

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Refer:
Article ID: KB36134 BlackBerry Link fails when attempting to restore a backup file and displays "Restore was cancelled. The operation was cancelled and some items were not restored.
However, given your description, I suspect something else. It has been reported from time to time that if you update too far in the OS versions that the restore will fail. Usually, though, this is in downgrading the OS...not updating...but it has happened (as per reports here) more than once in the way you describe.
Sadly, the "fix" depends on your situation. If you have all of your contacts, calendar, etc. on a compatible email server (e.g., Outlook.com), then simply reintegrate that account and the data will come back from the server. Or, if you were using LINK to synchronize to desktop Outlook then simply re-establish that. But, if you were taking the most risky method of using these on the device truly "stand alone", then your recovery is much more difficult. Plus, if you had other data (photos, videos, documents, etc.) that you were storing in Device Memory instead of on the SD card, then you may have to also do this.
If indeed you need to do the most challenging method, then it is thus:
Load your prior OS to your device...either via LINK (if it offers it) or via AutoLoader
Restore your data to your device
Purchase, install, and use Ultimate Backup to backup your calendar, contacts, etc. to your SD card
If you also have data in Device Memory (photos, etc.), then copy those as well to the SD card
Load the more recent OS to your device
Restore via Ultimate Backup from your SD card, as well as continue to store your photos and such there (to avoid this problem in the future regarding photos, documents, etc.)
Good luck!

Cannot find backup after updating to iOS 5

Hi all,
This morning I updated my 3GS to iOS 5. Because I kept getting errors, I backed up my phone, copied to bachkup to another location, then restored my phone to factory settings, then updated to iOS 5. That was all fine, but now I cannot restore my phone from the backup. The backup disappeared from its original location, and when I copied it back there, iTunes did not recognize it. It only recognizes an older backup that was in the same folder.
How can I make sure everything is restored from my lastest backup?
Also, running iTunes on Windows Vista 64 bits, if that matters, and I do have iTunes 10.5.
Thanks!

Solved it by copying the backup files from one computer to another. They are found in this folder on PC
C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
The restore on the other computer went without problems, though I have to reinstall all apps, but all settings, photos and so on has been restored.
