Backup never finishes query

I have a small business server 2011. On the console the backup keeps querying and never finishes while the other tabs [Security, Updates and Other Alerts] are Ok.
If I try to backup, using the console it stacks at "Loading data. Please wait ..." and server backup, I get "Reading data;please wait..." message when tries to load the disk etc. In the event log all
I see is event 753 & 754 in application source backup.
What is causing this? How do I resolve this because I can't do backup?

Hi,
Regarding the current issue, have you tried to repair Windows Server Backup to see if it could resolve the issue?

In addition, maybe the SharePoint update stops the backup from working, please also refer to the article below for troubleshotting.

Backup never finishes

I am trying to use Backup for a custom backup to my iDisk (yes, I'm logged in to .Mac). I simply used the checkboxes to select all relevant document types (iTunes, Word docs, etc.) This is the first backup.
Backup never finishes. The upload progress bar reaches the end, then the process starts all over again. I've left it on overnight, and it just keeps cycling through the whole process again and again.

Hi Marakel, and welcome to the forums,
Do you have enough space on your iDisk for all your stuff? An iTunes library alone might exceed the limit.
Why don't delete that back up plan, and start with something much smaller, like the "personal data" option, and see if that works, then work create another plan for something bigger to work your way up. My guess is that Backup is hanging because of all the data you are asking it to backup, but I'm surprised it doesn't tell you you're exceeding your limit (if that is the problem) before it starts uploading.

SL Server and Time Machine - Backups never finish - help.

I am running Snow Leopard Server (10.6.4) on a Mini. I want to use Time Machine to back it up to an external hard drive. This setup worked forever, until I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Now, the backups start, but never finish. There is no consistency to this - sometimes it gets far into the backup, and other times if stops early. In other words, there is not one file that is causing this problem. The only consistent thing is, is never finishes.
I’ve tried to use an old sparsebundle, and I’ve erased the HD completely to start over. I’ve excluded files, folders, and groups of folders, and it never completes.
The alert I get usually says, “The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.”
Needless to say, I’ve followed these instructions - waited (six months now), used a Time Capsule instead, used another HD instead, repaired the HD, everything. It just doesn’t work.
Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. I can't use Time Machine at all on Snow Leopard Server on an Xserve. There are 2 1TB drives configured as a mirrored RAID set, and a 3rd internal 1TB drive set up to run as a Time Machine backup drive. I have not had any luck after almost a year of trying to get this to work, and I am finding no help on the Internet. I've seen the question asked, but it is never answered. Does ANYBODY out there have an clues as to why this keeps happening? Is it about permissions, since these files are being served from the sharepoint? If I exclude everything but one or two files, the process works, so it's not a hardware error, as far as I can tell. Can't I get TM to bypass any problem files and log them to a report? There are thousands of files. I can't exclude them one by one. I'm already very old.

Initial Time Machine backup never finishes

I started the first backup and left my macbook on over night to let it continue. I had tried to sync it via an ethernet cable but for some reason it won't backup any way other than via wireless. It recognises that there is a connection via cable but still won't sync that way so I let it use the wireless link. However, someone managed to turn off the power to the time capsule later on and I had to continue the backup the next day. It said it had about 22.9gb left to go but seems to stick at 13.1 of 22.9gb. That message is in the main window but the small box at the bottom says 3.7mb of 3.7mb and never seems to close or finish.
Is there a way to get it to disgard all backups it may have done (i.e. reformat it) and make it start again so I can try for an uninterrupted backup?

Same here. I have a 120 Gb HFS+ HD hooked to my AEBS, The drive mounts, the disk image mounts, Time Machine recognize the drive and starts its first backup but hangs always about 5.23 - 6 Gb done with an error message.

Time machine never finishes a backup on macbook air

Hello
After setting up my Goflex NAS couple of days ago ,my macbookair and macbook pro both showed goflex external for time machine option and asked me if i want to do my time machine backup on that external drive which i answered yes and they both started to do the time machine backup on that drive.As for the macbook pro 15 which is on osx lion ,everything went fine and the backups did as smooth as possible on the schuduale.for macbook air was totally different .it is running on osx lion also .but it will not ever finish up any backups .the only time that it did finish the backup was the first time ,but even for that one ,when i open the time machine window from system pref. it shows the oldest backup none and the latest backup none. i just left it on automatic backup .it will automatically start the backup but never finishes the backup process and i have to shut down the computer in order to stop the bad process.does anybody has a solution for this.
thanks in advance.

In addition to jochen2d you can try this, albeit, requiring much more effort.
Live partition your external HD and make a 2nd partition of about 10-12 GB, call it installer. Then eject the hard drive.
Plug in your DVD drive, put in the installation disc. Fire up Disk Utility and make a new image with the DVD as your source material. Once this is done you'll have a disk image on your Desktop (or wherever you decided to save it). You'll then to scan the image for restore.
Once this is done, eject the disc and then unplug the external drive.
Plug the USB drive back in, and open up Disk Utility again (if you closed it).
Select the install partition you created and then click on the restore tab. Your source is the .dmg of the installation disc you created and your target is the install partition you created.
When this is done you can now run the installer partition and have an exact replica of the DVD installation media with your backup accessible.
Or as jochen2d recommended, you could go out and buy a $29 powered USB hub.

Backup exchange 2010 done, unloading medium... but never finish

Hi all,
I'm using Data Protector 07.00 to backup exchange 2010 (with DAG), everything was fine but then exchange full backup has done DP unloading medium then never finish, other jobs will be backed up normal except the exchange will be failed on next start. I can't also abort/cancel the device after the DP unloading medium.
please help me to solve.
thanks,

Hi,
Apologies for digging up this relatively old post but I am getting the same error message as the OP, however the solution is irrelevant / doesn't work and I can't fathom it out.
We have six Help Desk operatives - members of "Help Desk" and "View Only" RBAC. All Help Desk operatives connect to a terminal server (2008 R2) where EMC and EMS is
installed. The EMC works fine for all HD operatives, apart from one. When this operator clicks on anything under "Recipient Configuration" he gets the error described herein. It was fuly working until around early January 2014.
We don't see any event log errors on the Terminal Server or on Exchange 2010 pertaining to this fault.
Although he connectes to a terminal server, it is a one-off used for Exchange management only. It only uses local profiles. I have completely wiped his profile and seen the system build a new
profile for him. As a test,
I added him to "Organisation Management" RBAC group and the issue went away - he was able to enumerate all users, when removed from "Organisation Management" and the problem returns.
When clicking on Recipient Configuration --> Mailbox, I see the PS cmdlet run is:
Get-Recipient -PropertySet ConsoleLargeSet -ResultSize '1000' -SortBy DisplayName -RecipientType 'UserMailbox'
He can connect to EMS and run this cmdlet without issue.
I am at a loss as to where to go from here. Every Google results in checking the paths mentioned in KB2027063 (which are correct) or installing / reinstalling WinRM Extensions for IIS, which
are fine, otherwise the issue would affect all users.
Any help would be gratefully received
Many thanks

TS4036 I have restored a backup into a new iPad but it did not downloaded all my photos. There is a message saying " downloading 515 of 1230" but it never finishes downloading. How can I get all my photod downloadeda.

I have restored a backup into a new iPad but it did not downloaded all my photos. There is a message saying " downloading 515 of 1230" but it never finishes downloading. How can I get all my photod downloadeda.

Sorry this solution is late but I just got off of the phone with Apple support and this worked.
Open iTunes
Connect your iPhone and keep it connected during this entire process.
In the iTunes menu at the very top (File, Edit, View) choose STORE> Sign in and sign into your iTunes account.
Once this is complete look at the upper right corner of iTunes and you will see an iPhone and Store button, cick STORE. Now you will be in the iTunes store where you see the advertisements of the various albums, songs etc. Look on your upper left of the window for your itunes account name and in the black band next to your iTunes account name, you will see a House icon, then Music, Movies, TV Shows etc.
Make sure the HOUSE icon is selected.
Stay on this screen in iTunes and on the lower RIGHT, you will see an area that says- QUICK LINKS. In that area click - Purchased
After you do this you will be transported to another area of iTunes. Here there will be a menu across the top- Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Books are the choices.
Choose APPS and you will see the apps that you have purchased. You will also see the apps that didn't download to your phone.
Find the apps that didn't download and click the cloud next to their name. Doing this will download the chosen apps to the computer you are on.
Once you have downloaded the apps in question, in the upper right corner click LIBRARY.
Now you should see the button that says iPhone because your phone is still plugged in. Click the iPhone button and then click SYNC on the lower right to sync your iPhone.
The apps you downloaded will now be on your phone.
Sorry for the long instructions but this is what works.

Cannot restore previous profile in ipad after updating to iOS 8, it never finishes

iPad 64M, wireless, IOS 8
I updated my ipad to IOS 8, which erased everything from it. At reboot, when asked to set it up as a new ipad or restore a previous profile, I selected previous profile and let it go.
I have not been able to restore my ipad. It does the restore but i never finishes copying the apps. Very few things work.
Is anyone getting the same problem?

Hi Tripix,
I understand it starts the restore from your previous backup but never finishes.
Here is an article for help with restoring from your backup.
iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
Depending on how much you are restoring, it can take quite a while.

Having trouble with imports never finishing

I am having trouble with imports that never finished. It is almost like the pictures are stuck on one image. the only way to get out of Iphoto is to force quit. The next time I open, there are a number of images that still need to be imported, but the import never finishes and seems to stop at the same image. When I go to close down I get the message that Photos are being imported to the library.
Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks

Photo:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check out your iPhoto library and make sure all photos are viewable and there. Force quitting when iPhoto is working can corrupt the database file, Library6.iPhoto. Make a backup copy of it and save in another folder.
First make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder. Now download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Open iPhoto and see if it will work OK.
If not, launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
Lastly use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
Do you Twango?

Fetching but never finishing while trying to rebuild

have tried to tried to rebuild my mailbox (mailbox was getting populated with multiple duplicate emails), but now, as I run "activity" it's fetching my mail--some 14000 messages, but it's getting hung up around half way through.
and then just starting over.
consequently, there are now NO emails in my inbox. help! how do I make sure the emails I'm trying to recover aren;t lost?
and why the incessant loop of fetching, never finishing, and then repeating the cycle?
mail-less in Dallas

Audrey:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can useiPhoto Library Manager to easily open both of the two libraries on your HD to see if there is duplication or if there are some photos that are not in your primary (located in the Pictures folder) library. If there are some you need to get into the primary library the paid version of iPLM will let you copy rolls or albums between the two libraries and maintain the keywords and comments as shown here.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Sync never finishes

OK, so I am syncing my new iPhone 6, and doing a hard, connected sync. But the sync never finishes. When I left it last night it was on "Syncing Artwork" and I left the sync running overnight, and it was still not done this morning.
Based on the fact that I can't get the system to stop asking me for old passwords, the problem where it keeps saying on my home screen that it says it is "Restoring from iCould Backup" for the whole week and a half that I have owned this new phone, and now this, I am seriously thinking of switching platforms.
HELP!

Never mind, figured it out. My "ipod photo cache" from my former library was included in my pictures file when I transferred my files to my new computer. I think this was confusing itunes. I deleted the old photo cache and synced again - this appears to have fixed the problem.

Import picture never finish

Hi,
When Import a picture from a file, it imports the picture but never finish it.
I Force Quit iPhoto, and the picture was imported.

Chiky:
Where is the file located when you're importing?
Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Also run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.
Do you Twango?

Should it take sooo long to install Flash on a new Mac book pro? And should the CC panel say "syncing files" and look like it will never finish?

I Have CC and it's taking so long to install on my new Mac book pro. The CC panel also says its syncing files down at the bottom, it's so slow it looks like it will never finish. Should it be taking this long?

I had an issue where I had to wipe my mac as well. What you have to do to format the hard drive and reinstall is this:
Restart the computer while holding down the option key. Choose the recovery disc. Find the main hard disc and hit format. Then you can reinstall Lion via the internet, it takes a while though, my computer took 5 hours or so.
For your first question, if you got the family version of office, I believe you have 3 computers you can authorize it on. If you are not sure, look it up in the apple store.
For the second: Time machine would probably be your best option, but I would reccomend restoring from a backup before you were having problems, and restore that one (put new files you need on another external or a digital-online storeage site such as dropbox.) To restore a backup, restart your computer and hold command+R and select "Restore from Time Machine Backup" (for more information go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 )
I don't believe tere is anything else you need to do, but I am new to macs, so I may not be the best source, but this is what I have found/have had to do.

TS3992 4S iCloud backing up indefinitely and never finishes

I think my iPhone 4S is not communicating correctly with iCloud. I keep getting messages telling me it hasn't been backed up since (months ago...), and if I go through a manual backup, it just starts and never finishes. It says, "backing up...estimating time remaining..." but there is no estimated time remaining and it stays at the very beginning of the progress bar until I give up. I have already tried deleting previous backups, I have plenty of storage space (I bought more, thinking it might help), I have turned off backup of lame things I don't need backed up, and I don't know what else to try. Also, I have never gotten Pages documents to sync no matter how many times I've tried "enabling" everything on my iPhone and my Mac. AAARGH!

No.
An iCloud backup is separate from one done on a computer.
