Reproducible Sloooooow Backup Bug (how do I submit a bug report?)

I've been having incredibly slow backup problems with my iPad. My wife was foolish enough to leave her iPad here today, so I'm doing some experiments, and I think I've identified the problem.
Her system had 2.5 gigs of stuff on it, and took less than 2 minutes to backup in iTunes on my desktop computer. I added ComicZeal, and copied 2 gigs of comics (261 issues) onto the machine. It took 90 minutes to back up.
Delete the comics, less than a minute to backup.
Add two gigs of music, less than 5 minutes to back up.
Add back two gigs of Comic Books in ComicZeal, and I gave up on the backup at the 75 minute mark (about 2/3 through).
So how do I file an official bug report?

Yep, this is consistent with what I'm seeing with cloudreader (and other pdf readers the in this case the files were pdfs but also coincidentally comic files as above). After an excruciating first back up the first time I synced, subsequent backups were reasonable (5-10 mins).. until I added a large number of pdfs to various installed pdf readers via itunes app sync tab (I was testing the different apps to see how they handled large pdfs). Adding the files to itunes took minutes but the subsequent backup the next time took hours - I've been following the hidden backup folder and the new back up files are similar in size to the pdfs. Using the time stamps on the backup files, one 100meg file took about 20 minutes to back up. I've tried both the original ipad cable and my iphone cable but little difference in speed. By contrast, my 8gb iphone backs up in 5 minutes is full but does not have any pdfs stored on it.
So Apple either needs to speed up / fix the sync or at least give the user more control over what is and isnt backed up.

FAQ: How do I submit a bug report or feature request or otherwise give feedback about Premiere Pro?

The best way to submit a bug report or feature request is to use the bug-report/feature-request form.
The Premiere Pro team doesn’t necessarily see and record every post on every forum and social network, but we do see, record, and track every entry through the the official feature-request/bug-report form.
It also helps a lot if you opt into the Product Improvement Program.
Also, be sure to use the crash reporter.
We really do read all of the bug reports and feature requests, and the software really does get a lot of benefit from detailed crash reports.
Don’t forget about contacting Adobe Technical Support or Customer Service, too. For information on how to contact Adobe Technical Support, see this page. (Note that you must register your product before you can open a technical support case for it.)

How do I submit a bug to microsoft for TEE

I'm not sure but I think I may have found a bug in TEE on Linux. The
question on stackoverflow was answered but I've just run into the same problem when trying to merge our trunk to my branch. In short, the root of the problem is that was a directory named
Directory. Over the course of time, our naming conventions changed and this directory became named
directory (the case change). Interestingly, two files (a *.cpp and *.h) somehow were still associated with the first directory name though the directory named was changed and preserved the new case. The problems should be apparent for Linux
users.
Now, as the link I provided mentions, I did try to fix this by using the tf rename command, but after the command was executed to rename the first file, I could do nothing more using TEE because of this error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/andy/devel/project/directory/code.cpp (No such file or directory). Ok, I just moved on. A coworker executed the very same command from a Visual Studio Command Prompt and it worked and he was
able to check in the named files. "Great," I thought, I'll merge with main and continue. I did so using the
tf merge -recursive <source_branch> <dest_branch> and promptly ran into the same problem when trying to do
tf status and any other tf command.
It seems that there might be a bug in how metadata is handled in this case when using TEE in Linux. How can I submit this to Microsoft?

How do I submit a bug to apple? Is there some kind of link?

I just spent the last six months encoding and embedding album art to all my music/movie files using a app purchased from the app store. All album art showed up in pre-iTunes 11 and all played just fine. After upgrading to iTunes 11, every music/movie file that starts with the letter A and B have missing album art. The rest of my files are ok. When I navigate to finder/iTunes/movie album art embedded file shows up ok with album art. I need to submit a bug report to Apple. How would I go about this?

How do I submit a bug report?

There is a plethora of bugs in CC.
For instance, CC keeps pushing updates that I have already installed. I've seen other discussions regarding this phantom update issue in this forum. One discussion was no help at all and in another, two Adobe staff members offered, well, nothing really as they only guessed at some 'would be' solutions. Both employes failed to resolve the issue.
In CC this is just the tip of the iceberg.
While Adobe has made and continues to make incredibly useful, professional and fluid products, the new Creative Cloud service sucks! So far, I cannot find meaningful answers/resolutions in this forum. A cloud service is a very different beast compared to Adobe's traditional offerings. That new beast needs attention.
So, where can I file a comprehensive bug report where I could submit detailed analyses and keep track of them?
Best regards,
Mario Marceau

Hi Romsinha,
Thank you for your suggestion but I already knew about that link. What I should haved mentioned is that on that page, in the "Product Name" selector pictured here (which must be set before proceeding further),
there is NO OPTION AVAILABLE for "Adobe Creative Cloud" or "Creative Cloud" or anything remotely related to the cloud service. There is also no "Other" option. All the products I own in that list work fine. So, again, where can I file a comprehensive bug report where I could submit detailed analyses and keep track of (my ticket) for the Creative Cloud product?
Creative Cloud is the service that is buggy. I have instances full of details ready to submit, including errors captured on my MacBook Pro via the Console. Unfortunately I have no way to submit them, not even via the link you provided.
As far as Creative Cloud is concerned, this forum has been no help at all. Judging by the shaky responses (or lack thereof) from Adobe staff members on the cloud service issues, I see no point in submitting detailed information on this forum. A "Creative Cloud" option should be added at once on the page you suggested.
Please do not take this response personally. I know you are doing your best to help. My frustration has to do with Adobe in general, considering the membership pricey premium we pay for the Creative Cloud service.
Best regards,
Mario Marceau

How do I submit a bug? (Firefox blocks bluetooth headset commands.)

I am using a Samsung Epic with Froyo 2.2.1, and a Sony MW600 playing mp3s with "Just Playlists Plus". Everything works as it should until I open firefox. It seeps like Firefox is capturing the pause, skip, etc. commands from the headset and not passing them on to the OS.

How to fix iphone4s battery bugs, how to fix iphone4s battery bugs

now my battery is 65 but after i power off n open it agn i found that the battery life became 70....

Hi Diesel
see, the problem simply is, that I have two phones here, a 4S and a 5S, which both worked perfectly, including using SIRI, for about 2 years, and one bad day in January from one day to the other lost energy really fast... i am talking about from holding out for 2 days to dropping to holding for 6 hours.
It took me 3 months, 3 phones (the 4S and two new 5S's), 4 apppointments in the Apple store, and about 250 $ altogether (not counting the hidden cost of a prolonged Cellular contract which pays the 800$ 5S over the next 24 months) to find out what the problem was, and now i have two phones here, with SIRI turned off, which miraculously hold their power again for 2 days instead of half a day. and the only thing I did was turning SIRI off.
I hate to say it, since I actually liked to use it, and I don't see it as a solution, but believe me, I WENT THROUGH ALL the processes you call 'best troubleshooting' BEFORE i switched SIRI off, and I post this here for the people who want to know what to do, if all the 'best troubleshooting' does not help, or the ones who decide they want to short-cut the days of clean installing and switching off apps etc...
Ah - and I am aware, that may be SIRI is not the only source of the problem, may be it only reacts that way in combination with something else, eg. a t-mobile contract or what ever...
but reading through the threads in this community, you must admit, that there are as well 'millions of people' who keep having a problem after trying the standards...
that is why I wrote "...in MY case....." in my first post.
cheers

How to submit a bug report for OSB? - restore fails if number of items per page is changed from the default of 30

In the OSB web gui, one of my users found that if the number of items per page is changed from the default of 30, the restore of the file will fail. He tested this using recent versions of Firefox and IE. We have verified this to also be the case using Chrome.
In a directory containing over 100,000 files, moving 30 at a time to find the one to be restored is a very frustrating user experience.
How do I file a bug report for this issue? Is there a workaround for this bug to enable my users to more easily find the file to restore without being restricted to the default of 30 items per page?

Yes there is a bug in the webtool in the current release. You can use the commandline obtool to do the restore, that is much faster and works fine.
Thanks

If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then cancelled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do i go back and do that since now when i plug in my HD, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help?

If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then canceled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do I go back and do that since now when I plug in my external hard drive, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help? I bought a MacBook Air, but decided to return it for the newest model, and I wanted to back it up so that I can then back it up on my new MacBook Air. I didn't understand the option to Inherit or start a new back up, and therefore selected the option to create a new backup. I believe I should have selected to Inherit backup history so that when i back it up on the new MackBook Air, it appears the same as the one I'm returning.... Is there anyway that i can re-select the option to Inherit backup history for time machine?

Thanks for sharing this link.
I've posted a question here https://discussions.apple.com/message/22049103#22049103 describing my situation. Are you able to suggest me the right option?

I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this?

I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.

The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
See A4 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Factory reset.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.
