Problems reverting to backup

I just reformatted my iBook (from Tiger to Tiger, just wanted to freshen up). I backed up my iCal before I did this.
I'm now trying to revert iCal to my back up. I'm able to open the file, and it starts to load, but the progress bar just spins perpetually. I left it for about 1.5 hours, and no progress. The data 'seems' to load--I can see the details of one of my calendars in the drawer, but can't see the list of calendars or any of the events.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Luke,
1. Create a New Calendar in the source list window, and make sure that you click on the Calendar Name after appropriately naming the calendar.
2. Control + Click on your iCal.icbu file.
3. Select "Show Package Contents" from the Contextual Menu.
4. Click on the folder "Sources" to reveal folder(s) with names like....4A1DC586-14EC-4D42-B659-BEBA31968385.calendar.
5. Inside these folders will be corestorage.ics files.
6. Drag and Drop the corestorage.ics files directly in your iCal window.
Since it is not obvious what calendars are represented by individual corestorage.ics files you will have to experiment/adjust the results by renaming calendars and or using the Edit>Undo Import command.

Problem reverting to backup/address book archive

I created an address book archive on my home computer (desktop), transferred that backup file to my laptop, and tried to revert my address book on the laptop to the new backup file. it doesn't work. I'm using OS 10.5.7 on the desktop, and 10.4.11 on the laptop... is that why the backup won't install on the laptop? do they need to be the same OS? I have the same problem with my ical backup. My ical and address books are up to date on my desktop computer, and I really want to put all that info on my laptop as well. is there another way to go about this? please help, thanks!

Greetings,
If memory serves me, Address Book for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 are different versions, so you can't overwrite one with a backup from the other. If you want to get the contacts from the 10.5 version into the version for 10.4 on your laptop, you would need to open Address Book on your Desktop, select the All group and drag it to your Desktop to create one vCard with all your contacts in it.
Then you can transfer it to the laptop, launch Address Book on it, then drag & drop the vCard onto Address Book to import those contacts.

Unless you have a computer backup you can use to restore your previous iPhone backup, sorry, your data is gone.

Backup Error: "There was a problem completing the backup."

Trying to get my iPad 2 to backup to iCloud and get a message that says "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later." Tried signing out of iCloud and then signed back in. Still have the problem. My iPhone backs up to iCloud on the same WiFi network without a problem.

1 ipod touch has this error. Another one will backup but shows the date as unknown. An iPad works fine. I can't believe it is a server error. I can run the iPad backup at the same time as the others and it works. Also I restored the touches to factory and the backups still failed. Swapped AppleID's and the errors followed the Id's. I wish there was a way to validate that the backups were good on the web side. In the manage storage on the one that fails completely, it show there is a backup with a size and allows you to turn off the apps that are backed up but I know it has never completed successfully. Even iTunes updates the date of the backup in the summary panel even though it has failed. This feedback in iTunes Summary and the Manage panel on the device could give a false sense of security. This needs some fixing from Apple. At least iTunes backups are working as I have restored aa few times now under iOS 5/iTunes 10.5.

"There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup"

I currently have an iPad 2, and my husband has an iPod Touch (not sure of the generation - its about a year old). As of tomorrow, we'll both have iPhone 4S's. We both use my iTuned account for purchasing apps and music. I've finally got iOS 5 up and running on my iPad, with iCloud linked to my iTunes account. I've got my husband's iPod Touch updated with iOS 5. I set it up with his old iTunes account, and put my iTunes account into the 'Store' part of the settings, as the 'Apple IDs and iCloud' document suggested to do. But when I try to set his iPod Touch to backup to iCloud, I get the following error: "iCloud Backup Failed. There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup."
Any suggestions? Am I misunderstanding how I'm supposed to be doing this? It's not a huge deal with the iPod Touch, but I want to get this figured out before tomorrow, so that I can set it up so that my iPad and iPhone both sync to one iCloud account, and his iPod Touch and iPhone sync to a different one.

@uzagaku yes this works, and that's the only way to re-enable iCloud backup actually. No need to disable encryption, that's only for further local backups. But thanks for pointing out to that iCloud setting in iCloud .. I should have looked there immediately, obviously. As soon as it's activated there, the setting syncs on iOS. Remains that enabling iCloud backup from iOS should of course be possible, so there's still a huge bug there.

Back up error: "There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup."

Keep getting this error when trying to backup iphone 5 to icloud: "There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup."

It looks like you need to install iOS 6.0.1 that was released yesterday. You can find more information here: http://lighthousetechnologies.com/blog/software-testing-iphone-5-bug-upgrade

Everytime I try to turn on icloud on my 4s so I can backup my contacts to restore to my new iphone5

Re: There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup

Why do repeatedly get this message when trying to turn on iCloud Backup on my iPad: There was a problem enabling iCloud Backup?

You really do have to sync after enabling iCloud on the device in iTunes. I just clicked Apply after enabling iCloud and it gave the error in the thread title. Went back to my PC, disabled it, synced, enabled it, synced, then synced to iCloud from the device and it worked a treat.

Problem with full backup with copy only in maintenance plan sql server 2008

Hello
I am starter DBA for sql server in general
I have problem related to backup with maintenance plan in sql server 2008 and 2008 r2
I created maintenance plan to take full back up with copy only option checked, but when I check the back up in backupset table is_copy_only column it shows 0 for databases that I run job for.
I did the same steps on sql server 2012 and I checked backupset table is_copy_only column it shows 1 for databases that I run job for .so it works as it should be
Note: all the servers I mention here are production servers

Copy-only Backup by using GUI ( SSMS) in SQL Server 2008 but it was not available in Maintenance Plan "Back
Up Database Task". Now in SQL Server 2012 It is included in "Back Up Database
Task".

I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup Disk for Time Machine disconnecting itself with the message that I ejected it improperly.. It ejected itself - why?

I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup drive to Time Machine ejecting itself and so does not automatically backup the way it is meant to do. It is connected with an USB cable to my iMac. What could cause this - malfuntioning drive?

The "iLife" apps are not part of any Mac operating system install and are a separate purchase.
Once you get past 10.6.6 you can purchase and download iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie. iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued.
Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and higher include the App Store application which is what you use to purchase Lion.

There was a problem enabling icloud backup (settings crashes)

I have an iPhone 4S with IOS 7.1.2 and i've been able to backup my phone prior to updating to IOS8.
After installing IOS 8 my phone became really slow and unusable and I went back to iTunes and did a full restore.
I've been able to get everything working again except the iCloud backup.
It was enabled after a fresh install but never actually backed anything up:
"there was a problem with icloud backup" and a daily backup is never performed.
The phone is fully charged
Connected to wifi
Whenever I try to backup manually it also fails.
I tried to disable icloud backup and enable it again but that didn't work either as now SETTINGS crashes everytime I enable the icloud backup setting.
any suggestions?

Make sure to change your backup selection in iTunes to icloud...you can't backup your phone to icloud unless iTunes is set to icloud.

Backup Error - 0x810000E4 Windows Backup has encountered a problem with the backup catalog

Dear all,
I'm trying to backup my files onto a 2TB big external USB disk. My computer is Dell Latitude E4300.
When I run the backup, it runs normally but ends with this error:
0x810000E4 Windows Backup has encountered a problem with the backup catalog
When checking the zip files on the USB drive, it seems that only some of the files have been backed up. The same confirms the restore option when I browse the files in the backup.
When I start the backup again, it continues - i.e. acknowledges the files already there and backs up a additional files but again fails after some time.
Any ideas please.
Thank you,
Tomas

Hello Tomas,
This is not expected.
Could you please collect the backup failure traces from %windir%\Logs\WindowsBackup and send them to my mail-id -
[email protected] (pl. remove -nospam phrase from the id to get the correct one).
Thanks,

Time machine backup problem with company backup.

I have serious problems with making backups of our company computers by Time Machine.
We have Synology NAS with Time Machine Support. When I made setting for Time Machine backups (users, shares, quotas, etc. ) ewerything worked fine. All Time machines uses one directory, that appears on the network like a Time capsule. Machines have their own accounts with quotas etc. After a few days started many problems. Some Time Machines has missed their target sparsebundles and unsuccessfully tried write into some others. After Time Machine restart and new manual setting problem persisting. Only successfull solution is complete remove all affected sparsebundles (miss all older backups) and make new ones. This problems appears on many different computers with various OSX version 10.6 - 10.8.
Can you help me with this problem?

I have used OS X Server on an Xserve and gained the impression that it did little that OS X would not do. Earlier versions had a fairly easy to use GUI but as it developed it became more tedious and unreliable than using OS X on the same hardware. It was far from cheap for unlimited users even with educational discounts.
At one time OS X Server was more advanced than the same version number OS X - about half a version ahead.
I am not saying that it may not be faster to set up if you have had previous OS X Server experience but it is a steep learning curve after only OS X experience. The average user would get there faster with one of the many tutorials on the web about using OS X as a server.
At one time OS X Server had a security bug in that it confused FTP root with machine root under some conditions leaving the whole disk open to the public.
