IPhone :: ITunes Could Not Back Up Because Error Occurred
Jun 13, 2012
Every since the last IOS update I keep getting this error. I tried several POC and phone resets and restarts. I tried removing the old backups and then reseting some more but I keep getting this error. "ITunes could not back up the iphone "iphone" because an error occurred". I searched online and I can't find any solutions that work. Is this Apples way of trying to force you to use iCloud or is there another way to restore my phone without using the restore function and losing my data?
Error Message: iTunes could not back up the iPhone because an error occurred. The thing is - I have no idea what error have I encountered! Usually, I would assume the previous backup file is corrupted and I will proceed to delete the old backups. I did the same this time round, and it's still unable to sync. Now I have no more backup files!I have tried -
1. Deleting old backup files.
2. Restarting iPhone 4S & iMAC.
3. Remove
I am using iOS 5.1 on iPhone 4S, and iTunes 10.6.1 on Mac OSX Lion. My phone is not jail-broken in the first place.
Info: iMAC 27", Mac OS X (10.6.4), 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
I've got a 16GB 3GS running iOS 4.0 and all of a sudden today the phone refuses to back up. iTunes is giving me the error "iTunes cannot back up the iphone because an error occurred."
It continues to sync after that and move apps and music around, but it won't back up. I tried again after that and it wouldn't sync calendars, contacts, notes, etc. Whats going on here?By the way this is on a Macbook with the newest updates for Snow Leapord and iTunes.
After upgrade an iPhone 4 to os 5.1, I can't restore the backup : while restore I get the error iTunes could not restore the iphone because an error occurred -1. I tried to reset the iPhone, but it restores alwayds whit os 5 and not 4. Each time I connect the iPhone, il runs un recovery mode, but recovery fails with error -1.
I recently updated my iPhone 4 to 5.1.1 and updated my iTunes to 10.6.3. Today I tried syncing my iPhone and after letting iTunes create a backup, it showed me this dialog: "iTunes cannot backup iPhone [name] because an error occurred." There was no error code included. I tried everything, I deleted my backups (i backed them up first (backupception lol)), I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, I rebooted my PC and iPhone.
I have iPhone 4G when I connect to iTunes its showing error and error is "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone beacause an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)".
when i connect my iphone to my pc i get "itunes could not connect to this iphone. An unknown error occurred (0xE8000012) i have the correct itunes i also tried to reset my phone, i did this before i went to bed and it was still trying to reset when i woke the next day should it take this long?
"itunes cou;ld not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone.Delete the back up for this iphone, then try again" when i try and delete the backup using edit>preferences>devices there is no backup.
When I start the update service(seus) i get the following error:"An error has occurred. See the log file c:program files(x86)Sony ericssonupdate serviceworkspace.metadata.log." <ok> I have uninstalled seus as pc companion, rebooted, downloaded the newest seus and installed it and rebooted but i still get the error.The .log file:
I'm using a 3GS on 3.1.2, jailbroken with Blacksn0w originally. I'm using an AT&T Pick Your Plan SIM (like I always have)
I'm trying to update to 4.0 with jailbreak using a custom cooked ipsw file with Snowbreeze 1.6.1 and keep getting error "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2)."
I've tried both DFU mode AND Recovery mode. I also remembered to remove Saurik's server ip in the hosts file. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling iTunes and rebooting. I even removed WiFi Sync software thinking that might have affected it somehow. I've uninstalled my vs/firewall software. NOTHING seems to work.
everytime i try downloading something from app store on my iphone it wont download, it keeps saying 'an unknown error has occurred' i dont know what to do. iv tried restarting my phone.
I tried updating my iphone to the newest software version today, it successfully loaded on itunes but when I plugged in my iphone to sync it, itunes told me that in order to update it I needed to restore my iphone, it is backed up so I said okay. My phone got through most of the process but then suddenly I got a message on itunes saying "The iphone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1)." "It has done this countless times
My phone won't restore and keeps coming up with error 21 . My security settings on my home computer haven't changed and the phone was only restored about 2 months ago. I have tried disabling my anti virus and stuff, but it still won't restore.
I'm using an iphone 4. I've the latest version of itunes, and i was using 5.0 firmware. Later i downloaded the latest firmware version and while i was restoring an UNKNOWN ERROR (14) occured and currently my phone is in recovery mode.
I am trying to restore an 3gs Iphone with the latest OS and all I keep getting is: The Iphone "Iphone" could not be restored. A unknown error occured (-1). The Iphone has not had Jailbreak so its not that.
