via The Sweet Setup:<\/a><\/p>\n

As 2014 comes to a close, many of us are looking ahead to making 2015 our most successful year yet. As Apple users, we generally take pride in our computing setup and technology. Technology is always moving forward, so you can\u2019t go years without upgrading or maintaining your equipment. While resolutions generally deal with losing weight or finishing a project at home, our technology setups can also be part of our plan. Here is a list of things you might consider doing in the coming year:<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seven Tips, 6 of which I\u2019ve taken up in the last 120 days. I\u2019m in the process now of fully setup up my iOS and iPod Classic devices from scratch and I just completed full time machine restores to my iMac and MacBook Pro mostly in an effort to make sure my backups work as needed. Something really important is to once a year do a full Time Machine restore. Make sure the backups kicking off every hour are going to be there for you when you need them.<\/p>\n

This week, full rebuilds of iTunes and iPhoto libraries.<\/p>\n

Next week, personal server maintenance<\/p>\n

Week after, full test of a Backblaze restore.<\/p>\n

Lots going on and this blog post came at a great time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via The Sweet Setup: As 2014 comes to a close, many of us are looking ahead to making…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-08-31T00:05:58Z","apple_news_api_id":"37a1e833-5c6c-45f0-88f1-0187a2d6547f","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-08-31T00:05:58Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AN6HoM1xsRfCI8QGHotZUfw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-19U","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4417,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/01\/09\/some-2015-resolutions-on-movies-and-television\/","url_meta":{"origin":4458,"position":0},"title":"Some 2015 Resolutions on movies and television","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"January 9, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"I\u2019ve decided this year to go back and watch some films I never saw.
