Still not sure about backing up, still not sure about backing up

Still not sure about backing up if apple provides a new i pad because battery has gone west. you must back your ipad info to something else, like your pc
as you cannot get to backed up material if you have sent it to apple, can you transfer that backup on ipad to the pc???

Not unless you're using the iCloud and you have a backup in iCloud and you're using a mac signed into iCloud or you have the iCloud control panel installed on your pc.
Or by chance you had a backup in iTunes.
If you can open iTunes you can check to see if your backup is there.
Click on Edit>go to Preferences> click on Devices, check for the device backups in the box. If they're not there, you can check to see if your information was in icloud by accessing it at www.icloud.com.

HT5621 I changed my Apple ID but on my iPhone when I go into settings iCloud it still shows the old Apple ID. How do I change this? I was going to delete the iCloud account from my phone then add it back with the new Apple ID, but I'm not sure...help!

I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be? I sent it via FedEx.

I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. However, my boyfriend sent in his the same time I did and his repair status says repair being diagnosed. I still have the "receipt" of the package when they first sent it to me. I sent it via FedEx. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be or maybe find out if I can still get a replacement even though my nano might be lost in transit?

I sent it via FedEx.
Call FedEx. They will be able to track their own packages. They will let you know if your iPod Nano was delivered and to who!

I upgraded my Firefox and my home page (which I love) is GONE. Not sure how to get it back. I still have my bookmarks though. Thanks in advance for helping me.

HI ive been phonless since night and im really worried, wondering if anyone can give me some advice! so yesterday my iphone 4 running on 5.1 battery died on me completely,so i placed it to charge and walked off and when i came back about 3 hrs later it was still not charging. The entire night i tried to reboot it and nothing works! itunes wont even recognize it on my mac!:(please help!

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

I dropped my macbook pro 17" from about 4 feet from my shelf onto a hard floor and it dinged the corner pretty bad, but it still works OK. a year back also it fell of from 1ft height but that time there was not any dent.

I dropped my macbook pro 17" from about 4 feet from my shelf onto a hard floor and it dinged the corner pretty bad, but it still works OK. a year back also it fell of from 1ft height but that time there was not any dent. my worry is will it give any prop in future or its just a cosmetic issue but in performance it wont give any problems. it happened an hr back & i am very upset for this misshandling.

I dropped a MBP and dented that same corner, though it wasn't one of the unibody MBPs:
It worked flawlessly for a month, then suddenly died. I put it to sleep one day, then 5 minutes later remembered something I had forgotten to do, opened it back up... and nothing. It never worked again. Repairs would have been well over $1,000, and would not have been covered by the warranty or by AppleCare (if I had bought it). I opted to just buy a new Mac instead.
Now, just because that happened to me does not mean that's what will happen to you. However, you do need to prepare yourself for that possibility.

Yes i send in a question about my ipad not coming on got anwear back but still isnt work,has been plug in but well not come on at all nothing .tryed to reset that dosent work,what else can i do ,help needed thank you

i sent in a question yesterday about my ipad not coming on ,got a anwear back to try and it still dosent come on it had been plug in ,also tryed diff plug still nothing only had it 6 months
thank you hope you can help

I was in the exact same situation. I completed the order online, waited five days, and eventually called them back to be told that my order was still processing. I told them to cancel it, and I would retry. I ordered it again the next week, and it all happened again. They offered to escalate it and have it processed manually, but it could take another 48 hours. I told them to forget it.
The next week, I activated a single line on my own account. It worked flawlessly. I ordered around 4:00 PM, and it showed up around 4:00 PM the next day. The difference was that I activated a single line on a new account, as opposed to activating another line on another account.
It was a headache, and believe me, I know how you feel. Verizon representatives are more of a headache than they are actual help. Their hands are always tied, and everything has to be escalated.

FF4 eliminated homepage. Re-updated 3.6.16, still have no homepage; so no email, etc--everything's gone. How do I get it back? If I set up new homepage, what about all the email? Am not computer savvy, can anyone help a computer nerd?

When Firefox is opened, my home page is blank. Bookmarks are still there, & all seem to work except 'myyahoo', which is my home page. Screen is blank below toolbar, etc. Cannot get 'myyahoo' to come up. According to many other questions I read, everyone had some kind of trouble when they updated to Firefox 4; restoring to 3.6.16 seemed to solve the majority of those problems. It did not help me.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

HT1386 Hi, about a week ago my Iphone 3 was stolen! I am not sure how they got it but they did. I still have the box and the receipt but my iphone was not registered with a phone company so what do I do.

I just bought the iphone from a friend and he gave me the box and all. I brought it home and the next week i went to school and it was stolen out of my locker. What can I do to get it back.

My Aperture 2.1 has gone into a continual thumbnail mode. I left the computer, a MacBook Pro, run all night, about 12 hours and it is still making thumbnails. I tried reloading Aperture 2.1, but that did not change anything. I have also turned the system off, for a period of time, and then turning it back on, when I click on Aperture, it comes up and locks in the thumbnail mode. I can view my stored pictures, even modify them, but it still says thumbnails.
I got in this mode by trying to import "one jpeg photo", from a scanned slide using a Nikon Scan4 IS5000ED scanner. I had saved the scan to my desktop before I tried to import it.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

HT4759 my phone is not backing up automatically on icloud like it says it is, I even tried to do it manually.I bought extra storage and It is still saying i have no room on the phone. I tried to back up to I cloud with extra stroage I have 13.mg left stil

I know it saounds crazy maybe but I dont know much about this kind of thing.. I dont know how to get the storage fixed. I purchased the extra storage on Icloud a while back and it still isnt backing up like it says it is.. I took alot of apps off that i use even. I wanted to try to get more storage for the 7.1 and it says to manage storage so I deleted apps and it still didnt work so I looked to see if it has backed up anything. It says it did but the storage in Iclous was the same as it was two montths ago. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am sure it is simple and I am over looking it.

Hello reneep44,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
These two articles explain what iCloud backs up and how to manage the storage.
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article Which types of items can I buy in my country?.

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

Photorec - not sure if stuck or still doing something

Hi!
I'm trying to recover files from a ~8GB thumb drive (or sd cards? not sure.) image I dumped to disk a few years ago. Because I don't remember what exactly I was trying to rescue there, I started photorec with just about everything enabled (including brute force), set to the "fat32/fat16/ntfs" mode and selected - among other things - the "find deleted partition" mode on the whole image even though there's also a working partition on it (figured I'd try the whole / raw file first, partition later).
It's been running for ~2 days now @100% CPU (one core only) but barely takes up any RAM / Disk-IO at all. There are a hand full of "recup / inode" directories + recovered files in the recovery directory + xml files, but all of that has not changed since the very beginning. The tty still looks like this:
PhotoRec 6.14, Data Recovery Utility, July 2013
Christophe GRENIER <[email protected]>
http://www.cgsecurity.org
Disk /home/user/Desktop/stick.raw.image - 7948 MB / 7580 MiB (RO)
Partition Start End Size in sectors
No partition 0 0 1 966 80 10 15523840 [Whole disk]
Stop
... and nothing is moving / changing.
Now... I'm not sure if it's still doing anything or if I should try to "Stop" / kill it. Also not sure if I can safely attach strace or gdb or something without disturbing the running process and loosing (potential) progress. No idea how photorec is supposed to look/act - and if this is normal.
So - is there anything I should be aware of before I decide how long I'll let it run (or stay frozen) like this?

Thanks!
Those change constantly:
< nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches: 8151747
> nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches: 8152751
everything else in io + status:
cat /proc/26077/io /proc/26077/status | grep -v nonvol >| /tmp/proc1 && while true; do; cat /proc/26077/io /proc/26077/status | grep -v nonvol >| /tmp/proc2 && date +%T; diff -s /tmp/proc? || cat /proc/26077/io /proc/26077/status | grep -v nonvol >| /tmp/proc1; sleep 60; done;
14:33:56
Files /tmp/proc1 and /tmp/proc2 are identical
.. has been identical for an hour or so unless I did something wrong with that oneliner.
Not sure what htop should tell me except that the process is using 4GB of ram. I've also been keeping an eye on conky for a while now - I think that photorec periodically stops using 100% of one core and starts using 10% of all 6 cores instead... but this forth and back could probably just be the kernel trying to optimize cpu usage depending on what else I do? Photorec leads my conky CPU top5 most of the time and also is holding its spot between firefox + Xorg in the top5 for memory usage.
According to iotop, the PID is - maybe - writing to disk very slowly ("actual disk write") (it "flickers" to ~200K/s every few seconds and then goes back to 0). No reading, also for some reason "total disk write" also stays at 0. I haven't seen photorec pop up in my (always visible) "top 5 IO" from conky since I started it (most of the time that's "sleep, sleep, another sleep and 2 kworkers" with a total of 0), so I might just be using iotop wrong here.
strace - when attached to the PID - says nothing at all (except for the debug output which I don't understand. Haven't used strace often except to monitor file access, maybe I'm doing it wrong).
sudo strace -ff -d -p 26077
new tcb for pid 26077, active tcbs:1
ptrace_setoptions = 0x1f
attach to pid 26077 succeeded
Process 26077 attached
[wait(0x80057f) = 26077] WIFSTOPPED,sig=SIGTRAP,EVENT_STOP (128)
pid 26077 has TCB_STARTUP, initializing it
^Ccleanup: looking at pid 26077
detach wait: event:128 sig:5
Process 26077 detached
dropped tcb for pid 26077, 0 remain
I don't know if that means:
(a) That it's definitely stuck
(b) That it's still doing some sort of bute-force / expensive algorithms on those 4GB of data it has in RAM - without (currently) finding anything useful though that could change any second (or never)?
