My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same. Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

It may be in the process of making room. What version of OSX are you on? (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network; Lion has improved it greatly.)
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. That should help you figure out what's going on. If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?

Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?
I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.
I spent hours working on this, so please let me know what the hell happened and how I can make sure it never happens again...
also--why would CS6 come with such a devastating feature?!?! Who came up with this???

Welcome to the forum.
I did not see any reference to Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Did you use one of those?
Good luck,

Simple question, does TM delete oldest files to make room for the newest?

"Time machine could not complete the backup. This backup is too large for the backup disk." (requires 12.37 Gb, only 7.34 available)
On the 500Gb TC, why can't it delete 12.37 and continue?
It was working fine, using TM for three systems, 2 MBAir, 1 MMini.
Nothing was changed.

If the backup were bigger than the TC, that seems to be the only thing TM/TC can't handle. True?

I'm taking this Q down because I know the answer is true, so I've stated the wrong Q.

I've deleted all my emails and texts to make room for the 7.1 upgrade but my usage still says I'm using 641MB for mail and 364 MB for messages. Anyone know how to free up this memory? Thank you.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Thanks; starting FireFox in safe mode and disabling all add-ons did solve the problem; however, a new problem has emerged. To re-enable the add-ons, you need to open up and use the add-ons control panel through FireFox. Any attempt to do so causes the FireFox add-on control page to close immediately.
Thanks for your help.

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

my my wife has also identical IPad using the same user name and ID and she is not experiencing any similar problems
could you please help

Try rebooting your modem.
Unplug both your modem and your wireless router.
Plug modem back in and wait a good 3 minutes for modem to completely boot up.
Then plug your wireless router back in and wait another 2 minute for that to boot up.
Then turn iPad off and back on.
Make sure you and you wife are on the same network
Hope it works.

Why are RAW image thumbnails not being rendered?

OK. I am not sure that I used the right terminology, but I have noticed that Bridge is no longer rendering (? proper term) the Canon Raw image thumbnails properly in Bridge CS6.
I shoot RAW and Small JPEGs. I copy the folder of images onto my external hard from my camera and open Bridge. I see thumbnails of both the RAW and JPEGs with a black border around each image. As Bridge reads each image, the black border disappears from each JPEG thumbnail, but not from the RAW thumbnail like it used to do.
When I click the raw thumbnail once, I get the larger RAW preview image. When I click the larger image and get the loop, the RAW thumbnail then renders and either the black border disappears from the thumbnail or the corrections made in bridge become visible in the thumbnail.
When the loop is on the larger preview image, the image in the loop enlarges automatically to 200% and I have to take the time to scale it back to read the image selection at 100%.
When I do a batch edit of many RAW images in Bridge, I can click done and the small slider in a circle icon appears above the RAW thumbnail, but the thumbnail is not rendered to reflect the correctiuons made to the image.
This was never an issue before. Bridge was great in reading RAW images at all stages and now it's not.

Have you selected Prefer Embedded previews from the toolbar, or is it set to High Quality on Demand, or Always High Quality?
Have you tried selecting the containing folder, right-clicking and clicking "purge cache for selection"?
It sounds like you are having problems with the cache. Depending on the number of images you have and the speed of your computer, it might be worth purging the entire cache, but this should be a last resort.

Why are my email alerts not being sent?

My SP 2010 server is also the SMTP server and it works. I can drop the email.txt file in the pickfolder and that gets squirted out as expected, and successfully received at the other end.
But I simply can’t get email alerts from sharepoint to work.
I’ve configured outgoing email settings in Central Admin and for the server name, have tried using the machine name, the FQDN for the server (part of a domain) and ip address. All no success.
I also made sure the out going email settings in the General settings of the Web application are correct.
The AD users all have correct email addresses and the profiles and AD records match.
Alerts are allowed, have been set for discussion changes and show up under Manage my alerts but when I make a discussion entry or reply, nothing happens.
Firewall is disabled and no AV software.
What else can I dig into?

I recently purchased a new macbook and am having trouble syncing my iPhone with the iTunes. It won't allow me to delete any of the music on my phone, so I am unable to make room for the new software upgrade. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Does anyone know how to enable editing on a new computer? I only have an 8gb phone and over 4gbs of music, half of which I don't even listen to anymore. I really want it off my phone, but when I plugged it into my new macbook nothing would delete. My old computer barely turns on so I can't even plug it into the old one to delete anything. I hit the sync button on the new computer and that didn't help either. I'd really like to upgrade to the new software but don't have the room on my phone until this music/a few apps are deleted. Any help would be appreciated!!

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

Why are certain playlists in itunes being deleted when i update itunes?

Can these playlists be restored from a back-up?

I use master page elements all the time and my contents pages do have a text frame on the Master page, so perhaps it is such a master page element. I'm used to working with master page elements that you need to Ctrl-click on so you can edit the content - for my page titles for instance - and smart text reflow is on (Add to end of story).
When I click on the overset text icon on the text frame I am in text mode (t) but I use Ctrl to click the overset text, which gives me the reflow icon. It's only the first supplementary page I have to create, thereafter iD creates all the remaining pages (there are 14 pages of contents in one of the books, the main one I'm experimenting on).

Why are my RAW images not being read, showing up as black rectangles?

I installed the newest version of iPhoto because the RAW images were not readable. And after doing a little research, I needed to upgrade. Now, it is acting like it can see them, but they are black rectangles. Except the first one, of like 300, the bottom half of the photo is there, but the top half is blacked out.
