If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

The other day my iMesasges stopped working so I plugged my phone into my laptop (windows) to update through iTunes. I tried to update it, but when the update was almost done an error message popped up. Now the phone will only turn on with the plug into itunes picture on the screen. iTunes will not recognize the phone -- I turned my laptop off multiple times. I've done every one of these steps multiple times http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275 and nothing has worked. What can I do?
Hello Saphira0823,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen you're seeing on your iPhone lets us know that it's in recovery mode. Now since the iPhone isn't appearing in iTunes on your computer, we need to follow one of the articles below, depending on the type of computer you have.

I realize that websites now have a whole lot of extraneous stuff running, but this is getting ridiculous. This is a powerful pc with a fresh install of windows 7. These damn "stop script" messages are ruining my browsing experience. It gives me two choices, continue or stop, but neither works. I can't get rid of the error message and I can't close firefox. I can't do anything except call up the task manager and end the program. The last time, even after that, the damn website was still playing in the background after firefox had closed, and I had to force a restart on the computer.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

After I downloaded and installed the latest version of Firefox, I started getting these error messages every so often when I launched the browser. These messages will usually pop up every third time or so I open the browser and pop up on every page, sometimes multiple times, and I have to clear them away before I can do anything on the page. The message usually reads "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function". Is there any thing we can do to fix this?
Please see solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
for "McAfee Site Advisor".
(Windows): For best results you should uninstall '''McAfee Site Advisor''' from Control Panel > add/change programs (Programs and Features). Reboot the system. Then Reinstall from http://www.siteadvisor.com/ and reboot the system. When installing refuse other suggested (crapware) applications.

I JUST GOT MY NEW 3G 8GB RED IPOD NANO THIS MORNING AND AS SOON AS I PLUGGED IT IN, IT WONT SYNC. THE FIRST TIME I PLUGGED IT IN IT AUTOMATICALLY STARTED SYNCING MY MUSIC BUT I STOPPED IT BECUASE I WANTED TO MANUALLY PICK MY SONGS.
NOW EVERYTIME I HOOK THE IPOD UP AND TRY TO SYNC SONGS, VIDEOS, OR PHOTOS THE LIST OF EVENTS HAPPEN..
-PLUG IN IPOD AND WAIT FOR IT TO COME UP

I have no idea what to do, please help me.*MESSAGE POPS UP AND SAYS "SONGS ON THE IPOD CANNOT BE SYNCED BECAUSE ALL OF THE PLAYLISTS SELECTED FOR SYNCING NO LONGER EXIST*
You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection. -

How do I turn off the sound when an error message pops up?
There is an anoying sound when an error message pops up in FF. I looked in the preferences but there doesn't seem to be an option to disable it.
https://www.liberiangeek.net/2013/07/how-to-change-or-disable-the-alert-sound-in-ubuntu/
Settings may have changed in a couple years in Ubuntu but this gives an idea of where to look.
Firefox itself does not have such sound notifications.
''#367259 [[#answer-715899|said]]''
<blockquote>
maybe try to disable error sound in Windows/OS Sound preferences
not sure if FF has its setting regarding error sounds

This is on Linux and not Windows but you are on right track. -
certain events in iPhoto will not sync to my iPad. No Error messages comes up and the photos themselves are ok. its like my ipad doesn't see them. Cause i can get some photos on there just not all. Photos are from the same camera and should all be in the same format.
What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
