Why does my iPhone say "Backing up Rachel's iPhone" but not update?

I haven't updated it in a while (bad me ): ) but I went to update it about 20 minuets ago and it said to transfer purchases. So I did. I then went ton update to IOS5 and for probably 10 minuets its just said "Backing up Rachel's iPhone" and there is a tiny sliver of a green bar. This happend about 3 months ago too, and I just got frustrated and canceled the sync. What do I do? Do I just be patient or is there something wrong with my iPhone?

Either your current backup or your Windows socket layer is corrupted (assuming your computer runs Windows). So, If it is Windows you need to open a command window with Administrator privileges and type the following:
   netsh   winsock  reset
Then reboot your computer. If it still doesn't back up in a reasonable time (less than an hour, and showing progress all the way) you need to delete your current backup by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab.

  • Why does my Mac say my hard drive is full, but that's not true?

    Why does my Mac say my hard drive is full, but there should be plenty of space on it?

    You need to get a program like OmniDiskSweeper,  it will check your drive and see what is taking up the space.  From there you can decide what to do.

  • Why does my webcam transmit fine in html5 in Chrome, but not in Firefox?

    On every website I try, Firefox does not support getusermedia, so I cannot transmit audio and video data from my Windows 8.1 tablet in html5. Thus, I cannot use Firefox Hello. I have tried tinkering with numerous settings in about:config, but nothing works. I have exactly the same problem as this guy:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25280592/webcam-video-stream-working-in-chrome-but-not-firefox
    In Google Chrome, however, there are no problems with this. This is not an add-ons issue, as I have uninstalled all addons and have re-installed Firefox anew twice. On a friend's Windows 8.1 laptop, however, there is no such problem. So what, exactly, can I do to remedy this situation?

  • I have renewed my membership via prepaid card. Why does it still say that my membership is expired and not letting me use any applications?

    I had a year long prepaid subscription that was up in August. I bought another prepaid subscription (student edition), and I renewed online. However, my account still has not registered that I have renewed, and I cannot access any of my applications. When looking at the account settings/manage account menu, my account reads that I have a subscription to be renewed August 2015, as if I have renewed and everything. But, my bill does not register that I have paid for it. My desktop add-on also does not register that I have renewed. If I go to renew again, a message prompts that this card has already been redeemed (which I did back in August). How to I get my account to register that I do have a subscription!?

  • Why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page, why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page but will work if im hardwired into the internet

    my computer is showing full connection through the airport but wont open any web pages it says it is not connected to the internet... When i hard wire the internet in with the cord it works just fine so i think i somehow messed up or turned of my wi fi capability but i show my airport is on

    Your computer is showing it's connected to the Wifi router all right, but perhaps the router isn't connected to the Internet.
    If your connecting the Ethernet cable directly to the modem and resetting it, bypassing th erouter and then getting online, fine that's good.
    If your connecting to the router directly and getting on the Internet fine, it means the router is connected to the Internet.
    If the last one is true then likely what has occured is your DCHP lease is expired because your computer doesn't have the right time and date as the router, it's showing a good signal but your not connecting.
    Open System Preference and check the date and time and set it to update to Apple's time server for your location.
    Sometimes Apple's time is off, as third party routers get their time elsewhere and sometimes the two don't match and thus DCHP lease is expired.

  • Why does it keep saying my security code is invalid, but it clearly is not?

    I used a gift card my brother had bought me for christmas and I assumed I could used it because it was american express and it had a card number. So I put that in and it seemed to work fine, but when I tried to switch back from the american express to my visa, it said that my security code was invalid and that my card had been declined(the american express).

    If you know the card ifo is valid I would contact the iTunes store.  Go to the Itunes Store Account and Billing section of the following:

  • Why does my Ipad say headphones are connected when they are not?

    I do not have sound on my iPad1. When I try to turn up the volum it indicates headphones are connected, but they are not. When I do use headphones they do work. I have rebooted the iPad, reset and restored the iPad and the issue still exists. Is this a straight hardware problem?

    iPad has a mechanical switch inside the jack so it knows when the headphones are plugged in.
    It may be stuck.
    Inspect it to see if something is in there, such as toe jam.
    Blow the port out with compressed air.
    Try inserting and removing a headphone plug several times.

  • Why does iPhoto 8.1.2 work on one iMac but not another when both are the same spec both running Mavericks 10.9.1?

    I have a studio of 7 iMacs all running Mavericks 10.9.1, six of the machines are able to open iPhoto 8.2.1 but for some reason after updating the seventh, iPhoto vanished completely from that machine. I reinstalled it from a copy I had saved on a HDD but it now says it's unsupported with this version of OSX. I don't want to pay the £10 + for a piece of software that is only being used to import photos from the occasional iPhone so wont be installing the new version, especially as I know 8.2.1 does work on Mavericks.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Reinstall v8 from the install disk as, at a guess, the version of the HDD is missing components.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Why does a utube video show on my MacBook Pro, but not on my iPad?

    Hello,
    My MB Pro runs Mavericks, ver.10.9.4, my iPad is an iPad4 ver. 7.1.2 (11D257), Model: MD512B/A, 64GB Retina.  Browser: Firefox ver 32.0.1
    I use iWeb 3.0.4 (601) to run my website: http://www.lakesweddingmusic.com
    On my website, I have three uTube videos, which run perfectly fine on my laptop, but one of them - the first one on the site, with the picture of a bride - refuses to load on my iPad.  I have used exactly the same method for importing the HTML code for all the videos, yet the first video just will not appear on the iPad for some reason.  I have no idea why this should be the case.  When I first uploaded the video to uTube and imported the code to iWeb, it worked for a while, but now - nothing.
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Apparently my first response was off in left field.  The DVD player has its own code.  My recommendation is to change the code when it asks.  It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code.  If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

  • Why does the @font-face work in a Private Tab, but not in a normal Tab?

    I consistently find that the @font-face does not work in Firefox unless I use a Private Tab, but I prefer to use a regular Tab so that I can keep track of what pages I have visited. In a Private Tab the Android app displays Hebrew with cantillation marks as nicely as Windows does using the very same font. This is probably an unintended bug, as I cannot imagine why you would want Private Tabs to work better than the regular ones. The css function in question is:
    @font-face {
    font-family: 'Shlomo LB';
    src: url('../ShlomoLightBold.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    }

    Hello,
    Thank you for bringing this up. There is an open issue in Bugzilla - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769194 src:local() @font-face rules doesn't work on Android]. But in this case you are mentioning a src:url, so I don't know if they are related.
    Also, can you please confirm if you are using NoScript or any other plugin on your browser and if there are settings that differ for the normal tabs vs. private tabs (noscript has an option to block @font-face).
    Would it be possible for you to create a sample for testing this?
    Thank you

  • Why does my macbook air work when connected to HDMI but not my iMac

    Hi. I have an HDTV, an HDMI cord, and a HDMI -> thundebolt adapter. I plug this in to my 2013 MBA and it works fine, but when I plug it into my iMac, nothing happens.
    Why?
    Do I need a DVI -> HDMI adapter (I already have one for my dual monitor, so it would only be 5$ for the adapter.

  • Why does Calendar sync with Google on a new user, but not my original one?

    I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro that came running Mountain Lion out of the box. I have used Mail and Messages with my various Google accounts since I purchased it, but never Calendar. When I checked the Calendar option all I got was the header for where the calendars should be.
    I cannot see any calendars on that account, create/view/edit events, or anything. My sync settings on the Google side are just fine as it works on other devices. Last night I took it a step further and created a new user account on my laptop and first thing I did was connect my Google account. Everything worked.
    I have tried deleting the Calendar cache files, preferences, accounts, and pretty much anything short of the app itself. I even went ahead and cleared out my Keychain of anything relating to that account or Google in general. As a last ditch effort, I did a full clean up and reset of the SyncServices system.
    Short of painstakingly comparing the two accounts I have no idea what could be causing this problem. There are no user specific applications or extensions running on my machine, and I've performed no "under the hood" tweaks to Mountain Lion.
    Does anyone have any idea where I should be looking for a cause? I haven't found anything like this problem online yet, and I definitely don't want to migrate my stuff to a new account.
    Key points:
    Google Calendars do not sync at all to my primary user account.
    I've tried multiple Google accounts.
    Only a new user account in Mountain Lion is able to connect.
    All SyncServices files and all Calendar files have been wiped and recreated to no effect.

  • Why does ESC work to exit some full screen apps but not all?

    Example, while in full screen if I am in the web browser(I use firefox) clicking esc doesn't exit full screen, but when I am in photo booth esc works just fine. I noticed it with a few apps, sometimes it works and other times you have to go and click the exit option in the top right corner. I'm new to mac, this is my first mac and I only got it a few days ago so I'm quite uneducated with the software.

    I found another thread that helped.  I switched to 3-finger swipe then back to 4-finger, however everything froze and I lost my curser.  I actually had to force quit the Finder twice before it took effect.  Now it works.  That thread was:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191453?start=0&tstart=0

  • Why does my IMAC super drive recognize data dvd's but not movies?

    My 27" Intel Imac recently stopped playing dvd movies. The drive still recognizes data disks but not movies. When I insert a dvd movie the drive makes noises for 30 seconds then eject the disk.

    Have you changed region codes on movies?  It will only change for a total of 5 codes.

  • Why does Proxy Authentication prompt for user/pass on Win7 but not XP?

    Trying to use NTLM authentication for our proxy through Firefox 7.0.1. It works great in Windows XP - the user doesn't ever get prompted for his username or password when going to the internet. However, when using the same settings with Windows 7 machines going to the same internet sites, they always get prompted for username and password. Is there a workaround for this? Is this a bug?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
