Problem with time reset

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a lumia 1520 black this weekend. However, I keep having problems with the time and date setting. Whether I use the automatic setting or not, the time keeps resetting a couple times a day to some time on the 20th of july 2013. Even if I reset it, it keeps coming back some time later. As you can imagine this is very annoying. Anyone knows how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance,
Bart

Try a soft reset by holding both the Power and Volume Down buttons pressed until the phone vibrates and restarts. If that doesn't help, I would suggest taking it back to point of purchase or to a Nokia Care Point to have it checked/repaired.

Problem with Time Capsule after backup session

I have a problem with Time Capsule after a backup session. Our two Macs (on Maverick) loose connection with the station and the only thing that seems to help is unplugging the Time Capsule and starting it again! After the next backup session the same thing happens again. The Macs seem not to be able to hold on to the connection and continually loose it. The iPhones and iPads that we have (4 units) are not affected - it is the Mac Mini and Mac Powerbook that experiences this problem!
I would be grateful for your help!

This is standard Mac issues and has been a bug floating around since Lion.. it hits some people worse than others.. but once it starts it is awful hard to get rid of.
Just to confirm the connection to internet is not a problem?? Just the hard disk drops out?
I recommend you
1. Reset the TC to factory.. and start over with all new names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
TC name and wireless name/s should conform. By default the disk share name is data which is fine.
2. Mavericks has changed over from using AFP to SMB for network filesharing.. why Apple why??
This is unhelpful to say the least. Many many people are struggling with TC and being unable to mount the network drive.
So do it manually and force it back to AFP.
In Finder use top menu, Go, Connect to Server.
Type AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress (it must be the network name of actual TC.. or its IP address)
When the computer locates the resource it will ask for a password.. it is public by default.. supply your password or public and save it in the keychain.
3. Delete the existing TM setup and start over.. See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
I cannot promise this will fix it but should reduce the problem to now and then.. rather than every time TM needs to backup.

Problem with Time Capsule backup

My Time Capsule is a first gen (500 GB), and I recently upgraded to Lion on my iMac. It seems like right around the time I upgraded that I started having problems with Time Machine backups. They will complete, but then the disk does not eject from my desktop. I am running the Time Capsule buddy widget, and here's the log file:

I finally resolved this. However, I had to erase the entire backup on my 3tb and start with a new backup. I connected via hardwire to make it go faster. No problems now.

Since I upgraded to 10.7.2 lion I have these problems with Time Capsule. What is the problem? thanks

Another problem with Time Machine

This is the second time I have experienced the following problem with Time Machine. After 2 months of backups it gets to a point where backups fail and I cannot enter time machine. In each instance I have only used 110GB of the 500GB space.
Is there a better solution to fixing this problem than deleting the sparsebundle? That seems to be the only way to get it to back up again.

backup is failing again:

A series of problems with Time Capsule

I was an early adopter of Apple's "Time Capsule," which in theory sounds like a great idea but has been a disaster for me in practice. This is the story of my nightmare.
In theory, Time Capsule is supposed to enable wireless, automatic backups of my hard drive via wifi. I liked the idea because I thought it would save me time and make backups so convenient that they'd be sure to happen.
In practice, it's been slow, aggravating and buggy as ****.
After I bought the device, I brought it home and set it up to do the initial backup of my laptop computer. My first mistake, as I learned later, was to try to do the initial backup wirelessly. The Time Capsule has an Ethernet connection that works faster than the wireless connection. (It ought to have a USB or Firewire port, which would be far faster than Ethernet, but apparently the Apple gods decided to save a nickle at the expense of quality and convenience.) It would also have been nice if the manual that came with the thing recommended using Ethernet for the initial backup, but it didn't, so I didn't discover that this was even an option until I had already wasted several days.
Yes, days. Not hours, but days.
I started the initial backup on a Wednesday night. My laptop's hard drive had about 130 gigabytes of files on it, and after the initial backup had run for a couple of hours, I did a calculation based on megabytes/minute and figured that it should finish up sometime that weekend. This meant that I couldn't take my laptop away from the house or turn it off, but after I'd already invested a few hours in the process, I figured I'd just let it run until completed.
Unfortunately, the longer the backup proceeded, the slower the megabytes/minute rate became. By the following Monday morning, it was only 2/3 completed, and the copy rate had slowed to such a crawl that I had no idea when it would finish. I therefore reluctantly interrupted the process, since I had meetings to attend where I needed my computer.
By that time, I had done some further research online and learned that people were recommending doing the initial backup via Ethernet, so when I got home that Monday night, I decided to do it that way instead of via wifi. However, it was unable to resume the interrupted backup, so I had to start over from scratch. Over the course of several attempts to do this, I discovered moreover that the interrupted backup had corrupted the disk somehow, so eventually I had no choice but to erase the Time Capsule entirely before beginning a new backup. Each of these attempts took a half hour or an hour, so I wasted my Monday evening doing nothing but try and retry to start the backup. (Somewhere in the middle of this I also did a tech support call to Apple, which also meant time on the phone, sitting on hold, etc.)
Finally, sometime on Tuesday I got the backup started, and by late that evening I had my first incremental backup. Hooray! Or so I thought.
The thing ran OK for a month or so, and then for no apparent reason I discovered that backups were failing. Why? No idea. I called Apple tech support again. An hour or so on hold, then talking to an operator, then trying various things. Eventually the tech support guy told me I'd have to erase the hard drive again and do a new initial backup. Great. At least I knew by then that I'd need to do it via Ethernet, but of course it took the better part of a day for the backup to run, and starting over meant losing all of the history in my previous backups. But I did it.
After that, I had a good run for several months...maybe six months. Then, for no apparent reason, the backups started failing again. This time I managed to get the backups working again by unplugging the Time Capsule, plugging it back in, and doing some reset procedures.
A month later, the Ethernet connection started failing.
I have an old iMac upstairs that I plugged in to the Ethernet connection so it can access the internet and file-share with my laptop. One day I noticed that the iMac's internet connection was no longer working. After some testing, it turned out that neither the iMac nor my laptop is able to connect anymore through the Ethernet connection. I tried several cables, tried playing around with settings, to no avail. I had a trip to Hong Kong coming up, so I decided I'd worry about the Ethernet connection after I got home.
On the Saturday before my Monday morning flight to Hong Kong, my laptop died.
It was working fine on Friday evening. I went to bed, got up, and the screen was black. In a panic, I drove to the Apple store and, after much pleading, got them to look at the thing in a hurry. Their tests showed that the logic board was bad. Fortunately, they had a replacement in stock, so they were actually able to repair the laptop in only two hours.
Since then, however, I haven't been able to get backups to work at all on my Time Capsule.
When the laptop died, I figured I might need to restore files from the Time Capsule, so I unplugged it and took it with me on my frantic drive to the Apple Store. After I brought it home and plugged it back in, the laptop recognizes that it exists, but instead of doing an imcremental backup, Time Machine wants to start all over with a backup of more than 140 gigabytes.
No ******* way.
My plan at this point is to make an appointment at the Apple Store and take it in to someone at their Genius Bar. Maybe they can figure out why Ethernet isn't working and why the incremental backups aren't happening. In the meantime, I don't know if any of the backups that it has done to date are any good, so it's an uneasy feeling. And, of course, I've wasted more time than I care to think about just tweaking and nursing the thing.
It just isn't worth it.
If anyone has any suggestions for what I should be trying at this point, I'd love to hear advice.

I've got some time here as I wait on my computer (more on that in a moment), so in the meantime I re-read Smokerz's reply to my message. Upon re-reading, I thought I'd respond again.
Smokerz is saying basically that Time Capsule is great for purposes OTHER than backing up my computer's hard drive: "Make your primary TM backup using an external FW800 drive first. ... I don't do TM on TC but use TC as my internet file server for my family who all lives far from one another and stream movies to my ATV. Much better use of TC, eh?"
There might be a case for that use of Time Capsule, but the product is advertised and sold primarily as a wireless backup device. The main page for the product on apple.com describes it as "Automatic wireless backup for your Mac. ... Time Capsule is a revolutionary backup device that works wirelessly with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard. It automatically backs up everything, so you no longer have to worry about losing your digital life."
Smokerz is therefore arguing that I should be happy with a product that doesn't work for the purpose for which it is primarily advertised and for which I bought it. I don't have any use for it as an internet file server or to stream movies. To say I should be happy with it for those purposes makes no sense.
Here's a little update on my experience with this thing. I made an appointment and visited the Genius Bar at the Apple Store yesterday. My appointment was at 10:40. I spoke with *** ****, who by the way is "Lead Genius" at the West Towne story in Madison, WI. I've got no problems with him. Like every other Apple employee I've dealt with locally, he was competent, courteous and and helpful. He quickly fixed my Ethernet problem, but the more important problem -- the failure to connect to my existing backups -- left him stumped as it did me. The problem apparently is that when Time Machine uses the MAC address of your computer's logic board as part of its way of identifying your system. There is a file on the backup drive that stores this information. It's filename consists of a period followed by the old MAC address. There is a procedure for renaming that file and changing some other settings which is supposed to make the backup work again. The procedure is detailed here:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6893237
The problem in my case is that the file was missing when I went looking for it. (I hadn't been mucking around on my Time Capsule, so I don't see any way that I could possibly have deleted it.)
After some scratching his head, *** asked me to leave my computer and Time Capsule with him at the Apple Store and come back at 2:30 that afternoon. When I returned, not much progress had been made. He had found a way to make Time Machine do another initial backup from scratch within the same sparsebundle as my older backups and thought that once that backup completed, there would be a way to connect up with the the older backups. By 2:30, however, the backup had only completed 4 GB out of the 130 gigs on my hard drive. The Apple Store closes at 9 p.m., so I would have had to leave it with them overnight just to get through that stage of the process. I think I mentioned previously that I live an hour's drive from the Apple Store, and since I had already burned another entire day trying to get this thing working, I had *** give it back to me so I could take it home and try to complete the procedure myself.
Once I got it home, I let the backup run overnight. It took about 12 hours to complete. Now I'm going through the procedure *** gave me, which is documented in a little more detail here on Sean Kelly's blog:
http://seankelly.tv/blog/blogentry.2008-08-25.8041499927
I just finished spending an hour waiting for the computer to open my sparsebundle (step three of Sean Kelly's procedure). Only six more steps to go!

Suggestions, Observations and problem with Time Capsule shares

*Some Observations*
The Time Capsule can take a long time to become active. This is especially true if using an extended or WDS network. I would suspect this is due to the negotiation between devices that it needs to do. I have on occasion believed it to be hung, only to find that after walking away for a bit it comes up. This also impacts devices showing up in the Airport utility.
Using a time capsule with one Airport Express B/G will work, but adding a second creates problems.
Extending a network with an Airport Express N seems to work well.
Best bet is to set up separate B/G and N networks and run your N network as N only at 5Ghz.
WEP provides no real security, so think of it as you would an open network.
*My Issue*
I am having an issue where the time capsule shares become unavailable. It is an intermittent issue, and I have been unable to identify a test case. This happens for devices connected over ethernet as well as wireless. The Time Capsule shows in the Finder list, but the volumes are not available. Connecting to them fails.
The device also appears in the Airport Utility list, but when clicking on Manual Setup, or guided set up, it causes a hang.
This results in Time Machine hanging when trying to initiate a backup.
I have also noticed that when this happens, the signal does start to get a bit flaky with "Roam (Beacons Lost)" messages. Wireless connectivity still seems to be very useable though. I can connect to other network shares through the Time Machine, but not to the shares on the Time Machine. The only way to recover from this is to power cycle the Time Capsule.
One thing I want to investigate more tonight is whether there are any issues with my keychain and old passwords in case there are multiple failed attempts in the mix that are doing something. Although I know of no lockout feature on the device.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is the second Time Machine, so I have seen this on two different devices. I am also seeing this issue across 4 different computers simultaneously, some via ethernet and some wirelessly. Time Capsule is 7.3.2

Hi,
I have pretty much the same problem, 1TB Time Capsule that works fine most of the time as a wireless router. Up till recently Time Machine backups just worked (as one would expect them to) wired and wireless. I went away for a week came back and now every time Time Machine invokes a back up process all of a sudden my wireless network goes down, Time Machine can no longer see the Time Capsule and all other devices (iphone / apple TV other non apple devices) no longer have connections (they see wireless but no pass through to the internet or each other).
I have tried resetting all sorts of stuff, re-deployed my network, changed IP / LAN settings to make it less complex, Yasu'd my mac, connected only via wires, cleaned out my keychain etc etc and still get the same problems and as per Chris's point airport utility also hangs and the only solution is rebooting the time capsule.
I am fairly frustrated with this! any suggestions / help would be gratefully accepted.
thanks
alex

Problem with Time Capsule WIFI Network

Here's what happened to me suddenly at 15.
I have 1 TB Time Capsule connected to DLINK adsl modem. Time Capsule is connected by Ethernet to a PC, by wireless an iMac, MacBook, PC Notebook, 2iPhones, 1 iPad. Password-protected network.
Start the iPhone to tell me that the password for network access is not right. Therewrite, same problem. It does not connect anymore. Then I try with iPad. Even theycan not surf, it asks me the password, says "Unable to access the network xxx".
I go to the PC and I have no problem connecting. I turn on the notebook, same problem, does not accept passoword and can not connect. Restart the iMac and thenworked up and surprise me asking for the password of the wireless network, I enterthe correct password, and does not connect.
Recovery Time Capsule, change the network name etc etc. ...
same Problem
Am referring again, do I reset everything, I create new network ..
With PC and iphone does not change anything, not even with iPad, beginning with the iMac is connected, but the connection is very slow ... and then stops.
When I connected the iMac via Ethernet and even navigate without any problems.
So I think that something is broken or damaged at the wireless Time Capsule.Yesterday I updated Airport Utility ... maybe you can 'hit something?
I also googled and I read that many TC died after 18 months. I have bought for Christmas 2010 ... and have now gone 18 months!

Maybe now it's ok. The problem was caused by the utility airport update on my Pc with Windows 7. I installed 5.5.2 version again, and now no problem with all devices.
Anyone can explain me if is it possible?

Problem with Time Machine Backup or Maybe Not Time Machine

The problem manifests after a Time Machine backup.
I have an iMac 24-inch, Early 2008. iMac 8,1
Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM.
Last week I purchased two 4-Terabyte G-technology G-Drives. Each drive is equip with FireWire 800 and USB 3.0/2.0. In general use they seem to work fine on the iMac.
I designated one drive as a Time Machine Volume. This is where the problem happens.
Time Machine will do the initial backup just fine. Then it runs once per hour with no problem. Intermittently however, Time Machine will fail and report :
“Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “hard disk name”.
Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.”
Interestingly enough if I try to open a folder on the Time Machine volume using the Finder I get:
“The operation can’t be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -50).
If I try to eject the volume I get the irksome “Cannot eject volume because it’s currently in use by one or more programs.”
To resolve this I’ve tried everything, from the banal verifying permissions, to swapping the two G-Drives around, swapping out all the cables, etc.. When the error occurs I go into the shell and check with lsof and always find no software apparently holding or using that volume.
Very frustrating
I can force eject the volume, then remount the volume and things are back to normal. Same with restarting.
This happened under OS X Mountain Lion and is now happening under a clean install of Mavericks.
I thought that even though I don’t see any MDS related processes using the drive, it might be spotlight, so I told spotlight not to index the volume. Problem still happens.
I’ve found that one person had almost this exact same problem at:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4756742
His solution turned out to be replacing the G-Drive with another brand new G-Drive.
Unfortunately, I cannot return the drives to the Apple store because the boxes were tossed out. I also don’t relish trying to explain that the drives work just fine until some glitch that occurs either just before or just after a Time Machine backup.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can also contact G-Drive while the drives are under warranty (one year I believe).
I have the same problem using Time Machine with the 2T G-Drive and my MacBook Pro. G-Tech emailed me a Firmware Update Utility app and, when that didn't solve the error message problem, they sent me a replacement drive and new cables, twice. The problem persisted; I get one or two backups each day and then the error message. I also can't copy anything to the drive and have to force eject it, so G-Tech suggested I see how well it worked with the USB cable.
Time Machine works flawlessly with the USB cable and the G-Drive, so G-Tech suggested it is a problem with my Firewire 800 port. I worked with Apple Care over the phone, doing all the tests suggested in Eric's post - testing with Disk Utility, Time Machines interface with my User Accounts, the Operating System, then resetting Time Machine, etc. and then I took it to the Genius Bar so they could run the tests themselves. All looked like it should be fine (but they were using a 1T G-Drive and all testing was done within 30 minutes)...when I got home, after two good backups, I got the error message again.
Apple Care finally suggested I make a Genius Bar appointment and sit at the store working with my MacBook, the G-Drive and Time Machine running until I got the error message, to prove the only thing left that could possibly be the cause of the problem, is the port. I did this last Wednesday.
It is 9 days later and I got my computer back this afternoon...the logic board was replaced because the Firewire 800 port is attached to it...I got my first Time Machine back up at 5:34pm...and the error message again at 7:34pm.
The only solution, it seems, is to use the USB cable instead of Firewire. USB and Thunderbolt seem to be the direction Apple is taking, which is why so many people have been posting about this problem, here and elsewhere, with no real solutions from Apple. See this article: http://www.infoworld.com/t/mac-laptop/how-cope-the-end-of-firewire-205957
I hope the USB works for you too.

Problems with itunes resetting

i have had itunes for about 2 years and have not had one problems with it. i have not downloaded and new itunes software. for some reason this started a couple days ago. every time when i close out of it, it resets everything. i have to add all the music again from the itunes folder, but it resets it every time. once i restarts it will ask me to agree to the software license agreement. i have tryed to uninstall itunes, and then reinstalled it, but that did not do any good. any ideas on what it could be?
btw if it matters i have windowsXP pro.

I didn't say it had anything to do with the music itself. What I said was it sounds like iTunes can not write to the folder where it keeps the database files that store all the info about your library INCLUDING about podcasts.
Anything you do in iTunes is stored in that database file. Which songs, movies, and podcasts are in the library, play counts, date added, ratings, playlists, etc. If you start with an empty library, add a bunch of stuff to it (including podcasts) then exit iTunes and it can not write that information to the database files, next time you open iTunes it will show an empty library again.
So again, while this might not be the issue you are having, have you checked the read/write permissions of the iTunes folder? Make sure the folder is not read only and make sure your user account has access to it under the security tab.

Problems with Time Machine backup for two machines to one external drive

I have a brand new WD 500GB USB My Book external drive plugged into my Intel Mac Mini running 10.5.1 to use as a TM backup drive (TM reformatted it to HFS+ journaled). The Mini's connected by ethernet to the Airport Extreme. It works great. I setup my wife's MacBook Pro 17" Dual Core 2 w. 10.5.1 for TM using the Mac Mini's TM backup drive and it works fine (a little slower at 811.n wi-fi speeds, but OK). I have the Mac Mini setup in Energy Saver to shut down at night and restart in the morning. The morning after I setup my wife's MacBook Pro for TM I found a big black & white message (in half a dozen languages) on the Mac Mini saying start up failed and I need to reboot using the power button. I did and everything was cool. Now comes the problem, it's done it three days in a row so it looks like there is a problem with the TM setup. It didn't do this before I setup my wife's computer for TM.
Any thoughts on what is causing this? We've had minimal problems with Leopard setup (short of a brief hunt for an Airport Extreme Drive and a couple of network printers during initial setup).

1 mistake @ a time wrote:
I works fine over a network if the TM drive is attached to another Mac running Leopard. It won't work with an Airport drive (Apple deep sixed that feature in the final release).
We have an Airport Extreme base station, and we plan to add an Airport Express to boost the power to reach the second floor. We are ordering 4 iMacs, 20", plus I have the Macbook 13" that I have had for a few months.
We thought we could connect one large external drive via firewire cable to one of the iMacs and use it to back up all five computers via Time Machine.
Is that possible, or does everybody need their own external drive?
Thanks!
