HT3275 Backing up 87.6 MB of 87.6 MB' and never stops.

My time machine keeps backing up 87.6 MB of 87.6 MB again and again and again.
I erased my time capsule drive ('0'ing out never did complete - seemed to hang at the very last stage - but a quick erase seemed to work perfectly) as I wanted to start fresh after putting a bigger HD into my Macbook Pro.
I have 'verified' my backup with no errors shown.
I have deleted the 'in progress' file (more than once).
Now the time machine says: 'Backing up 87.6 MB of 87.6 MB' and never stops.
If I delete the 'in progress' file within the sparsebundle it just prepares the files and gets back to this point again.
I usually backup over wifi but have bee trouble shooting over ethernet connection.
I just checked and it changed to 'backing up 130 MB of 130 MB' and now 'backing up 131.9 MB of 131.9 MB'. But it has been working continuously ever since I manually started the backup (again) this morning - without finishing or re-calculating anything.
Cant find any solution in the pondini FAQ.

Despite having little faith in getting a resolution I thought I'd post my latest update (in case anyone else is suffering the same fate).
I guess I will take everything down to an Apple store and see if they can help.
I was having issues getting the Time Machine Buddy widget to load and realized that the 'Dash board' was not working at all so I deleted my dashboard preferences.
Once I got Time Machine Buddy working l looked up and saw that my time machine has given me the error message: " . . . Time Machine must create a new backup for you." !!!
I don't know/doubt that this was related to my backup issues but have now just finished a complete new backup after erasing my entire backup drive (once again).
I have excluded my drop box and google drive folders- just in case.
It seemed to be working OK (hardwired over ethernet).
BUT now Im back where I started.
I did notice that sometimes the number of MB being 'backed up' was continually, but slowly, growing yesterday. It went through numerous 'attempts' Eventually it got to 'cleaning up'. And did for well over an hour……. (I went to bed)
I tried again this evening and it once again made a number of backups.
My time machine says that the oldest backup is 4pm yesterday (even though, yesterday it had an older backup from the night before) and my most recent was yesterday at 11:49pm - and it ran all night!!!!!
Here's the last of many, many, many 'buddy' logs(which backup I just cancelled):

I have a 2005 Jaguar xj8. When I tried to upgrade my 3gs to a 4g I got a ticking noise in the speaker and no one on the other end could hear me. I had to go back to a 3gs. My phone is shot and I need to upgrade. Has there been a fix to the problem?

I have a 2005 Jaguar xj8. When I tried to upgrade my 3gs to a 4g two years ago, I got a ticking noise in the speaker and no one on the other end could hear me. I had to go back to a 3gs. My phone is shot and I need to upgrade. Has there been a fix to the problem? Apple told me there was some sort of interference with the airbag system. Jaguar was totally unhelpful.

My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

I have an Ipad 2 and never updated the Ios bfore now. When syncronizing it I lost everything I have bought on Itunes. How do I get it back?

I bought an Ipad 2 some years back and never hooked it up to my computer (somehow). I was now to update the Ios on it, but when doing that I lost all the music I bought in Itunes.
When trying to buy it back it states "you have already bought this item".. Is it any possibillity to get this music back? I've used quite a lot of money on all that music and it is no fuin having lost it.

I plugged my ipod nano 6th gen in to the latest version of itunes today and as soon as i plugged it it it turned on automatically as it should when i came back to it 5 mins later, picked it up and it felt warm and it wouldnt turn on. what should i do?

I have the same problem and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I rebuilt my iTunes library and still my 6G nano crahes whenever I load an AAC tune onto it. MP3s and podcasts all work fine, it's just the AACs...
Just *loading* an AAC song will cause the Nano 6G to reboot as soon as it disconnects from Itunes. It will then reboot a few times and then go into recovery mode. :-(

My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

When I send emails using my iPad, recipients are telling me that I am sending them blank emails. I've had some of them forward the emails back to me so I can take a look and it seems that my message is actually there but the text is white...

When I send emails using my iPad, some recipients are telling me that I am sending them blank emails. I've had some of them forward the emails back to me so I can take a look and it seems that my message is actually there but the text is white. Interestingly enough, I was a Windows user just a few months ago and I was on the receiving end of this same problem with someone who was sending emails from her iPhone. I don't believe it is happening every time but if it happens even once it's a problem. Any idea what's going on?

Oddly enough, having reported the problem it appears to have fixed itself. There may be some combination swipe gesture that triggers it is all I can think because I suddenly manged to zoom my display x3 by double tapping three fingers. Took me a while to sort this out but then when I got back home I could suddenly see all my emails again. Bizarre!

Goods are sent back to the vendor once the Credit is taken and Utilized

Goods are sent back to the vendor once the Credit is taken and Utilized( Declared to Authorities)
Hi,
I have a scenario in which the inpur credit is taken at the time of the creation of the GR. The Credit is declared to the authorities on a monthly basis. The goods are to be returned to the Vendor once the Excise is declared to the authorities. In this case there is a problem that I can not Cancel the excise invoice as it has already been declared.
Can anyone please explain the process flow for this ?

Hi,
Dont Cancel the excise invoice , make excise payable entries through Tranzaction J1IS with refrence to Vendor return document.

iPhone and iPod touch: Frozen and unresponsive

Recently my iPad3 and iPhone5 stopped synching automatically to iCloud. Around the same time I backed them both up to my Macbook Pro and installed the iOS6 update. Any thoughts or help is appreciated!

Recently, I noticed that my iPhone5, iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th Gen stopped backing up to the iCloud automatically despite ALL of them doing so previously, without a single problem. A few weeks ago I bought a Macbook Pro and I backed up all 3 devices to it a couple times (and they still backed up to the iCloud by themselves without a problem). A few days ago, I noticed that ALL 3 OF THEM stopped backing up to the iCloud automatically. Around the same time, I backed them up to my Mac and I also downloaded the iOS6 update. I'm not sure what is wrong. Has anybody else experienced this type of problem? I'm NOT very familiar with MAC computers as this is my first one and I've been learning a lot as I go. I don't know if I did something in the setting's of iTunes when I backed the devices up that could have caused the decives to stop backing up to the iCloud automatically. I did notice on my previous laptop (a Gateway) and on this one (the MacBook Pro) that on each device, I had to go into "Setting's" on each device and turn the "iCloud Backup" back to the "On" position! That was right after I backed them up to each computer. I attempted to fix it yesterday by adjusting the setting's in iTunes, but nothing worked. If anyone can help, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you!!!

Ok, I can try those things this afternoon. I have to leave now and won't be able to try for several hours. I'll let you know how things turn out. Thank you again. Also, I am not sure what DNS Setting's are regarding the router and how to change them. Thank you again for trying to help me with this. One side note. I noticed yesterday on another post regarding this topic, a man said he changed his iCloud email from one to another. I have two. One is and @me.com address and one is an @icloud.com address. I switched them around the other day. One device had @me.com as the one the email one be sent from (I think that was the phone) and I believe the iPad 3 had @iCloud.com as the other. Well, I switched them both to @icloud.com. In the post I mentioned a man said that he did that to his, and it worked. That was a few days ago and this was around the same time I began noticing the devices not synching to iCloud like they should. Right now I have for the iCloud email account (on both the iPhone and the iPad) @iCloud.com as the setting that any emails from that account would be sent from and the @me.com is also turned to the "On" position on both devices. I figured that if I'm sending an email from an iCloud account it should say "@iCloud.com" after it rather than "@me.com" after it. I just did that so everthing was the same on both devices and out of personal preference. No other reason really as I don't ever use the account to email anyone and have never given either address to anyone. Only Apple has them and they sent a couple things initially and I never receive anything on that account (for the most part). Ocasionally I get something from Apple and that's a rarity. I don't know if that may factor in at all or not. It did for one gentleman. Thank you randers4!

I spilled some pop on the back of my iPad. I cleaned it off and everything seems to be going good but when I play music it will either play with no sound or play then continue with no sound. What can I do to fix this (without being costly, it's a iPad 2)

What can I do to fix this (without being costly, it's a iPad 2) this happens with other music apps too. Please I need help!

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. If it doesn't work, there isn;t much anyone here can do for you. It may be a physical problem with your speakers.

If you never backed them up, where do you suppose you can restore them from?
