The first backup it takes aaaaaaaages! How many hours did your first backup take?
I haven't seen such a great learning tech video in ages! Only the necessary info, well structured and really helpful, thanks! p.s. love the accent! ;-)
Thanks Dave most helpful. I spent an hour at the Genius Bar yesterday. Outcome was that I need to go back to factory settings which scares me to death.... thought of losing 24k photos!!! So one slow step at a time for me. Cheers and thanks. Dianne.
Ah...clarity! Thank you.
This tutorial was very helped. This is probably a subject that's grey for most Mac users.
Hi Dave, very helpful video. When your external hard drive is full, do you have to use a new external hard drive?
Hi Dave. If you use a different external drive for your photos library (to save room on the Mac itself), will time machine also back up that drive?
How do you copy and paste on the iPad with voiceover because I'm a visually impaired person which means I have partial site but I still require voiceover
Thankyou for great directions! Very helpful and easy to do following your video. I bought the 4TB drive btw!
This is a very clear video. However, when I follow the steps, my time machine looks nothing like this. All that comes up is the WD passport ultra that doesn't seem to do anything. I have no idea if things are backing up or not but the computer keeps asking me to back up so I am assuming not. It won't even let me uninstall the WD software that is probably causing the problem...no idea what to do
Will you do the same for Microsoft PC?
I can't sign into my windows 11 pc because the user profile cannot be loaded and I also don't have the password for it so I can't access safe mode and it also won't allow to cloud reset pc could you please help me.
Hi Dave, how do I access my desktop computer without a password for me to reset and clean completely. I don't have the password anymore.
If I update an application, will time machine update also? Good to see you're using a Mac.

Yes, Time Machine will keep a backup of the latest app update. It also keeps older versions of your apps in the same way it keeps versions of documents
stay in preparing to Backup for over 5 hours and still nothing happening?
Hi Dave!Would you like to cooperate with PDFelement ??
