Backup your iPhone in iTunes straight to External Hard Drive
Hi there, recently purchased a MacBook Air (250GB SSD) to
replace my old iMac (2009). On the old
iMac I was able to easily set up iTunes to back up both mine and my wifes
iPhones (both iPhone 8 with 256gb memory) straight to my 2TB external hard
drive so it didn’t take up on the memory on my ageing iMac. I have tried to do the same on the new
MacBook Air and followed the advice to create an alias ‘Backup’ so that it does
this, however every time I go to back up my phone it says that the ‘backup is
corrupt’ and I need to ‘delete the old versions of the back up in iTunes
preferences’. In preferences no previous
back ups exist, as I have never done them on this MacBook and I have checked in
Finder to ensure there are none existing.
This is realty frustrating, does anything know a simple way to do
this? Or has anyone experienced this
issue before?
