HT201250 Why time machine returns an error message that says "unable to open version"?
I am using Neat for Mac (a scanner software), but it looks like time machine is not doing the backup for it. Every time I open time machine and I have that application opened time machine shows a message that says "unable to open version". Does anybody know what this mean?
Thanks
No, sorry I haven't heard of it.. but there are several softwares around that cause TM issues.
Is the scanner on the network? Or are you backing up to a USB drive and the scanner is also plugged in by USB.. Expect issues anytime you have an application that is going to take control of the port that TM requires for the backup..
It might be easy to solve by simply using another device that plugs in differently.. ie FW800 disk instead of USB.. or instead of Time Capsule if it is network issue.
Or simply buy a different backup software. Since Mavericks.. Time Machine is troublesome.. that is far from the only backup choice.. or even the best one.
Carbon Copy Cloner is my current favourite.. but others are certainly readily available and doubtless work fine.

Can someone please offer some suggestions why I am getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when I try to download or update my apps in the app store?
Thanks!
disregard! i noticed someone else's post about signing out of the app store and signing in again and it worked.....Hi ...
Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps. -
I am trying to export my iPhotos to an external HDD. As soon as it gets to 200 photos, I get an error message that says unable to create volumes/freecom/my pictures. Can i remove this limit or increase it? I have nearly 17,000 pictures to export.
1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I am trying to purchase a printable gift certificate from iTunes, and I keep getting an error message that says, "Your Apple ID is not eligible to purchase gift certificates." You can purchase gift cards from retail locations. I can't do this because I live overseas. I've tried deleting and re-adding my credit card information, and I've submitted a support ticket to ask for help. I see from my Google search that this is not an uncommon error message to have, but I can't find a solution!
No, I am a US citizen living overseas, but I am going through a VPN and I am using a US-based credit card. I have no problem purchasing apps, just purchasing gift certificates. I'm going to try gifting the app to the person I am purchasing for until Apple straightens this out for me.

Everytime I open my imac I get an error message that says: "We're sorry but the Safari browser version your are currently using does not support the community toolbar." I can't see where it affects anything else, but getting an error message on an imac, just doesn't seem right, ya know? How can I get rid of the message.
Apparently an add-on named Community Toolbar was installed at one time, and is causing the problem. To get rid of it, quit Safari, then throw away these files -
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Macintosh HD/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
Macintosh HD/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Note - if you are using Lion, the Library folder in your home folder (user name folder) is hidden. To get into it, in Finder open the Go menu; with that menu open, press and hold the Option key. An item "Library" will be added to the list, and can then be selected. That will open the Library folder in your home folder. -

Since updating itunes with 10.4 I get an error msg stating I can't burn CDs or put videos into itunes. I tried repair option twice, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, same problem. I do not have any CD/DVD burning software installed.
I recently had to reinstall my software for a
dell computer a dell latitude d 830, then after installing all of my software and such including itunes the player did well even record to disks with no problems now that my system has done alot of updating of system files....now the itunes does not burn to my cd...error message 2131 this time
The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131? -
Why do I get an error message that says "Incompatible Types"?
I am a newbie to Java programming. I have experience with VB.
I am using Net Beans 6.1. I was following a sample program that shows me how to use the JDBC ODBC bridge to connect to an MS-Access file.
I get an error message at this line:
statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
statement was declared earlier with:
private Connection connection;
private Statement statement;
private ResultSet resultSet;
Here are my imports:
import accessingmsdb.Page1;
import java.beans.Statement;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.swing.text.html.Option;
import java.lang.String;
I am also getting erros on the following 2 lines (these follow the first statement above):
statement.execute(query);
resultSet = statement.getResultSet();
The site that has the sample does not have a forum. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Edited by: Matt_in_MI on Aug 20, 2008 1:39 PMstatement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);Probably because that driver doesn't allow you to use the mix of the two parameters that you passed.

I keep getting an error message that says: unable to process HyperEvent . Why?
Whenever I tried to access my SmartSnipe account I get an error message (see above), and it won't let me in. If I go in through Internet Explorer instead of Firefox I do not have this problem. How can I access my account using your browser?
Hi, Kenny.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple things that I would recommend trying. Try closing all open applications and power cycle the device. Next, go through the section labeled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the second article below. If the issue persists, try completely signing out of the iTunes Store on the iOS device and sign back in. Be sure to test downloading an application after each step.
iOS: Force an app to close

I was in the midst of a Firefox session w/two windows open. Nothing special about the sites. No fancy javascripts or anything. When I closed the second window and opened the "History, Show all History" pull-down, the Library screen had no data in it.
I looked for the Bookmarks.html file in my profile and it is missing. I tried renaming an old .bak file from a couple years ago and I can open it as a file and see the text of it displayed but Firefox will not recognize it as and open it as the Backups file.
Following the directions already posted - using "History, Show all History" then the "Import and Backup, Restore" process - allows Firefox to see all the backups, but trying to restore from any of them yields the "Unable to process the backup file" error message.
I have re-started my machine from a cold start - twice now.The file that stores bookmarks is probably damaged, for details on how to fix that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox

Firefox simply doesn't open. It's our favorite browser, so we want it back!
We get the message: "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.yahoo.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."
we tried un/re-installing. i tried to create a new profile, but the browser wouldn't let me. i went into my firewall settings, but nothing looked unusual. i tried restarting in "safe mode" but the same thing happened.
it looks like i'm not connected to internet, but other browsers (the awful things) work just fine.See these threads about searchqu:
