After 2.0.2 Upgrade, Backing Up Does Not Work...

Hello All!
I actually just had my 3G replaced by Apple initially because of applications failing to launch and then the iPhone just locked on reboot. Anyways, I got everything re-installed, re-synced, etc., and during the week my phone was gone, the 2.0.2 update was relased. I couldn't use the backup I had because it wouldn't let me use a 2.0.1 backup file, so I set things up from scratch and it works fine except....
*When syncing with iTunes 7.7.1 and 2.0.2 of firmware, it will take about 3-4 hours to back up. It results in a backup file with a phone name of Unknown (should be Jim's iPhone) and my last actual backup file is untouched. It sets the date of the Unknown file as 12/31/2000, which I don't think I'll ever use. I assume it's corrupted.* Did a search here with no luck, but it's easy to miss things.
Is anyone having problems just since the upgrade to 2.0.2 as well? It worked fine previously running 2.0.1 (before my phone was swapped). I have deleted all of the backup files and will try again tomorrow, but I'm totally confused what the problem is...why it takes so long and why it doesn't make a correct file or show a current Sync date. I'd appreciate any fellow commiserating with other users.
I'd appreciate the help! Thanks in advance...
Jim

I had backup problems too, with slightly different results.
I did a few app updates that caused EVERY app that wasn't installed with the OS to crash upon launch. My 5 day old backup was there, so I decided to Restore my iPhone. After the Restore iTunes didn't ask me what backup I wanted to restore. My 5 day old backup is gone from the backup folder. I can't even try to downgrade, restore, then update, so all of my data is gone. I'm steamed as all of my SMS are gone and I needed information from them, that I would have had, if we had cut and paste! Also, I can't imagine why, my voicemail is completely rest with NO messages or greeting! You can also add to oddities that none of my contacts have their pictures anymore even after syncing 8 times. I'm becoming more and more upset with my advanced iPhone.
Syncing is another oddity. Even after my 2.0.2 update (before restore) I was getting 60-100 minute syncing. This is a problem that many are facing, and it is very strange to still be getting such times. From doing research, the only things that are actually synced is settings data. Things like music, video, contacts... all things that are on your Mac/PC are NOT synced. So syncs are supposed to be quick. I'm finally getting <10 minute syncs at the moment, for the first time since I've had my phone.
You may want to backup your iPhone, then manually backup the backup (just in case), then try a restore. It may help with your sync times.

    I'm sorry to hear about the problem. In your case, you might want to call customer support. However, I don't believe your AT10LE-A is from Toshiba USA, and this is the forum for Toshiba USA. You should contact Toshiba in your region.

    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == I installed firefox

    Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

    Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test:  Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker.  Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
    Did you attempt to repair MS Office?  Test:  Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
    Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker?  Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker.  See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

  • HT2188 iPad 1 requested activation after being low on power. Activation does not work.

    Hi
    My iPad 1 requested activation after being low on power. Activation does not work so I have tried to restore it from iTunes.  this progresses but after rebooting, it gets to the activation process for a few minutes and re-boots again - in a loop now. on ios6, not 7. help please?
    I also looked at trying to do a manual install of firmware via iTunes but I do not know the version of firmware or how to find it out - so really stuck!
    Thanks

    I pulled my unit out of the dock - powered up and the display goes blank (if you look carefully you can see the bios boot screen, then black, then you can see the backlight turn off.
    I plugged in the USB monitor and boom - I could log in.
    Once Logged in I could see that windows still thinks it has some of the monitors from the dock, and the internal display is set to disable.
    So the issue is the detection / setup of monitors in/out of the dock.
    I've done about all I can do for dubugging, I hope lenovo can pick up from here. if not I'll have to call lenovo support.

  • Back button does not work and homepage does not show on startup

    My back and forward buttons do not work anymore. they just show grey and I can not click on them.
    Also my home page does not show when i start firefox.
    I reinstalled firefox 4 and then went back to firefox 3.6.16 and have the same problem in both versions.
    Not sure what to do anymore
    I just found out that when I open a second window everything works fine in the second window, but it still does not work in the first window.
    When I close both windows the same thing happens. The first window my home page does not show up and the back button does not work, but the second window works normal. Including my home page.

    Yeah, I am having the same problem (with 4.0 and earlier versions). It is really frustrating to say the least. I never thought I'd say this, but I might have to go back to IE if FF is going to be this useless. I noticed that you have to right click (instead of left click like it works in the real world) on the backwards/forwards buttons, and that is no less frustrating since my mouses backwards/forwards buttons no longer work with this new asinine button set up.

  • Back Button does not work after upgrade to F4.01, why?

    90% of the time, since my upgrade to Firefox 4.01, my Back Button (arrow) does not work. I know there's a referring page and it hasn't opened a new window. Ideas?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • After 10.5.4 upgrade Disk Utility does not longer format UBS FlashDrive to

    After 10.5.4 upgrade Disk Utility does no longer format disk to FAT32 only FAT16.
    I have use 2 different Mac to format my USB Drive and I still get FAT16 there is no drop down selection for FAT16 or FAT32. Both Mac are Intel and running the latest OSX 10.5.4. Actually, this happen after I upgraded to 10.5.4.
    just wondering is anyone out there having the same issue, if someone know a way to fix this will be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. The USB is a Lexar (it never gave me any trouble).

    In that case, you're looking at doing an Archive & Install installation. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545?viewlocale=en_US for details.

  • After upgrade date selection does not work in xml forms

    Hi Experts,
    since we upgrade the portal from 7.0.19 to 7.0.24 we have a problem with the timestamp in the xml forms in combination with IE7. When we click on the date selction button, the date screen appears and the form disappears. The only option we can choose is cancel and then the date selection screen disappears and the form is not comming back. Selecting a date en choose ok does not work. I tried with IE6 then it works fine. Before the upgrade it works fine with IE7.
    How to solve this?
    thanks in advance.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!
