Why does TimeMachine say the disk is full when it isn't?
Hello!
A lot of my backups recently have been failing because TimeMachine says the disk is full, when that simply isn't true. As of right now, I have 1.18 TB available of
2 TB. Why do my backups fail even when sufficient space is there?
Thank you so much in advance!!!

This main explanation is here.
OS X Yosemite (10.10)
This is pretty much equivalent to kids talking to each other on tin cans over a wet string.
The TM in Yosemite is also exceedingly bug infested.
The best solution for now..
1. Use ethernet instead of wireless to do backups.
2. If you upgrade installed Yosemite a clean install might improve it.
3. Using local disk (USB drive plugged in for example) can be a huge improvement over networks and wireless.
4. If you continued the backup from the old OS, wipe the TC disk and start over a new TM backup. (you can archive the old one if you want to maintain the history).
5. Use an alternative to TM until apple get their act together.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper etc.

Why does it say \'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer\'
I have been using an HP Photosmart Plus B210a printer for a year. Recently I have many inconsistent printing problems, it's slow, in a queue, just doesn't move until I reboot - pull out plug, download again etc... anyway now it's defunct I'm steaming - shall I chuck it and buy another if so which - thinking of HP Envy 120??? Anyway when I try to use usb and not eprint a box pops up saying: The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer. So here lies the problem, but I;ve changed cables and still it pops up. What does this mean? My Lion 10.7 mac OX is as new as the printer. Please advise, before I go insane.
Sounds like you are having a configuration issue with the software. Initially, my first response will be to completely remove the software from your computer and reinstall it using the software that HP makes available to download. Here is a link to that download :

Have you also considered trying a different method of communication (e.g. wirelessly or using an Ethernet cord)? This might allow me to make better assumptions on where the issue lays if I know the circumstances which lead to it.
Let me know and have a great day! -

i used the "erase free space " option in disk utility and now my imac says the disk is full and wont let me download songs. please help!
You could try repairing permissions with disk utility, I don't think you will have the option to repair the drive but you could verify it.
This may help you delete the files that DU made but did not remove when erasing the free space.

When you get your SL disk it will not have the iLife applications, that would have been on the second install disk that should have been with the computer. I forget which version of iLife you will need for SL but I think it is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iLife-Single-User-Mac/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&qid=1409607702&sr=8-1&keywords=apple+ilife+11
A search of the forums will confirm or deny this.
As to whether a clean install will cure your problem, i.e. partition the HDD and install I would expect it to be yes, but there are no guarantees it is an old machine. -
Why does it say "The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel." when trying to install itunes64installer on my b4 bit windows 7 acer pc? Any help would be much appreciated...
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. So I upgrade again and still it says I haven't next time I log on. Today I upgraded to 9, it said congratulations on upgrading, I log off then log back on only to be told yet again I need to upgrade. What is going on?
You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained. You appear to have Firefox 8.0.1 installed which is the latest version.
'''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version is now built-in to Firefox).

Hi Lolo DaBoss,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
Since you have three CC under same Adobe ID out of which one is expired, so you are getting the reminders.
Please log out & log back in of the CC desktop App , it should resolve the issue.

Why does it say I have no service when I connect my Ipad 2 to my comupter with internet thru an aircard. First time user.
Do you have gfxCardStatus installed? Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete". You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC

Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions,
Did you get the flash drive from a reliable source. There are some available on the net that show a large capacity but are only 512 mb. or 1 gb. drives that have been altered to display a much larger capacity.
Good luck,
