| Aug 22, 2014 at 17:05 | comment | added | Kelly | Additional info for this old post: Many times, iTunes will create a snapshot backup right before performing a restore. Likely there is a permissions issue or disk space issue happening during this safety backup process. Since the time of the original post, iTunes has changed the wording to mention available disk space if that is the problem. | |

Do you know what the permissions are on the Backup folder in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/?
