Unable to backup iphone after itunes 10.7 update in windows 7

After the update to iTunes 10.7 on Windows 7 64 bit today, I can't get my iPhone to back up to my computer.  I get a a message about being unable to establish a session with the phone.  This happens with my iPad as well.  Is this a known issue, or an update issue on my system?

Okay so, i had the same problem too. i reinstalled my windows and i was unable to get my itunes to backup my iphone. Luckily, before reinstalling the windows, i had saved the backup files of my iphone.
1.You can do this by going to: C drive/users/user/appdata/roaming/applecomputer/mobilesync/backup.
2.Note: windows computer do not show hidden files by default and appdata files are hidden.
to see the hidden files, visit http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Show-hidden-files
3. so next time you format and reinstall the windows, make sure you have backed up the iphone backup files.
4.so now after installing windows again and after reinstalling all the essential softwares, reinstall itunes and connect your iphone to itunes and authorise the computer.
5. go back to the iphone backup file storage location which is:
C drive/users/user/appdata/roaming/applecomputer/mobilesync/backup.
6. once you are there you will see that there are no back ups in that location which is quite obvious. now paste the backup files of your iphone ( The backup which you made before installing the windows). as soon as you do this, you will see that the tab whi read: Restore form a backup glows up and is Clickable.
7.so now, you have the backup and restore fully functional. for a safer side, make a new backup and transfer all the purchases to your  new itunes.

  • Can't backup my iphone after itunes 10.5 update

    Aaargh, since I updated itunes to 10.5 on sunday, I got some issues with either itunes or the iphone - can't tell which one is the problem. The update took 4 hours but seemed to work but now the iphone is not recognized as a device and its impossible for me to update to ios 5 Automated update process is interrupted by the alert " can't backup", manual backup is not working either since itunes seems to "hang".

    This solution totally worked for me:
    This solution has been documented on this forum by several people, but the solution is usually deep in multiple threads. I really don't know who came up with it first, but it does indeed work.
    I had an issue with iTunes.exe, APSDaemon, and AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe using 100% CPU per core. (Showed as 25% in Task Manager.)
    I could not backup my iPhone and the CPU spike happened as soon as iTunes 10.5 was started on Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
    This solved it.
    Sounds stupid but works:
    1. Quit iTunes.
    2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator")
    3. Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
    4. Reboot your machine.
    5. Restart iTunes.
    6. ???
    7. Profit!

  • Unable to Backup iPhone to iTunes

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but didn't seem to fix it. The process went very smooth, but same result. Right-clicking my iPhone on the left sidebar still doesn't give me the choice to manually Backup. Any thoughts?

    When I moved to a new computer recently, I found that resetting the iPhone helped.  Hold the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then try connecting to iTunes again.

  • After iTunes 7.6 update, iPhone is not recognized by iTunes

    I plugged in iPhone after iTunes update and a dialog box popped up that says "An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again."
    Phone is 1.1.3 firmware (update earlier in week and all was working great).
    I have wiped software, cleaned registry keys, and reinstalled iTunes on XP computer. I ran a restore process on the iPhone and bricked it. Installed iTunes on a backup Vista 64 Ultimate machine (iTunes works on this platform now, yay!) and restored the phone.
    Still hosed on XP, however.

    This is happening to me too, but I have an iTouch though. I guess I will try to restore it on another computer if it worked for you.

    Hello mzshay2u2,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac.  First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.

    If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

  • Unable to backup iPhone to PC

    Win8.1 PC & iPhone 5S.
    iTunes & iPhone SW are up-to-date.
    I've no interest in using the Cloud & want to backup my iPhone to my PC via iTunes.
    I have the "This Computer" box checked under Backups in iTunes & iTunes recognizes my iPhone.
    Music Playlists synch from iTunes-on-the-PC to the iPhone just fine when I synch (just purchased some songs, downloaded them to a playlist on the PC/iTunes then synched that list to the iPhone.
    Every time I synch I get the "backup failed" msg from iTunes with no explanation.
    When I try to manually backup the iPhone to the PC via iTunes, after a couple of minutes I get the error msg: "iTunes could not back up the iPhone [name of my phone] because the backup session failed." Duh - highly information, eh?
    All iTunes Diagnostic test passed. The only odd thing I notice is the statement: "Current user is not an administrator" which makes no sense to me in that I'm the only user of this PC.
    For years I've done this until the iCloud came to be last year  Ever since, I've not been able to backup to my PC.

  • Unable to Sync iPhone To iTunes

    Recently, I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.1.1, and I had no problem. I also updated my iTunes to the latest version, which also did not cause me any problems. Today, when I tried to sync my iPhone to iTunes via my laptop, I was greeted with an error message, stating that my laptop was not authorized to sync my device and it's purchases, which left me mystified, as I'm sure I had authorized my laptop. Upon attempting to authorize it again, I was informed that my laptop was already authorized for my iTunes account, which is the same one that I use on my iPhone. I'm not sure as to why this is happening, as my past attempts at syncing my iPhone to iTunes were all successful and I did not run into any problems. If you're wondering if I synced my phone to someone else's computer, I did connect my phone to my friend's laptop in school to charge, but, I did not authorize his computer, so, no syncing was done. Also, I did add a payment option to my iTunes account recently, and I purchased one application. I'm very perplexed by this issue, as I have already tried logging in and out of iTunes, and also, authorized and deauthorized my laptop. However, nothing seems to work. When my computer is deauthorized, no attempts to sync occur. When it's authorized, the unauthorizd error message pops up. Is there a known fix for this problem? I've tried restarting my phone as well. None of these attempts work at all. Is it my fault, or did Apple's new update cause a bug in iTunes? I've also tried plugging the USB cable into a different port, but it does not work. I'm able to see the internal storage, but it's only pictures. It appears that I can't transfer purchases made on my iPhone, because, when I'm syncing it, it takes a long time to transfer purchases, then, the bar doesn't even move. I'm just trying to sync a few new songs, but I can't get the damned thing to work. Well, after a while of frustration, the new songs appeared on my phone, but whenever I try to sync, I'm still told that my computer isn't authorized to transfer purchases. I only bought one item, and I'm sure it's not big deal, but I'm worried that my laptop may not sync important files or anything else because of the error.

    I guess this question doesn't matter anymore since I got my new iPhone 4 this morning and no longer use the 3GS.

  • TS1702 Unable to backup iPhone 3GS.

    Since the first iOS6 update my iPhone 3GS will no longer update the iOS because it has not been able to back up the phone anywhere (iCloud or Computer) since I did the initial iOS 6 update (Oct 2012).  The iTunes popup says "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "(phone's name)" because the iPhone disconnected.  Had any who had or still have the 3GS experienced this problem and been able to fix the issue?
