IOS 6 has messed up my backup

I've been having issues with backup ever since I upgraded to IOS-6 on my iphone 4S.

This has happened to me - trying to do a restore and that's not working either! This happened to me with iOS5 too. So this means being without my iPhone for several days or weeks AGAIN while I find time to trundle down to the Apple store for them to fix it - last time nothing I tried worked at all.
Fed up - this is why I'm switching to the Samsung Galaxy 2 guys - your software takes too long to download and update and then as often as not it causes far more problems than it fixes. Very disappointed

I am working on a Win 7 Machine and I have disabled all Firewall and Antivirus Tasks as this caused problems on an other update.

Well - I synced before - that was successful - but I am a bit scared to ignore this error and just to continue? You think I should ignore that?

I downloaded the iOS 7 update on my iPad 2 and I hate it! It has messed up many things. Can I go back to iOS 6?

Sorry but Apple doesn't support downgrading.
There are a few things you can do to help change the appearance. You can go to settings, general, accessibility and adjust the contrast, text size, bold the text. You can also adjust the brightness in the control panel. Maybe this will make it a little better looking for you.

Maverick os has messed up my system

the system has messed up my computer, can i get rid of it

you havent given any information on specifics of what "issue" you have.
If you have a time machine backup, you could restore to mountain Lion.
However the Air runs faster and better on Mavericks.

Ios6 has messed up my i4 ft quality has gone down the tube reconnecting every 5-10 seconds any ideas how to fix

The new updates to 6.0.1 has messed up my phone. Face time is always every5-10 seconds saying reconnecting poor quality when both users have full wifi signal with nothing else running in the back ground taking up bandwidth. What's the deal an it seems like I am not the only iPhone user that I have come across that is having this problem iPhones ranging from the 4,4s,5,ipad2 and ipad3 users seem to be having this same issue is there a fix. If not is there a way to go back to the 5.0 iOS that was alot more stable with no issues.

Problem Solved!!! :) No need Of Any AntiVirus !
Got back into '''Firefox 5.0.1''' !!
Its Working Great!

HT203421 Mountain Lion download has messed up my calendar. One calendar is missing on my MAc but not on my ipad or iPhone

Mountain Lion download has messed up my calendar. One calendar is missing on my Mac but not on my ipad or iPhone

OKAY FOLKS, I found the answer. I figured the only explination could be with my iCloud Account. I tried EVERYTHING, read every discussion on this topic. It WASN'T b/c I had an old Mobile Me account. It WASN'T b/c I didn't have the sttings right. I rebooted, erased data, EVERYTHING. The only solution was to create a NEW iCloud account - I chose a new address through Apple (me.com). Even though I already have a me.com email address and a different Apple ID I figured starting fresh was the only way. Sadly, I lost all of my calendar data (when I tried to import my old calendar data from a backup it was associated with the old iCloud account and could not be edited) but my contacts were saved. I just re-entered my calendar information... figured this would be less time consuming than trying to reboot and research the issue 10 more hours!
Here are the steps I used:
1- iCloud was OFF on my iPhone to start
2- Export your iCal and iContacts data from your Mac to a backup (you WILL lose your data)
3- On iPhone went to Settings, iCloud and went through the proper steps to set up a new iCloud account with a NEW email address (me.com)
4- On iMac under System Preferences I deleted my OLD iCloud account (it will prompt you stating you will lose your data or you can merge/save). The only way I could get it to work was to accept the warning it was going to delete everything
5- Set up a NEW iCloud account on my Mac with the NEW me.com account I set up on my iPhone. Somehow my Contacts were kept in tact, uploaded to iCloud and to my iPhone. Had issues with my iCal data, but I entered all the information manually.
Everything is syncing great! Haven't set this up yet on my iPad but will do that next. I'm hopeful!!

My external hard drive (1TB WD My Book Essential) suddenly has no room to backup with Time Machine! I am using Maverick OS and wondered if it is because of a bug in the system software.

My external hard drive (1TB WD My Book Essential) suddenly has no room to backup with Time Machine! I am using Maverick OS and wondered if it is because of a bug in the system software. I purchased a new external drive with 3 TB and wonder if I will run into a problem installing it. I don't know how to transfer my files from the previous HD to the New one. I was told to use a cable, but how do I do it? Do I connect them both to the computer and drag the old into the new? How is it done? Why did this happen, the overloading of the Time Machine?

Why has the TimeMachine drive run out of space?
With the limited amount of information you've provided it is hard to answer this question. TimeMachine should continue making backups until the drive is full and then it should erase the oldest backup(s) to retrieve enough space for the next backup. Unless your computer's hard drive has close to 1TB of space on it, you shouldn't see a message saying TM cannot backup because it is full. However if you do have more than 500GB (1/2 a TB) then I can see how that message might occur. Also, if you are using the TM drive for double duty (backing up more than one computer or storing data other than TM) you could get that message.
Will you have this problem with a 3TB drive?
I always recommend that people look at how much they'll be backing up in total, add a bit extra for the future, and then multiply that by at least 1.5 and even better to double it. That indicates how large the TM backup drive should be. The TM drive should only be used for TM backups. It is ok to use one drive to back up more than one computer but if doing so, add up the contents of all the computer drives, adjust for the future and then double it.
Moving Forward
Disconnect the old TM drive for now. Connect the new drive and let TM do its job. I don't recommend that you try to transfer the TM backup from the old drive to the new one. Keep the old drive around for a couple months just in case you find you need it and then after a few months, if you like, you can erase it and use it for something else.

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?

My timemechine back up has deleted the old backup which had some data I really wanted, how can I recover the deleted old back up .?

My timemechine back up has deleted the old backup which had some data I really want,
Pls can someone help me how to recover the deleted backup by time machine ,
Thanks,

Time Machine is not for archiving files. it keeps a record, backup, of what is on the internal hard drive in your system. Deleting files on the internal hard drive will eventually remove those files from the TM backup files.
Not sure there is anyway to recover them as TM thinks you no longer wanted or needed those files because you deleted them from the internal drive.
Good Luck.

Hi s.kouris,
I'm afraid that unless you are able to contact the previous owner and have him wipe the device, or provide you with his Apple ID password so you can delete the iCloud account, you are out of luck.
With iOS 7, an Activiation Lock was added to deter thieves. This lock prevents anyone but the owner of the device from deleting the iCloud account and restoring the device:

Unless you are able to reach the original owner and get the device wiped or the iCloud account deleted, you are stuck with a brick.
Sorry,

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME MY PLAYER HAS MESSED

Within a year of buying this mp3 player, this is now the THIRD time it has messed up. I have snet it in twice already and do NOT wnat to pay another $25 for them to send me back the same faulty player. I just got it back from them 2 days ago. This is ridiculous. I should not have to pay another dime.Please tell me there is a way I can get a full refund?

I know what you mean, I bought 2 creative mp3 players and both hard dri'ves burned out on me after year and 2 months, conveniently after the warranty would have expired. I had a nomad jukebox 2 and a Creative zen xtra. I will never buy another creative product again.
