Another cannot back-up error

I've had this phone about 9 months (2nd handset due to hardware failure already) And im getting this error message "iTunes could not backup the iphone because the backup is corrupt or not compatible with this iphone, delete all backups for this iphone and try again". Now heres the deal I go to the edit/preference/devices and there is no back ups listed, its blank. I cant install the latest version of the OS without backing up. Currently I'm at 4.0.1. Any ideas? Oh and I tried turning off anti virus, firewall, ect and still no go.

Thanks! Works perfect this time and its even updating to the 4.1 iphone software. The worst part is I called apple support and after they tried to sell me more tech support for a unit that is still under warranty. I spent 3 hours and restoring my phone to original, lost all my settings and email accounts and still had the problem. The conversation ended with them telling me to call my computer help desk because windows was corrupted.... Now with your help and 5 mins its working like a champ! Great unit, both experiences with customer service have been horrible. Thanks again.

Another cannot find symbol error (DiveLog)

If you could help me, please explain it into terms that I would understand as I am still new to the entire language. Thanks

cannot find symbol: whatever class or method signature or variable you use was never declared. It's as simple as that. Make sure that the names are correct; if a class is missing (thanks a bunch for omitting the relevant part of the error message :p), ensure the compiled .class file is in the classpath, if a method isn't found make sure that the arguments are provided exactly in the same order, number and type as the method declaration declares, and if a variable is missing make sure that you actually declared it.
Learn about code tags when posting code next time, by the way.

Another "cannot find symbol" error :(

i'm new to programming, and i'm currently trying to make a program that can calculate the area of a pentagon...
right now i'm debugging the code online, since i do not have a program installed on this computer. Anyways, i get this error on line 17...can anybody tell me how to fix it and what it is?
AreaPentagon.java:17: cannot find symbol symbol : variable dataIn location: class AreaPentagon side = dataIn.readLine(); ^ 1 error
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class AreaPentagon
     public static void main(String[] args)
          //declare and construct variables
          double side;
          double pentagonArea;
          double strSide;
          //print promts and get input
               System.out.println("Area of a Regular Pentagon");
          System.out.println("What is the length of a side on the Pentagon");
          side = dataIn.readLine();
          //calculations
          pentagonArea = 1.720477 * Math.pow(side,2);
          //output
          System.out.print("The Area is: " + pentagonArea);
}

ok...it took me about 2 minute but i finally understand what your saying
AreaPentagon.java:17: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable dataIn
location: class AreaPentagon side = dataIn.readLine(); ^ 1 error
i understand the first line....java is saying a symbol is not found and that symbol is a variable and the name of the symbol/variable is dataIn
i did a little bit more research based off what david was saying, and it appears i didn't declare the variable. i figured out, thats because i was going off a previous code and i imported a package i wasnt using ("javax.swing.JOptionPane" instead of "java.io.*")
thank you both for the help!

Another "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found"-question

Hello people, as the title suggests, i have another question regarding the "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found" error. I have searched on Google and on these forums but i havent found an answer to my particular case (sorry if i overlooked it).
I work at a supportdesk for a company that uses Windows XP with Adobe Reader version 8.1.3.
Users are getting this error when they access a PDF file placed on a (mapped) networkdrive. Contrary to some other cases i have found on this forum, spaces are handled without a problem. But a comma in the name of one of the folders that contain the PDF file are what causes this error.
i.e.:
Opening the following path results in the error:
L:\X, Y & Z\adobe.pdf
Removing the comma so the path becomes:
L:\X Y & Z\adobe.pdf
works just fine.
So far our workaround has always been to simply remove the comma and move on, but I've been wondering why this comma is such a problem for Adobe Reader. As far as i know Adobe Reader is the only program we use that has this issue, M$ Word works just fine with it to name an example.
To sum my questions up:
- Why is comma (,) a problem for Adobe Reader?
- Have i missed any patches/new versions where this issue has been addressed?
- What is Adobe's stance on this, and are there any plans to "fix" this?

Ok, nevermind, we just found the problem
It's not Adobe Reader that is causing this, but another program the company uses to manage/distribute/authorise programs that users are allowed to access (Scense). I had never even considered another problem could have caused this for Reader.

While syncing iPad with my computer, i get an error message: cannot back-up to this computer

while syncing iPad with my computer, i get an error message: cannot back-up to this computer. I'd like to know why? Is it safe to download IOS6 if the ipad is not backed up?

This is the same computer that I originally synced with the iPad and the first backup worked. Is there any way too solve this problem so I can upgrade to iOS 6

My iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this, I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first.

my iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this, I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first. Original problem is that I cannot connect to any wifi system anymore - have tried resetting network settings but did not work.

Try 1 step at a time and do a backup, if no joy then do the next step:
1. Switching off your anti-virus and firewall.
2. Computer iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences... > Devices > delete your backup

When I try to send e-mail I get an error message stating that the e-mail address was rejected by the server. When I send to e-mail from another address, I get back an error saying the e-mail address is unknown. My e-mail has worked fine for years until

When I try to send e-mail I get an error message stating that the e-mail address was rejected by the server. When I send to e-mail from another address, I get back an error saying the e-mail address is unknown. My e-mail has worked fine for years until yesterday. HELP!

The specific text of the error message is very important here — I'm not sure exactly you're encountering here.
If you're able to connect to your email server and are able send email to other email addresses and if the failures are specific to one email recipient address, then please contact the intended recipient of the failing email, and confirm their address is valid. (This is the way I'm reading your question.)
If you are unable to send any email to any other email addresses and this is specific to your email address, then try the web mail client interface (if one is available) to verify your login user and password, and check with your email ISP for assistance. If your email password works via web mail, follow this Apple troubleshooting guide, then — if everything else fails — I'd probably then entirely remove the email account from Mail.app and re-add it per your email ISP's particular setup requirements. (Some issue with the setup or maybe a corrupt setting in OS X or a problem at the mail ISP servers is a common problem, but this effects attempts to send to all email addresses via that account.)
An email account setup is specific to an email provider, unfortunately. If you're using one of the more common email ISPs, then there are usually setup guides and frequently-asked questions posted online.

If you are running Windows and it stops on the first stage of a sync then my suggestion is to uninstall AppleDeviceSupport version 2.0.1 and re-install 1.5.2.
There are instruction here to do it on Windows 7 (see the first post):
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3280228?tstart=0
Those instructions are to fix a different problem, but it fixes the problem with syncing devices stopping on the first stage (backing up the device) too. The AppleDeviceSupport 2.0.1 comes with Quicktime 7.7 and, I believe, the latest Safari version.
I'm running XP, so used the Everything search program (http://www.voidtools.com/download.php) to find the directories with the AppleDeviceSupport installers (they have the extension .msi and the version in the directory name) and right-mouse-buttoned them to do the uninstall and install. Note you need a reboot afterwards. (Actually I just sorted out the service in the Service Manager, but that's a longer explaination and a reboot works fine).
Hope that helps,
John

Somene help me!i cannot backing up my i pad.it's show an error oxE8000065.

i cannot backing up my i pad.It's show an error oxE8000065.

Try a hard reset by holding Sleep/Wake + Home button for at least 15 seconds.

I cannot back up my i pad to my iTunes, but the error message is not always the same.

I cannot back up my i pad to my iTunes, but the error message is not always the same. I get everything from could not back up "because the iPad disconnected" to could not back up "because the iPad was not set up."
Here are things I tried that did not help:
1) I turned my iPad off then turned it back on.
2) I backed up my iPod touch to see what happened, and it went fine.
3) I tried a different cord to connect the computer to the iPad.
4) I updated my iPad
5) I updated my iTunes
Any other suggestions? Thanks!!

There are multiple places where these photos could be stored:
- a recent iCloud back up
- on your PC/Mac if you imported them
- Photostream if you used it
Unfortunately if the photos are not stored in any of these locations then they have been lost for good.
All the best

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos and some other items are added back after the restore has completed, you may need to wait a while.
