Why the hell won't my iPhone back up?!?!?!??!?

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. It has happened to me as well.

First things first, go into iTunes preferences > Devices and verify that you backup is or is not there.

Unless they are extremely new all your photos, contacts, and music will be on your MB.

I had been having the backup problem since i updated to 3.0
Would never do it and give the message that the phone was disconnected when it wasnt.

Well, i right clicked on my phone when it was plugged into itunes and clicked on the backup and for the first time in over a month it went thru the backup but when i go to preferences and device, it doesnt show up todays date that a backup was done. Did it usually show up right away?

Ah man. The July 31 backup is there. It showed up when I went to Preferences>Devices like you said; but when I chose restore before that, it wasn't showing up. Whew...

Thanks AGAIN for your help

You are on a roll today!

Its better for you to set up as a new device than restore from backup. Since all your info is on your MB I would go that route. You can save all your app-related data using AppBackup (not AptBackup).
