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. -

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.

Can I back up my entire computer to iCloud?
I'm going to be away for 2 or 3 months, and I don't want to take my hard drives along. Can I back up my entire computer to iCloud using Time Machine?
... and if you do opt for crashplan or a similar service, be aware that it will take one or more weeks to back up the entire mac. These services only back up a little at a time. They do have a service (CrashPlan does) where you can perform a backup to CD and mail those disks to them.
Since you are using Time Machine, you could use a second external drive to back up to (TM can back up to multiple locations). I have an ext drive at work and at home and back up to each. In your case, do a TM backup to the second drive and then place it in a different location, if security is your concern.
If, on the other hand your intent is to have your data available in the cloud for access from other computers, then CrashPlan is not your solution - it is only a backup service. You could look into Google Drive or DropBox and then copy the critical files to either of these cloud services. You can access the files from anywhere. But I would not put the entire mac files there, it would be quite costly - assuming your mac uses up a lot of disk space. -

Can't back up iPhone 5 to my computer
Can't back up my iPhone 5 to my computer using iTunes. The "back up now" or "Restore" bottons are grey
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Hope this helps. -
I had 2 iPhone 3G's, one of them screwed up and wouldn't recieve service. Up until then when I backed them up to my computer all was good, then one of them would update and all but a screen would pop up and tell me it couldn't back up to my computer. Recently I replaced the bad tele with an iPhone 4 and it does the same thing while the other iPhone 3G still backs up fine.......What up!!! Help please. Don't wanna lose my info..
I banged my head on the wall with the same problem for two days. Tried everything mentioned, and this worked, finally. The problem is that the backup files are not where you think they are.
You need to delete the MobilSync backup folder. I have a Mac. Went to /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and deleted the Backup folder.
Fixed the problem. Give it a try and good luck! -

My iPhone seems to sync OK but at the end it says it can't back up because 'the back up was corrupt or not compatible with the phone'. Any ideas what I need to do?
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\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You will have to turn on show all hidden files & folders to see them. Close iTunes, delete everything in the folder, but not the folder itself. Re-boot your computer & try again. -
ITunes can't back up iPhone to iCloud
I don't understand. If I'm NOT backing up iPhone to my computer, but instead want to back it up to iCloud, why do I get a message in itunes that says "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because not enough free space available on this computer.
But I'm backing up to iCloud just for that reason, because I know I don't have enough space on my computer. If I did, I'd back up my iPhone to my computer so I have control of it, not the Cloud. But I have no choice for a backup.
Do I not NEED iTunes to back up to iCloud? Do I just back it up via my iPhone??Forgot -- one simple fix -- reboot phone LOL Done. iPhone is backing up to iCloud
