Potential work around/temporary fix for "backup did not complete"

Hey guys,
I was able to backup my phone when I first got it and then I tried backing it up one day and it stopped working... after reading online about some apps causing problems, I decided to try and delete some of the latest ones I installed. Doing one at a time I eventually was able to backup, when I thought I found the "bad app" I re-installed one of the first apps I deleted, wouldn't backup again... turns out it wasn't any particular app (in my case).
Anyway! all this to say, that I think I found the issue some people are having. If you're application data is more than 675MB (give or take), Blackberry Link won't backup (for me)... I would backup my phone with whichever app at 672MB's, it would backup no problem, as soon as I would install another one, it would boost it up to 677MB's or above and it would be a no go... no particular app... I'm just guess 675MB, seems like it would make sense as a number.
Anyway, I'm curious if this is the case for other people. What is everyone's application data size at, who are having this issue? If any of you can, try going below 672-675MB and see if it works. Incase you don't know how, to view how many MB's you have, go to Settings within BB Link with your phone selected, and then check "Select data to include in your backup files"... give it a minute or so to load.
Hopefully this can be a fix for some people out there, until BB releases a patch.

Turns out this may be caused by Android Apps sideloaded. Try backing up just your settings. When you in BB Link click the Phone Tab than Click the Settings Gear and you can change what items the phone backs up. Try just the settings at first.
If that works and you have Android apps loaded you may need to remove the Android Apps.
BlackBerry needs to add better error messages or at the very least have error codes. Not having error codes really makes troubleshooting a pain.

TS3992 I have ios 5.1.1 on my iphone 3gs and i can't seem to back up to my icloud. The only error the phone gives me is that the last backup did not complete. This happens even when i attempt to manually back up my phone to the cloud.

I am pretty sure my login information is correct because i see my previous backup on the phone. Any idea's what might cause this?

If you get the message "Backup not successful", I had the same problem.
My solution was to turn off some apps (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap my device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options) and try a manual backup. If it didn't work, turn off a few more apps and try a backup. Keep doing that until the backup works. Then try adding in some of the last batch of apps that were previously turned off - the objective is to find the app that causes the backup to fail. For me, I suspect that the one app I found had a bad data file that, when included in the backup, caused the backup to quit.
This can be a long process if you have a lot of apps that you originally turned on for backups.

Temporary fix for Home Sharing not working!

I installed Mobile Mouse Server on my Mac.
Installed the mobile apps on my iPhone 5 and iPad 2.
With the Mobile Mouse Server running, and the Mac in deep sleep,
Open the Mobile Mouse app on my device, it connects and wakes my Mac.
It's been working for a couple days now!

This has been working EVERY TIME:
Connect your iPad/iPhone to your iMac via Bluetooth when iMac is awake.
Now when iMac is sleeping and
When iTunes shared library doesn't show up, turn on Bluetooth on your iPad/iPhone and click on your iMac connection.
Now I have found whether or not the device connects to the Mac, the connection to the shared library can now be made through the other apps.
Try it, it has worked EVEY TIME.

Itunes stopped working mid download- charged for song- did not recieve

I went onto itunes and purchased a song. Within 5 - 7 seconds of downloading the song an error message apprears saying: iTune has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Unfortunately, Windows has not found a solution. I then go to find my song and it is not there, however, I have been charged for the song.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I decided to go back onto my computer to redownload it, if the songs just didn't get to download fully, and iTunes didn't let me download it again.
Doublechecking. Did you delete the two songs (and their associated files) from your iTunes library prior to attempting the redownload?

Ibooks for mac did not completely sync with my ipad

Hi
I have recently upgraded to Mavericks. I have been looking forwardto this upgrade especially for iBooks. I was surprised to notice onced i had synced that not all the items in my ibooks on my ipad had been syncronised. Some collections, such as the PDFs collection, are empty. Anyone have any answers?

I added some pdfs to Mac iBooks and they don't show on the Books tab of the iPad on iTunes.
I already tried several syncs between iTunes and the iPad, and nothing...
This iBooks program is the worst. Seriously... Apple products are becoming more "buggy" than ever.
Well, lets put the pdfs on the dropbox folder and then open them in iOS iBooks. (and wait for the eternal upload time that dropbox takes to upload whatever we drop in)

Possible temporary fix for mouse scroll wheel problem in Lion

This is a potential temporary fix for those users of Lion who are unable to fix the reversed mouse scroll wheel issue. I myself have a Microsoft Arc Mouse (not the touch version but the original version) and when I went into the mouse system preferences there was no checkmark box option to return the scroll wheel to its original configuration. When I called Apple about it I was told it's an issue with Lion not recognizing the mouse as being able to reverse the scroll wheel and that Microsoft will need to update the firmware to allow for this change. On a whim, I tried out my wife's Logitech mouse (can't remember the model but it's a fairly recent one) and checked the system preferences. This time there was the checkmark box to allow the scroll wheel to be returned to its original configuration and I could use the scroll wheel as normal. When I plugged my Arc Mouse back in, the scroll wheel had reverted to its original configuration of rotate the wheel down for down scroll and up for up scroll.
So, for those of you who are unable to correct your scroll wheel through preferences, you might want to try plugging in another mouse, making the correction in system preferences, and then plug your original mouse back in.

I mean it. Apple makes major changes in the way things have worked for years, then makes that change the default, causing 1m people to struggle. Bad Bad App le.
There other changes like this in Lion as well, which are arbitrary and are "App le" policy now, which even App le themselves do not follow! (e.g. Cmd-Delete for "Don't Save" in a few App le applications, where 900 million people have used Cmd-<first letter of button> already, for years)
And yes, I did have to go next door and borrow a mouse. "Why?" they said... "I have a Mac" I said. "<laughter> get a real computer" they said. App le does itself no favors by pulling this stuff.
Many of us cannot buy new equipment when arbitrary changes are made, and "get a new driver" is a slap in the face, especially when such changes as Reversing scroll for many-millions could easily be done by making the "new way" an Option, not a default.
Don't get me wrong, Mac and iPhone etc are way ahead of MS and all, but the rabid arrogance inside App le is App aulling.

Is Apple still working on a fix for PC?

Because I'm starting to feel it's all a ploy to get people to buy macs.
It used to work right.
P.S...... for every PC/itunes user posting with problems on this board, there's many more of us lurking & waiting for the solution that works to appear on here.

"Is Apple working on a fix for PC?" is actually my question, too.
I'm one of those who has been lurking around for a while reading fixes and suggestions without previously posting. I had previously installed every update of iTunes since 4.7 without any issue. My iPod (a 40g photo) has the newest updates installed. My situation was the seemingly succesful install of the 5.0.1 update at first, then the connection to iPod/ 'please reinstall' error that reinstalling did not correct, and then it stopped working at all.
I was relieved to find this forum and tried every fix I found here... uninstalled completely (including a reg clean), checked my admin login, made sure my Windows XP was completely updated, disabled my antivirus even though I didn't have the file that's supposed to be the problem, disabled firewall, downloaded QT standalone and installed, downloaded iTunes and installed, plenty of restarts in between (always disabling antivirus), etc. Hours gone, same problem. I was eventually able to reinstall 4.9 successfully and re-import my library using a renaming fix found on this site, and that's been working fine for a week or so.
The only issue is that I did have to give my copmuter a second permission to play my iTunes-purchased songs, so I do feel a bit like I was cheated out of my five computer allowance. Are there any possible fixes for this?
Now I've been surfing back through these topics to see if there is any word that Apple is working on the problem or assurance that future updates won't have these issues. I really can't spend another two or three days trying to install an iTunes update that won't work. How will I know if the problem is fixed and a new version is safe to try again? Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks.

Is apple working of a fix for this update error. 8.0.1 needs 610mb of space.

Is apple working of a fix for this update error? 8.0.1 needs 610mb of space. Every time I try to install the latest update, I get this error: "Updating to iOS 8.0.2 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available." There is way more space than that on my phone, (about 12gB) and no matter what i do, I keep getting this error. And what the heck are media sync options?
Also, my phone will not backup, giving me another error. iTunes could not backup this phone, because it could not back up to this computer, or something to that effect. Even trying to manually backup to iCloud, i get the same message about this computer. Seems like it started with the last update to iTunes.

Is Apple working on a fix for editing photos for wallpaper, call contacts with photo, etc? The iPhone used to be so intuitive for everything but that tanked with the ios7 upgrade

iPhone 5 was so intuitive before the update. Editing photos has changed for the worst-any word of a fix for editing photos for wallpaper? Not a work around, a fix. If I wanted this kind of photo editing I'd still be using my droid x.
Anyway to go back to ios6?

After resetting Firefox, all of my PDF files now have the Firefox icon. I don't like this. Is Mozilla working on a fix for this?

As stated, I used the reset feature in Firefox and immediately afterward the icon on all of my PDF files changed to the Firefox icon. Hopefully Mozilla is working on a fix for this??

This solved my problem. Got my Adobe icons back. Hope the other people having the same problem see this solution - it was pretty painless compared to some of the other solutions I read about.
Thanks Philipp.

Is Apple working on a fix for ios6 that will stop it from using huge data in the iphone 4s?

When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to ios6, it started using huge amounts of data. My provider refuses to reimburse me. Today they told me that Apple has acknowledged the problem and has fixed it in ois6.3. However, ois6.3 is unavailable for the 4s, and my provider tells me that Apple has not acknowledged that the problem exists in the 4s. They referred me to Apple. However, because the phone is off warranty, I will have to pay $35 + tax to talk to an Apple rep--and surely Apple knows the problem extends to the 4s, because it is widely discussed on-line. I have not seen any reference to whether Apple is working on a fix for the 4s. Does anyone know? I can't afford this much longer and am going to have pay a lot of money to switch phones. And when I switch phones, it won't be an Apple, which will also make me sad--but it is ridiculous for them to produce a problem that is costing so much money and then not to acknowledge it exists. I am hoping that having addressed it in the 5, they will now turn to the 4s. Does anyone know?

Yeah, the 6.0.2 update was rolled out to deal with that issue amongs others. But getting it out for the older models was either not high priority or more complex than they anticipated. So the wait continues till it shows up on the update channel.
Pestering Apple Support might not get it done quicker, but at least will offer some sort of vicarious revenge and relief.

Work around/Alternate solution for Oracle error ORA-01460 and ORA-02063

After the installation of Oracle.DataAccess version 2.111.7.20, I get the following error.(the code worked fine with Oracle.DataAccess version 9.2.0.700 )
I have attached the error as well as the sample code.
ORA-01460 and ORA-02063 are known bugs in the new ODP but would like to know if there is any Work around/Alternate solution for this problem(other than
the use of stored procs)..
Thanks!
Error:
ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested

Valid_FieldData_Command.Parameters.Add(":agencyname", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 255).Value = agencyName;
Valid_FieldData_Command.Parameters.Add(":fieldnumber", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 255).Value = fieldNumber;
Valid_FieldData_Command.Parameters.Add(":uniqueid", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 255).Value = uniqueID;
mBSConnection.Open();
oRdr = Valid_FieldData_Command.ExecuteReader(); ->Error occurs here
The error occurs whenever the length of any of the parameter is increased. But there is no specific length where it is breaking down.
For example in this case, it breaks down with the given error if
agencyID > 8
agencyName > 6
fieldNumber > 9
uniqueid > 6

The problem was mapping input parameter type.
VARCHAR2-type mapping input parameter works with String-type PF parameter. But CHAR-type won't.

Is Apple working on bug fixes for IOS 8.0.2? Wish I had NOT updated! Terrible on IPad2!

IS Apple working on bug fixes for IOS 8.0.2? It is terrible on IPad2, wish I had NOT updated!

Since "upgrading" to iOS8.x my IPad2 is so slow and buggy. If the old hardware can't handle the new iOS, Apple should say so.
