HT201250 I am doing an initial back up of my files, which looks like it's going to take 3-4 days because of photos. If I turn off the computer in the middle of the download to Time Machine, does this delete everything that has been backed up so far? Thnx.

I am about halfway done uploading files to Time Machine. However, because I have a lot of photos, the upload is taking days. If I turn off my computer, will I lose the files that have been uploaded so far?
Thanks!

How much is on your system, what are you backing-up to, and how is it connected? See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #29 for a rough idea of how long it should take.

If you turn it off, doubtful, but the backups may need to be repaired, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If you cancel the backup, no. But they'll be mostly inaccessible until a backup does complete normally.
They're in an 'in.Progress" package on the backup drive; when you start another backup, Time Machine will start over, but it won't re-copy all that data. It will take quite a while, and appear to be backing-up quite slowly, as it recovers those files.
If you're backing-up to a TIme Capsule, connect via Ethernet cable if at all possible -- it will still take a long time (20-25 GBhour) but be much faster and more reliable than via WIFI.

How do I turn off the downloads window?

How do I turn off the downloads window? I recently upgraded FF, hated the new one, so downgraded back. When I upgraded I got the new downloads ribbon at the bottom of the screen and no longer had the downloads window. However, for whatever reason I decided to turn the window on. But when I downgraded I realized that this interferes with programs that I had previously set up to download directly to a certain program. Bottom line... I do NOT want the downloads window.

I know you can go to Tools, then Options, and click the Downloads tab and configure how you want it that way. Do you have the Download Manager Tweak as an add on?

Don't think so. The point of the offline reading list is to allow you to read it later without going online. It has to download the content to make this possible.

Should you turn off the ipod each time?

Should you turn off the Ipod each time you use it? Or how often?

No, but you should turn it on if you are going to use it. It will turn itself off automatically after a few seconds of non-use.

Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

Can anybody help please How do I Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

I have a similar problem. I actually spoke with a Paypal customer Representative a few months back who informed me that they had deleted all of my previous *Hidden* Address but when I just purchased an item today on a online merchant's site that I had never been to before and checked out using their Paypal option, I noticed that my default shipping address was in fact my old address and when I went to change the address to my current address, I noticed all of the old addresses I ever used were still there. I've just spoken with 2 separate paypal representatives who confirmed on their end that all of the old address have been deleted and the only one they have on file is my current address. Can anyone provide me an explanation as to why the old hidden address can still be showing up when I check out on merchant's sites using paypal even after they've seemingly been deleted? The last Representative suggested clearing out my browser's cache, but I don't believe that will resolve my issue. Thank you in advance.

I get this message when I am trying to save a file that was done in CS4, now using CS6 "Cannot save the file as the font "ArmenianLSU-italic" could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions. Turn off the pdf compatibility option and try again." Even if I start a new file I unable to save it with this font. I need to use this font.

Then you need to outline all text before savng the PDF.
Make sure you do this on a copy of the file.

Can I use Time Machine on an external drive that has files already on it.

Please excuse the silly question. New to mac, from PC.
I have a 200g external hard drive that has my itunes library, photos and other assorted files on it.
If I use time machine on this drive will it delete everything that is there, or can I use it in conjunction with the other files that are there?

You can use a Time Machine drive to save other files on it but I think time machine formats the drive when you first activate it so you will have to temporarily move your files while that happens. You best bet would be to partition the drive into a time machine portion and another for your files.

Is the iPad and iPhone affected by this malware virus that has infected all these Macs?

I am wondering if this malware that has infected so many Macs has also made iPad and iPhone vulnerable? Could my iPad be infected and how do I check to see if it is or how do you fix this?

I'm not going to post links just so you can have fun mocking. You're a big boy, go read. Something anyone knew had to happen eventually, hackers have gotten tired of zipping into PC's and are turning their attention to Macs. Give it a few years and they'll find a way too poke a hole into Android and iOS and Linux....bored folks with nothing better to do.
Any 'panic' is to be expected especially since Mac has always been very superior in it's 'don't get viruses/less vulnerable to viruses' stuff. Well, that's not because they were never vulnerable, just because hackers have always focused on the larger target base, PC's. But now that Mac market shares are growing, they're a bigger target. Just as tablets will become a bigger target as more and more are put into use.
There will eventually be an iPad virus. May take a few years, but someone will do it if for no other reason than to brag that they did.

HT204093 I am trying to turn off the preview panel. Any ideas how to do that?

How do I turn off mail preview?

Hey DogJoey,
You can adjust the preview window or completely hide it by dragging the separator all the way to the right. For more information take a look at the article below. It will be for OS X Yosemite, but will be the same for OS X Mavericks.

Does this mean my screen has been scratched?

I've had a screen protector on my ipad 2 since the moment I opened it. I've been using the Flick joystick to play Gangstar for awhile, and it's never had any side effects, like scratching.
Today, I was playing Aralon also using the Flick joystick, and after I was done, I noticed a few lines/scuff marks where the Flick was. Now I can see some discoloration in those spots. I don't really know how to describe it, it looks all rainbow-ish, similar to the way my TV screen looked when it got scratched. It's especially noticeable when I have a white background on.
Does this mean I've scratched the screen? I can't understand how it would have scratched considering I have a screen protector on and the Flick never scratched the screen before.
I've tried rubbing the spots with a microfiber cloth, but it's not helping. I also tried some LCD screen cleaner and that didn't help either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If there was oil/grease on the screen, shouldn't a microfiber cloth get it out? If not, how do I get it off?

- Just transfer the apps and iBooks to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
- Preferences and photos taken by the iPad are included in the backup that iTunes makes

Knuckleheads at apple turn off the download before more people brick iphone

To Apple.. If you try to check for updates via the menu, it still downloads the update just fine.. and then of course, bricks our phones.. Maybe you knuckleheads should take this off, so your problem doesn't get worse.. And for those that are about to tell me that apple doesnt read the forums.. yes they do.. they just don't respond...

This is what is killing me! The fact that they continue to ignore this major problem! People are getting up or home from work or whatever, and seeing they can update their iPhone software (totally un-aware of the problems)and ending up with a dead phone!
This update should have been pulled hours ago until they sorted out the server issues!
This is an incredible joke. And Apple just ignore it!
