Itunes tells me there is an error when trying to back up my files

I am trying to update my iphone 4 to the new iOS 5 system. When it starts to back up my files, it stops after a few minutes and tells me there is an error, and if i continue i will lose everything. i always hit cancel because i don't want to lose my stuff currently on my iphone. what should i do? if i hit continue, can i sync everything again to my itunes library on my macbook? will i lose all of my contacts?

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

HT3231 My PC comes up with a message that says there was an error when trying to set up the Migration Assistant - but I don't know what!?!?

I am trying to use Migration Assistant but it tells me that there is an error when using it - but it doesn't tell me what and I only have teh option to quit!

I would recommend carefully reading Pondini's guide on using Migration Assitant, if you still have trouble you have 90 days of free telephone support from Apple via AppleCare. While they are more versed in OS X than MS Windows they may be able to help you. Pondini's guide is found by clicking Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips

Internal Server Error when trying to upload and manage files

The instructor was experiencing this difficulty on Tuesday 1/13, after the notice was closed. I just
went into their site again(1/14/09 2:48pm), launched iTunes U and received the same error after clicking on 'Upload And Manage Files' in their iTunes U page.
I was able to reproduce the same error on our iTunes U site.
https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/EditFiles/indiana.edu

I have only found two that work correctly. They were created the same way and permissions are the same. I don't know why one works over the other.

Getting error when trying to back up

I am getting the follow message when trying to back up. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Macintosh.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). What does this mean?

Itunes 10.5 crashes with no error when trying to play any music, video, or import/scan from the library folder on the compter with Windows 7 Pro.

Fresh install with all older itunes un-installed as well as other Apple software.
Now cannot get any songs, videos, or even scan library folder for songs to work on the computer.
itunes just simply crashes with no error comments.
This is itunes 10.5 on a Windows 7 Pro system.

Same here, though on XP. Have tried cleaning registry, reinstalling, deleting preferences. Created a new user with no library and I have the problem there, too, so it's not the library.
Is there no one to call about this??

Can see iTunes library, YouTube, movies etc but error when trying to load

Worked fine y'day- today I can see everything but when trying to access (play a downloaded show or song from iTunes library) I get an error message and to try later.
I rebooted iMac and unplugged Apple TV (2G) but getting the same message.
What gives? Just updated to iTunes version 10.2.1 btw.

I saw Peetza's thread- I get the same prompt ( "An error occurred loading this content") but unlike him (downloading a movie) i get this for everything I try to access using ATV2 (except Mobileme).

DS 4.1 SP02 : Error when trying to import XML/XSD-Files

Hello,
i want to import a lot of XML-files with Data Services. I have a XSD file with the XML schema. I've validated the schema against the XML files with XML spy, xmllint and the result is ok. Only Data Services will run on error when i run the job:
(14.1) 06-20-14 09:34:00 (E) (8948:10636) XML-240108: |Data flow DF_Load_easybank|Reader READ MESSAGE easybank_XML_Input OUTPUT(easybank_XML_Input1)

In Data Service Designer i get the following error, when i try to spy into the data source with the spy-glass:
XML parser failed: See previously displayed error message.
Can anybody help me ? Many thanks in advance.
Greeting Peter & George

Hi there
I'd be totally surprised if this were to work. This may sound strange from the standpoint that Captivate offers a XML import option. But I believe this option is intended for importing an XML file back into Captivate that was first exported OUT of this captivate project.
XML export creates an XML file in a specific format. I think the name is XLIFF and it's intended to facilitate localizing your project into assorted languages.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

I get an error when trying to open certain PDF files in Lion on Mac.

I am having trouble opening CERTAIN .PDF files on my MacBook Pro. I am running Lion. The file is attached to a Gmail message as a standard .PDF file.
This is my error:
"File "XX" cannot be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format Preview does not recognize."
I have also downloaded Adobe X reader to see if the compatibility issue is just with Preview. I get an error that the file is "damaged" and cannot be recovered. Meanwhile, the file downloads/opens just fine on Windows XP Office and iOS (on my iPad). So I am thinking that it must be some sort of compatibility issue with Lion.
So far, other .PDF files open on my MB Pro. I haven't tried all of my saved .PDF files, but I did try a couple.
Anybody have any suggestions? There seems to be an error with this particular file opening in Lion, but not with the same file opening on another operating system.

The issue mysteriously resolved itself. I shut down the computer, and the next day I booted back up and tried to open the same file, and everything was OK. Very bizarre, since I had opened it previously on this same MacBook. Anyway, anyone have any insight into what happened?

Error when trying SHOW=Y on dump file

Hi All,
Source: Oracle 10G on Windows 2003
Target: Oracle 11G r2 on Windows 2008 R2
I have a dump file created from the source as :
exp 'sys/password@production as sysdba' file=F:\Export\mmsprd.dmp full=yes log=F:\Export\mmsprd.logAfter doing:
imp 'sys/password@production as sysdba' file=F:\ORACLEDUMP\mmsprd.dmp log=F:\ORACLEDUMP\mmsprd_import.log full=y ignore=y commit=y buffer=60000000I realize that 1300+ views are missing for a certain schema - the import log file shows that it did import x number of views for that schema but doesn't have any entries for the missing ones.
So now i want to check if the mmsprd.dmp file i've created in the xport actually has those missing views.
So, on the target machine, i try:
imp sys/manager SHOW=Y file=mmsprd.DMPBut i get the following error:
Import: Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production on Mon May 27 22:45:28 2013

import done in WE8MSWIN1252 character set and UTF8 NCHAR character set
IMP-00031: Must specify FULL=Y or provide FROMUSER/TOUSER or TABLES arguments
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfullyAny ideas what's wrong? I just want to double-check if my export dump has the missing views and something went wrong during import OR if the export dump didn't have them to begin with.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You just need to say full=y and show=y in the same command line - this won't actually do a full import but it will tell oracle what out of the dumpfile you want to havein the file that show=y will create.

iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes

How do I prevent windows from shutting down ITUNES with a Data Protection Execution error when trying to sync with my Iphone 4S in a 32 bit windows environment?

I first was not able to install ITunes 10.5. Apple upgrade installer caused a data protection execution error and windows reverted the process back to the original software. I then removed ITunes through the control panel ap. I removed Bonjour and quicktime. I could not use the windows uninstaller to remove the apple upgrade installer and had to find a fix it program on the microsoft web site to fully remove this program. After doing this, I was able to load and install itunes 10.5. However, now when I try to sync my new 4S phone, the sync only goes to the 2nd or 3rd step before eliciting a DPE error and causing itunes to shut down. I tried making a new user profile. Opened I tunes in the new profile and began to search for music on my computer. The program again elicited a DPE error. I looked to see if quicken was still on the computer and maybe causing a hangup, but it is no longer installed. Ok, I am at wits end and have spent much too much time on this issue. Please help.

I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !
