Rescue&Recovery won't do any backups

I've downloaded the latest rescue&recovery 4.2 with the fix patch and BIOS update. After I installed it, it seemed to work fine. Unfortunately, when I wanted to backup my thinkpad to my external hard drive, the progress bar always at 0% for hours. The internal hard drive was not working itself. What should I do? =>
ThinkPad T61, T7500 2.2Ghz, NVS140m 128MB DDR3, 3GB, 160GB, Windows XP SP3.

So this is probably a bug in TC but it worked for me. After scouring this forum for ideas I saw someone had suggested manually changing the 802.11 a/b/g compatibilty channel from "Automatic" to <something>, I chose channel 10 (randomly). Anyway, after doing that my wireless backups seem to work regularly and reliably.
I guess I answered myself

Had to reinstall vista on pc. won't recognise any backup files.any ideas how to extract back up files?

I had to reinstall vista on my pc. Did a backup of everything onto an external drive using the windows backup system. Tried going into windows restore function but it says it can't find the files. If I go into the backup through windows explorer I can find the mobilesync back up files but don't know what to do with them as I don't know that much about computers etc. I have independent back up of all my music and photos etc. so not bothered about them but would like to be able to get my podcasts back and of course my Apps! Does anyone have any advice?
Did wonder if I transfer my purchases to the newly loaded iTunes will this solve the Apps problem?

If you sign in to iTunes with your apple id and then sync your phone it will transfer the content across.

Rescue+Recovery 4.5 on W510 Scheduled Time changed

With Rescue and Recovery 4.5 on My W510 Win 7 each time I set the time schedule to a desired time, after a while it is changed to 12:00. This happens with the internal second HDD as well as with an external USB HDD. Everything else seems to work normal.

Hello gknopp,
I suggest that you uninstall the rescue and recovery software from the computer then reinstall it. There is probably a part of the software that had a problem when downloaded. A fresh copy should fix this for you.
Hope this helps,
Alex

Can't get Rescue&Recovery 4.20 or 4.21 to install. Reports they are downladed

Have T-61 with Windows XP

yeah, i experienced that issue also. in case you haven't noticed, the TV System Update utility is not very intelligent or reliable (and wastes a ton of space with the files it downloads/keeps on your hard drive; you're better off downloading whatever updates you want/need manually, and uninstall TVSU, imo. in fact, if you have an XP installation disc (cdrom), then you can blow away the recovery partition altogether and do a clean install of XP on a single partition... that recovery stuff isn't needed, unless you don't have an installation CD for the OS. btw, any retail or oem copy of XP pro can be used to install the OS (even if you just borrow one from a friend), but enter YOUR own product key, which can be found on the Microsoft sticker affixed to the bottom of your machine.

My ipod won't sync any of the music i downloaded and says that iTunes can't backup the Ipod because a session couldn't be started with the Ipod how do i fix this

My ipod won't sync any thing in my iTunes library it always stop as soon as it starts backingup the Ipod a message appears that says iTunes cannot backup the Ipod "my Ipod" because a session couldn't be started withthe Ipod how do i fix this problem?
This is exactly what the message says: iTunes could not back up the iPod "austins ipod" because a session could not be started with the iPod.

Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

Rescue and Recovery won't recognize backup files.

I have backup files on a usb drive, an ultrabay drive and the main hard drive and it won't recognize any of them. Anyone else have this problem?

manusoft, welcome to the forum,
attach the usb drive and then check it's recognised in BIOS. While you're in BIOS ensure that you optical drive is set as first boot device and place the boot disc you created in the optical drive. Save your settings and restart.
The system will boot to the R&R on the disc and in theory you should be able to then install the image.
Consideration; on the systems you move this image to the service partions will probably be no longer functional. I say probably as I've never done this with W7.
Hope this helps

This is just a data point and may not apply to your MBA but it might point you in the direction of the failure.
I have a mid-2011 13" MBA that developed symptoms similar to yours. As it is still under warranty I called Apple and went through a lot of 'hold these keys on startup' checks and none of them worked so I was asked to take it to an Apple store or an AASP. I chose the latter because it is only 20 miles away and the nearest Apple store is 70 miles away. The AASP shipped it to their central repair facility which, coincidentaly, is near the Apple store but their central repair faciltiy couldn't fix it, either, and shipped it to Apple in Houston, TX.
When I received it back (4 days later--pretty quick turn around especially since going through a middle man) the repair order stated that they replaced the 'logic board, 1.8GHz, 4GB'.

Time Machine won't do any more backups

I've had TC for about a month now and it was working well and reliably once I installed all the firmware/time machine updates on my Macbook Pro. Now however, TM is unable to complete any backups, even leaving it over night. For two days now I've come back to my machine in the morning to see it "almost" done. This morning it was 570.2 MB/837.2 MB and not moving. TC reports the last backup was 3 days ago (April 1).
Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?
Many thanks.

Rescue and Recovery Won't Open on My R61i Laptop

Computer: 2008 Lenovo R61i Laptop with Windows XP, SP 3, 2 GB RAM, Intel Duo Core processor, 34 GB free on the hard drive
I had been wondering why my 160 GB hard drive was filling up even though I only have 10 GB of documents, photos, and videos saved, so I downloaded a little program called windirstat, and it told me that 50 GB was being used for RRbackups. Google told me what that is, and I opened it and checked to see how many backups were there (it said 5, counting an initial "basic" backup). I attempted to delete the newest one, but I can't tell if the process finished, and now I can't get Rescue and Recover to even open. I have defragged my hard drive, I have tried it in SAFE MODE, nothing works.
Here are my questions and additional info:
Is the initial "basic" backup where the backup of the Windows XP operating system is located? (I'm guessing that if the answer is "yes," then I don't want to delete that backup.) The size of this backup is 36 GB.
If so, could that backup be moved to an external hard drive and still be usable?
I also have Go Back (keeps a compressed image of my hard drive on the same drive for restoration of files and reverting the hard drive to a previous status). I have used this program for years and would rather use it that Rescue and Recovery for incremental backups because it's automatic and updates more often.
I also now use Carbonite, so I may need to rethink how I should use R & R and GoBack.
I'm thinking that I would like to keep the R&R initial back for Windows files but tell R&R to not to any more backups, then continue to use GoBack and Carbonite.
The primary problem at the moment is that R&R won't open at all, so I can't delete any backups and I can't tell it to stop trying to do incremental backups. HELP!
Thanks in advance,
Jim King

Hi,
can you please describe, how did you tried to delete the RnR backup? Using GUI, or manually in the RRbackups?
NOTE: The files stored in the RRbackup are encrypted and each file has also a metadata file, that conatins the informations on the purpose of that one file and some other usefull informations for RnR so that the restore can work.
Here are the answers on your questions:
1) If I understand it correctly, then the answer is YES. In case you have placed all the RnR backups localy, then the basic/initial backup and also the other incremental backups are stored exactly in the RRbackups folder.
2) YES, you can move it, BUT not manually. You need to use the RnR GUI to copy/move the backup on a network drive, or USB HDD. You can read more about this option in the Manual for RnR (sorry I don't want to describe it in here, as this is a bit longer description). So please review following guide:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkvantage_en/rnr43dg.pdf
Page 61 describes this process using the rrcmd.exe utility.
3) I think, this is just a note
4) same here
5) In this case, it's of course possible to keeep just the original/inicial backup. In case you don't want to do any other backups, then you just make sure, that you dissable the scheduler of RnR and don't do any other backups.
6) For this situation, the crucial point is, what did you deleted in the RRbackups. However, the first point, that I would do is to reinstall, or repair RnR. NOTE: Please use the same package, or the package, that is stored on your system. From Add/REmove programs.
Please let me know, if you have any add questions to this situation.
Cheers

Firefox updated yesterday and now it won't load any webpages. Have reviewed articles on this problem and checked everything. Still won't load. All other browsers work fine.

Have checked firewall and network settings and compared to other computers running firefox. All is ok, but firefox won't load any webpages. This started immediately after it updated yesterday. No error messages.
Have been having problems with updates on serveral of our computers for a month or so. Previous problems have always been that firefox renames a file it needs by adding moz.backup to the file name and I have to search for the file and remove it. This time I'm getting no error messages.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

24" iMac won't install any 'large' Apple software updates from the internet

I am having a serious issue with my iMac and neither the people on the phone at Apple Care or the 'Geniuses' at the Genius Bar have been able to assist. So, maybe someone here can:
First - here is the background information about what happened and what I've done:
A few weeks ago when the new iTunes 10 came out I went to upgrade. The upgrade failed it said. So, I thought perhaps Apple was having issues with the new software or something. So, I thought - Ok, I'll give it a day or two.
I come back and try again from Apple.com - no luck. Hmmmm - well, I just happened to see my 'software update' icon pop up and there was iTunes. I thought "Great! Now I'm sure it'll install!" No luck.
So, I think - well, perhaps I've done something to corrupt my profile. So, I create a new profile and try again. No dice.
So now I'm really confused and figure - ok, let me try a partition and I'll try again. Still nothing.
Finally I figure - ok, something is wrong here. So, since nothing is working I backup my music and important files and wipe out the hard drive and start over. No luck. And, in fact - since I had gone back to 10.5.4 or whatever - software updates needed to install to get me back to 10.5.5. Those wouldn't install through software updates OR when downloaded from Apple.com - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue.
I decided to engage "Apple Care" and they call me at the time I specified and we begin to do some tests on the hardware and everything came back ok. We tried from Apple.com and software updates again - still won't install the software. Keeps coming back with "Software installation failed" something about the package installer was corrupted during downloading.
The guy at Apple care thinks perhaps its my network corrupting something. This begins to make a little sense and I think, maybe he's right. My wireless router isn't that great so, maybe I'll just go replace it. However, while I'm checking out I begin to think that maybe its NOT my wireless router - because I do have 2 other computers in my house who haven't had issues downloading anything. So, this is unlikely. But, I didn't like the wireless router anyway - so I went ahead with the purchase.
I get it home - set it up and try again. STILL not working. So, I make an Appointment at the "Genius Bar". I take it in - show them the screen shots of the errors and we get started. They try to do the install of either iTunes or the combo update on THEIR network - still won't work. The genius thinks I have a bad HD and takes the computer for 2 days to look at it.
I finally get to go pick it up - excited that I'll have my iMac (which I use for work) back and functioning again. I go pick it up and they decided that it wasn't my hard drive - but likely my RAM. They couldn't prove it was the RAM but figured since I bought the RAM after I bought the iMac that this must be the issue (even though it was up to exact Apple standards and was from Crucial). So, I think - well, while I have a blank slate I'll go ahead and install Snow Leopard. So, I pick up Snow Leopard and get new RAM too and go home to install.
I get the computer home, put the new RAM in, install snow leopard and get ready to work! After snow leopard install is done - it has some new updates it needs to install. And the update FAILS to install again. Oh, and they never replaced the HD.
So, I call Apple Care again - they have no clue. They suggest making an Apple Genius Bar appointment. So, I take it in again. They run diagnostics on it from their 'Triage' external hard drive and everything checks out. He says its probably the hard drive (same conclusion they came to the first time) and said that they would replace it.
I get the computer back - take it home. Everything is up to date. All the software updates were back in place including iTunes 10. However, I still want to test and see if I can download iTunes and/or do updates. So, I uninstall iTunes and download it again. Same problem. STILL won't install any large software downloads. But, again - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue. Just no core Apple updates or things like iTunes will download and install on my iMac.
I then took it to a friends house - set it up on his network - same issue.
So to sum up:
I have re-imaged the hard drive several times
I have replaced the ram
I have replaced my networking hardware (even though other machines on the network have no issues)
I have taken it in twice to the Genius Bar and they still haven't fixed it
The Problem followed the machine and exhibited the same issues in store as it did in my home (so we know the problems stays with the machine)
I have tried it on yet a 3rd network and the issue still exists
The people at the Genius Bar told me that If I still have issues then its with my network - even though its been proven it wasn't.
Its only larger downloads like Combo Updates and iTunes that won't install.
Any ideas? Sorry for the long post but its been quite an ordeal.

Yes, I have tried the updates directly from the Apple website and a different issue occurs. When I do that I get various different errors - the most common saying 'Codec overrun'. This has happened both before and after complete software OS reinstalls (Completely wiping the HD clean).
I did a video of my issue on my iPhone. I had to cut it and compress it to get it off my phone without syncing (because I can't sync it since I can't get iTunes installed now). So, its about a minute long if anyone wants to see it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8leWwEoIeXI
And yes, we tried to repair permissions a couple times but didn't seem to have any effect on whether it would install these updates. Again, it's NOT all software downloads/installs. It seems to be limited to LARGER pieces of software. Example: Firefox, Flash, Java and Silverlight have all downloaded and installed without error on my iMac. Apple combo updates and iTunes won't install at all.

My 4th gen ipod won't backup after it froze during a software update to 4.3.5. I had to cancel the backup at the start of the update and now it won't let me backup to my computer, freezes during backup or says my backup is corrupted.

I pressed 'X' during a backup after it froze during an update to software 4.3.5 and now it won't let me backup on my computer. Does anyone have any ideas? It either freezes during backup or says my 'backup is corrupted' or 'I cannot backup on my computer'. I have had to abort quite a few attempted backups since the initial problem, which I think has made it worse. I have already tried restoring my ipod, deleting the aborted backup from my preferences/devices in itunes and deleting it from my user/appdata/etc on my PC hard drive. Any ideas what to try next?

After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?

How can I fix my iPod if it won't load any app?

My iPod won't load any apps and if it does I will get kicked out of the app within 20 seconds. I've read that I should just try restarting it by holding the home and power button until it shuts off, but my power button is stuck. The other thing I've read is to just download another app but it kicks me out of the App Store and iTunes or it won't load them. Could someone please help. I don't want to have to reset it. Thanks.

My iphone 4s won't detect any wifi networks.

Hi
My iPhone 4s won't detect any wireless networks. It was working fine until last night when the connection dropped int he middle of me watching a programme. At first I thought it was our router, but I reset that about 5 times, and all other devices are working fine on it. The phone won't detect any other networks either - if I ask to join a network it comes up with the message "could not scan for wireless networks". I have tried resetting the network settings as suggested on the support page, but it hasn't worked. Can anybody help? Thank you.

If no change after resetting network settings on the iPhone, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
