Hi, I purchased a 3TB Time Capsule direct from Apple last year (April 2018) after my trusted 500mb Time Capsule was too small to carry on, it was about 8 years old and never let me down. From July '18 I have had my Time Capsule history completely wiped, Apple staff remoted in twice to my iMac...

Hi. I'd like to image backup my startup disk (Mojave 10.14). To explain ... a real block copy image, not copying files, but (used) sector by sector. I checked Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) and I am testing sparse image and sparse bundle backups at this time. However I don't get how CCC can...

Hi guys, I have iPhone 6s Plus and I have a problem with cellular data, which stops from time to time. I've been suggested by Apple employee to try doing backup to iCloud (not on iTunes) and resetting iPhone from iTunes (not iCloud). The problem is that my 5GB iCloud still screams to be not...

Hi guys. I currently have an Air from 2012 and today I'm getting a brand new Pro. I have a ton of files on my Air, so the easiest thing would just be to use Time Machine to get the new Pro up and running without losing anything. However, since my Air is so old, I don't know if there'll be a...

Hey all – I'm in a bit of a kerfuffle at the moment and was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this situation? I've searched through various forums but haven't had any luck. Many thanks in advance. Since upgrading to High Sierra last week, my 15" MBP retina early 2013 began...

Hi there. I recently installed Mojave on my main device and attempted to create a boot drive for my older iMac which is in need of repair. Like most of you known, Mojave no longer shows previously purchased macOS in the app store. Apple has even come out and said to use devices with High Sierra...

I'm looking for a way to remove a drive I'm currently backing up TO Time Machine so it won't backup anymore and so it doesn't take up space any longer. I have recently migrated the data to a larger, separate drive that I'd like to back up instead. But I can't seem to figure out how to delete a...

Did you update your iPhone's iOS software via iTunes only to run into Error 14 whilst updating it, only to leave you with a bricked phone, with no previous iCloud/local backups and wishing you could turn back time? READ ON. Okay guys. I decided to update this iPhone 6S Plus to iOS 12 only to...

Hi everyone! I'm Greg, one of the developers of iMazing. We've been around for a while (remember Diskaid?), and somehow haven't started a thread here in all those years... I guess we were waiting for Dark Mode to come into the spotlight! iMazing is the ultimate iOS device manager. We aim...
