    Time Capsule, iTunes, External HD

    Hi there, I just bought a 2TB Time Capsule and am looking forward to setting it up. That said, I've been doing research about moving my iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an external to be used with the TC for wi-fi access. I understand that if you partition the TC HD that it won't back up whatever...

    Hi all, I believe there is a conflict in my library that was causing audio problems. The audio problem stopped when I did a clean install of El Capitan, however, when I used Migration Assistant to restore my system I noticed that the problem returned. Because of this I wish to restore only...

I chose at setup to make it an encrypted backup but the drive doesn't seem to ask me for a password until I try to mount the sparse bundle named after my Mac. Also no password while connected to the router unless it was...
