Unable to make a "backup" - Error 1951

When I try to use the "Backup to disc" function in iTunes (7.3.1), I receive an error:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (1951).
The error occurs within a few seconds after the process appears to be starting. The disc is not damaged because I can still use it after to burn music to it (using iTunes).
I am attempting to backup only my iTunes Store purchases (full backup).
I made a backup once in the past and it worked - that was using a DVD-RW. I erased that disc using Nero InCD and when I tried to burn to it again, that's when the burning first failed. However, this attempt is with a regular CD-R disk.
What is the problem? What can I do to back up my iTunes purchases?
P4 Intel Windows XP

This was a problem with this particular version of iTunes. The issue was remedied with an update.

Hi ! Iuse memorex DVD-R. What I would do is buy a usb and create your recovery on it. That is if your machine will boot to a USB. I have a 16GB USB with my recovery on it. It would be a lot easier to use it than all those discs You can check boot sequence to see if your machine will boot from USB

Unable to make recovery disk-Error code:020123

I just recently bought Satellite P755-S5265 and I am having trouble creating recovery discs.
When using the Recovery Media Creator program, I can create Discs 1 to 3, but am having trouble on disc 4.
About halfway during the downloading sequence this error pops up:
Failure to open file
D:\DATA.INI
(Error Code:020123-F1-0000000)
I have gone through several DVD-R discs each having the same error.
I've also tried using the Hard Disk Recovery utility to restore the computer to manufactory settings, but the same error pops up again.
Could someone please help me out?
I appreciate an help I can get.
Thank you in advance

If you're getting the error both when creating recovery media and when recovering the computer using the recovery partition, it sounds like there's a problem with the data on the recovery partition itself.
I'd contact support at (800) 457-7777.

Time Machine Error when attempting make a backup!!!

Hello! I have a TC of 2 terabytes, dual network. Sometimes when I want to make a backup copy get an error "Time Machine Error: Unable to access the disk network backup because there was a problem with your user name or password for network". This usually happens several times a day, especially when the back of repose or iMac is the first time after being turned off.
If I get into the time capsule hard disk (I connect) through the finder, and try to make the backup this works well.

I get a similar error. I recently added a login password for the computer the backup disk is connected to on the network. I always get authentication errors now. I added the login, I thought, to keychain but still fails.

HELP! Lost ALL my bookmarks & Bookmark Toolbar is empty. Attempts to restore from the backup files yields an error message that says, "Unable to process the backup file." Have tried opening nearly all 10 existing backups w/same result.

I was in the midst of a Firefox session w/two windows open. Nothing special about the sites. No fancy javascripts or anything. When I closed the second window and opened the "History, Show all History" pull-down, the Library screen had no data in it.
I looked for the Bookmarks.html file in my profile and it is missing. I tried renaming an old .bak file from a couple years ago and I can open it as a file and see the text of it displayed but Firefox will not recognize it as and open it as the Backups file.
Following the directions already posted - using "History, Show all History" then the "Import and Backup, Restore" process - allows Firefox to see all the backups, but trying to restore from any of them yields the "Unable to process the backup file" error message.
I have re-started my machine from a cold start - twice now.

The file that stores bookmarks is probably damaged, for details on how to fix that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox

Since upgrading to FF 4, I have constant crashes (updating graphics drivers did not help). now all my bookmarks are gone. When I try to restore them, I get error message: "Unable to process the backup file".

Since I "upgraded" to FF 4, I have constant crashes (I tried updating my graphics drivers--it did not help) and now all of my bookmarks have disappeared. When I try to restore them, I get this error message "Unable to process the backup file". I have lost years of bookmarks...please help.
I am using Windows XP, SP 3 if that matters.

I am also unable to restore any of the backups of the bookmarks, both automatic backups and two backups that I created manually. Since I was able to restore backups before, and since no changes have occurred to these backup files, the problem must be with Firefox.
Right before my bookmarks disappeared, FF crashed and I accidentally started FF 3.5. When I saw what I did, I ended the Firefox process and started FF 4. That's when all my bookmarks were gone and I discovered I couldn't retrieve any backups. I did note that an add-on was updated when I restarted FF. Maybe that's the problem. Does FF have a Safe mode?

New Local Move Request - Error: MapiExceptionLogonFailed: Unable to make connection to the server.

I am in the process of doing a migration from SBS 2003 std. edition to SBS 2011 std. I am at the point the migrating mailboxes from the Exch 03 server to the Exch 2010 server. I initially received an error when selecting mailboxes that the mailbox

Problem with importing saved .json backup file in fresh installed firefox 3.6.8? Message "unable to process the backup file", when i choosed option "Restore" from menu "organize your bookmarks" !?

Hello,
my problem is with importing saved .json backup file in fresh installed firefox 3.6.8? Message "unable to process the backup file", when i choosed option "Restore" from menu "organize your bookmarks" !?
Normally that i followed all instructions from your support site, and that i tried many things, but nothing helped :( !?
my .json file isn't corrupted cause it was saved on another partition before formatting my OS.
Please don't tell me that my bookmarks are lost :( cause i had many important things in that bookmarks, on 100.s pages :( ....
Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,

Can you restore that JSON backup in a new profile?
Did you make sure that it is really a JSON backup and that there is no missing or hidden other file extension?
A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded"
A HTML backup starts with: <!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
You can try if you can restore that JSON backup in a new profile.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Please for administration of this support site, make possibility to quote someone's answer, on this way is dificult to answer somebody who wrote some suggestion!
No, i can't restore JSON backup in new profile, even on fresh installed OS XP SP3, with fresh installation of latest version of firefox!
MAN I TOLD YOU 10X IT'S 200 % JSON BACKUP FILE!!! I'M NOT IN IT FROM YESTERDAY, I WORK IN IT 12 YEARS!!!
I tried restoring json backup in new profile, but nothing, i couldn't restore, cause that stupid error from screen shot which i posted again appears !
Man i'm not totally noob i repeat 2nd time here, and normally that i know to create new profile, and that i tried that, but that didn't help!
I can't believe that FIREFOX has not good support team, and doesn't care for yours users, this will not give me more reason to use in future firefox
like borwser, if i don't have good support, and when i have problem like this, to loose all my very important bookmarks and passwords on them, and
firefox support won't to help me to solve my problem!
If somebody from firefox support team read this, i can give you Remote desktop access to my computer to try solve this problem, like other serious company
like HP, Dell , etc. give remote desktop support to their users!
Corel are you from firefox support team? Please don't write same suggestions, cause i know to read, and i understand well if you write once some suggestion!

Zen Xtra (Nomad) - Unable to read from device error (have tried everythi

Recently, I've been having problems with my Creative Zen Xtra Nomad mp3 player. One day it started freezing and lagging massi'vely when I would enter nomad explorer. Now it's virtually impossible to drag and drop something from nomad explorer to my computer or vise versa (keep getting the unable to read from device error). However, sometimes I am able to get an mp3 or two after about 5 minutes of transfer time.
I have no idea why it is doing this. One day I'm transferring my data back and forth with no problem, and the very next day I am getting this freezing, lagging, and errors when trying to transfer. The only thing that changed was me formatting my computer in between it working and it not working, but I did reinstall the driver and nomad explorer once I formatted (I'm also using the same USB 2.0 cable, but it worked fine the day before, so I am pretty sure that's not part of the problem). I was using the mp3 player to store about 0 GB worth of data for when I formatted, and now I'm unable to retrieve virtually any of it. I've tried everything under the PC Connectivity link short of formatting the mp3 hard dri've (and that is not an option because I need the files). I took it to a friends house to try on his computer, but it acted the same way. I'm completely stumped. Is there anything I haven't ruled out? Also, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2, and I was using SP2 before the format as well if that has any relevance.
Please let me know if I've left out any important information relevant to this issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Never use MP3 players to store important data, or as a single point of storage for any data (that includes keeping a backup of the player's audio tracks). You can have problems like this with accessing the data, as well as simply dropping the player and losing the lot.
There are a couple of methods I've seen that have worked to retrieve data:
. Driver update - either update to the latest drivers, or nonsensically downgrade to the drivers that come on the install CD.
2. Notmad Explorer - use the Xtreamer function in Notmad Explorer's trial version (which is free) to access the data and download it. It will be tedious, because I assume you have to download one file at a time.
As for your general problem, I would try using Creative's MediaSource instead of Nomad Explorer to access the player (people generally don't have good experiences with Nomad Explorer).
Also make sure you download the latest versions of the drivers (taking above into account), MediaSource, and the MediaSource plugin from Nomadworld.com downloads.
Once you have the data off (hopefully!) you might simply want to reformat it if none of the above hel

Urgent - Unable to find last backup for iPhone 4 in iTunes

Hello,
I would be grateful if someone could please help me urgently.
Earlier this week I made a backup of my iPhone 4 in iTunes. In actual fact I did this several times in order to make sure that the backup was saved. I have since upgraded iOS to 5.1.1 which for some reason also required me to use the restore function as the phone wouldn't start after the upgrade.
My problem now is that I cannot find the backup made in iTunes, even though there is a folder with correct modified date within the iTunes backup folder. What complicates things even more is that within this folder there seem to be files for two backups, the one made earlier this week and one which was made last year.
I have of course kept a copy of the full iTunes folder from before I did the upgrade, but I am now unable to recover the backup even after deleting the files for the older version. If I leave only the files with a modification date from earlier this week, I choose does find the backup but marks it as unknown and will not use it to restore the phone.
I would be grateful if anyone could suggest a way around this. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, sinking my iPad and then trying to reconnect my iPhone (this has worked in the past to resolve the issue of the backup not showing up) all to no avail. The only data I desperately need other text messages and notes, all other important data is backed up to iCloud. I'm not worried about individual applications as these can be downloaded over time as needed. Incidentally, if it is of any help the size of the folder which contains what I think is the backup from earlier this week after deleting all older files is 79 MB.
Thank you sincerely in advance for any help at all.
All the best for now and take care.
Hussein.

That means exactly what it says. Your computer is not Authorized to the Apple ID account that the content was purchased with. If your iTunes is logged in to an Apple ID you must log out, then log in using the same Apple ID that the content was purchased with. Then go to the Store menu and choose Authorize.

Unable to make microphone to work on NVIDIA MCP55 onboard sound card

Hello.
Some time ago, I bought a nice HP xw9400 Workstation (with Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216) from Germany. Despite it's starting to become old by today's standards for some stuff like gaming, it's still quite okay to use and the SAS HDD makes it boot fastly. And it has one of the best cases, you can plug PCI/PCIe/PCI-X cards very easily and it's very nice to change or add HDDs. Maybe I'll upgrade the CPUs (I can upgrade the bios and it seems it can support better CPUs) if I find them on eBay or other place.
I have less problems with Arch than the rest of distributions, but I still have weird issues. Despite my computer hardware is somewhat old, I still experience weird problems everywhere (it seems I have some kind of weird "luck").
I have problems using my microphone under Arch with "NVIDIA Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" onboard sound card , here is the relevant info.

I also tried create /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the following line to it...
options snd-hda-intel model=6stack
And no luck! I tried it and still appear both "Rear Mic" and "Front Mic". I'll provide a screenshot later.
I'm starting to understand this, maybe it can help me...

I tested both sound hardware by using arecord and audacity, no luck at all

(I tried them with my user and root, same results)
I had an Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro, but removed it to see if there was some problem. I'm still unable to use my Microphone even on onboard audio hardware. I'll try to use it once I have the microphone working
Regards.

Sorry, that was wrong, I meant
arecord -l
Have you tried making a virtual loopback device like above and using
arecord -vv -fdat out.wav
You should see the #### fluctuate as you speak into the mic. If not, then unmute and turn up your mic in alsamixer. That loopback device will allow you to capture your sound card and hear it at the same time. Another way to do it is to use a jumper from line out to line in on your sound device. You won't be able to hear it while you record though.
If your sound device works, then you can capture what's going through it. You'll need to determine which vitual device your mic is.
Example
arecord -l

How do I replace bookmark bar that was lost when a new Mozilla Fox Start page suddenly appeared with a Zone Alarm Community Toolbar, and nothing I have so far tried, working with "Show all Bookmarks", works ("Unable to process the backup file).

My current version is 6.0.2. A box appeared a few days ago informing me of an update to 7 (x?). I declined for the time being.
Then a Start Page just showed up missing the bookmark tool bar. I tried to import a bar from another browser. Nothing showed up. Then, I went to "Help". First, I clicked on "About Firefox" where I was informed of an update. This time, I tried it. When I clicked on "Apply Update", I received a message; 'Update could not be installed" despite there being no other Firefox browsers running.
I went back to "Help" and clicked on "Firefox Help". A page came up with the URL in place, but the page would not load ("Cannot find server at support.mozilla.com"). After several clicks on "Try Again" with the same result, I copied the URL and pasted it into a different browser, from which I am now working.
Before sending this question, I tried the two procedures ("Manual Backup" and "Restoring From Backup") found on Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import And Backup/Restore, using both "stored backups" from Mozilla's Profile folder and "Choose a file", as well as Bookmarks/Show ... /Backup. In each case, the response was, "Unable to process the backup file".
I had previously tried another method I found on Google which involved copying and saving a Mozilla backup file (this is the file I used in the procedure above - "Choose a File") found in the C:/Documents And Settings/.../Profile Folder, then renaming the original file "backup.HTML" and saving it in a folder one level up from its original location. The Bookmark bar was to show up after shutting down and reopening Mozilla - it never happened. I replaced the original backup file.
It occurred to me to locate the Bookmark File for this browser (Chrome) and using it in the "Choose a File" method, referred to above. But there is no extension included in the file name, and I was afraid to try it.
I'm out of ideas. Is there something else to try?

Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button
