Weird behaviour - TC not backing up any more
Just spotted that my TC isn't backing up any more. It just wasn't connecting wirelessly. I repaired permissions, and rebooted the machine to see if that would help.
Now it gets as far as 'Calculating changes' - which I thought was a good sign, but it doesn't get any further due to a Network Problem.
The weird part is that in its preferences, its reporting the last back up was on Jan 27. But I'm sure I've used it only in the last week or so. (I do web design, so quite often use TC to grab an older version of a HTML or image file).
The TC has a green light, so seems OK. It doesn't show up in Airport Utility though - although I have a feeling it rarely did, even when it all seemed to be working OK.
What other trouble shooting should I do? I guess maybe reboot the TC and try connecting wired in the first instance...

Time capsule will not back up any more
My Time Capsule will not back up anymore. I have a message stating there is not enough storage room. I have the setting to delete the oldest backup to make room for the newest backup. Any suggestions?
When you upgrade the OS, it produces massive backups. Mavericks in particular has produced all kinds of issues for people.
You have several choices..
1. If nothing in the backup is important to you.. erase the TC and start over. That is the easiest.
2. If you want to keep the old backups then archive the existing sparsebundle to USB drive plugged into the TC.
Then erase the disk and start over. That is good way as once TM has established its routine.. and you are certain nothing in the old backups is needed you can wipe the USB.. after 6months or 1year or whatever.
3. Plug the USB into the TC and use that as the target and start a new TM backup.
4. Plug the USB into the computer and use that as the target for TM.
5. Delete older backups in the sparsebundle yourself. I place this last, as it is the worst option IMHO.

If my MAC book pro is not under warranty any more can i still send it back to apple to get it repaired
Yes, but you should consider this.
A: Laptops usually last only about 4 years.
So if you take your investment into the machine + add any software that can't be transferred to a new machine and divide that by 4, you'll get the per year value.
Take that and estimate how many years of value you have left, then judge if the repair is going to be worth getting that remaining few years left or not.
For instance if you have $2800 invested in a machine, that's $700 a year and it's 3 years old, that means it's likely to have only $700 of value left, so it makes little sense to spend a lot to get that remaining $700. Sell it for parts and apply the funds to a new machine.
I suspect you upgraded a older machine to 10.7 and it likely killed it.

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.
Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1) When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2) I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3) So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. -
iTunes gives me an error and asks for re-installation, the error is "The procedure entry point CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes could not be located in the dynamic link library coreMedia.dll", and the iTunes can not be lunched any more.
can you please help, as I also tried to re-install it but prEntry point errors can often be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of. CoreMedia.dll is part of Apple Application Support.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Unfortunately, if the drive has failed, there isn't going to be an easy way to retrieve the data. It's possible that a data recovery service could help.

Now I can start LR 5 and I can watch/modify pictures, but as soon as I try to import new pictures LR 5 stops and gives the message "your LR 5 64-bit does not work correctly - searching for solution". I have not changed anything in my computer since lasttime LR 5 worked properly, only the registry was optimized by Norton 360.

I will like to free download that are in my account beacause It takes to long to download and I do not want them any more. How I delete them. Thanks
Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.

Hello after the installation of new software iso 6.0 I can not find youtube any more. Where is it now? Thank you.
The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google), or try accessing it via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

I'm receiving this error message about my Time Capsule:
"The backup disk image '/Volumes/Data/my name's iMAC.sparesebundle" is already in use. The time capsule is not backing up any files.1. Open the Sharing preference pane and check that the computer name hasn't changed without your knowledge. For example, if the name was "X's iMac," it might now be "X's iMac (2)". In that case, restore the original name. You may have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane to unlock the settings. Test. If there's no improvement, or if the name had not been changed, continue.
2. If you're backing up to a Time Capsule, or an AirDisk attached to a 2013 or later model AirPort Extreme base station, restart it in either of the following ways:
☞ Disconnect and reconnect the power adapter.
☞ Select the device in the AirPort Utility application and then select
Base Station ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
If AirPort Utility notifies you of a firmware update, install it. -

Dear all,
Since wednesday morning the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of my iPhone 4S have not been wirking any more. They appear as "unactive". I restored the system, updated it to 7.0.4., but nothing changed. Can anyone please help me?Last night I wiped the phone and did a complete restore. Lo and behold the wifi was working again after the restore finished. GREAT. 30 minutes later went to look at the phone and no wifi again, great!
So if my wifi chip coincidentally fried itself during the update, I supposed it coincidentally unfried itself during the restore, only to fry itself again later. Clever chips these.
