How do i fix my backup assistant

My backup assistant won't work

What are you trying to back up here?
The best way to Fix Backup Assistant is to do the following (if your trying to make a back up)
1) change your contacts to Google Contacts and let Google back them up.
2) if you are trying to backup Data, use Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft Cloud or one of the other reliable clouds
3) disable Backup Assistant

Now using Cloud to backup my contact - how do I disable/remove backup assistant plus

My wifes phone was setup to use backup assistance plus. I set it up to use Cloud -but it is still backing up with BAS. - how do I remove it? G

You can't completely remove it. However you can default the choice in your 'My Accounts' selection in the Settings menu.
However, I tend to use both due to my free cloud storage is already full and the BAP still is able to back up my contacts.

How i do fix a Remote Assistance file that has deleted in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security?

Due of my accident, I cleaned a lot of idle files that I don't use while tapping "Delete" hotkey until a mistake I made. "Remote Assistance (TCP-In)" file has missing now. I'm looking this file need restore in Window Firewall, but how?
Not sure if my computer may be critical after deleted a file allow to unblocked through firewall. I'm not a tech, but I need help. So please!
This list are files I have now:
Remote Assistance (SSDP UDP-In)
Remote Assistance (SSDP TCP-In)
Remote Assistance (RA Server TCP-In)
Remote Assistance (PNRP-In)
Remote Assistance (DCOM-In)

Hi,
What you are talking about are Firewall rules, not files.
They should be created with Group Policies.
If yes, it can't be deleted from your client until an Administrator delete the rule in the Domain GPO.
You should talk with your system administrators to see if they didn't change something.
Or maybe you have deleted msra.exe in your system32 folder?

How do I fix aLaCie Backup Drive that runs constantly after Maverick upgrade

LaCie backup drive for time machine runs constaantly after Maverick upgrade. This is using resources and slows the processor

After installing Mavericks on my one year old iMac (loaded) Time Machine failed (Pegasus Promise Thunderbolt 3TB). I tried unmounting it, didn't work. Rebooted: Time Machine failed again [Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “Time Machine”. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.] was the only message. Had to reboot to get Pegusus accessible again. Tried re-intalling Maverick (old Microsoft thing... reintall the OS). Didin't do anything for Time Machine, same failure. Booted into safe mode: nothing, same probelm. Repaired permissions: no joy there either. So, now have no Time Machine backups at all. And Time Machine won't work with the Pegasus. [same error message after 30 min or so every time]. ordinary file saves work fine though.
Ideas please?

Backup Assistant Plus simply doesn't work, how do I disable it?

I have a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S III and when I set up my contacts, I added them as "Phone" entries with the expectation that the Backup Assistant Plus app would allow me to back them up. Except that it doesn't and, from what I've seen online, it is a miserable piece of junk that simply doesn't work for many people.
Soooo....
I sent all my contacts as a big V-card to my Gmail account, sorted things out in Gmail, unjoined them all on the phone, and deleted the Phone entries. Now I only have Gmail contact entries and they synch with no issues.
My only question now is, how do I disable/stop Backup Assistant Plus so that it doesn't constantly give me notifications about how incapable it is? I've tried clearing it's data and forcing it to stop. But it comes back from the dead, like a demonic zombie! It appears the only thing the app can do is resurrect it itself for the sole purpose of notifying me that it will fail to do anything useful.
Any and all help with this issue is greatly appreciated.

Your instructions above DO NOT WORK, under Manage Applications I get "Uninstall updates" - I cannot uninstall it. It is a "system application" and I am locked out of that control. GRRRR. Clear data does not do anything for performance.
Even when on wifi, this app's backup of data is slower than TAR in January. Biggest issue is the
The reason the steps to uninstall the app didn't work is because the DROID 3 is running Gingerbread (Android 2.3). The instructions above were for the Samsung Galaxy S III running either ICS (Android 4.0) or Jelly Bean (Android 4.1).
You can however "Clear the Data" for the app and from that point never use the app. The phone will learn to not load it into the RAM in case you ever use it.

How do you fix Backup Assistant Plus Lost Network

I have a Samsung S4 Mini. It came with Verizon's Backup Assistant Plus installed. I believe it should backup my contacts to a Verizon server somewhere. However, since the day I got the phones, Backup Assistant Plus fails every night with a "Lost Network Connection. Please Try Again". It doesn't matter if it connected by WiFi or Verizon 4g data. The error will happen if the Sync Contacts is checked or un-checked. The only options for this app are a check box for Sync Contacts and the Sync Time. There isn't any option to Remove Account, Disable, or Un-install. I've tried Clear Data and Clear Cache. There is some vague information on Verizon saying the Verizon Cloud replaces Backup Assistant Plus. I enabled Verizon Cloud and it seems to backup my contacts ok. But Backup Assistant Plus continues to attempt and fail.
- I do not want Verizon backing up anything, How do I disable, or remove Backup Assistant Plus?
- If I can't remove Backup Assistant Plus, How do I stop the constant Backup Assistant Plus failures?
- If Verizon Cloud replaces Backup Assistant Plus, why is it still installed and running?
- And the obvious question - - Why does Verizon insist on backing up my contacts whether I want to or not?

I just had a similar problem and tried many of the steps on these Blogs. None of them worked. But I did get it working by turning on my Data. I normally keep Data off and use WiFi as much as possible so the Sync was failing and I was getting the Lost Network notice. But as soon as I turned on Data it started uploading and downloading my contacts. That was all BAP. But I could go to the Cloud and update via WiFi just fine.
So, why did I still work to get BAP working? BAP was stuck in a loop to try and get the Backup done. Since it couldn't it tried repeatedly and I believe it is why my battery was draining more rapidly than normal. Hopefully by turning on DATA the battery may last longer. If not I need to turn BAP to manual backups only. I hope I can find out how to do that.

Hey ktillis88,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may be helpful:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
"Backups for appname cannot be turned off at this time."
This message occurs if disabling Backup for an app on your iOS device does not complete successfully. Wait a few minutes and then attempt to disable Backup for the app again. If you continue to receive this alert, contact iCloud Support for assistance.
Thanks,

When I try to download all my info like notes and contacts onto a new iphone an error appears saying that it is incompatible or the backup was corrup, how do I fix this?

What specifically are you attempting and what specifically is occurring?

My ipod won't sync any of the music i downloaded and says that iTunes can't backup the Ipod because a session couldn't be started with the Ipod how do i fix this

My ipod won't sync any thing in my iTunes library it always stop as soon as it starts backingup the Ipod a message appears that says iTunes cannot backup the Ipod "my Ipod" because a session couldn't be started withthe Ipod how do i fix this problem?
This is exactly what the message says: iTunes could not back up the iPod "austins ipod" because a session could not be started with the iPod.

Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

How can I restore contacts from Backup Assistant

My contact list has been corrupted. I have been using Backup Assistant for some time and want to restore my contacts from a previous backup.
Verizon seems to have changed BA since the last time I used it and the only function seems to be to take my corrupted contact list from my phone and store it. Any suggestions on recovering my non-corrupted contact list?

Here is a reply from a VW CS regarding the same question a few months back:
Click this link Backup Assistant (sign in) to check if contacts are available. You may sync directly from the site, by simply clicking sync on the right hand side (above contacts).
You may also try to sync by adding your G-mail account to the your device then go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > Ensure Sync is on for G-mail account. You may also select Auto-sync.
