What a useless feature. If I want it deleted, I don't want to see it again for a reason. So stop trying to show it to me again. "Oh what if I deleted it on accident?" That is what the recycling bin is for.
@datafreak667 well it's still overpriced for what it is, I mean it's an external hard drive. And 2TB for $300? that's just ridiculous, I can get a 4TB external HDD for less than that
@datafreak667 try buying a hard drive in 2011 the prices sky rocketed so now the timemachince is the fist apple product worth the money (apple makes their own hard drives so they are not affected)
@datafreak667 Well considering that Apple doesn't make their own HDD's they would still be affected. The HDD's on Macs are mostly made by Seagate. If you were to get the most expensive 2TB external hard drive from Seagate you're looking at $178 compared to the $300 in the Apple store. Sure prices got higher, but it's still quite low compared to Apple prices
@datafreak667 "(apple makes their own hard drives so they are not affected)"
Um, no. There's not a damn piece of hardware in an apple computer that Apple actually MAKES. Their HDD's are from Seagate, their Motherboards are from Intel, as are their CPU's. Their graphics cards are from AMD. Sorry, but no. Apple is an OEM, meaning they assemble the parts (in China), they do not actually MAKE the parts. They never have.
@AndrewDeLong Intel sucks at graphics thats always been a fact just consider that intel hd 3000 is less than half a square inch small. but if your building a pc the intel core i7 sandybridge processor is pretty good so what I did was buy 2 nvidia pci express geforce cards (don't remember witch kind) and i have kick ass graphics
@godhammer666 uh, no. System Restore is a very basic backup. More settings and info on the system. Time Machine actually backs up data as well, so every hour it checks for changes and backs up those changes. If your HDD breaks, you can restore data with Time Machine, not with Windows System Restore.
If your HD breaks, Time Machine will not save your data. Not by a long shot. Professional data recovery services will be required. This is basic knowledge.
backups on the same HDD make no sense. time machine can back up to external hard drives, apple's time capsule and many 3rd party NAS servers.
It takes something like 5 clicks to configure and works flawlessly.
Windows backup is a lot worse. Couldn't get it to work on my Windows 7 machine. Got an error half way through the initial backup 2 or 3 times and then I gave up because I don't have any important data on that machine anyway. (It's just for gaming. All my work is on my MacBook)
@godhammer666 Except the mac version isn't shit, Its what apple always has done, Smartphones were shit, apple brought out iPhone Smartphones are now awesome, Tablets were shit, apple brought out iPad, Now tablets are awesome.
Time machine is the only easy solution to when a hard drive crashes, just put a new hard drive in their and put in the install disk and select restore from time machine drive and 30 mins later your back to where you were on the old hard drive.
@godhammer666 No is not a copy, on time machine you only restore the documents that you want and with the system restore you restore documents that maybe you dont want to restore besides before time machine there is an option called disk utility that makes backups on your hard drive and is on any os x systems, i think you dont know what are you talking about.
@godhammer666 System Reshit and Time Machine are two different things. I owned a PC and used System Restore and currently own a Mac and use Time Machine, so don't accuse me of being a hardcore Apple fanboy (even though I am). I've used both.
This is the only reason that I recommended a Mac to my dad. It actually saved his life once. The hard drive crashed just before going to a business trip, and he used TM to restore the whole system in a few hours just like it was... in a new hard drive.
Time Machine keeps hourly backups of all your files for the past 24hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for everything older than that.
Windows system restore is something very different.
The sort of equivalent feature on Windows would "backup and restore".
@vid1688 Macs have trash bins too... big woop. Time Machine is something entirely different that works with external drives or wireless network drives in the background.
First of all, this ad is 3-4 years old. Second of all, stop commenting saying "System Restore" in Windows is the same thing. It's not.... Let's see, have you ever owned a Mac? Probably not. Do you really know what Time Machine is and how it works? Definitely not.
@Sourceguy1 Time Machine initially clones your Mac's hard drive to an external drive or a network drive (such as the time capsule router Apple sells). It then copies any new files or altered files to this backup every hour. This way, if you delete a file by accident or something else happens, you can launch Time Machine and go back in the history of a folder by date and restore any file or prior version of a file. This works in the background and doesn't suck resources or slow anything down.
o.o wow that sounds like such a waste of resources to copy your entire system once an hour. Unless a mac comes with a terabyte of memory now I can't see how this feature would be a very practical way of protecting yourself from the occasional loss of unsaved work.
You can't really compare recycle bin and system restore to time machine.
Recycle bin is obviously if you deleted a file and want it back.
System restore takes snapshots of the entire computer, while timemachine takes snapshots of each file. So you can revert back or restore without having to restore your whole computer.
Wait whats special about this. ANYTHING can be gotten from a hard drive unless it is physically destroyed. Nothing is ever lost from typical recycle bin deletion. So kinda seems like Apple yet again made something for the mentally challenged people of the world.
I think PC had this feature before Mac. It called Systen Restore. If you accidently delete a document you can use Resycle Bin, even if you deleted document from computer you can still reseve it back! TAKE THAT MAC!
I am a Mac user and I am satisfied BUT these ads just suck. Does Apple really has to do this kind of stuff? Telling every time that Mac its sooo much better in everything, PC users are frustrated all the time, ...? I am kinda ashamed by this commercials...
Lol who gives a shit anyone can do this with an external hd and software. I guess when you say "time machine" its sounds different and new... its not.
I hope to get thumbs up on this. I got a 3 months old Macbook Pro 13" and you talk about stability and realibility?
99% of the times when I "close" my MBP and it goes into sleepmode, when I bring the screen back up the laptop just dies and I need to press the startbutton like 15 times before it starts again.
@overlord848 so your rich then? well the majority of the population isnt particularly wealthy especially now... so id rather get a cheap computer that can browse the interwebs and make a word document and play games. rather then an overly priced machine that dose that but only has a lot of " cool" extras that you have to have for only the additional cost of a BILLION euro,dollers,pounds(whatever). so yeah, i buy pc. (:
@overlord848 its still expensive though. id rather have something cheap and simple. and anyway why get windows if you use a mac and you say pc is for poor people??? just want to know
@KyuubiNaruto1337XD the thing is why mac is better is that the things that pc can do mac can do but mac have more extras and stuff for it no virus i have a mac for more then 10 years i ouse my new mac cause its better but the mac thats 10 years works perfectly you talk about gaming i have a ps3 no need for a pc and wen i wanna play games on my mac i switch to windows 7 wen i stop playing games on my mac i go back to os
@overlord848 "the thing is why mac is better is that the things that pc can do mac can do but mac have more extras and stuff for it no virus"
you have no arguments, you just want to bitch to pc... tell me about these wonderful extras mac has... (please avoid the "no viruses" argument, it is the most retarded premise of every macfag).
Mac has the Time Machine, which is complicated and difficult to use (I've actually used it for a friend before).
Windows has the Recycle Bin, which stores all deleted files before permanently removing them. It also has System Restore, which came before Mac's time machine.
@TheMsbuffay You know why I hate Macs? They turn perfectly good people into stubborn apple idiots. They insist on wasting 3 times the money on a computer that they refuse to believe can ever have any type of error, just because Apple and their now proven FALSE GOD Steve Jobs say so. And then if a PC runs slower than a Mac, you use that as proof that Macs are better, when you only spent $500 on that crappy PC, and $2000 on that Mac. Why don't you get an Alienware M17x and compare that to MacBook
Volume Snapshot Service (VSS) has been around since XP. In the more recent versions of Windows 7 you can access the individual file or folder recovery by RIGHT CLICKING on the file or its top level folder and selecting the PREVIOUS VERSIONS tab.If its blanks, its probably because you were to stupid to figure out how to enable it in SYSTEM PROTECTION under the SYSTEM PROPERTIES. Just like Apples time machine, it too must be enabled and configured.Windows has had this ability longer. PS-Fuck Apple

@AnnoyingBritishKid Its different. time Machine saves an essay if you forgot to and shut down your computer. It makes sure everything is ok. My brother found his final essay senior year thanks to it. He dropped his computer and the battery fell out. That's why its cool.
You mac users are damn useful idiots. Keep thinking you don't have a PC. Keep thinking you don't have a mp3 player, but a Ipod. When you peel that damn apple off of it and open it up you will see all the same components. A fancy cooling system don't make it different. What type of file formats your device plays don't matter, its all based off the very same technology. the only thing that can potentially make if different is software. Who am i? A technician of both macs and personal computers.
@trueredexe one button, of the mouse you mean? is that sarcasm or youre truly making a point of that? as if that was something in favor of mac interaction hardware
@elchapetas Mac Eliminated all your choices so you can't fuck up your own computer. That's basically what I'm saying. Plus a Mac IS a PC. Its hilarious that people bought into the idea that its something different.
@trueredexe or you may be attempting to point out macs general simplicity. Im assuming you just wanted to write something for the sake of showing your support for mac, no matter how trivial or irrelevant, also why do you need to tell everyone to shut up?
@batmannotahero oh god dude, mp3 (mpeg-1 and mpeg-2) is just an older version of mpeg-4, OR more commonly known as mp4, there are new graphic features for the mp4 format, such as 3d rendering, nevertheless there also exist independent mp4 players that are much cheaper and offer the same functions.
@trueredexe Yes, if the bottom line is, an iPod (minus the iPod Touch) is mainly a portable audio device. You have to agree the iPod Touch is hardly an audio device.
it works fine I changed my mac this year and after restore from time machine my new mac was looking the same than the previous one (mails, accounts, additional softwares, pictures, documents, videos, musics, preferences, websites,etc...)
@Pauliticiann Not really :P Time Machine is much faster system restore and you can just pic any thing you would like from past and bring it to present, or just restore easily how your pc was at past, see this video /watch?v=1BOwL8MuE_Y
@ChristopherDone kid, time machine backups stuff inside the computer, so if it brakes or gets stolen, youre left without your files as well, you can easily create backups on PC by selecting the desired file pushing control+c and then pushing in some other directory control+v, as long as you have enough space.
You may actually refer to external means of data storage.
@elchapetas “Kid”, do more research. Time Machine places strict requirements on the backup storage medium. The only officially supported configurations are: (1) A non-booting hard drive or partition connected directly to the computer, either internally or by a bus like USB or FireWire, and formatted as journaled HFS+. (2) A folder on a journaled HFS+ file system shared by another Mac on the same network running at least Leopard. (3) A drive shared by an Apple Time Capsule on the same network.
@ChristopherDone quite useless in my perspective, big files like programs arent needed to be updated every hour inside external harddrives, and small files like documents can easily be saved on USB drives, Ive never lost a file because of negligence and it doesnt take a great effort to save and categorize.
And dude really, take things less seriously, my intention was to merely be humorously facetious, as I you may contemplate I succeeded in said task, its not that think backups arent necessary.
I have a Mac, and I miss my video games. Thank Christ for Dual Boot.
The thing is, it's practically the same hardware in a shiny, slim case, with an operating system that's neater and easier to use than Windows. BUT windows still has it's benefits; one being gaming. I know that Steam has the Mac games but come on, it's not got the same variety of games compared to Windows.
Folks - There's a lot of dis-information from the PC crowd below. First off, they mistake "Microsoft Backup" for TimeMachine which is in fact an incremental backup. Second, they seem to think that Mac's don't play games, which has nothing to do with the video at hand and is blatantly false. And you'll see them suggesting that Mac's cost $Crazy.00 which quite frankly isn't the case. In short, they talk an awful lot about what they do not know.
@kvesterling Oh and btw, there are tons of freeware that can do what time machine can do, much better, ever since xp or even w2000. Recuva is one, hell the command prompt can recover archives since the inception of windows
@elchapetas How do yo do it man? In talking with you I've got to wonder how is it that you go through life knowing only enough to be dangerous? That's quite a history you have there. I myself go all the way back to the late 1970's when backups were done on big iron, and then there were tape robots, and Veritas NetBackup. You really should do research before inserting your foot in your mouth. You see, that way you can avoid stepping in your own piles first. Time machine makes backups easy.
@kvesterling cmd: recover [disc:][pathway\file.format]recovery. theres your file, smartass.
recuva or winundelete, simple as hell
macs software concept is completely unpractical and ineffective compared to PCs software. Since youre a mac user, Ill assume your computer skills are low
@elchapetas And does that solution auto-magically make the backups, without user intervention, and CAN the file/folder be retrieved from a nice GUI? How many revisions of files will be saved? Will those backups be done hourly? Daily? Weekly? You see, there's a lot more to how cool this Time Machine stuff is than you seem to know... Folks - it truly must suck to be a zealot. Oh, about my skills... > 25 years experience in this stuff. Unix, Linux, Solaris, Irix, Winduhs, and yes. Mac.
@elchapetas "Hello, I'm a PC, and I'm careful and intelligent enough not to erase files accidentally."??? Really?? Have you ever even used a Mac? I've used more Windows based computers than OSX and you know what? I've only had issues like that with windows! Stop being such a moron before you embarrass yourself.

I hope to get thumbs up on this. I got a 3 months old Macbook Pro 13" and you talk about stability and realibility?
99% of the times when I "close" my MBP and it goes into sleepmode, when I bring the screen back up the laptop just dies and I need to press the startbutton like 15 times before it starts again.
There you go..

@overlord848 so your rich then? well the majority of the population isnt particularly wealthy especially now... so id rather get a cheap computer that can browse the interwebs and make a word document and play games. rather then an overly priced machine that dose that but only has a lot of " cool" extras that you have to have for only the additional cost of a BILLION euro,dollers,pounds(whatever). so yeah, i buy pc.

wait, shit...
Basically you have to run bootcamp to get any Windows OS, Pc's can do the same, but without the emulator.
Why would you pay 1.5k for a mac with a dual core piece of shit, when I can get a full blown gaming rig for that much with 6 cores.

Mac has the Time Machine, which is complicated and difficult to use (I've actually used it for a friend before).
Windows has the Recycle Bin, which stores all deleted files before permanently removing them. It also has System Restore, which came before Mac's time machine.

@TheMsbuffay You know why I hate Macs? They turn perfectly good people into stubborn apple idiots. They insist on wasting 3 times the money on a computer that they refuse to believe can ever have any type of error, just because Apple and their now proven FALSE GOD Steve Jobs say so. And then if a PC runs slower than a Mac, you use that as proof that Macs are better, when you only spent $500 on that crappy PC, and $2000 on that Mac. Why don't you get an Alienware M17x and compare that to MacBook

Volume Snapshot Service (VSS) has been around since XP. In the more recent versions of Windows 7 you can access the individual file or folder recovery by RIGHT CLICKING on the file or its top level folder and selecting the PREVIOUS VERSIONS tab.If its blanks, its probably because you were to stupid to figure out how to enable it in SYSTEM PROTECTION under the SYSTEM PROPERTIES. Just like Apples time machine, it too must be enabled and configured.Windows has had this ability longer. PS-Fuck Apple

You mac users are damn useful idiots. Keep thinking you don't have a PC. Keep thinking you don't have a mp3 player, but a Ipod. When you peel that damn apple off of it and open it up you will see all the same components. A fancy cooling system don't make it different. What type of file formats your device plays don't matter, its all based off the very same technology. the only thing that can potentially make if different is software. Who am i?

No one thinks backups are necessary until they get their laptop stolen or their hard drive conks out. Then they finally understand.
ChristopherDone 5 months ago
@ChristopherDone kid, time machine backups stuff inside the computer, so if it brakes or gets stolen, youre left without your files as well, you can easily create backups on PC by selecting the desired file pushing control+c and then pushing in some other directory control+v, as long as you have enough space.
You may actually refer to external means of data storage.
elchapetas 5 months ago
@elchapetas “Kid”, do more research. Time Machine places strict requirements on the backup storage medium. The only officially supported configurations are: (1) A non-booting hard drive or partition connected directly to the computer, either internally or by a bus like USB or FireWire, and formatted as journaled HFS+. (2) A folder on a journaled HFS+ file system shared by another Mac on the same network running at least Leopard. (3) A drive shared by an Apple Time Capsule on the same network.
ChristopherDone 5 months ago
@ChristopherDone quite useless in my perspective, big files like programs arent needed to be updated every hour inside external harddrives, and small files like documents can easily be saved on USB drives, Ive never lost a file because of negligence and it doesnt take a great effort to save and categorize.
And dude really, take things less seriously, my intention was to merely be humorously facetious, as I you may contemplate I succeeded in said task, its not that think backups arent necessary.

The thing is, it's practically the same hardware in a shiny, slim case, with an operating system that's neater and easier to use than Windows. BUT windows still has it's benefits; one being gaming. I know that Steam has the Mac games but come on, it's not got the same variety of games compared to Windows.
They are both good for their own merits.

imallamafromspace 5 months ago
Folks - There's a lot of dis-information from the PC crowd below. First off, they mistake "Microsoft Backup" for TimeMachine which is in fact an incremental backup. Second, they seem to think that Mac's don't play games, which has nothing to do with the video at hand and is blatantly false. And you'll see them suggesting that Mac's cost $Crazy.00 which quite frankly isn't the case. In short, they talk an awful lot about what they do not know.

elchapetas 5 months ago
@elchapetas How do yo do it man? In talking with you I've got to wonder how is it that you go through life knowing only enough to be dangerous? That's quite a history you have there. I myself go all the way back to the late 1970's when backups were done on big iron, and then there were tape robots, and Veritas NetBackup. You really should do research before inserting your foot in your mouth. You see, that way you can avoid stepping in your own piles first. Time machine makes backups easy.

elchapetas 5 months ago
@elchapetas And does that solution auto-magically make the backups, without user intervention, and CAN the file/folder be retrieved from a nice GUI? How many revisions of files will be saved? Will those backups be done hourly? Daily? Weekly? You see, there's a lot more to how cool this Time Machine stuff is than you seem to know... Folks - it truly must suck to be a zealot. Oh, about my skills... > 25 years experience in this stuff. Unix, Linux, Solaris, Irix, Winduhs, and yes. Mac.
