Back up afte installing 3.0 software
Hi Please can someone help, I am trying to update my iphone with the new 3.0 software, and it started the back yesterday at 10.00 and 24 hours later it isn't even half way, I have delete most of my photo's leaving about 5 and all of my added on apps apart from facebook and 1 game, should I just leave it all cancell the back up and delete facebook and start again?
If you have more than one backup in itunes, I would stop the backup process and delete the photos and non default apps. Maybe you backed up your computer including the iphone backup folder, which is located here:
On a Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
On Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
On Windows Vista: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
If you have, you could copy the data back to your computer in case you have to restore "as new iphone"
Here are more tips how to reduce backup times: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3603

After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?
Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

Backing up DVD install software to my HD?
i just had to install iWork '09 due to some issue i am having in yosemite with pages and i am realizing i have fewer and fewer install DVD's while most of my install software is on my hard drive or on App Store.
is there a way to back up these install DVD's to my Hard Drive so i don't have to worry about the disk getting corrupted or otherwise have all this material in various places?
thanks in advancewoah! thanks.
so i will read up on this but can i basically do this for any DVD that i have including OS X install DVD's or Windows install DVD's (or i guess this one would be dumb and i should do the equivalent in windows if i want)?
do you like the idea of backing these up as dmg?
will they re-install if i have to like all the other dmg backups i have??

Since I installed a printer software Satellite L300 has stopped working
Hello there!
I'm new here so not really sure if I'm posting in the right place. Mods, please feel free to move to the relevant section, thank you.
OK I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 Laptop and ever since I installed a printer software on Wednesday night, my laptop has suddenly stopped working!
Ever since Thursday night, I have been trying to get it working but I'm faced with this message:
when i load it up it goes to Windows error recovery:
'windows has failed to start.a recent hardware or software change might be the cause
if windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly,startup repair can help diagnose and fix the problem.if power was interrupted during startup,choose start windows normally'
then it gives two options: Launch startup repair (recomended)
start windows normally
==========
-so i click launch startup repair (reccomended)
-then a scren loads up called 'system recovery options'.. it says: select an operating system to repair and click next.only windows vista operating systems are listed and can be repaired
if you do not see your operating system listed, click load drivers to load drivers for your hard disks'.....
but nothing comes up so i click load drivers and it just gives me loads of random folders...and i haven't a clue which ones to load
========
5 years ago Report Abuse
Additional Details
so i just click 'next'
========
then i have 5 options:
-startup repair
-system restore
-windows complete pc restore
-windows memory diagnostic tool
-command prompt
==========
startup repair says it cannot manually fix any problems
-system restore just says your computer is in a limited state and performing this action cannot be changed...but there is no option to do so
-windows comple pc restore says i need to insert a backup disk which I dont have
windows memory diagnostics tool says that windows is preventing this
============
but on the system resotre it tells me to type something like: rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:\Windows
but i don't know where...i typed it in the command prompt but don't understand how to use it
=========
i also tried to click start windows normally but it won't workIf the problem is installed software, start notebook in safe mode and try to start system restore from there.
Please let me know which options are available. Can you roll back OS few days back?
Are some restore points listed there? -
due to the virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if i do it then the data present on my ipod touch will be erased as it is syncd to some older library... how should i protect my ipod touch data?
With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. -
I have an mid 07 iMac, running on Mountain lion OS. It has been not working smoothly, constant freezing. I'm guessing its dying, however when I run a hardware test on DU is passes with no errors. I would like to wipe it clean and re-install my most recent OS, and my backed up harddrive. I have everything backed up on an external hd. I tried to do the recovery with Command R and it wouldn't do it. I think its something with my internet connection?? I tried to reinstall with the last OS install disk I have which is Snow Leopard. It wouldn't let me do that either. Do I have to go back to original install disk that came with it and start from scratch? I want to make sure I cover all bases before I invest another grand into one of these lovely machines:) any advice would be appreciated.
Good morning.
Just to repeat. Back up before doing anything; preferably to an external (portable) HD.
Luckily you seem to have the original dvd. Boot from that; you should then be able to select erase and install. That will erase everything on your HD and load the OS. It should bring you to 10.6.3. Once that is done you can then software update to 10.6.8. The Combo update is an option you can use instead of going through each process one at a time. For that you should download and apply ...

Windows 200 PC with SP4 won't boot after install of iPod software from CD.
I installed the iPod software from the CD of my new iPod mini. It requested that I reboot the PC, which I did but it never rebooted. It hung and would not even boot in safe mode. After many attempts I booted to the boot console and when throught the install repair process. The PC will still not boot.
Is there any way to bring up the PC without having to rebuild it?
Has anyone found a way to get the PC back to it's original state, without a disk re-format?
Does Apple have a solution?
Any comments from Apple Support or their QA team would be of interestLast know good does not work. I don't receive any error messages. I did the repair but PC still will not boot. The starting windows bar goes about three quarter of the way to the right and then it just stops. It does this regardless fo which boot mode I choose (ie. safe mode).
I do not have the iPod plugged in during this process.
Is there anything else I can do or that we can try from the console command mode? -
Problems Installing Adobe CS2 software
Hi,
I purchased my iMac aswell as Adobe CS2 software back in September. I started installing the CS2 software (4 discs) and by the last disc, installation froze and the drive sounded like it was in a continuous search on the disc. So I had to reboot and eject the disc. This continued for 2 more tries. I contacted Adobe and they said it was a disc problem, so I exchanged my CS2 for another CS2 disc set. I completely erased the previous CS2 applications, reinstalled OSX and tried again. This time it was the 2nd of 4 discs that just got skipped over - nothing even installed from that disc - the computer just spat it out and said: "disc 2 complete, please insert disc 3..."
Anyone think I have drive or hardware issues???Hi Bushfire.
I had a very similar problem when I installed CS 1 under OS X 10.3 on an iBook. In that case it turned out that the version of Stuffit Expander supplied with the OS was too old. (The stuffit engine is, I believe used to unpack some or all of the goodies from the installer). After upgrading Stuffit Expander to - I think to version 7 at the time - the install went perfectly.
OS X 10.4 doesn't have any version of stuffit expander included with it at all. Have a look on versiontracker.com to download if you haven't allready got it. Could be worth a try.
I have subsequently installed CS 2 on my iMac G5, and everything went OK -so it CAN work.
Good luck - and let me know if it works.

I just installed the latest software update on my iPhone this weekend (9/22/12), and now I can't get email. I've restarted and closed all my apps to no avail. I'm able to get email on my laptop, so it's not a problem with my provider. Any ideas?
Originally we were getting the error that the phone could not connect. Then, after deleting the account multiple times and re-adding it again, the error message CHANGED to having to log in to Yahoo and authorize.
When we went to Yahoo in a regular browser and logged in there was an alert telling us about connection attempts so it disabled mobile/iphone connectivity. It required that we change our password FIRST.
Then, we went in to Manage Apps and Webpages and saw that iPhone was not there but Facebook was.
After all of this went back to the phone and deleted then re-added the account again and SUCCESS!
It now also shows up on the Yahoo Manage Apps and Webpages.
Hope this helps someone else. Please consider giving me points if it does or like the post.

I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh). First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there. Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud". 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.
Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook? Russ-AZInteresting response, Kappy - Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook). Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud". W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.
Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook? Russ-AZ"
You can safely assume that I have tried using it! So, to make things a little clearer:
1) I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference? Why the different toatl count?
2) Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. What's in those files? And where are they?
Probably more important questions get down to:
3) Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"? This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle. Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
4) And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
Thanks again for your interest and comments. - Russ-AZ -
How to install DVD based software on Mini
How do I install DVD based software on a Mac Mini? Does it have a "CD/DVD" Drive? There appears to be a slot on the back. Is that a "SuperDrive" or whatever the **** they call it now?
If you have another PC/Mac on your network you can activate disc sharing to allow the Mac Mini to hijack the disc drive of that machine or acquire the Apple external drive or similar third party unit.
The current models have NO built in disc drive, the space is now reserved for the optional second SSD on select added value models, and can also be used to install your own second drive with little jiggery pokery.
With the likes of the Apple App Store, Amazon Store Microsoft Market (Office 2011) and Steam for games and other online vendors the need for physical discs is rapidly diminishing provided you have access to decent broadband bandwidth.
If you are a serious gamer then the mac mini is probably the wrong machine for you anyway (PC or console surely).
If you are using professional Adobe/Maya type software then the $70.00 external isn't going to break the bank is it ? -
I have a MacBook Pro 2011. I allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think). After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle. No progression bar ever appeared. It just sits and spins. I tried rebooting with Command + Option + R + P and hearing the chime twice....this did not work.
I also tried Command +Option+R which took me to internet recovery. From there, I chose reinstall Mac OS X Lion 10.7 but it says my hard drive is locked so I wasnt able to select it. What do I do???? Help! I don't want to lose my files and it doesnt appear that I've used Time Machine Back Up.macbookpro2011ISU wrote:

I you upgraded to OS X 10.8, then use RecoveryHD by holding Command R at boot time (no option) and reinstall OS X over itself that way so your installing Mountain Lion.
Also Disk Uility can be used to Repair the Macintosh HD parttion.
Also you can use that RecoveryHD to format and install OS X onto a external drive, then option/alt key boot from it and access your files on the non-booting internal drive before erasing, reformatting and reinstalling OS X fresh.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive

After installed Leopard, can't install any other software....help
I just installed Leopard 10.5 into my Powerbook G4 17" 1.5Gz, but after that I can't install any other software, I try CS3 upgrade, new Poser7 and apple 10.5.1 upgrade, after I click install....nothing happen..... just the spining color wheel, try few time and wait for an hour... still the same, need help!
In your utilities folder, in applications there's a program called disk utilities app. Go in there and click on your hard drive and click on disk permissions, first aid should also be highlighted. Post back if you require additional information. Good luck, and don't worry this is fixable.
