But my phone is working perfectly. I don't often plug my phone into my computer, just occasionally to back-up. Never an issue. Now as soon as it recognizes my phone it sends me to the screen where it asks me if I want to activate a new phone or restore from previous back-ups. I dont want to do this but don't immediately see a way around it. Running 4.1 and the second
To last (I think) version of iTunes. I tried to search this but don't know wha search terms to use.

While backing-up initially, I got an error, the gist of which was "cannot sync/ a file was specified and not a device". I didn't do anything to prompt this.

There could be a error code within the iPhone that needs to me reset thru restore... Had your phone entered safemode or unexpectedly reset?
 
No, the phone been perfect. I think something happened on the iTunes end during sync. I'm not really interested in restoring because I don't have faith that it'll go well. My phone is not jb'd nor have I ever tried.
