    It can't be expanded.  You'll have to use a different calendar service if iCloud limits aren't enough.

  • I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

    I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.

    You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

  • HT4910 I can not back up my iPhone.  it says I need more storage space.  I purchased more space and icloud says it is there, but the phone is not recognizing this and continues to say that I need to purchase more space in order to back it up.  Any ideas?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Firevault: "Your homefolder is using more space than required"

    I would like to ask for some help. After every log-out, Firevault tells me that "Your homefolder is using more space than required" (or something between that lines). What can I do?
    Thank you for the help.

    Hi Morales,
    Unless you have a need for military-level security, FileVault is overkill. It slows your computer because all sorts of cache and preference files are repeatedly encrypted and decrypted, and because filevault is saving all your files in a big "container file," disk and directory errors that would otherwise be minor can cause massive data loss on a filevault-ed computer.
    To keep SOME files secure, an encrypted, password protected disk image is a better idea. You can make encrypted disk images with Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Do File > New > Disk Image from Folder.

  • Can I use iCloud for backup?

    Can I use iCloud for backup?

    To back up all your data you are better off getting an external hard drive.  For details on iCould, read: http://www.apple.com/icloud/.

  • I am using MS Office 2010 and Windows XP Professional, can I use iCloud for backup of my files and documents?

    I am using MS Office 2010 and Windows XP Professional, can I use iCloud for backup of my files and documents? I am planning to transition to a Mac so using the iCloud seems to make the most sence.

    No, it is not a backup method at all.  If you delete a sync'd file on any device, you delete it permanently from iCloud.  That by its very essence is not a backup solution therefore.  A backup solution does not automatically and simultaneiously delete the file everywhere when it is deleted from the original source.
    iCloud is strictly a syncronization tool for using files on multiple internet connected devices.

  • Does anybody else use "Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)" for this?

    Does anyone else do this?
    Does anybody else use "Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)" for this?
    I add special "white spaces" of an unchanging width:
    Is there an easier way to "automate" this?  The way I do it is horrible ...  horribly bad

    I don't think you can automate exactly that, but you might be able to get spacing you like better in general if you reduce the word spacing range and increase the letter spacing range in your justification settings.

  • Using more then 126 chars for naming models...

    Today i noticed that models in Shockwave3D can have a maximum
    number of 126 characters. I needed to know that because i have to
    store some Informations in the names of the models when i export
    them (i have not option to use the "userdate" when exporting the
    models).
    But now something interesting happend when i tried to create
    long names in director via lingo. If the names are longer then 126
    charakters they are limited to the first 126.
    if you use for example this code to generate a new group:
    member("world").newgroup("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
    consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
    tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliq")
    this are 126 chars, you get a group with exact this name.
    if you now add more charakters at the end it will produce
    another group with the same name as the group above. You can check
    this in the Objectinspector.
    use now this code:
    member("world").newgroup("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
    consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
    tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliqLorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
    consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
    tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliq")
    It will produce a second Group with exact the same name. The
    good thing is, that you can still reference to the model with that
    long name, the bad thing is, you can't read the full name of the
    model anymore.
    What does this mean in the end?
    There is a visible name of the model that can be read by
    lingo, but there is the "real" name of the model that can be used
    to reference to models. If the names have more then 126 chars you
    can only see the shortend name but its still nessesary to reference
    to the longer name.
    if you try this in the message window (this are 127 chars, i
    added a "2" as last character):
    member("world").newgroup("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
    consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
    tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliq2")
    put member("world").group("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
    consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
    tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliq2").name
    -- "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit,
    sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna
    aliq"
    but
    put member("world").group("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
    consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod
    tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliq").name
    will give you an error!
    Conclusion:
    It's better not to use more then 126 characters for naming
    models.
    But if you want to prevent your 3D models from being used by
    other people, then you can use longer names and add for example a
    serialnumber to the models, behind char 126. So you can generate
    shockwave apps that need to know the correct name of the model.
    if you give your models in your 3D app names like this:
    "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit,
    sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna
    aliq_12345"
    (132 chars)
    the last part is in this example the serialnumber "_12345"
    you can only reference to the models with
    serialnum="_12345"
    rightname=member("world").model[1].name & serialnum
    put rightname.position
    Maybe interesting to some people that want to make external
    w3D files unconfortable to handle for other people, you still can
    reference to the models by their numbers. I think it will only
    prevent models form the "CloneModelFromCastmember" command, not
    much... in the end there is no real protection when external *.w3d
    files are used...
    regards!

    hehe Don�t worry! It�s good to post here things
    like these. I already
    faced the character limitation and couldn�t use
    userData either because
    the modeler needed to use Maya. Can�t recall how did I
    solve it... I
    think that using a database. Anyway, now we know that we
    won�t be able
    of stealing your models with 3DPI

  • HT4946 Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer. I deleted pictures from my iPhone and added then to the ipad, but now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not?

    Can I back up my iPhone 4S to my ipad 3 (64 gb)? I do not have a computer running Mountain Lion. Our desktop still runs Tiger, so I purchased the 3rd generation iPad with 64 gb thinking it had had plenty of room to backup my iPhone photos. I used a camera connection kit and transferred about 1100 old photos from my camera roll on my iPhone to my ipad.  I then deleted pictures from my iPhone and now my camera roll has only 357 photos. However, in the Settings, under "About" it says I have 2147 photos. Why? I only have a total of 216 photos in all my albums. However, now I don't have enough space in iCloud to backup either device. Why not?  Any help, any advice, appreciated please! I spent a long time on the phone with Apple today and they couldn't solve the problem.

    iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.

    Since updating my iPad 2 to IOS6 and activating my icloud for backup, my iPad has permanently locked. Message on screen is "iPad Not Backed Up". I click ok but no response. Cannot turn power off and cannot restore via my pc itunes. What are my options?

    Thanks to everyone who responded and related subject helped. Holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds does unlock the screen. I can now use my ipad again. However, a futher problem has arisen since updating to IOS6 and activating icloud at same time, Although not sure if its related. The problem is that when connected to my PC the itunes message appears 'Cannot read ipad'. It instructs you to restore but keeps timing out after about 1 hour. This maybe internet issue but can't understand why itunes cannot read my ipad. May need to completely erase all content & reset. Or any other suggestions why this has happened?

  • How do I create more space on Time Machine backup disk?

    How do I create more space on Time Machine backup disk?

    since time machine in Snow Leopard stops backing up when there's no more space on the disk,
    That is has not been my experience, and does not appear to be agree with this Time Machine documentation:
    Backup drive fills up
    As your backup drive begins to fill up to its capacity, Time Machine intelligently deletes the oldest backups to make room for newer ones (and will alert you if the "Notify after old backups are deleted" option is selected in Time Machine preferences).
