Genie Timeline Unspecified Error

Getting an "Unspecified error" from Genie Timeline resident App that keeps repeating every second with annoying sound. Acknowledging the error pop-up window does not clear message because it keeps repeating.  I believe the error was initiated when I interrupted (paused) a ReadySHARE backup that was unintentionally started.  Subsequently, I restarted and completed the backup, but the repeating error message continued throughout and thereafter.  The only way I was able to stop the message and beeping was to use Task Manager to terminate the process GenieTimelineService.exe.  Obviously this drastic action defeats the scheduled backups by the ReadySHARE application.  How can I permanently clear the error message?  Also please fix the bug that initially triggered the error and please eliminate the unnecessary annoying beeping from the logic.

Hi @DLSchmidt11,

 

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the app then going through the backup setup again?

Re: Genie Timeline Unspecified Error

Thanks for the feedback Dexter.  I did as you suggested and unintstalled, then re-installed the ReadyShare Vault application on my Windows XP desktop Dell computer.  This cleared the error.  I then modified the backup settings (frequency and max storage size) and started a new backup.  This new backup ran to 99% complete (1 item remaining) and again triggered the repetitious "unspecified error" message.  Again the error will not clear when acknowledged.  I subsequently rebooted the PC and the error message returns.  I re-opened the ReadyShare app, which still showed 99% complete, then paused and resumed the backup.  The backup status now indicates 100% complete, but the error meesage persists.

 

I have also since installed ReadyShare Vault on my new Windows 10 Dell laptop and sucessfully ran a backup with no error messages.  Do you have any other ideas regarding the "unspecified error" message that continues on my Windows XP machine?

Re: Genie Timeline Unspecified Error

Hi @Abuelo and @bfd245,

 

1. What is the model number and firmware version of your device?

2. Do you have the ReadySHARE Vault program installed?

3. What is the operating system of the device where you are experiencing the issue?

4. Does the issue persist on your other devices where you have the program installed?

 

Regards,

Hi @bfd245,

 

Please update the router's firmware to the latest version (1.0.3.48) available and do a factory reset.

Re: Genie Timeline Unspecified Error

Hi @DexterJB,

 

I installed the latest versions of Genie and Readyshare vault on a different PC running windows 10 as well and it worked just fine.  I am guessing this issue we are seeing is with the update process from one version to the next.  Since uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't fix the issue, could it be that the uninstall doesn't remove everything it needs to?  Could you provide any insight on what else we may want to delete in order to get a fresh install?

Hi @myryde77,

 

You can try third party uninstaller applications that can remove all files related to the program if that is an option for you then do a fresh install of the ReadySHARE Vault.

Re: Genie Timeline Unspecified Error

Hi ,

I am experincing teh same issues.

Where do I download the old version from?

My R6700v2 disconnects from the internet every day and it seems this generates the error message in the GenietimeLine error... or coud it be the other way around?

Anyway, can you please advise to remove this annoying error? I have to switch of my speakers - which has other consequences!

thanks in anticipation,

Allan
