My ipad quit backing up and it cannot find the file.  I tried putting on another computer after a hard reset but it says it cannot back up there either.

My ipad quit backing up because it cannot find the file.  I have tried a restore and hard reset and adding itunes to another computer and putting it on there but it still will cannot add the ipad to the new computer and back up.  I have an iPad (not iPad 2) and 5.01 OS.  It appears that my iPad is not fully fuctional since I updated to the new OS which is when my ipad stopped backing up.  I lost data too and some apps don't work anymore.

Have you previously synced photos to the iPad, as that occasionally causes the 'missing file' error. If so then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try backing up - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314.
In terms of apps not working, if it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Ned to back up files.  Trying to reformat a WD 1TB external hard drive but my utilities keeps saying "choose scheme from volume pop up menu.." also says cannot be modified.  What can I do?!

    Help would be appreciated! Before I upgrade my 10.6.8 OS X I need to back up files.  Trying to reformat a WD 1TB external hard drive but my utilities keeps saying "choose scheme from volume pop up menu.." also says "this partition cannot be modified."  What can I do?! Take it back to Currys!  Many thanks

    Select the Top Most Entry for that drive, it will be the drive model # and have the size listed, then go to the Partition tab and select One Partition from the Partition Layout area drop down. Then select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format, if that is the format you want to format it AS. Then click the Options button near the bottom of that windows and select GUID as the Partition Table. Close the options screen and clcik the Apply button.

  • The System cannot find the file specified (0x80070002) backing up

    Hi,
    What program are you using to backup? Are you creating a system image or just some other files.
    There is a  Blog from the storage team at Microsoft that may have the answer to the issue.  It covers common issues and solutions to backup problems.
    I recommend using the free or paid version of Paragon Software's  Backup & Recovery 2012. It is more reliable than the Windows built in backup program and simpler to use. Free backup programs .
    Best regards,

    Hi,
    I am not sure if your question is realted to the Oracle Application Server - anyway, if you are packaging a class file and a properties file in a JAR File, you need to read the contents in a different manner...something like this... :
    URL url = new URL("jar:file:/home/duke/duke.jar!/");
    JarURLConnection jarConnection = (JarURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    You might want to have a look at this link for more information :

    You may also get better responses if you post your question in one of the Java Forums.

  • Outlook 2010 - sending mail with attachment - "The system cannot find the file specified"

    Hi forum Fellows,
    I have the following failure scenario:
    1. A user receives an e-mail with an attachment.
    2. The user opens the attachment --> Forwards the mail and writes something in the body of the e-mail
    3. For whatever reason the user leaves the e-mail and works on something else --> the user comes back to the e-mail an hour or more later.
    4. The user then wants to send the e-mail but gets the following error message: "The system cannot find the file specified"
    5. The effect is that the user cannot send the e-mail.....
    ------------------------------ TROUBLESHOOTING -----------------------
    - I can see that when the user opens an attachment this attachment is saved in the OutlookTemp folder. Actually, there is a difference between opening the attachment before or after clicking forward on the e-mail.
    ---- Before: Two files is written to the OutlookTemp folder. For example if the attachment name is FileX.pdf - there will be a FileX.pdf but also a FileX (2).pdf in the folder (if OutlookTemp is empty/do not contain a file with the name FileX.pdf already)
    ---- After: Only one file is written to OutlookTemp. That is FileX.pdf
    - Running Process Monitor when trying to forward the e-mail I can see that Outlook is calling a file that is not in the OutlookTemp folder anymore.
    **** To me this is the heart of the issue. For some reason, when a user has an e-mail with an attachment open for an extended period of time (not sure on exactly how long is necessary), files in the OutlookTemp folder is deleted - files that Outlook is depending
    on to be there.
    - Going with a totally clean OutlookTemp folder does not help.
    ------------------ NOW WHAT ---------------
    - The question now is: Is this by design? Can it be fixed by some Outlook 2010 patch? Or perhaps a group policy/registry setting as a workaround.

    Hello Red Baron,
    Although not a complete answer, the way to treat attachments in emails require some discipline:
    1. Never open an attachment directly from the email (and NEVER edit it from there). Always save it in a known location as the desktop or (better) in a designated document folder. Then you can proceed as usual, like editing the contents, printing, forwarding
    the new version etc.
    2. Directly forwarding the attachment is ok, along with additional text in the body of the email.
    3. Having any (unsaved) document open for several hours should
    never occur. What if there is a power outage?
    Bottom line is thus Discipline. This is regardless of Operating System (which might handle temporary files differently).
    These are the rules I teach my customers and they never leave any document unsaved for hours ...
    Best regards George

  • „The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)" - Error when trying to create an new controlled GPO

    Hello,
    we were planning to Upgrade from AGPM 4.0 to AGPM 4.0 SP2. The new AGPM should be placed on a new server. Additionally we created a new service account as the password of the old service account has been lost. We granted the new service account Full Rights
    in "Domain Delegeation" and "Product Delegation", then stopped the AGPM Service on the old server.
    On the new server AGPM was installed using the new service account, then the service was stopped and the archive was copied rom the old to the new server. The customer could edit policies, but not deploy them. Because of this, we changed back to the old
    server, but copied the folders that were changed on the new server to keep them up to date.
    Now creating a controlled Group Policy from a template causes the error
    „The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002). We tried several templates and even created new ones but the problem persists.
    The following things do work:
    - editing a controlled policy
    - renaming a controlled policy
    - check in/check out of a policy
    - set a uncontrolled policy to controlled (needs to grant the serviceaccount Full rights to the policy before)
    - deletion of a controlled policy
    - creating a template from a policy
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    0x80070002 usually means that the source could not be found or located. Make sue that the FQDN path to your templates is the correct one as well as your DNS is
    properly configured.

  • Cannot find the file 'startWebLogic.cmd"...

    I installed to 7.0+Cajun to d:\bea3 as my beahome. I have two other BEA homes d:\bea
    and d:\bea2. I made my user-domains folder name to be "domains". Otherwise its
    a standard install. I'm on NT.
    When I try and start the WLS server from inside Workshop, I get the following
    error message:
    "Cannot find the file 'startWebLogic.cmd' (or one of its components). Make sure
    the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available."
    I dismiss the dialog and Workshop will continue showing a progress bar and I have
    to cancel it.
    Looks like a standard path problem. Is anyone else getting this out of the box?
    Should Workshop.cmd be setting up the path to the sample workshop WLS? An easy
    workaround is to start the server manually outside of Workshop.

    Actually, Peter and all,
    No need to send me the files listed below as I woke up after re-reading your
    post. There is an issue we are tracking down with regards to what Mike
    Wooten said on an earlier post and those people running on Windows NT4.x
    only, seems the start command changed somewhat for the better in Win2K.
    If you ARE running on Windows 2000 and you are still seeing the problems
    outlined below, please reply back with the files attached and we will get
    someone on looking at your issue.
    Since this beta is targeted at Win2K and Solaris only, the solution will
    have to be starting it from the start menu which you have mentioned
    previously. We are tracking this as an issue from beta and will probably
    support NT4 for the GA.
    Thanks for letting us know !

    Peter,
    Thank you for your question. In order for me to better narrow down the
    problem, would you please either post or send me the Jellybeans.properties
    file from d:\bea2\weblogic700b\samples\workshop and your .Jellybeans (note
    the period at the beginning) from your %systemdrive%\documents and
    settings\%username% folder ?
    This information should help us determine what the issue you are running
    into is. Other people are seeing this issue out of the box though I have
    had trouble reproducing the problem and need some more input to determine
    where it lies.
    The installer should be setting the properties for the "start path"
    correctly during install.
    Thanks,

  • I click a URL, General Failure, the system cannot find the file specified, then the site comes up.

    If there is a URL on a site to go to for more information. When I click to go there, a window comes up with: General Failure, (repeats the site address) and says - The system cannot find the file specified.
    Then the address I clicked on comes up after that window.

    I tried opening Firefox before clicking on links in e-mail. and it works without that General Failure popping up.
    Why should I need to open Firefox before my e-mail to stop a very annoying process? I never had this problem until I upgraded to Firefox 4.
    Boy how I wish I could go back to the old Firefox because it was so much easier to use. Sometimes progress is not good!!!
    I hope there is something that can be done to correct this problem.
    Thanks for your response.

    I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
    of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
    "Restore" functions, not the
    "Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
    So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
    but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
    The 3 backup problems are:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
    Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
    some recent Windows update.  Thanks.
