when I try to back up my iPad to the computer it gives me a message saying it can't sync and cannot back up because there is not enough room in the iTunes library. How can I fix this? I need to back up the iPad content so I can restore it to a new 1

Pretty sure it doesn’t say there is not enough room in iTunes library because it is not backed up to the iTunes library.

What is the exact message?

Above is the message I get when trying to sync. This is definitely thinking different about math. I need 149 Meg, but there is only 3320 Meg available?


What?


iPad is running 8.1.1, Mac is running 10.9.5


There are about 167 GB available in the computer HD, and according to iTuens, there is 10.58 GB Free on my iPad.

So me thinks something else is wrong? Any ideas?


FYI: I am trying to update the iOS, but it says I need more space as well.
