PC Suite 6.6 Complete phone backup fails

I am trying to backup my 6680 and its memory card to my PC. PC Suite 6.6 always fails with a critical but unknown error message after about 2 minutes of the backup running it fails. I am connecting the 6680 to my PC using the supplied USB cable. I am able to use all the other components of PC Suite without difficulty. Does anyone have any ideas ?

I have the same problem, but I've narrowed it down to it not being able to download the contacts.
I'm using firmware Version 3.04.37
My Phone: Nokia E70 - Firmware 1.0610.05.07 (30-05-06) - PC Suite 6.81.22

TS3992 icloud phone backup failing because wifi disconnects automatically when locked

I'm trying to use icloud backup for the first time. I have 15GB storage available and my backup is going to be a little over 5GB.
Every time I start the backup, it fails because it says I am not connected to wifi. I do have a very good wifi signal and I am plugged in, the problem is that when the phone is locked, the wifi automatically disconnects.
What can I do?
Thanks

Replace your router the issue is your router isn't maintaining connectivity

Itunes phone backup fails on 6-plus running 8.1.3

When I try to back up my iPhone 6-plus via iTunes (iTunes 12.1.1; iOS 8.1.3), an error pop-up appears, saying
Despite this, both the phone and itunes keep the sync icon spinning and files carry on transferring.
This bug has persisted through 2 iOS updates and 2 or 3 iTunes updates.
Synching usually works via cable, but usually fails to start vi wi-fi

I have the same problem on my iPhone 6 plus!
I took my phone to the genius bar today because my camera wasn't focusing, and when I got my phone back, after they replaced the camera, the touch id was not working at all. I can't even add new fingerprints, because it keeps saying it failed, yet it won't even let me try to add it. SO STRANGE! My reachability feature stopped working, too.
Also, my wallpaper was blurry, try to reset it and it said it couldn't download the picture from my iCloud. There is also an update available, but I cannot download it because I get an error message.
I tried all the same things you did, and it was to no avail.
Going back to the genius bar tonight.

My I phone 4 will not complete the backup to i cloud.

Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem." Tried suggestions I've seen on the forum.

Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem." I've tried various suggestions I've seen on the forum but nothing has worked. TIme Machine worked fine for the last two years and just suddenly started having this problem every time. The only thing that was a little different is that the computer was off for a week while on vacation and then I added a large amount (20 GB) of photos. Now the requested backup size is 82GB, which is large, and process proceeds very slowly for 2-3 hours before failing with the message mentioned. I have more than enough available backup storage space for it. Before failing, Time Machine has backed up no more than 12GB or so of the backup. It fails during different files each time.
I've turned off the computer sleep feature, and I've checked that the NAS is set to never automatically power down. I normally backup over Wi-Fi, but I've also tried connecting to Ethernet and it still has the same problem. It's odd because I also have a MacBook Pro that is still backing up fine to the same NAS using the MacBook's Time Machine.
I am using an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and an Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 NAS.
I have system logs that I can share if helpful. The logged messages vary a bit from run to run, but here are some messages that I've been seeing:
I always get this message near the beginning of the backup:
Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
I've gotten this messsage a number of times:

That looks like a problem was found with the file system (data) on the TM disk. I don't know the details, but OSX tried to recover it from the journal, and found extra data on the drive. Likely a result of the incompatibility mentioned above.

Something caused a disconnect. Can't tell from the log what it was.
I doubt it's a problem with something in OSX being damaged or corrupted, but reinstalling OSX isn't a major hassle, so might be worth a try.
To be incompatible with Snow Leopard, this NAS must be at least a couple of years old. It may be beginning to fail.
Contact the maker. See if there's an update to make it compatible with Snow Leopard. If so, that might fix it.
If not, or if that doesn't fix it, see if they have any diagnostics that will shed any light.

PC Suite Backup failed to backup contacts

Went to update my firmware today, and it said that it would delete all contents on my phone. So, I updated PC Suite, and then clicked the backup button. It appeared to be successful.
I then had it install the firmware update. After that successfully happened, I went to backup, and clicked Restore. It updated my saved profiles, applications, files, and images.
My contacts, however, are now all gone.
The log shows it backed up Contacts, but there is nothing in that heading. If you compare it to how the log formats files, there were items under it as a heading, like so:
Content restored:
- User files
Images\Backgrounds\underdark1_176x208.otb
Others\ClientLoginTest.swf
Others\FlickrMobile.swf
Others\show_keycodes.swf
Others\testing_login.swf
etc...
- Contacts
- Calendar
- Settings
- Messages
- Bookmarks
- Full backup
So, following that logic I'm lead to believe that my Contacts didn't actually back up. Um... darn?
I have some contacts backed up on my SIM card, but they are 2 years old, and don't have the 2 years worth of contacts I've added since then.
Just thought Nokia might want to know their Backup program doesn't work with Contacts on a Nokia 6680.
BTW, just so today wasn't a total failure, what DID my firmware update actually give me? An "up to date Symbian OS" doesn't count; that has no tangible user value.
Finally, here is my system info, hope it helps the engineers to prevent this problem for other users in the future:

I had the same problem today when trying to restore a full phone memory backup of my Nokia 6680.
All data was restored except contacts data.
The phone went through a repair and the motherboard was changed (=> new IMEI) in a authorized Nokia Service Center.
So the Contacts in Phone Browser were empty.
BUT I FOUND A SOLUTION!
It only works if you have backed up only your contacts (so you have a .nfc file in "C:\Documents and Settings\*YOUR-USER-NAME*\Application Data\Nokia\ContentCopier\".
(Before taking the phone to the repair shop, I made the backup twice - one full backup, and one backup selecting only contacts)
So, if you have the .nfc file, copy it to a separate folder. (If i leaved the .nfc in the same folder with the .nfb, pc-suite-content-copier only sees the .nfb file(s) and the Contacts/images checkboxes are grayed).
After copying the file, in ContentCopier select Browse and select the folder with the .nfc file in it.
Now the checkboxes are not grayed anymore (what a stupidity!), contentcopier says it found a backup file, and you can restore it succesfully.
For precaution, now i will manually copy the c:\system\data\contacts.cdb file, instead of using the **bleep**py content-copier.
IT IS A SHAME NOKIA DIDN'T CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION SINCE AUGUST 2006 ! WE PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THEIR LATEST GENERATION PHONES, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SUPPORT THEY FORGET US! INSTEAD OF HELPING US, THEY TRY TO HIDE THE PROBLEM WITH ANSWERS LIKE "This is a user to user forum" - **bleep**! MAKE IT A USER-TO-USER-AND-NOKIA SUPPORT. THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE WANT!

After I updated my phone I lost all my pictures and the new apps I downloaded. I would really love my pictures back does anyone know how? It said that the backup failed during the process. Is it all lost?

I went to update my phone and after the update I recieved a message that it failed and that the back up failed. I had to restore my phone to stock. I just want to know if there was a possibility to get my pictures back. I tried to get my phone to restore from my last back up but it wouldn't do that either. Does anyone have any ideas. I am really only worried about my pictures and videos I had a couple hundred and they were important.

Thank you. I have been reading about a lot of these occurances and many people have been able to get their pictures back through iexplorer however I am unable to. The error number I got was 50 or something like that. I have a feeling I will not be able to get the pictures back because it said the backup failed after the update failed.

BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.

Hi,
We have a back up that is failing.
The error is "BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE RPS. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.".
As I understand it the backup application log is at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\LOG. From that all I get is
2014-03-05 14:49:29.41 Backup Error: 3041, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2014-03-05 14:49:29.41 Backup BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE myDb. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.
The command I am using is
BACKUP DATABASE [MyDb]
TO DISK = N'D:\Domains\SQL_Backup\DB\myDb\Mydb_FullBackup_20140305_1100.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'mydb-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
The database is Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition (64-bit) Version 9.00.1399.06.
The computer is Windows server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2
The Db is 191 Gb and there is 227 Gb available on the D drive where it's being backed up to.
Any thoughts as to how I can track down the problem.
Is the 227Gb of spare disk space big enough to back up a 191 Gb database?
If not how much is needed?
Thanks

Hello,
Can you apply latest service pack .I dont know but guess that can be issue.Once faced ,not quite sure.Also can you just make your command like
BACKUP DATABASE [MyDb]
TO DISK = 'D:\Domains\SQL_Backup\DB\myDb\Mydb_FullBackup_20140305_1100.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, STATS = 10
GO
Just a simple one .Is backup failing immediately or after some time .Error is not so helpful as it does not shows any information

I have never had this problem before and don't know what to do. I am not that great around computers so if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

If anyone can help woold appreciate it.

This is a standard issue..
Been around since LION but you missed out.. !! Well the old rule applies.. there are three types of Mac users.
1. The bugs have bitten you, and you have done the work arounds.
2. The bugs are biting you and you are now trying to find out what is going on.
3. The bugs will bite you. And in the meantime you laugh at everyone with problems and say it must be all their fault. Doesn't happen to my system.
You were simply in the last group.. now, with the wonders of mavericks to help, you got bit.
The solution is simple.. unplug the power cord from the TC .. count to 10.. power up the TC again.
No luck look at the more technical help.

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.
First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

ICloud backup failed message

Trying to enable iCloud on my new iPhone, I keep getting a message that states: iCloud Backup Failed: There was a problem enabling iCloud storage. Why is this? Also, I can't seem to sync my Address book contacts to iPhone as well. Any advice?
Thanks,
Richard

Same problem here...
I just upgraded my 3GS to iOS5 and signed into iCloud using my Apple ID...
Every time I click "Back Up Now" in the iCloud preferences on the iPhone, I get "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later."
On my wife's iPhone 4, I just performed a back up and there were no errors. I tried this also on my wife's iPad 2 and it worked perfectly.
I have tried the following:
1. In iTunes, when my phone is connected, I selected "Back up to iCloud" on the summary tab
2. Reset my phone using the steps in the above post
3. Deleted the iCloud account on my iPhone and logged in again
4. Tried to backup from 3 different wireless networks
None of the steps above fixed the issue which has been going on all day for me...
Any other help would be great - thanks!

Time machine couldn't complete the backup...

Hi,
My TC backs up three Macs. All of them run 10.8 and are up-to-date. My MBA is unable to perform scheduled backups. A minute or so after Time Machine starts a new backup it pops-up a dialog 'Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Mike's Time Capsule". The backup disk could not be found.'
My Time Capsule is visible in Finder. If I click Open Time Machine Preferences... the window shows the Time Capsule disk and that it has 89GB of 998GB available.
If I then click Select Disk... a new window opens. In the Backup Disks section my Time Capsule is listed as Data on "Mike's Time Capsule". Below that in the Available Disks section there is Data on "Mike's Time Capsule" and Other Time Capsule Set up a Time Capsule that is not listed here.
If I click Data on "Mike's Time Capsule" in the Available Disks section and then Use Disk, the same error dialog reappears immediately.
I've tried removing the disk from the Backup Disks section, turning off Time Machine and then adding the disk again, the error pops up again.
Turning on Time Machine without selecting a disk automatically selects the Time Capsule as a backup, I am asked for the Time Capsule's password and the countdown to the backup starts. After a long period preparing the backup, the first backup will complete normally as will any manual backups, but timed backups all fail with the error that the disk can't be found.
I've turned off Time Machine, deleted the two plist files from Library and tried again. Same problem recurs.
I've even tried turning off Time Machine, removing the whole backup file from the Time Capsule and restarting with no luck.
My other two machines work just fine.
There have been no significant changes to any of my machines or networks recently.
Time Machine Buddy says:
Starting manual backup
Attempting to mount network destination URL: afp://Mike%20Richards;[email protected]/Data
NAConnectToServerSync failed with error: 64 for url: afp://Mike%20Richards;[email protected]/Data
Backup failed with error: 18
The Time Capsule is acting as a router for my wireless network which is used by the MBA and my phone and tablet - no problems connecting to the Internet. Airport Setup shows no problems with the Time Capsule as a router and it is up to date.
So any ideas appreciated - thanks!
Mike.

My Time Capsule is visible in Finder. If I click Open Time Machine Preferences... the window shows the Time Capsule disk and that it has 89GB of 998GB available.
You have done most of what we normally suggest people do..
89GB is the backup size. that is very large for an incremental or is this backup of the full disk again, having been deleted by you on the TC?
Did you happen to upgrade install Mountain Lion onto the Air or is it a clean install?
I would suggest wireless is part of the problem. As a route around the problem, go and buy the USB to ethernet dongle (cheap) or the Thunderbolt to ethernet (fast but expensive), so you can plug the computer into the TC.
Redo the setup of the TC.. even from a full factory reset.
If you are on 7.6.3 firmware be a bit dubious about it.. especially if issues started recently after the upgrade. I would even suggest go back to 7.6.1 before you factory reset.. although that loses the info on which is the cause.
Use naming convention of short, no spaces pure alphanumeric for everything. TCname Wireless name and hard disk share name (already correct with data).
See C9 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
This might be one of the more obscure ones, but I think it isn't helping using names that have spaces and special characters.

WCS - "Configuration Backup" failed. How to debug?

In WCS, the backgroun task "Configuration Backup", to back up configurations from the controllers, is returning a "Backup Failed" message. How do I troubleshoot? Are they detailed logs somewhere, either via the WCS GUI or via the Linux command line?
thanks,

Same problem here...
I just upgraded my 3GS to iOS5 and signed into iCloud using my Apple ID...
Every time I click "Back Up Now" in the iCloud preferences on the iPhone, I get "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later."
On my wife's iPhone 4, I just performed a back up and there were no errors. I tried this also on my wife's iPad 2 and it worked perfectly.
I have tried the following:
1. In iTunes, when my phone is connected, I selected "Back up to iCloud" on the summary tab
2. Reset my phone using the steps in the above post
3. Deleted the iCloud account on my iPhone and logged in again
4. Tried to backup from 3 different wireless networks
None of the steps above fixed the issue which has been going on all day for me...
Any other help would be great - thanks!

HT4859 After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.2, the iCloud backups fails

After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.2, the iCloud backups fails. It appears it is trying to backup the entire 3.1 GB not just new data, thereby exceeding the 5.0Gb limit. I have checked the phone contents on my iMac and there is very little new data so the backup should be successful. I have tried rebooting the phone, which did not help. Phone is not jailbroken. Any suggestions? Thanks....

I have a similar problem, but after following your suggestion of deleting my iphone backup and then turning backup back on again, I needed to plug my phone into my computer to sync the backup. I re-tried to do an icloud backup and it again told me that "the last backup could not be completed"... since I had deleted the backup, it says the "Last backup: never". Ugh. I reconnected my iPhone 4S to my computer and iTunes so I could sync my phone and do a backup... it's still "waiting for sync to start"...
For your iCloud backup, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
If you turned iCloud backup off and try to sync to create a backup on your computer and got a "waiting for sync to start" error, it may be caused by a corrupt backup on your computer. You could try deleting your last backup by opeing iTunes and going to Preferences>Devices, clicking on your last backup and clicking Delete Backup. Then try again.
