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

  • Iphone 3GS error when trying to restore and update

    I took my old Iphone 3GS and tried to run an update on a new Itunes acct so I could use like a ipod since my other acct is tied to my current phone. Itunes did a restore and then errored when it tried to update with the latest software. Now it is only showing the image of a USB cord to be plugged into Itunes and my Itunes is not seeing the phone anymore.
    Please help if there is a way...I did the troubleshoot on the device before and updated drivers. They were current before the restore and my computer still sees the iphone under upspecified - Apple Mobile USB Device Driver.
    Thank you very much for any advice you can offer.

    Thank you for the quick response and I went throught the step shown but iTunes is still not seeing my device in itunes menu when i do this action. The phone is also still showing the connect to itunes screen and no pop-up to restore has happened. I tried the steps 3 times.
    Also, I tried to troubleshoot the device and see if that would correct the computer seeing as it did before but it says there is no problem with the device.
    any other thoughts?

  • Syncing error when trying to add songs, please help.

    My ipod nano has suddenly stopped letting me add music to it from itunes and just says that it is unable to sync. Is there a way to fix this without resetting and deleting all of my music? And it is not due to a lack of space since I still have 1.32G left.

    Hi
    This is exactly what has happened to both our iPod nano's recently, one older model and one new one. Very annoying, I have restored them both and synced them again but get the same error 13019 message.
    Both iPods are pretty new and out iMac is only 4 months old.
    This has basically rendered them useless, surely they are not meant to be that disposable?
    Have looked at the above suggestion which to a feeble minded person like me seems a complicated way of possibly fixing something which to my mind is a fault?

    Hello Lien,
    The problem is because the files in read only mode. Remove the read only property of the file from its properties. The issue will be solved.

  • Error 0x8078002A when trying to back up windows 7 to my seagate hard drive

    Hi,
    I keep getting this error when trying to back up windows 7 to my new seagate hard drive. It says ' one of the files could not be created... because of an I/O device error.
    I have tried restarting the computer and then backing up but that didnt work.

    Regards
    Ellie

    Hi,
    Firstly follow these steps to check the disk:
    1. Type cmd.exe in the start search box, and click Run as administrator.
    2. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
    Chkdsk /R X:
    Note In this command, X: is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume that you want to check.
    3. Press Y when you are prompted to check the disk the next time that the system restarts.
    4. Close all applications, and then restart the computer.
    Note During the restart process, Windows checks the disk for errors, and then Windows starts.
    5. After the computer restarts, repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other volume, and then rerun the backup operation.
    And then backup again for test.
    If the issue persists, follow this thread to see if it works:

  • Keep getting sync service error when trying to connect my iphone 5S.

    Keep getting sync service error when trying to connect my iphone 5S. It freezes itunes and I can't do anything else. I see that there is an update for my phone and I need to back up, upload new apps, etc before installing. I plug my phone in and get this error every time. I am using a Win 7 SP1

    Howdy Susie48825,
    It sounds like you are getting an error that mentions the sync services when you connect your phone to your computer and so you cannot sync your device. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article that  mentions an error regardign the sync services named:
    iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2690
    Start with these steps:
    1. Check that iTunes is up-to-date
    Ensure that you have updated to the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Reset Sync History
    Resetting your Sync History is a simple step which may resolve some syncing issues. If this works, iTunes will prompt to Merge or Replace the information on your device when you next attempt to sync. To reset your Sync History:
    Disconnect your device.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Devices tab.
    Click the Reset Sync History button, and then reconnect your device.
    If this resolves the issue, and you know all of your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your 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 persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
    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" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
    Click Apply.
    There are additional steps to use in the article if needed, but these will get you started.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • I have recently upgraded to an iphone 5. When trying to sync/ back up with my current i tunes settings. I get the message the it 1.6GB over the storage capacity. Although when syncing my i phone 4 (same size 16GB) i do not have any problems?

    iOS uses more memory on the iPhone 5 than the iPhone 4 because there are quite a few more to iPhone 5. Therefore there will be less memory available on the 5. Reluctantly iOS 7, coming this fall, uses a bit less memory than iOS 6 so if you can do without a few apps until then you should be gravy!

    Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....
