Hi, I started over, but didn't see your note about backup just your files and apps. Don't honestly know how to do that using TM. I thought it was all or nothing except for excluding additional drives. So, I would go into where you choose the apps and system there? And I think that's what is...

Well, we're back to the beginning. After almost three solid days, we got to 63%. Each time I would check it was at 63%. It appeared to be backing up everything but "desktop and documents" I assume it doesn't if those are set to be in the iCloud (but all aren't in the iCloud since the computer is...

Doh...Yes, I read about that, where you can change the orientation. I don't think I'd like the "crown" on the left bottom. After 60 years of wearing watches on my right wrist, I may get one and wear on the left. I want it for all the health monitoring particularly. And I use the right hand mouse...

Yes, I think you're correct after what I've read. However, it does appear the backup will eventually finish. We're at 84.2%. I will have the previous backup (the system had erased all previous since I'd run out of room on the External) and I'll have this new one and use this External for TM. In...

I was playing with an apple watch at best buy yesterday and realized it is very awkward for me, a leftie. Wonder if they'll come out with one for left handed people..

I think we're good. I've been babysitting it. Long way still to go but both iCloud and TM appear to be moving. The iCloud has been almost 20 hrs as well.

I got a message that the 1TB External didn't have enough space to back up the 900GB of the computer. There was only 56GB left, and I assume since the computer only has 100GB of space left, the computer and external can't manage the backup. So... I purchase a 2TB and set it up so I have the old...

In order to attempt to transition from the ITB Mac mini circa 2016 (2014 model) to a MM2 with "just" 512gb on it, I made the decision to put "desktop and documents" in the iCloud. My thinking, since I have 200gb on a Family plan and had only used 48gb to date, that would help. I checked today...

...though I gave it five minutes, not 43. How this would solve my issue in moving iMovie libraries I don't know. I guess I could also take a trip to London for a vacation then shop for a bike.

Me done did the look.

I did find some YT tutorials that are helping a bit... but now I have another issue with the Event showing up in the iMOVIE in the package, but not in the EVENTS on the computer. :-) As I understand it, even though there are folders marked EVENTS and PROJECTS the library saves everything. And if...

Thanks for replying but I don't know what this means :cool:

I'm really terrified of losing years of iMovie events etc in the libraries. I need to move about 300gb of Movie libraries out of my 1TB Mac Mini to do the M2 Mac Mini upgrade to 512gb. I've read on how to move the Libraries, and though I'm still scared to do it, I did move a smaller library over...

Hi. I have a 2TB External just sitting doing nothing. It had a back up from the MacMini from 2021 when I had a very bad crash updating from High Sierra to Monterey. So, I just erased and reformatted as Journal, Extended after reading about the APFS and trying to figure out whether it would work...

Yeppers. Doesn't solve my problem, however ... if you save "online only" you can delete from the computer and dropbox then does act as an external. Phew. Got there through the back way :-)

well, that explains that! Thanks. Do'h. And here I thought I've been moving stuff onto the dropbox to free up space on the HD. For the past eight years :cool:

Yeah, what I figured I would do is use Externals for all the usual suspects. I already have movies offline, and back up photo.libraries. And all the archived iMovie stuff. What gets confusing as well, as it appears that anything I have saved offline through dropbox shows up as being on my...

That's what I'm asking ... so, do I transfer everything to an external to make the switch? Do the apps transfer okay? I guess the question is, just how easy is it to do? I mean, I have 1TB "in the cloud" between Dropbox and Apple, but I really don't like the process of getting things out of the...

I currently have a 2014 MacMini and am glad to have not upgraded to the M1 (with the M2 now available). I'm sure the lower end one would meet my needs, except for a question I haven't been able to solve. I currently have 800+gb saved on my SSD drive that came with the 1TB Mac Mini 2014. How the...
