Why am i getting an error message when trying to backup my iphone

Getting an error message that iTunes can't synch ----phone because there was an error. 

If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

    Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a Pages template?

    You are getting an error message because there is an error.
    Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.

  • Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?

    I went through the forums and made sure that any blocks or copywrites weren't triggered by the file, it's clean and can be opened using a media player and other video editing software like windows MovieMaker. I keep getting "The importer reported a generic error" message and have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help?

    Re: Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv  file?
    This ARTICLE starts with a checklist on setting up a computer to run PrE best, then goes into a series of links for tuning up one's computer and OS, and then links on troubleshooting.
    There is also a link on posting all necessary info, to help others help you.
    Without knowing much more about your system, it is impossible to say much beyond that WMV's are tough assests to work with, requiring a lot of CPU horsepower.
    Good luck,

  • Why do I get an error message when trying to Extrude and Bevel my image?

    I am making a logo for a friend and he wants something similar to the Stark House symbol. (The Direwolf) but as a dragon instead. I used the pen tool to make the shape, and now I want to fill it in and make it more 3D. I can't fill it in properly and my image gets an error message when I try to Extrude and Bevel. Why is this?

    error message,
    Is the path/shape closed?
    Selecting it and Ctrl/Cmd+J should close it if not, then you may try again.

  • Why am I getting an error message when trying to download iOS 6.0.1?

    Given that iOS 6 and 6.0.1 have been out for a good few days now, why am I still getting an error message?  Is it simply a case of keep trying??

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Why am I getting an error message when trying to burn my CD collection to iTunes.

    The message "Error occurred while converting the file (song title). The required disk cannot be found".
    Only two particular CDs were affected with this error message while all the rest were ok. I'm burning them via an Apple USB SuperDrive onto my MacBook Air. The CDs in question are Flight of the Conchords and Goldie Lookin Chain (if that makes one iota of difference). Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Why do I get an error message when trying to open PE 8.0 projects with PE9.0?

    I am trying to open a project in PE 9.0 that I made with PE 8.0. Each time, and with different projects, I get this error message:
    "Projects created with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Premiere Elements are not compatible. Please use apropriate application to open this project."
    I have never used Adobe Premiere Pro nor is in installed on my computer! I updated my PE 8.0 with the patch that came out last year.
    My Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack  3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. I have an Intel Core2  processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4  GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
    My hard drive has been defragmented and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space.

    Can you create a test Project in PrE 9 and does that work. If so, close that Project and then Open it again in PrE 9.
    It could be as simple as your PrE 8 Projects just not Opening in PrE 9. There is often forward compatibility, but not always. It is usually best to finish Projects in the version, in which they were started.
    Good luck,

  • Why do I get an error message when trying to sync my ipads with my imac

    We have two ipads - version 2 I think - the last ones with the old style plug.  Both are running IOS 7.1.1  Over the last week, every time I try to sync either ipad with my imac (27" - about 18 months old) which is running OSX 10.9.2 I get the following error message.  "The Ipad cannot be synced. An unknown error has occurred (1723)"  In every case it takes a while for the error message to appear - the sync gives every impression of rolling along just fine through the various steps - when it reaches step 5 of 6 (syncing photos) it seems to hang up, then after a while the error message shows up. 
    Interestingly, there are no photos on the ipad, so nothing to sync to the imac, but I discovered all of this when I tried to sync some photos in the other direction, from iphoto to one of the ipads. All I got was the pin wheel of death. I am running the most current version of iphoto too.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this would be gratefully accepted.

  • Why do I get an Error Message when trying to "External link" an SWC?

    hi.
    when I use the "external link" option in the SCW linckage
    dialog box, the running SWF produces an alert box saying :
    "VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::Application could
    not be found.

    at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::tick()
    I did what the documentation said, still I get that error...
    ..quoting the "Using flex builder 2" doc:
    "To set the SWC file as an external library file:
    With a project selected in the Navigator view, select Project
    > Properties > Flex Build Path.
    Select the Library tab, and then select and expand the SWC
    file entry to display the SWC options.
    Double-click the Link Type option. The Library Path Items
    Options dialog box appears.
    Select the External option, and click OK. "
    Anty suggestions?
    thanks,

  • Why do I get an error message when trying to publish animate deployment package?

    I continually get the following error message every time I try to publish an animate deployment package.  I have no idea what Poster3.png is.  There is no image in my file with that name.  I have tried saving my composition under a new name and it doesn't resolve the issue.  I have no idea how to fix this.

    You may get this error if you had done the following:
    - create a comp and save it
    - publish to OEM
    - delete the poster in file system
    - publish again
    Workaround:
    Go to the composition click on stage and generate a poster image from the properties panel.
    Now publish again.
    Let me know if this works.
