I have recently deleted several old backups from a portable usb drive (formated NTFS-3g(MacFUSE). The macmini can´t see it anymore but my imac does? The usb ports of the mac mini can still see my other drives formated with FAT32.

Thanks, it is working now, after I have installed NTFS3G.
I did not format the drive. I was using it as purchased to do backups for a while. After the corporate backup system was working correctly again I was using the disk at home for my homevideos. Since the corporate backup was running correctly for ten days in a row, I have decided to delete those backupfiles on the usb drive. Each backup was a folder consisting of almost 30GB data, mirroring the servers harddrive which is running on windows xp. After I have deleted those folders, only the video files remaind and I could not open the drive on the macmini anymore.

What happens if i delete an old backup from my iCloud to free up space?

What happens if i delete an old backup from my iCloud to free up space?

Nothing. You will lose that backup but you will still be able to make backups in the future if you want to. You can also remove things you do not need from the backup, so you do not have to lose everything from your backup.

I can't delete an old backup from my iCloud

Hi, I'm trying to turn off and delete an old backup from my iCloud, but I received an error message "Cannot Delete Backup - this backup cannot be deleted beacaus it is in use". I don't know how I can delete this old backup. Does anyone help me?
Tks

I'm having the same problem.
I just sold my iPad on eBay and will get the iPad mini Retina, so in the meantime I'm borrowing my brother's iPad.
I backed up my iPad, and restored it to my brother's one, and now I'm trying to delete the old backup, but I get this exact same message, and it's been about 9 hours since I did the restore.
To make matters worse, my 10GB subscription ends tomorrow, and I don't need any more than 5GB, and now I'm over the limit when I could delete this 1GB backup and not have to worry about the subscription ending.
I've tried deleting it from my iMac, iPhone, and this iPad.

I recently deleted approximately 80gb of space on my hard drive by dragging items to the trash and then emptying the trash. However, the space does not show up on my HD as free. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If you are using File Vault, turn it off. To find out where all the extra space is use any of these products - Disk Inventory X

If I delete an old backup from my phone, will those items be deleted from my phone? Example pictures and contacts

In order to install the new iOS7, I want to backup my phone to the iCloud first. I haven't backed up my phone since June, and have deleted tons of stuff since then. My iCloud doesn't have enough room to backup my phone at this time, so can I simply delete the OLD backup from my cloud and make a new backup? *WITHOUT LOSING ANYTHING CURRENTLY ON MY PHONE*? HELP!!!!!!!!

Yes, pictures in Photo Stream will deleted. Only on photo stream not on iCloud and Camera Roll. You can login again if you want.

Of course not. You have bought and downloaded the files. They are yours to keep.

Wat if i delete my old backup from my new device after reatoring in it? Do i loose the data

What if i delete this old back up from my phone i may loose my old data?

You don't lose any data, once restored your new phone will create it's own backup, so deleting backup is precisely what needs to be done.

Unable to backup from one external USB drive to another

Hi all, this one's been doing my head in for a few days and now I'm waving the white flag of surrender and deciding to ask on here.
I'm trying to backup some of my video files off one of my external HDDs onto another external HDD (or DVD - more on that in a minute) but I don't appear to be able to do so. The files I'm attempting to back up are either my own DVD rips or iTunes Movie purchases, since we don't yet have Movies in the Cloud in the UK. At various points during the copy procedure I get the following messages:
The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in <<various names>>.m4v can't be read or written. (Error code -36)
then, after clicking OK, I get:
The operation can't be completed because one or more required items can't be found (Error code -43)
If I use Finder to navigate to the offending named file, there it is in its original place on external disk 1 all nice and happy. In iTunes the file is in the playlist and is perfectly playable. I have turned off "enable disks to sleep where possible" in Preferences to see if one or the other may be going to sleep during the operation. If I use Disk Utility to verify the two HDDs in question both come up as OK. User Permissions are of course off for the external drives and I have tried reformatting the 2nd drive jsut in case. Obviously I can't reformat drive 1 since it contains the data I'm trying to back up and since I can't back it up......you get the idea.
If I try to use a DVD to backup the media files I'm getting the same errors, along with (in the case of an external DVD drive) something about comunnication between the computer and the drive has failed. Now I'm fairly sure I should be able to backup my data for archiving purposes so does anyone have any idea what could be casuing this problem?
I'm currently trying again, using yet another external drive and to copy just over 18.5GB it's giving me an estimated completion time of 15 hours and has seemingly frozen on 50.3MB copied! Now I know USB 2.0 is slow by today's standards but still I feel this is a little excessive. It's now down to 3 hours estimated but keeps pausing and climbing to 15+ then back down again. I'm guessing it's either a read error from disk 1 or a write error to disk 2 but since Verify Disk is showing both are OK I'm not sure how to tell which. And now I just got the error messages quoted at the top of the page again.
OK, ideas anyone.....

You can copy the entire to a file. Use the dmg extension. Double click on file to mount.
Perhaps you should run disk utility on the drive. Maybe the filesystem is mess up.
Do a bit-by-bit copy
You can use the following command to display all partitions:
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
# This is a little deep.
#It is best to do the pdisk command before you eject the external hard drive. Now, eject the external hard drive. Do another pdisk command to see what drive name has disappeared. The disappearing name is the name of your external hard drive.
sudo pdisk -l
#for details...
man pdisk
# Do a bit-by-bit copy.
#eject the partition in the normal GUI
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
dd if=/dev/disk0s10 bs=4096 | gzip | dd of=~/disk0-s10 bs=4096
#this can take awhile. Open another window and do ls -l ~/disk0-s10
# Here is how to restore the partition.
dd if=~/disk0-s10 bs=4096 | gunzip | dd of=/dev/disk0s10 bs=4096
Don't zero out your unused records, since you are having problems with your disk.
Here is another way to run the command. When you run the command in the background you can question how for the process has gotten. Adjust or eliminate count as needed.
mac $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=1kx1k of=/Volumes/MacOSFirewire/zero&
[1] 510
mac $ man kill
mac $ kill -s siginfo 510
953197+0 records in
953196+0 records out
976072704 bytes transferred in 82.524495 secs (11827673 bytes/sec)
mac $ 1048576+0 records in

Here are two utilities for making a complete backup of your internal hard drive. I've recommend using one of these so that you can create a bootable system on your external hard drive. ( PPC require a firewire connected drive. ) Once created, you can run your system from the external drive. Hold down the option key on your keyboard then power on your machine. This will bring you in startup manager click on the drive image you wish to boot then click on the arrow key to the right.

I have no Airport icon in Network. Installed Airport Extreme on 7/29. It is working but the Pro can not see it. My Mac Mini does however.

I open Network in the System preferences but no Airport icon. I launch the Airport Utility (latest version) and it says there is no Airport Extreme running. At the same time, my Mac Mini is running wireless from the Extreme. I am running the Mac Pro hard wired from the Airport and that works. I know the Airport Extreme is running properly. Sure could use some help. Apple is pretty much useless in real troubleshooting.

To use Find my iPad go to iCloud.com and sign in.
You cannot access this feature using the iCloud control panel.

Time machine has deleted all old backups

Hi, I'm desperate! time machine has all the old backups deleted on my time capsule, only today's early still a backup available. It was still 1TB space on the hard disk. What did I do wrong? There was no warning!

Time Machine will not delete your old backups unless it starts to run out of space on the hard drive......or.....your backups have become corrupted and Time Machine cannot repair them.
In the latter case, a message like this will appear on your screen:
Do you recall seeing this message recently?

HT3546 Although I am connected to the internet via Airport the internet connection does not stay on and comes with a "time-out" message. The airport connection is still on however. I have recently bought an old Mac Book 1.1.

I have recently bought an old Mac Book after having purchased an iPhone and iPad.
The internet connection (via Airport) keeps timing out while the Airport connection is still on as confirmed by the Mac and shown on the task bar.
Any ideas?
Thank you,

Hello Erin,
You can and it depends on what you are referring to. For example, are you wanting to remove you old iPad from the Find My iPhone feature, you can do that at iCloud.com and the steps for that are in the first article. If you are wanting to delete an old back up, then check out the second article to walk you through those steps.
