Can't create backups anymore
Hello,
A while a go I disabled auto-backup using terminal by this command
"com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true"
Theoretically, to enable backups again I would just change it to false. BUT it didn't work!
I get "-bash: com.apple.iTunes: command not found"
I don't have "Back up" option when I right click on my iPhone in iTunes. It's gone.
_*What do I do now? How do I create backups again?*_ I have also tried using disablebackup.app but didn't work either.
It's not a lazy solution - it's a workable one. And it doesn't take very long either.
A risk of terminal hacks is precisely this - that they have unintended consequences. If this is an Apple approved process, then report a bug to Apple. If it isn't, then whoever provided it should have put the usual disclaimer in about using at your own risk.
I don't mean to dump on you, but I just think that, rationally, an iTunes reinstall that fixes the issue is more attractive than a drawn-out search for a compensating hack

I can't create new folders on 2 of my volumes anymore.
I am using OSX Leopard 10.5.2 on an iMAC.
The blue New Folder icon in Finder is greyed out and the disk icon is showing a little lock, so the volume seems to be locked for some reason.
I still can add files, but I can't add new folders.
How can I fix this ?The problem is the lock. You could try this Terminal command to clear it:
chflags nouchg /Volumes/"Name of Drive"
Hit Return after giving the command and see if the lock icon disappears. If the drive name contains spaces, for instance "Mac Back Up" you need to surround the name with quotes. If it is all one simple word, just Backup for instance, you don't need the quotes. The Terminal is in your utilities folder.
Depending on the permissions on the drive you might need to run the command as super user. Let us know if the simple fix works.

Can't create backup dvd ! Impossible de créer DVD de sauvegarde
Hi, before formating my hard drive, i want to save my file, i go in "Files---Library" and i can't find option create backup DVD, got only Organize/export library or import liste , can you help me please ?
Bonjour, voulant formater je souhaite sauvegarder ma bibliotheque iTunes, mais quand je vais dans "Fichier_bibliotheque" dans l onglet je n'ai pas la proposition pour créer un dvd de sauvegarde, j ai seulement Organiser/Exporter bibliotheque ou importer la liste, ou trouver l'option pour faire une sauvegarde ?That feature has thoughtfully been removed from 10.4. You will have to use some other process - external to iTunes - to back up your files now.

Time Machine can't create backup on Synology NAS DiskStation (Error 17)
My first time trying to use Time Machine.
Configuration iMac: OS X vers. 10.7.3, 2.5 GHz, 4 GB Memory, 500 GB Disk
Destination of Backup: Synology NAS DiskStation DS212j, Mac File Service for Time Machine activated, user for Time Machine created
Log reports:
Starting standard backup
Network destination already mounted at: /Volumes/TimeMachine
Creating disk image /Volumes/TimeMachine/JoeiMac.sparsebundle
Error 17 creating backup disk image
Failed to create disk image /Volumes/TimeMachine/JoeiMac.sparsebundle, status: 17
Backup failed with error: 20
What means "Error 17"?
Any idea what went wrong?
Hope you can help.That's the problem with using a 3d-party NAS with Time Machine; it has it's own software that's supposed to interact with OSX, and when something goes wrong, it can be very hard to sort out just what and where the problem is.
First, make sure that model is fully compatible with Time Machine on Lion (some are, some aren't), and install any software/firmware updates Synology has for it.
Second, make sure the names (of all odd things) of your Mac and network aren't too long and don't contain any special characters, per #C9 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Third, make sure you're following Synology's instructions exactly. -
Time Capsule still can't create backups
I keep getting the message "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume"
I have tried everything on the Forums, like; re-naming my TC, Giving my sharing folder a name, deleting the sparse bundle, deliting the last backup volume, repairing the premissions, etc.
One suggestion was to look at the messages in Console - to see what was causing the problem. I have looked but it is all techy babble.
I am hoping someone can decipher it for me......

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?
It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less. -
How can I create a system backup in Solaris 10?
Hello,
sorry about my English.
I need to create a image of entire disk or a system backup. I think use "ufsdump" but I'm not sure. Can I create a backup of whole disk with "ufsdump" command? Are there any application to do it.?
I've got a Solaris 10.
Thank.
Alejandro.If you want to create an image of the entire disk, then `dd' is an option. But you can also use ufsdump to create an image of a filesystem running on that disk, but you need to do that for every filesystem on the disk and please keep a copy of you vtoc for the future if you need to restore everything.
On the other hand you make me thing about someone who wants to clone machines and then a Flash Archive can also be an option. Please keep in mind to ask the question in the future instead of conformation of your answer ;-) -
How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?
Several times in the last year, I've gotten a message that Time Machine needs to completely redo my backup. Using the wireless connection, this takes almost two days. Is there a way to do the backup with ethernet and then switch back to wireless? Thanks.May I know what is needed to make sure the MacBook is able to see Time Capsule on ethernet?
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule now, you will need to perform a "hard reset" by holding in the reset button for 7-8 seconds or so and then reconfigure the Time Capsule. You can use the same Time Capsule name and password, etc. as before.
Configure the Time Capsule to "Create a wireless network" and select the Bridge Mode option when it appears during the setup using AirPort Utility.
Once the Time Capsule is configured, restart the entire network again. Power down everything, start the 2Wire first and then start each other device after that one at a time about a minute apart.
Now you can connect your Mac directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the backup using another Ethernet cable. In general, about 20-25 GB per hour will transfer.
The Time Capsule will broadcast a much faster wireless network than the 2Wire can provide, so you might want to leave the setup "as is" for awhile after the first backup is complete. If you decide to use the Time Capsule as your main wireless access point, you would want to turn the wireless off on the 2Wire since two wireless networks in close proximity can create interference problems.
Or, if you want to use the wireless on the 2Wire, you could turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule. Then backups will occur over the 2Wire wireless, or over Ethernet.
I don't really recommend the "Join a wireless network" setting on the Time Capsule for most users, but you could go back to that setup as well if you want after the first backup is complete. -
Can I create a full backup on google drive by moving my user folders to Google Drive Folder?
Can I create a full backup on google drive? Google suggested I simply move my folders (Pictures, Music, Downloads, Documents, etc) into the google drive folder. But these seem to be automated files involved with Mac's organization... will this create problems for my computer? Ie. if I import new photos, or download music, will my computer know where to put it if its in google drive?
If this is a problem, how else could I possibly create a full backup of personal data on google drive (or any similar syncing service, for that matter). iCloud is prohibitively expensive, and programs like crash plan and carbonate run so slowly and bog down my computer so much that they are not worth it. Google drive seems simplest and most competitive in price, but I am worried about moving my folders.
Help?Google Drive also installs a client--a google drive folder on my hard drive that is programmed to sync changes automatically to the cloud--that allows me to drag and drop. I suppose my original concern was about dragging files from my hard drive (such as "pictures" that would contain my iPhoto library, etc) into it. Would that mess up Mac's internal organizational system? If I drag and drop my pictures folder, music folder, etc. into the google drive client folder in Finder, will those applications still function correctly? Will my mac still be able to figure out where to put photos I import from my camera, etc?
I am only as tech savvy as I have to be to survive professionally as a traveling teacher, so I am looking for something pretty straightforward that will free up some of my brain waves for other activities, rather than remembering which folders I have made changes in and need to sync. -
Can I creat an new iCloud account and make it the primary one for my backups and buy extra iCloud storage for it? Thank you
Hey Hindfromlondon,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.
You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud. See:
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
What is an Apple ID?
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
and further down:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Regarding iCloud storage check out
iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.
Take care,

With SP16-17 we can't create support message from satellite system anymore
hello,
We have implemented the support package 16 and 17 SAPKITL427 in solution manager last week-end and since then all satellite systems can not create support message anymore.
The process is perfectly working in solman itself and we don't think we have thus a process customizing issue here but who knows...
The key user creates the message with the help -> create support message
and when he saves it (clicking the mailbox button) he gets the following error
Error in Local Message System: Function not available Message was Not
Created
In fact the error Message is BCOS088
We debugged the function BCOS_CREATE_MSG and we found out that the function
DNO_OW_CREATE_NOTIFICATION is returning error code 1.
We checked out RFC connection and it looks ok
There is no dumps in ST22, no error in SLG1 in both system...a nightmare
The notification SLF1 is created in solman but the status field of the notification is empty and it looks that the record is somehow corrupted because you can't modify it with dnotifwl.
Due to the fact that the notification is not correctly created the support message is also not created.
SAP and our solman consultant are working on it since 2 days but don't have a clue. Maybe some program where no regenerated correctly ?
If you would have any idea in which direction to look, i would greatly appreciate
thanks a lot

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!
I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff. -

I can not create an Installer on LabView, After install the Vision Builder Demo and then uninstall it. I can not create a Labview installer anymore, it asks me for a Vision Builder Installer, even if My Labview program does not have nothing to do with it...
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi Shada this can happen if you are including additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you are doing this the installer has to include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder it updated MAX, so when your installer is trying to Include MAX, its asking for the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.
Here you can cache the information so its not asked again, or you can download a newer version fo DAQmx, so it will update MAX and change de dependecy.
You can find more details about this issue in this KB:
