Can't back up iPhone 5 to iTunes
Thanks for reply , I have checked other way , re-install the iTunes , checked the folder , search the other way from Google also can't . My laptop is windows 8 , and only my iPhone 5 can't back up to my laptop , other device like my iPhone 4S , iPad or my friend iPhone 5 can back up to my laptop iTunes , just only my iPhone 5 can't .... But my brother laptop can back up my iPhone 5 . This is why I feel weird , keep trying also same . I use my brother laptop to back up my iPhone 5 then copy the backup folder and paste into my laptop and try to backup again , it same show the notice that iPhone can't backup Session expired . Why like this ?

Trying to back up my phone before I upgrade the software to the IO7..... When I try to manually back up now to ITunes, I get the message "ITunes can not back up IPhone because an error has occured". I have rebooted the phone and computer. Any advise?
Close iTunes & navigate to:
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
and delete everything in that Backup folder, but not the folder itself. -
Backed Up Iphone to itunes and when restoring its looking for a password to restore! None requested or set at original backup. Can anyone help?
I have not restored device so have all my data on it still. Am not pluggin it in for first time, did this originally when setting up phone. I have an option to restore to original backup as well as 'set up as new'. What happens if I chose the 'restore from backup' option.' how do I go about backing it up first - if i right click 'iphone'' option on left hand side under devices the only option is'eject' or 'restore'. I'm not sure that my iphone is being recognised by itunes - should it not give the name of my iphone under devices?

Can I back up iphone to an external disk?
can I back up iphone to an external disk?
You can move your /Home/Music/iTunes folder to the external drive. Then hold down the OPTION key while starting iTunes. In the file dialog locate the /Music/iTunes/ folder on the external drive and click on the Open button. iTunes will now use the library on the external drive. When you sync your data and backups will now be saved on the external drive.

How can I have multiple iphones on itunes without them sharing contact info
If contacts on each iPhone are being synced direct with the same supported address book app on the computer via the iTunes sync process, deselect Sync Contacts under the Info tab for the iPhones that you don't want synced with the same address book followed by a sync.
If each iPhone is sharing the same Apple iCloud account with Contacts enabled for over the air syncing, each iPhone needs its own iCloud account. -

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts. All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window". But what if you have no device window?
Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
I thought the libraries were the same. -
