Drive Preparation
1.Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size. -
Hi, can someone help please - my iPhone hasn't been backed up since early August, now I can't seem to get it to back up to iCloud. I have 9GB of space, I have left it plugged in etc for 11hrs, but keep getting the same message " iPhone backup could not be completed" -what dies that mean.?
Hi,
I was facing issues with both backup and FB integration after the iOs 6 upgrade. Before then I did not have any issues with the iCloud backup service, but after a few days, I noticed that it was continually stuck at the Estimating time for the backup and it never progressed.
As any good techie would, I tackled the most pressing issue first . . . FB integration of course.
I had read in a separate post about this solution so tried it . . .
I deleted the original FB app and hard booted the phone. I then went into settings and entered the data for FB integration. Seconds later, I received a text message to my phone - already listed and verified in FB with a 6 digit code to re-enter instead of my password. Seconds later I was verified and then prompted to download the FB app. All backup and integrated.
Then I went into the iCloud backup, turned it off . . . and deleted the last backup. I then re-enabled backup . . . and although I thought I was going to face the same issue, after a few minutes, it moved on from Estimating time . . . to actually backing up. It is now a small way through the backup and seems to estimate that it will take another two hours to complete.
A good nights work. Backup and integration all sewed up. Good luck.
Cheers

my i5 screen is broken, i cant get through my passcode to back up my pictures to my computer, can someone help?
Is it that you cant see the screen or you cant use the touchpanel??
If you have synced with itunes since you set that passcode you should be able to do an itunes backup which will save the photos even without entering the passcode. -

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.

Now try a video. If that didn't help, click: Request HTML Player here > YouTube -
If someone phones my mobile number, they are prompted to leave a 10-second message which them comes to me as a text. I want real voicemail with real voices but I don't know how to set it up on my iPhone4S. Can someone help please?
Ask your wireless provider. None of what you describe has to do with the phone itself.

If it is itunes on your computer - stop people from connecting their phones to your computer, do not connect to others.

I'm 67 yrs. old.I live in the U.K. I want to use my credit in i-tunes to find the Yoga Studio app. for my MacBook Air laptop.All I can find are apps. for i-phones,i-pads and i-pods.Can anyone help please.
Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.

Hi CaptainD,

My Apple Time Capsule stopped backing up a few weeks ago and after upgrading to Mavericks on my IMac I keep getting the message:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/karen’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.

Also a friend had orginally set my wifi up to be called "Karen's wifi" and it has also stopped connecting to the wi fi also so am using ethernet connect.
Can someone please give me an idiot's step by step guide please so my back will work again?
Thank youLocate the Time Capsule
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
Wait a few minutes, then try another backup
If you are having WiFi connection problems, you should start another separate post for that issue. -
