after 3 days of screwing around these are the current apps on new (2nd) device. i had never tried to back up 3rd party apps before on first device.
that is how this all started. trying not to ever have it happen again.

yes it is...

Now you have said that you are getting a fatal error on 3rd party apps. You are trying to backup your apps using the Device switch method correct?

So now when you start up the DM? What does it say? (with phone connected)

Can you backup your device normally? As if you were doing a normal backup of device settings.

just did it. it worked.

I'm going to say that you have a 3rd party app that may be corrupt. As it stands, your PC is interfacing correctly. The DM can see your device and has the ability to find a store information from your device. The issue seems to stem from the app side of things and my feeling is that you now have an app that is inhibiting the backup.

so my next step is deleting apps one at a time till i can back them up ?

my quick pull is not working right so i may get lucky.

I have had to get another member of our help team to step in tevans...I need to step away. You will be in good hands. I think you are on the right track now. I will be checking in to see how you are coming along.

Hey tevansny, I'll be helping out MePascal as he has to go run some errands.

If I were in your position, I would start by deleting applications that are of least importance to me, and any problematic apps. So yes, you could start off by removing quick pull.
