Read/write usually happens when permissions don't align.
Locate your iPhone backup files and check the permissions for the folder. Make the Privilege "Read & Write".
If your back up is corrupted, you'll need to move your back up files to another location, then delete the back up.
It could be an encrypted back up issue. If so, try this:
Disable Auto Lock
Disable Passcode
Have device unlocked when starting the restore
Hopefully, someone else may have a better solution.

Hi, thanks again for u contacting me.
I found the backup folder and the were set as read only. I attempted to uncheck box but it remains checked.

I removed it and attempted to backup on my pc but only met with same error.

I also notice iTunes does list my device although iTunes does recognise it.

Any idea how I can enable iTunes to backup my phone.

You also get 5 gigs of iCloud backup free. Have you tried that just to make sure it works?

When you clicked on your iPhone, did you check "on this computer"?

Hi,

Thanks for assistance so far.

I always back up to iCloud. That's worked great for me since 2012. I don't even have a computer. At least you can do that. Then figure out the issue with iTunes.

Of course, as I am doing.

Thanks. I’ll prob get bored of my quest.

Sorted just by ticking encrypt local backup box

Hi me again.

I don't seem to anything in folder "MobileSynch", there are no backups there.

Does anyone have any idea how I can establish where this may now be?

You need to delete the drivers, reinstall iTunes and connect your iPhone to see if that does the trick.
