E63 doesn't initialize after backup and firmware u...

Hello, I live at Brazil (don't worry at the English mistakes) and I bought some weeks ago a Nokia E63 cellphone. I updated its firmware and it stopped working after I restored the backup.
I used the Nokia Software Updater, and it showed that I could update my cellphone (from version 2xx to 4xx). I did all the program told me to do: I did a backup of the cellphone using the PC Nokia Suite and I removed the memory card. Nokia downloaded the data and installed them, without problems or pauses. The cellphone's screen looked normal, like a cellphone in factory default.
After that, I restored the backup I had done. After the process, PC Suite told that cellphone would restart. After the restart, the cellphone stop to work properly, and showed the message: "Error in the cellphone initialization. Contact the seller". I tried to connect it to PC Suite or to Nokia Software Updater, but neither can see the phone.
Since it's a software problem, I thought it can be solved in another way than sending it to Nokia support. I searched over the Internet looking for some tips, but I could find nothing.
Can you help me? Thank you for reading this,
Gláuber M. O. Nunes
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Pull out the battery and memory card if you got one and wait 5 min. The put your phone back together and try starting it.
If it won't start normal, try pulling out the memorycard and reboot without it. If the phone starts without the memorycard - you will need to format the memorycard.
If your phone won't boot properly anyway, you should perform a hard reset. This will wipe your phone memory, but after all you've backed up. (Note that there could be a issue with the back up).

Time Machine Backup and Firmware Lock

I am working on my backup and security plan. I am using TM and SuperDuper for the backups. I use the OSX Firmware Password Utility for a little extra security. Does this firmware password lock impart any security to the TM backup? My guess would be that it doesn't - it would be helpful to know for sure. Tony

Does this firmware password lock impart any security to the TM backup?
No; it's implemented at the computer level, not the drive level.

I lost my music after backup and restore. can i get it back

is it possible to get my music back after a backup and restore ? i lost all my music.

Is all your music in iTunes on your computer? If so with your device plugged in make sure the sync music box is checked.

How to get everything exactly as it was after backup and format

I want to backup and format my one and only Macbook Pro internal drive in order to properly defragment for boot camp partitioning. However, when I'm done, I want the OS X portion of my computer to be exactly as it was; files, logins, applications, etc. Like it never even happened. I have an external USB drive that's plenty big enough, at least twice over.
So here's what I was thinking about doing:
On my external USB, I would format into 2 partitions (which would each be more than large enough to accommodate a full image of my current operating drive), and then in Disk Utility, I would save a "new image" of my current operating drive onto partition 1 of my external. This would be an overnight operation I would think. Then, to test it out, I would "restore" partition 2 to the image on partition 1. Also, a lengthy process I would think. Then, partition 2 would be bootable as a full computer which would look exactly like my current computer.
Right?
Is this fantasy?
Because at this point I could format my internal drive using extended journaled, then "restore" the internal drive to the image I created, which still exists on partition 1. Right?
Other options, I assume would be:
Setup assistant
Migration assistant
Do a time machine backup to the external, then restore from that backup after the reformat
Any help here?

There is only one way to defragment the drive quickly and safely. Erase an external drive or volume on an external drive large enough for your internal drive. Clone the internal drive to the external drive or volume using the Restore option of Disk Utility:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external drive or volume.
Source means the internal startup drive.
Boot from your external drive: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive/volume and click on the downward pointing arrow button. Once booted from the external drive/volume:
Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Now restore the clone from the external to the internal:
Restore Clone to Internal Drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the internal startup drive.
Source means the external drive or volume.
+Note that all you do differently is reverse the drives in the cloning process. The external drive/volume becomes the Source and the internal startup drive becomes the Destination.+

After full TM restore to new HD, TM doesn't show older backups and won't run

Also will not perform a backup again because it says the backup is too large for the backup disk?
I can deal with backing up to a new external HD, but how can I find older file backups from this particular external drive?
Are they gone?
(the current external is partitioned. an older bootable backup that has a capacity of 250.39 GB with 171.96 available
and a TM partition that has a capacity of 749.34GB with 363.88GB available.)
I tried to change the partition in disk utility but i could only drag down the non-TM partition. It wouldn't let me add room to the TM partition.
Is this happening because the new internal HDD is larger than the previous HD?
Current capacity of internal is 999.86 with 606.3GB available.
There seems to be plenty of room to fit the above.
What's the deal?

The size of the partition for Time Machine depends on the size and amount on data on your hard drive. The general rule of thumb is Time Machine should have 2-4 times the amount of space as the data on your hard drive. There shouldn't be any problems with a partitioned drive. I'd also consider having 2 backups as hard drives do fail. Either another Time Machine backup or a clone and Time Machine. Since you are using Snow Leopard, a clone would probably be easier than constantly switching drives in System Preferences.

Freeze at startup after System and Firmware update - Help!

I took the automated system upgrade last Sunday including updates on a bunch of Apple applications, OS X 10.4.6 (it was included if I recall correctly) and a SMC Firmware update. After downloading all files and installing them my iMac restarted. After that the SMC Firmware upgrade started and I followed the instructions ending in another restart.
This is where my problems began. At this startup I got through the grey screen with the Apple logo and got so far as to the blue screen with the Mac symbol saying something like "starting up". The progress bar started moving and froze after reaching about a fifth of its final length.
As this was a firmware update I didn't want to interrupt anything so I left it for the night (no progress in the morning) and for the next day. Still no progress when I came home from work so I shut it down (pulled the power cord).
Efter this I've tried to fall back using the Firmware Restoration CD available at Apple's support page, but this doesn't work. My iMac refuses to start the installation of the old Firmware even though I follow the fallback instructions. (After starting the computer and keeping the power on button pressed I wait for the front light below the screen to first flash rapidly for a while and then do a SOS (three short, three long and three short blinks). The SOS however, never happens, instead the computer proceeds directly to the grey startup screen before it freezes when it reaches the blue screen.
I have no clue to what to do. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

minxlj,
It is not my intention to be rude, however, it is my intention to be direct. Do you have a G5 or do you have an Intel Core Duo, or perhaps even both? Because right now your signature says you have a G5, which has PPC chips in it made by IBM, not Core Duo chips made by Intel.
The reason I ask is because, just as in another Discussion here in the Intel forum, you are responding to information that appears to not apply to the computer you say you have and you are giving information that, if you have a G5, does not apply to the computers of the folks here in the Intel forum.
Could you please clear that up by correcting your signature so everyone here knows you are comparing oranges with oranges and not mangos with oranges?
Staffan,
As far as the SMC Firmware update and the Firmware Restoration CD, the two items are not related. The Firmware Restoration CD is only for the Firmware Update that came out in mid-April. It is intended for someone whose computer messed up in the application of the Firmware Update and is intended to bring their computer back to its Firmware state prior to the botched Firmware Update. It will not assist you if you had problems applying the SMC Firmware Update from early May.
If I am understanding your description of your Mac's problem it sounds if if you have successfully installed the SMC firmware update, but now have a possible 3rd party satrtupitem that is not allowing your Mac's OS X to fully boot. You can check to see if both the Firmware Update and SMC Firmware Update have been successfully installed by booting your Mac into safe Mode by pressing the "Shift" key during startup. This boot will take longer than normal because it is verifying and repairing your directory. After the desktop appears, go to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler. In the Contents section, highlight Hardware and Hardware Overview should show; Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B03 for the Firmware update and SMC Version: 1.1f5 for the SMC Firmware Update.

OVI Suite Backup and Firmware Update

Hello,
So this might be a little long winded, but it's just what I've been through so I cant' really condense it down anymore.
So a few days ago now (almost a week) I received an SMS from Nokia telling me to update my phone firmware. I then hooked my phone up to my PC, and checked for software updates. I updated OVI Suite to the latest version, rebooted and then checked again. It found the update for my phone and asked if I wished to apply it. Naturally I said yes, it then told me I should backup my phone first, and then asked if I would like to do that now, which I said yes to, and chose to backup everything. It then downloaded the update, applied it, and then asked me to restore my phone, All of which appeared to work fine.
A quick look through my phone to check everything and it all appeared normal, My custom theme was there, my facebook app was there, my contacts/photos/music were there. Oh but wait, I was missing my Sudoku game. A little odd, yes, but no worries I got that from the OVI store, I'll just be able to re-download it, because that's why you make purchases from app stores instead of publishers directly.
No, apparently not. This game wasn't listed in my "My Stuff" tab in the OVI application. That's ok, I'll just download it from the SMS I was sent originally.
No. Not that either. The SMS link is no longer valid. So at a loss I decide to turn to technical support, I mean after all I have a technical issue I need support with.
I e-mail technical support Basically telling them above. Then then ask for a transaction ID, which I have no record of (not sure why not?). I then provide even more information, ask them to escalate, ect. End result is, I don't get my game back. They have no record of me downloading this in the past, and for some reason it isn't available to download anymore.
Frustrated, I e-mail the developer/publisher, explaining my situation. They respond promptly (within the hour), providing my with a link and SMS to download the application again, and apologise for Nokia's behaviour. Nice. I've now got my game back things are good again in my world.
So with that little story in mind, I raise a few questions. Why was this application not backed up/restored with my phone backup? This seems like a pretty serious bug, especially considering that technical support won't provide download links for games or applications unless you can provide them with information provided by Nokia in the first place ( :s very round about).
My situation is pretty small in the whole scheme of things I guess. But if it can happen to me I guess it can happen to others. So why Nokia can things like this happen? What would have happened if this wasn't a small game, but rather a largish application, with data, that cost lots of money? Sure I could have gone directly to the publisher then as well, but if the purchase was made through the OVI store, what record would they have of me? This centralised store is supposed to handle all of these problems (ie, Steam or Apple App Store). Also how can bugs like this get through the alpha/beta testing of the OVI Suite backup utility? This must surely be considered a critical part of the application.
Judging from my response from Nokia thus far, I'm not sure if I'm even expecting a response to this. I guess it should server as a warning to others if they think they can trust this software or even the technical support behind it to back them up in case of issues. My advise? Get a different brand phone.

Hi,
I used to install applications on my memory card than in phone memory and i used to take out memory card while updating the phone's firmware, so that i can avoid any loss of application while updating the phone's software.
May i knw in your case, have you installed the application on your phone memory(i guess you have stored on your phone memory only) still its better to get clarify so that it may be an eye opener for rest.

Backup icon doesn't disappear after backup?

Why doesn't the backup icon disappear after a backup is finished?

A Time Machne icon for the backup drive appears on the desktop when initiating a backup. After the backup finishes, the Time Machine icon usually disappears. But lately the icon remains on the desktop and I have to manually eject it.
Why is this happening? How can I get the icon to automatically eject itself and disappear after the backup finishes like it did before?

Seeking a way to shut mac down after backup -- and trying to save power!

This might take a while, but please bear with me...
I have a network of approx 10 macs which are backed up by EMC Retrospect. Under previous versions of retrospect which ran under system 9 and earlier, you could shut a mac down, it would go to sleep, then when the backup was finished it would sut the mac down. This no longer works on OS10.x so we have to leave all the macs on all night to ensure the backup is completed which is a terrible waste of power. So, my question is, is there some way -- a script perhaps -- to make a mac shut down after an event (eg. after Retrospect has backed up its contents) to prevent us having to run all the computers all night?
thanks
Luke

In Applescript, you can still shut down the computer, so there is no reason Retrospect could not run a script to shut down the Mac after completing. You might want to ask them why they dropped the capability.
You could write an applescript that starts Retrospect, and then periodically checks to see if it is still in the process list. If not, it calls System Events to shut down. You should probably post that question over in the [Applescript|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724] forum.

ITouch stuck in recovery mode after iTunes and firmware upgrades

my iTouch has hung in recovery mode and will not restore after I updated to iTunes 7.7.1.11 and tried to update the firmware suggested on iTunes Summary screen after launching the new iTunes. The firmware I was at was 1.1.4 and iTunes was offering the update to 1.1.5. Now the iTouch is stuck.
i have tried the restore function, removed/reinstalled all Apple software, the iTouch resetting procedure (hold power & home buttons together), NOTHING WORKS.
HELP
Thanks,
nitefisher

I am having problems similar to this. After the ITUNES 7.7.1 upgrade and the ITOUCH 2.0.1 upgrade, ITUNES thinks the ITOUCH is is recovery mode and it must be restored. If you use the ITOUCH it works fine. I have recovered at least 10 times over the last 2 days. The ITUNES syncs sometimes and says restore is necessary sometimes. Various other errors pop up too. "The Ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred(6)" is just one of the errors. I wish I could back out the software because the hardware is fine. I suspect bugs in ITUNES. It's bad enough you have to pay for the ITOUCH upgrades but they have errors in them too. I've read numerous variations of this in the last 7 days with no clear fixes. Even the problems I am having are not consistant. If anyone has a clue let me know. Thanks.

Unable to find data after backup and installation of snow leopard

Lots of data has disappeared?
I backed up my data by dropping my hard disk icon onto an external drive, at the end of the copying process, i checked to see that the backup drive had used the same amount of file space that i had on the computer.
I then formatted my laptop and installed snow leopard, now when looking at the backup drive a cant see all my files?
i have done this at various other times without problems, any ideas

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Intel iMac 17"s slow - even after SU and firmware update

Just got 3 Intel iMacs (w/512MB RAM) to upgrade 3 users at my company, and have found basic startup (and later, opening apps) to be cripplingly slow. I have already:
Run Software Update;
Run the EFI Firmware update;
Repaired permissions;
Run Repair Disk vis "fsck -fy" from the console...
The only things I have not messed with are the USB peripherals.
Any ideas?

If you have the 17" iMacs with the 1.83 GHz chip you don't really even have 512MB of RAM. That model shares RAM with the video chip, which uses a minimum of 80 MB. Leaving only 432 MB, at most, for the Mac OS and any software you are running.
If you are seeing the spinning beachball of death you don't have enough physical RAM and the Mac is using virtual memory and constantly accessing the hard drive. You won't be happy until you have a minimum of 1 GB.
Get more RAM.

HT1710 password doesn't work after archive and install

I was advised to do an Archive & Install, without preserving info to see if it would fix a weird slowness issue.
I just did the Archive & Install, and when it restarted, it showed my name and photo, but it wouldn't accept my password. I can't login. All I can do is restart or shut down.
I rebooted from the install CD. Same thing.
I rebooted in safe mode. Same thing.
Help!

My photo want sync and my you tube doesn't work after update and my battery drains fast.

this new update doesn't work like i should work my photo doesn't upload my you tube doesn't work & my battery drain faster than ever now

Synching new photos from iPhone to the new Photos app on the iMac is incredibly slow. Placeholders for the photos do appear but the content stays white (initially) then black. As an example, I started the Photos app some 15 minutes ago and am still waiting for the synch of merely 11 photos to complete.
Since I agreed to pay 4.99 euro per month to extend online storage to 200 GB, I would expect flawless behavior. I am disappointed.

How to resync third generation iPod Touch after backup and restore and re installation of the operating system?

Hello. I have a third generation iPod Touch that I have been having problems with the cover art not displaying by the correct artists and the volume automatically adjusting after spell check has corrected a word. I backed up and restored the device and reinstalled the operating system, which fixed the bug I experienced with the album art not displaying next to the correct artists. Since that has happened, my computer no longer recognizes my iPod. How can I get it to recognize the iPod Touch again?

Make sure you have the laters version of iTunes. The latest is 11.1
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Run this to help if it identifies the cause
