Dear All,
To my recent notice, my iPhone 4S has not been backed up from the time I bought it (4 months ago). After which everytime I go into the <Back-up now> option, it says that 'Last backup could not be completed'. Any suggestions on solving this please
Not with they limited information you have provided so far. Are you backing up to iCloud or to iTunes on your computer? Do you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer? Was it installed from a Windows or Mac user ID that had administrator privileges? Does the phone show up in iTunes? What is your operating system? Are you using a USB port directly on your computer (not a hub)? If it's a USB port on the computer and you have a desktop or tower computer is the port on the back, not on the front?

    My iPhone is in recovery mode and I do not see it on my laptop and on iTunes. Moreover, I can not turn it off and when I try it comes up all the time in the recovery mode.

    Hey Yan Heng,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iOS device is not recognized in iTunes for Windows, while in recovery mode. The following resource may help to resolve your issue. While you should run through each step, the specific information related to your symptom is outlined in Step 5 (If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode).

  • Rainbow spinning ball comes on all the time

    I work in photoshop, on pretty huge files. about 4 GB, the maximum it can take. I have 8 gb of ram (although I know CS2 can only take advantage of 3 something GB). The thing is that my computer is getting slower and slower, and I get that spinning rainbow ball ALL THE TIME. It's driving me crazy. It's come to a point now that when I start up the computer, photoshop won't even open a file. It will just spin that rainbow ball and when I go "force quit" it says "photoshop (not responding)" I restart a couple of times and then finally I get it to work.
    What's a good FREE utility to download that can check for file errors? I haven't run any sort of check on my computer ever.
    G5 dual 2.5ghz   Mac OS X (10.4)   dual display

    The only free utility to check for disk problems is Disk Utility which is included with your Mac. There is a good utility called YASU which can be used to rotate log files and clean caches. I have never used it to clear caches as that is a troubleshooting step and not needed for routine maintenance. You might want to read about basic maintenance here:

  • IPhone 4 shuts down on its own all the time. Sometimes restarts without ability to make calls, receive emails, and the wrong time.  Only a restore fixes it.  What can I try?

    So my iPhone had a broken screen and back for a while, which may have something to do with this.  I mean like missing peices.  I realize this leads to corrosion and I may have a broken iPhone but this is a really strange problem.  It's always shutting off on its own, sometimes in my pocket while locked and sometimes randomly while in use.   For example the other day this started happening everytime I started safari.  This happens all the time, I usually just restart it and it works for a while.   Sometimes after shutting off a few times in a row, after restarting it will show the wrong time, screws up phone calls and says that it cannot locate the gmail server, or something to that extent (won't load emails).   The phone calls are weird, I can't receive any.   Any calls that are made from the phone, go through on the other side and ring for them, but won't ring or make a connection on my side, also I can't end the call when this happens, it responds to me pressing end by fading the screen to that graytone color that it does before ending usually but stays on that screen whenever you go back to it, only disappearing after reseting.  Texts work, not in iMessage, and internet seems to work.   The only thing that fixes this condition is a restore. The iphone has been turning itself off over the last 3 months and its been getting progressively worse.  Recently its been pretty bad, and then the phone started to do all that weird stuff I've been talking about.  That started about 3 weeks ago and has happened 4 times, the last two times relatively close together.   This is really annoying and I can't afford to replace it.   Do I have to live with it?   What can I try?  Should I maybe replace the battery?  I took the panel off to look at it and the plastic around it was pitted possibly from being really hot.

    Please don't respond with useless comments.  I've already addressed the fact that my screen was broken a few months ago.  My phone may or may not be broken beyond repair either way, as I said before I can't afford a new phone.  It's a strange problem because from what I can tell no one else has posted the same problem anywhere I can find.  Don't be a dickhole.

  • My iPhone 5 restarts after 2-5 minutes all the time!

    My iPhone 5 restarts all the time.
    Worked fine for about a week, but after pressing use for development in Xcode, it started happening.
    Restore to new iPhone did not help.
    Anyone with the same problem?
    - Christian

    I have the same problem man.
    Iphone 5 16g black
    Keeps restarting itself every 2-5 minutes.
    I restored it, did not back it up and start as new phone. Problem still occuring.
    The typing on the phone seems too glichy as well as scrolling on the screen
    Right before the iPhone restarts itself, wavy lines appear and shuts off and reboots.
    Battery fully charged, however the percentage is off. (when charging the % gets stuck at random, not giving accurate reading.)
    As I typed this my iPhone 5 has restarted itself 3 times.
    Apple, please help us out fast. I dont want to drive to the apple store thats 50 miles away either. Thanks!

  • Is it better to turn off iPhone at night, or just leave on all the time?

    This has often been asked of computers as well - Is it generally thought better to turn the iphone off at night and charge it (if needed) or just let it stay in standby mode all the time and plug in to charge when needed. In other words, just leave it on all the time and sleep when not in use (like my MBP), or on/off, on/off, on/off, etc...

    I'd leave it on. I would however shut down and restart the phone once a week or so. Not that it will do anything (i don't think)... but it may keep your phone healthy if there are any bugs in memory.

  • IPhone panel comies up all the time in iTunes

    I often leave my iphone docked and iTunes open but minimized during the work day. itunes generally plays music most of the day.
    Most of the time the iphone screen is dark and itunes is displaying the currentl playlist. Every few minutes, however, the iphone will chime, show the battery charge graphic and then the itunes window will maximize and switch over to the iphone panel.
    This gets pretty annoying, both because it's distracting and because when itunes is displaying the iphone panel, the aluminum keyboard's itunes keys don't work. You have to bring itunes forward and command-L to jump back to the playlist panel before the keyboard works again.
    Is anyone else seeing this?

    You cannot.

  • When online and asked to fill in phone no., the iPhone presents a numeric keyboard that does not have space, hyphen or parenthesis keys. How to get a full keyboard to come up all the time?

    When asked to input my phone number on some online forms (Yelp, donation), a numeric keyboard comes up on my phone. This keyboard has 0-9 characters, + # symbols, and the words "pause" and "wait.". There is no option for parentheses for area code, no hyphen option, no period option and no space option. As a result, numbers run in a single row. I then get the message "Invalid phone number" or "Invalid Format.". The sites then won't allow me to continue. This numeric keyboard is useless. How do I get either a numeric keyboard with the needed features or, better yet, get the alpha-numeric pad we usually see?  This seems so weird on Apple's part.

    Does anyone know anything about onsite specifics?
    I'm wondering where the onsite warranty can be in effect.  Like, can it be used in ANY city in the US?  Can it be used only in metrololitan areas?  What is a metro area in Lenovo's eyes?
    Does anyone know where I can get better and accurate info on the onsite warranty?  Like a coverage map would be very helpful.  Because why should I spend the money on it, if I can't access it?
    Looking forward to more info...thanks.
    There is no coverage map as such.
    I live in what is considered a rural area and had techs driving 60-70 miles one way to get to me, never an issue.
    Obviously, YMMV.
    In my not-so-modest experience, both onsite and accidental damage upgrades are worth every penny if one intends to keep their ThinkPads for an extended period of time.
    Good luck.

  • Iphone 3g randomly goes into recovery mode all the time?

    I have an Iphone 3g version 4.3.5 (8L1). It works fine and i've never dropped it or anything like that. But the first time the problem happened i had just got done sending a text, pushed the lock button, and put it in my pocket. Then a few minutes later i pulled it out to check it and it wouldnt turn on. I held the lock button down and the connect to itunes icon came up, but nothing else. No emergency call option or anything. it wouldnt go away. i connected to itunes and it said it was in recovery mode. I tried to restore it but it came up with an error. i left it and tried again later. i restored but some things were erased. then it worked fine again. but later that night it did it again. so i just plugged it into the charger. in the morning i tried turning it back on again and it turned on without the connect to itunes icon. worked fine all day. but it does this every now and then. when i plug it in it goes back to normal after 10-20 mins. its annoying tho and if im not home my fone is stuck like that until i get back. why does it keep randomly going into recovery mode?

    1.  The latest iOS version available for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1, not 4.3.5.  Do you actually have an iP3GS or was your iP3G hacked to install 4.3.5?

    2.  "I tried to restore it but it came up with an error."  What EXACT error?
    3.  "i restored but some things were erased"  What "things"?  Did you get an error again.  Were you restoring as new or using a backup?
    4.  Did you ever restore the phone as NEW without using a backup?

  • Logged out from Facebook all the time on Lion's Safari 5.1.2

    I constantly get logged out of my account on Facebook while using Safari.
    What do I do to prevent this? (I have, of course, checked the "remember me" option.)

    Sometimes clearing your login data can fix the logout problem. I've helped Facebook users with this issue in the past and that helped.
    Ah Ok thanks
    Login to Facebook. Click the black arrow that faces down to the right of Home top right corner of the Facebook window then click Help.
    And try deleting Facebook cookies. Go to Safari > Preferences - Privacy.
    Click Details. Type  facebook  in the search field then click Remove All > Done
    Nothing in the Help section of Facebook... obviously they don't want to admit this. Same like Apple, no help files on this problem either.
    I tried the cookie deletion, still logs me out

  • My iphone doesn't charger doesn't work all the time

    I've had the iPhone 4s since about 3 months after it came out. Just recently, the charger doesn't always work when I go to charge my phone. Sometimes I blow on it and sometimes I have to plug and unplug it a few times before it starts to charge. Is this problem with my phone or is it the charger itself? Someone help! ... also, this has happened with my computer charger as well and I know it's not the outlet's I use because I've been to multiple locations where this problem has occured :/

    I had a similar problem, and other answers allude to the kind of solution that works. What was rather annoying for me was that, by deleting a few apps, the iTunes display suggested I should have plenty of room. Furthermore, the error message included the bizarre phrase "the required space is 1.26MB but only 126MB is available": yes, more space available than needed by a factor of 100!
    What seems to be the case is that the sync does not necessarily remove everything you specify for removal before copying things on that you want  on the device. Therefore, even if you have enough space for what you intend to have on your device at the end of the sync, it won't help if the space is insufficient to copy at least some things on in the first place. So I actually solved the problem by deleting one of the apps on the iPhone, which was an app I was going to remove anyway. In general (on iOS 8), go to Settings | General | Usage | Storage then choose something you are happy to be without.

  • Error #23 is comming up all the time on email application why?

    why is this error coming up in the email application on firefox. i have just done a security update and that did not fix it

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
