Re: Apple Releases Mail Update to Address OS X 10.9 Mavericks Bugs

The 32.46 MB update, which can be downloaded from Apple’s Web site or via Software Update, fixes several issues: the inability to delete, move, and archive messages when using custom Gmail settings, inaccurate unread mail counts, and additional — unspecified — compatibility fixes. It’s clear that Apple intended to make Mail in 10.9 Mavericks work more intuitively with Google’s popular mail service, but the result for many was a broken mess. It’ll take time before we know for sure if Apple’s update solves the problems, but Gmail has never used a standard IMAP implementation, so there will likely be other incompatibilities in the future. Your best bet may be to use something like Mailplane, which encapsulates the Gmail Web app into a native Mac wrapper (to see why TidBITS Publisher Adam Engst likes Mailplane, see “Zen and the Art of Gmail, Part 4: Mailplane,” 16 March 2011), or to follow in the footsteps of Joe and leave Gmail for a more standards-compliant email provider (see “Joe Kissell Says Sayonara to Gmail,” 31 October 2013).

There are a couple of ways to do it, either using Terminal, or you can use Disk Utility, (I would not suggest you use Lion DiskMaker as it is still in Beta for Mavericks). The easiest is Using Mavericks’ new bootable-drive-creation feature Hidden inside the Mavericks installer is a Unix program called createinstallmedia provided by Apple to create a bootable Mavericks installer. If you’re comfortable using Terminal, it’s a relatively simple tool to use. The program assumes your account has administrator privileges. Note: if you leave the Mavericks installer in its default location in the Applications folder when you install OS X 10.9, the installer will be deleted automatically after the installation finishes. So if you plan to use that installer on other Macs, or—in this case—to create a bootable drive, be sure to copy the installer to another drive, or at least move it out of the Applications folder, before you install. If you don't, you'll have to re-download the installer from the Mac App Store before you can create a bootable install drive. You need a drive (a hard drive, SSD, thumb drive, or USB stick) that’s big enough to hold the installer and all its data—at least an 8GB flash drive. That drive must also be formatted with a GUID Partition Table.

My support boot drive now has a very nice Mavericks installer complete with self designed background picture. :o) (though my USB drive now has a lot of partitions,…with al the installers back to 10.6.3 and vanilla HD Boot drives,….lol). /end quote The Apple ID may be the tricking part.

Re: ICloud vs computer backup
Hi Peter, iTunes does NOT backup your iTunes Library - iCloud does NOT backup your iTunes Library. You use Time Machine or the backup program you are using to backup your complete system. iTunes or iCloud can backup your iPhone/iPad (iOS Devices) iTunes creates a Backup of your iPhone/iPad (iOS Devices) then syncs information. About iCloud Storage iCloud includes 5 GB of free storage space, and you can buy more if that’s not enough (an additional 10 GB for $20 per year, 20 GB for $40 per year, or 50 GB for $100 per year). Apple makes a big deal about how far that free 5 GB will go, and how it should be enough for most users. In reality, the situation is more complex than it appears. On the positive side, many types of data you may want to store in iCloud don’t count against that 5 GB limit. For example, purchases from the iTunes Store—music, TV shows, movies, apps, and books— don’t take up any of your personal space, because Apple already has copies of all that data on their servers. Photos in your Photo Stream don’t count either, no matter how many you have or what their resolution is, presumably because that data stays in the cloud only temporarily. That leaves email (including attachments), documents, and—if you’ve enabled iCloud Backups—the photos in the Camera Roll from each of your devices, personal settings, app data, and a few other items that would appear at first glance to occupy little space altogether. But those backups turn out to be a bigger deal than you might think. iCloud doesn’t require you to back up iOS devices to the cloud; you can continue backing them up to your Mac. On 10 Nov 2013, at 1:58 pm, Peter Crisp petercr...@westnet.com.au wrote: Hi, I’ve a basic question about how iTunes works. When you have an idevice attached to a computer with iTunes, one has the choice of selecting for Backups Either “iCloud” OR “This Computer”. I have a music/video library around 230GB and so I choose to have it on an external drive to which the iTunes library path is pointed. I am using iTunes on a Windows 7 laptop and have for many years, but soon to migrate it all to a Macbook Pro probably still on an external drive (I can’t wait!! My question is, if I choose in iTunes to backup to “This Computer”, then does that preclude using iCloud for any backups for lesser voluminous data – say contacts, calendar etc? I’m not going to pay for 250GB of iCloud storage. Can one toggle between the two settings as you please? If it can be done, what are the upsides to this backup process in two places and downsides if any? You can set things to backup automatically either to your computer (iTunes) or to iCloud, but not both. If you choose automatic backup to this computer in iTunes, and then set the preference on the iPhone to automatically back up to iCloud, it will warn you that you are no longer automatically backing up to your computer (and next time you look in iTunes, the setting to automatic iCloud backups will have automatically updated from your iPhone setting, or the other way around). Regardless of which you chose in iTunes for automatically backup, you can manually backup to your computer (iTunes) from iTunes using the Backup Now button. You can manually backup to iCloud from your iPhone Settings iCloud Storage Backup Backup Now (button at the bottom). Backing up to iCloud you use the iPhone not iTunes. On your new MacBook Pro I assume will be running Mavericks? Mavericks no longer includes Sync Services. “Most users won’t even notice it’s gone, but it will affect people who still use older versions of apps that rely on this mechanism to sync data with iOS devices” “The loss of Sync Services also means that you can no longer use iTunes (via Wi-Fi or USB) to sync calendars, contacts, and notes between your Mac and iOS devices. You must instead use a server-based system of some sort on both your Mac and iOS devices, which could be (among other options) iCloud, Google, an Exchange server” “You can still sync media, apps, and documents with iOS devices via iTunes, —this change affects only calendars, contacts, and notes.” This article overviews what is included in the iCloud backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US iOS: How to back up and restore your content http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 Syncing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386?viewlocale=en_US Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262 I have an iPhone 4 using iOS 7.0.3 and iTunes 11.1.2.32 on the Windows 7 heap.
