Can someone help me with a problem backing up a game app?

Sep 17, 2012 9:50 PM

On my Asus Transformer. I thinks it's a TF101 with Honeycomb but I am not sure and I don't know how to ask it. The game I am having trouble with is Fish Farm. When I try to back it up I get 500: Internal Server Error. Some game elements require a successful backup (I guess they want to stress the importance of backup) and I am barred from them by this problem. I have googled around for a solution and find nothing. I thought maybe someone in the community would know. BTW, I really like this "game" although it's more of a project than a game. But the graphics are beautiful and I like having a live wallpaper that I more or less created myself, choosing the background and decorations and not just selecting the fish but actually "breeding them and raising them from babies". It's free on Amazon right now if anyone's interested.

Could be an issue on the app developer's end. Have you tried contacting them?

It appears to be a company called BITBROS INC, but all I can find out about them is that they are located in Sarasota. FL, from their corporation wiki. They don;t seem to have a web presence. It looks like Fish Farm is their only app, on Amazon at least. Most search links just go back to the game on Amazon or ITunes. They are really new, they just filed as a business in June of 2012. I hope they have other apps of this quality on offer in the future.

I asked here because I thought maybe this was a common app error that people encountered and had an easy solution for. If it's something game specific then I will just live with it. I did include mention of the problem in my Amazon review with a link to get replies via email, so maybe they are reading their reviews and will reply.

Here's a bit of info on the error you're getting:
*********************
How To Fix the 500 Internal Server Error

The 500 Internal Server Error is a server-side error, meaning the problem is not with your computer or Internet connection but instead is a problem with the web site's server.

Even though the issue is not yours to fix, there are some things you can try:

Reload the web page. You can do that by clicking the refresh/reload button, pressing F5, or trying the URL from the address bar again.

Even though the 500 Internal Server Error is reporting a general error on the web site's servers and not your computer, the server error may only be temporary. Trying the page again will often be successful."
********************
It might be that a file you're trying to back up is not downloading correctly from the website. Hope you can get it backed up correctly. Good Luck!

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
