I haven't made a backup of this ever. Didn't really know how and honestly I didn't expect this kind of crap from a Mac.
I have had very reliable Macs.... one 11 year old one still gets used every day. But things happen...even to trusty Macs. Before I got DiskWarrior I had directory corruption so bad I lost eveything on the drive. It took me three months to re-enter all my Investment transactions from paper copies after an erase. DiskWarrior has always saved me since. But I learned to do the following so it would never happen again.
I like the free demo of SuperDuperto make clone backups. It's free, Leopard and Snow ready and is easy to use. If you buy the full version you can do incremental backups.
You should use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair booted up on your install disk, before you make a clone of it. DiskWarrior is way better to use.
I then partition my external disk, in Disk Utility, with a partition that is the same size , actually a tad bigger, as my system disk. I then use SuperDuper to clone my system disk over to that partition.
With a clone on an external FireWire drive (USB drives are not bootable on PPC Macs but are on some Intel Macs) you can bootup on it to do your repairs or just run your Mac anytime you have trouble with your main drive. Be careful, there are a few external FireWire drives out there that are not bootable on PPC Macs. Check the drive's manual to be sure.

Updated to v4.5 now phone not working, red light blinking
K...so I updated to the new software v4.5 on my 8320 curve and now it is not booting up and the red light is blinking twice every few seconds. I have already removed the battery and done everything that I can think of without using JML because I don't want to lose my info....please help...thanks.
I fixed my problem. I found this on the tmobile support site, and it worked after the second try.
Handheld does not turn on and the light flashes
Ensure the handheld is NOT connected to the computer.
In BlackBerry Desktop Manager, open Application Loader and Update Applications.
Remove the battery in the handheld.
Reconnect the handheld to the computer
When the Drop-down list on the Communication Port Selection window changes to USBIN, click Next.Note: If there is no USB option in the drop-down disconnect the device, remove the battery and re-connect the device without the battery.
If the Handheld Password Required dialog box appears, type your password. The Application loader will detect the BlackBerry device.
Proceed with running Application Loader. Allow the Application Loader process to complete; this can take 30 - 45 minutes.Note: If the battery was removed during step 5, make sure it is re-inserted when the Application Loader comes to the Wait For Device Initialization stage.
Do not disconnect the device from the computer until you receive a message your PC, “The loading operation was successful.” -

After i updated it, i got a message that my iphone could not be activated and to try to connect to itunes which i did, but i got a message that my phone has no sim card. Even with a sim card inside, my phone says that there's "No service." What happened? Help!!!
Yes, I tried. But nothing is working. I am feeling bad as such a costly phone stop working in 1.4 year ?
I am just sharing my experience.
I am not ranting but yes angry as I am eligible for upgrade in Nov 2012 so don't want to pay $149 for replacement as I can upgrade to iPhone 5.
Apple expert please help me how can I fix it. It's completely software issue. -
Hi,
For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
Thanks in advance for any help,Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational. Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone. Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.

i put my 3g i phone on charge with usb cable there was a message for updating i click on that my phone stop working even i could not fix with online troubleshoot
Where is the phone number on the iPod?
If you have an iPhone with iOS and use the same ID for Messages and FaceTime as on the iPod the iPhone's phone number will be listed for Messages and FaceTime on the iPod.
If you changed phone numbers on the iPhone, sign out of Messages and FaceTime and then sing back in. Then do the same a little while later on the iPod.
For some info see:
iOS: About Messages -
i recently got my battery replaced in the 3GS and tried to update software and restore but phone is now stuck in recover mode. Please help
If it wasn't Apple who replaced the battery, then you've voided your warranty. Bring it back to whomever replaced the battery and tell them they probably broke your phone.

Hello rblacktx,
If you changed your Apple ID (which is an email address), then you should be able to sign out of your iTunes Store account and sign back in with the updated information. Take a look at the resources below:

I Have Iphone 4 IOS ios 7.0.3 half update than internet down my phone no working
I Have Iphone 4 IOS ios 7.0.3 half update than internet down my phone no working what to do ?
I have the same issue. The iphone4 is stuck in the Apple logo, makes two vibrations, then goes all screen off, then a beep. And it starts again. I am having this issue for almost a day. Battery dies and I recharge, and does the same thing. I cannot complete the update and I do not have access to my iphone4. I connected to my iMac and iTunes detected my phone updated with 7.0.3, and even completes a sync. However the phone keeps on the apple logo screen and then goes black again.
I was reading some posting here and I did a ¨Recovery¨combination: Hold the home button and the Wake/sleep button at the same time for 30 seconds and then the iPhone 4 entered in Recovery mode. It is now erasing my phone content and downloading the 7.0.3 in iTunes, it says will take 33 minutes to iPhone Software Upgrade. The screen on my iPhone4 is now showing the iTunes app logo and the connector. Seems I need to recover everything again.
Hope someone has a short answer and a better solution for you before entering into Recovery mode.
Good luck! -
what a nightmare,no phone for 3 days and no sign of any positive help from apple.done backup and restore as wifi on phone stopped working,error code 1 and now phone doesnt work at all,apple say other people having problem but havent heard of anyone else,really disappointed in way apple are keeping me hanging on,phone is only 4 mths old
My iphone is only 6 months old and I am experiencing the same problems. I have already had to have the phone swapped once with a phone that has a blown speaker. (The apple store is 2.5hours away so I havent been able to go back to replace the replacement) Since I did the ios 5 update, my phone says NO SERVICE and drops calls. It was speratic but last night, same ERROR message as you. As you know, if forces you to restore which caused me to loose valuable information and documents. insert loud profanity here _________. lol
