[sussex_mug] Time Machine Drive with Time Running Out

Morning All, My Time Machine drive has just developed an unmistakeable death-rattle, it's also full. So first, what are the latest SMUG thoughts on the best brand of external HD to go with? And second, what's the procedure for replacing a Time Machine drive? Ta Phil Phil Ward Skype: ap

[sussex_mug] Unable to access Back Ups on hard drive

Howdy, Quick question. One of our guys macbook pro was passed onto one of our new staff and Natalie got a new one . We backed up Natalie's Data to a hard drive then wiped the computer so the new user could have a fresh computer as it were. Thing is I am trying to get the data off the hard drive

I am now sure it is my problem as I failed understand there was a difference between iCloud and iCloud Drive. At least now I know. Diana > On 26 Sep 2014, at 14:08, Tony Crooks wrote: > > Diana, > > I'm using Mavericks and iOS 8 and at least for Pages I can open docs created > on a Mac an

Re: [sussex_mug] iCloud no longer works for Numbers

Diana, I'm using Mavericks and iOS 8 and at least for Pages I can open docs created on a Mac and vice versa without problems. It also is working for realtime updating - seeing changes made on both as they take place. I haven't invoked iCloud Drive as this doesn't work until Yosemite. This coul

Re: [sussex_mug] iCloud no longer works for Numbers

It's the public preview copy where you can download Yosemite before it's fully completed, test it and give feedback to Apple regarding any bugs you find. I've been using it since it was released, only had to give feedback around 5 times. Regards Sam MacAmbulance Ltd. Providing

Hi, Now I am going to show my ignorance. What is the Public Beta version of Yosemite? For a small user like me I guess waiting for Yosemite annoying but no more. Diana On 26 Sep 2014, at 13:34, Sam - MacAmbulance wrote: Hi Diana You could try downloading the Public Beta of Yosemite here

Hi Diana You could try downloading the Public Beta of Yosemite here https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/ it's been 99% fine for me so far. We're on the 3rd version and it keeps getting better. Regards Sam MacAmbulance Ltd. Providing Affordable Mac/PC Support and Web De

Re: [sussex_mug] iCloud no longer works for Numbers

What a mess. iWorks and iCloud obviously do not work if you upgraded to iOS8 but do not have Yosemite. I would love to have Yosemite so everything works again!!! I am now back to one working copy on my Mac and no way of syncing to devices via iCloud as I used to. Why have Apple released i

Re: [sussex_mug] headphones and silence (semi-OT)

I have some custom-made earplugs for 100% watertight seal when swimming (I have grommets in my eardrums which let water into my brain). They're almost 100% noiseproof too. The only problem is that when they're in, all I can hear is the tinnitus! The company that makes them Ultimate Ears in Orpi

Threatening to be OT, but pleading 'relevant to some, and to iPodland in general I spend far too much time on trains surrounded by 'conversations', tinny headphone sound etc and I'm really getting too old for it... I have etymotic ER4s which do a very good job of cutting out sound; I've trie

I upgraded my iPad Air and iPhone 5 to iOS 8 when it came out. Now find that I cannot access my spreadsheets on iCloud and those already on iCloud have not been updated for at least a week (I suspect the date I installed the update). Do I now have to wait for Yosemite for everything to work as

Thanks, Sam. That's very reassuring! The press does tend to hype things rather!! Andrew On 26 Sep 2014, at 9:26 am, Sam - MacAmbulance wrote: > Hi Andrew > > There's actually very little you can do to mitigate this. Bash is built into > every unix-based OS there is so until there's a patch rel

Re: [sussex_mug] Shellshock

Hi Andrew There's actually very little you can do to mitigate this. Bash is built into every unix-based OS there is so until there's a patch released, there are a lot of vulnerable devices out there. Anything running Linux (including Android), OS X, ironically anything except Windows could pote

Hi. Just heard about this on the radio. Is it as severe / worrying as it is being reported - or is it, once again, being blown out of all proportion by the media? And are then any steps I should take or patches? Thanks, Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Goo
