Why iPhone Backup is Stuck?

Reason 1: The cable is not original

We shall use the MFI-certificated cable to ensure the stable data transfer. The poor cable affects the data transfer and cause data loss. Therefore, please use the original cable to back up iPhone with iTunes.

Reason 2: The disk space is not enough

iTunes backs up all of the iPhone data up to dozens of GB. If the disk space is not enough, the iPhone backup process will be stuck. At this situation, you should free up the disk space.

In addition, since the large iTunes backup file is saved in the system disk by default, the overloaded system disk can slow down the computer. You can try to modify the backup storage position, or save the backup file to the external disk.

2. Pull down the menu and select [Preferences].
