After installing iOS 8 on my MacBook Pro I've been unable to backup my laptop to Time Machine - any advise?

I would really like to know how you managed to do that seeing as how the MBP is not capable of running iOS
iOS is only for mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads and iPods
The MBP uses OS X instead
Maybe once you get your story straight we can help you

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. Is there a fix/test.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.
What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered". It happens even if i resend it over and over.
I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
I have tried rebooting all three devices.
The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

Hi,
On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
The Restart the Mac Version
Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone is using.
Do same on iPad.

Try on a different computer. If you get this error again, go to an Apple store or call AppleCare. I've only seen this error once, & I was unable to solve it. Took the phone to the genius bar & they replaced the phone.

Hello
I bought my wife a new MacBook Pro, in setting it up for her, I took her Time Machine external drive to migrate onto the new machine but her old MBP not only was on 10.6, it was my old machine which I was still Administrator for.
i plugged in the external drive to start the migration process after entering her name and username from the old machine which gave me the options on transferring the old data over.
I also unchecked the Administrative end that had my info hoping that ONLY her data, files, etc., would be the ones sent over to her new machine which I wanted her to be the ONLY Administrator for. All went like clockwork until the restart.
Normally the screen should show the username and only need the password but both entries were blank, as in ‘Other’ sign in option available only. I entered her name and password, nothing….used her username and password, nothing. Used my old Administrator name and password, NOTHING!
I tried defaulting to factory settings from the Restore feature but it directs me to notify Apple. I tried in Terminal to change the password, nothing. I tried to boot from MY external drive and it doesn’t recognize it. I tried to even use my external drive which actually has the Mavericks upgrade, nothing!
Basically I can only get the startup screen which isn’t accepting the username/password or the Restore feature which doesn’t offer any options helpful!
Please, how do I start from scratch and start over here? Or simply change the Administrator name and password so I can proceed with everything thats already on there? I wish I could even boot from another drive but no luck on anything!

First, on the old machine, make your wife's account an admin one. Log into it and delete yours. Then, update the TM backup. Finally, use Internet recovery mode, ⌘⌥R, erase the HD, and restore the OS. One first boot, follow the steps outlined in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

Just got new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now whenAudio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do?

Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

My new macbook pro retina recognizes, but can't transfer data from the Time Machine Volume

I back up my old 2008 MacBook Pro to a Time Machine volume sitting on a very new 2 TB drive that is connected to a Time capsule via USB. I got that new drive from OtherWorld Computing about 2 months ago.
I just received a brand new 2012 MBP (retina).
Pondini's page on setting up a new mac says that it's easiest just to transfer everything over the first itme you start up the new machine. (ref: http://pondini.org/OSX/Setup.html)
So, I took my new 2012 MBP, plugged it into the Time Capsule directly with ethernet (I have the Thunderbolt-to-USB connector).
Then turn it on.
The 3rd page into the startup sequence gives me a choice to "Transfer Information to this Mac". It offers 4 options
"From Another Mac"
"From a Windows PC"
"From Another Disk"
"Not Now"
I chose "From Another Disk"
Then it offers "Select the Source"
The sources are 4 blue icons. 2 of them are backups of other machines, ones that sit on the Time Capsule's internal drive. 1 is a small "media storage" space I saved on the internal drive of the Time Capsule.
The important one is "Macbook Pro backup ("StefanTimeCapsule")
This is the one physically parked in the external USB drive.
So.... I select it. It asks me to log on with user ID and password, and then says an endless "Connecting" message
It never gets to the next menu.
If I arrow "back" in the startup window sequence to the "Select the Source" windo, the 4 blue volumes are again displayed, with the word "Connecting" next to the backup I want, strongly suggesting that the "connection" is never fully established.
Just for fun I plugged that external USB drive directly into the USB port of the new Retina MBP, but it was not recognized at all.
I tried different ethernet cables.
At this point my thoughts are perhaps
(a) I need a powered USB hub
(b) I need to somehow have Apple service the Time Capsule (but for what? I don't know)
I could potentially just transfer from the Old 2008 Macbook Pro Directly, but it seems to me problematic not to be able to access the primary backup.
Any ideas out there?

A picture of a screen that suggests my new MBP Retina never connects to the "Macbook Pro backup ("StefanTimeCapsule")
This is the one that has the files for the backups procured by the Time Machine program. But it can't "connect"-- You 'll see int he sideways pic (sorry!) that the options STILL says "connecting"
Do i have to make these Time Machines more open to connection?

After installing osx mavericks my macbook pro restarts all the time

After installing firefox 4 on macbook pro, firefox 3.6 comesback

First, we love Firefox! However, even though I've installed Firefox 4 repeatedly on my Macbook Pro, OS X 10.6.6, when I close my session by clicking "Quit Firefox" , I get back Firefox 3.6.16 next time I open Firefox. I.e., Firefox 4 doesn't replace 3.6.16 permanently after the initial session is closed. This never happened with other updates. Please fix! Thank you :-) Suzanne

Answer to this is to use Finder to go to the Applications folder and then drag the old Firefox to the wastebasket. Then try installing the new firefox again and it should work.

After installing mavericks on my macbook pro my laptop keeps rebooting

How can I find out what might be happening to cause this behaviour?
Is anyone else seeing this odd behaviour?
I didn't have a booting issue before installing Mavericks, since installing I have had at least 4 random reboots. After logging in, I get a message that the system booted unexpectedly and I uploaded the info to Apple. One time it showed the reboot occured during the wakup from sleep.
As a side question, how can I tell the system to NOT relaunch all applications that where running before.

Hi Clinton (and original poster/responders)

System not booting after installing 2010-006 on MacBook Pro.

Today I've installed security update 2010-006 onto a current model, 13" MacBook Pro (the 2.4GHz one if that's relevant) and now it won't boot, just the spinning circle.
If I put it into verbose mode then I get "no suitable image found" and then "the system bootstrapper has crashed: trace/bpt trap".
If I try and boot from the Snow Leopard install DVD then it comes up with "you need to restart your computer" and I can't get any further (this is a working DVD as I've tried it in another machine, and I've also tried booting the installer from USB with the same error).
Is there anything I can do? The hard drive seems fine, and I can reinstall it if I must, but naturally want my data back, as though I have a backup, it's a few weeks old now.

Having a similar issue here on an Intel Core Duo iMac. Updated last night and system wouldn't boot. Some of the "offending" lines in verbose mode:

Booting from my Snow Leopard DVD caused a different kernel panic.
Booting in Safe mode (holding down shift) is possible (wouldn't be posting this otherwise lol), but I don't know how to update the offending kernel extension. Software Update updated correctly and there are no other pending updates.

After installing Mavericks OS, My MacBook Pro is Slow and weak?

Recently I upgraded to Mavericks OS system from Mountain Lion. I use MacBook Pro 17" of 2011 with 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7.
Mavericks supposed to be faster and saves more battery life. But it was not in my case. I do most of my work with Ms. Office 2011.
1) I find the Finder is extremely slow to respond. It takes more than One minute to open the folder files.
2) I find the Ms.Office is very slow. Powerpoint slides are NOT showing the content on the column view. The system battery goes down very quickly with Powerpoint.
3) The battery does NOT last more than 5 hours, comparatively it was usually be NINE HOURS.
I have reinstalled the Mavericks as advised by the Apple Expert from Apple Inc.
Still the Problem exist. What do I do?

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How to increase disk read and write speed after installing new SSD (2009 Macbook Pro)? Why not as fast as advertised?

Hi everyone,
I just installed a Crucial MX10512 GB SSD into my 2009 Macbook Pro. It's definitely much faster, but the read and write disk speed is around 200 Mb/s for both versus the 300-500 Mb/s that the SSD advertised. Any ideas as to why? And is there anything I can do to make it faster? Before I installed it, it was between 80-90 Mb/s.
Specs:
- currently have about 460 of 511 GB of storage available
- am using 2GB of memory
- running on 10.10.2 Yosemite
Thanks!

Drew, forgive me for being so computer-incompetent but how would I boot from another OS? And shouldn't I be checking the read speeds on my current OS (Yosemite) anyways because I want to know how the SSD is performing on the OS I use? And finally, what kind of resources would it be using that would be slowing down my SSD?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm not a Macbook wiz by any means!
You could make a clone of your internal OS onto an external disk. Hopefully you already have a backup of some form
A clone is a full copy, so you can boot from it. It makes a good backup as well as being useful to test things like this.
Carbon Copy Cloner will make one or you can use Disk Utility to 'restore' your OS from the internal disk to an external one.
Ideally the external disk is a fast disk with a fast 'interface' like Thunderbolt, Firewire 800 or USB3. USB2 can work, but it is slow & may effect the test.
You connect the clone, hold alt at startup & select the external disk in the 'boot manager'. When the Mac is finished booting run the speed tester.
Maybe this one…
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/blackmagic-disk-speed-test/id425264550
Test the internal & compare to the previous tests
A running OS will do the following on it's boot disk…
Write/ read cache files from running apps
Write/ read memory to disk if memory is running low
Index new files if content is changing or being updated
Copy files for backing up (Time Machine or any other scheduled tasks)
Networking can also trigger read/ write on the disk too.
You may not have much activity that effects a disk speed test, but you can't really be sure unless that disk is not being used for other tasks.
Disk testing is an art & science in itself, see this if you want to get an idea …
http://macperformanceguide.com/topics/topic-Storage.html
Simply knowing that it's about twice the speed would be enough to cheer me up
