Can't backup b/c says iphone disconnects

I can't backup b/c get error message 1/2 way during backup that says "can't backup iphone disconnects"  what do I do ?  thanks

Connect the phone to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a USB hub. And if it is a desktop or tower computer use a port on the back of the computer, not on the front (front ports frequently are an internal hub).

    Are you attempting to synchronise new or existing photographs between your devices? My Photo Stream can only synchronise new photographs.

  • Can I backup anything on my Iphone 5s onto my sim card or only thru Itunes?

    Can I backup anything from my Iphone 5s onto the sim card or can a backup only be done thru Itunes? I ask because if I ever change from an Iphone to another model, I'll loose all my info like contacts correct?

    You cannot write to a SIM card on an iPhone. Your backup options are to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud and you can set this to happen daily and automatically. The backup will only restore to another iOS device. However, you can SYNC your contacts, calendar, notes, Reminders and other data to either iCloud or to applications on your computer. If you get another iPhone you can restore the iTunes or iCloud backup to it. If you switch to a different phone or think you might your best solution is to sync to common apps on your computer such as Outlook and Address Book in Windows, or Mail, Contacts, Address Book, Calendar and Reminders on a Mac. Alternatively, you can sync everything to Google - mail, contacts, calendars, etc. Google sync is compatible with both iPhones and Android phones. And I think Windows Mobile, but that I'm not sure about.

  • Can you backup more than one iphone to the same icloud account?

    My wife and I both have iphones and for simplicity's sake have always used the same itunes account and now with IO5 find that our itunes and icloud accounts are the same.  Before enabling backup for our iphones we wondered if you can backup two different iphones to the same icloud account?  Or will only one of us be able to backup to icloud and the other have to backup locally on our PC?

    You can back both up with the same Apple ID (iCloud account). They will be kept as separate and unique backups.

  • Can i backup everything from my iPhone to External hard drive?

    I have an Iphone 2g and i am just about to sell it too someone. But before i sell it, I would like to backup all the things from my iphone to an external hard drive i have.
    Note:I already backed up my old iphone 2g to itunes but i would like another copy too and external hard drive just incase

    No need to take the files from your iPhone just sync the iPhone again on last time then copy the backup file from ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup to the external hard drive.  If you are using Lion the Library folder is hidden you will need to hold down the option key and the click the go menu item it will show in the drop down list. 

  • Can't backup my iPhone 5 due to backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone

    Is been quite some time that my iPhone 5 couldn't backup when i try to sync things into my phone from my computer. But iTunes can't backup and it says is corrupted or not compatible with the iPhone. They ask me to delete the backup and try again but i tried few times and is the same result.

    Hi there ChienWei,
    I see that your iPhone is unable to back up into your PC, and this is preventing you from being able to sync your iPhone. I have an article here for you that will help you address this issue and provide some troubleshooting steps:

  • Can't backup after upgrade to OS4

    I've upgraded to OS 4 and iTunes 9.2. Basically, the OS 4 works fine on my iPhone. But I can't backup data via iTunes. iPhone re-starts during the backup process. Then, the whole sync process halt. After the sync process halt, my data (calendar, contacts, songs, etc) can't be synced to iPhone... Is it the problem of OS4 or iTunes? How can I finish the backup and sync process?

    I've hard reset the iPhone twice. The issue still exists! I can't finish the backup process. The iPhone re-starts during the backup process...

  • I can't backup my iPhone 5. It says I don't have enough storage. So I've deleted like 6-7 apps and its still says I don't have enough storage. And it also says the say thing when I want to buy new apps or music. What can I do?

    I can't backup my iPhone 5. It says I don't have enough storage. So I've deleted like 6-7 apps and its still says I don't have enough storage. And it also says the same thing when I want to buy new apps or music. Also my messages won't send; I have to turn my phone off and resend then just to they can send. I can't even take any pictures because it says I have no storage.(I currently have 1,658 photos and 72 videos by the way.) What can I do? I just my phone in late December. I didn't think it would act up this bad before I even had it for a year. Please help.

    Your phone needs more storage, buying storage on iCloud.com doesn't change that.
    Delete some of the stuff off of your phone, it's full.

    I have iPhone4 and Windows 7 Home Premium. iPhone can't backup: message 'couldn't backup because the iphone disconnected'. It started when i wanted to update to iphone3,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw and I received a 3002 error. Sync seems to work OK. Have exhausted the online discussions and tried everything. Please help

    Try runing iTunes in admin mode. That fixed the issue for me. You can either right click on the shortcut on your desktop and choose to run as an admin each time you launch it or go to the advanced tab under security on the program itself and click the run as admin every time.

  • Someone tell me how I can sync my music to my iPhone without it saying on itunes "set up as a new iPhone" or "restore from the backup of: iPod"

    someone tell me how I can sync my music to my iPhone without it saying on itunes "set up as a new iPhone" or "restore from the backup of: iPod"

    You must be trying to sync it with a different computer than the one it used last. No, there is no other way to do this.
    The iPhone may be synced to one and only one computer at any given time. If you choose to sync it to another, you can do that as often as you wish, but its content is erased first.

  • HT1766 Hi! I upgrade my iPhone 5 from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1. When it finished I wanted to restore with my backup but iTunes says that it can't because incompatible or corrupted. What can I do then to restore my iPhone?

    Backups are only used for restoring iPhones via iTunes.
    If you desire to go about another method for extracting data from a backup, use google to find out how (if possible) to make that happen.
