Hello Badapple01,
We'd like to provide you with a few steps that may be able to assist you with using iTunes, to manually back up your device:
1. Make sure that your Mac or PC is up to date. If you're using iTunes, make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.
2. Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable and locate your device on your computer. If your device doesn't appear in Finder or iTunes, find out what to do. If you've forgotten your passcode or your device is disabled, find out what to do.
3. Restart all of your devices.
4. If you're using a Mac, skip this step. If you're using a Windows PC and iTunes won't respond or your backup won't ever finish, you may need to update, change, disable or uninstall your security software.
5. If you own more than one computer, try to make a backup on another Mac or PC. Or use iCloud to back up your device and restore information from your iCloud backup.
6. If an alert appears stating that an error has occurred, your backup is corrupted or incompatible or there's not enough disk space, take a look at the information below about each error message to find out what to do next.
