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

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 |

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"

echinopsis posted:this laptop is for my wife to manage her/our business sell the ice, keep the laptop echinopsis posted:rather than with a silly setup of plugging in an external and backing up manually the back up part is automatic. does your wife happen to plug in a usb printer or other peripheral semi-regularly? if so attach that/those to a cheapo hub along with an hd and every time she plugs in it will back up automatically.

Shaggar posted:icloud backups on ios will randomly stop working without telling you. idk how it works in osx but its probably the same. much like my mac i've been carrying the same profile/backup since 2008. no clean-reinstalls. during that time i've jailbroken and run pre-release iOS releases and i've still never had an issue you're holding it wrong shitface fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Mar 2, 2016 |

Shaggar posted:nope. its bad software from a bad company and its one reason I don't use ios anymore. my mum doesn't always remember her partner of 15 years or husband of 40 years but she can still use iOS and Macs better than you can
