Is this a scam? too good to be true?

Saw a ad in kijiji selling a brand new 440s for $1250 cash. 
specs 
i7 intel
Win7 pro
no touchscreen
fullHD IPS
8 GB RAM
256 SSD
3 year warranty
He says its brand new sealed in box. He wont open box until i am 100% sure to buy it. If I buy similar laptop directly from Lenovo canada it goes for $2,052.
What gives?

There's no guarantee you will get the price on eBay you expect.
Your original iPhone may sell for a decent price since there are still people out there who wish to use iPhone illegally on non authorised networks.
Personally I have lent out my original iPhone, got an O2 pay as you go SIM card for iPhone and given it to a friend to use to see if they can live with iPhone compared to their usual button led mobile (so far they have abandoned their button led mobile in favour of iPhone, so once they are out of contract with their current provider, I think there will be another iPhone dedicatee on the books)

    this seems too good to be true are apple launching a new imac?
    or is this the model befrore the latest upgrade? just seems a really good price!

    It's one of the older Yonah iMacs and as it's "Out of Stock" it's probably not really available just sat there to score well on the price checker websites that will trawl for the lowest priced iMacs and hence list PCWorld at the top. (Call me cynical! )

  • "Cheap OEM Software" If it sounds too good to be true.

    here is some info on the subject.

    Haven't got to memtest yet but I will in a moment. Disk repair found no errors but AHT showed 4SNS/1/40000000: 'TmOP' , which some say is a heat sensor-like problem maybe?
    I'm very disappointed with the "troubleshooting" that was done on the phone the other night with tech support.
    Thanks for the replies.

  • ITunes 7 ...too good to be true... start menu folder problems

    If any one out there like me and prefers to keep there start menu / programs organized then you might run into this ... itunes 7 automatically installs itunes into the directory directly under start menu/programs....and if i try to move the folder into a sub-folder such as start-menu/programs/media folders ... itunes will reinstall itself and make another new folder under start-menu/programs .... this is quite upsetting

    hahahaha!
    It said my ipod update was complete. Then when I go to disconnect it, it says "itunes is updating the ipod. are you sure you want to disconnect it?"
    lol
    it appears to be ruiening all the tracks on my ipod with its gapless playback.
    looks like its time to uninstall iTunes 7, go back to the previous version, restor my ipod to factory settings and remove all the songs, then start over.
    I love apple "upgrades"

  • Is X48C Platinum Too Good to Be True?

    Although I've built several MSI motherboard systems over about five years, I'll admit to never being more hesitant to start a new build than right now.  I've literally been "on hold" since about November 2007, buying just dribs and drabs of components, but always side-stepping and delaying the motherboard purchase. 
    I want to stay Intel, I want to build right out there on the "bleeding edge" . . . a first in itself for me.  This build will be pressed into heavy duty HD video rendering as it's primary, nearly sole, function.
    OK, I'll say it - DDR3 spooks me, both its very high present cost, but more I'm concerned about its long-term viability.  Maybe I shouldn't remember things like RDRAM & RAMBUS, but I do.
    If DDR3 becomes the new memory standard - and it very well may - I want to be able to migrate to it easily, i.e., without changing motherboards.  But I want to build NOW, preferably with DDR2.
    So, very clearly, the NEW MSI X48C Platinum, with it's dual DDR2/DDR3 capability appears to be just what the geek ordered . . . but . . . where is it? 
    Literally the Internet (and especially various Sellers like Newegg to name just one) seems to be almost void of ANY information regarding this motherboard.
    Even these fine MSI Forums are almost without X48C Platinum mention.
    I didn't hijack an existing thread.  Yes, maybe I rambled, but I'm a loyal MSI old guy geek builder in need of any advice and/or comments out there.  Please respond.
    Thanks.

    I would go with Xeon based workstation mainboard from video edit system...... something based around the Intel 5000 chipset. FBdimm slightly cheaper than DDR3 and is now a proven product.....

  • Beware too good to be true

    I recently switched from Comcast I've had nothing but issues with these scammers. I was told I pay 85 a month for the package special they are running for one year. First they took three weeks to setup before I could use it took three techs to setup and finally I was only using the service for a month. They charged me those three weeks and a month. I paid the first bill of 65.00 but then a week later I get a bill for 213.00. I've only used them for a month....they said the first bill I paid was for the partial month I explained I didn't use it until three weeks after the first tech showed up and the last tech fixed it. So please explain to me how they came up with that number again I didn't agree to any charges other than activation and setup for 49.99 so plus 85.00 for monthly how do they come up with 213.00 again I already sent them 65.00 they told me there's nothing they could do....so to save you a headache unless you are prepared to spend 300 dollars for setup don't use uverse cable and Internet. I knew 60.00 a month for a year would have a catch they don't tell you that when they promise you the world to get your business. Scammers! I wish I just stuck with Comcast.

    Need more info.
    What services did you get?  Internet?  What speed?  Did you get TV?  What level?  Did you get phone?
    Did you sign up online or by phone?  What discounts were you promised?
    If you would like help, there might be options.  If you just wanted to rant, mission accomplished.

  • Verizon Edge, to good to be true, or an outright lie?

    I recently (May 15th, 2014) went into a GoVerizon store to upgrade two of our phones on our family plan.
    We have 5 lines connected and we have been on the 1400 family shared minutes with text $10 extra per phone.
    We were due for upgrades (actually some of us were due for an upgrade in 2011).
    So, as we were looking at our options, the representative (Alissa) explains the Edge plan to us.
    She explained that with the special offer, if we choose the 10gb plan we would get $25 off our line fee, AND $25 off our monthly phone payment.
    This was without a two year agreement.
    Well, this offer was too good to pass up! We would have 5 new iPhone 5S' with 10GB of data and only have to pay about $200 a month.
    How could we pass it up? We would only have to pay $15 per month for line fee's, and only $2.17 per month for phone cost fee.
    I asked Alissa if she was sure that we would get $25 off each of these things and Alissa said, "Yes!"
    As I thought about it overnight, I  just didn't believe it, how could they give credit on both the line fee and the phone fee? So I went in the next day to verify what I was told and spoke with the manager of the store (Elisabeth). She explained the plan to me again, and gave me the very same information.
    I questioned her over and over asking how Verizon could do this. She said, "I don't know, it's a great deal, I think that they would like everyone to be on this Edge plan."
    So, now we have 5 new iPhone 5S' and the 10GB Edge plan, no contract and we didn't need to use our upgrades.
    I've been with Verizon since I began using a cell phone. It's been like 16 years!
    Today (May 20th, 2014) I went in to the same store because my 23 year old daughter wanted on the plan too. She is currently with AT&T and bought a used iPhone 4S to avoid a 2 year agreement with them.
    Elisabeth was out for the week and a different employee was working, his name is Aaron. I told Aaron how excited I was at such a great deal. "How can Verizon do it, I mean $25 off our line and our device, Wow!" I said to Aaron.  "Um no, just your line, not your device too." What!?! Are you kidding me?" I was here twice last week, for hours verifying that this plan was indeed what Alissa and Elisabeth were telling me. What am I supposed to do!? We were pushing it to have the bill increase to $200, I can't pay $300!!" I said, now feeling a bit sick to my stomach.
    You see, I share a plan with my parents. They didn't want to upgrade to smartphones, I had to talk them into it. The way I did this is to tell them that they would each be getting a new device that I would help them learn how to use, and it would only cost about $65 more a month total for all of us; so each of us would be paying $40 per month.
    We really could barely squeeze the extra money out of our budget, but the deal was cheaper than just adding two smartphones, or so I thought....
    This happened in Lake Stevens, WA
    Has this happened to anyone else?
    If so, how did you handle it?
    I fear that now we will each be out $50 restocking fee since we will have to return the phones and cancel the plan.
    Is Verizon obligated to uphold the contract that their employees (even managers) mis represent?

    Verizon did the same exact thing to me and my wife as switched from AT&T. 2 separate phone reps from Verizon's sales number assured us the same thing. A third assured me over the phone after we got our phones and were setting them up.
    I was assured several times we would get $25 off our line fee and $25 off our device.
    3 months later when we get our second bill without all the confusing tax and start-up fee's sure enough, no $25 off our devices.
    I asked customer service to review the phone calls with reps and get back with me. The manager told me regardless of what I was told by them and what they listen to they will not give me the credit. So we shall see.
    I will wait until next and send a written claim and request for mediation before either filing a smalls claims action action or seeking counsel on a possible class action suit. I am sure there are many deep pocketed class action firms that would love to take Verizon through the ringer. We are not only talking the $25 a month until the phone is paid off, there is bad faith and punitive's plus if you were grandfathered into an indefinite unlimited data plan how much is worth?

  • Time Machine - This backup is too large (incorrect sizes)

    Good morning.
    I'll start by saying that I've searched for an answer to this problem in these discussion forums and elsewhere on the internet.  I haven't found this exact problem anywhere.  So I apologize if this has been posted and answered already and I'd appreciate just a quick link to the solution if it's out there.  So, with that said...
    Got a Time Machine question I wonder if some of you folks might be able to help me out with.  Here's the deal: I've got two internal hard drives, one 2.0TB and one 240GB (SSD, which I'm using for my boot/application disk).  I back them up to the same external Time Machine drive, a 2.0TB Western Digital.  I've been backing up both drives without a major problem for about six months (aside from an occasional "ran out of space unexpectedly" error, which I was able to fix with help from Pondini and his awesome Time Machine troubleshooting guide).
    In addition to my main backup, I also have a separate 2.0TB Seagate that I keep offsite and bring in to update it every month or so.  I'd just finished running my monthly update to that drive and switched back over to the WD drive.  It refused to pick up where it had left off, which it does sometimes.  So I sighed and reformatted the drive using Disk Utility to the usual Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.  I'm ok with having to start the backup from scratch if need be since I've got a redundant drive.  Unfortunately this time things didn't go quite so smoothly.
    When I went to do the first new backup to the newly formatted WD drive, it sat and spun for about a minute then gave me the following message:
    "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "The Master's Watch".  This backup is too large for the backup disk.  The backup requires 2.00 TB but only 2.00 TB are available."
    Okay, now you know as well as I do that no drive ever reports an exact 2.00TB of space available (on a 2TB drive).  After a fresh reformat, my WD typically reports about 1.92TB of available space.  And the maximum size of the backup (which, again, had been working just fine up until the swap back to the WD drive) would be in the neighborhood of 1.7TB (1.5TB on the internal 2TB and 190GB on the 240GB SSD).  At the most.
    I tried everything I could think of, including every suggestion I could find on Pondini's site.  I re-reformatted, verified all disks involved, repaired permissions, chucked the TM preferences file, even ran some intensive scans on the backup WD using Drive Genius.  Every test I ran came back and said the disk was perfectly fine.
    So... for the moment I'm running temporary backups using Carbon Copy Cloner, which is definitely doing the job, but if possible I really would like to get Time Machine running on this drive again.  I haven't ruled out the possibility that the drive may just need replacing (since it's... 3 and a half years old, I think?).  But if there's anything that I may have missed that may get me up and running again, I'd really appreciate the insight.
    Thanks for taking the time to consider my problem.  Let me know if there's any further details about my system that may help track this issue down.

    I would make this temporary situation part of a permenant plan that excludes TM from any critical duties.
    I know this may not be what you want, (and I hear Pondini breathing over my shoulder), but I offer my opinion only.

  • "This backup is too large for the backup disk"    WHY?

    My iMac has a 2tb internal drive.
    I got a 4th gen 2tb Time Capsule to back it up.
    Problem is I get this message - "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 2.10 TB but only 2.00 TB are available."  WHY?
    My internal drive is using 1.75gb of 2tb. Time Capsule is 4th gen 2tb, firmware up to date.
    2nd Question - can the WAN and/or wifi ports be easily replaced if they are faulty on another Time Capsule?

    Sorry, but that's too small. 
    Since Time Machine keeps copies of things that have been changed or deleted, it needs much more space than the data it's backing-up.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #1.
    Your options are not good.  You can connect a larger USB drive and back up to that instead, but I'm not sure how large a drive the TC can handle.  It would probably need a powered hub, as the USB port is underpowered.
    Or, you could use a different backup app.  CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync might be workable alteratives.
    Problem is I get this message - "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 2.10 TB but only 2.00 TB are available."  WHY?
    It adds "padding" in case the initial estimate is too low, and for workspace on the destination.

  • Pages 5.1 error "This document is too old. To open it, save it with Pages '09 first."

    When trying to open a Pages '08 file from a MacBook Pro in Pages 5.1 on an iMac, I get thr error message, "This document is too old. To open it, save it with Pages '09 first". I cannot locate a Pages '09 to use.  I can export the file from Pages '08 into a Microsoft Word Doc file and can open it then. How I do I solve the problem and open files in Pages 5.1?

    It is A solution that works if you don't have too many Page files to convert, but is very poor solution if trying to move everything off of the MacBook Pro to the iMac.  I don't necessarily need to open the 5 years of files, but if I need to look at something archived, I'm dead in the water.
    It doesn't make sense that a Mac can open a Microsoft product but cannot open a Mac product.  I can understand that a program is not forward compatibale, but almost all programs are backward compatible. This same problem appears with Numbers 3.1.
    Apple needs Microsoft as a solution?

  • "This backup is too large for the backup volume" - Info

    Hi there. I had a problem with my time machine and got an error stating "This backup is too large for the backup volume". I did noticed after logging in that TM was indexing in the upper right corner [magnifier with a flashing dot(spotlight)] for a few seconds. So then I went on to "back up now" and it was preparing and then I got the Error message described above. So I uninstalled my anti-virus (you must disable auto protection/or exclude timemachine.app and its plist file (location below)from Anti-virus preferences in the case you have a anti-virus app, otherwise it will take forever to back up.) though that was not my issue. I then turn off time machine and deleted this .plist file in Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > com.apple.TimeMachine.plist....STOP here if this fixed your problem after restarting. Time machine External Drive in Disk Utility **THESE STEPS WILL ERASE YOUR ENTIRE BACKUPS** ( "Erase" and rename or "partition" to make more that one partition on the External Drive if you wish, and Rename) (Disk utility> Partition tab> "option" you must - guid=intel / apple partition map=PowerPC)...sorry alot of newbie out there...by deleting the "com.apple.TimeMachine.plist" = when you plug in you TM it will ask you if you want to use the drive as a TM back up automatically. This did the trick. But to let you guys know I also used Cocktail (app) and used a feature it has to erase my computers spotlight index and rebuild it. Also in Cocktail, when you have your time machine plugged in you can erase its index and disable it all together. I recommend you first disable spotlight (before the first initial TM backup) in system preferences > spotlight> Privacy (tab) and plus to add time machine ...which has to be mounted (plugged in) to add from window under "Devices".

  • Error: "This backup is too large for the backup volume."

    Well TM is acting up. I get an error that reads:
    "This backup is too large for the backup volume."
    Both the internal boot disk and the external baclup drive are 1TB. The internal one has a two partitions, the OSX one that is 900GBs and a 32GB NTFS one for Boot Camp.
    The external drive is a single OSX Extended part. that is 932GBs.
    Both the Time Machine disk, and the Boot Camp disk are excluded from the backup along with a "Crap" folder for temporary large files as well as the EyeTV temp folder.
    Time Machine says it needs 938GBs to backup only the OSX disk, which has 806GBs in use with the rest free. WTFFF? The TM pane says that "only" 782GBs are going to be backed up. Where did the 938GBs figure come from?
    This happened after moving a large folder (128GB in total) from the root of the OSX disk over to my Home Folder.
    I have reformated the Time Machine drive and have no backups at all of my data and it refuses to backup!!
    Why would it need 938GBs of space to backup if the disk has "only" 806 GBs in use??? Is there anyway to reset Time Machine completely???

    TM makes an initial "estimate" of how much space it needs, "including padding", that is often quite high. Why that is, and Just exactly what it means by "padding" are rather mysterious. But it does also need work space on any drive, including your TM drive.
    But beyond that, your TM disk really is too small for what you're backing-up. The general "rule of thumb" is it should be 2-3 times the size of what it's backing-up, but it really depends on how you use your Mac. If you frequently update lots of large files, even 3 times may not be enough. If you're a light user, you might get by with 1.5 times. But that's about the lower limit.
    Note that although it does skip a few system caches, work files, etc., by default it backs up everything else, and does not do any compression.
    All this is because TM is designed to manage it's backups and space for you. Once it's initial, full backup is done, it will by default then back-up any changes hourly. It only keeps those hourly backups for 24 hours, but converts the first of the day to a "daily" backup, which it keeps for a month. After a month, it converts one per week into a "weekly" backup that it will keep for as long as it has room
    What you're up against is, room for those 30 dailies and up to 24 hourlies.
    You might be able to get it to work, sort of, temporarily, by excluding something large, like your home folder, until that first full backup completes, then remove the exclusion for the next run. But pretty soon, it will begin to fail again, and you'll have to delete backups manually (from the TM interface, not via the Finder).
    Longer term, you need a bigger disk; or exclude some large items (back-them up to a portable external or even DVD/RWs first); or a different strategy.
    You might want to investigate CarbonCopyCloner, SuperDuper!, and other apps that can be used to make bootable "clones". Their advantage, beyond needing less room, is when your HD fails, you can immediately boot and run from the clone, rather than waiting to restore from TM to your repaired or replaced HD.
    Their disadvantages are, you don't have the previous versions of changed or deleted files, and because of the way they work, their "incremental" backups of changed items take much longer and far more CPU.
    Many of us use both a "clone" (I use CCC) and TM. On my small (roughly 30 gb) system, the difference is dramatic: I rarely notice TM's hourly backups -- they usually run under 30 seconds; CCC takes at least 15 minutes and most of my CPU.

  • This backup is too large for the backup volume - ridiculous Size!!!

    Hi .. i own a macbook 13" aluminium, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.2 , and i change my internal hard drive to a 500Gb.
    I bought 1Tb Western Digital My Book USB External Drive to use it for back ups using Time machine.. at the beginning worked great, when i changed my hard drive i restore everything in lest than 2 hours.
    Then one time, it said that the hard drive where going out of space, and i said to delete the oldest backups, it erase everything and kept the last back up. Since then, it came a message
    *_+This backup is too large for the backup volume. The backup requires 2.73EB but only 995 Gb are available.*+_
    its ridiculous, when i go to the time machine preference, it said that the full size back up it would take 83Gb only.
    I tried everything, formatting the unit, taking out the partition , and making it out again, it makes the first full back up, but then the same message...
    Please anyone... i am desperate
    Thanks Again

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    That message seems to indicate that something is corrupted on your internal HD. Do a +*Verify Disk+* on it, per #A5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    If that finds errors, you'll have to use the procedure in the yellow box there to Repair them.
    If that does not find errors, Restart your Mac and do a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 there.
    I tried everything, formatting the unit, taking out the partition , and making it out again, it makes the first full back up, but then the same message...
    What partition? Are there multiple partitions on your TM drive? How large is the one for Time Machine? Check the setup per #C1 of the Troubleshooting Tip.

  • This backup is too large for the backup disk

    I have a 1TB time capsule used to backup two MacBooks. One backup file is 817GB (MacBook 1) and the other one is 137GB (MacBook 2).
    I get an error message when running the backup on MacBook 2. It says "Time Machine could not complete the backup. This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 55.64GB but only 42.98GB are available"
    I always though the TimeCapsule would automatically remove older backupos to make space and you would never run into such an issue.
    Please not that my MacBook 1 was stolen a while ago so I do not know how to reduce the size of the larger backup.

    Usually that's true, but not always. One exception is, Time Machine will delete the oldest backups of the Mac it's running on, but not any other Mac's backups. That's probably what you've run up against here.

    First, connect to the TC via Ethernet.
    If you want to delete all the backups from MacBook 1, double-click your Time Capsule via the Finder, then you should see two +sparse bundles,+ one for each Mac. Delete the one for the old Mac. That will take a long time, even via Ethernet. If it's taking extremely long, see the blue box in #Q5 of [Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/TimeCapsule.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    Or, you can delete individual backups of the other Mac. To see them, you'll need the +*Browse Other Time Machine Disks+* option, per #17 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). To delete individual backups, see #12 in the FAQ, and don't miss the pink box there.
