Making an HD backup on the Mac before performing a clean install

Perhaps those with some advanced knowledge of the Mac could have a go at answering this one for me please? I am currently running Mountain Lion on my iMac, but want to upgrade to Mavericks. Before I do, however, I would like to perform a backup of my HD before doing a clean install rather than ju

Time Machine should perform the backup task, if anything goes wrong you can restore from this back to where you left off. On 21 Feb 2014, at 11:09 pm, Jackie Brown wrote: > Perhaps those with some advanced knowledge of the Mac could have a go at > answering this one for me please? > > I am cur

Re: Making an HD backup on the Mac before performing a clean install

Indeed! after you plug your external HD in, Time Machine will pop-up and ask if you want to use the HD disk you've just connected for time machine backups. On 21 Feb 2014, at 11:23 pm, Jackie Brown wrote: > Hi Dane > > And could I make a backup of my HD using an external drive I keep for this

Remote access

Hi Folks: I am having a problem finding a remote program that will pass on Voiceover key commands from one Mack to another. TeamViewer will work with standard key operations but will not forward Voiceover commands. Anyone know of a program that will resolve my problem? I’m not too concerned

Google Chrome

Hi! I know there are people here who have tried this as I've seen the threads in the past but not taken all that much notice. So where are we at now with Google Chrome and its associated tools with OSX Mavericks? I know a little about how Chrome and its tools work given that I have a Samsung C

I am running Google Chrome on my Mac Book Air. It seems to work great, although I’ve never actually used it with Chromevox. I assume this is the latest build but I’m not positive. I use Chrome and Safari interchangeably and like both. They both work very well with Voiceover. Jake On Feb 21, 2014

They also do Transmit Zak which is in my view the best FTP/SFTP client on Mac. It's no bother at all to contact them, I just wanted to check here first to see if anyone had a direct line into someone senior in the company. Cheers. On 21 Feb 2014, at 18:05, Zachary Kline wrote: > I think these

Re: Making an HD backup on the Mac before performing a clean install

You could use the time machine app to make a back up on to an external. You could also if you have it use CCC and then use the migration wizard to transfer your stuff from there. I actually did not know that was possible until I did it one day when I was doing a clean install a while ago. On F

Re: 10.9 finder busy opening documents.

Sean, The problem is that there is no one specific cause for busy messages. They can be caused by large folders, particularly in column view. How large is your documents folder, or how many files does it have? I am using an upgraded copy of Mavrics and notice no consistent Finder busy messages.
