Error (-402653077) when backing up for 4.2 update

Every time that i try to backup my ipod touch 3rd generation for the 4.2 update i get an error (-402653077) message. Then it ask me if i want to continue but it will erase all media from my ipod i really dont want to do this but can't seem to find a way around it. Does anyone know what the error means and how i can fix it.

I'll answer my own question, in case anyone in the future cares...
2-hour Apple tech support call with one elevation to a higher level...
It appears that one app installed on the iPad was installed by an IT pro at my wife's office, with his account and password. When I tried to update the iOS and sync the iPad, it was hanging while backing up the app whose account was not present.
I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, which did not affect the issue. I did a reboot of the (crashed, frozen) iPad, and it got partway through startup before appearing to crash again (not connected to the computer). After about a half an hour, the startup process suddenly completed itself, and the iPad was back, working normally. But it still wouldn't sync.
For that, I had to delete the app that had been installed by the IT guy's account. Now the iPad syncs normally, and everything's working.

    The mail system can be backed up with mailbfr and the resulting backup subsequently with any decent backup software. mailbfr will make sure the mail system is stopped while backing up.
    A server is always tricky to backup, because it is always in a "fluctuating" state. Ideally all services should be stopped before a backup. Some will not cause major issues, others like mail will. Unless you have some sort of raid setup, where you can take a disk offline for backup purposes, you will always have to be very careful.
    I would look for service specific scripts on an as needed basis. There are some around for SQL for example.

  • An error occurred when backing up this iPhone (-43).

    An error occurred when backing up this iPhone (-43). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone?  Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this phone. Not risking going further till Apple explains why the bug and what if means?

    Hey!!
    After many failed attempts this is what worked for me:
    Step 1. Right click on your phone in the left hand side bar and select Back Up
    Step 2. Restore your phone and use the option where you restore and update
    Step 3. When its done it will ask you to use the back up you previously completed
    Hopefully this works for you!!!

    Yes, many know what this means.  You can too.  Just type in "error 1004" in the search box at the top of this page.  Or, just look to the right.  You'll find many links in the "More Like This" box.

  • HT201210 why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s

    why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s??

    You might find this article helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

    I am having exactly the same problem right now. After some research, it looked like my HD was toast. I replaced it today, that part was easy, but now I cannot seem to use my original Install Disk to format the new HD. I get a grey restart screen, or if I get to the Language Selection screen, my cursor is frozen in left corner and I can't use it.
    Very frustrating, hope someone else has some ideas!
    PS My MacBook was about same age, and "expired" in exactly the same way as yours.

  • HT5030 I have encountered error 3529 when I tried to download the updates.  What is wrong?

    I have encountered "error 3529" when I tried to download the updates, what is error 3529?

    Okay, so I Right Click and nothing says "Link Media".
    When I double click on an asset it says, "the selected file cannot be linked because it has 2 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 1 audio channel(s)."
    However 1 video clip asset does open in CS4.
    The "Lesson One" project itself says, "file format not supported." still.

  • Error -43 when backing up iPhone for update 5.0

    I'm trying to update 5.0 on my iPhone 3gs and am getting error -43 when the phone is being backed up. Help! I waited a half a week hoping that the problem would go away, but it hasn't.
    I've read that some other users have erased everything on their iPhone so that they could update, and then manually installed everything after, but I don't have half a day to spend on this.
    Any ideas?

    Well, I've since taken the plunge and tried to update anyway, by restoring the iPhone, thinking I could restore from my backups. Now turns out that I can't restore because "the backup session failed". Goddammit.
    This is the biggest problem I have with my iPhone, that iTunes is such an abominable piece of software. I just want to get iOS 5 on this phone so I can leave iTunes behind.

  • Error message when backing up

    Hi
    I've backed up for the first timeusing PSE 7. Usually I do a general back up of everything on my laptop but now I want to make sure the file structure, tags, metadata etc are backed up correctly.
    I ran the backup to an external hard drive with no trouble but when I went to check if the back up had worked I ran into diffculities. Its obvious that the photos have been copied over but I'm not sure about the rest. If I double click on the icon that has the file type of tly or buc then the Editor opens
    up and I get the following error messages (depending on which icon I clicked on):
    Cannot open 'E:\PSEBackup13Sept2013\Backup.tly' because it is the wrong type of file
    Cannot open 'E:\PSEBackup13Sept2013\catalog.buc'
    Can anyone assist?
    My laptop has no memory left so I was planning to delete the majority of photos from my laptop once
    the backup was done. I'd then plug in the external hard drive when I wanted to access the photos.
    Thanks

    "My goal is to be able to remove photos from my laptop but still be able to run searches."
    Are you saying that you want to delete all your photos from laptop and still be able to search them from Organizer? That can be done from Organizer but the question remains 'why you want to search for a media which you have deleted'. If you have imported a media in Organizer and later you renamed/delete the file from hard drive then that file (actually preview) is sitll shown in Organizer though missing. You will be able to search them but can't do any operation like edit/share/export etc...So the question remains is 'why you want to search for a media which you have deleted'.
    Please let me know if I am missing something here.
