What does the Backup warning logo mean?

My Backup window has four plans, two of which seem to work:-
Home Folder > Macintoch HD
Personal Data & Settings > iDisk
but
Untitled > iDisk has a red exlamation mark and "failed" message
while
Untitled 2 > USB_Pluscom (an external storage thingy) has a yellow triangle exclamation mark for "warnings during backup".
I don't know what to do. Is Backup the same thing as "Newton Backup Utility" which seems to be on my computer?

Ok, so you need more space in order to fit the backup.
Personally I use TimeMachine, it automatically deletes older backups when the target device runs out of space.
Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with iDisk to assist here.
In finder under devices you should see something similair to "macbook", when selecting this a Startup Volume will be listed to the right of Finder - this could be any name and will be the Hard Disk where your OS is installed (from your original post this seems to be Macintoch HD), first figure out which disks are which before deleting anything.
Like I said not familiar with iDisk at all.

    Open AirPort Utility, the application that you used to configure the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup.
    Click directly on the word "Status" (2nd line) and a window will open to tell you why the Express is complaining. What is the message?
    It might be a notification that an update is available for your Express.

    It's just a status message, albeit a misleading one, and can be ignored.

  • What does the message "No Editor " mean ?

    What does the message "No Editor" mean?

    Okay - the message means that the system knows of no editor (program) to use to view these files.
    Since I gather you recently upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopare (you might want to update your profile), I am guessing these movies are in the file format for a program that no longer runs on Mavericks (or is not installed).
    It is possible that you can change the "kind" ie. the file format extension, to one that the system recognizes, and have it open these files with another program.  You will have to experiment to see what works.

  • HP Media Center model numbers, what does the letters and numbers mean?

    Does anyone know what the model numbers of the HP Media Center Computers mean?  What does the 'm' at the beginning of the model number mean and what does the 'n' at the end mean?  How do they come up with the numbers and do they have any special significance? I have a HP Media Center m7658n.  I am looking for a motherboard to replace my original but the clostest one I can find is a HP PAVILION MEDIA CENTER M7480CH-A M7560A MOTHERBOARD.  Does the 7560 mean it's of lesser quality than the original and what is the difference between the 'a' and the 'n' at the end of the model number? 

    paullevy,
    Can I ask why you want a replacement board?
    The "m" means Media Center. The "n" denotes US and Canada.   In the 7560, the "a" is New Zealand.
    Your board is a Leucite,   Specs here   googled
    If you were to purchase the wrong board, your OEM Windows will cease to be 'activated'.

  • What does the yellow warning triangle on my purple event icon mean?

    what does it mean and how do i remove it?

    As Tom mentioned, this is an indicator that something isn't linked correctly. A file may be missing while you may be playing back a rendered version of a file, you won'y be able to make changes to it without relinking it.
    The way to eliminate the warning is to select your event, then select File > Relink Event Files. Select Missing and relink to the file(s) you need. This will remove the warning icon until another link can't be located by FCPx.

  • What does the yellow "other" category mean when syncing my iPhone

    i am trying to sync my iPhone with my itunes on my computer.  there is not enough space to sync my iphone.  i know i can limit the amount of music i sync but i don't understand what the yellow "other" category means and it is taking up a lot of space.  please help if you know what that means

    It represents something that iTunes doesn't recognize as music, videos, books, podcasts, etc.  Normally, the "other" is limited to a few hundred MBs (operating system, app data, etc).  If it grows to a GB or more, it probably indicates corrupted data from an interrupted sync.  Sometimes adding a new song or app will clear up the problem.  You can always restore from your backup to regain a normal amount of "other".
    Note:  During a sync, you'll see the "other" bar grow and shrink.  It doesn't mean anything until the sync is finished.
