  • An error occurred when backing up this iPhone (-43).

    An error occurred when backing up this iPhone (-43). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone?  Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this phone. Not risking going further till Apple explains why the bug and what if means?

    Hey!!
    After many failed attempts this is what worked for me:
    Step 1. Right click on your phone in the left hand side bar and select Back Up
    Step 2. Restore your phone and use the option where you restore and update
    Step 3. When its done it will ask you to use the back up you previously completed
    Hopefully this works for you!!!

  • I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

    I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

    Is this problem only occurring with the project you copied from an external drive, or with any FCP project?
    For example, if you were to create a new project, do you still have this problem?
    In FCP, if you go to the menu FInal Cut Pro > System Settings and look at the Scratch Disks Tab, is it set where you expect it to be? Have you tried switching the scratch disk to a different disk?

  • I'm trying to export a pages document to word, on a mac and keep getting "unknown error occurred" anyone else seen this

    Have created a document in Pages and am trying to export to Word, when I do this I get the message "an unknown error occurred" anyone got a solution to this?

    This is an old thread, so you have probably given up, but the problem is relatively easily solved.  The issue is apparently bad or corrup, or missing fonts. 
    You can try to chase that down, but it is faster to simply try deleting half the document and exporting again.  If that works, restore the deltion and delete half of that section. Keep doing this systematically until you have located the part of the document causing the problem.  Often it is something pasted in from another document. 
    You can then export most of the document and then copy and paste the remaining bits over into Word.
    This works with Keynote, too, where often the issue is just one slide.
    Good luck!

  • IOS5 UPGRADE HELP! An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (-50). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone?

    I've been trying to upgrade to iOS5 for the past half day. I keep getting:
    "An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (-50). Would you like to continue to update this iPhone? 
    Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone."
    I think I have been on every forum the Internet has. This means:
    -Yes, I have tried restarting my computer
    -Yes, I have tried using a different USB port
    -Yes, I have tried doing the whole DFU mode thing
    -Yes, I have tried freeing up some drive space from both computer & iPhone
    -Yes, I have tried removing MobileSync folder from AppData
    -Yes, I have tried Airplane mode and Bluetooth Off
    -and Yes, I think I have waited long enough....!
    Please help.. I'm hopeless. lol.. and no i dont want to lose all content on my iphone

    This is the correct steps to solve this problem:
    1. Cancel the update (with the backing up error, of course)
    2. Do a manual backup
    3. Do a manual restore (your password to unlock your backup file is your AppleID password, not your IPhone keypad password)
    4. Now Update your phone. This time the backup should work.
    5. After it is updated, it will automatically restore, if you choose to restore not to set up a new phone.
    And yes, copy all your photos manually. Your backup probabally won't include photos.
    If this still doesn't work, try to stop your anti-virus software.

  • An error occured when attempting to change modules .. how to solve this ? Thanks

    Hi there,
    I installed Lightroom 5, then it asked it for some directory to create some catalogue. I changed was was given default to me to some other directory. It was a mistake.
    Then a message saying "An error occured when attempting to change modules" always popped out when I started Lightroom 5.
    In fact I uninstalled and reinstall Lightroom 5 again. Ang it gave me the same message. I am not sure why when I reinstall it, it no longer asked me the directory I wanted to create the catalogue but instead gave me the error message straight away...
    Any ideas on how to solve this is greatly appreciated as I desperately need to use this Lightroom 5 ...
    Thanks

    Did you install from CC desktop or from an Adobe download link?
    When you click on the install button under the Apps tab within the Creative Cloud desktop app, no serial number is required.
    Hi 99Jon,
    I installed from CC desktop and you are correct. You are correct, when I install the CC, there is no serial number required or given to me.
    Let me explain again the sequence of my problem.
    1) I installed the CC desktop after I chose to pay monthly.
    2) The installation was perfectly fine, NO asking of serial number
    3) I install the Lightroom 5.7.1 without problem and NO asking of serial number too.
    4) I run Lightroom 5.7.1 for the first time and it asked me to select a folder for catalogue I didn't select the default directory that it suggested. And this caused problem because it then gives a message saying "An error occurred when attempting to change modules"
    5) so I delete the whole Lightroom 5.7.1 and reinstall from CC Apps.
    6) The problem still persists and I continue to have the "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" message
    7) So I deleted the Lightroom 5.7.1  and reinstall. Problem still persist.
    8) So, I did a software update as advised by the link you gave me (ie Solution 1). Interestingly, the update Version is 5.7.1 which I have.
    9) After the update installation, I no longer receive "An error occured when attempting to change modules" the message but instead tnow I receive message asking me for serial number. So much problem now ...
    Note:
    If you see this link, something is wrong bcos when you clicked the settings wheel, you'll see that Managed Application - Uninstall Unavailable"

    So now my problem has changed form one where the error message popped up to one which now asked me for serial number ...
    Any ideas ?

    Our CEO at our hospital has the exact same problem with this phone, we have been workign with alltel on the problem for quite some time now, and cant seem to find a solution. His can receive emails with no problems but gets an error code 530 when tryng to send an email. But he only gets the error when he is outside of the alltel network. If hes in our hometown then everything works great. Needless to say hes been getting quite irritated with the problem and needs it fixed ASAP. If anyone every figures out a soluting to this problem please let me know.
