back up now" not selectable

iPhone 5s - iOs 12.5.1 (updated 13.02.2021 h.17.16)

Successful iTunes diagnostic tests.


ITunes "sees" the device, but in the backup screen the "back up now" button is not selectable. Instead, the reset button is.

How can I solve??

I found that iTunes messages are very puzzling in most cases...

In this case I had no error messages at all;

in a previous case I solved "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected" by freeing up some space in my drive: I tried all these tips https://deciphertools.com/blog/2014_12_09_iphone_could_not_restore_disconnected/ but nothing solved!!!


So, look beyond appearances!!!!!!!!! ;-)
