My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed.  After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work.  I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder.  Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore.  Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

  • Is their any tutorials on how to make a navigation bar with drop downs in Dreamweaver CC now ?

    Is their any tutorials on how to make a navigation bar with drop downs in Dreamweaver CC now that they do not have the spry option?

    Preran, why wouldn't Dreamweaver include it's own menu/navigation bar widget?
    I can't answer on Preran's or Adobe's behalf, but I think you'll find at least part of the answer here: http://wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/38666403/Menubar
    Adobe decided to discontinue development of Spry in August last year, and Dreamweaver CC made the switch to using jQuery UI widgets and effects. One reason for dropping Spry was that it failed to work correctly in some browsers. Judging from the fact that the jQuery UI menubar is now "on ice", creating a flyout menu that works reliably across all devices is proving more difficult than originally envisaged.
    Because all other widgets in Dreamweaver CC use jQuery UI, it's a reasonable assumption that Adobe hoped the jQuery UI menubar would be ready in time, but it wasn't.

  • Any ideas on how to do a local mirror for this situation?

    I'm starting a project to allow ArchLinux to be used on a Cluster environment (autoinstallation of nodes and such). I'm going to implement this where I'm working right now (~25 node cluster). Currently they're using RocksClusters.
    The problem is that the connection to internet from work is generally really bad during the day. There's a HTTP proxy in the middle. The other day I tried installing archlinux using the FTP image and I took more than 5 hours just to do an upgrade + installing subversion and other packages, right after an FTP installation (which wasn't fast either).
    The idea is that the frontend (the main node of the cluster) would hold a local mirror of packages so that when nodes install use that mirror (the frontend would use this also, because of the bad speed).
    As I think it should be better to only update the mirror and perform an upgrade not very often (if something breaks I would leave users stranded until I fix it), I thought I should download a snapshot of extra/ and current/ only once. But the best speed I get from rsync (even at night, where an HTTP transfer from kernel.org goes at 200KB/s) is ~13KB/s this would take days (and when it's done I would have to resync because of any newer package that could have been released in the meantime).
    I could download extra/ and current/ at home (I have 250KB/s downstream but I get like ~100KB/s from rsync), record several CDs (6!... ~(3GB + 700MB)/700MB) but that's not very nice. I think that maybe this would be just for the first time. Afterwards an rsync would take a lot less, but I don't know how much less.
    Obiously I could speed things a little If I download the full ISO and rsync current using that as a base. But for extra/ I don't have a ISOs.
    I think this is a little impractical (to download everything) as I wouldn't need whole extra/ anyways. But it's hard to know all packages needed and their dependencies to download only those.
    So... I would like to know if anyone has any ideas on how to make this practical. I wouldn't wan't my whole project to crumble because of this detail.
    It's annoying because using pacman at home, always works at max speed.
    BTW, I've read that HOWTO that explains how to mount pacman's cache on the nodes to have a shared cache. But I'm not very sure if that's a good option. Anyway, that would imply to download everything at work, which would take years.

    V01D wrote:After installation the packages that are in cache are the ones from current. All the stuff from extra/ won't be there until I install something from there.
    Anyway, if I installl from a full CD I get old packages which I have to pacman -Syu after installation (that takes long time).
    Oh, so that's how is it.
    V01D wrote:
    I think I'm going to try out this:
    * rsync at home (already got current last night)
    * burn a DVD
    * go to work and then update the packages on DVD using rsync again (this should be fast, if I don't wait long time after recording it)
    And to optimize further rsync's:
    * Do a first install on all nodes an try it out for a few days (so I install all packages needed)
    * Construct a list of packages used by all nodes and frontend
    * Remove them from my mirror
    * Do further rsync updates only updating the files I already have
    This would be the manual approach of the shared cache idea I think.
    Hmm... but why do you want to use rsync? You'll need to download the whole repo, which is quite large (current + extra + testing + community > 5.1GB, extra is the largest). I suggest you to download only those packages and their dependencies that you use.
    I have similar situation. At work I have unlimited traffic (48kbps at day and 128kbps at night), at home - fast connection (up to 256kbps) but I pay for every megabyte (a little, but after 100-500 megabytes it becomes very noticeable). So I do
    yes | pacman -Syuw
    or
    yes | pacman -Syw pkg1 pkg2 ... pkgN
    at work (especially when packages are big), then put new downloaded files on my flash drive, then put them into /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ at home, and then I only need to do pacman -Sy before installing which takes less than a minute.
    I have 1GB flashdrive so I can always keep the whole cache on it. Synchronizing work cache <-> flash drive <-> home cache is very easy.
    P.S.: Recently I decided to make complete mirror of all i686 packages from archlinux.org with rsync. Not for myself but for my friends that wanted to install Linux. Anyway I don't pay for every megabyte at my work. However it took almost a week to download 5.1 GB of packages.
    IMHO for most local mirror solutions using rsync is overkill. How many users are there that use more than 30% of packages from repos? So why to make full mirror with rsync when you can cache only installed packages?

  • Anyone have any ideas of how to make the battery on the iphone5 last longer?

    Anyone have any ideas of how to make the battery on the iphone5 last longer? I don't use the phone that much and the battery does not last all day. Phone is new.

    Many suggestions can be found here
    1. turn off push email and use fetch or manual fetch instead.
    2. turn off or at least limit notifications
    3. limit use of apps that use location services (eg. maps app - heavy power useage when running).
    4. in General->About->Diagnostics & Usage, turn off Automatic sending.
    5. Privacy->Location Services->System Services, disable everything (none of it need be running for normal use).
    6. Wifi, turn off "Ask to Join Networks" so your device is not polling all open networks it finds.
    7. keep brightness as low as you can get by with.
    Finally, get a car charger, and a second charger for work/school and just plug in whenever it is convenient to do so.
    Or, if it suits your daily routine better, get an external battery power brick or case and charge it periodically from that.

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

    Honestly, if you want help it is generally a good idea to ask a specific question and give some details of what problem is occurring.
    If trying to move media, using home sharing is simply a bad idea.  Follow some of the other instructions in the article from which the question was posted to move media.

    I have the same problem. I think that someone tried my iphone before me because when I want to reset it, I'm invited to enter a password that I didn't set. Also, when I go the Map application, the iphone indicate that I'm locateded in China while I'm in Tunisia. Now, I can't connect to my iphone to itunes, and I can't reset it because it ask me to enter a password that I didn't set.

  • Any ideas on how to make my video preview work?

    We have installed Premiere Pro CS4 on some brand new HP Compaq dc7900 machines (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/au/en/sm/WF06a/12454-12454-64287-3328898-3328898-3785403.ht ml) that supposedly use the Intel GMA 4500 integrated graphics chip. The problem is, that we cannot play any captured or imported video (sounds do play though), all we get is this funny turquoise screen. However, if I click in the preview window while stopped, the frame does show as it should.
    I have spent some time searching for this and I realize I'm not the only one experiencing this problem but I have yet to see a solution that works, at least on my system.
    The Intel Graphics chip only supports OpenGL 1.4 (see hp link), not 2.0 as the CS4 requirements states.
    Well, I could be mistaken already at this point, but I am under the impression that the OpenGL 2.0 only comes into play when playing certain effects, not just playing video on the timeline. Intel has also said that 2.0 support is included in the "new" driver for Q43/Q45 (http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/quick-reference-guide-to-intel-integrated-graphic s/) My current driver is from September 09, and I have also tried drivers from April and March without any luck.
    The weird thing about this, is that when I disable the Q43/Q45 driver under device manager and restart my PC (with a blurry image in too low resolution), the video in Premiere plays back like there is no tomorrow! Everything runs just fine! (Except that I have to sit 3 metres from the screen to actually see anything)
    The "Other devices" is most likely something to do with the 1394-card we put in. It does work as is though. Enabling/disabling the other video adapters shown does not change anything around our issue.
    I can't understand what is making this problem, but it does sound a lot like a driver issue. For good measure I have included a screenshot from GSpot:
    I'm grateful for any help I can get on this!
    -Steffen

    There are some low-profile slots though 1 of them are occupied by the firewire card: 1 low-profile PCI, 2 low-profile PCI Express x16, 1 low-profile PCI Express x1
    We actually purchased 13 of these computers for video editing, so I really hope it is possible to fix this without buying 13 low-profile graphics adapters. What gets to me is the fact that it does work when I disable the driver. (!) Shold therefore be doable to make a driver/update that works :-(
    Any ideas? Or, in worst case, anyone know about a low-profile graphics card that works?
    Thanks,
    Steffen
