How do you perform full backup after disk change?

My backup disk crashed yesterday so I bought a new one today. I connected the drive and told Time Machine to change the disk to the new one. It performed an incremental backup. Does anyone know how I force a full backup onto the new drive? Thanks

It was very small. However, I went out for a half-hour and when I came back, Time Machine is now doing a full backup (small status bar shows that it will backup 175GB). Thanks for your help.

How do you perform a full system restore for the hp officejet 6500

Basically, after having this printer for 1 year, the wireless printing started to not work correctly. After buying a laptop and trying to configure the printer with it, the printer started to have problems with wireless printing. So how do you perform a FULL factory reset? I already tried hitting #9 while the printer was turning on but it only seemed to partially reset the system. It did not turn it back to the day i bought the printer.

OK, so it turns out it was the 'only show synced content' tick box.
Wow, how embarrassed do I feel now? I never even paid any attention to that tick box all these years.
Interestingly, over the last couple of days I had my ATV at v1.1 again, and happily deleted all my content (except for 1 album which I deliberately left on). A few days went past, and I checked daily - and there was only ever the 1 album.
I then upgraded to ATV v3.0.1 again today and that's when my problems came back - all my content magically reappeared on the Apple TV (or so I thought).
I'm thinking maybe that the 'only show synced content' is a recent 3.0 feature? And if so, maybe that's why I never noticed it before and that's why it was confusing me? Or maybe it's been there all these years (in which case I'll carry on being embarrassed).
Anyway, a huge thanks to everyone who responded.

How do you eliminate older backups from Time Capsule?

How do you eliminate older backup copies from a older model of time capsule?

You shouldn't have to. Time Machine will delete them automatically when it needs room for new ones. If you're running Leopard, though, and have the Warn when old backups are deleted box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options, it won't. Just remove the check and run a backup.
If you have other data on the TC's internal HD, that's going to cause trouble sooner or later. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for some possible workarounds.
If you still want to delete individual backups, or all backups of selected items, do not use the Finder. See #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, and note the pink box there.

How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone?

How do you restore previous backup from iTunes to iPhone? I did something wrong as now nothing is on my phone but several questions such as language, etc. They keep repeating. When I turn phone completely off, the same thing happens when I turn it on. It is very frustrating now to have no phone service or anything at all on my phone.

It sounds as if the phone is waiting to be activated. Did you update software or something like that on the phone? You can either try to finish the Setup routine, or you can connect the device to iTunes on the computer and then after selecting the iPhone in the device pane, click on the button that says Restore a Backup.

How do you add a custom label to dates in contacts.....

How do you add a custom label to dates in contacts- I have multiple birthdays in contact group and want to change label through customise to add additional birthday- unless another way to add second birthday to contacts and identify each one?????? or way to link contacts with same address phone number etc but id birthdays?????

You have some contacts with more than one birthday?
To add a custom label for a date, select Edit for an existing contact. Select Add Field. Select Date. Scroll up with the Info window above the date selection and select Other for the new date selection. Select Add Custom Label and then select this label for the new date field for the contact.
As far as linking dates with multiple contacts, the answer is no to that.

How do you create a column of sequenced dates in Numbers

How do you create a column of sequenced dates in Numbers without typing in each date? For example: 01/05/15, 01/12/15, 01/19/15, 01/26/15, 02/02/15, etc.

Hi Cha Ling,
Another way,
Enter your first two dates that show the desired interval- i.e. 01/05/15 and 01/12/15.
Select both cells and choose fill from the contextual menu.
Drag down to fill your column.

How would you read in each line of data and display them to message box?

How would you read in each line of data from the _.txt file_ and display the whole data using an information-type message box?
I know how to display each line of the .txt file data, but I do not know how to display the whole thing.
Here is how I did to display each line of data using the message box:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;          // Needed for the JOptionPane class
import java.io.*;                         // Needed for file classes
public class problem3
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
          String filename;          // Needed to read the file
          String categories;          // Needed to read the categories
          // Get the filename.
          filename = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the filname.");
          // Open the file.
          FileReader freader = new FileReader(filename);
          BufferedReader inputFile = new BufferedReader(freader);
          // Read the categories from the file.
          categories = inputFile.readLine();
          // If a category was read, display it and
          // read the remainig categories.
          while(categories != null)
               // Display the last category read.
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(categories);
               // Read the next category.
               categories = inputFile.readLine();
          // Close the file.
          inputFile.close();
}I think I need to change here:
// If a category was read, display it and
          // read the remainig categories.
          while(categories != null)
               // Display the last category read.
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(categories);
               // Read the next category.
               categories = inputFile.readLine();
          }but I don't know how to.
Could you please help me?
Thank you.

What is not understood about your question is which part of "read a bunch of lines and display them in a textbox" do you not understand.
First thing's first though: You do recognize that "read a bunch of lines and display them in a textbox" has a few distinct and completely independent parts, right?I'm sorry. I'm not good at English, so I do not understand what you said...
What I was trying to say is "How to display the whole lines of .txt file in single dialog box."We know that.
Do you understand that any problem can be broken down into smaller pieces?
Do you understand that your problem has the following pieces?
1. Read lines from the file.
2. Put the lines together into one String.
3. Put the String into the message box.
and maybe
4. Make sure the message box contents are split into lines exactly as the file was.
(You didn't make it clear if that last one is a requirement.)
Do you understand that 1-4 are completely independent problems and can be solved separately from each other?
Do you understand that you have stated that you already know how to do 1 and 3?
Therefore, you are NOT asking "How to display the whole lines of .txt file in single dialog box." Rather, you ARE asking either #2 or #4 or both.
If you say once more "display all the lines of the file in one dialog box," then it is clear that we are unable to communicate with you and we cannot help you.

How do you change the backup assiatnt pin number??

How do you change teh pin that was given automatically.? Like to use somethign that I will remember

It's always helpful to utilize a PIN that will easily be remembered by you.
I would be better able to assist you if I knew which phone you have.
If you have a basic phone you can
Change your PIN - Access Backup Assistant on your handset:
select Options
select Change PIN
enter the PIN shown on the right in the enter
old PIN field
click Next then enter your new PIN
click next
click OK to complete the PIN change.
If you have a smart phone, I would recommend visiting the Verizon Support web page. Once you are there, type
change backup assistant pin (along with the phone you have)
(i.e change backup assistant pin Droid X)
Once you have done that, you will get step-by-step instructions on how to change your PIN via your phone.

How do you restore to backup

how do you restore to last backup can only find factory restore

Easy but verified fix!
I had this problem with my 3Gs. After trying the backup a few times unsuccessfully, here's what worked for me:
1-Restarted my phone
2-Once I connected and it tried to backup, I canceled the backup message
3-Went to the phone's setting in iTunes (namely the Apps tab) and saw that suddenly the capacity bar was full rather than empty again
4-Removed some of the apps I didn't want on anyway
5-Hit "Apply" in the lower right corner
6-After the sync was complete, the phone still was not restored. However, all I had to do then was back it up from the most recent backup (which came when I did step 5)
7-Voila! The phone was back. Oddly, iTunes gave me the same error message at the end but my iPhone was working fine with iOS5!

How are you going to backup your system?

Are you going to backup your files to an external hard drive? If so what?
Are you doing to backup your files to your 2nd internal hard drive? How?

RAID is not a backup
Yes… it is. Backup is by definition is "the procedure for making extra copies of data in case the original is lost or damaged". Nothing more.
With a RAID mirror you have two or more originals which makes it a backup. Does it provide an archive or revision history of your data… no. But that's beside the point. It is a backup. Does it protect you against all circumstances that results in data loss… no. Again, that's beside the point.
A RAID mirror is still a backup,
RAID is protection from hardware failure. If a drive dies, you have a full working copy of everything... that's great.
Not always true! Under some RAID schemes a member failure will result in complete data loss. RAID is not always about "protection from hardware failure".
Only something that archives… [snip]
Not everyone is prepared to and sometimes not even capable of having such a rigourous scheme as you do. For the vast majority of users out there who have no contingency plan what so ever the best solution is in fact a RAID mirror as it's a no effort and cheap solution. It's a solution that protects against a very specific circumstance. For a more complete protection you are right, other means should make up the rest of the package.
While RAID mirrors shouldn't be a standalone solution it should be considered as part of a complete scheme.

Bookmarks - how do you restore from backups?

My bookmarks disappeared......... something happened while I was trying to copy old folders into the new User - and it made it disappear from my old user account!
How do you restore the bookmarks from the BackUp on MobileMe iDisk, or even the one that is on my iPhone? Should still be there............
everything says it's Syncing but the bookmarks don't seem to want to restore..........
Thanks

Hi
Let's try a different approach as something odd has occurred with your iDisk.
What is your "old folder" source? If it contains the HD>Users>Your User Account>Library>Safari folder, inside there you'll find bookmarks.plist. Move it to the same location on your computer, replacing the existing file.

How do you delete/remove backup?

How do I remove my backup for my iPhone?
As it will not let me back it up on m computer bécause it is not compatable with the iPhone.
I do not want to remove my photos from the phone or any apps/messaes I have, is there any way this can be done without removing such data?

Your backup is either stored on the computer or iCloud, not on your phone.
This article explains where the backups are stored on the computer:
iTunes: About iOS backups
Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.
