My ipad wont backup. No matter what I try, it simply wont backup. Keeps rebooting.

I already deleted the mobilesync folder, deleted some of my apps to make free space (11gb of free space now), restarted the ipad, my macbook, and attempted many of the so called "solutions" and still got nothing. My device is not jailbroken, is running 4.2.1 and my itunes is 10.2.2. Cant seem to backup no matter what.
Any (other) ideas how to fix this?
Thank you

Then I assume that you read the link that Carolyn posted and tried to log in on the Mac with a different user account and that didn't work. I've Googled this over and over for some time tonight and I'm sure you have as well and can come up with nothing else.
Did you try Settings>Reset>Reset All Settings? Not sure that would help at all but that sticks out from my reading tonight somewhere. If you do that - reboot your iPad before you try to backup again.
I wish I had another idea for you but I am down to thinking try Express Lane Support. I would hesitate to restore because you have no backup to restore from and you would have to go back to factory settings. Express Lane couldn't hurt but I'm not sure they would help either. If you've had the iPad for less than 90 days you can get free phone support from Apple. If you are close to an Apple Store an appointment at the Genius Bar might be a good idea as well.
Quick Edit - the other poster solved his issue by reading that link in the thread that I gave you. I know you said you read the thread but did you go to the link, read the article and try those steps?

  • HT201210 my iphone 4 wont update, no matter what i try

    I'vw tried getting the new ios 7 update, but nothing works for my iphone 4. What should I do?

    Just have to give it some time. The download, activation, and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.

    Hi Demo,
    Yes, I have not made myself clear, I apologise.
    I have tried downloading apps from itunes in order to set up a game for my son, when I go to click on a link, be this in itunes, or on the web, Safari revolts back informing the address is invalid. I read by coping a link and pasting into the URL, this would do it, but not so.
    My goal then, is to install Minecraft for my son, I would then download an app to allow this but I am unable to get this far due to Safari insulting the address I ask it to go to
    The iPad is first generation
    OS 5.1.1 Software up to date.
    Thank you in advance for your time

    iTunes Store for Windows. Everytime I try an access the iTunes Store it takes really long to connect and then it says iTunes store cannot be access. I think I am up to date with iTunes Verison, I Have 11.0.2.26 but no matter what I try it does not connect. HELP Please???

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • I have just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3. I followed all correct steps, restarted my computer etc. But iTunes will now not open no matter what I try and do. Please help me!!!!!!!!

    I have just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3. I followed all correct steps, restarted my computer etc but now I cannot open iTunes not matter what I try and do.
    Very frustrating. Have read the trouble shooting info on Apple website but nothing has worked.
    Someone please help. I cannot access any of my music.

    Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

  • Excel (Office 2010 64 bit) will not connect to Oracle DB not matter what I try

    Hello Everyone,
    I started a new role that requires me to interact with an Oracle DB using Excel.  Currently I have both the 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle clients installed on my Windows 7 PC. 
    Firstly I can TNSPing the database I need to connect to, I can also connect using SQLPlus to the desired database, I can even connect using TOAD.
    No matter what I try I cannot connect using Excel VBA (Office 2010 64 bit).
    The process below used to work for me in a different location, now the objDatabase always is returned "Empty"
    Set objSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
    Set objDataBase = objSession.OpenDatabase("database server", "user name/passsword", 0&)
    I am not even able to set up a simple ODBC connection working.  I get a error "ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable."
    When using a ADODB connection I get this error. Run time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
    [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and default driver specified.
    I have place the TNSNames file in both Oracle Home's
    I have even reinstalled Office 2010.

    Hi,
    The 12577 error (12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable) is related to Windows Environment or Oracle Home PATH because sqlplus command works smoothly when I execute it inside ORACLE_HOME\bin.
    There are two solutions to this issue:
    1. Put the Oracle DB Home in front of the other paths in the PATH environment variable.
    2. Remove ORACLE_HOME From environment Variable and re-boot PC

  • My iMac has a Kernel Panic screen come up on start up and I can't get past it no matter what I try. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    My mac has a "Kernel Panic" screen come up on start up. No matter what I try I can't get past this to fix it. Any hints out there? Do I have to completely wipe my drive and re-install to fix this? I can't even back up my files before doing this as like I say I can't get past the Kernel Panic message.

    There are some fairly informative articles about kernel panics...
    •OS X: About kernel panics:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Note the toggle triangles to get more info in the above article, some are
    important steps, with alternative methods of accessing or performing a
    suggested activity and may vary with the OS X version in use.
    •Resolving Kernel Panics:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    •Technical Note: TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics:
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2063/_index.html
    The above TN covers several technical aspects to identify & troubleshoot.
    Some are above the average user needs, but still can be rather helpful.
    Hopefully you can get past the kernel panic screen, there are several
    ways to attempt to do that, however if the issue is hardware, a reinstall
    of the OS X may not cure the underlying cause of the symptom.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
