    Short story of (kernel) panics, Safe Boot and relief

    Nothing heavy here, just a little reflection of a recent incident with my 2018 MacBook Pro + Monterey. It was one of those situations that we all dread; waking your Mac of a morning and find that nothing is quite the same. The cursor is pin-wheeling. Where it isn't pin-wheeling, I click on...

    Time Machine no longer working for me: replace with Carbon Copy Cloner or Chronosync or ?

    TLDR: I can no longer trust Time Machine and need a recommendation for a replacement that does the exact same thing; scheduled incremental backups of multiple volumes that keep as many older daily, weekly and monthly versions as the volume can hold, with automatic pruning, simple browsing of...

    How Are Edited Photos Saved?

    If I transfer photos taken and edited with my iPhone to a folder on an external hard drive, are the edits baked into the images, or do I need the Photos app to view the edits? Thinking about backing my photos up outside of the Photos app, but I want to back up the original, non-edited versions.

    Backup options

    TimeCapsule is playing up. What do people use for backup now that TimeCapsules are no longer sold. I need something that is network attached, rather than physically attached to my iMac. Cheers Chris.

    Annoying backup issue!

    So, for the entire time I've owned an iPhone (10+ years), my backups have been between 5 GB and 7 GB. In the summer, I backed up my iPhone 11 Pro before I bought a new phone (12 pro). The backup was 6.8 Gig. Perfect. I uploaded that to my new phone and got on with my life. Sometime after...

    iCloud iOS backs up camera roll to iCloud regardless of Photos settings

    I recently added iCloud storage in preparation for a new iPhone. As part of the process I backed up an iPhone 6. To my surprise the backup took up about 35GB of iCloud space, so much that I got an alert to upgrade my 50GB plan to 200GB. I went from about 3.5GB of iCloud use to 50GB-plus. Since...
