Hi Rosemary, If your Husband’s Time Machine backups are working to the same drive, the drive must have enough free space. DON’T go deleting any files manually in the Finder, Time Machine will delete files when it runs out of space. Connect the external Drive to your computer, click once on

Thanks for your suggestion. However, although the in progress and Latest files are there, when I try to move them to trash, rather than a request for admin password, I get a message saying they can't be deleted Rosemary Spark PO Box 781 South Fremantle WA 6162 Australia Phone: + 61 8 94336609

Is the external drive connected via FireWire to your computer? Do a 'Get Info' and make sure you have 'Read Write' privileges on the .inProgress file. Also if you have Fast User Switching turned on, you won't be able to delete the file. I have to knock off now as I have a 4AM start tomorrow.

Find my iPhone - Showing 'no device registered'

Hello, A friend of mine has lost her iPhone on Saturday, 6 days ago. She had turned on, registered and tested 'Find my iPhone' earlier this year and it all worked correctly. She has not migrated to iCloud and is still using MobileMe. When we check the MobileMe site me.com/find/ it says she

Hi Tim, If your friend contacted her service provider to report her device lost/stolen before locating/wiping the iPhone, and they deactivated her SIM card or account, she will no longer be able to locate, display a message on, or remotely wipe the iPhone. Sent from Ronni's iPad On

Hi Ronni and Carlo Well I did the permission repair from the disc and it found a whole paragraph of things to fix which hadn't appeared before, and so far no safari quits (though it hasn't been long and I'm not using illustrator this morning) But I've had 2 kernel panics. Don't remember

Hi Alastair, If you are now experiencing Kernel Panics and because you also mentioned you had run Memtest and it reported many errors, that your RAM (Memory) ‘could’ be the problem. This is not conclusive as there are other things that can cause Kernel Panics. If you have run memtest before I

Thanks Ronni, that's good information. So the lesson to be learnt is try 'find my iPhone' before phoning the service provider to cancel. Tim On 10/11/2011, at 11:36 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Tim, If your friend contacted her service provider to report her device lost/stolen before

That all sounds good to me, Ronni — very thorough as usual! I also agree that the fact that Memtest has reported a problem would suggest that one or both DIMMS are defective. If you are able to, try temporarily swapping out the memory and see if the problem goes away. Also take the opportunity

Thanks again Ronni and Carlo Yes, I ran memtest in single user mode - 3 passes of which 2 had quite a few mismatches and the third, I think, only one. I will try taking out one dimm (don't have a spare to do a swap) and testing again. But have to get some work done first, between panics!
