Unknown error backing up Iphone 5

Hello All,

My Iphone 5 currently will not accept my WiFi password. It works on other networks ( work) but not my home network. Worth noteing within my network I also have PS3, iPhone 4s, Smart TV, a laptop and a blue ray player which all have connected wirelessly. So after talking to my IP, I have come to the conclusion that I will try A factory install on my iPhone.


So I went to backup my Iphone 5 through Itunes. After clicking back up now a pop up comes up about 5-10 seconds into the backup. It reads " iTunes could not back up the Iphone ' #%$@& iphone' because an error has occured."


Now this error occurs both when I back up to the cloud as well as to " This Computer"


I just bought an imac 2012 about a month ago. This is the first backup I have attempted. This is also the first mac computer I have owned so I am also new to the OS.



My stats are as follows: - Iphone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 ( as I understand is up to date )

- Itunes version 11.0.2 64-bit ( also up to date)

- iMac13,2 intel core i5 2.9 GHz 8GB RAM

iMac OSX 10.8.3 ( I also believe is current version )


In regards to my original problem with the the network. I have so far tried to force reset. As well as forgetting my home Network. There doesn't seem to be much else I can do from my iPhone.



Any response would be greatly appreciated. I have tried to apply the image of the error box but for some reason when I add the picture the insert image button doesn't do anything. So for sack of my sanity I am going to post this and work at it 🙂


Thanks

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.3
