Upgrading iPhone 4 firmware yields error -5000 during initial backup step

I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 firmware from v4.3.5 to v5.0.1 as offered by iTunes (v10.5.2.11 running on Windows 7).
When I do so, I first get a notification, that iTunes is first backing up all phone data in order to be able to restore it to the phone after the upgrade. After a few minutes I then get an alert popup, that the backup failed with error -5000 and the warning, that if I choose to continue, I will loose all data from my iPhone. At this point of course I always choose to abort (I repeated the process 3 times now, each time with the same result).
What is this "error -5000" and how can I fix or avoid it? BTW: the computers HD has >75 GB left, so it can't be a space issue...
Michael
PS.: I thought I bought me an apple product to exactly avoid this kind of hassle and cryptic error messages...

I did as instructed (with mixed feeling I may add), but - alas - with the ame result, i.e. also with MSSE real time protection disabled I am getting the same "error -5000". I even rebooted (and then checked the setting again) to make sure it was really disabled before trying again.
Other options or suggestions?
Michael

TS3694 iTunes error (-5000) during update of my iPad from iOS 4.3 to iOS 6.0.1

During update of my iPad from iOS 4.3 to the latest version of iOS 6.0.1, iTunes gives an error (-5000) while backing up the iPad and asks "Would you like to continue? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad."
Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions for next step?

You have to connect the iPad to your computer to update.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

i just upgraded my iphone 4 firmeware from 4.3.3 to 5.0.1 and after it restarted it says that the sim card doese not appear to be supported. i already went to the att store and they inserted a new card and tried to activate it and it says the same thing. my phone work great before the upgrade to the firmware and i read that lots of other people have had the same problem and brought there pnones into an apple store and had them replaced due to the faulty upgrade. what can you do for me

This is a user to user help forum only, so no one here can do anything for you except provide recommendations.
Have you tried restoring your iPhone with iTunes?
If so with no change, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

When i am backing up my iphone i receive an error message saying cannot backup because backup cannot be saved

I receive an error message saying cannot backup becasue backup cannot be saved when i am trying to backup my iphone 4s

No, I'm just backing up to my PC. I've never backed up to this computer (its my laptop). I've normally use my desk top but it has crashed. It did this to my 3GS but now it's doing it to my new 4s.

Time Machine Freezes During Initial Backup

I have a 500gb external Western Digital HDD I am trying to use as my Time Machine backup drive. The computer I'm using is a 24" iMac with about 250gb of data on it. The external drive is partitioned as a GUID / Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
When I try to run the initial backup, it will randomly freeze during the process. Sometimes it gets halfway through the backup and freezes, other times, right away. Sometimes there is an error, other times there isn't.
I have tried re-partitioning the drive many times, manually starting the backup and also letting the backup start on its own. All of my applications are closed when the backup begins, but no matter what I do, I cannot get the initial backup process to complete.
Ironically, I had the same problem on ANOTHER iMac of mine, with the same model Western Digital drive. The backup would freeze randomly during the initial process but I would keep manually re-starting the backup until it magically finished the backup. Now that computer seems to be working fine.
However, I still can't get this other iMac to work. I find it strange that two separate computers with two separate 500gb Western Digital drives would have the same problem with Time Machine, unless the problem is with Time Machine itself.
Any ideas out there how to resolve this?

Why do you assume it's TM, not WD?
There are many possibilities.
Did you completely erase the drive before formatting it? Sometimes the utilities, etc., that come on new drives can interfere with TM.
Is your iMac an Intel? If it's an older PPC, you need the Apple Partition Map, not GUID.
Is this USB or FireWire? USB is often much slower and less reliable.
If it's USB, does it have it's own power, or does it draw from your Mac? Often there's just barely enough to run a drive; if you have another USB peripheral, it can take enough power to interfere with the disk.
Does it have an automatic "spin down" feature? If so, can you disable it?
Does it have the latest updates? I thing I saw a post here recently that a WD update fixed, but I can't find it now.
Are you running any anti-virus scanning? If so, exclude your TM drive from it.
Sometimes excluding it from Spotlight as well, at least during a large initial backup, can prevent conflicts between TM and Spotlight.

TC freezes during initial backup

I have tried searching this forum for an answer to my problem with no luck. My 1 tb TC freezes during the same spot every time I try an initial backup. When the initial backup hits 690 out of 760 gb the transfer rate crawls to zero.
I have tried both ethernet and wireless connections, downgrading my firmware from 7.3.2 to 7.3.1 to 7.3 as well as resetting the time capsule and starting over. Other than this problem the TC works flawlessly. No problems with the internet, or accessing the drive and mounting the sparse bundle. Once the initial backup freezes at 690 gb I can manually stop the backup.
Does anyone have any suggesitons? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. I have been battling with this thing for quite some time now. I am using OS X 10.5.6 on a PowerMac G5. Thanks a lot

I have had a similar problem. I just bought my Time Capsule and everything was great until I tried to do the initial back up. It shuts down completely every time. Several tries later, and nothing.

Number of System Log Errors Increasing During Nightly Backup - What Can Be Done?

Right now, I'm getting quite a number of warnings and errors with my nightly (wbadmin) backups to external USB drive using Windows 8.1 and the Spring Update. Fortunately, the VSS-integrated system image backups are still sound, but it seems as though
Windows 8.1 is becoming less and less aware and tolerant of them. That's not right!
With Windows 8.1 before the Spring Update I was seeing the warnings, but not the FilterManager errors. The update brought the errors.
Perhaps not too many Windows 8 users use wbadmin start backup -vssFull commands to do their backups, but I'm sure a lot of folks running Server 2012 do.
What can be done to make the backup process smoother and eliminate these warnings and errors?
Here's the specific list of warnings / errors I got from last night, which started at 2:00am and ran to 4:26am:
As usual, clicking the Event Log Online Help button yields: "We're sorry, but the page you requested could not be found. You can search on TechNet for more information." Microsoft, you know that needs to be fixed too, right?
The specific command I'm using, via the Task Scheduler, is:
wbadmin start backup -allCritial -vssFull -quiet -backupTarget:G:\
For those who might suggest 3rd party backup, bear in mind I very much want the VSS integration that Windows Backup provides, and while wbadmin is producing backups that can actually be restored I can ignore these warnings and errors. But it would
be nice to not have them.
And yes, I've considered 3rd party backup solutions, but while wbadmin is producing VSS-integrated system image backups that can be restored from the Windows startup recovery environment I'd prefer those.

The errors suddenly stopped on their own, but the warnings continue.
As with most software issues, the errors came back again, specifically after a reboot mandated by yet another Windows Update. I'm assuming they stopped before because the Filter Manager just gave up, or maybe the volume numbers got too high (notably
the volume numbers started over again at a lower number).
As of last night, these messages apparently having to do with my wbadmin backup (which starts at 2am) were logged in my System Event Log:

SYSFAIL error SMQ2 during initial load of PLANTs

Hello Everyone,
We are on CRM50 and during the process of the initial download of plants not all plants were replicated. Now we are attempting another load using DNL_PLANT and getting the following error:
Business partner ##1 does not exist. I have not seen this error before and I am not sure how to proceed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers
Wiktor

Hello Tiest,
That did not seem to be the issue. I went through and validated the load objects and there was some new configuration in the sales area which I moved over. All other objects loaded correctly.
When I executed DNL_PLANT got:
Not all address numbers have yet been issued.
More confused then before. Any other thoughts?
Thanks for the help!
Cheers

Windows 7 64bit error message during system backup

As part of a backup routine, I have a scheduled disk image backup to an external hard drive. This worked happily for some months - until now!
I now get an error message -
" The operation failed due to a device errror encountered with either the source or the destination. If the source or destination in on a disk, run CHKDSK/R on the source or destination volume. and then retry the operation.
Details: the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
Error code: 0x8078012D "
I have run CHKDSK but no errors reported.
Also I have tried two different external drives but get the same problem which makes me think the problem is with Windows Backup rather than the external drives.
Searching the web showed a solution or two but nothing worked - still got the problem.
Any bright ideas?
Thanks in advance
David

Thanks C3PO
I do suspect that the problem lies somehow with the program and I have queries outstanding with MS and on one of their forums. However it has to be said that the answers, so far, have not helped.
I've checked that the relevant MS Services (in msconfig.exe) are running and used CHKDSK on both source and destination disks without finding any evident problems. What I have also come across is a fair number of comments that the Win 7 Backup program is unreliable in any event - one user saying that system image backups only work about 4 in 10 times.
I agree that the problem is unlikely to involve Toshiba - nevertheless a user of the Toshiba Win7 forum may have experienced the same problem.
In the end, I think I will simply give up on Win 7 Backup and use Norton, although the system image backup was quick and neat whilst it worked.
Regards
David

Does Disk Utility see it at all anymore?
If not, eject and disconnect it power it off for a few moments, then Restart your Mac. Reconnect and see if either Disk Utility or Drive Genius can see it.
Be sure all connections are snug and secure; try different ports, cables, and combinations of the two (a plug that works fine in one port may not make good contact in another).
It does sound like either the data is corrupted beyond repair, and/or the drive is failing or has failed.

Windows XP displays "Disk Error" message during initial setup

I have gotten as far as choosing C:Partition3 <BOOTCAMP>[FAT32]. Windows setup then copies a bunch of files, initializes and then restarts and tells me to press any key which I do then I get a disk error and have to do a hard restart. I am never taken to the screen where I am to choose between NTFS and FAT so that I can format the partition.

A SOLUTION TO "INSTALL XP PRO SP2 INTO BOOTCAMP WITH LEOPARD, BUT NO OPTION TO FORMAT PARTITION"
After spending 14 hours trying to follow each and every leads in various discussion rooms, i was overjoyed to finally see the Windows logo on my screen.
THANK YOU TALEZ !
I followed carefully what he and Paul Thurrott's Supersite instructed. Below is Talez's advice:
Check to see if there is a file named "winnt.sif" inside the I386 folder on the Windows XP CD.
If there is follow these instructions to rebuild the Windows XP CD:
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp
Skip steps 2 and 3 (since you already have SP2 built in) and remove the "winnt.sif" file from the I386 folder before going on to step 4.
If this was not working, my last option would be to reformat the whole Mac HD, install Windows, re-install Leopard and retrieving my data from Time Machine - although this is highly risky and not recommendable.

My Time Machine stalls during initial backup on external hard drive even after several hours.

We have been using Time Machine and an external hard drive to back up our MacBook for almost a year now. Recently, the hard drive (using a USB) was removed without ejecting it properly. After that, the auto backups began stalling. We tried setting up Time Machine all over again but the initial back up stalls at different places (like 6MB of 87GB) even if it's left for several hours overnight. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? If not, can anyone suggest another inexpensive way of backing up our files from our MacBook?
Thanks!
Shane

It might have created a new user and loaded under that.. new user being the old user. But if you have issues do it again, only this time pick where the backup will go.
http://pondini.org/TM/16.html
The other questions might also be relevant as a new hard disk will make the Mac appear to the TM backup as a new computer.
See 14-18 for restore info.

TS3992 What happens if I press "Cancel Backup" on my iphone 5 in the middle of an initial backup as I didnt realise that a first time backup would take so long, according to my phone about 30 hours ?

Hi need help! Purchased iphone5 and I have recieved a message saying that I have to back-up the phone as it has "never been" backed up. I proceeded to "back up now" to icloud and the phone went into back-up mode as it should via my wi-fi connection. However I am now recieving a message saying that the back-up has "about 32 hours remaining" and as I didn't realise that a back-up would take this long I was wondering what will now happen if I press the "Cancel Backup" button? Will I lose any information from my phone i.e. contacts, calendars etc all the important stuff ? Or will the back-up just cancel without actually backing up any info at all and that I will then have to try again at a later date or back-up through itunes? Heeeeeelp please !!!!

Anything* >.<

TimeMachine interruption during initial backup to external hardrive

Dear All,
I was using TimeMachine for the first time on a QNAP NAS. It was plodding along quite well and I stupidly decided to change the IP address of my NAS with about 5 gigs of 160gig backup left to go. TimeMachine obviously lost the drive so I decided to start the backup again. My TimeMachine found the NAS again and started 'preparing the disk' for backup. After it did this to about 7gigs it only backedup 48megs and the finalized the backup with no issues.
I was just wondering if I had to run the backup again as this was my first backup.
Cheers,
D

Yes, Time Machine will recover from a failed or cancelled backup. But it usually takes a long time; may seem to be progessing very slowly; then may abruptly finish before it seems to have copied everything.
