4.7GB Backup every single day?

What's up with a daily 4.7GB backup? I check some email, hack some PHP code, and that's about it. 4.7GB seems like serious overkill every single day.

There are several possibilities.
You could move it to your TM drive, preferably in a separate partition.
You could exclude it from TM.
You could exclude it from TM but periodically copy it to a file that isn't excluded and would be backed-up. You could even automate this, with an AppleScript or Automator function, scheduled to run daily, or weekly, or whenever is appropriate.

Dots (events) for every single day in calendar (NEW issue)

Ever since I upgraded to FW 2.0 I have had "dots" appear in every single day of the calendar (symbolizing events) even though I have no events for those days.
Now - I KNOW about the issue with the recurring/repeating events as well as events that "begin" after they "end." That said, I have checked EVERY single event I have in the phone and in the calendar in Outlook and NONE of the events are repeating/recurring and all of them are set up properly with correct start/end times.
From my searching, the above seems to be what's commonly known to cause this problem. Those don't fit MY problem.
The odd thing here is, if I go backward in the month view on the calendar on the phone to February, there are no dots. There are also no events. However, if I go to March on the month view in the calendar, every single day has dots (and continues). The really weird thing here is if you look at the calendar in the month view while it's on March, you can see the last week of February at the top. And in that last week, while in the "March" view, the last week of February ALL has dots. But again, if you move back to "February," all those dots that were there disappear.
So...I'm at a loss now. I've wiped the events off the phone. Edited/pruned/etc. events in the Outlook calendar, and then re-synced with the order to overwrite that which is on the phone. Still no luck. Is this a glitch that needs to be corrected with new FW? Would a restore help? I just don't really know anymore..
Thanks,
John

I am having the same issue. However, I am syncing my calendar to my work computer and the issue presented itself when I upgraded to Office 2007 from 2003. I have since removed Office '07 and did a restore to my iphone which cleared the issue. Then did a sync again to Office 2003 and the issue re-appeared. Not sure if '07 added something to my calendar that is hidden but it is very frustrating.

Gets so slow that I have to pull the battery every single day!

I have had this issue from day 1 and is driving me crazy. Have to pull out the battery every single day just to be able to free the memory and so that it can run at a descent speed.
After taking out the battery, putting it back again and then switching the phone back on I will have a look in the application storage memory which will start at about 120mb. Over the next few minutes or hours the storage memory will get less and less till is sit with about 0 - 20 mb of storage memory. The device will then stop responding then eventually just hanging until I pull the battery then need to follow the process all over again.
I have up[dated the firmware and restored the phone back to defaults several times with no luck.
I do not install software on this phone. The only apps I install is watchstrap, twitter and Thelma navigator.
I have a 2gig memory card in the phone a swell.
I got to stop myself from throwing this piece of junk against the wall. Cannot wait for my contract to end so I can go for Samsung or android!! Unfortunately I got to wait still over a year. SO FRUSTRATING!!!

Hi and thank you for the advice.
I have installed the Blackberry Virtual Expert but does not have an option to see whats eating my memory. The only optioins it gives me is to do Display tests, Keypad tests, Audio tests and choose test, So i don;t think this software is going help me A few minutes my Application storage was sitting on 0.00MB and slowing dow and thinking now my memory has gone back up to 16.3MB then back up to 33.7MB. Its my lucky day but will have to do a battery pull probably laer again. Just to confirm all the software installed is..
Telmap navigtor
Screen Grabber
Whatsup app
Facebook app
Twitter
Blackberry Virtual Expert.
I think what i have to maybe do is to do another factory reset on the phone and install nothing on it. Monitor for a few days and then install one application. Monitor for a few days and so on. It's all i can think of. Thank you for the help anyways

Every single day.

I'm using a BEFW111s4 wireless router, and every single day at right around 4 PM, my wireless connection just stops working. It will work again if I reset my router, but it will go off again within 10 minutes. This entire cycle will repeat itself until around 7PM. Why does this happen?
It's not related to the other two people in the house using the router, because it will even do it when I am the only person online. I've tried multiple "fixes" but nothing works. Any ideas?

I think you can try to reset and reconfigure the wireless router .
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds .
Release the reset button and power cycle the router and modem .
Connect a computer with the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the router .
Open the setup page of your router .
Configure the wireless settings on your router .
Give a new wireless network name and Save the settings ,
Connect your wireless computer with the new wireless network name .
Check if the connection still dropping .

How can I block a number that calls me persistently every single day but only shows 3458 it does not show the full 10 digit

how can I block a number that calls me persistently every single day but only shows 3458 it does not show the full 10 digit so on your block page will not let me block it!!! So frustrated and I am not answering it with all the hackers out these days I don't want to give them access to my phone.

@lottsandy
I can understand your frustrations and concerns with receiving these unknown calls! I would love to assist you with preventing these types of calls.
Sounds as though you're receiving some type of telemarketing call. Although you're unable to add the shorter numbers to your call block list, you can definitely add your number to the National Do Not Call registry http://1.usa.gov/1whONxp. I hope this will help prevent those unwanted calls. Thanks!

Getting Z68A-GD80 (G3) to wake up every single day...

all,
is there a way to get my PC to boot every single day? I used to be able to do it with a gigabyte mobo, but I don't see the option in my Z68A-GD80 (G3) bios menu (there is RTC alarm, but that seems to be restricted to once a month).
so, is it possible?
if not, how can i configure a wake-up event via win7 x64 (as "OS" seems to be an option in the bios for wake-up events?)
any help much appreciated.

In the UEFI/BIOS, be sure to disable EuP 2013 (C1E might be the other one to disable along with it).
Added: Also disable Spread Spectrum.

HT3728 since Oct 25 my time capsule is not working properly. I enter the time machine to check my backups and the only thing I see is balck screen on every single day since I put it to work on my house. Any ideas on what's going on?

I am having problems with my time capsule.
It's not backing up... if I enter the time machine, all I see is a black page, any day I look, since the day I bought it.
Was not like this before Oct 25...
Any ideas on what's going on and what should I do to make it work again?

Check the USB cable first to make sure that it is operating correctly on another connection.
You may need to use a powered USB hub with the drive since the USB port on the Time Capsule is not a high powered port like you have on your Mac.
You may need to use the powered hub even if the hard drive has its own external power supply.

Why Must I License and Activate Every Single Day?

Every day I'm told I'm at 24 days left on a trial, or -1 days left and asked to sign in and license.
Which I do.
Same thing happens next day.

I've seen the products reverting to trial with incorrect number of days remaining happen before but launching the Adobe Application Manager should now update to latest version and correct the issue. See this document and the Additional details section.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/trial--1-launch.html
You should be able to just launch the Adobe Application Manager via the Start Menu (Windows) or alias in the Applications folder (Mac)

OS X crashes EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. - Advice needed please

Hi all,
Unfortunately search is disabled, so my apologies if this has been asked 100 times before.
Hopefully somebody can help me out.
I have a MBP running 10.5.4 that is less than 2 months old.
Everything is great about it, except for the very annoying fact that it crashes every day.
The grey curtain comes down and I manually have to restart.
It happens totally randomly, nothing in particular seems to trigger it.
I've verified the disc and permissions in disc utility and it says there are no problems.
Here are the last 3 panic logs (there's nothing in my crashreporter, only panicreporter), maybe someone can see the problem?

The last few lines of the kernel panic report seems to be pointing at NVIDIA though.. I'd assume it's something to do with the graphics subsystem.

Why does Firefox 21 close first session every single day?

My girlfriend has a new Vaio laptop running Windows 8 and Firefox 21.
Every time she starts Firefox for the first time (after powering up the laptop), the browser closes immediately upon her selecting a bookmark from the bookmark toolbar (usually Gmail) or whatever the first task is that she asks Firefox to do for her. (i.e., search or open a URL.)
I've already reset Firefox and confirmed that hardware acceleration is NOT enabled. (We've replicated the problem after completing these steps.)
The last four crash reports are below.
http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-1030722a-36af-425a-a6dc-9b7de2130607

http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-ee8ecce2-8878-4166-8135-362b92130531
Needless to say, this ongoing problem is very frustrating. Any suggestions on how we can make her browser work more reliably would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Why

Try the following:
Rather than touching your network name to connect touch Other... instead
Enter your network name and security type
Enter your password

1/3 of my addons don't work/places.sqlite corrupts every single day

You've got to stop throwing these updates out like cat vomit.
PLEASE notify the addon makers so that they have time to update the addon for the latest version.
One-third of my addons don't work with 5.0. Why can't you put a addon check BEFORE the installation so that one can decide whether the upgrade is worth it.
My screen reader doesn't work. They just updated the software less than a month ago. Is this rapid cat-vomit pace of software updates really necessary??
There are some addons that are absolutely necessary. I cannot use Firefox without a screen reader. Why you don't have one as part of the software installation 20+ plus years after ADA is beyond me.
Now, I'm going to have to spend the afternoon uninstalling this piece of useless crap and reinstalling 4.0.1.
Firefox is seriously beginning to not be worth the effort. It's a resource pig. You have to modify it (addon) to get it to work reasonably. Not really worth the effort.
I've had a problem with the history going into the wrong date bucket for at least a month (probably longer) ... see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/821193. No response to my post. I'm not the only one with the problem.
Why keep updating buggy software and not fixing any of the problems that people are having??

95% of the most popular add-ons hosted at AMO are 5.0 compatible (or beyond 5.0). <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/compatibility/report
If you repeatedly have problems with your select add-ons not being updated in time for the release of a new version of Firefox, why do you install the upgrade as soon as it comes out? Wouldn't it make more sense to give the developers of the extensions that you use a little bit of time to update their stuff before agreeing to install the Firefox upgrade?
IMO, you need to take the time for a reality check, before setting yourself up for disappointment time after time.

IPhone 5s "searching" every single morning

A little background:
*I was an Altell customer that was grandfathered in to AT&T (When they bought Altell) with unlimited data and my service started on a brand-new AT&T iPhone 5s on February 3rd, 2015.
*Several weeks after the phone was activated, I dropped it and busted the screen. I contacted the insurance company and they sent me a phone at the cost of $200. That particular phone had an issue where the person I was talking to could barely hear or understand me. I contacted the insurance company and they sent me another replacement.
*That phone had an issue with the GPS not working correctly on any app that required it. On April 10th, I went to the Apple Store at and the very helpful Genius Bar technician gave me a replacement on the spot.
*In July, I woke up on a Friday morning and my phone was "searching" in the upper left corner. I contacted AT&T and it was not an issue on their end, but I was advised to go to the local store to get a new SIM card.
*That became an issue that required hours of phone time with AT&T's computer system not allowing them to update my SIM card because of some issue with an embedded plan feature that carried over from Altell and they had no idea how to fix it. They eventually got it taken care of, but my phone continued to give me trouble by continually "searching".
*It was at that time that I went to the Apple store to get help. I saw the same technician as in April and he informed me that my phone was out of warranty. I am not certain how that happened because my original 5S from AT&T was only activated by them on February 3rd. He said it seemed to have a hardware problem. He did, however, order me a replacement which came in the following week.
*When I went to pick up that phone the technician had a little trouble getting it to activate, but eventually did and sent me on my way. That phone continues to have the same issue as I originally had with the "searching".
Currently:
*I wake up every single day with my phone "searching". Once I go to the area of my house where it can detect our wifi, it either (1) finds signal (2) Asks me for my apple ID to activate (3) or I have to turn it off using both buttons and then turn it back on. (sometimes, I have to do all of the above)
*It had not been happening during the day, but today it has done it several times throughout the day
Things I have done to try and solve the problem:
*Replace the SIM card
*Complete restore without adding a backup
*Complete restore with a backup
*Update Network settings
I have done all of the above several times and continue to have the same problem. I also did the restore on two different computers. I am baffled as to what to do. I feel like I have done everything I could to just have a dependable phone and in February I had a brand new phone from AT&T. I even got desperate and wanted to buy a new phone outright only to find out I am looking at $500+ for a 5S unless I do a contract through AT&T. That would cause me to lose my unlimited data that I was grandfathered in with. I have felt somewhat bullied by AT&T and I feel stuck with what is a faulty phone that was suppose to be a "fix" for my troubles.

My Lacie external hard drive will not back up on Time Machine. Says there's not enough space. This has happened with every single external I've purchased. Thought TM was supposed to delete old backups??

My Lacie External backed up on Time Machine after the first back up but now says there's not enough room. I thought TM deleted old back ups to save new versions. What am I doing wrong. This happens to me constantly. Every single external hard drive I've purchased for the MacBook Pro (5 of them) has not worked either initially or at the second back up. It either isn't formatted properly so I have to go to Genius bar to help me set up for the first back up, or after the first back up, it says there's not enough space and I have to go back to Genius Bar. Is there a way I can fix this on my own?

I just purchased 2 external hardrives. a LaCie Minimus and a G Drive. Each 1 TB. The guy at Apple told me that would provide 2 good TM backups for me. My internal HD has 750 GB capacity, of which I'm using 700 GB. Perhaps the ratio is not great enough. I do wish they would have told me this before I purchased the two Bummmmer! I even had them format and get the first back-ups going because of issues I've had in the past. I also just bought a 750 GB for photos.
So, I won't be able to buy another bigger external since I've just purchased 3. Ugh. Well, I'll just exclude some files and divide things up. Eventually, I just want my 20,000 iphotos on one of the 1TB externals, and a TM back-up on another so that iphoto will function once more. It really hates how many photos I have and is brutally punishing me for it.I seriously need to do some housecleaning!
Thanks for the advice. Just moved from US to Australia last week and was hoping to upload a few photos and the domino effect has lead me to this. Just went to Genius Bar in Perth today and they told me how to reformat drive to transfer iphoto library over, but I got stuck at trying to back-up my TM.

Does it create a problem if I only connect the backup external drive every few days for use with Time Machine? Should I have purchased Time Capsule instead?

After a near miss with my 4-year old MacBook, I finally wised up and purchased a WD My Passport for Mac to back up my hard drive. I connected the Passport today and have performed the first full backup. However, I do not wish to keep it permanently connected to the laptop. Does this create a problem if I only connect the drive every few days? Should I have purchased Time Capsule instead?

Hello,
I don't think it'll cause a problem, but I'd disable/turn off Time Machine before disconnecting, then turn it back on after you connect it again.

4.7GB Backup every single day?
