I've started using Mega for storing media in the cloud since it comes with 50GB free. I don't know much about the company though, so I don't store any personal pics or docs.
Gimme some milk.

I have all macs, so I pay $1/month for some iCloud space and mostly just try to remember to hook up an external drive for timemachine every so often

I think I do like meara? I don't remember what I signed up for, but something along those lines.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Thanks DCJ. It looks like that's for 10.9. I'm running 10.7.5. I've tried the commands, and it keeps coming up "command not found". There is a strong possibility I'm doing something wrong. I even tried logging in as administrator into Terminal. Same "command not found".

Poking around more, I found VLAN pref's in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>gear thingie>MANAGE VIRTUAL INTERFACES. Sure enough, there are NO virtual networks created.
How can a port have two IP addresses?!?!
:: shakes wee fist at the gods ::
This machine has 2 network ports. I've switched to the second. I give up. Too many fish to fry.
If anyone knows how/why a VLAN appears to be set up, although not in the pref's, and how to remove it, I'm happy to accept your help in erradicting the gremlin. But I'm not wasting anymore work time chasing ghosts.

Factory reset my phone after the lollipop upgrade frelled the battery life and caused it to overheat from doing just about anything. Dear god I have a lot of apps to reinstall. (It's automatically restoring itself so all I have to do is wait, but it's taking foreeeeeevvvvvveeeeerrrrrrr.)

Also just realizing how much I depend on Lastpass and logging into shit with Facebook! So until those two reappear I kind of can't do anything.

I forgot to say thanks for the cloud backup recs, so thank you!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
The lollipop upgrade is what's finally going to force me to an iPhone. I'm done with android. I'm having the same problems as you, and when I tried to back up the important stuff on my phone, it took three days. I couldn't delete text message threads, and I finally gave up on the factory reset after not being able to back everything up.
I do need to get Rob's text messages off of my phone and somewhere secure, because I'm pretty sure I can't import them on an iPhone. If anyone has any recs for that, I'd appreciate them.

I'm not sure I have the heart to go back to iOS. The upgrade to iOS7 was what sent me to the Android side in the first place!
I guess it's a mark of progress that we now have supercomputers the size of coasters in our pockets that are such a commodity we complain about them all the time?
