I am getting an error message on my itunes when trying to back up my iphone 4s, itunes could not back up iphone because an error occurred.
Please help me!!!! I have tried all of the steps that I have found listed for this issue. I am not sure if I should try to contact my phone provider or not. I am getting an error message without an error code. That says: Itunes could not back up Iphone because an error occurred. Please if anyone one knows any steps I should take please let me know. My iphone and Mac and iTunes are all up to date.
Itunes: Version: 11.0.2
MacBook Pro: OSX: 10.8.3
iphone4s: iOS 6.1.3
Thank you
Excellent!
Please note the following:
Note: iCloud Backup does not back up music, movies, and TV shows that you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, or any podcasts, audio books, or photos that you originally synced from your computer. iCloud Backup will restore your purchased music, movie, and app content from the iTunes and App Stores during the background restore process. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
The above comes from this article:
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
Best of luck with this.

Need to know how to fix this to be able to save edited portraits again.
I am having the same problem with Photoshop CS5Extended. I am using a MAC, and a NAS (Synology drive). I only have problems saving onto the drive. I can copy files to the drive just fine, but trying to save with Photoshop I get the same "write access not granted" message. Here below are my steps:
1. Open .NEF file in Adobe Lightroom
2. Right click, say "open in Photoshop" (file moves over to Photoshop)
3. Edit file in Photoshop and save. I get error "write access not granted." If I try to save as, I get the same error. It will not save the file in Photoshop to my Synology drive.
4. I can save this same file on my Mac Hard Drive without any problems. I can copy and paste and image using the finder into my Synology drive and it works. But trying to save an image onto the drive using Photoshop creates errors. -

Cannot boot my MacBook Pro. Tryed CMD+R, reinstall OS, error message :damaged HD. When trying to repait it says it's OK. Yesterday HD wasn't even half full when I turned it off, now it says it's full.
What may have happened is an error and a kernel panic, filling up the logfiles.
What I recommend is first to find a way to backup your data without booting the hard drive directly if it isn't already backed up, and then get Alsoft Disk Warrior to repair the hard drive. You'll probably want an external drive from http://www.macsales.com/
And you'll want to go into Hard drive -> Library -> Logs, System -> Library -> Logs, and Users -> yourname -> Library -> Logs to remove whatever you find there.
If after booting it fills up again, start by removing all startup items in your System Preferences for your user, and rebooting in safe mode with the shift key held down. If the hard drive is over 85% full after removing the logfiles, you may want to look at what were the last applications you installed.
Peer2peer software if installed can be as bad as a virus, because it enables others to access your computer. Insecure wireless networks are just as bad, if they are WEP or no encryption and someone is within 1500 feet of your computer.
If no such software is installed, your RAM probably has failed. Run the hardware test that came with your computer, by booting with the 'D' key.
If nothing shows up there, it can still be the RAM. Especially if you've seen any 4 language screens telling you to restart.
Here's more on kernel panics:

This means that either your firewall/antivirus is blocking access to Apple's servers, or you have used your computer to jailbreak an iDevice in the past. The link above tells you how to resolve this issue. -

Getting error message Cannot Resolve Symbol when trying to compile a class
Hello All -
I am getting an error message cannot resolve symbol while trying to compile a java class that calls another java class in the same package. The called class compiles fine, but the calling class generates
the following error message:
D:\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\cal>javac
ConnectionPool.java
ConnectionPool.java:158: cannot resolve symbol

PooledConnection pcon = new PooledConnection(con);
^
ConnectionPool.java:144: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class PooledConnection
location: class cal.ConnectionPool
PooledConnection pcon = new PooledConnection(con);
The code is listed as follows for PooledConnection.java (it compiles fine)
package cal;
import java.sql.*;
public class PooledConnection {
// Real JDBC Connection
private Connection connection = null;
// boolean flag used to determine if connection is in use
private boolean inuse = false;

I am using Sun JDK Version 1.3.0_02" and Apache/Tomcat 4.0. Both the calling and the called class are in the same directory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
tnx..
addiIs ConnectionPool in this "cal" package as well as PooledConnection? From the directory you are compiling from it appears that it is. If it is, then you are compiling it incorrectly. To compile ConnectionPool (and PooledConnection similarly), you must change the current directory to the one that contains cal and type
javac cal/ConnectionPool. -
Illustrator files cannot be opened: Could not read the file because an error has occurred.
I cannot open some files from Illustrator which contain PNG files placed. When I try to open the file, I get a message saying: "this png contains addtional data for Adobe fireworks, which will be discarded upon save." When I press "ok" I get the same screen again. When I press "cancel" I get: "coulld not read the file because an error has occured". I am currently working on a Mac Mavericks. Using Illustrator cc and Fireworks CS6.
Eliana,
If you have some file corruption, one thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
