Hope someone can help me. 2 issues.. seem complex to me.. Issue #1: I upgraded to Catalina on my iMac, then decided I wanted to go back to Mojave. I followed instructions to restore from Time Machine. HOWEVER, on 2 occasions it gets about 90% through the restore then stops with error that disk...

As of Nov 17th 2019, I was able to FutureRestore to an unsigned firmware (iOS 13.1.3) from 13.2.2 on both my iPhone X and iPhone 7 after the Apple signing window for 13.1.3 was closed. These steps would normally be used if the boot nonce generator code of your device does not match the...

since my fan starts to run like hell despite I have no special app running for 2 weeks now I wonder if it is a program or driver I installed in the last weeks. So I thought it would be an easy solution to restore my system via time machine to one of my older backups. When I start my MBP...

Having only bought the S4 less than 5 months ago, I had no intention of upgrading to S5. However I was then surprised by the Always On screen and this week also won a competition which would cover almost 60% of the cost of the S5 with the sale of the S4 making up the rest . . . so it’s decision...

Hello, This afternoon after backing up enough data from my 1TB Samsung SSD, I decided I had enough free space to create two partitions. The idea being that I was going to use Disk Utility to create a clone of the boot partition to the empty one, and then clean install Sierra onto the boot...

Hi, I made a TM backup of my old macbook pro before it stopped working. It was running on El Capitan with many important apps. If I buy a 2018 Macbook Air (running, presumably, Mojave) can I just start the new Air up, press Cmd-R and restore from old backup? Will my Macbook Air then be running...

Hello So I recently switched over from Android to Apple, and through my carrier, upgraded my phone to an iPhone XS. So far the phone has been great, but there are a couple of things that I wasn't sure if they were bugs or maybe I was just not familiar with iOS. So I took it to the Genius Bar...

Hello! It has happened twice now: my Apple Watch looks like it's restoring/updating (showing the Apple Watch Basic screen with the progress ring), but at the end my watch is just like before. It happens every time my iPhone (on iOS 13 beta) is updated... I've checked and the watch is not...

Hey people, In a bit of a situation that I thought would be easy but turns out isn't. Over the weekend I lost my iPhone 6s, don't think I'll be getting it back so I have an older iPhone 5s I'm using for now. I wanted to restore the 5s with the backup from the 6s (which was backed up last year)...

Online Apple claim that a system restore via iTunes “erases” the solid state disk on your phone and installs a “new” and current and up to date version of iOS on your iPhone. My question is: when they say erase - does this mean “properly” erase (Overwrite the contents of each memory location to...

Hi All Need some assistance please. I think my young daughter has been playing around with my Macbook Pro (Mid2010) and trying to guess the password. When I went to log in last night the password would not work. I eventually rebooted and it kept happening. So I went into CMD - R on start up to...

Update: For those of us happy taking many photos and using iTunes to back them up, don't believe that they are safely stored there - just check that your backup matches the images on your phone and that all are viewable in your backup / restore. You may see the message 'file type not supported'...

Now that Apple decided to sunset the Time Capsule line, what else is out there? Hint, anything that can take less than 12 hours to restore a 1 TB SSD?

Hi there, I have a large capacity SATA drive for my ageing iMac and am looking to acquire a MacBook Pro with a smaller SSD drive - probably 512gb - running in tandem with an external 1gb SSD 1gb. My big items size wise are my Photos and iTunes libraries which i would want to site on the...

I have backed up my Aperture 3 library (managed NOT referenced) which was ( 800GB) to Time machine as well as to an off site external HD. My problem is that since Safari crashed recently my Aperture program won’t open on my iMac (3TB) running Yosemite. Aperture works on my MBP also running...

When I restore my ipad from backup, will the ‘old’ version of an app (the one that was in the backup) be restored, or will automatically a newer / the latest version (if available) be restored?

I wanted to restore my Mac. The guide I found said to go to recovery mode by holding command + r upon restarting, and in there to go to disc utility and then delete the drive. I did this, and then I closed the disk utility in order to select the option to restore macOS. However, when selecting...
