Had a recent crash on my macbook, was previously using OS 10.6 I think. Restored from recent Time Machine backup and updated to OS 10.8.2 and now I cannot open Logic Pro 9. I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?

Hi
To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario

My Verizon Cloud says "Content is pending for backup" and (Update pending), but it's been doing this for over a day now. The number of photos hasn't changed and I have 26GB of space. What's going on?

Tinigal2112,
We want to make sure your photos are backed up successfully! Have you tried to stop the process and start it again? You can stop the process by stopping the Cloud and backup process completely in Settings>Applications>All>Verizon Cloud>Force stop. One it has stopped make sure you care connected to WiFi and try the backup again.

IPad Backups and Enterprise PC Management

In my company, we image Windows PCs as a deployment strategy. In some cases when troubleshooting a problem, it is easier and quicker for our end users to simply reimage the PC rather then spending hours troubleshooting the problem.
As we deploy iPads to the enterprise, we will need to have iTunes added to our image. If someone inserts their iPad into their PC running iTunes, iTunes will backup the unit problem. If say the following week, we need to replace their PC (either with a new one or we reimage their PC), the next time they plug in their iPad into the PC, I believe it will wipe the unit, because when the unit was activated, it was "married" to the original PC it was activated on. Is there a way to prevent iPads from wiping themselves when a new PC is provisioned for an employee or their existing PC is reimaged? If not, am I able to simply copy the iTunes folder from the original PC to the new one to keep the "marriage"?

If you update iTunes to the latest version on the machine you plan to retire or wipe, then copy the itunes folder from the user profile in Windows or Mac. On the new machine or freshly imaged machine, update the iTunes so that it's running the same version. Just copy that itunes folder back to the proper location under the users profile and all should be ok. the kay here is to be sure to run the same version on the old and new, hence why I suggest updating prior to moving so that you have a one to one version. going from an old to a newer version will cause issues. Likely due to the database iTunes uses being a different version.

Can I do backups and updates without syncing with itunes?

I want to use other methods to put content on my IPAD and just use Itunes for backing up my IPAD and installing updates. I also want to be able to manually put content on my IPAD using drag and drop within Itunes. If I select the checkbox in preferences to prevent automatic syncing will this do what I want?
Thanks.

Yes, if you check the box to prevent automatic syncing, you will have the control to do what you want to do. I have always chosen the option to not automatically open iTunes or to sync when I connect any of my "iDevices". I check the music, apps, photos, books, etc, that I want to sync -always have and always will. I drag and drop as well at times. I want the control and that is how you get it, by checking that box in the preferences.

9 of 12 iPads Sync and Update

I have a set of 12 iPads (all linked to one Apple ID) in my elementary classroom and am becoming frustrated by the fact that 3 of them are not able to download new apps or update old ones. I recently updated them to iOS7 but that hasn't made a difference. I have tried a different network connection, connecting them to iTunes, and resetting them completely but that hasn't helped. When I go into the App Store, I can see all my "Purchased" Apps but when I click the download button, it looks like its going to start downloading but then stops and says "Unable to Download Item". Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Update: I've managed to get around the sync problems, have synced add book and iCal. Haven't tried notes and tasks, am hopeful it will work. However, updates still don't work! It goes to download 600+ files, and then the same error message still appears. Can anyone help? Hopefully someone from RIM!
As well, when un-installing BDTM-Mac, does anyone else get the same problem of getting a dialog box that says that uninstall was unsuccessful and that certain components could not be deleted?
As a sidenote, just to give your (emilianne) idea a shot, I re-installed missing sync and pocket mac, then used app zapper. Seems like I'm more thorough than the app. =\ Now I still get that dialog box from BDTM-Mac installer that says prior versions of syncing software were found. Geez. Previously when I did a manual wipe, didn't have that problem. Oh well... not a BB issue so not important.

Automated backup and update of configs after pacman upgrade

First, after upgrade do
#updatedb && locate .pacnew >newconfigs
Then, check entries - read caution below
Important - remove any entries (e.g., password files) that need careful, individual updating.
But, for bulk updating these scripts are handy.
(p.s., thanks for the replies)
#vi newconfigs
Make backup directory
#mkdir -p /home/original_configs
To backup original(s)
#for i in $(cat newconfigs |sed 's/.pacnew//'); do cp -v $i /home/original_configs/ ; done
To overwrite original(s) with <file>.pacnew
#for i in $(cat newconfigs); do cp -v $i `echo $i |sed 's/.pacnew//'`; done
You may wish to keep your .pacnew files in their
(1)respective directories, (2)move them all to a central directory, or, (3)delete them
(1) do nothing
(2) choose or make directory to back them up to, say, mkdir -p /home/pacnew_configs,
then issue this command
#for i in $(cat newconfigs); do mv -v $i /home/pacnew_configs/; done
(3) #for i in $(cat newconfigs); do rm -v $i; done

I wouldn't like any kind of automated procedure messing around with my system's configuration files. My preferred way of dealing with .pacnew files is using `diff /foo/bar{,.pacnew}' to get an overview of the changes and then either 1) adding the changes to the original config and deleting the .pacnew file, or 2) introducing my modifications to the .pacnew file and moving it to the location of the original file. I'm quite sure there is a better way to handle configuration changes, but the amount of .pacnew files I've dealt with so far is very limited to warrant investigating other ways.
Your instructions are way too dangerous, in my opinion. Imagine the disaster if you happened to overwrite your /etc/{passwd,shadow} with the one that comes with an update. All user accounts and their passwords would be lost.

Path of iPad backup and module name

When I sync my iPad it makes a backup. Can someone tell me where ( what path )
on a Windows 7 machine this backukp goes to ? Also does the backup overwrite any previous backup or create it's own dated version.
Is it possible to manually move these backups to an alternate location ?

Is it possible to manually move these backups to an alternate location ?
Yes, but iTunes won't "see" them in the alternate location. So deleting *or moving* the backup file ends up being recommended as a troubleshooting technique if the existing backup (in the normal is damaged, as per:
[iTunes: "Backup could not be saved on the computer" alert message|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2529]
So, if you wanted to have multiple different backups, you could perhaps drag a copy of the file to a folder called (say) "DateX", another to "DateY" and so on. That way, if you wanted to restore to DateX you could drag the DateX backup to the standard location, if you wanted to restore to DateY you could drag the DateY backup to the standard location, and so on.

HT201263 i bought a second hand ipad 2 and updated to iso7 and it came up psscode lock , i havent connected it to itunes but have been using the itunes account witch i use on my iphone4 how do i unlock it ?

does any one know how i unlock passcode ?

You can remove the passcode lock (Recovery Mode) but you will not be able to bypass the Activation Lock.
The previous owner's Apple ID and Password is needed to activate the iPad.

If I connect one or two ext HD to my MacBook, does TiCaps backup and update the whole system?

I would like to organize my new MacBookPro in this way: an external HD for my photographs, another for my music and documents on internal HD.
I am going to buy Time Capsule to back up the whole system. Might it work? Thank you all.

In addition to Kappy's comments, you will need to insure that the hard drive is formatted correctly to work with Time Machine and the Time Capsule.
That would be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Unless the hard drive is specifically sold for use with Macs, it will probably be pre- formatted for Windows, so you will need to use Disk Utility to format the drive before you use it.
Disk Utility is located as follows: Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility

Error -37 while backing up and updating

I was trying to backup and update my iPad from 4.3.3 to 5.1, and I get this message: "An error occurred while backing up this iPad (-37). Would you like to continue to update this iPad? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad." Can someone help?

There are too many variables involved.
Solving the problem could be as simple as the suggestion by "spencery" above, i.e. turn off temporarily all security software like anti-virus, firewalls, etc.
If you do not feel comfortable with all of this, it might indeed be better that someone assists you.

Can I transfer all my old iPad apps and data to a new ipad3?

I am thinking of buying the new iPad 3, will I be able to transfer everything from my current iPad?

Sure you can.
Continue to backup the old iPad until you get the new one. You should back up and sync with iTunes. Syncing with iTunes will transfer all of your purchased content into iTunes on your computer.
When the new iPad arrives - you can plug in into your computer, launch iTunes and iTunes will ask if you want to restore from the iPad backup or set up as new. Restore from the iPad backup and then sync with iTunes to move all of your iTunes content onto the new iPad.
If you want to wipe the old iPad in order to sell it - go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings.
If you want to restore from an iCloud backup - read this.

Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!
