Backing up difficulties

last night i updated my iphone to ios5 , next morning backing up starts out of nowhere which hangs after a certain time
Also tried a reset , but after two or more syncs again the never ending  backing up starts .
please help???????

Can you burn anything to these discs using a different program?
Yes.
Have you tried not having iTunes running while you are erasing the DVD media? Letting that finish and then ejecting / re-inserting the media to make sure it settles properly in the OS — then launching iTunes and doing the backup?
I have tried this, and it has no effect.

  • Oh, oh! Not Again!!!! Rebuild Thumbnails Message...

    A few weeks back I began getting frequent Rebuild Thumbnail messages when I launched iPhoto. Eventually, despite the fact that I'd been faithfully rebuilding as instructed, the Last 12 Roll option began to malfunction via displaying rolls with incorrect date sequences. When this occurred I first tried the Rebuild Library option within iPhoto. This didn't rectify matters so I downloaded Library Manager and ran it. Still no luck so I reverted iPhoto back to an earlier Library6.iPhoto and things magically were fixed. Or at least they seemed to be at the time.
    Two days ago I began getting the Rebuild Thumbnails message again and I fear I am headed back into difficulties. I have no idea why this is happening and since the security of my photos is extremely important to me I wouldn't mind finding out so that I can keep it from happening again. Anyone have any idea of what might be causing the Rebuild Thumbnails message to display so often?
    Also, the other day when I backed up the current Library6.iPhoto I did so by highlighting the file, selecting Duplicate, and then renaming the duplicate created with that day's date... as in 090114Library6copy.iPhoto. I then dragged the file into a folder named iPhotoLibrary6 Backups. When I launched iPhoto the next day it couldn't find the library so I had to use the select library option. Any idea why this would happen?
    Last, but not least, after a few months of using iPhoto I would have to say that the application is a good deal more capable than is indicated by the "Mom & Pop Photo Manager" label that is often applied to it. In fact, as a fairly skilled professional photographer whose images are usually pretty decent quality I would have to say that iPhoto is all I need for processing my images about 97.3% of the time. The more seat time I have with the application and the more I get used to using the various tools offered the more amazed I become with the power of this application to create truly stunning images. My one reservation has to do with the issues I've been experiencing with database glitches.
    Thanks,
    Winston

    I love iPhoto for many reasons but it is sensitive to database issues
    Therefore backup a lot
    I make a daily clone to an external hard drive, just purchased a 1 TB Time Capsule which I have not received yet and use Old Toad's automator script often when I have loading and modifying photos - knock on wood I have not yet had a problem that even required me to use these
    I am hoping that Apple improved the database operation in iPhoto '09 - it clearly is too sensitive to disruption and needs improvement
    All of that being said you are very unlikely to ever lose any photos with iPhoto - the worst that I've ever seen iPhoto do is lost track of them and fixing that causes yo to lose your edits and keywords and projects - not good but better than losing photos
    If you get a good clean library, use Old Toads script religiously and back up often you will not lose anything short of a massive failure of your entire computer

  • OS X v SL  photo, music migration

    When installing OS X over SL, is there a need to backup iphoto photos, music, etc., for iphoto and itunes?  I have heard that these pieces will not migrate.  Thoughts?

    You should always have a backup of your hard drive before a major system upgrade.
    The risk of things going astray is very real.
    You can migrate your data from Snow Leopard to Lion, but going back is difficult.
    I would have a clone of my current drive before upgrading to Lion.

  • Have apple tried to make the syncing of 2 iphone on 1 imac as difficult as possible? My nokia is a doddle. I cant back up my wifes 3gs without entourage. I iponed up a seperte log in on my imace and it still says my wifes is prev synced with another itunr

    By the looks of it I'm having the same problem as lots of people. Apple seem to have made the system of syncing and backing  up 2 iphones as difficult as possible. I have just bought an iphone4 and synced it to my imac. I now have my wife's apps and content. Now when it try to back up my wife's phone using a seperate log in on my imac and a new itunes install I'm asked " do you want to sync and erase all of the details on my wifes phone or do I want to erase and sync and loose all her data. No option not to!!!!   I thought it was maybe the inset of dementure but lots of people are having the same problem. How hard can it be to back up one phone at a time and only that phone?  Backing up my Nokia was a doddle!   I thought Apple were well know for. making things easy?  I have also tried backing up my wife's to a seperate itunes but you cant export her contacts etc unless I have office and entourage which I don't. I cant back up her phone as it is with all it content and apps and start from scratch as I get only the sync and erase and destroy option.  AAAGGGHHH

    1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

    Next time you accidentally use 3 fingers it will zoom again. Unless you need the feature you're better to turn it off

  • My iPhone 5 charger stopped working. It's under warranty and I want to send it back. How do I initiate that process? The website keeps sending me in circles.  I'm getting an error message when I put in my serial number.  Why is this so difficult?

    If posible you will find visiting a store by far the simplest way of getting a solution
    Which Country
    are you in ?
    Have you checked the lightning socket on iPhone doesn't have lint or fluff in it
    solves majority of such issues

  • I accidentally deleted my iPhoto when i empty my trash? i think 1year ago.i want it back but i heard that its difficult...my 2nd option is i'll buy iPhoto from apps. what do you think guys? thank you and god bless!

    i accendentaly deleted my iphoto when i empty my trash. i think 1 year ago. i want it back but they say its difficult. now i think i'll buy iphoto to apps. what do you think guys??? ty and god bless!

    A bunch of totally different questions
    iPhoto is an application and it is in your applications folder - is it there? It must be in teh Applications folder on your boot drive - it can not be on an external drive
    The photos are kept in the iPhoto library (by default and highly recommended) - is that what you deleted? It can be anyplace by by default it is in your pictrues folder
    Time Machine is a backup program that backuse your your Mac - you do NOT directly access its backup files but you use the Time Machine application to restore files - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US for details
    Your post is not at all clear as to what you have or what you want to do
    If in fact you do have a copy of the photos on an external hard drive as you say you thikyou do them you launch iPhoto and import them to iPhoto (file menu import  --  or drag them to the iPhoto icon in the Dock)
    If you have a time machine backup of your iPhoto library and you want to use that then you launch TM and go to the time you wna tto restore from, select the iPhoto library and click restore
    If the above does not cover what you have and what you want please post back with exact details of what you have and what you want to do

  • I have taken over 9999 pictures with my phone and it is now creating duplicate names for the pictures starting back at 0001 making it difficult to manually upload my photos like i always have. How do i fix this?

    I have taken over 9999 pictures with my phone and it is now creating duplicate names for the pictures starting back at 0001 making it difficult to manually upload my photos like i always have. How do i fix this?
    (I tried to just write this as a reply to someone who had already asked the question whos problem was magically solved after posting the question and the site was not allowing me to post to it so here I am)

    Additionally, when I try to sort the photos by date to easily extract the newest photos which I have not yet uploaded, it is unable to put them in correct order regardless of the fact that the date is correct. Only the videos end up in chronological order for some reason while the photos stay in order by name.

  • My trackpad is freaking out.  It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it.  It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words

    My trackpad is freaking out.  It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it.  It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words.  To my knowlege nothing's happened to the machine.  I've checked for updates and there hasn't been any trama or anything.  Is this a known problem with trackpads? What can I do? If I bring it down to the store will they need to replace the machine?
    Advice?

    I usually use my laptop while lying in bed, so it's tilted at odd angles.  I've just noticed that this problem happens when I'm in that position but when I put the laptop on a table or even just sit up and use it's fine.  ***.

  • IOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text.  How can I change it in mail and messages?

    HI,
    iOS 7 back ground makes it difficult to read the text.  I know I can't change it in mail and messages, but Apple really needs to allow some customization.  This is really difficult to read for older eyes.

    yeah I agree with all you guys statements, the color scheme on IOS 7 *****,
    I am having to constantly turn on off on off on off  "invert color" mode just to switch between
    the home screen, typing, and reading text messages, its an absolute pain!!
    I never had any of this trouble in IOS 6.
    What they SHOULD do, is make 2 different color schemes
    one LIGHT color scheme,
    and one DARK color scheme, for those using "invert colors" frequently.
    See, what Apple doesn't seem to understand is, when you turn on "invert colors",
    the lock screen turns bright WHITE, so you have to turn invert colors OFF just to read the lock screen,
    then back ON when you want to type an email, read a text message, etc etc, then turn it off again when
    you want to play a game.
    and see, after awhile, when you switch invert colors on off on off after so  many times, it drains on the devices resources, & you have to reboot the device to get accessibility options working again.   I have to reboot the device several times a day now just because of that, when its just a simple fix of adding a darker color scheme as a 2nd or alternative option. 
    I mean, even as a normal sighted person, turning on invert colors is annoying when your at the lock screen or playing a game, think about those of us who depend upon it just to read text on the screen..  VoiceOver has the smilar issues when you have to turn it off on off on all the time it drains the system resources of the phone also,
    so I agree completely...
    but ya know, they don't listen to us...  cuz its an option they don't use, so they don't understand... If they used that option for even 5 seconds, they'd understand what we're talking about....  What Apple should do is hire one of us as a beta tester to help them test out these types of issues,  from one of us like myself who knows a thinkg or two about accessibility options of the phone.
    I've been an Apple idevice fan for years, but, IOS 7 was a major disappointment in the accessibility arena..
    kind regards,
    Tom

  • MY IPOD APPEARS TO BE ZOOMED INTO THE SCREEN AT ALL TIMES, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DO SIMPLE TASKS SUCH AS GO BACK, OR SELECT A PLAYLIST, ETC. I'VE TRIED PULLING IT OUT WITH MY FINGERS BUT THAT DOESN'T WORK. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP!!! THANKS.

    I've got a touch iPod and for about a week now it's almost been permenently zoomed into the screen? I actually cannot get it to zoom back out. I've tried pulling the screen out with my fingers but that doesn't work. It's zoomed in on my home pages, on my music, settings everything! It makes simple things like deleting a number from my password login extreamly differcult. Please can someone help?!?! Thanks.

    Double tap the screen with three fingers to un-zoom.
    Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and turn this OFF.
