I'm getting the "iTunes could not backup because an error occurred" with no error code. I've tried reading everything I could find for different fixes and nothing has worked.

Tried:
force backup by right click and select backup
Hard iPhone reset
kill iTunes and apple processes, restart iTunes
computer reboot
uninstall iTunes, re-install, reboot pc
delete photo cache from pc
delete all iPhone backups from pc
killed windows firewall

***found a post with similar issue and person fixed it by removing XBMC and icefilms off of an ipad****

All I had to do was remove XBMC from my iphone and itunes backup worked perfect.

It's a Verizon iPhone 4 running ios 4.2.6. XBMC was the latest eden beta. Now I can upgrade to 5.0.1!

I had the same issue and resolve it by deleting my old back up:

I had the same problem and I got an message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone". That was really bad. What's worse, when I tried to backup to iCloud, it threw me a message say iCloud the last backup could not be completed. I thought it should not have something to do with storage (the free 5 GB) or network. I was not sure what the cause was so I tried every means I learned from Google, but still failed. Then I gave up on that and tried another way - to backup iPhone to PC.
