Can't turn off Backup on Palm Pre !

I really don't want this Backup function on my phone ! When I disable it, I just get a spinning circle ... that's it ... nothing is happening !
any tips ?

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Have you tried restarting your device after turning off backup? How about closing the Backup card and re-opening to see if it did turn off? In some lower coverage areas, the change won't reflect until after a card cycle.
Upon looking at your device information, it looks like your backup is currently disabled.
Hope this helps,

  • AFTER receiving a text message, how to turn off sound on Palm Pre

    Someone has to help me with this, because I'm at my wits' end! I used to have a Palm Centro, and really, any other phone before my new Palm Pre, goes something like this:
    1. You get a notification ring(s) when you receive a new voicemail or text message
    2. You press the volume button, hit the screen, etc
    3. THE NOTIFICATION RINGS STOP!!!!
    Does Palm Pre not have that capability? If I'm texting back and forth with someone, I have to listen to the WHOLE THING EVERY TIME? Tell me that Palm has thought of a way to fix this, because it's driving me batty. It's the only thing I completely hate about this phone, and I can't find anyone here that has had the same issue...
    How do I make the ringing stop?????

    I don't know about anyone else, I get the notification for everything that happens: for IM's, texts, when I charge the battery, when I'm low in battery, etc. The issue that I have, and that I hope someone has the solution, is that from my old Palm Centro, and really, every phone I've ever owned, there was something I could press that would stop the notification! Nothing stops the notification though! and it's a good 30 seconds... Which is not a big deal when it's one text message, but when it's 4 texts messages going, it never stops!

  • Can I turn off Macbook while Time Capsule is archiving Time Machine backup to a USB drive?

    My Time Capsule is archiving my Time Machine backup to a USB drive attached to it. I have initiated this process on my macbook (on the same lan with the Time Capsule), on which I am monitoring the archiving progress on the Airport Utility. Still almost a couple of days to go... Can I turn off my Macbook, or will that interrupt the process of archiving?

    If LaPastenague is willing to do a "test", then we will all know more.
    Opened my big mouth.
    The archive is happening.. I turned off the computer it was setup from.. running Mavericks and latest utility once I got it started. I have been checking from v6 utility on Mountain Lion.. and it is excruciatingly slow. But is running.
    I can check the progress but v6 utility is utterly and completely useless.. it continually shows the same numbers.
    v5 utility does show it is crawling along.
    v6
    20min later..
    Look, look, there is a tiny blue fleck in the progress bar!!
    v5 utility shows the actual progress. Actually tells you total and amount backed up so far.
    Amazing how advanced v5 utility is over v6.
    The estimate of 10hours is probably correct at the present rate of progress. I suppose for 500GB, around 50GB/hr is about what we expect from TM backups etc.
    I will post another picture in an hour and probably kill it then before I die of watching paint dry.

    how can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?
    I know the password, but don't seem to be able to turn off the feature.

    If you press the Home button and open Security, you can change "Auto Lock Device" to "Never". Does that do what you want?

  • How can I turn off other languages on my ipad running ios7?  It has Japanese or Chinese and the international keyboard is set to English.  Thank you.

    How can I turn off other languages on my ipad the next generation running ios7?  I have the international language set to English but it's showing a foreign language and sometimes it shows the foreign language with English.  Thank you.

    The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
    If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
    You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
    You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.

  • I can't turn off Genius!

    I just can't turn off Genius.  I have signed out of the store, I do not use Match so it is not turned on.  Turn Off Genius is grayed out.

    If the phone does not show up in the device list in iTunes on your computer, you can't back it up anymore.
    If your phone is set to back up to iCloud, at least your contact info and photos should have been backed up, if you selected those items to be included in the backup.
    Did you try to connect in recovery mode?

    Try:

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings

    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    i can't turn off find my ihone, always show "there was a problem when canceling the registration of this iphone with icloud" please help me. i can't restore my iphone before turn off find my iphone

    If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.  When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again.  If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

  • Turn off backups while restoring!

    I had a 500 GB disk that just went bad, but since all the data was backed up on another drive by Time Machine, I decided to restore to a new drive. This probably would have worked just fine, but I neglected to turn off backups, and this created a problem.
    I was restoring about 335 GB of data onto the new drive (which I had given the same name as the old drive) and Time Machine seemed to be working just fine, giving an estimate of about 5 hours for the copy to complete.
    However, when I checked the system this morning, the copy had aborted, with the reason being that the files no longer existed on the TM drive.
    What I think happened was this. TM kept on backing up files from the new drive, which resulted in its running out of space on the TM drive. So it automatically deleted old backups, including the one that I was restoring from.
    I wish that TM had been smart enough to avoid this problem, although I can see how I could have avoided it myself by turning off the backup function while doing the restore, or by having it warn me before deleting backups. Lesson learned.
    Happily, the files all seem to be intact and I'm restoring them now from the only backup that still exists, the one that TM made yesterday!

    Sorry, not realy that familiar with Windows :-(
    I am starting to get a bit confused myself.
    Could you be a bit more specific, what option you choose "Automatic Backup" during installation. What backup are you refering to?
    Did you make a screenshot of the installation proces, so that you can include this?
