My mac book air has enough space to back up my iPhone but will not due to insufficient space?.
how do I get it to back up as I need a new phone.
MacBook Air 11″, macOS 10.12
Your MBA does not have enough space if iTunes says it doesn’t. You can try deleting old backups to see if that frees enough space→Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
What about the OTHER space on my phone? Music says my iPhone SE 1st Gen ( 32 GB ) is using 25.71 GB with 378.9 MB Available. That does not add up. And I can't backup my phone to do a factory reset or the other out of date solutions suggested.
I ended up doing a restore and reloading the backup. Mostly okay - The Encrypted Process verification is not working - maybe in the morning it will. Don't want to hav etc look up a bunch of passwords. Phone showing lots of free space now.
Actually, the Encrypted Process verification is working perfectly; you didn’t enter the correct password that you created the first time you made an encrypted backup. It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do; protect the security of the data your backup.
How much free storage does your Mac show it has at the Apple menu > About this Ma > Storage?
