My iphone says that icloud has not been backed up in 2 weeks...but after several attemps to back up, it continues to say "the latest backup did not complete"...I did have the phone plugged into my computer & connected to wi-fi..and it was locked...any idea why it won't complete the backup? it says total storage is 5.0 GB & available is 3.3 GB

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

    every time I try to uninstall firefox a window pops up and says that a previous upgrade was unsuccessful and I need to reboot. I have rebooted several times, I have downloaded a "fresh version" and installed it. It won't uninstall. Someone please help!!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • Use last value if new value not avaliable after a certain amount oft time

    Hey guys,
    So I want the loop below to execute every half second,
    however the "read power in" VI takes around 5 seconds to return a value, which means the loop can only operate every 5 seconds (it waits on a value from the "read power in" VI.
    Is there a way to tell the program to use the last value of power returned from "get power" every 0.5 seconds if no new value has been returned?

    Ahhh, I see why you did this.  I thought that diagram looked familiar.  You posted this question: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Search-string-value-to-return-integer/td-p/1330516
    You need to use a USR (uninitialised shift register) to remember what the last string was that was not processed and prepend it to the last one. Attached is an example.  The inner loop breaks up the string but remembers where it was broken the last time to allow it to spit out the next part of the string on it's next call.  The outter loop reassembles the string and only spits it out if it has gotten a full string.

  • MS Word is losing its save location after a certain amount of time

    we are having an intermittent problem where if we create a word document from sharepoint 2010.. then wait a while (1 minute to 10 minutes it changes) then click the save button in word (office 2013) the "Current Folder" (showing the current sharepoint
    location) disappears. Does anyone know why this would happen.  I have a hunch that its something to do with network connectivity since if I turn off and turn on my network adapter it has the same affect.
    has anyone else had this problem?  how to troubleshoot (we have been looking at wireshark traces and haven't seen anything obvious)
    krd

    Hi krd,
    Based on your description, I recommend to verify the things below:
    Did you mean the location of the document under Current Folder was missing? So no location was listed under Current Location or Was there another location displayed?
    Check if this issue only occurs with the documents in SharePoint. Test with a document stored in your local drive.
    Check if the library where you created the document exists or not in SharePoint.
    Could you please provide a screenshot of this issue for further research?
    Thanks,
    Victoria

  • Is there any way to get questions to appear on a question slide after a certain amount of time?

    Here is what I'm trying to accomplish.  I would like the narration to play on a slide, and some images will appear while the narration is speaking as well. Once the narration is done the questions will appear, and the user can select their answer.  I do not see anywhere that I can set timings for the question area.  I thought about making this into two slides, but if the user wants to hear the question again they would be unable to since it's on a previous slide. If anyone has an idea, or a workaround, please let me know.

    The default objects on question slides (question type, question, answers, buttons...) are embedded in that slide, don't have a separate timeline, and that is why you cannot time them individually at all.
    Two possible choices:
    Create a custom question slide, using standard objects (over which you have total control), advanced actions and scored objects to transfer the score to a LMS if that is necessary
    Use two slides as you already proposed: you can set the objects to display for the rest of the project, so that they also will be visible on the second, question slide. You can add a shape button to a question slide, to have the narration played again if the user wishes, using the same audio clip as you used as slide audio (I think) on the previous slide, now with the command 'Play audio'.

  • Why does my iTunes stop playing after a certain amount of time?

    When I begin a Playlist in iTunes on my 2009, 24 in. display iMac, it will suddenly stop playing after a few songs. I have looked through
    every setting I can locate, but am unable to correct this problem. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    On the webite for the station. look for a Listen link for another type of player.  Many stations are going away from streams that iTunes can link to.  while you're on the website. look for a Contact Us llink and report your trouble.   They might not be aware there is trouble.
    Do a Get Info, go to first tab and Edit URL.. Copy and paste the stream URL here so others can test it.

    I'm having exactly the same problem. I have a new iPad, my iCloud account is set up and verified (I wouldn't be logged in and writing this otherwise), auto backups are turned on, but it's never completed a backup. If I manually select 'Backup Now' in iCloud Settings, it times out while estimating time remaining. Strangely, today my iCloud free storage space went from 5G to 4.9G then back to 5G. Annoyingly, I'm now getting reminders that I've never backed it up! The iCloud help I followed from the forum didn't cover this error message.
