How to delete back up data in iCloud?

From previous posts:
If you mean backed up in your iCloud backup, you can delete the backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, touch your backup and tap Delete Backup, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.
If you mean data synced to your iCloud account like contacts and calendars, you can either delete if from your device or go to icloud.com on your computer and delete it there.

How do I make a windows 10 recovery disk

How do I make a back-up/recovery disk for Windows 10? I made one when I bought this machine that had Windows 8.1 on it but I don't recall how I did it. Help please. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi there
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you are looking for a method to make a recovery disk for your system after upgrading to Windows 10. I am happy to help with this. The method you would have used to make recovery media for your original operating system would be to use the factory installed recovery manager. As an FYI for the Windows 8 method -Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems (Windows 8)HP PCs - Creating and Using a System Image to Restore Your Computer (Windows 8) However those tools are not going to help for making a Windows 10 image. For Windows 10, the intention of Microsoft is to dispense with recovery images, however there are still ways to make one. Here are a few pages I found that cover the options in the operating system, how to make a repair disk, and to make an image. Recovery options in Windows 10 - windows.microsoft.comHow to Create a USB Recovery Drive in Windows 10 - www.tenforums.comReset Recovery Image - Create in Windows 10 - www.tenforums.com I hope this helps.

How to delete back up from MacBook Pro?

I recently gave my old MacBook Pro to my daughter. To make sure all the APPs etc stayed on it I simply created her a user account with admin rights and deleted my user account. The problem is now half of the hard drive seems to be full of back ups which I am assuming are from my old account. I had always backed up to an external hard drive via Time Capsule.
How can I delete these from the old computer to free up space for her ?

Those are 'local snapshots'... they will 'self-delete' after one week, so there's nothing to worry about. When you delete data, the snapshots of that data remain for one week and then they're gone (along with the data that you trashed).
It's just a TM 'safety net'!

How to delete backed up files from Time Capsule in Lion.

Since I upgraded to Lion I have been unable to delete old backed up items in Time Machine. I use Time Capsule and previously with Snow Leopard I could right click on a file and choose to delete all copies of the file. The option to do that is no longer available. Is there a setting I'm missing here? Thanks.

You cannot delete items from Local backups (the white "tick marks"). See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

How to Delete Back groundof an image??

hi..
I have an image with black letters written over yellow back ground.Plz tell me how to Extract the black letters and remove the yellow back ground using J2me.
Regards
Gopal

Hi
conver the image to a mutable image object ( I hope u are using MIDP 2.0). Get the pixels from the image object. Extract the RGB values from the int array that u get after getRGB() . Check the R, G, B values of the pixels .. if they pixel is black then the R, G and B values must be closer to 0. Set a limit , dont touch the values close to 0 but for values that are higher than the black limit set R , G, and B component to 255. Then create an Image Object using this new int array.
Now the image will have a white back ground and Black letters remain intact.
U can set the Alfa value , i.e. the first 8 bits in the integer array of pixel values to 0 .. this would make the image transparent.
Dont know if this helps you .. but in case u want to do something like this ... have a look at
Image.createImage()
Image.getRGB()
methods in the API ( MIDP 2.0 offcourse)

Do you have a bootable backup drive? Without that or without a boot disc you are strongly disadvantaged. There are ways you can attempt recovery but they are not simple.

I believe you used ntfs for a reason. As far as I know, Windows isn't friendly with hdd filesystems others than fat or ntfs, so once you format your external harddrive to ext4, windows won't talk to it at all, unless you install some additional driver or software.
You have several possibilities to do:
1) You could use FAT32, it's kind of a dumb filesystem, linux, mac and windows can read and write to it, there are some limitations like file permisions or 4GB file size limit.
2) You could make multiple partitions on your external harddrive, one with ntfs (for windows) and the other with some fs that is support natively in Linux and Mac, I believe only option would be HFS+. I'm not an expert, maybe somebody will correct me. Anyway, if you aren't going to connect your disk to Mac, than ext4 would be a good choice. But this approach with two different partions is kind of dumb, because usually you need the same data available on whatever platform.
3) If I were you, I would continue using NTFS or FAT32. It's not ideal, but it's a price you have to pay for dealing with Windows systems.
4) If there is any other smarter solution, I believe somebody will add it to responses bellow.
Anyway, it's weird that your problem persists. There has to be something wrong with your filesystem, otherwise ls wouldn't show you question marks in its output. Did you perform chkdisk via GUI? It has to say that either there wasn't any error with your fs, or that there was some error. We live (unfortunatelly) in binary computer world. I mean you can perform that command from shell, or however microsoft calls it, and if you run it in a proper configuration, it will tell you whether your fs is bad or not and perform needed repairs.
And how to format disk to ext4?
Backup your data, run as root fdisk /dev/yourexthdd (fdisk /dev/sdd), delete all partitions, create new ones, once you are done, write changes down. fdisk is pretty easy to use, don't be afraid of it. Then you have to create filesystem on each partition you created with fdisk, so if you created only one, run mkfs.ext4 /dev/yourexthddwithpartnumber (mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd1). There are nice articles about doing these things on Arch Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/File_Systems), don't be worried to read them

How to back up a ZFS boot disk ?

Hello all,
I have just installed Solaris 10 update 6 (10/08) on a Sparc machine (an Ultra 45 workstation) using ZFS for the boot disk.
Now I want to port a custom UFS boot disk backup script to ZFS.
Basically, this script copies the boot disk to a secondary disk and makes the secondary disk bootable.
With UFS, I had to play with the vfstab a bit to allow booting off the secondary disk, but this is not necessary with ZFS.
How can I perform such a backup of my ZFS boot disk ?
I tried the following (source disk: c1t0d0, target disk: c1t1d0):
# zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
rpool 110G 118G 94K /rpool
rpool/ROOT 4.58G 118G 18K legacy
rpool/ROOT/root 4.58G 25.4G 4.50G /
rpool/ROOT/root/var 79.2M 4.92G 79.2M /var
rpool/dump 16.0G 118G 16.0G -
rpool/export 73.3G 63.7G 73.3G /export
rpool/homelocal 21.9M 20.0G 21.9M /homelocal
rpool/swap 16G 134G 16K -
# zfs snapshot -r rpool@today
# zpool create -f -R /mnt rbackup c1t1d0
# zfs send -R rpool@today | zfs receive -F -d rbackup               <- This one fails (see below)
# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
The send/receive command fails after transfering the "/" filesystem (4.5 GB) with the following error message:
cannot mount '/mnt': directory is not empty
There may be some kind of unwanted recursion here (trying to back up the backup or something) but I cannot figure it out.
I tried a workaround: creating the mount point outside the snapshot:
zfs snapshot -r rpool@today
mkdir /var/tmp/mnt
zpool create -f -R /var/tmp/mnt rbackup c1t1d0
zfs send -R rpool@today | zfs receive -F -d rbackup
But it still fails, this time with mounting "/var/tmp/mnt".
So how does one back up the ZFS boot disk to a secondary disk in a live environment ?

OK, this post requires some clarification.
First, thanks to robert.cohen and rogerfujii for giving some elements.
The objective is to make a backup of the boot disk on another disk of the same machine. The backup must be bootable just like the original disk.
The reason for doing this instead of (or, even better, in addition to) mirroring the boot disk is to be able to quickly recover a stable operating system in case anything gets corrupted on the boot disk. Corruption includes hardware failures, but also any software corruption which could be caused by a virus, an attacker or an operator mistake (rm -rf ...).
After doing lots of experiments, I found two potential solutions to this need.
Solution 1 looks like what rogerfujii suggested, albeit with a few practical additions.
It consists in using ZFS mirroring and breaking up the mirror after resilvering:
     - Configure the backup disk as a mirror of the boot disk :
     zpool attach -f rpool <boot disk>s0 <backup disk>s0
     - Copy the boot block to the backup disk:
     installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/<backup disk>s0
     - Monitor the mirror resilvering:
     zpool status rpool
     - Wait until the "action" field disappears (this can be scripted).
     - Prevent any further resilvering:
     zpool offline rpool <backup disk>s0
     Note: this step is mandatory because detaching the disk without offlining it first results in a non bootable backup disk.
     - Detach the backup disk from the mirror:
     zpool detach rpool <backup disk>s0
     POST-OPERATIONS:
     After booting on the backup disk, assuming the main boot disk is unreachable:
     - Log in as super-user.
     - Detach the main boot disk from the mirror
     zpool detach rpool <boot disk>s0
This solution has many advantages, including simplicity and using no dirty tricks. However, it has two major drawbacks:
- When booting on the backup disk, if the main boot disk is online, it will be resilvered with the old data.
- There is no easy way to access the backup disk data without rebooting.
So if you accidentally lose one file on the boot disk, you cannot easily recover it from the backup.
This is because the pool name is the same on both disks, therefore effectively preventing any pool import.
Here is now solution 2, which I favor.
It is more complex and dependent on the disk layout and ZFS implementation changes, but overall offers more flexibility.
It may need some additions if there are other disks than the boot disk with ZFS pools (I have not tested that case yet).
***** HOW TO BACKUP A ZFS BOOT DISK TO ANOTHER DISK *****
1. Backup disk partitioning
- Clean up ZFS information from the backup disk:
The first and last megabyte of the backup disk, which hold ZFS information (plus other stuff) are erased:
dd if=/dev/zero seek=<backup disk #blocks minus 2048> count=2048 of=/dev/rdsk/<backup disk>s2
dd if=/dev/zero count=2048 of=/dev/rdsk/<backup disk>s2
- Label and partition the backup disk in SMI :
format -e <backup disk>
     label
     0          -> SMI label
     y
     (If more questions asked: press Enter 3 times.)
     partition
     (Create a single parition, number 0, filling the whole disk)
     label
     0
     y
     quit
     quit
2. Data copy
- Create the target ZFS pool:
zpool create -f -o failmode=continue -R /mnt -m legacy rbackup <backup disk>s0
Note: the chosen pool name is here "rbackup".
- Create a snapshot of the source pool :
zfs snapshot -r rpool@today
- Copy the data :
zfs send -R rpool@today | zfs receive -F -d rbackup
- Remove the snapshot, plus its copy on the backup disk :
zfs destroy -r rbackup@today
zfs destroy -r rpool@today
3. Backup pool reconfiguration
- Edit the following files:
/mnt/etc/vfstab
/mnt/etc/power.conf
/mnt/etc/dumpadm.conf
In these files, replace the source pool name "rpool" with the backup pool name "rbackup".
- Remove the ZFS mount list:
rm /mnt/etc/zfs/zpool.cache
4. Making the backup disk bootable
- Note the name of the current boot filesystem:
df -k /
E.g.:
# df -k /
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
rpool/ROOT/root 31457280 4726390 26646966 16% /
- Configure the boot filesystem on the backup pool:
zpool set bootfs=rbackup/ROOT/root rbackup
Note: "rbackup/ROOT/root" is derived from the main boot filesystem name "rpool/ROOT/root".
- Copy the ZFS boot block to the backup disk:
installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/<backup disk>s0
5. Cleaning up
- Detach the target pool:
zpool export rbackup
I hope this howto will be useful to those like me who need to change all their habits while migrating to ZFS.
Regards.

How to use recovery disks to get rid of hdd password?

I got this compute and it's asking me to put in the built in HDD password, which I do not have so I purchased the recovery disks. I did what it said but didn't do anything? Help me please!

Hello
The recovery disk will not delete the HDD password. Recovery disk will just reinstall Windows with all drivers and tools (factory settings) but not delete any HDD or BIOS password. Of course the Windows password will be deleted due recovery installation but thats all.
