IPhone 4 back up syncing error

Dear users
I downloaded iTunes latest version . I also downloaded OS 5 from when the PC prompted me to update iPhone software . Somehow OS5 hasn't been updated on my iPhone 5 .
Whilst syncing , my iPhone 4 gives a backup error -43 . Please advice

Everything on your iphone should be on your computer as all data is not includded in the iphone backup.
You should always maintain a backup copy of your computer as well.
All pics taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as with any digital camera.
Contacts and calendars ahould be synecd to your computer.
Any music purchased on teh iphone should be transferred to your computer.
All of these things along with all other content from your computer should be backed up to an external source as always.

IPhone Calendar; Outlook 2007 Sync Error

I have an iPhone 5 with the 7.1.2 and the newest version of iTunes as well as the newest version of iCloud Control Panel.
Once I create a meeting|appt on my Outlook via computer (Win 7) it syncs to the iPhone calendar. (Good thing)
But if I were to change the day, time, or location from outlook .. it doesn't take effect on the iPhone and no point and time. (Bad thing)
Thoughts?
-Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
For better assisting you on this matter, could you help me with information below:
What was the sync error was?
Is your software up to date, both Windows/Office/iOS?
What is your Outlook account type? IMAP, Exchange or POP3?
Are you using Cache mode or Online mode for you Outlook? When using an OST file, only information stored locally, or cached on your computer, will be available to sync.
Meanwhile, we can try to reset Sync history to see if the issue can be solved:
Back up your data, refer to
this article for Backup details
Open iTunes.
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Devices tab.
Click the Reset Sync History button.
If the issue continues and you know all of the data is on the computer:
Reset the Sync History again using the steps above.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" select Contacts or Calendars.
Click Apply.
If the issue continues and you know all the data is on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Reset the Sync History again using the steps above.
Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.

IPhone 4 won't sync error -50

32GB phone showing almost 16GB free
I'm trying to take off about 1,000 photos and add some music (750 songs). No movies, 3 books, apps are taking up most of the space, but space shouldn't be the issue.
Should I just restore it?
I've tried rebooting the phone to no avail.
It's been awhile since I've synced the phone. Maybe before I upgraded the iMac I'm trying to sync it with to OS 10.8.3.

Restore and setup as New will take off everything, or syncing to an empty iTunes library as well.
See this troubleshooting for the stated error. I will always start with 3 or 6.
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.

Help with iPhone 4 back up/syncing with a different computer

I have an iPhone 4, however the laptop that I used for my iTunes and syncing my iPhone etc was stolen a few weeks ago.
My problem is that I want to wipe my iPhone because my memory is being taken up by deleted apps that I do not know how to get rid of. I will happily wipe my iPhone to sort this problem but I want to keep all my pictures/music etc. Is it possible to back up my photos/music onto a different computer without everything syncing and being replaced with the files that are on this computer?
Thanks

I know this is tough but you may have to Restore as New...
As to Losing your Photos... the iPhone is not a Storage Device...
If you Regularly Sync your iPhone... your Photos, Contacts, Etc.. will be on your computer...
So after a Restore as New they can be Re-synced to the phone...
You are probably aware of all this and it doesn’t help your particular situation...
But... if you don’t have a Backup you can use I don’t know what else to suggest...
maybe someone else has a better suggestion...

Back up/sync error -43

I have been checking the forums for literally an hour and have not seen anyone else mention the error message -43, when backing up my iPhone 4 the progress bar gets about 1/3 of the way done and then a box pops up saying and error backing up your iPhone has occured (error -43). I have the option to continue, but it says continuing will delete all the contents of my phone. Has anyone ever experience this? I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 yesterday and was attemping to update to iOS5 when I received this error. I have restarted both my computer and phone multiple times with no luck.
I am on an HP notebook, running Vista with 3.00 GB of RAM, Pentium Dual Core CPU
Thanks in advance...

IPhone sync error when trying to back up locally

Whenever I try to get a backup on my local hard drive I get an error that states "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "[iphone name]" because an unknown error occurred (0x2411F865). Does anyone know how to fix this?
Btw, I have an iPhone 4S if that has anything to do with it.

Hello Chongomonkey
I would suggest that you start by following the steps in this support article: iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes

I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.

I want to tranfer non purchased music from my iphone 4s back onto my PC that I have re-formatted due to errors.
I have backed up the iphone onto my newly installed version of itunes.
All the purchased albums/songs have been tranferred.
I tried to tranfer by ticking the sync box but its says it will wipe the iphone and replace it with the new library which has only a fraction of my 1000+ songs.
I have read many reviews that say it can be done with a third party program but when I looked into this they offer free evaluation but want about £20 for the program but feel this can be done at no cost.
The itunes is saying my iphone can only be synced to one PC but the original one is wiped.
Am I right in thinking I should go ahead with syncing the iphone then do the restore. Im just worried that once its synced the music and photos/videos will be gone forever.
If I go down this route, I think I still need to know how to tranfer the non purchased songs from my iphone back onto the PC with the newly reinstalled itunes.

Then you will have to purchase 3rd party software.

No. You will lose the music that's on the phone if you do that.
The iPhone is not a backup device. Restore the music to your computer using the backup you should have made of your data before you re-formatted it. If you didn't back up your computer, you will have to pay for software to try and extract it from the phone.

"An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer" error on sync

I recently resurrected an old original iPhone to use as an iPod touch (no phone contract) and started syncing it to my home Mac Mini, which is where I sync nearly all of my iPhone 3G data from. I can't honestly say which was the last iPhone to successfully sync, but I just docked my iPhone 3G for the first time in a few weeks and got an error, "An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer". It's only allowing me to either set it up as a new phone, or to restore from either my 2G or 3G iPhone backup.
I don't want to restore; I've added a load of apps, notes, photos, etc since the last archive on that Mac Mini.
NOTE: This home Mac Mini syncs all the iPod content to my 3G. My MacBook Pro syncs the Pictures to the 3G. And all calendar/contact data is synced OTA (over the air).
(I have been regularly syncing/backing up to my MacBook Pro while I've been on the road. So I do have a valid archive on that system.)
I don't understand why I'm getting this error. It's almost as if I can't sync multiple iPhones to the same computer, but AFAIK that's not correct.
I suppose I could move an archive from the MBP over to the Mini and restore from a valid archive, but that seems obtuse.
What would cause this error? I can't update my music/tv/podcasts on here until I get this sorted out… bugger!
thanks

Thank you for your response will2b but I am looking for a solution for the problem that I cannot sync the same phone with the same computer I have been for a couple of months now. It shouldn't matter that I did not sync my phone for a couple of weeks. I should still be able to sync the same phone to the same computer. This is obviously some kind of software glitch and I am looking for a solution.
some advice from blacksheepia:
I had been having issues with having good reception in a suburb within close proximity to Los Angeles. Called ATT and they were able to synchronize my phone while I am at home to a closer cell site and that has improved things a great deal. Also I was told that you should turn the phone off at a minimum of once a week and if possible more times to reset it and give it time to rest and cool off. The other thing I have discovered may be the actual way that the phone is constructed. Today I was using it at home in the same room and noticed the bars go down and come up when I changed how I held it. I thought their was no possible way that it could be that simple, but after changing the way I held it 5 times alternating from gripping my whole hand around the back with my palm and just finger gripping from the sides and making sure I was not blocking the back of the phone, well as much as possible, the results were that I had 4 to 5 bars of reception. Now this may seem crazy, but there is a possibility that this could be the cause of bad reception if the antenna is in the back shell of the phone and by blocking it with your palm you could interfere with the reception. Crazy I know, but I have heard of much crazier things with new phones and technology.

Iphone Sync Error. attempting to copy to the disc c:\ you do not have enough access privileges for this operation sync

Nothing has changed, all i am trying to do is sync my iPhone 3GS to my iTunes (Latest Update).
After clicking sync it attempts to do so, it gets to the backing up stage, then soon as this completes i get the following 2 errors right after eachother.
the iphone "name" cannot be synced, you do not have enough access privledges for this operation
(Click OK)
Attempting to copy to the disc c:\ you do not have enough access privileges for this operation sync
Then Sync cancels and nothing is done,

Has anyone experienced this error when syncing your iphone..."iphone could not be synced b/c the connection the iphone was lost"????

i have been trying to sync my iphone and keep getting the following error: iphone could not be synced as the connection to the iphone has been lost"....suggestions please.

Try one or more of the following troubleshooting steps:
Connect the phone directly to a USB port on the computer, not to a USB hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except the iPhone, keyboard and mouse.
If it's a desktop or tower computer use a port on the back of the computer rather than the front.

HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

How can I get back to syncing my Ipad, and Iphone 4 the old fashion way

I have installed upgraded itunes, upgraded my Iphone operation system to 5.1, and installed Icloud. This is where the problems all began.
Icloud and I have everything (contacts, calendar events, photos) so messed up, it would take a Apple Surgeon to fix it all. Is there a way to start over and go back to syncing my ipad, and iphone with itunes....it was sooooo easy and all units were the same.
If I connect today, USB to computer and itunes, it will sync however add duplicates everywhere? I just wanna go home ! Removing Icloud from all three devices, Computer, Ipad 2, and Iphone 4

Pictures are not stored in iTunes.
Any pictures taken with the device, like with any other digital camera, are designd to be copied off the device to the computer on a regular basis. Via iTunes, pictures that the user chooses to have on the device can be synced back.
As Ralph stated, updating iTunes will not affect the media in the library. That being said, it has always been very basic to maintain a backup of important files. If you do not currently have a backup of your important files, I would strongly encourage you to make one.
