Chronosync is wonderful!

I just want to share a smart thing I happened to come up with:
I received a free very small 8 GB USB Stick lately.
I put it right into my 4 Port USB Hub, where it is not noticeable att all.
And then I made a night time backup Scheme for the Backup Software called Chronosync, so the most important things on the machine are constantly kept up to date on the USB stick!
The smart idéa of it all is that it is always nice to have an extra Backup, apart from my Time Machine Total Backup!
And if the computer gets stolen or whatever, nobody will perhaps see the extra small stick, so I have a latest safe backup!
I also have an off site backup HD - It's my whole life on the Hard Disks!

Strange, you've had exactly the opposite experience to me with the same wireless driver. I've never managed to get Wicd to connect to anything but a wired network.

I am sharing a apple id acount with my family but when i synced my phone to the computer it erased all of my imformation and put the other phone's imformation on it. I was wondering how I can prevent this from happening?

If the ringtones are on the old device just plug it in and do a transfer of purchases then they will be on the computer to sync to the new device.

I have a 5 yr. old iPhone 3GS, I can't back it up to my laptop, it's not working, but wondered if i can back it up to her laptop, if I create a new user account name, w/out losing her info?

My 5+ yr. old iPhone 3GS is on it's last legs. I desperatly need to "back it up" ASAP, so I can buy a new iPhone, and I really need to be able to transfer my 5 years worth of info to a new iPhone, (a 4S). The computer I used to back my iPhone on when I first got it no longer works, so I was wondering about being able to back my iPhone up to my daughters laptop, but she also has an iPhone 3GS, that's already backed up to her laptop. I know you couldnt back up two iPhones up to one computer, (at least that's what I was told, years ago), but I was recently told by an "Apple" rep that I could "probably" back my iPhone up to her computer without losing anyone's info, if I created a "Secondary User Name Account" on her computer. I'm not comfortble doing this unless I'm reassured more than being told that it's "probably" safe.
Does anyone know what options I have, and if this idea would result in one or both of us losing our info, if we tried to store two iPhones "back up info" on one laptop?
My phone's barely working at all, but I can still access my info, (for now, at least). I really need to do something now.
Could anyone who knows how this works please give me some info?
Thanks in advance.

First, you don't have a 5+ year old 3GS. The 3GS has only been around for under 4 years. In fact, 5 years ago there were NO iPhones; the original iPhone (2 generations before the 3GS) came out on June 29, 2007 - not quite 5 years ago. The 3GS was released June 19, 2009.
That aside, you can sync multiple phones to one computer - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495. boogeyman is wrong. It is 100% safe to create an additional user name on her computer, log in with that name, and back up the phone. See this for details on what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

The Wonders of Free Stuff

So there I was, having set up my wife's new PC, but not yet getting a network printer (or a device to share what we already have). Obviously, the first thing I have to help her with has to be printed rom my PC.
In the past, I would have simply used a diskette, and later, a portable hard drive, and later still, a thumb drive. I might have even e-mailed it, which isn't exactly free because I pay for our domains. But very close.
Now, I just sign her up for a free DropBox account and it all happens in the background. No more sneakernet, and no need to share drives, (leaving things open to other problems). And no need for a NAS. (Not yet, anyway)
That is just one example of free stuff on the Internet. The amazing thing is that so much of what we use every day is basically free. Yes, we pay for Internet access. Even if we use a library PC, someone is paying for it. But just like network television, the amount of free things that can be paid for by advertising is just astounding. The thing is, I don't even see the advertising on Dropbox, which makes it all the more amazing to me.
The free Type Styles at Style4Type are more along the lines of easily understood free stuff. He entices you with really great free stuff, and if you really like it, for only a little money you can have the entire thing. Same with Video Copilot. Training for free and if you happen to buy something, even better.
The Creative Cow site is a different kind of free. The advertising is in your face. But, to be honest, I don't really even notice it much anymore except when it is something I might actually want to buy. But the quality of the training is remarkable.
The best kind of free with advertising in your face is Google, I think. The ads can be set to pretty much just be stuff I wish I could buy. Which may actually be worse but seems better. It is easier to ignore clothing ads than camera ads, or tripods, or big screen TVs. The things that Google does with maps, by letting me set up a location on my PC and then automatically have it appear on my phone so that the GPS can get me there? Wonderful. I use it almost every single day for work.
Remember back when Curt Wrigley was spending a fortune on bandwidth for his tutorials? Now YouTube is free and we don't even blink at putting up huge files, at 1080p using a high bitrate to maintain quality. For FREE!
I guess that every now and then, we all ought to take a moment and consider the advantages of advertising over paying outright for services. It really is a different world than the one I thought I was going to see when I grew up. My only real complaint is this: Where the heck is my flying car? I was promised a flying car back in 1959. I found the drawings I made when we cleaned out my mother's place after she passed. There were lots of flying cars. Detroit has had enough time. Where is my flying car???

Free CC would require some hefty advertising to make it pay.
Would you use it for free if they insisted on watermarking your video or photos? Just a little watermark. Nothing intrusive?
Or, how about if you had to watch an advertisement, like on YouTube, every time you opened the app, or every 15 minutes of use?
I think I would rather just pay them. But then again, I pay for cable TV. Some people don't and perhaps they would be OK with the YouTubeization of CC?
But hey! That would mean they had a choice, and people are big on choice, right?

I currently am running 10.5.8 and I need to update to atleast 10.6.8. Just wondering if I need to purchase it from apple or if there is an easy/free way to update it.

you need to purchase it: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. It is only on a disk, not in download form.

I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one.

Hello wilsontot_too,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing on your iPhone. It sounds like you are not noticing transparency on your iPhone. It may be that you have "Increase Contrast" turned on in your iPhone settings.
I recommend verifying that Increase Contrast is turned off in Settings>General>Accessibility.

Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Hi, I am having trouble getting an album to download. I have tried it on both my iPhone and laptop through iTunes but neither works. I am wondering if it could be the size of the album stopping it downloading (212 Tracks) Any Ideas?

Hi, I am having trouble getting an album to download. I have tried it on both my iPhone and laptop through iTunes but neither works. I am wondering if it could be the size of the album stopping it downloading (212 Tracks) Any Ideas?

These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X:  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
Also review this support aticle as it might be causing due to internet connection: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368

Either it ended up in a spam filter or it isn't being sent to that address. If you can't find it, use the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article to contact the iTunes Store staff.

Hi I was just wondering, if my iPod nano's serial number says that it is eligible, but its screen is not working, am I still eligibile for the iPod nano 1st gen replacement?

Yes. They'll still replace your iPod. Several users have indicated that they have returned damaged iPods and were still given a replacement iPod.

Hi, I was just wondering how much it would cost to repair the rear camera of my iPhone 4s. I dropped it and it won't work and I hear something rattling inside when I shake it. How much would it cost to fix?

If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

Yes, many know what this means. You can too. Just type in "error 1004" in the search box at the top of this page. Or, just look to the right. You'll find many links in the "More Like This" box.
Always good forum etiquette to search for previous posts on the topic before posting.
