Backup Assistant and Verizon Cloud not working correctly

I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII.  Been using BU Assistant Plus a long time.  Recently found out about "Cloud"...downloaded it, installed it, can't load it.  Have repeatedly downloaded, installed, tried to load, uninstalled, reinstall....  I've about had it.   Neither Back Up Assistance Plus, or Cloud are working properly.  Cloud - not at all.  I click the icon, the red screen appears with a gray radio button that says, "Get Started".  I press it, then after 5 seconds the screen goes black, a dialog box appears saying that the app has been stopped, do I want to send an error report, which I do send...  Anyone have a clue?    Same happens on my son's Stratosphere 2 and husband's Lucid... Please advise!  Thx

I am having exactly the same problem~ SO, so frustrating, as I do all my updating on my phone, not the cloud or my desktop computer!!   And, likewise I called about hte issue and got the same advice as Spikey and did the same thing with the same shocking results (deleting all contacts on my phone).  They told me to go into Settings, "backup assistant Plus" and make sure the "sync contacts" button is turned off first, then go log into my account online, delete all the contacts there, then come back to phone and choose the "backup now" button at the bottom of the "backup assistant plus" screen under settings.  I did all this, and while there LITERALLY saw the box for "sync contacts" check itself back on and start sycing with the cloud, where I had just deleted all my contacts with the intent of uploading all the current, newly update info from my phone onto the cloud~ Instead all this automatic stuff started happening and the cloud started syncing my contacts to my phone, which is to say, it deleted all my contacts because the account online had just been cleared out~ I was so bummed, can't even tell you how long it took to update everything to current manually over a couple weeks on my phone and it was all gone~ Turns out I went into the trash online and was able to undelete all my deleted contacts from the online verizon account, (mind you, these were the out-of-date ones I was trying to replace with my current phone ones), and then the cloud automatically synced all these old contacts onto my phone again.  So not only did I not get to send the new ones to the cloud, but the cloud sent back all the old ones replacing the work I had done. 
I'm not at all convinced that they understand at verizon how to get around this.  I would be really glad if anyone else has and could pipe in here.  It's a real problem.

  • Phonebook, Backup Assistant and Verizon Cloud always out of sync

    I have a very strange problem regarding syncing. Basically, the contacts in my phonebook on my Droid Razr HD, are never in sync with Backup Assistant Plus and the Cloud. My understanding was that if I edit, add or delete a phonebook entry, it would be backed up and kept in sync with Verizon Cloud, which I subscribe to. But that never happens. Entries are in the Cloud, but never in sync with my phonebook. And when I click on a contact in the Cloud, it is always empty. It is though all 3 entities are stand alone products which remain out of communication and out of sync with each other.
    Backups take place at schedule intervals, and rarely fail. Yet nothing seems to happen. Reading other posts about the issues people have with syncing, it is clear to me that sync is the problem child of Verizon, and few if any CSRs seem to understand it. If you talk to 5 CSRs, you will get 5 different explanations of how it is supposed to work, and the customer is caught in the middle. I've tried all the usual steps, including Sync All, Sync Now,
    In People-->Settings-->Contact Storage-->Contact Storage Accont, the only options available are Backup Assistant Plus (which I've selected) and Google (unselected). Cloud is not even an option and seems to work in a standalone mode. I don't even know why BAP is offered, when Cloud is being used. I thought Cloud was the replacement for BAP? The whole thing is a bit of a mess, honestly, and needs to be re-engineered from top to bottom. In the meantime, would anyone know how I can get these products to work as they should?

    Ann154 is correct, use gMail.  
    The Verizon cloud is not acceptable or functional.    I went through the set up with Verizon and was not able to get backup assist and cloud to do it's job.
    I just switched carrier, and from Android, to iPhone, back to android.   The only way to get it all together was to use gmail (which I did not have, but opened free, just for this purpose.)

  • Copy and paste buffers not working correctly in iOS 8.1m

    Both iPads2's in my family arsenal are exhibiting what I believe to be a bug in the iOS8.1 (perhaps corrected by 8.1.1?), in the cut/copy & paste buffer stack.
    When invoking the operation to copy and paste data from one application to another, the paste action consistently selects the previous (e.g., stack level 2 rather than 1 or Top) data as what is to be pasted.
    In other words, if you have used the copy and paste routine twice, the second pasting will supply one with the paste data from the first operation, rather than the desired data from the second copy and paste operation.
    Copy and paste appears to work correctly from within a single application, but consistently fails when copying data from one application to another.
    Does anyone know of a work-around for this bug? Is it a bug that others have identified? Is there a new selection filter menu option for copy and paste operations, and what method is used to invoke the menu?
    I hope this is addressed soon, as I use Cut/Copy & Paste operations extensively (I've already had Carpal Tunnel Release surgery once and don't relish a repeat performance, no matter how successful the first was in correcting the damage).
    Any clues as to what's going on here?
    thanks in advance,

    All you can do is simply see if iOS 8.1.1 helps you with this. With some people it has, and others it has not. I would also recommend doing a clean install of your system, too.
    Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
    First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
    Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
    On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
    This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

  • Actions and Advanced Actions not working correctly. - Captivate 8

    In our project, we have it set so that after every section the student is asked three quiz questions (they are set on the default quiz slides.) On success, the person jumps to the next question slide. On failure, the person goes to next slide which has two buttons - one that allows them to simply move forward to the next quiz question and one that allows them to go back and review. The "Go back and Review" button takes the person back to the specific content slide that contains the answer to the question they are being asked. This button is set to advanced actions "Jump to Slide ..." and "Show Button..." - The button is a 'Return to Quiz' button to allows the person to find the answer then try the question again.  I know that the buttons on the default quiz slides cannot be programmed to do a specific action, but every time we click 'Submit' it seems fine until we click 'Next' to move ahead, it then routes us back to one of the content slides (Slide 7) instead of the next slide (if wrong), or the next question slide (if right). I have looked at the Advanced Interactions Window and there is nothing linking this slide to anything. I have not had this problem with any of our other modules or sections. I have tried creating new question slides and it did not work. I deleted Slide 7 and it worked fine the first time through the preview, but then when I viewed the preview again, it started jumping back and would not even let me get to the questions. Can anyone help?

    Normally the Next button on a question slide is not needed, because it has the functionality of Skipping the question. It is however needed if you want to allow Review.
    Another explanation is that you did change the normal work flow for a question slide, where a two-step process for submitting will take automatically the user to the next slide.
    Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
    What did you do to need the Next button? If the user submits:
    Feedback appears with the indication to press Y or to click on the slide, happens at the pausing point of the Question slide (default is 1.5secs)
    When user presses Y or clicks, the actions Success/Last Attempt are executed if all attempts are exhausted, and you have only 1 attempt on Question level: the actions are by default Continue, but you can change it to 'Go to Next Slide' to shorten the waiting time (or drag the pausing point closer to the end of the slide).
    What did you change?

  • Verizon Cloud not working

    My verizon cloud hasn't worked for months. It used to work fine but stopped connecting. When I try to use on my iphone it just spins and never opens. My wife and I both have iphone 5's and it used to work fine. I thought about doing a reinstall but it stated that I would lose my backed up data.
    one of the reasons we got Verizon was the backup and now it is not working at all!!! When is this going to be resolved !!!!

        Thanks for the additional information Jimmy.avit! Having a backup copy of your data and precious moments is top priority! Please backup to iCloud www.apple.com/support/icloud to ensure that you have a safe backup of everything, then delete the Verizon Cloud, power off/on, and install the Verizon Cloud again. Test and keep us posted.

  • My phone is so slow won't download any apps and data is not working correctly

    I have the moto e with straight talk

    Hi
    This is not a Firefox thing, but there are some general housekeeping activities you can do to make your telephone run much easier.
    First of all, uninstall any apps and widgets you do not need. It is amazing how they can clutter up your phone! In the app drawer, long press on an app or widget and drag it to the uninstall option at the top of the screen.
    So you have a sizeable SD card in your phone? If so, in Settings app , scroll down to Storage and tap "Move media". As it says on the menu, this will move your media files to your memory card, thus freeing up space on your phone.
    Before you leave Storage, scroll up a little and tap on "Cached Data" and selected to clear the cached data.
    In Settings>Apps, scroll across to "On SD Card" and tick a few boxes to move some of your apps to your memory card. (Note: With some apps, this may mean that any accompanying widgets will not work, this is a bug with Android).
    Once finished, turn off your phone and turn it back on again and you should find your phone has quite a bit more space and is running a bit quicker.

  • Contacts and Personal Ringtones not working correctly.

    I have an iPhone 3G with the latest OS. Since I have upgraded to the latest OS, I have had problems with my contacts when I receive incoming calls. On some of my contacts, I will not see the assigned photo or hear the assigned personal tone, it instead shows the wallpaper and plays the default ringtone. But on other contacts I will see the correct photo and hear the assigned tone. The same contacts are affected by this so it is not randomly changing which contacts are affected. I have checked my sync options and I can see the info in my google contacts and I have completed a hard reset. Nothing I have been able to find in the forums has helped so far. Any ideas?

    When your iPhone is plugged into iTunes, go to the Ringtones tab and make sure the radio button is checked that will synch all ringtones. Synch your phone and they should be back.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi Poomani,
    According to your description, “File 2” still exists in Folder1 after it is been cut and paste to Folder2.
    Can you provide more details about how you perform the operations?
    I tried to move the file between folders in a library in the two ways below, both work without issue:
    1. “Open with Explorer”: cut and paste the file in the Windows Explorer interface;

  • Home Hub and RJ45? not working correctly

    Recently i had a few problems with the Wireless on the Home Hub 3, so i switched and used an RJ45 and boy my speeds shot from 30-40mbs to 77mbs i was all happy, then the upload part of the speed test came along and it spent forever trying to do an upload test then came back error.  I refreshed the page and no internet or webpage would load, so i trouble shoot the network and it works again so i try again and the same thing happens any time i try to upload my connection drops from the hub and i have to troubleshoot to fix the problem, i heard somewere that the homehub is funny with an RJ45 =/ i am not wanting to go back to wireless scince the i get faster on a RJ45 is their a way to fix this Issue ?

    Hi
    All 5 PCs, the vision box & printer here are hard wired using Cat5 cable & RJ45 connectors and in 6 years we have never had a problem.
    I make my own cables and they are a bit fiddley, so despite looking fine the pins don't always connect properly and you get all sorts of issues especially if the cable moves.
    My recommendation would be that you firstly change the cable, preferably to one that you know works properly.

  • Betreff: Helix, windows 8.1. Sleep and power off not working correctly.

    I'm still havin issues booting my computer when docked or using standby when docked. I've set my computer to allways hibernate to disk as this lessens the problems for me when the computer hangs during bootup. The information is still there on the disk when you try to bootup several times.
    The backdraw is that boot is really slow and it I can tell you that it's really not making a good impression when you bring the computer to a presentation and people ask about it.

    Hi WooHooMe 
    i tried fixing it but had no luck, although it was fixed for a brief time. I think the problem is with the wireless driver. I think if you uninstall the intel pro set wireless software and then disable the network adapter(from device manager) reboot and re-enable the issue should be fixed. My problem was that afterwards i tried sharing media from my desktop and the problem resurfaced.. So it was a short win. 
    other things i tried is disabling the homegroup services(from control panel-->administrative tools-->services), opening cmd with administrator rights and typing "powercfg -requests" to see if there was anything blocking sleeping. 
    Anyway if you want to fix the shutdown issue, just disable fast startup from power options! It will shut down correctly but sleep will still have a problem.
    The other problem i have is i can't refresh windows. My usb recovery drive won't be recognised, and a win8 cd i had wouldn't help also(something about the windows drive being locked).
