    Flash drive to back up iPad docs (not just photos)

    I was disappointed to find that the SanDisk iXpand can only copy photos and videos from the iPad. I’m hoping that this isn’t a limitation imposed by Apple. I’m a creative pro and need to back up large Procreate and Affinity Photo docs. Yes, I can back up to the cloud, but upload is slow over...

    Possible to restore Time Machine to old macOS?

    Basically I'm fed up with High Sierra with what it's been doing to my iMac performance-wise and want to "downgrade" (to me it'd be an upgrade) to OS X Mavericks as its the earliest version my Mac supports. I'd like to know if I can restore a Time Machine backup made on High Sierra to Mavericks...

    I have iTunes Movies, TV Series and Music of about 1-2 TB in total on my account, but not downloaded yet. Instead of streaming those data/files every time and relying on an sometimes spotty internet connection I'd like to to have those local (also as a backup). My iPhone obviously has less...

    Carbon Copy Cloner = new user

    I am using the trial version of Carbon Copy Cloner to see if I want to buy it. Time Machine is a pain. How long does the first backup of my laptop (MacBook Air) take? I am using my Airport Time Capsule for my backup location. Any suggested tutorials for this app? Thanks for any help.

    Restored iTunes backup, apps still downloaded from iCloud

    I had to switch iPhone 5S (Apple couldn't replace the battery) so I restored a password protected iTunes local backup. To my surprise, most of the apps still need to be downloaded from iCloud. Being on a metered internet connection, this really sucks! Is this expected behaviour? Is there a...
