That actually doesn’t sound too bad until you get to the next question. Only 80 percent?) Twenty-six percent said they do back up their data. On page 14 of his Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard review, John Siracusa talks about Time Machine (which debuted in 2007 with Leopard) and shares some (pre-Leopard) backup stats of Mac users based on a poll Apple took:Įighty percent of Mac users said they knew they should back up their data. It’s easy to set up and use, and creates an excellent safety net for those who wish to back up their data to a locally-attached external hard drive. I'm really amazed OSX still having stupid bugs like this.Time Machine is Apple’s solution for the everyday Mac customer.

It's crazy, well, I came up with a new meaningful name for the drive so I'll live with a NEW name for the sake of the correct icon. the initial name shows the wrong icon, the new name shows the new icon. I am using a full spec Mac Pro and using it for music production so I'm really not interested in upgrading the OS, which is unnecessary and causes many software incompatibility problemsĪnyways I just changed the drive name to something else again and it fixed the problem while I was writing this post. I really hope someone can find a solution to this problem. Usually opening a png file with alpha in preview and copying it and pasting the clipboard to the drive info icon area works, however, this problem might have to do with how 10.10.5 deals with ExFAT formats. One strange thing which I think might have relation to the problem is that Parallels Desktop shows the drive as 'Read Only', which it is not and says 'You can read and write' on the info and I can read and write. Unmounted and remounted, now the default icon is not changing at all. So I removed the icon from info by the cut command, deleted '.VolumeIcon.icns', changed the drive name whatever icon re-applied showed the initial icon only. The first time I tried, it changed but couldn't change it again. I'm having icon change problem with the ExFAT one. Two of them with Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) format (usb3 and thunderbolt) Here is some more info to avoid anyone asking unnecessary questions.
