I can not seem to back up my iPhone 5s, error message is: iTunes cannot back up this iPhone because not enough free space is available on this computer
I can not seem to back up my iPhone 5s, error message is: iTunes cannot back up this iPhone because not enough free space is available on this computer
There is plenty of space over 260gb
Are you absolutely sure there's 20GB in use, and not that it has 20GB free? If you click on the hard drive icon on your desktop and click cmd-i to Get Info, what is the available space?

ITunes could not back up the iPhone because not enough free space is available on this computer
iTunes 11.0.1 (22)
Mac OS X 10.6.8
218.83 GB available
iOS 6.0.2
iPhone5
I get this error occasionally since getting the iPhone5 in October. My last successful back up to thei Mac was yesterday. Tonight, no backup.
One time when this occurred I had trashed files, and after I emptied the Trash the sympton went away. Tonight I had files in the Trash and emptie the Trash before connecting my iPhone and now no backup allowed.
I have quit and relaunched iTunes, and unconnected and connected the iPhone tonight with no change in the symptom.
My next counter measure will be to reboot.
Any suggestions?On my computer (Spring 2006 iMac, Snow Leopard, iTunes 11.1.3):
- I have 1.36 _terabytes_ of free space on my system disk.
- I have 2.1 _terabytes_ of free space on my Drobo[*] which contains my iTunes library.
My iPhone is an iPhone 5S 64Gb.
A backup should require, one would assume, less than 64Gb. In other words, a drop in the ocean of free space available to iTunes.
... and yet EVERY time I attempt a backup to my computer since getting my 5S it says:
'iTunes could not back up the iPhone "[name]'s iPhone" because not enough free space is available on this computer. Removing files and emptying the Trash will free up additional space.'
It's very clear that there's a bug given how much space I have available, and it's been present for 2+ months. :/ I had been able to back up my iPhone 4S.

[*] As far as the OS is concerned, the volume has 3.22Tb free, but it is backed by 2.10Tb of actual available space. In any case, "a whole heck of a lot". -
I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades. -
I just replaced my iPhone 5 because of a cracked face. I backed up the old phone to iTunes. When I tried to restore my data off of iTunes to the new phone, I got an error message saying that iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the new iPhone. Now what?
I have Apple Care+, but I'll be darned if I can find any way to contact anyone at Apple to talk to about this. They take your money, but make darned sure they don't have to support you unless you jump through a bunch of hoops first, like this site.I've done a restore.. The phone was completely wiped back to factory settings.. It then tells me there isn't enough space on the phone to restore from back up? How when the phone is empty?!

"iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available of the iPhone"??????
Before updating to iOS6, I backed my iPhone up onto my PC, as I am aware that when updating an iPhone things like notes, contacts etc tend to disappear. However, after the update was complete, when I tried to 'restore back up' I keep getting the message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available of the iPhone". I don't understand why this message keeps coming up, because I have 20.96GB free space. All my contacts have gone, and I urgently need them for work. What can I do to solve this problem???
I suggest you delete some stuff off your phone so free up some memory and try again

On April 13, 2013 i plugged my phone in and itunes immediately started an upgrade on my iphone 4 operating system to ios 6.1.3. ONce it completed my phone was restored to factury settings. When i tried restore my backup to the phone, i got the following message
itunes could not restore the iphone because not enough free space is available on the iphone
I am so ****** because i can't figure out a way to at least get my photos from this back...its all lost
I spoke with an Apple rep that day named Jamie who was supposed to help me retrieve my data, but we couldn't figure it out and he asked me to call back in a day or so to get it done. When I called back, i left several messages and got no response. Now i try calling support and they want money before they will talk to me.
Somebody please help.
ThanksIf you restored your phone as new there should be plenty of free space on it. Check Settings>General>Usage to see how much free space you have.
Is your backup on your computer or in iCloud? -

Hi there,
I have just tried to sync my iphone.
Worryingly an error message saying it cannot be synced has popped up quoting error code (-50)
I have just removed old iphone backups from itunes but was very careful to not delete the current one
What does this code mean?http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1583

ITunes is not recognizing my iPhone 4 after several years of using iTunes and an iPhone. I receive an error message that now says my Apple device is not set up for iTunes. Why would this stop working and what do I do to rectify the problem?
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computers one at a time.

Why is my mom getting the error message for province when trying to create iTunes account when providing her credit card information?
Hi Nahal,
I'm just wondering, is it possible that your Mom (originally) got her credit card in a different province?
I don't know much, but of this I am certain: Apple would absolutely, positively, love to help you create an iTunes account!
Otherwise, you can start here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

When trying to log into my MSN Hotmail account (@msn.com), after I enter my credentials, Firefox gives me an error message that "Firefox can't find the server at blu152.mail.live.com". I am able to log in easily from the same computer using Internet Explorer. I think this problem just started yesterday. Why is Firefox unable to connect to my e-mail account?

HT201210 not enough free space. I have 1.69TB available.
Hi, I am trying to update to the newest software to my imac and I get a message that reads "iTunes could not back up the iphone because not enough free space is available on this computer. I have 1.69TB available. Why do I get the error message?
The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
