Do a verify of the disk.. A5 and the existing backup.
Sometimes you need to wipe and start over.
To delete existing sparsebundle see Q12 here.

Don't use wireless. To do large backups use ethernet with wireless turned off.
I almost want to say don't use Mavericks.. but it is too late for that if you already upgraded.. Expect trouble with Mavericks.

  • Time Machine backup shows "stopping backup" after just a few Gb.

    Time Machine backup shows "stopping backup" after just a few Gb.
    Finder shown as "not responding" in Activity Monitor.
    1. How to escape from that situation?
    2. How to prevent it happening again?
    Thanks in advance for help.

    Thanks for the suggestion, and apologies for the delayed response.
    I have had a couple of looks through Pondini's site, but haven't (so far) found exactly what I am experiencing.
    In the meantime, I am becoming suspicious of the disk (a Toshiba e-Stor 1Tb) and/or the cable connection. A couple of days ago I set it up with the cable in one of the USB ports on the computer itself, which I understand is supposed to be preferable (to using a hub).
    Initially, straightforward copying of folders via the Finder seemed to work, although some failed because the system thought they were 'in use' (another apparently known problem). However, I managed to copy three folders earlier this week, but today, they have simply disappeared from the external disk! The partial backup (from TM) is still visible.
    Finder's behaviour is also still rather odd. When I clicked on the external drive to see what content it included, Finder took ages, and Activity Monitor said it was 'not responding' for a time, though that did sort itself out this time, after a few minutes.
    To ensure that I have covered everything, I should point out that I have partitioned the disk using the Mac Disk Utility, so that there is a Mac partition and a Windows (FAT) partition that I intend to use for a Windows computer. Apologies for using such bad words on a Mac forum!

    Hello,
    I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
    THAT was not an option!
    BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
    In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
    I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
    Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
    By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
    We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
    the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
    It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
    treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
    @Apple:
    Please fix that issue in the next update.
    Hope, this helps you guys as well.

  • I am trying to install a language disc. I clicked on the installer. It ran for a long time without installing. I click stop installing and it says it is stopping but is doing nothing. I am unable to eject the disc or stop anything.

    I am trying to install a Portugese language disc. I clicked on the installer icon and it said it was installing, but it ran forever without doing anything. I clicked "stop installing" and it says "stopping", but it is doing nothing. I am unable to eject the disc or do anything because it says an operation is in progress.

    Please provide some info on the disc, where it comes from, who made it, etc.  Also tell us what version of OS X you are running.

    Thanks!

    You haven't said what version of PSE you are using but the general solution to this problem is to re-install the product from your original disks.  Have you got the disks for your product and the related serial number?

  • TS1362 I have a Mac Pro tower, am running osx and iTunes will not work.. It basically just stopped working after having run faultlessly for...years... I can see all the songs, playlists etc, but the progress bar will not progress..it's 'stuck'. Suggestion

    I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is  'stuck'...any suggestions?

    Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

  • TS2634 Why does my apple iPod touch just automatically stop playing songs and it also when I am doing a google search just goes back to the home screen

    My iPod touch just stops playing songs automatically.
    When doing a google search it sometimes times goes back to the home screen.
    Also it sometimes takes several goes before it will accept the charger!
    Would appreciate any help, thanks

    - The charging issue could be due to a poor connection or a problem with the iPod. Try another cable first
    - Try the following, it is mainly for the not playing and other problems:
    Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • After downloading iTunes, the setup file simply does nothing...

    I got a new iPod touch yesterday and when I tried to update my iTunes (which was 7.6) the update would not work. After trying to update multiple times I finally decided to uninstall iTunes so that I could re-install it (and hopefully have it work. This, I soon learned was a big mistake. The download of the iTunes setup file to my desktop worked fine, but when I tried to actually install iTunes, nothing happened. I can click the file, a window pops up saying that the program is from an unknown publisher and asks me if I want to run it anyway. I click yes, and nothing happens. When I try to install iTunes from the apple website, it won't work either. I then get a pop up saying that the program is bot valid and will not install. I have tried everything reccomended on the troubleshooting section and no change. I have windows XP, which is up to date, has vbscript installed and have tried everything that I can think of. Can anyone help me??
    please and thank you.

    I am afraid I don't know the answer to this. The problem seems to crop up a fair bit, but I haven't seen anyone post a solution.
    There is an experiment I have been wanting to try with someone if you are willing. I have been wondering if this could be anything to do with a problem with cryptographic dlls.
    Could you try working through *Method 4* in the following link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
    It is possible that simple re-registering the dlls might help if the process goes through without any error messages.
    But it is also a test to check for missing dlls - make a careful note of any error messages that may occur.

  • IPAD 1 problems after ios 5.1.1 update, itunes does not recognize IPAD.. I check the device manager, it identifies an unknown device (My ipad) but unable to use it.

    I am using the generation 1 IPAD.
    I recently updated my ios from ios 4 to ios 5.1.1, I did the restore after the update and all seemed fine as it was detected the first time.
    I tried connecting the IPAD again but it shows that the computer, itunes is not able to detect the IPAD.
    I checked on the device manager, it identifies an unknown device (IPAD) and says no software for the driver. I am using windows 7 on my laptop. I never had any such problem with the iso 4. Any suggestions as to how this can be solved?
    Thanks,
    Vinay

    Thank you, I tried uninstalling the device driver to reinstall again. After doing the scan for hardware changes, nothing flashes on the device manager. I dont see anything related to the IPAD or any other device for which driver shows unidentified device. It is as though the device is not being seen by the computer at all..
    I even tried flashing the home/sleep buttons together but that doesnt seem to identify any device either.
    Anything else I am missing?

  • Hello, the activity wheel (next to my Wi-Fi signal strength) won't stop spinning on certain websites. Why is it doing that. It's like as if the page isn't finished loading. I am using an iPad 2.

    When I'm on Facebook, the activity wheel won't stop spinning. I have to hold down tap and open pics in a separate tab if I want to enlarge them. I used to be able to double tap on the pic to see it bigger. Also, i cant click on links within Facebook. Why is it doing this?

    I figured out that the problem was. Facebook was adding some features. While this was taking place, some of the basic commands wasn't working. It's seems to be working fine now that they've finished working on it.

  • How do I add a website to remember the password after I have been to it before? I didn't know how to make the website remember the password initially.

    I want to have firefox remember a password on some sites that I have already been to previously. When it asked me initially, I didn't know how to make it remember. Now I would like for it to remember that site. Please explain how to do this.

    If you clicked "Never" then you have created an exception that you need to remove.<br />
    Otherwise Firefox should offer to store the name and password on the next visit when you sign on.
    Remove site(s) from the Exceptions:

  • Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

    Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
    My question is at the end.
    Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial  version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
    Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
    1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
    2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
    3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
    4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like  it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that  simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves  95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
    5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting,  etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a  post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able  to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the  coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand.  (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very  valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
    6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
    7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
    8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
    9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
    10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
    11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
    12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
    13. Bingo! That install works.
    14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
    15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security  patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file  adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that  mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
    16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
    17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
       before
         lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
       after
         lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
    (that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
    Save the file.
    18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
    Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is  no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS  update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
    And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the  version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version,  not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
    On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
    And finally my
    ** QUESTION **
    Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same  (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this,  but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older  version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use  the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the  directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my  limitied java skill set, to make this decision. 
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi Byron,
    Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
    So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
    Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
    Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
    Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
    #java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
    Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
    java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
    Note  there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to  point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program  Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
    Start CF via SERVICES.msc.
    HTH, Carl.
