I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead).  I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead).  I am trying to delete everything so I can back it up from my previous phone and not my husband's.  I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

I tried following the instructions listed in the following thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19512128#19512128
but have still been unable to backup data using the third party software.
TouchCopy tells me I have no photos or Video ad won't alllow me to copy any of the critical files e.g. Notes, Calendar, Contacts, Messages, etc.
Anyone have any other suggestions for backing up my iPhone? Or help using TouchCopy?
If I am ever able to get TouchCopy to work, should I be using Copy to iTunes or Copy to PC option?
Thanks!
