Will new backups erase previously backed up files and pictures on icloud?
I have backed up my iPhone to iCloud's. If I erase my camera roll so I can have room to take more pictures, will the next time I back up my phone erase previously backed up pictures that's already on icloud? Or will it just add new pictures to icloud?

As you say, effectively,"the backup simply replaces the previous backed up info to iCloud".
If you want to permanently save your photo use a cloud-based service like DropBox. The photos will be saved and accessible.

I have installed the new OS and have lost a part of my personal data: music files and pictures. The new safari is horrible. Give me back the previous version! Or fix the bugs!
These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
What bugs ? Have you not got your music, files, photos on your computer so that you can sync them back to the iPad ? -
Removing previously backed up files
I just got a warning my disc was full. I check my prefs and discovered that I forgot to exclude a few large folders, like Applications and Music both of which I back up daily to other drives. So I've fixed that.
But Is there a way I can get TM to delete all previously backed up Application and Music files to bring my TM disc down to proper size? Or do I have to erase the disc and start as of now?
Thanks,

Yes. +Enter Time Machine,+ locate and select the folder in question in one of the "cascade" of Finder windows. Click the "gear" icon in the window's toolbar and select +Delete all backups of <item>.+ You'll get a confirmation prompt, then one for your Administrator's password, then TM will do just that. This may take quite a while -- if you exit TM, you may see a progress bar. -
I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt or damaged. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing
Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder. -

All of my music and picture files are still located on my ipod and I plan on getting a new windows laptop
Is there anyway that I can transfer my (unpurchased) music files and pictures from my ipod nano to my new computer?
The pictures are more important that the music, so if only one is possible, I would prefer that
I appreciate any ones helpful commentsCopy the iTunes library from your backup as below:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Sync with the restored library. -
How do I back up files and reinstall original disks on my Power Mac G-4 (2000)
How do I back up files and reinstall original disks on my Power Mac G-4 (yr. 2000). I know that sounds basic but I have very few techno skills. So please "talk down" to me. I had a newer PC (2005) but the hard drive crashed and I am trying to resuscitate this old mac until I can afford to buy a new one. I am in the middle of writing a book (based on Steve Job's life) and must have SOMETHING to write with. Anyone have a better one they can loan me? I am in Maine on the coast. BTW this machine seems to have trouble reading or formatting most CD-disks. Can anyone recommend a type and brand that works well with this model? Thanks for any assistance anyone can render. Here is what I have:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 467 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1Why do you want to reformat the drive? Is it because the machine is running slow?
Be sure to backup you important files, like the book, daily.
The cheapest approach would be to try to figure out why the machine is running slow. Be sure to try safe boot.
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
a) verify the disk
b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile; wait awhile while you harddrive
is being checked.

4) Another way to correct filesystem problems is into single use mode.
This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
Basically, you hold down the command + s key then powering on your machine. The command key
has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar.
4) You may want to run applejack to clean up your machine.
http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
6) Run hardware diagnostics. It's good for a sanity check.
The older versions of ccc were donationware.
Here are two utilities for making a complete backup of your internal hard drive. I've recommend using one of these so that you can create a bootable system on your external hard drive. ( PPC require a firewire connected drive. ) Once created, you can run your system from the external drive. Hold down the option key on your keyboard then power on your machine. This will bring you in startup manager click on the drive image you wish to boot then click on the arrow key to the right.

when i get my itouch repaired if i lose anything will the iCloud will be able to sync back my apps and music back on, if so how?
Create an iCloud backup before sending it in for repair. Also consider making a second backup on your computer using iTunes (connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer purchases). If you have photo stream photos that you want to save, save them to your camera roll before backing up and they will be backed up too.
When you get it back from repair, restore the backup as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766. Your iPod should then look just as it does now. -
Will updating my ipad delete all the files and apps i have there?
Will updating my ipad delete all the files and apps i have there?
Perform a complete backup before hand and all will be well. You just restore the backup after the update. If you have a backup password, be sure you haven't forgotten it. The details of what is backed up differ a bit if you are outside of the states. Read this article for details:

TS4036 how can I view backed up files and delete things I don't need
how do I view backed up files and delete thing I don't need
You can't view individual files contained in the backup. You can control which apps are backed up, and whether or not the camera roll is included in the backup, by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tapping the name of your device under Backups, then looking under Backup Options.

Is it possible to move my iTunes from the old laptop to the new one (including all the music files and playlists) without having to start all over again with a blank iTunes?
yes
You will need to copy the whole iTunes folder which is in your user profile on the old computer in Music folder.
Before you do it make sure iTunes are updates on the old computer and it works without any problems.
This will copy all your media, music, movies (provided you did not change the default location).
After the migration you will need to sing in to Apple store again with your Apple ID
and also authorize your new computer (both done from the tom menu bar in Store.
Once you are done please deauthorize your old computer (the same menu path) if you are not planning to use it anymore.
Any problems post here. -
HT1766 itunes erased all of my apps and pictures and every thing i had how do i get it back?
itunes erased all of my apps and pictures and everything I had ever had in it pictures from when my nephew was born and videos from when he started crawling and walking, how can I get them back?
All of the photos and videos should have been imported to the computer as you would with digital camera photos/videos. In that case, they would be backed up to the computer and you could resync them if you wanted to. The camera roll is not intended to be a storage location since any problem with the phone could cause you to have to restore the phone and doing so risks you losing the photos as you have seen. If the phone was backed up while these photos were on it, you should be able to restore to that backup, however you would lose anything you have added since then.
