    Only last backup of iphone available

    Good morning, it looks like everytime I do a backup of the iPhone on my macStudio (12.7), it overwrites previous ones. I.e. I can only recuperate from the last backup, the list is empty. Any idea how to keep older backups?

    Backup from one Time Capsual to a second Time Capsula - is that possible?

    Hello, I would like to regularly back up the data from a Time Capsule to a second Time Capsule. You can save the data on a plugged-in USB disk, but there are hardly any other options, or is that hidden somewhere?

    Best external HD for Time Machine.

    My Seagate OneTouch SSD 2TB just stopped working (I've been using it with Time Machine for the last 2.5 years) and whenever I plug it into my mac, the whole finder app stops responding.

    Hello I have the following dilemma. At the moment I have a 4K tv always hooked up with my Macbook M1 to watch movies and series I've downloaded.

    Can an old rMBP talk to a brand new Macbook?

    Hello. I am still using a 2013 rMBP. It works pretty well, except its original battery is dying. Time for an upgrade. I'll get a MBA15 or MBP M3 or something. Doesn't really matter...they'll be stupidly fast and more capable than what I have now. Say the new laptop arrives. Can I create a...

    iCloud space saving tip

    Running out of iCloud backup space? If you're already on an iCloud+ plan and don't have a ton of picture/videos taking up space, this might help.

    Which HDD/SSD for backup?

    Hi! I'm looking for a backup drive (~3TB, not to be used with Time Machine). Is HDD really the safer option compared to SSD? Are there good options with Thunderbolt? Should I use AFPS or HFS+? Thanks for your respective 2 cents!
