You have posted to an iPhone Thread in the iPhone Forum.
Suggest you start your own New Thread in the MacBook forum.
That's because it is a problem backing up my iPhone to iTunes. The fact I am doing it on a new MacBook that has recently been wiped of all files is simply background and confirmation that there should be more than enough memory to back a 32GB iPhone up.

Not necessarily... There are many variables.... Also could depend on if the Mac was Restored to Factory Settings or not... and this thread is over 18 months old.
Your choice though on how you wish to receive assistance.

Bezza4,
Did you go into iTunes and Authorize iTunes to your iTunes account? You might want to do that first. If that doesn't work, can you upgrade your itunes to the latest version?
It was a good shout, I hadn't done. I have now, but still getting the same error message. I am already using the latest version of iTunes.

Thanks for your input. And you are correct, it is my choice. And I have chosen to comment on a thread where people have experienced the same problem. A thread where people have provided useful information (that I have tried) thus preventing others posting the same information that exists in this thread, and despite the original post being 18 months old, the comment prior to mine is 2 days old!

Jul 8, 2013 1:56 PMby Bezza4,Still no luck.
Oddly, when I first tried to back it up yesterday, it said it couldn't because my phone was locked. So I unlocked it, and that's when I first got the message about there not being enough memory. Now I only get the error message about there not being enough memory, whether the phone is locked or not.... In other words, I don't get the message about the phone being locked.... So I wonder if it was attempting to back it up on my first attempt?!

Try that, and also, you might want to check your hard drive permissions using the disk utility. Good luck!

Jul 12, 2013 10:29 AMby flyingarmour,I've been fighting this for 18 months. I have a 2TB drive in my iMac and I have tried everything in the thread except the suggestion about going to the UNIX root level and working down there. I would have done that but someone else said they tried it and it didn't work.
I was replacing my iPad with a new one (new to me, an iPad 3) and they only way it could do a back up and restore was to go in and delete all the backup files, then immediately restore to the newer iPad. Just for giggles, I tried to back up my phone and the new ipad and got the same message on both of them again.
DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYBODY AT APPLE TO LET THEM KNOW THIS DOESN'T WORK?????????
I gone through lepord, snow lepord, Lion IOS5 ios6 and updating all the software.
NOTHING WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
