Message: Unable to Backup Files

Periodically I'll get a message that the computer was unable to perform a backup for files in Time Machine.
What's that mean?

I just called tech support about it because I get the same message at least once a week. My MacBook Pro running Leopard goes most of the way through the backup and then decides it can't finish. This seems to be a pretty common problem. Mike at Apple says to keep track of any applications I have open and running when Time Machine starts and I get the error, and anything I'm doing at the time--especially if I'm using the external drive I use for backup. However, I only use this for backup because TM takes up so much space. So I don't think that's it. He had me do a manual backup using the TM icon on the top right toolbar, which seemed to work fine. According to him, they seem to be having some problem with other "actions" interfering with TM.

Text Message: Unable to execute file for security ...

Whenever I'm viewing a text message, when I try to open up the "Options" menu, I see the above message, "Text Message: Unable to execute file for security reasons". This doesn't seem to impact the functionality of the menu at all, everything seems to work.
Anyone ever come across this before?
I've updated the phone (Nokia E66) to the latest software, and I've only got one application installed other than the default base install (Google calendar sync utility), removing that doesn't change the problem.
Thanks in advance!

I get the same error after SW update to latest version when I try to run some apps

Dear nokia service manager,,

hope its a mandatory feature as laptop and mobile interface are simple task nowadays in mobile...
pls reply me..its very urgent...thanku..

You could try Videora (http://www.videora.com/) - the downside here is that they have specific versions for specific phones, and sometimes it will makea file that plays perfectly in the desired phone but can't be shared to other models. The don't show a version for the N79, but try the N96 one because the N96 is the most similar OS to yours that they offer.

I keep receiving an error message, "unable to update files in cache"

Yesterday I install the latest version of Firefox 3.6.14 and I'm constantly receiving an error message, "unable to update files in cache," is this a settings issue, and how can I fix the problem.

Hi Terry, A post is the message that anyone has just typed in. When you replied to me, that was your post. I am replying to you so this is my post. Think of it as sending an email or mailing a letter at the "post" office.
Now right at the top of the last post (message) you sent me is a Post#, then the date and time and under that the thread subject "Re: I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 10 and I keep getting......
The first time that you posted, you described your problem. The next post after that is #1 and so on.
The Adobe Flash Player forum works very much like email except there are a lot of "threads". A thread is what each message you see is called. Everyone that registers can start their own thread (subject). Then other people see it and can post to your thread and try to help you with your problem.
You did pretty good, you registered, and you started your first thread
Now do you feel somewhat more relaxed? Hope so.
Take a look now and see if you can find the Post# and etc that I described above.
Thanks,

PLEASE HELP - Unable to restore all messages from my backup file (.bbb) - 21800 messages and I need them all

Hi.
This is not the first time I encountered this issue. The backup file itself is 18.5MB in size. The critical stuff is my 21800 messages (emails for 7 different email accounts). Whenever I do a restore, the DM only reads 13859 messages and unfortunately not in reverse order. So I end up with no emails for the last 7 months! BIG PROBLEM for me! I have done a selective restore. I have done a complete wipe and then a full restore (no success), then deleted all data and tried a selective restore and only selected the messages (still only around 13,500 messages).
There appears to be a limitation around the 13500 mark for messages.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help.

It's been a while since I used Apple's Backup, but you should be able to select "Restore" from within the app to find an iCal backup file. When you find your most recent backup file restore it to your main computer. An iCal backup should look like this: "iCal - 10/31/06.icbu". Once you have the file you can just double click on it and iCal will open and give a warning about overwriting your current database file. You can just select "Revert" to overwrite the current file since you have nothing in it now. Everything should then go back to the state it was in since your last backup. You might lose some of your most recent entries if they were not in the backup, but you should get back most of what you lost. Good Luck!!

Getting error message 'unable to sync files'

I have viewed possilbe reasons for this error but none of the information tells me what to do about it. All there is is the constant pestering of a window that comes onto the screen from the right hand side saying 'unable to sync files' For instance one of the instructions says "Try turning "Turn synch off" on and off." This would be fine but it does not even tell me how to do that. Another 'helpl' says Unable to authenticate, please sign in to edit your account" which would be fine but also it does not even give a hint about how to sign in or edit my account. I know nothing about 'Cloud' but that I have to have it to continue working with Newer versions of Adobe Software.
This is awful. I know if I erase my hard drive and do a low-level format that that would take care of the problem, but short of doing that...
How should I go about fixing this problem specifically?
TIA,
Ken

That is not only good information to know, but having this problem also alerted me to the fact that I know too little about Creative Cloud, now, by calling Adobe help by phone, I found out that there is an icon at the top of the screen on my browser that looks mostly like a black blob (Adobe should re-design that to look like a white cloud please) that is for Creative Cloud and by clicking on that icon I got the pull-down that had the option to turn Creative Cloud 'on' then 'off' which may come in handy for future problems that are not caused by the site being down.
Thank You,
Ken

Error message 'Unable to open file "3d.cst.ink"'

hello guys, I have this message when I open the .dcr file on the web browser. any ideias?

My guess would be that you created (accidentally or not) a shortcut (*.lnk file) when developing your project and that this is now causing you problems. Whether it's the shortcut you uploaded instead of the cast file, or whether the movie is looking for the shortcut instead of the cast, is impossible to say - but you should explore both of those possibilities.

I've assigned the letter to the drive to which DPM was backing up, found the last file (the size was 0) and copied this file from the source without any problem.
This problem occurred several times with different storages for replica. Unfortunately previous logs went away so I cannot say that it stopped on the same file, but the error "Data corruption near MTF DBLK" was the same.
When the file server was on Windows 2008 R2 and DPM was 2012 SP1 there were no problems with backup.

Hi,
This is a known issue and is actively being investigated for a fix.

HT201210 trying to backup ipad to windows 8 computer. i get an error message stating it is unable to backup. i also see this when try to backup to icloud. Everything works fine with Windows XP. Any suggestions?

Trying to backup iPad on New Windows 8 machine. I get an iTunes error message "unable to backup" This happens when I try to backup to my computer or iCloud. I don't have this issue with my XP machines. Any suggestions?

Go back to disk manager, assign a drive letter, after the mount. The vhdx will show in disk manager, right click on the vhdx, to add a drive letter

Most songs come up with a message "unable to locate original file".What's that about and how do I fix it?

In my library, many listed songs, when activated to play, give a message "unable to locate file, do you want us to search for it?". If you say yes, it never finds it, as it the songs are gone. Any thoughts on what's going on?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Quicken - unable to load file - what to do?

I recently upgraded my operating system from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) on my 2009 MacBook. I then upgraded my quicken to 2007 for lion, loaded up my quicken file and it worked fine. Then I turned off my computer.
Well, when I came back to it, the file wouldn't open with the error message "unable to load file." I started freaking out as I have many yrs and the entire tax year on quicken. I found the link below, but show contents did not appear at step 5 so I was to call quicken.
http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/backup--restore--file-issues/message-when -opening-quicken-for-mac--unable-to-open-file/GEN83256.html
I paid for and called intuit support, and after about an hour, the person said that my file must be corrupt (though it was just working this morning and on previous version). He kept having me do the above link with many different data files.
Anyway, after he hung up, I did get a version from a month ago to load up and re-entered data to catch up, closing quicken and backing up onto my external drive, etc. over and over again. I thought I was good to go but...
I turned off my computer to see if it would okay and after rebooting, again came the "unable to load file" error message. What can I do? I really need my quicken to work? Should I call India again and go through the same scripts with quicken? Please help!

I use Quicken 2007 and in my documents folder there is a Quicken Backup Folder that appears to update every time I quit Quicken. In the Files menu there are backup, restore, and save a copy commands. Maybe if you save a copy manually, it will not be corrupt. If that is the case, then try reloading the Quicken program. It is possible you got a corrupt download.
If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. It appears you may be doing that since you found the link you posted.

Error 'Unable to open file' when downloading SAP Query to Excel

Hi all
I'm running a SAP Query which is set to download straight to a spreadsheet (Pivot Table / Microsoft Excel). Intermittently it does not work - apparently at random (at least, I've can't recreate the error at will).
It does one of the following:
- Works ok, and creates the pivot table
- Gives an Excel error message 'Unable to open file', then returns to the 'save the data in a spreadsheet' popup when enter is pressed on the error.
- Does not issue error message, just goes to the 'save the data in a spreadsheet' popup.
In the last two cases, the excel pivot table sheet is not created.
Has anyone seen anything similar, or have any idea as to what is causing the problem?
Any help gratefully received!
Not urgent as I've found a way round - further testing seems to show that I don't get the error is Excel is already open - but in the past I've run many SAP query downloads without needing to open Excel first. I suppose it's possible that this is just something to do with the Excel setup at the user site

Hi,
Ensure that file name with same name and in same path should not be open while saving the data.
Award if it helps.

Error message "unable to acesses IXP213.tmp" when installing itunes

I have windows XP and whenever i try to upgrade, install or uninstall itunes i get teh error message,
"Unable to accesses file
C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP213.TMP\
please confirm that registry exists or select an alternate route."
I've tried all the methods that i could find on the boards and in the trouble shooting page but none of them have worked. Got any ideas on how to correct the problem?

Doublechecking something. When you attempt to clear the TEMP directory, as per the instructions in the following document:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
... does Windows allow you to do the deletion? or does it refuse to delete that file?
