You need more than one backup. Hard drives do fail. You can also try a clone.
Clone  - Carbon Copy Cloner          (Often recommended as it has more features than some others)
Clone – Data Backup
Clone – Deja Vu

  • My friend and I both have Firefox 3.6.8 for Mac but when we access the same Horde email account his menus are a mess and mine aren't - why?

    My menus run along the top, his are vertical. I've tried everything to replicate his problem, including changing the zoom settings, using no page style, changing character sets, blocking images and Javascript but nothing will cause this in my browser window.

    I believe that google asks for billing information to verify you are who you say you are.   Have you written to google exlaining the situation? I would try circumventing their automated methods cause often real people can provide help that an automated system cannot.  This should prove true with your recovery methods for apple as well.
    Second, anything purchased on that account will come unsuable with a different account.  If your son's account cannot be recovered with apple or google and you do wish to activate a new apple ID to that ipod consider this.  I have a family of four, we each have different iOS devices.  However, we all use one apple ID that i created nearly a decade ago to purchase everything.  I don't use that email address anymore except as my apple ID.  Why: cause everything I have EVER purchased is tied to it.  It allows me to play any content any of my family purchases on any of devices. 
    I know you may not want to see genius recommendations based on their purchases but it'll help in the future when something like this may happen again.
    Best of luck

  • My Ipod 4th Gen will not turn on. When I hook it up to the computer I get the ITunes symbol and the usb device on the screen of the Ipod. When I go to restore the Ipod it will not restore. I am getting unknown error code 6.

    My Ipod 4th Gen will not turn on. When I hook it up to the computer I get the ITunes symbol and the usb device on the screen of the Ipod. When I go to restore the Ipod it will not restore. I am getting unknown error code 6.

    Likely this:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 40, 1000, 9006
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

    When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen. (never gotten it wet or had it exposed to extreme temperatures) It is also unresponsive to any buttons on the ipod and it didn't show up when i plugged it into my computer. What do I do? Also if it is unfixable could i get a free one from apple?

  • Upon startup Firefox says "Proxy is refusing connections." When I select "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced settings and solve problem, changes are not saved and upon next startup I must select again...!

    Firefox 4 was working fine. Then one day, when I started up Firefox, it says "Proxy is refusing connections." I solved this by selecting "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced network settings, but my changes are not saved and upon every start-up I must select it again! (I even completely removed my webroot antivirus protection, as it as hindering many proxy related programs, but this seems to not be the source of the problem)

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
    See "Firefox connection settings":

  • I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone.  For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named

    I use Yahoo Calendar on my IPhone.  For whatever reason when I go into my calendar I will see at the top of the screen that 5 or 6 "calendars" are being used and one of them is the one I called Dana_Gardner and is legitimate, the others are randomly named with letters and numbers. Why is the IPhone creating additional "calendars"? I only asked for one to be set-up. I don't understand, I have to go into the calendar settings daily and uncheck these un-asked for calendars. Help!

    Mine is doing the same thing.  I deleted the whole account from the mail settings and it got rid of most of the extra calendars.  But there are still 2 gibberish ones left.

  • I'm trying to understand SYNC. How do I know if my addons I add to one computer or another are sync'd and not deleted when syncing occurs.

    Maybe the question has been answered, but I havent seen an answer in a way I understood.
    I have two or three computers I regularly use. I've been with Firefox for years - probably since version 3. Over time I've downloaded old standby add-ons like the popular AdBlock Plus and FireGestures to the more recent add-ons like Pocket and Fox-To-Phone. I've tried to maintain consistency between computers for the by manually downloading the add-ons to each computer. But I havent always been consistent, especially when I download a background program like Sareaholic or something else I dont often use, I kinda download it and forget it. I may later end up realizing "oh I got such-and-such on that other computer, not this one" and so my experience with each computer is unique.
    Hence, the beauty of Sync: A take-it-with-you, consistent browsing experience across the board. Am I right so far?
    But now I'm confused, especially about pairing, where one computer is added to another so they become linked (ie. synced) in an effort to have the entire browsing experience consistent :
    1) I think I'm going to lose addons. And whatever else I sync because Sync will treat one computer as primary when the pairing process occurs.
    2) What do I pair to what? If I set up the Sync account on computer #1 and later on while sitting at computer #2 decide I want to include it in the sync account and so I initiate a pairing, is computer #2 going to lose it's addons in favor of computer #1 or is it the other way around?
    I guess here's a good scenario. Lets say my computers have the following addons:
    ALL COMPUTERS: AdBlock Plus, Firegestures, LastPass
    and each computer has the following addons:
    #1: AdBlock Pop Up Addon, Download Helper, Pocket, Price Blink, X-notfier
    #2: AdBlock Pop Up Addon, Pocket, Shareaholic, QuickFox Notes
    #3: Download Helper, X-notifier, Shareaholic, Fox-To-Phone
    My sync account was set up on computer #1.
    ?? What can I expect from initially setting up syncing?
    ?? Once computers are linked, what can I expect when I download an addon or one computer or another?
    Thank you.
    - Eric

    Hi
    Here are a couple of tips as a starter. Choose a piece of music with strong accents. It doesn't necessarily have to have a big drum beat but should have strong hits or musical accents.  To start the edit off, choose sync points from your footage to edit to the musical accents. Then fill in the gaps with other footage.
    That should get you started.

  • When I view my DVD on my computer it's perfect, after burning and watching it on my TV all the pictures flash 3 times.

    When I view my DVD on my computer it is perfect. When i watch it on my TV the pictures flash 3 times each.

    Hi
    Can be many origins to this - most common ones are
    • Use of cheap DVD media - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    • Burning DVD as full speed - I set it down to x4
    • Use of strange file formats (codecs) eg. .avi, .wmv etc - I use StreamingDV from miniDV tapes video and .aiff 16-bit 48kHz audio
    • I secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on START-Up Hard disk (important)

    Try using RecBoot to kick it out of recovery mode. If that does not work, try a manual install, as outlined in link below. If it STILL keeps entering recovery mode, you most likely need a new logic board.
