Time Machine keeps giving me an error message when I try to back up to my Lacie drive.
Time Machine keeps giving me an error message when I try to back up to my Lacie drive. It won't back up and I can't find where to fix it.
I was having the same problem with my LaCie hard drives, both of them had errors like that and wouldn't eject properly. They would be fine after turning off and then remounting and so on, but then it would start again after a while. So I looked on LaCie's web site for any software updates and I found a usb firmware update from last October and applied it to both drives and now they're perfect. Sorry, I can't find it on their web site right now, but you might want to remember this if it persists and apply the update if you haven't.

Time machine keeps giving me an ERROR message
I got time machine in late December and it does not work all the time.
Lately, Especially, when I click onto the icon in my top "toolbar?" it keeps saying LATEST BACKUP DELAYED and then;when I click onto those words; a box comes up and says LATEST Backup FAILED, (in RED letters). I then click on the red dot that has the white I in it and I get the message " TIME MACHINE ERROR Backup Volume not found."
This does not happen all the time and SOMETIMES I can do a manual back up but not always.
I have even told it to not back up all but a few necessary things but----!
What do I do?See Mac OS X 10.5- Time Machine - "The backup volume could not be found" alert.

I get this error message when I try to back up my laptop:
' Time machine could not complete the backup. The backup disc image "/Volumes/Data/Lou Ann Buesing's Mac Book Pro. sparse bundle' is already in use. "
Anyone know how to fix it?Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.
Read C12 in pondini.

C17 can be related I think. -
I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that. -

Adobe reader keeps giving me an error message when trying to download.
Adobe reader keeps giving me an erro message everytime I try and download something.
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari. -
So i tried to charge my iphone yesterday and i got an error message saying "Charging is not supported with this accessory", i then went and bought a new charger and tried it but keep getting the same error message.
I don't know what could have caused this but if anyone has a solution or help in anyway i would appreciate it.Yes its been cleaned out, i have tried many different things to try an fix it but still nothing. i just can't understand how it can be working perfect 1 minute then not working the next minute. seems to be a common problem with no real solution.

I keep getting the following error messages on my Mac when I try to redeem a song code: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again later." and then, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
Hello, constance132.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when receiving error -50.
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

Trying to download iTunes 11.1 but it keeps giving me an error message saying:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes64.msi" in the box below.
Use Source:iTunes.msi
Perfect, thanks.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?
Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

HT201250 My time machine is giving me an error.
My time machine is giving me this error: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Steven C's Time Capsul/Linda’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use.It had been backing up fine for years and now all of a sudden it is not. I'm not sure how to fix it. Thanks
The possiblility of recovery according to pondini is remote.. You history is history.. You have no choice but to start over.
I would actually recommend an erase of the TC.. and use the one pass low level format to ensure the drive itself is still good.
Read over Pondini's reply again as he has already answered your questions.
eg
•If your backups are on a Time Capsule’s internal HD, see the green box in #Q6 of Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule. The "archived" backups will still be marked as damaged, but you may be able to view and restore some things from them.
ie it is possible but unlikely as they are damaged beyond recovery.. You can run a repair and see if it fixes it.. I would consider building a sand castle to hold back a tidal wave would be equally useful use of your time. If you want decent backups.
1. Use ethernet.
2. Or use local backup disk.. not network. A local disk is cheaper, faster and more reliable than network.
3. Use Crashplan or CCC or Chronosync etc. Keep a disk image of whatever setup you want.. and do not add incrementals to it. They become less reliable when you add more than an image. Use a backup that can produce a bootable image.. and you will then have the ability to recover your computer.. TM can then add the bits you are missing.
Other backup software is not as good as TM at keeping files that you need in many version. They are less complicated but more reliable.
