I just got myself a iPhone 5s and I am currently using iphone 4.
Both on 7.0.3

I did a back up for my iPhone 4 on iTunes and restore the backup on my iPhone 5s.

But error pops up.

Please help.
I tried to delete the other backup and did a fresh backup stil the same.
 
Enable icloud backup on your iPhone 4 and manually start it.

Do a factory reset of the 5S when the 4 is finished backing up and then restore the 5S from the most recent iCloud backup (which should say "your names iPhone 4" or something.)

iCloud backups usually never fail between device revisions. I wasn't even aware that people still did iTunes backups.

You might need to re-sync music etc but a new phone deserves a new playlist.
