I have an iphone 4s. After the most recent update I've been unable to back up to my computer. I get a message saying "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because not enough free space is available on this computer. Removing files and emptying the Trash will free up additional space." But I currently have over 150gb free space. I followed the instructions anyway, but it had no effect.
iPhone 4S, iOS 6
Solution is quite simple: Turn off your anti-virus.
This happens because of some file the antivirus (falsely) identify as a virus, block the write to disk and iTunes reports that there's no more space on disk.

What is there is no anti-virus installed?
Can't back up iPhone 4s. "Not Enought Free Space" message.
