After restore there was this MYSTERY DATA! What the ****?

When I first got my new mac I wanted to test out some games, so I went through boot camp to install XP and well I didn't read the instructions first (yes my fault) so I had it set to format the drive to FATS when in the instructions it wanted NTFS. Don't worry, it is all working after I restored the system to all mac then (finally) found the instructions and used boot camp again. But the second time I was looking at the partition section of boot camp and saw there was about 5 gigs of new data! hmm... thats odd! Any one els see this?? I know its only 5 gigs but Im planning on repartitioning the drive again and don't want to loose more space! allrighty, well thanks for your time!

Heres another question, I really don't remember but how much space is already filled when you first open a MBP. This machine is technically 185 gb and I think it came with about 30gb of stuff on it. But how much is suppose to come standard on a new Macbook pro straight from apple? (with no extra software)

    I just got my new iPad Mini2, and when I choose "sign in with your apple ID", it says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again

  • I bought my Iphone in the apple store, but I d like to unlock it since I'm living in Brazil, what can be done? I know that it's possible to switch carriers, there was this guy that told my mother that it is possible to do it online and for free....

    Does anybody know how to switch carriers  of the Iphone, I bought it at the apple store, there was this guy that told my mother that he said that it was possible to do it online for free, but I can't find it!! does anyone know what to do??

    Carriers lock phones.  Only Carriers can unlock them.  Contact the carrier to whom your phone is locked.  See if they allow unlocking, and if they do, what the qualifications are.

    If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.  When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again.  If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

  • HT204380 why does the camera in my itouch spontaneously closes after a few seconds of opening it? there was this time that I used facetime and it became freakishly hot and then after that, I tried to open my camera but quickly closed by itself.

    there was this time that I tried to use my facetime for a long time. Then after using it, it became very hot all over from the back till front. Then when I tried to open the camera function, it only went to the part where it shows the gray spiral covers without actually going to the actual camera then it went completely black and it went to home. The camera closes on its own now and i cant use it.

    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar at bottom
    2. Hold the FaceTime/Camera app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Re-launch the app and test
    Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar

    my iphone 5s got stolen and the option to erase data after 10 tries was not enabled. What happens after the incorrect password is input after 10 times?

    After the sixth erroneous passcode entry a delay is imposed that increases exponentially and eventually reaches over 40 years before another attempt can be made.
    No one yet knows how long the next delay is.

  • "There was a problem connecting to the server" in iTunes after migrating to new mac

    I have a problem that is driving me crazy with my brand new iMac. I see many other people posting similar issues, but none of the other solutions seem to work for me.
    I had a MacPro and bought a new iMac, on which I used Migration Assistant to set up. So the new iMac is virtually the same as my old machine in terms of appearance and installed applications. Both machines have Mountain Lion 10.8.2. All software on both machines has been through Software Update and is fully up to date, as are the connected devices (iPhone and iPad).
    The problem is with iTunes. Every time I start iTunes (I think at the moment it checks my two connected devices) I get a pop up dialogue saying:
    There was a problem connecting to the server "MacPro".
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    This dialogue continues to pop up constantly as long as iTunes is open, interrupting my work and frustrating me no end. The old machine is of course turned off and indeed is not available -- but I can't find what on the new iMac is so desperate to connect to it.
    So far I have tried completing erasing my iTunes library, deleting all the preferences, reinstalling iTunes from a fresh download of the dmg, safe rebooting several times with no peripherals connected at all, and deleteing other preferences like the Login Items, iPhone config and iPhoto. I have also cleared Recent Items from the apple menu and opened "Connect to Server" in the finder and cleared all servers from the dropdown menu.
    Last night I also completely restored my iPhone from scratch to see if that would clear away the issue and I have connected both iPhone and iPad to go through any apps that have permission to write content to my computer and deleted all of them completely from the devices.
    Nothing has changed at all after all that, and I have run out of ideas. Clearly there is something somewhere that has my old machine's name hard coded in it but I can't see any way to search for it. I would grep my Library folder but I think a lot of the files are binary so I'm not sure that would unearth anything. I've seen many posts saying that Apple phone support (which I would qualify for) can't help with this issue and so I have put off phoning them to simply run through all the things I've already tried.
    Any advice that anyone could offer would be extremely helpful. I can't use iTunes at all like this as it disrupts everything I try to do on the new machine.
    many thanks!!

    Nothing at all? Can't anyone help with this issue at all? I would be grateful for any suggstions as it is driving me crazy. It happens every time I open iTunes and also every time I open Mail.

  • How to activate an old iphone (after restoring it) without a new data plan

    First off thanks for any help – I've seen the support article Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan and it no longer seems to reflect the current setup for the iTunes Store.
    I have an old original iPhone that I've been using as an iPod. Works fine, but for some reason I wasn't able to replace some old photos with additional music. So, I decided to restore the phone and wipe it clean so there would be more space for music.
    After the phone was wiped clean, it needed to be reactivated. There's no way to get into the phone or load music onto it without activating it, as far as I can tell. I saw the support article above, but after going through the steps in the iTunes store there was no way to active the phone without purchasing a $20 a month data plan. I know there's another way (or there used to be) but I can't figure it out.
    Basically, just need to active my old iPhone, so that I can continue to use it as an iPod touch, without purchasing a new data plan.
    Any help would be appriciated, thanks!
    -joe

    More info – the phone was used (by me) with a data plan for about two years.
    The SIM card that's in the phone is the same as when I first purchased it.
    I can easily activate it – just not without purcahsing a data plan.

  • "There was a problem connecting to the server.   URLs with the type "file:" are not supported.  Why?  What can be done to eliminate it?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repeatedly get this message:  "There was a problem connecting to the server.   URLs with the type "file:" are not supported. 
    Why? 
    What can be done to eliminate it?

    Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

    Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
    Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
    You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
    If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

  • "there was a problem connecting to the server" after lion

    I updated to Lion and now I get an error message continuously popping up that says "there was a problem connecting to the server.  URLs with the type "file:" are not supported".
    I don't know what this is telling me, I've never had this error before.

    I found an answer.  It's a problem with time machine.  If you disable it it should stop.  I am manually turning it on when I connect since I don't stay connected to that hd all the time.  I haven't had the message since.
