Connect your external drive and allow the backup to run, and the "snapshots" will be removed.

  • I recently moved all my music and movie files to a portable hard drive to make room on my hard drive.  Now there are 128 gigs of back up when I look at the storage on my mac.  How can I clean out the backup without downloading a program like cleanmymac?

    please offer any ideas!  Thanks

    For outlook or hotmail emails they use a pop server technology that you can't sync your computer and your iPhone with. You have to unfortunately delete the emails from both devices. It is super frustrating but that is the only way.
    Hope this helps.

    When i try to download additional garageband sounds, it states that I am not connected to the internet but I am. How can I fix this?
    I have a new Macbook Pro, OS X 10.9.3 and the latest Garageband that came installed.

    However, I can't see any of the new sounds in garageband??
    Have you restarted your computer after installing the additional content?
    How many drummers do you see, when you select a patch for a Drummer Track?
    If the inapt purchase has been installed, you should now be seeing 18 drum patches and not only SoCal:
    Also, if you open the "Lesson Store" view, there should be now several free basic guitar and piano lessons available for download.

  • Can't copy any more songs to my ipod from itunes - says its full but i have deleted heaps off my ipod to make room!

    I can not seem to add any more songs to my ipod. Normally i just click and drag songs i have highlighted in my itunes folders up to the Administrators' ipod and it puts a copy there in my ipod. however i keep getting a message saying there is not enough room  . . . and so can't add another song. I have deleted heaps of songs off my ipod to ensure sufficient room for these new songs i want to load but i keep failing - why would that be? Is the space not freeing up when i delete exiting music off my ipod for some reason - or any other reason?

    Try rebooting your iPod with it still connected to iTunes.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. 
    How exactly are you deleting this tracks from the iPod?

  • When starting up my computer, I get a window that says - apple sync notifier.exe - entry point not found.  how can i get rid of this window?

    When I start up my computer,  I get a window that pops up that says  *  AppleSyncNotifier.exe - entry point not found.  it also says    the procedure entry point xmltextreadername could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2 .dll.   .  What does this mean and how can I get rid of it?

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • HT201269 I have lost my iPhone 3GS. It was backed up to my computer using iTunes. I now have a new iPhone 4 series from a friend. How can I restore the backup information for my previous phone to the new phone?

    I have lost my iphone 3GS. It was backed up to my macbook pro using itunes. I now have a new iphone series 4 (china model). How can I access the backup information for my old phone and put it on my new one?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

    I copied my iTunes music from an old computer to a new Macbook pro but it did not copy the playlists that are on my Nano. How can I copy the playlists and their content on the nano to the Macbook? If I automatically sync the nano from the Macbook, will it scrub the content and existing playlists on the nano?

    You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

    My computer is on auto updates, when it tries to update I get a message that says something is stopping my security updates.

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file all.js or firefox.js
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I have a old firefox data file from a computer transfer i did and i want to get all the bookmarked sites i had orginized how can i do this?

    so a while back i transfered my old computer files to my new computer and when i did that i tried getting my firefox books marks added when i did it it just made a file old firefox data. i went into it it has the books marks but the problem is it isnt really readable kinda jumbled up and i wanna know if i can import it to my current one or somehow get it organized so i can at least see them apart or on a note pad just each bookmark on its own line? i added a picture of what it looks like

    Backing up and restoring your Profile should have included your bookmarks.

    That looks like a JSON bookmarks backup file, from 11-01-2012. Did you try '''restoring''' that file?
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them#w_using-a-bookmark-backup-file
    Never messed with JSON files other than viewing them on a few occasions out of curiosity. There are no line breaks which make them very difficult to read.
    As far as working with that file in {like} NotePad goes:
    A. use Find / Search for each indecent of a '''"uri"''' string, then "copy and paste" the uri into another text file, and then move on to the next "uri" string.
    B. use a text program where a filter can be set for the "uri" field in the JSON file for a line break or to "scrape out" the "uri"s only for display or export to a list of uri's.
    Or try using an online JSON editor like this, to try to display only the "uri" field.

  • When I long press a link, in addition to opening a context box, it also opens the link in that window. How can I get JUST the context window to appear?

    I am an avid Pocket user and I like to scroll through various blog sites while saving articles to read later. Typically, I have been using Google Chrome browser which requires me to open each article in a different tab and then share that article to Pocket in order to save it. I was ecstatic when I found out the firefox browser worked very well and even supported add ons. I decided to try it but have run into a major issue. When I long press a link in order to share it, instead of a context window appearing and the website staying the same, a context window opens while the website loads the link. When I right click on a link in my browser, it doesn't mean I want to go to that link so I'm not sure why the same procedure would cause the mobile browser to do so. Is there a way I can long press a link without opening the link in that tab?

    Okay, this is silly, but it's the best I could come up with:
    I tested on Gizmodo: when the long press menu appears, instead of lifting your finger straight up, slide it down a bit, just off the link, before lifting your finger off the glass. Then the script in the page does not detect a "mouse up" (or equivalent event) on the link. Does that work for you?
    I realize you can't actually see the link through the menu, but one or two lines of text height usually will do it.
    Probably would make sense for Firefox to cancel all events associated with touching the link once the menu is displayed. Or to make sure the site understands it as a right-click (that seems harder). I haven't checked to see whether any ideas along these lines have been filed in the bug tracking system.

  • I upgrade firefox from 7 to 8 and now when i start firefox everytime it opens "getting start with firefox" page, in options i select the option 'show a blank page" how can i resolve this issue?

    i upgrade firefox from version 7 to version 8, now when i start firefox everytime it open self the "getting start with firefox" website, in the options on firefox i select the 'show a blank page' but its not working. i am using firefox on windows XP- SP2.

    Try restarting Firefox, the one time page(s) after starting a new release should disappear. Actually this last time with 8.0 they did not come up for me.
    If that doesn't work then bring up '''about:config''' and place the url of the page into the filter. Right-click on anything that comes up and use "Reset".
