Cannot Find backup Assistant

So I bought a phone from a private party. He had the phone rooted, whatever that means. So I now go to upload all of my contacts through backup assistant yet I am unable to find the app. Any ideas where I can download it or find it so I can put it back on my phone? Thanks

Hi there Mseldredge!
Having your contacts is really important. Although I can't assist with the phone alteration, I do have a couple of recommendations.
You can transfer your backup assistant applications to your gmail instead. Follow these steps please:

The second option is to Hard Reset your phone, but that may or may not remove the alteration. You can find those steps here:

Please keep us posted!

I cannot get backup assistant to work on my Cosmos 2. It keeps saying that I entered an invalid pin (but I've been entering the pin that it tells me to enter). I'm in the process of transferring phones.

JWensley,
Sorry to hear about the trouble with the PIN! Let's get you past that so you can complete the transfer process. Are you receiving that PIN by pressing the # key as outlined here: http://vz.to/1zINyY8 . Is this the initial backup on the old device?

Time Machine cannot find Backup Disk

Hey I just got Leopard and I have a backup disk connected to my router which is shown in finder on my shared list, however, when I try to set up Time Machine it cannot find the disk... any ideas?!
Many thanks

Only Time Capsules work wirelessly with Time Machine.

Cannot find DAQ Assistant drivers..

I'm trying to run a program written (I believe) on 7.1 however when trying to run the program I have a series of missing VI prompts. I have been able to locate most of these on the old hard disk and have pointed to them, however I cannot find the Configure DAQmx Assistant.vi required for the VIs in the program even though I have installed NI-DAQmx 7.2.
I don't believe the other program was written with anything other than these resources so I'm a little confused. Was a later NI-DAQmx driver possible installed?

Hey Karen,
Firstly please ensure that you have installed the DAQmx drivers. You can download the latest version from the following link.
http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1614/lang/en
Please check the readme file, to ensure that this software supports your version of LabVIEW (I am fairly sure that it does).
As a rule of thumb you must always install the drivers AFTER you have installed the application developement enviroment (in this case LabVIEW 8.5.1). Once this has been been done, you will find the llb file in the following location.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5.1\vi.lib\express\DAQmx\DAQAssistantConfig
You will find the DAQ assistant in the "functions pallete" on the block diagram, by navigated to Measurement IO >> DAQmx >>DAQ assistant - or by searching for the assistant.

Time Machine: Cannot find backup (external hard drive)

Hello and thank you in advance for your help.
I have a MacBook Pro and am running OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I use TM to back up to a 500 GB LaCIe external hard drive, which has worked fine for over a year of ~monthly back-ups. The back-up porcess typically takes some time, but less than an hour or so. While backing up this week, it just halted....and was still backing up 24 hours later. I quit the back-up, dismounted and remounted the LaCie, tried again, but it still got stuck in the backup process overnight. After searching the forums, I used the disk utility to re-partition the LaCie to ensure it had only one partition. When I re-started TIme Machine, I got the message "Your Time Machine backup disk can't be found." It shows up in finder, but when I tried to find it in the TM Preferences, it's not there, so I cannot select it. I dismounted the LaCie, rebooted, and remounted the LaCie, but that didn't fix anything. Help, please?

Part 1 of my problem is fixed. I decided to run the disk repair and then re-do the partiton process, but this time, I kept the default name assigned to the partition by disk utility ("Untilted-1"). Now TM sees it, and is backing up. Part 2 remains to be seen. I expect it will take 24+ hours anyway, BC I reformatted the LaCie, and this is essentailly the first backup on a re-formatted hard drive.

Cannot find backup after updating to iOS 5

Hi all,
This morning I updated my 3GS to iOS 5. Because I kept getting errors, I backed up my phone, copied to bachkup to another location, then restored my phone to factory settings, then updated to iOS 5. That was all fine, but now I cannot restore my phone from the backup. The backup disappeared from its original location, and when I copied it back there, iTunes did not recognize it. It only recognizes an older backup that was in the same folder.
How can I make sure everything is restored from my lastest backup?
Also, running iTunes on Windows Vista 64 bits, if that matters, and I do have iTunes 10.5.
Thanks!

Solved it by copying the backup files from one computer to another. They are found in this folder on PC
C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
The restore on the other computer went without problems, though I have to reinstall all apps, but all settings, photos and so on has been restored.

Cannot access my account, cannot receive email verification code, cannot find online assistance

I need to login to my account. For whatever reason, I'm being asked to verify my identity, but only given the option of receiving a verification code via email. How about the option of a text or security questions?
I believe my provider blocks Best Buy email, because they're not being filtered out as spam. Somehow I get marketing ads via email, but I never receive order confirmations or order updates. I'd like to get in to my account and perhaps change my email, but guess what, I can't get in! You also have no semblance of online support. Please help!

Hi Superfriend,
I can imagine how frustrating it may be to want to access your BestBuy.com account, find attempting to do so futile! It would certainly hinder you from getting the most out of your online shopping experience.
I am sorry to hear you have been stuck at the identity verification page as you seem unable to receive the verification code email. This is a step we added for additional security purposes, and I apologize if you have found it at all inconvenient. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate your BestBuy.com account utilizing the email address you registered with the forum.
That being said, I am sending you a private message to gather the details necessary to look into this further. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum and clicking the

Time Machine cannot find Time Capsule after turning auto backups off

2010 macbook 7,1 OSX 10.6.8. Brand new rev.4 Time Capsule 2TB (MD032LL/A) just bought yesterday.
Everything set up just fine and wireless is working. Backups are working.
Issue is that as soon as I turn the Time Machine slider to Off (I can turn it back to On at this point, doesn't matter once it's been in the Off position) in TIme Machine preferences, then try and Enter Time Machine or do a backup, it cannot find the Time Capsule (says cannot find backup volume or such). I have to reselect the drive even though it's icon is showing right on the preferences screen. A reboot will enable it to find the Time Capsule without my input.
If I leave Time Machine turned on, the backups run fine and I can enter the Time Machine. It is turning off Time Machine that triggers the issue.
Tried the following:
-Rebooted Time Capsule
-Made sure Time Capsule name is less than 27 characters (it is 19)
-Firewall is off
-Filevaullt is off
-Booted into Safe Mode
-Repaired permissions
-Trashed TIme Machine plist
-Updated OSX
At this point I called Applecare and they had me send them a capture of my TIme Machine data and will get back to me Monday.
Oddly, my 10.5.8 iMac G5 2ghz is working fine with Time Machine and does not have this issue. I can turn Time Machine off and on all I want and it can find the Time Capsule with no problem.
Thanks for any help.

Apple is still working on the issue but I have now noticed that I cannot VNC into my work PC anymore. I get a "Could not connect to server, connection refused:5900"
I am using Chicken of the VNC and it worked fine until I got the Time Capsule. I know that 5900 is the port used for something and this sounds like it is related to the Time Capsule.
I can't help but think this is also related to the "Cannot find backup disk" message from Time Machine. This all sounds like the Time Capsule goofed up the works here.
Also, I now have tons of reports in the console of it not being able to count items in a file at system/library/StartupItems. That folder is NOT there. Which is why I assume the errors. I have seen a few other reports and people are just restoring the file from Time Machine or making it via command line with admin. When I go back far enough in Time Machine, the file IS there but has nothing in it.
I asked Apple about that too and they checked a 10.6.8 computer and it had the file so not sure what is up there. Not sure if it was 10.6.8 update or the bunch of iTunes, etc that I did after that.
Have not restored that file yet, will wait to see what they say about the Time Capsule mess.
Any ideas on restoring my VNC connection?

Can I download Backup Assistant from my computer to my phone?

My LG 8360 has lost its mind. I am unable to download any app due to the phone automatically scrolling through contacts, calling people by itself, going through menues and beeping constantly. I can't physically make a call manually. I have followed instructions sent to me by Verizon to fix the problem, but it doesn't work. I cannot download Backup Assistant from my phone due to these problems. I cannot make calls. I cannot receive calls.
Is there any way I can send the app to my phone through Verizon's website?
Thanks.
Linda

You can send the back up assistant application to your device; however, you will need to go through your device to purchase it. For more information check here - -> http://tinyurl.com/3yxrxj4

Backup assistant: Cannot find online contact list for 2ndary phone

My wife and I have LG8360's - flip phones - and I have the secondary line. I used backup assistant to back up our contact lists. I can find her's but not mine. Is there a trick at log in that I need to do? We are ditching these and going to smartphones so I would like to get this figured out.
Thanks!

If you haven't already done so, you need to create a separate log in for the secondary number. Completely log out of the account for the primary number.
Then click on REGISTER, and put in the secondary number; create a username and password for that number - and you should be good to go. If it tells you the # is already registered, then you are not completely logged out of the primary account.
Each number needs to have it's own log in to MyVerizon for Backup Assistant, and the Media Store for ringtones, etc.

HT203322 Still having issues with installing Yosemite after deleting "Backups.backupdb" on the internal hard drive. I have restarted multiple times and cannot find any other back up files, yet I still receive the same error message during installation.

I am using a 2011 iMac on 10.6.8. I recently downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and during the installation process ran into the "this disk is used for time machine backups". I ejected the external drive I use for time machine backups and turned off time machine in the application. I then followed the instructions of the help article (OS X: Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups - Apple Support) by moving the folder "Backups.backupdb" that I was able to find on my internal hard drive to the trash. I have restarted several times after completing this process. I am still running into the same error during the installation process. I have searched the hard drive for any other backups and I cannot find any. I searched the hard drive using the command cmd-shift-g and searched for “backups.backupdb” and was unable to find any folders or files. Any other suggestions?

I have resolved the problem - I did not actually delete the "backups.backupdb" folder, I only deleted the contents of the folder. I must have only searched on the user account for the folder after I thought I had deleted it. Thank you for the assistance everyone and I apologize for the inconvenience!

Windows 7 Backup "The System cannot find the path specified" - Error Code 0x80070003

I'm having severe problems backing up my own machine to a share on our
FILE-SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\
I have already backed up another PC successfully using exactly the same settings I have used on my own PC. So I presume it is nothing to do with the
FILE-SERVER or the Backup settings. It has to be something to do with what I'm trying to backup from my machine.
First some background.
This exercise all began when the Windows Server 2008 r2
O/S fell over on one of our Servers. I tried reinstalling the O/S several times, without success. In the end I grabbed another drive and re-built the O/S. I then had problems promoting it to a Domain Controller on the network.
In the end I renamed the Server from FILESERVER
to FILE-SERVER.
We routinely share four folders on what is now
FILE-SERVER:
\\FILE-SERVER\Backup
- a Folder where backups from all other machines are written, so that they will be backed up with the Server
\\FILE-SERVER\Company
- holds all our Company data
\\FILE-SERVER\GEM
- this is the application folder for our own database
\\FILE-SERVER\Install
- holds all Install files for the software we use
These are all held on a RAID 1 Array that is separate from the System Disk that fell over.
Prior to the Server falling over, I had Backup working fine on my machine.
On my Notebook PC I had made these shared folders 'Available Offline', so that I still had everything available to me when I was out of the office. They were
of course shared as \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\...
Having got the Server up and going again, I began to get the Backups from the Windows 7 Client PC's going again.
I started with a Desktop, which of course did not have any Offline Files.
That proved relatively straight-forward.
I then started with my machine. Initially I did not make the above shared folders 'Available Offline'. I set up my Backup using exactly the same settings that
had worked OK on the desktop machine. But when I ran the backup I got:
The System cannot find the path specified, Error Code 0x80070003
I tried all sorts of things to get it to work:
I restored the system to the earliest point possible,
I ran chkdsk,
I defragged the drive
All to no avail, so I tried backing up:
with and without a system image,
reducing the backup to a single folder,
a single Folder with only one .txt file in it,
making the Folders 'Available Offline' again.
Nothing made any difference.
In the end I looked in the Sync Center to look at the Offline Files Folder.
Under Mapped Network Drives I discovered I still had the Files and Folders from
\\FILESERVER. In their Shortcut Menu 'Always Available Offline' was greyed out. So I deleted the Offline Copies. This deleted the Files in the Folders but not the Folders.
Since I could find no way of deleting the old Mapped Network Drives, I decided I'd painted myself into a corner by renaming the Server.
So I bit the bullet and re-installed my Notebook too. This did get rid of the unwanted old Mapped Network Drives - BUT NOT THE ERROR!!
I’ve been through all the troubleshooting procedures in:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/629597bb-7be0-455c-b81e-a149472d3f9b/windows-7-backup-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-error-0x80070003?forum=w7itprogeneral
Method 1
It had none of the symptoms reported in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455
but I scanned for ‘reparse’ points anyway. Found several “Junction Points” but none that were “Mounted Volumes”, just ordinary ‘File Folders’.
Method 2
Check a drive for errors.
Looked at:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
Checked
both boxes. I closed machine down, to check for errors when it re-started.
It didn’t seem to find anything.
I say seem, because I did not actually see it finishing checking the empty space, but stages 1-4 found no problems and Windows 7 restarted normally.
It did detect 66 ‘Reparse’ Points, which is more than it found when I scanned for them earlier.
Method 3
Yes, I am an administrator or my own machine and, as such, I have ‘Full Access’.
I downloaded an ran the Process Monitor, filtering for Process Name “Wbengine.exe”, but did dot get a single event.
So I’m not sure what’s going on.
HELP - I'm out of ideas!
I have a WORD Document that documents all the Settings I've used on both the Server and the Clients, together with the reasoning behind those settings, but
I cannot find a way of uploading it.

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks.

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.
