After I sync my ipod I'm getting the message that it cannot backup ipod because backup could not be saved on this computer does anyone know what I could try to resolve this issue?
After I sync my ipod itunes is giving me the message that backup for my ipod cannot be saved on the computer does anyone know what I could do to fix this issue?
Check out this Apple document -> iTunes: "Backup could not be saved on the computer" alert message
To resolve this issue, delete the backup in iTunes Preferences and then create a new backup. If you would like to retain a copy of the backup, you can move the backup file to a different location. The backup is located in the locations below.
On Windows Vista and Windows 7:
\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To delete the backup file:
Open iTunes Preferences by choosing iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows).
Select Devices.
Select the device backup to delete.
Click Delete Backup. iTunes will ask if you are sure you want to delete the backup. Click Delete Backup.
Click OK.
To manually create a new backup, right-click (or Control-click) iPhone on the left side of the iTunes window under Devices and choose Back Up from the shortcut menu.

I'm trying to use "Sync My Itunes" to use my Ipod Touch in my 2011 Ford Escape. I keep getting an index is full and all songs may not play message. When I use the "Sync My Itunes" I always get the message that Itunes is busy and to try again later. How do I get this to work? I can't reset my Ipod without losing all my 4,000+ tunes. Help!
The "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" solution did not work for me, but this did:
In your iTunes library, make sure the "iCloud Download" column is showing (looks like a little cloud icon). Check for any songs that have a light gray cloud icon. Do whatever you need to do to make this icon disappear for that song (get iTunes to make sure it's downloaded onto your machine, or delete the song). Run Sync My iTunes again and it should finish.
Notes:
- Plugging in your iPhone/iPod might cause these songs to get copied back into your library, and you'll have to do this again.
- I didn't start having this problem until I bought Match
How I discovered this:
I noticed that it stopped every time at song #1242 in my library, so I ran "Sync My iTunes (Debug)" to see which song it stopped on. Then I went back to my library, found the song, and noticed it had the light gray cloud icon. It also had a local copy of the song already. I think iTunes gets confused sometimes and forgets that it downloaded a song from your cloud library, then tries to download it again even though it's already on your computer. Then it realizes the file's already there, and doesn't download it. However, it leaves it in your library flagged as an incomplete download. Sync My iTunes triggers iTunes to attempt download, which then makes it look like iTunes is busy. My theory at least... -

After updating to OS X Mountain Lion, there is a password locked pdf document in the Downloads Stack. Does anyone know what password is required to access this file?
Hello, if your install disk is locked (I assume with FileVault) there is no way to change the password. If it weren't locked there were at least two solutions. As far as I know, the only solutions now are:
- contact your dad
- erase and reinstall the OS X clean
Let us know. -

I have a MacBook Pro with all the necessary requirements.Here are a few things to try:
Restart your Modem and Router.
Reset iTunes Store Cache (iTunes Preferences, Advanced tabl)
Delete the App Store plists (close App Store first):
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
To get to these,iIf you still have your user Library hidden, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder. Otherwise, just go into your home folder, then Library, and then Preferences. -
Hi I have mac os x 10.6.6 and need to update however keep getting the message " software update server ( 172.22.13.4 ) is not responding". My internet connections are all working. Any ideas how to solve this?
If you have enough room on the boot drive, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create another Admin Account, log out and into it and try your Software Update again.
If this doesn't work, connect a Ethernet cable to the router or modem (power off/on) and try again.
If this doesn't work then run through this list of fixes.

If I tunes indicates that I have 4.29GB free on my 4S, then why do i get the message that it cannot complete the sync because of inadequate available space?
Not the case. There is a sync issue. I tried to un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). as suggested in another thread, but cannot remove the music from my phone (in an attempt to free up space as you intimated.)

For some reason the Apple ID window in iTunes and App Store now seems to suddenly have a character number constraint which prevents me using my 29 character Apple ID. As a result I am unable to enter the final few characters of my Apple ID which I have had for many years. Does anyone know what has caused this?
You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. They are both correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac. i use mac mail and it is my companies server. I took my computer and iPhone to the Apple store...4 hours later they said that couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Any suggestions???? I am also not able to log into the C-Panel...
Same here! Happened yesterday to me on New iPad and iPhone 4S. On iPad I managed to correct it by removing the account and activating it again as an Exchange account...I have mail and calendar OK!
On the iPhone nothing seems to work!
Facts:
1. everything worked perfectly for years!
2. I have the 2-step authentication deactivated on my google account so it cannot be this one.
3. On desktop everything works just fine, on iPad everything is OK with Exchange account added (after Google removed support for Exchange account access I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DEVICE with Google Exchange account, so doing the same on the iPhone does not work!)
4. Tried to remove and add the account again - no results.
5. Tried to remove and add as Google, as Exchange, as Other account - I get calendar but no mail!!!
6. Tried to reboot between remove/add accounts - no results.
7. Tried to ("reset settings") reset the device - no results.
8. Tried to add as POP account and I it worked - I get mail but I do not need POP as I am using zounds of mail with labels and need to be working on an IMAP account
9. To make things even more complicated...I have another account which works perfectly!!!!!

I am trying to set up my daughter's iTouch. I am connected to our Wi-Fi, and have confirmed this in Settings, but when we try and open any webpage we receive the message that page cannot be opened because not connected to the Internet. I have already re-set the iPod, have shut-down and restarted, and told the iPod to "Forget Network". please help - i am going bananas!
Encryption wouldn't matter except for Wifi.
While 10.2 might help, there's not much you can do on the Internet these days with less than 10.4.11

I keep getting the message'Itunes library cannot be read because it was started by a later version' - I had to recently reset my computer to an earlier version as I had a printer problem
Then you either need to upgrade iTunes again, or fish out the older version of your library from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (inside <Profile's Music>\iTunes) that corresponds to the older version of iTunes you are now using. You can rename the current .itl file as say iTunes Library (10.5).itl and then rename the copied file as iTunes Library.itl.
