Do backups become slower as the TC fills with data?

I have about 80GB left on my 500GB TC. backups are painfully slow, it seems my macbook is perpetually backing up, which seems to slow internet speeds which seems to make sense.
so 1) if backups take longer as space on the TC becomes filled, can it reset the TC to start over? I only have about 140GB on my macbook and the TC backup is over 400GB so reseting it would reduce the file size or 2) if this is not possible, or has not effect on backup time...is there any way to reduce the frequency of TC backups?
I really hope there is an option for scheduled or manual backups. The hourly things is great in a prefect work if backs where as quick as they were day one..but if they do slow, i'd even be ok with monthly. I understand for business or heavy usage hourly might be great...but my TC is for back of a home PC. its not like i'm adding ro deleting hundreds of documents and files a day.

If you don't mind erasing your current history of backups and starting over again, that would be the simplest and easiest approach to take.
Post back if you need some tip on how to erase the drive, etc.

My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

What you need to do is temporarily set up your new 4. Just long enough to update the operating system. Then you can erase all content and settings - which puts it back to its out of box state, then set it up again, this time restoring it from the backup of your two.
So, using the same Apple ID on both - just to keep things easy - set up your 4. Just basically choose 'set up as new' to activate it, then immediately update the iOS to 7.1.2.
then erase all content and settings, which puts it back to 'llike new'...but the operating system will not reset, it'll remain 7.1.2
Then set it up again, this time choosing to 'restore from the backup' of your 2 and your 4 will be a near clone of your two.

My 06' Macbook Pro crashed with vertical, green pixelated lines and now will not advance past the turn-on screen with the apple filled with green lines as well. Then, it says to hold down the power button to restart. Help?

My 06' Macbook Pro crashed with vertical, green pixelated lines and now will not advance past the turn-on screen with the apple filled with green lines as well. Then, it says to hold down the power button to restart. I have tried several times to get it past this point but tnothing helped.
I have an appointment at the Apple store today, but was wondering : will all of the information and files on my desktop be lost? Or is this a logic board problem?
Any help is much MUCH appricated.

I'm not sure, if you're out of warrenty it'll cost quite a bit for the replacement of the logic board replacement...unless you have apple care. you could ask apple to try and recover your hard drive but i'm not sure.

The edit/fill with content-aware

The edit/fill with content-aware works when I edit the photo file using “edit in Photoshop cc”, instead of using “open as smart object in Photoshop:.
It brings up to my next question: what is the difference between “open as smart object” and “edit in Photoshop cc”? Thanks.

Edit in photoshop, brings the image into photoshop as single image. Whereas bringing it into photoshop as a smart objects, places that single image into a wrapper. This wrapper is an object that keeps the underlying image safe. No matter what you do other than removing the smart object, keeps the image safe.
What I mean by that, is if you scale, rotate and a filter, etc. it is applied to the object it self, not the image. Which allows you to change your mind and revert back to the original image at any time in the future, as long as you save in a format that supports smart objects, layers, and transparency. Which limits it down to psd, tiff, and pdf.

Date when the cube was filled with data for the last time

Hi!
We are using a SAP BW System and on top of it BOBJ for reporting. Within BEx Web Application Designer, it's very simple to access the data, when the cube was filled with data for the last time. Is it possible to access this information within BOBJ, too?
Thanks for your help!

Hallo Ingo,
thanks for your answer. That was exactly what we were looking for.
We will have to think about a workaround now.

Very time I click on Firefox, a check for add-on compatibility runs also after a short time the screen fills with Firefox Android add; this is annoying. How

The latest Mozilla update change the way my computer starts when I click on Mozilla on the desktop. The first think that happens is that a small window appears and tells me it is checking for add-ons compatibility. After what seems like a long period, the screen fills with some sort of Mozilla about Android and Mozilla. I then have to x this to get to my email page. This is annoying. How do I fix this?

It sounds like this issue.

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?
With Lion 10.7.1. you where able to drag events from "All Day Events" into the "Reminders" bar to create upcoming reminders.

Exactly the same question I was about to post!
Great being able to sync reminders (well overdue) however if I have to re-type a calener envent into reminders it's a waste of time!!
Come on Apple!!
Just need an option for the calender event to add to reminder or the old drag to add to reminder functionality back, Please???

Firefox17 is extremely slow on the net compared with MS Internet Explorer. Can I downgrade it and not loose bookmarks and how?

I have upgrade my Firefox to the 17 version and it worked just fine from the beginning but it have become slower and slower on communication to the internet. I have used your product for some time and I like it but this is not ok. I upgrade the system as soon as there is something new. It is important for me to be able to save the bookmarks. I use the Swedish version!

Hi, after upgrading to Firefox 17 all browsing slowed down.
After doing several speed tests with Firefox 17 and IE9 I was getting 75% slower speeds with Firefox.
After a lot of hassle I got back to v16.0.2 and my speed is back to normal.

How to backup to TC for the first time with ethernet or USB

I had an existing wireless network and have added a TC to it as a password protected wireless device. I can initiate a wireless backup using Time Machine from my desktop Mac, but anticipating that this will be a very long first backup, I'm trying to set up a wired first time backup using ethernet. So, I've plugged an ethernet cable between the desktop Mac and one of the ethernet ports on the TC and then switched off my desktop Airport connection. I was hoping that I could then just backup using TM, but the TC doesn't seem to be recognised.
Can anyone tell me what to do? Presumably I'm doing something wrong because most people who have bought TCs are likely to have done their first backup through ethernet.

amthie,
Here are the steps I have used to perform the initial TC backup.
*Using Time Capsule via Temporary Ethernet ONLY Connection*
Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>) NOT to the WAN port (wheel icon). Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
Next, go to System Prefs --> Network.
At the top of the window note what “Location” you are currently using, as you will need to return to this setting later.
Now, change “Location” to “Edit Locations”.
Click the “+” button and create a new location named “Ethernet Only”.
Click “Done”.
In the Services Pane on the left, eliminate all other services using the “-” button leaving “Ethernet” only. If you choose to leave other services listed then al the very least move Ethernet to the top of the list using the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom and "Set Service Order".
Verify that “Configure” says “Using DHCP”.
Click "Apply" in the lower right.
You should be seeing an assigned IP Address and the Status should say “Connected”. The dot beside “Ethernet” should be green.
Now begin your backup or transfer of files.
You should still have internet access during this period.
Once the backup/transfer is complete, remember to change the Network Prefs “Location” back to “Automatic”, or whatever setting it had originally been, to restore Airport connectivity.
Cheers!

I have downloaded pictures to iphoto from my Canon Rebel XTI. I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical. Also, if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark. I need to email these photos out. HELP! Also if I do a slide show with the album, those pictures do not show up.

This:
if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark.
is why you can't do this:
I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.
It means that iPhoto can't find the photos.
What version of iPhoto?

Do backups become slower as the TC fills with data?
