pcs aren't the computers sold at a premium under the promise you'll never ever have a problem ever!! then when a problem does occur it's obviously your fault if i'm going to have to janitor my computer i might as well stay on windows

echinopsis posted:shucks guys I was talking about Time Machine, which is pretty automatic. "Do you want to use this external HD for time machine backups?" and if you click Yes then you get 100% automatic versioned backups from there. iCloud is fine for backing up your photos or your phone or whatever, but it's not really the same thing. you can save your documents to it if you want to. idk if iCloud backs up your settings etc on OS X like it does with iOS. and if Apple is gonna be so stingy with online backup space that they charge for more than 5GB, I can't imagine them providing enough space to backup your entire computer. the serial # thing is b/c companies were selling hackintoshes and Apple wasn't having any of that. still 1000x better than Windows' "oh hai I see u upgraded ur ram, since ur computer is different now we're gonna make you call Microsoft to verify you aren't using a pirated copy of Windows"

Mac is only no janitoring required if you live in the US and also mail your MacBook in to the factory every time an error dialogue pops up At least Windows and Linux errors usually can be solved by the user

echinopsis posted:if its a mac, it sounds like you got lucky I've had two macs over the course of 9 years. over that time I've upgraded (not reinstalled) OS X from 10.4 to to 10.11 using a single user account which I've never recreated or janitored in any way. I've had two technical issues over that time. one was a matSHITa superdrive in the iMac which really lived up to its manufacturer name and the other was a couple of days of instability caused by a gently caress up in the vmware kernel extension which meant i had to remove it for a couple of days until vmware updated. honestly echi it sounds like you're just bad at computers

i have 2 apple accounts because i made one and i guess forgot about it and then made another. so now i have some music and stuff on one, and also some music and stuff on the other. it's a pain in the rear end.quote:"Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud." gently caress YOU apple!

he hardware broke. how the hell is this my fault or me being bad? and sorry I assumed iCloud would do what it did on all my other apple devices, coz my Mac sure as hell didn't tell me it wouldn't be the Anawer to all my problems tell me.. can I back it up automatically to a network share

echinopsis posted:tell me.. can I back it up automatically to a network share it is, or at least used to be, possible to back up to a generic network share, even a windows/smb/cifs one - with some unsupported fiddling but the only supported network backup medium and the only one one that will work easily is time capsule. so, since you asked echinopsis posted:tell me.. can I back it up automatically to a network share the answer is no. attach a hard drive and use time machine you technologically challenged but lovable motherfucker e: unless you buy a time capsule. but you'll probably buy an antique one for 10,000 dollars or something so don't shitface fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Mar 2, 2016 |

so as usual the answer is to spend more money, rather than use something I already have if I have to physically attach a drive in 2016 I probably won't bother coz I won't remember to do it often enough to make it worth it

echinopsis posted:so as usual the answer is to spend more money, rather than use something I already have it's a pain the arse to get a remote backup without a time capsule working, involving creating a sparse bundle, loving with permissions then running some terminal command with literally includes the words "enable unsupported volume" somewhere in it. if you really want to try it you can google it but it will only end in further tears i wasn't always good at computers either and i remember having great luck with one of these  seriously though just buy a loving $50 hard drive for your $1500 computer and, presumably, >$1500 worth of time/work/treasured memories because i'm pretty sure where you're on our death bed and you look over to your great grandkids that your last words won't be, "I wish I hadn't spent $50 on keeping those pictures of you little fuckers"

this laptop is for my wife to manage her/our business. it's mostly emails and a few power pints and spreadsheets. anything of value should be on iCloud but didn't work so smoothly so I will investigate why it didn't seem to have saved the most recent things if the functionality to save the setup rather than a backup to the cloud doesn't exist I'll just go home disappointment rather than with a silly setup of plugging in an external and backing up manually like some kind of pidgeon
