Backup : Could not start session with iphone

running 6.1.3 on an older iphone than I had before..

I want to back up my contacts from last OCT.

Every time I have tried it gives me "could not start session with iphone" with the apple error.

Does anyone here Have any suggestions on a proper thread or idea for me.

I am using my admin user to go about this task...

Searched here for a while still looking for the thread to help me..
