Need Backup Help

I've been trying to backup my iTunes library (tried to backup both ripped and purchased and just purchased) onto a DVD-R disc and before it starts writing, I get an error message saying iTunes has run into an unknown error. The Error code is 4251. Does anyone know about this and how do I go about backing up my iTunes music?

Kicking. I really need help in figuring out how to back up my collection of tunes. I can't do it through iTunes (that 4251 error message) nor can I back up through Norton 360.
Will someone please help me?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • HT201210 I tried to update to IPad 5.1, but when it finished and tried to restore the backup, it shows me that Itunes could not back up because a session could not be started with iPad. need your help please

    This has happened to me a couple of times and what I do is quit iTunes and restart my Mac and then try again and then it will work.
    If iTunes has already created the backup, you should still be able to restore from the backup when you are connected to iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select restore from backup. After the process completes, sync with iTunes to transfer all of your apps, music, photos and other media back onto the iPad.

  • Need your help in Remodeling concept

    Hi Gurus need your help in time estimations
    I have a cube with data and now I need to add 10 new info objects to the cube which are including Date fields (BUDAT, BLDAT) these 10 fields will be populated to the cube from a Z table in ECC as we donu2019t have these fields in the cube we have to go for remodeling of the cube
    My client requires how much time it will take to complete this
    Now I want to know how much time it would take to do this (if any customer exits and user exits are required) and addition if new fields will have any effect on the current queries
    Please advice in this
    Thank you

    The time taken will depends on a lots of factor like server speed, available memory, background jobs etc. Apart from this, the time will also depends on how much the cube is filled i.e. the no. of records in the cube. Its very abstract to tell you the exact time taken for this. But, please make sure that you have the backup of the cube which you are going to re-model. T0 say, I think 3-4 hours should be ok for the remodelling.
    Thanks.

    Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so that iTunes has to create an entire new file.  The backup file is located here. You can delete that backup once you get a successfull backup.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • Unable to switch/open/close apps, shutdown or backup - HELP

    Hi guys,
    I'm not so much of a newbie, but I'm kind of lost here and I need your help. I'm working on a MacBook Pro with Leopard.
    *Weird Behavior:*
    - I cannot open applications (no response when clicking on dock's icons).
    - I cannot close applications (no response when right-clicking on dock's icons).
    - When I click commandoptionesc, nothing is listed in the "force quit application" window.
    - I cannot switch between applications. Command+tab won't work. Expose` won't function. I can continue to work only in the active window.
    - The top menu bar stays on the last active application, and stops responding (no response even when clicking on the apple). After few clicks on it, it disappears.
    - I cannot restart, shutdown or log out.
    - My only option in this situation is to do "hard reset" by holding the power button for a few seconds.
    *When this behavior occurs:*
    *1. Connecting external Hard Drive*
    I have an external HD, 250 Gb, connected via USB. I've been using it for a few months with Time Machine, as my backup volume. Suddenly this week, this "weird behavior" started occurring every time after I connected the drive (maybe when TM got into action). At first I assumed it was caused by a malfunction with the drive itself, so I formatted it. Didn't help. Whenever I try to backup - it fails to pass 46.8 Mb, and the "weird behavior" starts occurring again.
    *2. Starting DiskWarrior*
    So I decided to preform some checks on my internal HD. I installed DiskWarrior, but when tried to run it, the moment it asked for administrator password - "weird behavior" started and I couldn't type the password (another of its symptoms).
    My only option was to burn DiskWarrior on CD and boot from it. I did, and indeed it found some errors on my internal HD and rebuild the directory. It didn't find any problems in my external HD, as it is still formatted (blank). I thought maybe now the problem got solved, but then again - no. Still, trying to open DiskWarrior, trying to use Time Machine - all cause this weird behavior.
    *3. Starting SuperDuper*
    I came to a conclusion that I need to reinstall Leopard, but I still needed to backup my system, and since Time Machine was not an option, I tried to use SuperDuper. But here again - when pressing the "Copy" button in the software, it asks for an administrator password, and weird behavior happens again, and I can't type the password (or do anything else but hard reset again).
    So, something is definitely wrong with the system, but without performing backup, I can't reinstall Leopard.
    I would appreciate getting your thoughts/suggestions, especially if anyone else has ever got into this weird behavior, and maybe found a way to solve it.
    thanks,
    -Omri

    Install OS X on another hard drive. Hopefully you have one.
    Put Disk Warrior and SuperDuper there.
    It sounds like a problem that has existed with Leopard, more often back in 10.5.0/.1 but also seems to be back now with 10.5.4 judging by the threads, with USB devices, hubs, and cables. When FW doesn't work, usually USB does; but, when USB doesn't... try FW interface.
    Beware of which USB/FW drive case enclosure you buy. Try these would be my suggestion:
    http://www.macsales.com/firewire in bare case (transfer your drive) or full drive + case.
    When you hard restart, the directory, journal, cache folders, and whatever files are open at the time in memory and have changes not written to disk can be damaged, corrupt.

  • I want to get iBook, Facebook and Skype to my iphone 4.2.1 through my iTune, but I coudn't because it is said that it requires a newer version of iOS. Please I need your help. Thanks

    I want to get iBook, Facebook and Skype to my iphone 4.2.1 through my iTune, but I coudn't because it is said that it requires a newer version of iOS. Please I need your help. Thanks

    If your iPhone can't be updated to a higher iOS version then the only way to get them is if you downloaded versions of them which were compatible with iOS 4.2.1 and you still have copies of those versions somewhere e.g. on your computer or on a backup - only the current version of each app is available in the store, and as apps (and other content) are tied to the account that downloads them, you will need to have older copies that are linked to your id

  • RMAN report need backup

    We have an incremental level-1 backup Mon-Sat and cold full backup on Sundays with retention policy of 7 days. While troubleshooting some backup issues (space issue, expired backups) I ran the following commands and trying to understand the output.
    RMAN> report need backup database;
    RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
    RMAN retention policy is set to recovery window of 7 days
    Report of files whose recovery needs more than 7 days of archived logs
    File Days Name
    100 146 /orahprdidx/hprd/psindex05.dbf
    RMAN> report unrecoverable;
    Report of files that need backup due to unrecoverable operations
    File Type of Backup Required Name
    RMAN> report need backup days = 7 database;
    Report of files whose recovery needs more than 7 days of archived logs
    File Days Name
    100 146 /orahprdidx/hprd/psindex05.dbf
    RMAN> report obsolete recovery window of 7 days;
    no obsolete backups found
    RMAN>
    I looks like I need 146 days worth of archive log files to recover the psindex05.dbf. If so, what I could do to bring that into the 7 days policy?
    The database is fine, I am not trying to recover the database.
    This was setup by someone and now I am taking over with minimum RMAN experience.
    I appreciate any help in this subject.

    The datafile was offline. I guess it was created my mistake and hanging in there. Once I do the cleanup it should go away.

  • Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

    need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.  Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen?  any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Please I Need A Help ,

    Hi , I Using Blackberry Curve 9220 ,
     , I Buy This Blackberry From Someone ,
    But I Do Not Know Him , And I Never Saw Him Again ,
    So The Problem Is , Enterprise Activation Password ,
    Where Can I Get The Activation Password ?
    I Really2 Need Help Here ,
    I Cannot Open The Appworld , Bis( FB , Twitter Application , BBM )
    So What Should I Do Right Now ?
    Please , Help Me , I Really2 Need Your Help , Y_Y 

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    First off, if you are not an enterprise subscriber, then the Enterprise selection is not relevant to you...rather to use the proprietary BB services (including Push email capability, BBM, etc.), you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a Push-email enabled BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), your BB-proprietary services will function (e.g., you will have Personal/Internet Email added to the email setup wizard, your BBM will function, etc).
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_n​eed_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
    With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans, it's impossible to tell you specifically what any service plan might actually provide. Only the carriers can answer that question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you desire, and then talk to your carrier about obtaining (from them) a data plan that enables what you desire.
    BUT...your potential problems do not end there (they may not even start there!!). See this:
    B05099 Steps to take before selling or after buying a previously owned BlackBerry smartphone
    If the person who sold it to you did not properly complete ALL of the SELLER steps, you may never be able to get this BB working on any network. Further, it is completely possible that the BB is reported as lost or stolen, which will preclude its functionality for ever.
    So, here's some more information for you...
    Any BB can be used on any carrier that runs the same radio frequencies that the BB is capable of (and I've no idea if your's are such). But, to bring a BB onto a carrier network that they did not sell to you, there are several hurdles to cross:
    1) The carrier must say "yes" to the fact...they own their network and have every right to say what devices will be allowed to connect to it. If they say "no", then that's the end of it.
    2) You must be sure that your BB is properly unlocked from it's originally manufactured-for carrier...see this helpful thread for details:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/General-Bla​ckBerry-Functions-and/Unlocking-your-BlackBerry-Gu​...
    3) You must get all of your voice level services functioning on the carrier, before you even try anything about data
    4) You must subscribe, from the carrier, to an adequate data plan to enable the BB-proprietary services you desire
    5a) If the carrier directly supports your specific model BB, then you can proceed with registering the BB onto their network, generating the proper Service Book delivery to your BB, and proceeding to function.
    5b) But, if the carrier does not directly support your specific model number of BB, then the challenges are much greater as most carrier systems will not deliver, to the BB, the necessary service books to enable the BB-proprietary data services, even if you do subscribe to them.
    So, depending on all of that, your BB may or may not ever fully function on that carrier network. It can be quite tricky to accomplish, especially if 5b applies. So take a look at all of that and decide how you wish to proceed. Most folks wind up just buying a new BB if 5b applies.
    Good luck and let us know!

    Thank you

    If you were syncing your contacts with your computer via MobileMe then your contacts should be in the contact manager you sync with on your computer.
    If not, and you haven't maintained offline backups of your contacts, or didn't move your account to iCloud before last June, and haven't ever synced your devices to your computer then your data is gone. It can't be retrieved because it doesn't exist anywhere else, as you haven't followed Apple's directions for backing up and syncing.

  • Very slow performance running Mavericks - need troubleshooting help

    Hello folks:
    I have a MBP 2011 which was upgraded to Mavericks from Mountain Lion about 6 weeks ago. Since then I have had a major performance drop - slow machine, very slow window renderings, etc. I know a number of people have been facing these issues and have been recommended to clean up 3rd party extensions/agents. I ran Etrecheck (report below) and I need some help with fixing the failed kernel extensions and launch daemons. Thanks much!

      Western Digital My Book 1148 3 TB    WD drives are one of the worst things that can happen to a mac. They have software on the drive and also in the firmware of the drive enclosure that is incompatible with Mavericks. The software that they also want you to install on your mac (to run the drive with the shitware on it that is incompatible with Mavericks) is also incompatible with Mavericks. The best thing to do with this drive is to open it and remove the hard drive and put it into a new (non-WD) enclosure. Then smash the WD enclosure into little bits with a sledgehammer and mail it back to WD.

    Kernel Extensions:
    com.wdc.driver.USB_64HP (1.0.0 - SDK 10.6)     This would be part of the shitware that you installed from WD. I would  uninstall the WD application that installs this driver. If the driver is still there after that, I'd look for the extension in /System/Library/Extensions and delete it from there. This may have damaged your kernel, though. If your performance is not improved after removing the WD app and this extension, you should probably back up your documents, erase your HD, and do a clean reinstall of Mavericks.

I would try repairing your hard drive: Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery . Then restart, reassess your mac’s performance, and rerun Etrecheck. If that doesn’t work, I’d reinstall Mavericks over your current installation. If that doesn’t work, I’d do a clean install.

  • RMAN REOPRT NEED BACKUP

    i do not really understand the 'INCREMENTAL' option of "RMAN REOPRT NEED BACKUP" command.
    like the one below:
    RMAN> REPORT NEED BACKUP INCREMENTAL 3 DATABASE;
    Whats the significance of the word 'INCREMENTAL' .
    I need help please.
    thank you

    Yes, of course.
    An incremental backup is a partial backup. It doesn't contain the entire database, just those bits of the database which have changed since the last appropriate backup.
    That's why you can't just restore an incremental backup and open your database: the backup you've just restored only has some of the database blocks in it.
    Imagine Monday's backup happens to capture blocks 5, 10, 15, 20, 25... and so on.
    Tuesday's backup captures blocks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.. and so on
    Wednesdays captures blocks 1, 3, 7, 9, 11 and so on.
    On Thursday, you lose File 1. To restore it, you need blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Getting all those blocks means loading Monday's tape and restoring block 5; loading Tuesday's tape and restoring blocks 2, 4 and 6; and finally loading Wednesday's tape and restoring blocks 1, 3 and 7.
    You get everything back, but it takes you three goes and lots of tape loading.
    Alternatively, On Thursday morning I could do a new complete backup (that therefore includes blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... and so on). When I lose File 1 on Thursday afternoon, I simply have to restore blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 from the one Thursday morning tape.
    The command you first asked about understands that the incremental restore process is a slow way of doing things and is suggesting to you that anything listed could do with a nice, new complete backup so that you would be able to restore from that new backup rather than the three old ones.
