When trying to do a back up to my computer, iTunes claims I do not have enough memory. I have more than enough. What gives?

This error happens since there is no enough space in your harddrive for itunes to use for backup. If you are using windows, check the used memory in properties of 'Appdata' folder in C:Users. Then you can further drill down and find out which folder occupies the most data. You can delete unwanted data in these folders to fix this error.

Move media files to another partition so that you can get some space.
