When I try to back up my Iphone, I get a message that My Iphone can not be backed up on my computer.  My computer is authorized and I have been successful with this in the past. I uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled the lastest version and the same problem occurs.

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine. 
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups.  The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more.  The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine. 
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

  • When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks...)

    When I try to export from iMovie '11 I get repeated messages that the project is too big. Why? Is there a workaround? (I have already cut a 40-minute movie into three chunks... the first exported to iDVD ok, but the next one of 15 minutes balked for the same reason -- too long...)

    I wish I had a mac :-P 
    Sadly, this is Windows machine so I dont have a non-iOS version of iMovie.  I have 2 ideas left.  The first is xfering the project to my iPhone 4 and trying to export it there (if that works, awesome but geez apple the iPad 2 is way more powerful than the iphone 4.. youd think I wouldnt even have to attempt this).  The 2nd idea is to start at the end of my movie and delete clips and sounds backwards, trying to export each time to find whatever clip is causing the issue (when the movie was 5 minutes it mixed no probem, so I only need to go that far).
    Wish me luck? 
    Also, is anyone else besides me and the 5 dudes in the other threads having this issue??  Speak up, guys - Apple cant a fix a problem they dont know about.

  • When I try to install 3.6.13 I get a message that I can't because I don't have permission to access some parts.

    I have downloaded Firefox 3.6.13 on my new MacBook Pro. When I try to move the Firefox icon to the Applications folder as instructed I get a message that says I can't do this because I don't have permissions to access some parts. I am the administrator and the only one who uses the computer. The box in system preferences that allows me to administer the computer is checked.

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • When I try to open a zip file, I get a message that state operation not permitted. What do I do to correct this?

    I've retrieved a download application in zip file format. During download, a message appears that states decompression failed. When I try to open the file, I get a message that the operation is not permitted. How do I correct this situation?

    Make sure the place you are downloading the zip file isn't using a password protected zip file. 
    What operating system are you using?
    Have you installed any decompresison software, or are you using the system built-in software?
    Where are you downloading the application from?
    Is your data backed up?
    Are you using any firewall software or system optimization software, or any browser addon software?

  • When I try to got to a website I get a message that says 403-forbidden error

    this is what I get when I try to go to a website...
    403 - Forbidden Error
    You are not allowed to access this address.
    If the error persists, please contact the website webmaster.
    If you are the webmaster of this site please log in to Cpanel and check the Error Logs. You will find the exact reason for this error there.
    Common reasons for this error are:
    * Incorrect file/directory permissions: Below 644.
    In order files to be read by the webserver, their permissions have to be equal or above 644. You can update file permissions with a FTP client or through cPanel's File Manager.
    * Restrictive Apache directives inside .htaccess file.
    There are two Apache directives which can cause this error - 'Deny from' and 'Options -Indexes'.
    how can I fix this?

    When I've had a similar problem, it was because I was accessing the iTunes store from a device I hadn't used before, such as when I upgraded from an iPad 1 to the iPad 2.  It was a little confusing to me until I figured it out.
    All I had to do was use the ID of my existing account and play along with the iTunes store.  As I recall, it asked for my password twice, and the security code from the back of my credit card.  After that, downloads proceeded as before.

  • I cannot override my previous version of Firefox with v4.0. When I try to drag it into applications, I get a message that there is a newer version already there (not true).

    I have been following the download instructions. But I never get a prompt to place the file into the Applications folder. So I open the file, drag it to Applications, and get a message that I already have a newer file in Applications. However, this is not true. When I drag the file to the Firefox icon, I am told that can't be done because Firefox is already open.
    I have done several other updates, never had this problem before. I have a MacBook.

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor; your system is a PPC Mac.
    *System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
    The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
    *System requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 3.6.x]
    *Download Firefox 3.6.24: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You can try the third-party product '''''TenFourFox''''' that supports PPC Macs. Firefox 8 version of '''''TenFourFox''''' is available. The product is based on Firefox released versions. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:

  • When I try to install 3.6.18 I get a message that the installation failed because an other copy of Firefox was running. But this is not the case. How may I install the downloaded new version?

    I have tried to install this new version several times, but each time I got the same message. I have no other program running on the PC when I perform this installation. My present version is 3.6.16.
    Best regards

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.
