The message stays on the iPad screen no matter how many times I push the OK-button.
Any ideas how to get through this problem?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use your device again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and make a backup. The device will be backed up when it's plugged to the charger and connected to your network -

I tried to update to the new ios 7 today. I have no phone now. I got the message "could not complete request. The network connection was reset. What is happening. What do I do now?
Apple's servers are probably very busy. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.

Time Machine on a NAS - Avoiding "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups....."
I use Time Machine to wirelessly backup my MBA to a Buffalo NAS. It will work fine for weeks or months, then I will see the dreaded "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.” error. Of course this means I lose all my backups.
I have researched this pretty thoroughly and I know that using TM with a NAS has some risk. But I am hoping to not have to resort to dragging out a USB drive everytime (daily) I want to do a backup.
Can anyone share sucess stories of how they make TM work reliably with a NAS? Is it a Buffalo problem and a different NAS works better? I know the majority of TM users have no problems. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.I have a Synology 1511+ and had the same issue. Except my backups would only corrupt every month or two.
After lots of searching I found the issue is backing up over wifi to the NAS. I found the solution to this was to install a small app: Time Machine Scheduler (free).
It can be found here: http://www.klieme.com/TimeMachineScheduler.html
All you need to do is install, and set backups only to run over Ethernet. Works great for me as I use my mac 50/50 between my workstation and wirelessly around the house. Haven't had an issue since. -
I keep getting this error on my new Macbook Pro w/ Retina.
"Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you."
Connected to a wifi network and QNAP storage system. There are 5 computers on this network, and each backs up just fine. The issue is isolated to this one machine.
This error shows up every week or so.A third-party NAS is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know this isn't the answer you want. I know Time Machine accepts the NAS as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
Apple has published a specification for network devices that work with Time Machine. None of the third-party NAS vendors, as far as I know, meets that specification. They all use the incomplete, obsolete Netatalk implementation of Apple Filing Protocol.
If you want network backup, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
Otherwise, don't use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to back up, though none of them is anywhere near as efficient or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.
If you're determined to keep using the NAS with Time Machine, your only recourse for any problems that result is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple, or you, or anyone but itself.) -
Why do I get this message every time I travel with my laptop and then return home: "To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you."
I get this on my new MacBook Air, but never got it on my old MacBook Pro.

Why do I get "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups on..."
Any idea why I keep getting 'Time Machine completed a verification of your backups on “MyBookLiveDuo”. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you." ? It's just started happening. Running 10.8.2 on two laptops. One is fine backing up the other keeps showing this error. Both versions of the OS are identical. Same wireless network, same Raid back-up, same tiem zone etc. Any ideas? It takes hours to wipe and start again, and really defeats the idea of Time Machine.
The disk images on which the backup data is stored are being corrupted. Backing up to a network device other than a Time Capsule or a Mac is unsupported by Apple. You're completely dependent on the device vendor if something goes wrong, and the vendor will blame Apple.
I suggest you start backing up to a locally-attached external hard drive, preferably more than one, or to a supported network device. If you don't want to do that, use a backup tool other than Time Machine. -

"....To Improve Reliability, Time Machine Must Create a New Backup for You"
I bought the new Apple 2 TB Time Capsule thinking it would be a great way to get a powerful wireless router and handle file backup for both me and my wife's iMacs. She is running an up-to-date version of Snow Leopard and I am on the most recent update of Mountain Lion. The Time Capsule was installed and running by the first of August and we had no problems until this monday (7 weeks later) when I got the message that "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability Time Machinge must create a new backup" My wife's back up was still ok but I had to go though the 5-6 hour process of re-copying all my files(using an ethernet connection) to the device. All went smoothly for a few days until I got the same message again about creating a new backup. Also my wife cannot enter her time machine files even though the computer is still being backed up. We have a stable internet service and both computers recieve a strong signal from the router. Is it possible that the Time Capsule Drive is defective? Is there any sort of maintenance such as zpping the PRAM that would help? This is really frustrating as it looks like the timemachine backup is totally unreliable and not worth fooling with. Is there any way to use the storage capability of the time capsule without going through time machine?
Thanks,
Reid McCallisterhi
rest assured you are not alone. i have the same problem and i hate it with a passion. in fact, i am the victim of this message as of 20 minutes ago and doing a full backup as I am typing this. I am so overly ****** that I actually posted here and will be calling or emailing apple next because I cannot take this anymore. the problem lies in time machine and unfortunately, there is no fix for that. time machine is the best idea of apple with the worst implementation ever. you have no obligation to use time capsule to benefit from time machine as this would not be legal anyway. i will give you 2 temporary solutions and let you decide which one works best for you:
1) open time machine preferences and turn automatic backups off. create a new full backup from scratch and only backup manually whenever you remember, preferably every day. the automation process is the problem that lies within time machine. also make sure that your system does not go to standy or sleep whatever that may be called. Power nap, despite all claims, is not compatible with time machine. install CAFFEINE, an app that keeps your mac awake and prevents from going to sleep while back up is in progress. use it like this and pray it will all go fine for a long time. you may wish to duplicate the first full backup to save time in case this should happen again so you have a base to start on
2) install CCC (carbon copy cleaner) I have not used it myself yet, but probably will be installing it after finishing this post. it is claimed to be better, yet it is yet to be seen by me personally.
unless time machine can be trained without any addons to use a specific wifi only for backup, these issues will persist. -
Time Machine must create a new backup for you
getting this error message Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you. don't want to lose the history off my backups how can i fix this without losing any backups.
You really can't.
That's not one of Apple's clearest messages; it means your backups are damaged beyond OSX's ability to repair them. See #C13 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details. -

For one thing you forgot to mention the version of Photoshop you use.
Did you place the image as a Smart Object? Liquify got Smart-capabilities with Photoshop CC. -
Can't adjust the default time scale when creating a new appointment in Outlook 2010
Good Afternoon, I have found a question on these community boards that propose an issue that I am currently experiencing. The answer; however, was not the solution for me. I used the same name as the original post and will add the original text as it is
exactly what I am experiencing.
"When creating a new appointment in the month view Outlook 2010, the default time scale or duration is 2 days. I tried resetting the view, adjusting the time scale, and creating a new profile. It only seems to happen when creating the appointment
in the Month view. ??? Day and week view work fine and appointment can be created w the standard 30 minute time scale. But the time scale in the month view although says 30 mins, it creates appointments in 2 day durations."
This is exactly what happens to the user I am assisting. When in "month view" double clicking the day will bring up a new appointment with the times within the same day. If you click the "new appointment" button in the ribbon it
sets the end time to the following day. This only happens in the month view every other view works as it normally should. I have tried it several times being sure multiple days are not selected. It still gives me an end time for the following day. I have reset
the view, changed the time scale but nothing seems to bring it back to the default same day appointment. Any ideas?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.It is a default in Outlook 2010 in month view. The "time scale" selection is greyed out. Very frustrating. Everytime I select "New Appointment," a duration of 1 day is automatically selected; midnight to midnight. I end up doing
most appointments twice because I forget to change to end date back to the day of the appointment. "New meeting Request" works fine. So does "New All Day Event" when you deselect "All Day Event." I can't see how this default behavior
provides optimal results under any circumstances. Very frustrating. -
I responded to install new software message and was asked to restart--I did that--went to lunch and when I returned my screen showed the message that said, "unable to complete update for unknown reason" or something to that regard-and asked me to restart. I tried to restart and now see the apple but the time scroll is in an unending loop and my computer will not boot.-I recently installed snow leopard in order to be able to sync my mobile me accounts--since then my computer runs hot. Not sure if that has anything to do with current issue.
You will need to reinstall Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the appropriate Combo Updater to return to the Snow Leopard version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/. -
I just wanted to collect all my messages since oct 16th. under one roof. I have spent too much time with this problem already, will NOT edit this the way I should. It REALLY bugs me that Apple doesn't acknowlege it - would make life easier knowing that they are working on it.
I have the same problem. It all started around Oct. 13th when my old 13'' MacBook was doing it's last backup just before I got my current 15'' Pro. It was running up-to-date SnowLeopard, and have 1TB TimeCapsule (1st generation).
Now I have had this same problem every two weeks running Lion in my new MBP.
This does not seems to be just Lion-related, or because of lack of space - my HD was 320MB, now 750MB (350MB used).
TM will erase the disk in this particular case, and you will loose all the data history!!!
You should make a backup with CCC or similar on a separate disk to be on safe side.
I think that there will be a fix for this problem, we are not the only ones complaning.
After more research I ended up with two options: either the TC HD is at the end of it's 4 year life OR Lion TM settings > options > lock documents 2 weeks after last edit is somehow behind this problem. I unchecked this setting and will see after two weeks...
Meanwhile, fingers crossed.
SAME BIG PROBLEMS HERE TOO. JUST GOT A NEW 2TB TC bacause thought that my 4y. old 1st gen is kaput - but the problem returned just after 5 days of usage. And the newest airport firmware update did not help the situation at all...
Disk Utility verified TC disk OK, new MBP running Lion disk ok as well.
Tried about everything with my old MB with SnowLeopard.
I mean I have tried really everything since the problem occurred mid-september - new MBP, new OSX (Lion this time), new TC THIS WEEK, started fresh from the very beginning but the problem still exists.
I have no other software in my mac but from Mac App Store + Nikon + Adobe.
A virus? Others have it too?
Studied all day today and tried many options including ethernet / wireless settings (FYI: found out also that in Airport Utility alt-key brings the missin options in setting up wireless- and radio modes - confusing since no mention of this in the manuals).
There is a firmware/OSX - problem and it bugs me that Apple doesn't acknowlege it - would make life easier knowing that they are working on it.
Too many people are having these problems, and also I lost a couple of days of work while solving this on my own.
Here we are solving this mess as well. My 1st gen TimeCapsule began to work odd two months ago, needed to do fresh backups every week or two. Finally got a new one this week. Seemed to work fine first, but today a complete stop with my network. Problems occured not immediately after the firmware 7.6 update though. Seems that my iWork backups are a bit of a mess too since Pages keeps showing an unwanted photo in a written article after deleteting it from there...
I have my new TC 2TB as a base station downstairs + express extending to upstairs study + express joining for AirTunes (+ the old TC to play with). Lion and Airport Utility up-to-date.
Got also new MBP two months ago.
First thought that Lion is the problem, then that old TC is the problem - seems like APPLE is the problem...
BTW - DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO HIT ALT-KEY TO SEE ALL OPTIONS FOR WIRELESS MODE AND RADIO MODE??? AND THAT SOMETIMES IPHONE AIRPORT UTILITY SHOWS THOSE OPTIONS, SOMETIMES NOT... sort of hard to figure that out without a mention in the instructions...Unfortunately, the message pretty much says it all.
What it does not tell you is that your Time Machine backups are corrupted and Time Machine cannot repair them, so it wants to delete your entire backup file and start with a new one.
I'm afraid that AppleCare will tell you the same thing, but it's worth checking with them to see if there are any new developments in this regard for this puzzling issue which affects a small percentage of users.
Please post back on your findings if you pickup some additional useful information when you speak to Apple.
