The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk. Have tried disk utility to repair but still not working.

My time machine backup has failed for the last couple of days. Im getting the message saying," error. this may be temporary, if the problem persists, go to disc utility to repair the problem."
I have done the first aid in the disc utility and still not repaired. Do I erase the disc, as it says????

1. Reboot the TC alone.. Just pull out the power cord.. count to 10 and plug it back in.
If TM still cannot find the disk..
2. Do a full network reboot.. everything off.. restart in correct order.. modem.. wait 2min.. TC wait 2min.. then all the clients..
If TM still cannot find the disk..
3. Factory reset the TC and do a fresh configuration. The TC is known to occasionally throw a wobbly and spontaneously forget its name.. part of old age.. (2years is starting towards old age for a TC).
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.
If TM still cannot find the disk..
4. Wipe the old backup.. and start afresh.. this sometimes also happens.
You can try a verify of the disk. See A5 here.

Sometimes a clean fresh TM backup is the only way.
Good luck.

My iPhone 3GS is not showing in "devices" on my iTunes. Tried everything that Apple advize but still not working. Any suggestions please? :)

Hello, hope someone can please help. I've had my iPhone 18 months, not had any problems with using it. Trying to update the software to 4.0 on iTunes but it's just not recognizing it at all. It's not there under devices (infact, even the heading "devices" isn't shown), Tried a different USB port but that didn't solve it.
Have changed my startup (using msconfig) as Apple suggested, but again still nothing. Have downloaded the latest iTunes and *again* not working!!!!
Any suggestions please?

Perhaps you have already done this, but I'd be sure to verify that it's not your cable...try a different cable and that will eliminate that as a source of the error.

TS5376 I am hopeless, my computer will not uninstall itunes so i can reinstall! i really truly do need help! can someone please give me some guidance? i have tried almost everything and it is still not working!

I really need help!!! my itunes 11.1.4 download really screwed my computer up! I have tried everything i can search for and i still cant uninstall itunes in order to reinstall. If anyone could please help me it would be muchhhhhhhhh appreaciated. Thanks!

Carly,
I went through the same thing. Searched again for another error I was seeing and found this help from Delgadoh and this finally fixed me! He mentioned this article: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. But I had not read it. I went straight to his instructions below.
If you haven't already tried these steps:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer.
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.

I have tried it all and Flash Player Still not working. Can You Help?

I have a 64 Bit Operating System
Windows 8.1
Updated newest Flash Player 03/02/2015 ( updated about 20 times thru the last 2 months)//auto installed with Windows 8.
Internet Explorer Browser 11
I check to see if Flash Player is installed and it says it is.
When attempting to test, I get the following message:
Either Flash Player is disabled or ActiveX Filter is ON.
Please follow troubleshooting steps to play Flash content.
I have gone through instructions to enable the flash player and disable the Active X filter. I have done both. It still tells me the flash player is disabled and when I attempt to play things on Facebook, it will not run.
What the heck do I do next?

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

I TRIED RESTORING MY IPHONE 3G AND AN ERROR CODE CAME UP. THE APPLE ICON IS ON MY IPHONE AND IT WANT TURN OFF OR RESET. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I MEAN EVERYTHING BUT ITS NOT WORKING. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. DON'T HAVE A RIDE TO THE APPLE STORE.

PLEASE HELP ME.

No need for the caps.
If iTunes prompts you to restore your phone, then that is your only choice. Just follow the instructions iTunes gives you.
If its not turning on, hold down the power and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. Then you will be asked to restore your phone in iTunes.

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails. I have tried every trick and it's still not working.

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails from the mail app.
I've been looking through the forum for hours and tried every variation of deleting the account, re-adding it, rebooting my iPad etc. I've tried everything! And I still can't receive emails.
My drafts, sent emails and junk emails are all there but my inbox is empty and it's refusing to download the messages.
When I refresh it, "downloading 1 of 250" pops up for a second and then disappears and it just says it's updated yet nothing is there.
Please can someone help. This is incredibly annoying!!!
My mail provider is Yahoo and my wifi is working fine.

Can anyone help solve this problem?

I've done a search on here and haven't found any solutions posted for it for windows computers. You could try posting in the iTunes For Windows forum and see if you get any suggestions in there (are you able to download other items from the store e.g. a free app ?) - I use a Mac, the only things that I could think of to suggest trying is see if you get the same error on a different iTunes library :
creating and/or opening a different iTunes library : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
or using a different user account on your computer in case it's a problem with that user account.
But you may want to try the iTunes For Windows forum first, apart from anything else you are likely to get better help for the above

There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)

I seem unable to purchase from the Mac App Store. Free downloads work fine, but purchases do not. iTunes purchases are fine, as are iOS purchases.
Firstly I get "Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed - For assistance, contact iTunes Support at www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/."
Then I get "We could not complete your request. - There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)"
Anyone else got the same problem or a solution?
I'm using Mavericks on a 2013 MBA.
TIA,

Ok. I got in touch with an Apple Support Correspondent via Email (he was rediculuously helpful) and he said:
I checked your account and I can confirm that it was related to other accounts which was disabled. Considering the case, you'll need to contact our Account Security team for account verification.
Apple takes the security of your account very seriously. To make sure only you can access your account, you'll need to speak with one of our specially trained Account Security Advisors and request for verification and re-enabling of your account.
He said to go to this page:
Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
Choose your country, then pick the "Apple ID Account Security Option". There will be options on when to call Apple Support. The advisor also said that calling Support was the only option.

3. It will show every app on your computer regested to a apple id
4. Open up the Mac app store and go to purchases
5. Match up the items in the terminal list to the items in the purchases list.
6. Delete the items that apear in the terminal list that are not on your purchases
7. Empty the trash and restart your computer
8. Open the app store and it should be gone
Its because it is a third party app
It means that you downloaded a aplication of piratebay or something and it has some link to a compleatly different app.

I am getting the same error message: "The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk." I don't have a TC but rather an external drive, which is twice the size of my harddisc, and it still has plenty of free space. The problem has lasted for 5 days. I even used a different external drive -- still same error message. Needless to say that I have run Disc Utility several times. Can anybody help? Thanks
I am having issues with some USB drives on Mountain Lion.. work perfectly on another computer with Snow Leopard.. not even recognised by ML.
Is the disk recognised?
If so and TM cannot pick it up.. do a full reset of TM and try again.

Does this happen when you try to update?
These guys have a cool solution that has helped with that error when you can't update an app: http://support.iawriter.com/help/kb/mac-questions/the-app-store-fails-with-there -was-an-error-in-the-app-store-please-try-again-later-null
NOTE: the instructions are specifically for their app but the solution has also worked for other apps too. They are, however, more advanced steps so proceed with caution.
