Q: iPhone 5 disconnecting from iTunes

I am running iTunes 12.2.0.145, 64bit & IOS 8.4 on my iPhone 5. I keep getting the message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "iPhone" because the iPhone disconnected." I connect to the internet through the Personal Hotspot on my phone so I must be connected. Windows 7 operating system on PC. Any advice would be appreciated.

iPhone 5, iOS 8.4, iTunes 12 on Windows 7

Hi there Tosmos,

It sounds like you are unable to complete a backup of your iPhone to your iTunes library. I would recommend the troubleshooting from the following article:
