Hi, I also get the message "itunes could not restore the iphone because the password was incorrect" though I am never prompted to enter a password anywhere! Nor was the backup password encrypted to begin with! Really strange, any pointers will be greatly appriciated!

OK try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

I just got IOS 8.0.2 for my Iphone 5s and the touchpad is still not working, is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have a way to fix it?

I have an Iphone 5s, touchpad was working perfectly fine with IOS 7, but ever since I got the IOS 8 update the touchpad has not been working.

Messages (that came w Moutain Lion) will not deliver my messages anymore - cannot get it work. Anyone else having this issue?

Messages (the old iChat) was working great when I first downladed Mountain Lion. Since a few days ago, I cannot get messages to send any messages on my MacBook Pro and it won't send some messages on my iPhone (some work, some don't). I have tried quitting the program and restarting it, I have tried restarting the computer. I've gone into preferences and cannot find anything in there to change or fix...I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. Anyone w/ any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!

My problem is somewhat similar. I just replaced my iMac with a Retina MBP, and mostly everything migrated (except for a couple apps like XCode) and it's running fine, pretty much identical to the iMac. Messages was working fine on iMac (both have Mountain Lion latest update), and I'm getting all my messages fine on the RMBP, but every message I send errors out and resending errors out, haven't been able to get one delivered since I switched.
Is there any way to debug what is causing the time out error? I'm logged into my accounts properly, have restarted messages several times, turned off the original iMac in case of error, etc.
Edit: But I didn't reboot my RMBP, and of course, guess what? That fixed it. '
My guess is that because I had the iMac still running on the same network as sort of a twin to the new computer, it might have caused some sort of confusion that wasn't worked out until I restarted fresh with the iMac off. You would think that would only cause problems with recieving, not sending, but that's my theory.

Itunes could not back up iphone because backup could not be saved on the PC

I am not able to backup my iphone. After the last step it always comes up with this message "itunes could not back up iphone because backup could not be saved on the computer" . I tried all solutions mentioned earlier like changing time zone, deleting previous backups & manually backing up, changing user admin, running itunes as an admin, etc .
I guess my problem lies in the Camera roll. I deleted all my pictures in it and I am left with 3 images. I guess they are corrupt as I am not able to delete them. When I try to delete them from iphone gallery, it crashes. When I try to delete it from external devices like when its connected to PC, same problem occurs, cant delete these 3 pictures. I guess they are corrupt.
Can you please let me know what to do.I dont know want to restore to factory settins

I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.

I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all. After trying and trying I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet ". What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
Thank you.

Ok I tried to delete the backup by using your location via preferences, but I did not find any file, maybe because I've already deleted following the path to the disk. I repeat that I have 2 devices and the problem only occurs on one

Excellent!
Please note the following:
Note: iCloud Backup does not back up music, movies, and TV shows that you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, or any podcasts, audio books, or photos that you originally synced from your computer. iCloud Backup will restore your purchased music, movie, and app content from the iTunes and App Stores during the background restore process. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
The above comes from this article:

Best of luck with this.
