Error Message 040EAE-5D-0000000 when trying to create recovery media creator

I need to create a recovery backup, and have a 20 G brand-new Verbatim thumb drive for it. When I go to try to create a backup on the thumb drive, the first error message was a general one. Started over, and then got the error code 040EAE-5D-0000000. I can't find anything on this error code after searching the forum, and on Google. I need to create a backup on the thumb drive, but I just can't seem to get this to work. Help, please.

Things got worse. In doing research, it appeared that a driver might have been the issue. So I went to the Toshiba site to look at drivers for my laptop. There were a number listed. I installed several system updates, and now my laptop won't boot windows. The following is the startup repair error message I'm now getting:
Problem Event Name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: 21200529
Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 06: 7
Problem Signature 07: Bad driver
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
I really don't want to put this thing in a box and ship it to Toshiba. I need to back out the drivers that were installed. But I need to get Win 7 to boot to do so. It would have been great if I had been able to create the system recovery media that I was trying to create in the first place.

I get an error message on my imac when trying to create home sharing.

I am trying to copy my contacts from my iMac to my iphone 4s using iTunes Home sharing. I get an error message stating that Home sharing could not be activated because an error occurred (5506) What does this mean? Am I using the correct application to perform this task?

I'd start with the following document with that one:

What may have happened is an error and a kernel panic, filling up the logfiles.
What I recommend is first to find a way to backup your data without booting the hard drive directly if it isn't already backed up, and then get Alsoft Disk Warrior to repair the hard drive.    You'll probably want an external drive from http://www.macsales.com/
And you'll want to go into Hard drive -> Library -> Logs, System -> Library -> Logs, and Users -> yourname -> Library -> Logs to remove whatever you find there.
If after booting it fills up again, start by removing all startup items in your System Preferences for your user, and rebooting in safe mode with the shift key held down. If the hard drive is over 85% full after removing the logfiles, you may want to look at what were the last applications you installed.
Peer2peer software if installed can be as bad as a virus, because it enables others to access your computer. Insecure wireless networks are just as bad, if they are WEP or no encryption and someone is within 1500 feet of your computer.
If no such software is installed, your RAM probably has failed.    Run the hardware test that came with your computer, by booting with the 'D' key.
If nothing shows up there, it can still be the RAM.   Especially if you've seen any 4 language screens telling you to restart.
Here's more on kernel panics:

"Recovery partition not found" when trying to creat recovery discs.

I received the following error message when trying to create recovery discs for the first time "recovery partition not found" HP G61 401SA Notebook and it is a couple of years old and has windows 7 as th OS.
I specifically purchased DVD-R discs for the disc creation, which was advised from HP site was the only disc suitable.
Am I doing something incorrect or is there an issue?
Is this why I am unable to also create a back up - are the two things related?

One more thing, could you advise on how much space the recovery might be approximately - I will need to make sure a USB has enough memory available. Take another look at the disk management window. The partition sizes are visible in the descriptions. My HP loaner has a large recovery partition at >20GB. That mean I had to use a 32GB usb flash drive Most others are smaller and a 16GB usb flash drive will suffice.

Getting error message Cannot Resolve Symbol when trying to compile a class

Hello All -
I am getting an error message cannot resolve symbol while trying to compile a java class that calls another java class in the same package. The called class compiles fine, but the calling class generates
the following error message:

I am using Sun JDK Version 1.3.0_02" and Apache/Tomcat 4.0. Both the calling and the called class are in the same directory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
tnx..

Is ConnectionPool in this "cal" package as well as PooledConnection? From the directory you are compiling from it appears that it is. If it is, then you are compiling it incorrectly. To compile ConnectionPool (and PooledConnection similarly), you must change the current directory to the one that contains cal and type
javac cal/ConnectionPool.

Error message WMC604 in VZAM when trying to connect to 4G using Novatel USB551L.

VZAM recognizes the modem, and attempts to connect to 4G. After about 10 seconds, a message appears,"Error WMC604, Device could not establish a connection". (I have no problem connecting to 3G, just 4G)
One clue: If I have "Control Panel>Network Connections>Novotel 551L open when I try to connect, I can watch (if I am connecting to 3G) the modem aquire an IP address and connect. If I am connecting to 4G, there is no such activity shown on Control Panel>Network Connections>Novatel 551L modem. It just does nothing until the error message appears in VZAM. It's as if VZAM is not communicating with the modem although during this time VZAM displays a message "connecting".
I have created a dial-up connection in Windows 7 according to the Verizon knowledge base article ID=29355 just so I could use 4G, and the modem connects and works just fine. I just wish I get it to connect to 4G using VZAM.
I am using VZAM version v7.6.3.1(2642f) and one of the things that VZ tech support suggested was replace the SIM card, but that didn't make any difference. I am using Dell XPS 8300 desktop running Win 7 Home Premium,SP1 currently, although problem is the same on my Dell 5160 laptop running Win XP, SP3.
Hoping someone here on this board can help. I have spent hours on the phone with Verizon tech support and they say they have never heard of this error, and have no clue how to make it go away. In checking Google, I see that it is in fact a fairly common error in VZAM, but no one seems to know how to fix it......Verizon reps on the board feel free to come to my rescue?
HELP!!!!

AdamE_VZW
Thank you for your reply. I checked Device Manager for conflicts and see none. I opened VZAM and Device Manager>Novatel Modem side-by-side on the screen and attemped to connect to 4G using VZAM while watching Device Manager for conflicts. There were none indicated when the WMC604 error appeared in VZAM. According to Device Manager, my Novatel modem driver is version 1.1.12.0 ; dated 12/8/10. The "update driver" button is grayed out so I don't know how to check for a newer version. This version is the one that came on the VZAM install CD I belive.
Some background about this problem: When I first got this modem and installed the software, it worked as it should. It came up in Global mode and connected to a weak 4G signal that was comming from the Portland OR airport. Because the signal was weak and un-reliable, the modem would constantly shift back to 3G, and then every few minutes back to 4G, over and over. I got tired of putting up with the constant hunting, and, using the diagnostic screen, locked it into EVDO mode until 4G went live in Portland OR in the middle of June. During the time it was in EVDO (3G) mode, I had no problem connecting to 3G using VZAM. When Portland went live, I locked it back to LTE mode, and that was when I discovered the error WMC604 message. This was using my previous computer, a Dell Dimension 4500 desktop, Win XP,SP3, and an external Wilson log-periodic tri-band antenna. Since Portland went live, my current RSSI for 4G runs around -68db, and SINR varies between -9 to -12 db.
I recently got my present computer, a Dell XPS-8300 desktop, Core i7, Win 7 Home Premium, SP1. I did a fresh install of VZAM on this new computer using the CD that came with the USB551L modem and then checked online (using 3G) for VZAM updates. It says I have the latest version. The problem is exactly the same on the new computer as it was on my other 2 computers. That tells me that the problem must lie with the modem firmware or hardware, because the problem follows the modem, no matter what computer it is hooked up to. I even took it back to the Verizon store where I got it and they hooked it up to one of their computers and got the same error message when trying to connect to 4G. 3G worked properly
As I mentioned before, the modem instantly connects to 4G using the Win 7 dial-up connection I created and gives pretty good speeds, about 10MB down and 4-5MB up, according to SpeedCheck.com.
I can use it the way it is, it is just frustrating that it won't work using VZAM.
Thank you for your attention and help,

Excellent!
Please note the following:
Note: iCloud Backup does not back up music, movies, and TV shows that you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, or any podcasts, audio books, or photos that you originally synced from your computer. iCloud Backup will restore your purchased music, movie, and app content from the iTunes and App Stores during the background restore process. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
