Error when backing up my iPhone 5

Does anyone know how I can fix itunes or my iphone? My OS X is running on 10.8.5 and my iPhone updated to 6.1.4.
I've restarted the computer and the phone it syncs but it wont back up.
It last backed up in April but now it always says "itunes could not backup because an error has occured". Please help!

Did you go through step 5 of the article (check security settings)?
Have you tried restarting your iPhone? Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

An error occurred when backing up this iPhone (-43).

An error occurred when backing up this iPhone (-43). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this phone. Not risking going further till Apple explains why the bug and what if means?

Hey!!
After many failed attempts this is what worked for me:
Step 1. Right click on your phone in the left hand side bar and select Back Up
Step 2. Restore your phone and use the option where you restore and update
Step 3. When its done it will ask you to use the back up you previously completed
Hopefully this works for you!!!

I keep getting network connections error when downloading update for iPhone 4. Any suggestions?

I keep getting network connections error when downloading update for iPhone 4. Any suggestions?

I think I solved the problem by initiating the update in a different way, from the itunes panel where I can click to start the update, instead of saying yes when asked if I want to update when itunes launches in response to the iphone being plugged into the computer.

When backing up my iPhone does my calendar and all event back up as well?

Hello Marsh1987,
Thank you for the question. Items that are synced through iCloud are not backed up through iCloud:
Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo streams, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
If you have Calendars enabled in Settings > iCloud, they will be synced through iCloud so that you can view them on other devices that have Calendars enabled in the iCloud settings or at https://www.icloud.com/#calendar

Why am I getting an error when I sync my iPhone 5S?

The error message "The iPhone "iPhone name" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54)." came up when I have been syncing my new iPhone 5S.
This didn't start happening until last night, when I restored my iPhone from an old back-up I had from my iPhone 4 that I recently transisioned away from. Was this a mistake? Do I have to restore it to factory settings to get this error to go away? What do I need to do?
Also, something to note is that when I looked this error message up, I came up with some solutions for an iPod getting this same error message, but nothing with an iPhone. The solutions had something to do with a locked file blocking the process. How do I know if a file is blocked?
I have an mp3 on my iPhone that won't go away with deselecting "Sync Music," But every other music file was able to come off with clicking that button. Is that the problem? The only way I can think of getting this file off is to do a factory reset to my iPhone. I'd prefer not to do that because I lost some phone numbers in the process of restoring it this last time. Apparently my back-up was from 2013, when I could've sworn I backed it up right before I got my new iPhone.
I'd love help with this, please. Thank you so much!

I am copying this for you from another thread:
== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.
iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) -https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod -https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? -https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy -https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.
I hope this helps.

Error when I plug my iPhone in usb and itunes comes up

when I plug my iPhone in with usb connected to my computer, iTunes pops up ofcourse and opens but then a box appears and says: This iPhone cannot be used because the apple mobil device service is not started. never had this come up before, now I do have slingbox installed on my iphone and always worked good and i did the update today for the slingbox to get 3G and now i get this error, now i dont know if it is because of that update, i have no idea but i do know my iPhone isn't being recongized in itunes. help

This iPhone cannot be used because the apple mobil device service is not started.
Right-click "My Computer", and select "Manage". Expand "Services & Applications" and click "Services". Maximise the window so you can see what's going on.
Find the Apple Mobile Device Service in the list. Does the status show as "Started" and the startup type as "Automatic"?

Hi,
If I check in TOAD, then I see that the max size of the tablespace is unlimited. Btw, Tablespace XYZ is actually an index tablespace - dont know if this makes a difference. The max size of the data tablespace is also unlimited.
Using the query select * from user_ts_quotas or dba_ts_quotas, I dont see tablespace XYZ or its data tablespace in this result set. I'm not sure why.
Maybe giving the user unlimited quota on the tablespace might solve the problem - i dont know, but if it does, then I have to ask why has it worked all the time without this and only now it's giving an error??
The user has been doing the same thing everyday for the past couple of years and only now getting this error.

Error when syncing music with iphone 3g and itunes

Does anyone know how to fix the "unknown error -69" when trying to sync iphone 3g and itunes. I have plenty of memory but certain songs will error and then all others after that one errors. So annoying can any one help?

A couple of things that might help out.
Open computer management by clicking on start and right clicking on my computer, then choose manage.
When the computer management window opens, expand services and applications on the left.
Click on services and see if Apple Mobile Device is running on the right.
If it is not running, or is not set to automatic, try starting it.
Also if apple mobile devise is not installed or will not start, this article might help out uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926?viewlocale=en_US
If the apple mobile device is installed and will just not start, try uninstalling your security software.
Once uninstalled, restart your computer.
Once the computer is restarted, open computer management to see if apple mobile device will start.
Hope this helps.

TS3694 Keep getting a 1015 error when trying to restore Iphone 3g

Hi, I have a problem with my old Iphone 3G, I upgraded to a Iphone 4 ages ago and just kept my old phone in a drawer, now I want to give it to my niece, so decided to plug into Itunes to reset it ready for her, it said it needed to update and download, it did that, but failed and said to restore it, but I keep getting 1015 error when it goes through the restore.
Any ideas and options other than going to Genious Bar ?

error usually means you have a jailbroken or a modified iphone.

Error when I connect my iPhone to my Mac

When I connect my iPhone 5 to my MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.9.1) I get an error that says "com.apple.MediaLibraryService quit unexpectedly"

Obviously you're a develper since you have iOS 8 beta. You agreed to NOT post in these forums. You must post in the Developer Forum for help.

TimeMachine errors when backing up to XSan Volume

Hi all,
I've been trying to solve this problem for a while. I have an apple xraid unit with a timemachine enabled afp share that I want to use for client backups over our network.
10.5 and 10.6 clients initially can configure timemachine preferences to use this share and the first backup image gets written. However, on subsequent backups a new sparse-image bundle is created with a numerically incremented filename. (i.e. client_backup.sparsebundle gets created then sometime later timemachine creates client_backup(01).sparsebundle).
Also, I've seen subsequent backup attempts simply fail with "Volume cannot be accessed (exit code 109)" errors. From the client console, I see these log messages:
Mounted network destination using URL: afp://[email protected]/TimeMachine
com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.netauth.sysagent[1333]) Exited with exit code: 255
diskarbitrationd[13]: unable to repair /dev/disk2s2 (status code 0x00000008)
om.apple.backupd[1332]: Failed to mount disk image /Volumes/TimeMachine/client_backup.sparsebundle (DIHLDiskImageAttach returned: 109)
Has anyone seen similar behavior? I'm stumped as to why the first backup is apparently successful but subsequent backups fail. Thanks for reading.

I'm seeing the same problem over our network to an Xserve with an external RAID 5 volume.
The user that's having the problem had lots of errors when trying to back up due to funny files on his hard drive that were WAY down in the hierarchy of his drive... like 15 folders deep.
I'm going to try running Disk Warrior on his drive to see what's up. Maybe somethings broken...

Authorization error when syncing apps from iphone to mac, mac to iphone

I am having this error with both apps I've synced from my iPhone to my Mac, and one I purchased from ITunes (which as a side problem, I can not sync to my iPhone no matter what I try). I have one iTunes account and it is the same on my computer and on my iPhone. However, the one I bought on my mac I can't authorize on my computer, and I can't sync some back because I get this same error message (I have all the latest software on phone and Mac):
THERE WAS AN ERROR STORING YOUR AUTHORIZATION INFORMATION ON THIS COMPUTER
The required directory was not found or has a permission error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions can not be changed.
Is this just becuase these apps aren't made to USE on a computer? Because that would make sense. I'm just worried it has something to do with the app I purchased on ITunes not syncing back to my iPhone.

I created a new user on my macbook and tried to authorize the computer but got the same authorization error. This doesn't have to do with the fact that I have once used a different iTunes account? (not since I have had the iPhone. I have tried to figure out how to delete this but it looks as if apple doesn't want me to.) Plus, it's the same email as my dot mac which I've ALSO been having trouble with the past few months-- it keeps resetting on its own and my keychain and iphone can't get into it. online chat has not solved the problem so i decided to just let it expire...
Ive been using a mac for 15 years and have never had as many problems as i've had these past few months.
