Is there a way to switch to a different sparsebundle file in Time Machine?

I needed to reset my Time Capsule. When I started doing a Time Machine backup, it created a new sparsebundle file. I now have two. The old one can mount on my desktop and I can see that it has all my previous backup files. But I can't figure out how to switch to it so that I can access all the older backups through Time Machine (as opposed to just today's). Change Disk doesn't work. I also tried changing the file name, but that didn't work, either.
Any help would be appreciated.

Photos taken on the iPad will always be synced with iTunes along with contacts, bookmarks and notes created on the iPad. However, if you have synced this iPad with a different computer which has transfered its photos to iPad, a different iTunes will not transfer or backup these to the new computer. Same goes with music which has not been purchased in iTunes but synced from another computer, such as ripped CD's.
Apple assumes your using one iTunes to sync with multiple devices. Not the other way around. This is the advantage of iCloud, as long as your using the one apple ID you can sync from the cloud to multiple devices without being tethered to one machine.
But if you have synced this iPad with a different iTunes or computer and have put iTunes Purchased music onto it, then you will get a warning like the one below, giving you the option of syncing this music into the current iTunes if the computer is authorised with the same apple ID... In other words; if your using the same apple ID on two different computers to make iTunes purchases.
Once again, Apple assumes your using one Apple ID and not mixing and matching with another persons account. If you would like to share music which is not purchased through iTunes you are free to do so, but you cannot use a regular "iPad sync with iTunes" as the conduit to do so, you should use a hard drive or even an iPod in Disk Use Mode to merge iTunes content from one computer onto you primary apple computer for syncing.

I hope that isn't too much to process. Feel free to ask any more questions :]

Is there a way to send email to different people at one time without having to reopen address list each time I pick one

Is there a way to keep email address list open when sending to multiple people. List closes after choosing one person, then have to open to send to next person, etc. etc.

There is a way to create a mailing list.
In the notes app create a list of email addresses separated by commas, i.e. [email protected],[email protected],[email protected]
Copy the address list
Create an entry in contacts for the list
In the email field paste the address list
When you send an email using the email list, you may get a message saying the email address appears to be invalid, select to send anyway.

Is there a way of retrieving draft emails i've lost though time machine back up?

Hi,
I am currently running Time Machine back up, which works fine. However for stupid reason the other day i managed to delete all my draft emails, which i kind of use as a note pad for things that i am working on.
Is there a way of getting all these mail items back.
I have looked for where this "mail folder" should be kept in the time capsual but it doesn't exist or i cant get draft mails.
Any help - as i have lost some really important things - like a full notation on the amazing milestones in my baby daughters life.
Ade

strangely i have gone and unanswered my own question, it was simple and brilliant too.
All you do is open drafts in your current state, and then open time machine, take yourself back to the time required, and all the draft items are there.
Then press restore. Just amazing how Time capsual works.
Excellent

Anywhere in the software I could look. Please help me!! THANKS!

Thanks for you help - my G4 is not supported by leopard so I am going to look at other options.

Is there a way to back up an iPad using something like Time Machine?

I have had a MBP for a few years now and I love it. One of the features I really like is Time Machine. I just purchased the new iPad and have filled my 64 GB to the brim. I would like to back it up to my laptop or portable HD and recover all the data just as I would using time machine. So in case it is lost, stolen or broken I could restore it onto a new device as was before. Is there an app for this? Thanks in advance for the help.

HT5622 My family has multiple phones on one apple ID. Is there a way of switching it so we each have our own ID without losing everything?

My family has multiple phones on one apple ID. Is there a way of switching it so we each have our own ID without losing everything?

Hi ndmulderx,
If I understand correctly, your family has been sharing a single Apple ID and now you want to give everyone an individual Apple ID without losing any content. You can do this with Family Sharing. The article below provides details about the feature which will allow you to share purchases between family members, create shared photo albums and much more.

Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the command line? I want to write a script to set up certain applications in certain workspaces (without having to do it manually each time)...

Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the comnand line? I use several workspaces from Spaces, each workspace having a certain number of fixed applications running. Rather than set all this up each time I log on, I'd like to write a script from the command line (I use gawk) to automate this. Currently I have a gawk script that, given a directory, opens a few xterms whose working directory is the given directory, and opens "preview" applied to a certain file in that directory. However, at present I have to manually move an xterm through each workspace and run my gawk script in each workspace (applied to each directory that I'm working on).
There must be a better way...

Addendum: Can this be done via: open -a Spaces --args xxx , where xxx is some set of arguments (or something like this)?

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Is there a way to switch plans?

Hey. I took my girlfriend to the movies for her birthday, and I don't have enough for the $14 unlimited plan this month, but I have enough for one of the cheaper plans for this month. Is there a way to switch to switch to one of those for now?

The issue of cross store purchasing comes up frequently so I'll just quote one of the most complete explanations (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store you must be able to show some form of residency which would be either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

Is there a way to switch to an earlier software update?

Is there a way to switch to an earlier software update?

Its not officially supported, but its really easy to do.
Download prior versions here:
http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22056 (be sure you get the correct version).
To install these firmwares, download the files in the browser and save to disk, then use iTunes to restore.
First you will need to put your phone into DFU mode. Next, you will use the “shift restore” (PC) or “option restore” (OSX). This will bring up a file selection box in iTunes that allows you to find the file you downloaded to program.
Remember, if you are downgrading your firmware then you will get an error at the end of the process such as 1011, 1013, 1015 or such. This is normal.
This has worked for all prior versions, but who knows if Apple disabled this with 2.2, as it contains a new baseband engine.
You might be better served to find out why your 2.2 does not work, because going backwards in the long run is counter-productive. Getting it to work is a better idea. This method can be used to install 2.2 as well if itunes is having problems downloading.

Below are the instructions to set your modem to 3G-only mode:
Open VZAccess Manager with your card inserted, but do NOT connect to the internet.
Hold Control + D on your keyboard.
You will be prompted to enter a password. Enter diagvzw.
Select "settings" from the menu.
In the for preferred operating mode section, select Auto CDMA Then click OK.
Your modem will now only connect to the 3G network. Just remember that you will need to manually change it if you travel to an area where you want to connect to the 4G network (if available).
We trust that you find the above instructions helpful.

Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? The new black-on-white color scheme is more difficult to see and use for the visually impaired.

Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? After upgrading to ios 6, the keypad switched to a black-on-white color scheme. I have a severe visual impairment and found the previous white-on-black color scheme much easier to see and use.
The inverted colors option doesn’t make things look all that better. My dad, who does not have any serious vision problems, has put off upgrading his iphone because of the color scheme changes.

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.
