Unable to backup iPhone for iMac

I try to do a backup on my account through my iMac iTunes, but get an error code.  'Failed attempt to copy the disk "MacIntosh HD".  An unknown error has occurred. -(54) ' I need to back up my phone to trade it for a new.»  I have updated my iPhone and iTunes and still no luck.  Any suggestions?

54 is error - is

In a reference OS9, error-54 is a lock of software on a file or a permissions error. (Although there is no official list of OSX error code some old codes still apply to OS x.)

First of all, just try to restart your computer.

Try quitting iTunes, then removing the version .xml (not .itl!) the library in the iTunes folder file (iTunes will generate a new).

iTunes Library can be saved (error - 54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814 - various things to try.

  • Photos of the iPhone for iMac

    Salvation;

    I am trying to download pix from my iPhone on my iMac. It has been so easy with iPhoto or Adobe Bridge. But now, nothing seems to work.

    Same AirDrop does not work. I use Airdrop often between my laptop and my iMac, but I can't seem to do it between my iPhone and my iMac.

    With the USB connection, the iMac does not recognize my iPhone. I have the latest or next to last OSs for each.

    I resorted to emailing of small lots of pix for myself.

    Any ideas would be very appreciated.

    Thank you;

    Chris

    Importing Photos works exactly the same way as he did in iPhoto, connect your source, run Photos, see the sidebar menu display, select your iPhone in the sidebar, click on all imports.

    You can also use Image Capture in your Applications folder.

  • Non-Apple Time Machine backup Drive for iMac 27 "5 k

    I decided on getting a 27 "iMac.

    With my current iMac, I have a 2 wire to USB 2.0 external drive which I use for Time Machine.

    I would like to do something similar, since 1) it is cost-effective and 2) of my experience works.

    I look at the first player on this list, a wired 3 GB USB 3.0 of Seagate: http://www.cnet.com/topics/storage/best-hard-drives-and-storage/external-storage - readers /

    Thoughts? Thank you.

    HSGT is currently the most reliable disks 3.5 "with Western Digital to the 2nd place. HSGT drive, personally and I would choose. If you go for a 2.5 drive "then always choose a Seagate model. You can buy the disc and a box at OWC. Do not use a wired reader but a drive directly connected unless you have wireless access to the drive is essential. Stick using a USB 3.0 connection.

  • Backup iPhone to iTunes for the first time?

    Hello.

    My mother-in-law has a new iPhone (6) and want to upgrade its old 4S for this.  She backed it up to iCloud, but not iTunes - it doesn't have a PC / laptop.  The new phone has been restore cloud backup now for nearly 12 hours (despite the "remaining time" not having never been above 55 minutes... it is increased slowly for 1 minute all day!) and the progress bar has slowed to a standstill.  However the thing spinning in the top status bar is still in progress, making me think they fade slowly somewhere...

    I have my MBP here, with my own library on it (library of songs k 25, several hundreds of applications, films etc.) and of course my own photo library iCloud etc.  Can I connect the phone, save it and then restore the backup to the new phone that?  Is it possible because iTunes library has nothing to do with the phone I'll have saved?  She'll want to transfer purchases etc. If no good...

    Thank you.

  • All my messages on my iPhone were mysteriously deleted after I restarted - is it possible to sync my old backup iPhone with my iMessages on my Mac?

    Hello!

    This past weekend, I noticed that my Messages app acted strangely on my iPhone 6. Accordingly, I turned and turn it on again and noticed that all of my posts have disappeared. I then did a hard reset and turned on - still no messages.

    I have my settings to keep my messages forever, what really saddened me to see all of my messages disappeared. In any case, I'm about to restore my backup iPhone on a new phone (6 s). Luckily, I backed up my phone the week last before my messages disappearing.

    I understand that when I restore a backup, everything that happened on my phone since will not appear. However, I have also the Messages on my MacBook Air app, when kept all my messages before and after the mysterious disappearance on my phone. Once I have perform this restore, I was wondering if it is possible to synchronize in any post-restore on my laptop to my phone messages.

    Thank you!

    Hi masizh,

    Congratulations on your new iPhone 6 s! I understand that you want to synchronize the restoration of post messages on your Mac Messages app to your iPhone 6 s. If these are the iMessages, your new device needs to load the entire conversation once you send or receive an iMessage from the recipient. SMS messages may not work in the same way, however, you can contact your operator for support with text messages.

    To continue to have your Mac with your iPhone SMS sync, don't forget to implement continuity with your new device.

    If you have an iPhone, the SMS that you send and receive on your iPhone may appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch as well. You can then continue the conversation from any device is closer to you.

    Set up SMS and MMS messaging

    Use this feature with any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that satisfies the requirements of continuity system. Make sure that your devices are configured as follows:

    • Each device is connected to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
    • On iPhone, go to settings > Messages > Send and receive. Make sure the Apple ID at the top of the screen is the same Apple ID you use for iMessage on other devices. Add a check to your address, phone number, so that you can be reached by both iMessage. Do the same on your iPad or iPod touch.
    • On iPhone, go to settings > Messages > transfer, text messages, then choose which devices to send and receive text messages from the iPhone. A verification code and then on each device. Enter this code on your iPhone.
    • On Mac, open Messages, and then choose message > Preferences. Click accounts, and then select your account from iMessage. Make sure the Apple ID shown here is the same Apple ID you use on other devices. Add a control to your phone number and email address.

    Use the SMS and MMS messaging

    To use this feature, simply start conversations as usual in the Messages application on any of your devices. Alternatively, you can start a conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, calendar, or other applications detecting phone numbers. All your incoming and outgoing messages on all your devices.

    Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question. Enjoy your new iPhone!

  • backup iPhone doubled with iOS9!

    I just finished a backup of the iPhone, the first since the upgrade to iOS9. After finishing, I noticed the available disk space on my MBP drop between t0 and about 50 GB 20 GB and when I looked the backups under mobile application support in my home library, I noticed that the backup of the iPhone has nearly doubled in size from 32 GB to 57 GB. My phone is 128 GB 6 more than about 30 GB in the film and 8 GB for free. The only thing really to have changed between two backups is the content of the camera (I deleted the photos and videos after the transfer of external drives and took new who are now in the film, but the size is roughly the same if anything a little less). I can only imagine that the iOS9 new backups are especially neglected before files or there is a bug in the software and large empty files are created in the backup. It might be also something to with the new way that in iOS9 apps are now separated rather specific for each device versions that shared between iPad and iPhone, for example, then perhaps for this reason, there are more specific iPhone data to back up than before.

    I searched the web for this and found a lot of people with a similar issue when the backup on iCloud (they have invaded the storage available iCloud), but I have not found one other report of what's happening with local backups.

    The question is quite a big problem for me because I have 2 iPhones (work) and iPad (iOS8 backups) currently stored on my MBP so if these backups will also have doubled they does not fit on my local drive and I really want to start to move the backup files on external drives unless absolutely necessary.

    If anyone has experienced similar or has a clue what is happening here, I would be grateful hearing from you.

    See you soon

  • Why Apple does not have a backup battery for Apple devices?

    Why Apple does not have a backup battery for Apple device? Recommended us that of our full when we are on the road, so they should do a backup battery for their devices instead of other companies do. The backup battery that I use for my iPhone 5 c don't let my phone screen timeout as he does when I'm with the regular wall charger. Can anyone help?

    Consult the manual for your backup battery.  There should be a switch or a button to activate the phone load.  It should not be left in charge mode all the time because the phone thinks it has unlimited power when charging, so disabled several energy-saving features (like display sleep, closing a connection Wi - Fi when he sleeps).

  • Geolocation and the timestamp in iphone > iCloud > iMac - what Photos Dungeon?

    Hello

    my employer takes 4 cameras with SD cards, 1 iphone more than 6s and 45 odd customers out in January. We are trying to work on how I can access the photos they take to create photo albums custom without us catching up to directly download of SD cards on the iMac (me in the office... a few hours drive...)

    So far, they just bought the iphone 6 s more and were planning to do a SD card reader to pick up the phone and import photos. Then synchronization using "my photo stream" so that I can see the images on the desktop iMac. (also nine).

    What worries me is that my workflow has the timestamp of all the images, also the geo-tagging. Up to now I imported directly from an SD card directly on the iMac and date stamps camera are here. I'm afraid I'll lose this information via iCloud.

    Please can someone confirm what metadata are kept intact during the transfer? That is to say iphone > icoud > imac for editing and album creation?  I know about 4 000 pictures in January, so I really need them stamped and geo tagged.

    Thank you, Pippa

  • Help on graphics card memory and upgrade for iMac

    Hello!

    I need advice on a good new graphics card for iMac 27 inch end 2012. My work is mainly in animation, Visual effects and game development soon, so I need an additional card to increase my speed.

    Currently, I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB card. Do you think I should stick to a similar card? Is there something new that will offer me better performance at an affordable cost?

    I don't have much money to spend, but I can certainly use additional graphics now.

    I have also 2 remaining memory locations that accepts DDR3 1600 MHz memory module, but it seems that this module is no longer available. If I had to choose between a graphics card and RAM, which should I go with?

    Finally, can I install these myself? I don't have any Apple Store around me and I do not trust the computer guys in my area.

    First of all, the iMacs are notoriously difficult to make something with except add RAM. Here is a good site where you can get some info on the dismantling, etc.:

    https://www.iFixit.com/

    Usually, graphics cards should be replaced with the same model/type of work (if any) - see above site for this kind of info. I'm quite sure that you cannot add just one - iMac is not designed for it.

    Regarding the RAM, just check out OWC for necessary RAM:

    https://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L

    Check that your model is listed. I don't know where you would have been told that the RAM is no longer available (FWIW, Apple does not sell RAM and uses of third party RAM in the new Macs).

    I'd go with the RAM - how many do you have now? Adding RAM is easy.
