You can't do a backup of icloud to an external drive.  In fact, does your post have anything to do with icloud (you're in the icloud forum)?
What kind of "system backup" are you doing?  Are you using Time Machine?

    I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

  • Since running the update, my mail is messed up.  Light saying connected to internet is green but SMTP's (connection Dr)  are red.  Is there a setting I need to change?

    I ran this update on my Mac.   Everything else seems fine BUT mail isn't connecting to the servers.  I've opened connection Dr.  says I'm connected to the internet but none of the servers e.g., gmail, or yahoo will connect anymore.  What do I try?
    About the OS X Mavericks v10.9.5 Update   This is the update I just ran.

    I just went back through and went through the port settings after looking up what should be there.  Why were some of them different after the update?
    I did make a couple changes to the port #'s and restarted my computer again.
    I opened the connection Dr.  says my internet is fine but still not receiving or sending email.  still shows that email is not connecting.
    I know the esp's work ( I finally figured out esp vs isp)  My email is up and working on my iPad so it is working MUST be a setting.
    it is 3:45 my time and I'm off to work for 4 pm - so this is another 3 hours of reading and working on this to try to reinstate my emails on my home computer.  Thank goodness my iPad wasn't mucked up too.
    I'll go through with a fine tooth comb after work at 10 tonight.
    I appreciate your help.

    when i download adobe creative cloud,it said the error code is 201.what does it mean??

    Error 201 indicates that the download of the installation files was unable to be resumed successfully.  I would recommend utilizing a different Internet connection.  If you are connected via WiFi try a wired connection.  If you are connected via a wired connection then please try a different cable
    Please refer to Error downloading Creative Cloud applications

  • What does it mean when I get "there was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"?

    What does it mean when I get “there was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)”?

    Sign out of the Mac App Store via the Store menu
    Quit the Mac App Store
    Log out of your Mac OS X user account (from the Apple menu)
    Log back in to your user account
    Launch the Mac App Store, sign in, and try downloading again
    You should be able to download any app trouble free now. If you still have problems, reboot your Mac.

  • What does it mean when I turn on my mac there is a file on the screen and it won't turn on?

    What does it mean when I turn on my mac and a picture of a file comes up and it won't turn on? I hold the button and turn it off and try again and sometimes it goes on and other times the file comes back on.... do I have a virus? What should I do?

    No, you don't have a virus, but if that folder has a flashing '?', it means your Mac can't find its' system:

  • What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

    What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

    Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly.  Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
    Horror stories?  That's a bit overly dramatic.
    No, it isn't.
    The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
    A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer.  Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude?  Or was I just lucky.

  • What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle?

    What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle? It's a old imac from 1997.

    I don't have original discs that it came with.
    Then you still can use the second option with the keyboard combo I posted, called "resetting the PRAM."
    Also when you way hold the c key down do you mean turn computer off and turn back on holding the c key?
    Yes, or you can simply restart. As you don't have the CDs, this isn't on the plate any more.
    The internal backup battery is not expensive and, in most iMacs is user-replacable. If yours has a tray-loading optical drive like this one:
    it takes a major teardown to replace the internal battery. If this is the case, you'd be better off to leave the computer plugged in all the time; that eliminates the main reason for having a working battery.
    If it has a slot-loading optical drive like this one:
    things are much easier. The battery is visible through the RAM access door on the bottom of the computer case. The manual:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iMacG3_2000UserManual.PDF
    has sketches of how to access the RAM and therefore the backup battery. Unfortunately, the pdf on the manual goes up sideways on-screen and the RAM instructions are pretty deep into the manual. It's probably easier to scroll (for a while) to the section on adding RAM and print the applicable pages.
    When you work on the battery, some sort of non-conductive pliers or large tweezer or forceps help unless you have tiny fingers. Make sure to note the polarity of the old battery and install the new one in the same orientation.
    The battery itself is readily available. If price is no oblect, you can get it for a small rasom from Radio Shack Store ("Tandy" outside the US) as part number 23-026.
    Online, they are dirt-cheap even after adding shipping. I buy backup batteries form this outfit:

  • What does it mean when there is an I tunes symbol on the screen with a charging cable underneath that?

    What does it mean when there is an I tunes symbol on the screen with a charging cable underneath that?

    Turn on the computer. Take the charging cable and connect one end to the bottom of the Touch and the other to a USB on your computer (back of the computer if this is a desktop computer). iTunes should open automatically and will probably give you a message it has detected an iPod in Recovery mode. Follow the onscreen steps from there and Restore it from any backup on the computer.

    Were you not plugged in via USB to begin with?
    I would recommend performing some resets just to be on the safe side. Unplug the external HD, and try these steps:
