MY TC tell me it needs to clean up old back-ups.

Hi Everyone,
Since a couple of days my TC tell me it needs to clean up old backups to create space. Which is odd since I still have 1,4 TB left of the 2 TB to start with. There are 2 sparsebundles, 1 for my Pro (150GB) and one for my Mini (350GB).

I would erase and start over.. make sure the two computers have different network names. This problem can arise if you migrated settings from one computer to another when you got the Pro.
Take a screen shot.. Command+Shift+4 gives you a rubber band selection of area.
Click the little camera icon above.. select your picture which will land on the desktop with the current date and time.. so ..
I took a snap of the dialogue box to insert a picture. Shown above.. the picture is on the desktop so I select it.
Then insert the image.
So you now have an image of taking an image to post.. this is feeling like those halls of mirrors.

HT5262 If I have an IPad and an I Phone 4S do I need to have both do back ups? They both sync with each other. My ICloud space is running low and it loos as if my phone is the one using the most storage. Do I need to back it up or if my phone?

I am running out of ICloud storage space of 5 KB. It looks as if my phone is the one that is using more space. If all my info links to both do I need to back up the phone?

Set up as new, since it newer has been connected to iTunes. Your iPhone will remain on iTunes. I have 4 different devices on my iTunes with no problems.
And regarding the sync - it will sync whatever you tell it to sync on iTunes.

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

Can not view images of Patents (i.e., D/359,691) on USPTO.gov Patent search, it tells me I need a plugin (Quicktime 7.7.1.0) which I updated already.

Can not view images of Patents (i.e., D/359,691) on USPTO.gov Patent search, it tells me I need a plugin (Quicktime) which I updated already.
In the "Quick Search" I give terms & it compiles a list. I then go through to each doc and look to view the doc and associated drawings. I'm not sure what else to say at this juncture.
Thanks.

Wonderful, not only did I get the issue resolved, but I got some good tools in the process.
Thank you so much for your insight and assistance.

HT4623 I just bought an ipad form a friend. It says its up to date with iOS 5.1.1, but when I try to download apps it tells me I need to update to iOS 6.0 or newer but it wont let me

My friend just sold me her ipad she got Jan 2013. The software says its up to date with iOS5.1.1, but when i try to download certain app it tells me I need to update to iOS6.0 or later but when i go to the setting there are no updates. so how do I add these apps? The person i bought it from doesnt know what generation becuase it was a present to her.

The way you download older apps for the older, original iPad 1, as I understand it, is if you have iTunes installed on a computer, you purchase / download the new, current app, in the iOS App Store in iTunes on your computer. Then, go back to your iPad and go to the App Store app on your iPad and find the same app there and download it.
When You select app to update/download, a message pop-up window appears asking if you want to download the last compatible version for your device (if one still exists ) tap OK and that should be it.

I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them. Please help! On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

My ISP tells me I need to I need to change the port to send/receive e-mails, but I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I proceed without the password?

My ISP tells me I need to change the port to send/receive mail, as the current port is going to be disabled for security reasons. But I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I add an account when I don't remember my password? It's been several years.

your email password is with your ISP so they can help. but if it is saved in the email app you can just change the ports in the preferneces without a password.

10.6.3. of what? What is telling you this?
What preceded this? Were you attempting to update the phone to iOS 6? It can take quite a while.
If the phone is running iOS 6, that requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 on a Mac. Maybe that's what you're seeing...
You really need to give us more information.

I have a 4th gen. ipod touch. It has software 4.2.1 and itunes always tells me I need to update to ios 6. I always click download and install. After the download is complete, nothing happens. It doesn't install on its own. Thanks,

Are you sure it is a 4G iPod? Does it have a camera?

How can I download apps on my old ipod touch? It tells me I need iPhone3.0 software, but iTunes tells me I have the latest available (software 2.2.1) for my iPod.

So I assume that the original modem stays installed with the coaxial cable and the Exrtreme is in addition to that.
Yes, that is correct.
Did you have the instructions that came with your Airport Extreme? Are you sure you have it setup properly? Here is the setup guide:

Ensure you have everything setup properly. Once you do this and if you are still having trouble, follow Star's instructions.

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically. I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive. will that delete the windows partition too??

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto. I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system. My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too. If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating sys

I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating system. I do not have a back up of all my applications, my garageband music and other things. I also do not have time capsule set up on this machine, but I do have a 2 TB time capsule.
Is there anyway to back up this corrupted drive so I can restore my applications later?

There's an old saying. If you don't have a backup disc, then there must be nothing important to backup. That's just lesson #1. Lesson #2 is to never interrupt a software update. Not a good thing.
OK, I'm sure you know this. It just upsets me to read your story, knowing you have a lot of important stuff on your hard drive, and didn't use time machine.
You're pretty much in a bad place. My only hope for you is to boot to your Installation Disc, then using disk utility see if you can save the internal hard drive (by fixing what can be fixed). You might be able to see your user folder and some of your apps. I wouldn't even consider copying the library, because who knows what's been corrupted in there.
Good luck.

MY TC tell me it needs to clean up old back-ups.
