Has Anyone resolved a directory error when backing up to an Airport Disk?

Beginning on 16 April, Time Machine stopped backing up to my Airport Disk. It still attempts but is unable to get past "Preparing" I can see the Airport Disk in the available disks in TM and I can get to the backups on the disk (oldest is 23 March). The error message says "Error occurred while creating the backup directory" I have seen mention of needing to remove characters frm the name of the disk and other hints. Nothing works so far. It seems strange that it would work for 3 weeks and then stop.
Thoughts?

I'm getting a similar message approximately every second time I try to update the vault. I've rebooted the computer but still the same issue. Seems a bit of a problem if you can't trust it to backup to the vault, can you trust it to restore if needed?

    I assume since you are posting in the iTunes U for iOS forum that you are having issues with the IOS version of the app. What is the exact error message?

  • Has anyone else seen this error when printing "Stopped - filter - failed"?

    Currently I am trying to print to a new Dell C1765NFW Color MFP with Mac 10.8.2. I can print from a Word document but not from an Adobe PDF file. I have cleared the CUPS folder and rebooted however it is still not working with PDF files. It attempts to print but then comes back with "Stopped - filter - failed". Any ideas? The printer is also connected through USB and the newest driver for the printer has been installed.
    Thanks!

  • Has anyone discovered a network error when trying to post or contribute to discussion?

    I have created many courses. The latest one however, I find that I can no longer take part in discussions in any way. I am the owner of the course and other teachers contributing have been able to work normally. I get a network error. I can still add posts as normal.

  • Has anyone seen the following error when using Safari on IPad?

    Warning! Your computer is at risk of malware attacks.
    We recommend you check your system immediately. Press OK to start the process now...
    Safari is frozen, but I clearly do not want to click OK. Is there a way to Force quit Safari? Everything else on IPad seems to be working fine. Thanks.

    I have not seen that particular message but in no way is it good. To force quit an application; hold down the Power Button at the top until the "slide to power off" appears and then immediately switch from the Power Button to the Home Button until the application quits.

  • TS4069 Has anyone resolved the yahoo server unavailable on the iPad when trying to rest email account

    Has anyone resolved the yahoo server unavailable issue with iPad

    the issues are on Yahoo's end. They have been updating/upgrading their servers for the past few weeks, and when they are working on the server your mail is on, you will experience outages.
    Usually all you can do is just wait it out or try a different way to access. For example I accessed my mail via safari when mine weren't working.

  • Has anyone else run across Error 213.23 or cpsid_83578?

    Hi All,
    I have a Master Suite CS5 installation problem on Windows 7 64 bit - Have exhausted first layer of tech service.  The 3 tech service persons do not have a solution for the errors shown below.  Next layer of tech service will call back.  It has been 2 days…
    I can install all programs except for AE, AF, and FL. Although I can install the other programs I cannot open any of the classical programs such as PS, AI, DW, etc.   When I try, I get the following messages:
    “A problem has occurred with the licensing of this product. Restart your computer and re-launch the product. If this problem still occurs after restarting, contact Customer Support for further assistance, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen - Error 213.23”
    Ran AdobeSupportAdvisor – the following errors came up “licensing program cpsid_83578 launch and serial # language do not match CS5”.
    Has anyone else run across Error 213.23 or cpsid_83578?
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Hi, Wonder if you found a solution yet??
    I've just purchase PS CS5, and run into the same problem and error message when I install it (Windows 7 /64bit). Tried to install it from the Administrator account and then it works, but when I log on to any other account CS5 is not available/working.
    Any new suggestions are highly appreciated!

  • Has anyone resolved the whirring sound from the Macbook late 2008 Optical Drive Self-diagnostic yet?

    Has anyone resolved the whirring sound from the Macbook late 2008 Optical Drive Self-diagnostic yet?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu. 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.
    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.
    If the hard drive does not appear in the DU sidebar list then it has died and will have to be replaced. No need to proceed beyond this point.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

    how to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

    Looks like the presentation column got Alias before your BMM changes, so in your case renaming logical column and deleting alias is not good to go.

  • Hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk

    hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk
    The destination drive is not connected

    Hello Mohammadshamlou.  I understand that you're having some issues using your Recovery Disc.  It is giving you the error that the drive is not connected.  Is this correct?  How long have you had the notebook?
    What issue originally led you to want to try a recovery?
    The error seems to imply that it is not detecting the hard drive as this would be the most logical destination drive.  So, I feel the best thing to try first is verify that the hard drive is in proper working order.  Follow these steps and please post the result. 
    Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
    Click the "Accept as Solution" button if I resolve your issue.
