Encountering errors during backup in Apple iPhone 3G

Asked By bart fuentes 10 points N/A Posted on - 02/07/2012

Hello, 

I’m using an apple 3G iPhone. An error message occurred while trying to give protection to my phone using iTunes 8.

The message is: "computer cannot save backup, so using iTunes iPhone backup is not possible".

I didn’t encounter any problems  on my previous backups  but now I’m facing this backup problem with my iPhone.

I restored my phone to get rid of this but the problem was not  resolved.

Please help me with the information about the error and a way to solve it?

Thank you very much.

2. Update to latest software:

 

Update the ITunes and computer’s (OS) to the newest version offered.

 

3. Verify Security Settings:

 

Mostly make copy problems happen attributable to out of date or incorrectly organized security computer code and firewalls. Disabling security computer code is unlikely to show off the protection method that's busy bodied with the backup. it's needed to quickly uninstall the third party security computer code to make a copy the iOS a device, if the recent version of that security computer code has not been updated since the newest ITunes unharnesses. Once backing up and syncing your device install and got wind of compatible security computer code. Security's computer code and utilities factory-made by firms aside from apple should be preserved so far to permit communication along with your pc and IOS device.

Resetting the imprisonment folder will solve this issue. If you'll back up as a replacement user don't reset the imprisonment folder.

 

6. Backing up from a distinct computer:

 

If the problems still persist of all the higher than steps, then try to make a copy in an exceedingly completely different pc that has a lively net association, updated ITunes and conjointly all the USB devices are removed."
