I was not able to back up my files since November 22,2013. It only takes 30 minutes to an hour to back up it. But when I checked, 36 hours was the estimated time. Please help me how I should deal with this. Thank you.
It's definitely the space. Try this program:import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class FileRead {
public static String[] readFile (String fileName) throws IOException {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (new File (fileName)));
StringBuffer contents = new StringBuffer ();
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine ()) != null) {
contents.append (line);
contents.append ("\n");
StringTokenizer tokeniser = new StringTokenizer (contents.toString ());
String[] results = new String[tokeniser.countTokens ()];
int i = 0;
while (tokeniser.hasMoreTokens ()) {
results[i ++] = tokeniser.nextToken ();
return results;
public static void main (String[] parameters) throws IOException {
String[] contents = FileRead.readFile (new Boolean (parameters.length == 0 ? "false" : parameters[0]).booleanValue () ? "d:\\java\\forum\\a b c\\test.txt" : "test.txt");
for (int i = 0; i < contents.length; i ++) {
System.out.println (contents);
}(you must replace d:\forum\a b c by your own space containing directory)
I can run java FileReaderwithout a problem, but get a FileNotFoundException forjava FileReadertrue.
Kind regards,

My phone was never added to my iTune devices. Now it is not starting and I am not able to back it up before resetting to the factory settings.
Then you are out of luck with wanting to create a backup for your iPhone first. This could have been done wirelessly with a free Apple iCloud account without needing to use iTunes on your computer to do so. This is similar to not creating a backup for your computer, your computer hard drive crashes and wanting to back up the hard drive before reformatting the hard drive.

HT201210 iPhone 4s not able to back up or synch in iTunes. No specific error message given.
I just completed downloading IOS 5.1.1 this afternoon and when the process begins to upload the software onto the phone, it fails and I receive the following error message: "iTunes could not back up to the iPhone because an error has occurred." This has been my first software update since I got the phone in January. The phone also fails to synch at Step 2 or 3 with an undefined error message. Please help. Thanks.
Lawrence, thanks for the suggestions. I had to forward them to my corporate IS guys as I am using a corporate Windows XP laptop and corporate iPhone 4s. They approved and I gave it a shot.
The regular synch is going further now but still dies with same error message at the start of step 6. I also tried installing the IOS 5.1.1 software again and it gave me the same error message as noted above.
I have not updated safari in ages (since I received this phone in January). Could that be the cause? I am leary of deleting iTunes as I do not know if it is properly backed up. -
Am not able to back up through WiFi
Hello apples..
My iPhone was automatically backin up once connected to Wifi, plugged in, and locked. today i checked the last back up done it was 27/3. i tried to back up manually but it keeps sayin (backing up.... estimating time remaining) and keeps like that for ever. i connected my iPhone to iTunes and backed up from there (To iCloud and not to my computer) it worked fine and showed the last back up 5 minutes ago. so i can back up to iCloud throug iTunes and not through WiFi.

Since I upgraded my iMac,my time machine is not backing up automatically to my time capsule since my upgrade to Moutain Lion.
I have a similar problem. On my iMac, I swapped out (at Genius Bar) my HD via Seagate replacement program. Ever since my time machine won't backup. I get a error msg that says:
Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "[my time machine name]"
The backup disk is not available.
Any suggestions.
Thanks -
Is there a fix or upgrade to deal with the many problems I am experiencing since I installed Lion? I can no longer utilize Time Machine (Does not see the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not work properly; my iMac has slowed down considerably. I am reminded of having a PC machine again. Bummer!
Either downgrade to Snow Leopard or try reinstalling Lion.
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files. -
After Sleep, Moutain Lion will not find Network Drives
Hi all,
I've upgraded to Mountain Lion on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro 13 and all was well until I've noticed that after sleeping my MacBook will not find any network drives. I only noticed this since TimeMachine came up with an error that it cannot backup due to not being able to find the device on the network, my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 was powered on and TimeMachine backed up to it less than an hour before?
I've tried an Alt Rt Click on Finder to Relaunch Finder but still my MacBook will not find any network drives until I reboot, or switch off WiFi and then turn it back on?
Has anybody else come across this since the upgrade to Moutain Lion?
My MacBook Pro is fully up to date and TimeMachine works well if the MacBook doesn't sleep?
Many thanks in advance, Jon.Surely it's not just me that is experiencing these issues? The latest update mentioned some networked drives but still i'm experiencing the same issues after sleep. If I reboot fine, but not after sleep?
Can anybody help??
Jon. -
I have not been able to back up for2 days. Time machine error message: /Volumes/Data/David’s MacBook Air.sparsebundle” is already in use.
What now?
Macbook Air.
Was working fine for the past year until now.See more like this on the right.. this is the most common error reported here since mountain lion came out..
Or read C12.. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Or just restart the whole network.. in right order from off.. modem.. router / TC.. clients 2min gap. -
I've just had my hard drive go caput and after purchasing a new one was inclined to install snow leopard but received an error message when attempting to do so.
I did not create a back up or restore file before I decided to upgrade from snow leopard.
I'm wondering why am I not able to simply install snow leopard on a brand new hard drive. What would clue it into me having had ran lion before and why can't I simply delete that kernel or said file. It makes completely no sense to me. I come from a pc world where if I choose to format a hard drive, I can do a clean install of whatever OS I choose. After all I only paid for my laptop as should be able to do with it what I wish.
Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated1. Was Lion on the machine and trying to downgrade?
2. If so this might be an issue. Newer machines are done for current OSX.
3. If you have Lion on your machine try to install Snow Leopard on another partition or portable HD
4. After you format and install SL on the other partition or drive Try to boot from this machine retarting and holding the Option key at boot up.
5. See if that work.
This is a trial and error way but Mountain Lion is right around the corner and Snow Leopard is 2+ yrs old.

I am not able to install my 'Complete National Geographic' cd on my Mac mini which runs Lion OS. The error message I get says 'Can't open installer as classic environment is no longer supported' can some one suggest a solution.
It means the software is PowerPC code, which is no longer supported in Lion. Your choices are to go back to Snow Leopard, run Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine within Lion, see if the vendor has an updated version of National Geographic that will run on an Intel Mac, or run the software on an older Mac separately.

I am not able to see any sign of progress from last night,and when i go back to app store it shows downloading.
Welcome to Apple Communities
Go to App Store > Purchases, pause and resume it. If it doesn't work, delete it and download Mountain Lion again -
I got another mail regarding mountain lion free upgrade program !! But its saying OS X server not able to download ?
Plz HelpYou are not alone in this, Maddy. I had the same thing happen. Apple obviously sent incorrect codes that redeemed for OS X Server instead of Mountain Lion. I called Apple Care who said that it must be some server fluke and that they would get back to me within 24 hours.
