In this thread he discusses this problem and even finds a solution. Great work juan152.

 I was able to solve it!

So, I have a Windows 7 (64-bit computer) with the latest updated iTunes and it woudn’t want to restore my iPhone to a backed up version I had a few days ago. These are the steps I took to fix it myself.

What I used: 2 Laptops (Windows 7 laptop and Windows Vista Computer) and an external hard drive.

1. On my Windows 7 computer, I went to C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/Mobile Sync/Backup/[a huge set of numbers/letters] and put all the files of the earliest folder (as it is the most recent backup) into my external hard drive for transfer. ***Note: In order to view AppData, you must Unhide all hidden folders from the control panel***

2. I transferred the folder from my external hard drive to my Windows Vista Computer in C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/AppleComputer/MobileSync/MobileSync/Backup….

3. I connected my iPhone to my Windows Vista Computer, right clicked my iPhone in iTunes and “Restore from Backup.” The huge folder that I copied from my hard drive to my Local Disk Drive C:/ was there and it was able to restore!

Good luck! This took me 3 hours to figure out!

backup session failed: Apple Support Communities

backup session failed: Apple Support Communities. Turns out that if you use Xcode you should reinstall iTunes. I wonder how many people use Xcode?

Yes I read those articles but I found the correct answer elsewhere.

In one of the discussions, someone suggested that after downloading the latest version of Xcode, we better re-download de latest version of iTunes as well.

I effectively downloaded Xcode a few days ago.

So I downloaded iTunes again as stated in the discussion.

And indeed, it works now fine !

So thank you all for your kind assistance.

It a pleasure being part of this community.

Pondini solves it. How exciting it is when things work correctly.

Timemachine is Backing up again. What i have done:

Started Festplattendienstprogram (Harddisk Repair Program) and performed the check. The result was ok = green. (Like Pondini proposed, thanx!)

I stopped Timemachine by performing a reboot.

I deaktivated Timemachine backup.

I ereased the “Backup-in-progress-file” in the Mac mini Servers backup.

I started an manual Backup and this went ok.

After that i restard automated backup again.

So im am fine now!

Thanxs to everyone.

Migrate Time Machine backup to new Mac in Lion | Operating Systems | Macworld

Migrate Time Machine backup to new Mac in Lion | Operating Systems | Macworld. This is a very thoughtful thing for Apple to do. Sometimes I am surprised by the thoughtfulness they put into their products. Other times I am surprised by the overt marketing that exists. I suppose it is a hard thing to balance the needs of the users against the needs of Apple.

Synology Disk Station DS1511+ NAS server – Serial ATA-300. I had a reader search for this today and I didn’t have any articles. The Synology Disk Stations are all Time Machine compatible. These are a great way to do network backups.
