Why did my phone non stop backing up?

Please help me....initially i wanted to sync the songs which i had added into my itunes library to my iphone. But after clicking Sync, it shows "step 2 of 4: Backing up...." and it has been N hours ago since i had pressed the botton Sync. What is wrong with my iphone? Does this means too many data to be backed up in my iphone? I do not think so as i do not have much apps in my phone and pictures or videos as well.
I'm a new iphone users and still adapting to this phone. Please someone help me. Why it just couldn't Sync the songs into the phone just a click away?

Why did my time capsule stopped backing up?

Why would my time capsule stop backing up, it is set to delet when the drive is full?

Many people report that TM no longer deletes old backups as it should.
That does happen sometimes, but for many different reasons.
TM should never run out of space
Yes, it can. First, remember that it deletes entire backups, not the backups of individual files. Second, it won't ever delete the last remaining backup.
So if it needs to do a very large backup, there needs to be room for the last remaining backup, plus the new one, plus some workspace. That's why we recommend that the TM drive be 3-4 times the size of the data it's backing-up. If it's much less than that, and there's a need for a large or full backup, there may not be enough room.
as i understand how it works, it should simply give a warning that the old backups need to be deleted.
That's how it worked on Leopard, if you had the "Warn when old backups are deleted" option checked -- the backup would fail if there wasn't room. All you had to do then was remove the check, but many folks didn't understand that.
So, effective with Snow Leopard, the option is now "Notify after old backups are deleted," and that's what happens -- old backups are deleted automatically when necessary, and a notice is sent only after the new backup completes.
It seems that after an upgrade install of the OS.. TM ceases to have the ability to delete old backups.. it simply runs out of space and refuses to backup.
Normally not. Some have turned out to be users who actually did a "clean install," erasing their internal HD. If you do that, and don't use either Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to put your data back (and transfer Computer Settings), the erased drive is treated as a different one. In that case, TM will do a full backup, so requires a lot space.
However, effective with Mountain Lion, TM does add more space for "padding" than before, sometimes quite a bit more, so a drive that was barely large enough on Lion or earlier may be too small now.
EDIT: A good way to figure out what's going on is to look at the log messages, either by using Console and filtering for backupd, or via the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting

Why did my phone shut down when I started updating software?

Why did my phone shut down when I started updating software?

Hi Patraposo,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It is difficult to know why devices behave unexpectedly; however there are several articles on the Support site that can help recover your iPhone if the update did not complete.
If your iPhone will not turn on, start with the steps in the "Power/Battery" section of this article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
If you just see the "connect to iTunes" screen, the steps in this article can help:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If you see another symptom, feel free to reply with more information.
Best,

Why did my phone unexpectedly shut down

Why did my phone unexpectedly shut down two days later after system update?

Your phone shut down enexpectedly because of a bug in iOS 7. The bug is also present in iOS 7 for iPad 2,3 and iPhone 4,4S. I'm running an iPad 3 and updating to iOS 7.0.4 solved the problem for me. Hope it helped

Why did my phone freeze up during update

why did my IPhone freeze up during current update?

I have the same problem. I plugged in my iPhone, started the iOS 6.1 udpate. 30 minutes later, my iPhone4 is frozen in the "loading" screen with Apple logo and progress bar - only the progress bar isn't moving and I can't reset the iPhone.
Help appreciated. My iPhone is just a brick with a progress bar, currently...
I can not power the iPhone down, and a hard reset simply brings me back to the progress bar screen on the phone. I can not restore from backup through iTunes because the phone is locked.

Why did my phone die?

SO my android died and i pressed the volume and start button and it turned on but why did it die anyway??

Hi there Sofiya19!
I know it can be confusing when an electronic does something like this. This is called hibernation mode and sometimes occurs when the phone hasn't been rebooted in quite some time or is needed after a new application is installed.
It's very similar to a home computer that reboots itself randomly. It doesn't happened too often, but is needed for the cpu to reset.
Please don't be alarmed as this is normal and I'm glad you were able to get yours back up and running. Now, if it happens extraordinarily often, that's a different concern, so keep us updated!
Thanks,

WHY DID MY PHOTOSMART 6510 STOP FUNCTIONING AFTER BEING GREAT!!!

why did my photosmart 6510 suddenly stop printing??

Hi RENTANURSE,
I'll need more information from here to assist. Is there an error when printing? Which type of computer are you using? What is the connection from the printer to the computer?
I was an HP employee.

Why did my phone go black?

why did my iphone4 go white and then it went black?

Hey,
To force-power off, hold the home button and lock button down at the same time for 8 seconds until it restarts -- you'll see an Apple logo. My guess would be that the app wasn't "compatible" with iOS 7 but it was downloadable on iOS 7. Did you see the Details section to see if they said "iOS 7 support coming soon?"

Why did my phone's airplay stop working when I updated to ios 6.1.1

I recently updated my iPhone 4S to the new operating system ios 6.1.1, and I now cannot connect my phone to my apple tv through airplay. I still can connect my wife's iPhone (3GS) to the apple TV, so I know it is not a network thing or something like that.
Does anyone know of a solution?
If you use airplay with you apple TV, I would reccommend holding off on the update until this error is fixed.

Today, I did a restore on my iPhone 4S, then reinstalled ios 6.1.1. My airplay works now as I had set it up as a new phone instead of restoring the from one of the backups.
Sometimes when a person restores a phone from one of the backups, you will just reinstall the previous problem. I also did not setup iCloud when I reinitialized my phone for I did not want the processing to be impeded.
I'll setup iClould later and see if that causes airplay to stop working as I think that was the cause.
I believe the problem was that there was just too many apps running in the background and too little ram and/or processing power left for airplay. With the new ios 6.1.1, it probably takes up more processing than previous versions and just enough to shutdown airplay and keep it from running.
Miket502, you might have a simular problem. I'm not telling you what to do with your phone, but it may be a solution to do what I did.

Why did my phone stop syncing with husband phone with calendars?

My phone's calendar
has stopped syncing with husbands, the settings appear to all be the same.

Just an update; after an hour chatting with an Apple support person, I had to wipe my iPad & reload everything. Now it syncs fine, but it has taken way too long to reload everything. Note that iCloud or computer backups are all or nothing; you cannot do selective restores if you do not want to restore a lot of old stuff.

HT203171 Magic Trackpad fail. It keeps clicking, sticking, selecting everything to the point of unusability. I'm lucky I have my old "mighty" mouse as a back up. SO annoyed right now. What gives anyways? Why did the trackpad just stop working all of a sud

It's bugging me so bad.
I loved everything about it too, the swiping, gestures and everything are so intuitive. Now, no more thatn 20 minutes ago it just goes crazy. Rebooted the computer. Changed the batteries. Disconnected and reconnected everything. ARGGGGGG.
So lucky I kept an old wireless Might Mouse around, but it feels like being stuck in the past.
Now I'm really upset.
OK, so that was mostly a rant, but man, I'm really ticked. My productivity has gone down in half! I was very acustomed to the trackpad by now - 1 year after purchasing my iMac... and conveniently AFTER the warranty. Those things are like $70!!!
So far there doesn't seem to be a solution. I know it's not a battery or anything - the trackpad is separate from the computer. Tried cleaning the trackpad several times, and no effect.
Please help -
Thanks,

Forget everything I wrote about bluetooth device interference having anything to do with this issue. I was obviously headed down a rabbit trail with this suggestion.
What I've since determined (that is working for me) is to focus in on the small round bumpers on the backside of the trackpad. I suspect that over time these probably loosen and become more sensitive or even stuck. This might explain the auto-selecting in the erratic behavior of the trackpad.
As a workaround, I used a felt cloth (folded several times) to elevate the backside of the trackpad so that the bumpers no longer touch my desk. This takes a loose or stuck bumper switch out of the picture. Then I enabled the trackpad features for "Tap to click" and "Secondary click," which are located at: System Preference > Trackpad > Point & Click.
Only if you have serious computer repair skills would I advise attempting to adjust the sensitivy of the bumper switch: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repairing+Magic+Trackpad+Click+Feature/6171/1
As for myself, I'll be purchasing a new trackpad tomorrow morning. I love this device, but it seems that once the bumpers begin to wear out, they do so quite abruptly, and your best course is to get a replacement before pulling out any hair you still have left.
Again, my apologies about the mis-cue on the bluetooth issue. Good luck!

Why did my touch screen stop working?

Very upset my touch screen stopped working on phone new years eve. What could be wrong??

flakris,
Oh no! This is not what we like to hear. I want to make sure that we are able to get your phone back up and running. Is there any kind of physical or liquid damage to the device? Can you try to press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons until the device powers off then release (approximately 10 seconds). Please keep us posted.

Why did I ever bother coming back to BT ??? Thinki...

I decided to come back to BT from TalkTalk after experiencing poor service, no service, no support and overbilling from them. After much research and advice from relatives decided to return to BT as they at least appeared to be making an effort to improve since we were last with them......What a mistake I appear to have made! I will try to explain this giving the best timeline possible.
Sunday 4th September - Order placed, line rental saver paid upfront, Estimated Activation date of 20th September given....so far so good, the timescale seems reasonable. I am self employed so I made sure that I was free for the 20th and no jobs accepted from clients. I was also told that I would be advised of any change to scheduled appointment.
I should explain at this stage that the other occupant of the premises is my 85 year old mother who is hard of hearing and requires my being there for any type of engineer visit............and I cannot afford to lose money by not working !!
Thursday 15th September - received an email advising that the modem had been despatched in readiness for the 20th September. Logged on to bt.com/trackmyorder to get the reference number for tracking purposes. On double checking the order I noticed that the Engineers visit/activation date had now changed to 23rd September without warning, no email, text or call to me as was promised by sales when ordered and paid for. A call to customer services from my mobile kept me in a queue to India for 45 minutes before being answered....explained the situation and advised them that the 23rd was no good to me as I was away on business....we'll check they said and will call you back but the 23rd now seems to be the fixed date for the Engineer visit. Guess what ? yes of course there was no call back.
Friday 16th September - No call back or email from the customer services call centre in India all day. As I was told that the new date was 23rd September, I accepted a job from a client for the 20th September whilst desperately trying to change my business appointments on the 23rd in order to free myself up for the new date which I managed to do. Phoned customer services....India again, another 30 minutes in a queue on a mobile, to express my dissatisfaction and seek reassurance that the 23rd was now the fixed date. Was assured it was and that they would email confirmation to me.
Saturday 17th September - woke up to a text on my mobile from BT confirming the engineers visit for.....wait for it....... the 20th September !!!!! Phone calls to India again expressing my total annoyance and dissatisfaction at what had been done...was advised if the 23rd was not convenient they could cancel and rearrange for the next available appointment which would be the 12th October !!!! I advised the person I was dealing with that I was not prepared to wait that long for connection especially as I had paid up front for line rental and pointed out that as the customer the engineers visit should surely be agreeable and convenient to both parties.....a concept they seemed not grasp......they then asked what would be convenient to me, so I suggested the 22nd as I have the whole day free as I am working from home on that day......was told that was impossible could I give them a date in October.
I then advised them that I was not be prepared to wait until October and if they could not offer me a date next week other than the 20th or 23rd I would be cancelling the order totally............then came the most ridiculous and totally unexpected statement from the CS operator....."would you like me to cancel the order for you now sir " on that note I asked to be transferred to a sales operator in the UK...............
This they duly did and was transferred to Chris who assured me he was in Lancaster (or Leicester ??).....after explaining the whole story and timeline to him he assured me he would speak to the engineers and see if the date of 22nd September could be arranged and he would email me confirmation of our conversation. I again reiterated that an October date would not be acceptable and if a mutual date could not be agreed then I would be cancelling the order.
Guess what............................yes of course....no email !!!
Despite all the assurances that BT give on customer service and actual product I ask myself these questions..............Are BT still as bad as they were 10 years ago? Is offering to cancel the order for me true customer service ???
I await the outcome of this with bated breath, but in the meantime will investigate the alternatives to BT and TalkTalk............
Solved!

Why did Google images suddenly stop loading in Firefox 17?

Suddenly 3 aspects of Google stopped working in Firefox from my home computer:
1) autocomplete predictions
2) images
3) maps
All these features work in IE, just not Firefox.
I have been searching the Internet for a solution, because I was sure it couldn't be "just me." But among all the solutions I've found in various places, none have restored these functions.
I have updated Java and Flash. I have checked security levels. I have tried a new Firefox profile. I have verified that the Enable button next to "Run ActiveX controls and plug-in" is selected, AND that the Enable button next to "Binary and script behaviors" is selected, AND that the Enable button under "Active scripting" is selected.
I've tried other solutions as well, but I don't even remember them all (I know, I should have written them down).

*sigh* Sometimes the simplest...STUPIDEST...solutions fix the problem.
OK, I had read while I was searching for suggestions, that someone had discovered that their computer time was set wrong and this interfered with the java certificate, thus disallowing access to Google maps and Google images thumbnails. I immediately looked at my computer time and saw it was showing the correct time in the XP task bar.
What I didn't see, because I didn't check further, was that it was showing the wrong MONTH. I had used the calendar to look for a date in 2013 and apparently had selected November when I reset it. Once I corrected to December AND synced the Internet time as well, everything went back to normal (of course, duh).
Thank you for your help here. I hope the next person looking for a solution has the sense to check the ENTIRE setting for time and date.
