so hi there is Tuesday I'm not in my
office as you can see I'm actually with
a client right now trying to resolve
some issues with his iMac now the whole
point of this video today is to explain
how to keep your data and how to keep
your yeah your data safe this client
does use iCloud and he does use office
use this computer and it's a complete
mess files are absolutely everywhere now
it's not a main not a massive issue
where the issue comes is what the
problem that he has is that the system
got corrupt I've been trying to fix it
for past hour or so and I'm not able to
fix it so basically we have to reinstall
everything the the problem is that we
don't know where all the files are we
don't know where everything anything is
we it's not synced with anything so what
I'm planning to do today and I've
already explained to my client is to
make sure everything is in a cloud
service so in this instance we're going
to use iCloud because the it's the
easiest thing to use but things like 365
Dropbox to a certain degree although I
don't like that software or G suite
which is the one that I use for my for
running my business but this isn't a
business this is actually just a home
and he just needs to make sure that his
office computer is synced up with his
phone and with his lounge iMac as well
but the main issue is that the files are
all over the place nothing is synced
nothing is anywhere so I had to go and
scavenge all this data to make sure we
can get everything and put it in one
place so the point of this video is to
make sure you know where all your files
are just in case something happens to
your computer now you know he does have
back place the problem is he's been
getting emails saying it's not working
your
can't not account is frozen but the
backup is frozen so hasn't backed up for
the last 200 days so we've got to go in
and scavenge data to try to figure out
where it is and rebuild the computer
anyway I'm gonna carry on doing this
hope you guys having a great day
remember keep it simple and I will see
you tomorrow take care ciao bye
