If you buy a Mac, you’re committing yourself to Apple’s hardware design decisions. You’re also acquiring a well integrated combination of hardware and software that is generally reliable at the operating system level, and which supports a good variety of applications. If you like this  trade-off

Based on what I read. fsck allows one the opportunity to recover data. I didn't dig much deeper but am surmising that fsck could not repair the partition. TM transfer will soon be done...in about 9 hours. :) I probably could have deleted some of it first. Oh well. From E.T.'s Keyboard...

Hi, FSCK is a File System check. Not sure why it rendered your partition read only, but I don't see any reason why changing the Time Machine to a different partition would cause you any problems. Of course, you need to ensure that the partition is formatted MacOS Extended Journaled. Later...

Well I’ll agree they’re bloody expensive (£399 here). But if I have to get an iPhone I’d rather it be plus-sized. Data connectivity is not critical to me, but remember, it represents an extra burden (radio you may not be using, and the need for a SIM card). If Apple could just make a slightly sm

Agreed; seems much more likely that this will be Apple’s opportunity to move us all into the streaming world. Never say never, I suppose, but at best iTunes will be in the Utilities folder or something. I can’t imagine them trying to keep any aspect of the local library management stuff, ripping

Hi, Turn Time Machine off from within System Preferences. With TM turned off, you should be able to erase the partition. TM puts a lock on the volume, which is why you cannot erase that partition. It is possible that there's a bad sector or block on that partition, but we'll only go there if
