Q: Error code (-54) Backing up apps and new purchases from phone to I-tunes failed.

I am attempting to backup my 4S to a Tosh laptop that I have not synched to before.  I receive a message that it "cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred.  (-54)"  I tried both I-Cloud backup and local backup.  The computer asked me whether I wanted to back up my "new apps" and new purchases on my phone to my I-tunes library.  The Synch began I-tumes began to synch, then backup.  When I-tunes began to transfer the apps and purchases, I got two error messages saying the same thing.... 

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
