The case of the Mysterious disappearing disk space
Mystery of the disappearing disk space — Reality Distortion: Macs, Mac OS… – StumbleUpon. Interesting. I wonder what caused that behavior. I have never noticed that in any Mac I’ve worked on.

USB 3.0 vs FireWire 3200 | TechieSouls – StumbleUpon. Nice comparison. I didn’t know about FW 3200 before reading this. I have always liked FireWire for macs, and USB for PCs.
Problems restoring backup to an iPhone 4?
In this thread he discusses this problem and even finds a solution. Great work juan152.
I was able to solve it!
So, I have a Windows 7 (64-bit computer) with the latest updated iTunes and it woudn’t want to restore my iPhone to a backed up version I had a few days ago. These are the steps I took to fix it myself.
What I used: 2 Laptops (Windows 7 laptop and Windows Vista Computer) and an external hard drive.
1. On my Windows 7 computer, I went to C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/Mobile Sync/Backup/[a huge set of numbers/letters] and put all the files of the earliest folder (as it is the most recent backup) into my external hard drive for transfer. ***Note: In order to view AppData, you must Unhide all hidden folders from the control panel***
2. I transferred the folder from my external hard drive to my Windows Vista Computer in C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/AppleComputer/MobileSync/MobileSync/Backup….
3. I connected my iPhone to my Windows Vista Computer, right clicked my iPhone in iTunes and “Restore from Backup.” The huge folder that I copied from my hard drive to my Local Disk Drive C:/ was there and it was able to restore!
Good luck! This took me 3 hours to figure out!

Do you want to share files between Mac and Windows 7? This is an easy way to do both read/write. Thanks Stress Test!
Open Disk Utility.app (Applications > Utilities), mark your external Disc (The entry starting with the size) and click on “Partition” on the right side. Select “1 partition” and as Format, select “ExFAT” that should work with files bigger than 4GB.

CloudStor vs StorCenter vs BlackArmor NAS 220
The reviewer felt that the Buffalo CloudStor was the best value. I tend to like Seagate things for reliability, but in his review he had reliability problems with. So I would choose the Buffalo device based on this review.
